Chapter 46 Sister in Danger, Rescue Immediately
Chapter 46 Sister in Danger, Rescue Immediately
There were indeed two "uninvited guests" in the house, but they were not there to collect debts. Instead, they were the same people they had met during the day: Miss Ji Liguang from the Ji family of Tiandu.
And his previous boss, Miss Shen Yaoxing of the Shen family in Linjiang.
Moreover, the scene was quite bizarre; for some reason, the blond, arrogant guy was sleeping soundly in his bed.
Shen Yaoxing sat elegantly in what could be called a "living room," holding a plastic cup of hot water in her hands and taking a sip with great grace.
"Young Miss? What are you doing here?"
Shen Yaoxing looked at the man with a stupid expression and sighed helplessly, saying, "I'm here to collect a debt. Someone still owes me 20 yuan and disappeared early this morning."
"..."
Although it differed from what was expected, the people who came were indeed there to collect a debt.
Lu Ren then remembered that he still had a debt of 20 yuan between himself and the young lady.
The loud banging on the door woke up a blonde girl in bed.
Ji Liguang rubbed his eyes, saw Lu Ren at the door, and said, "Oh, it's you. What are you doing making noise here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"What do you mean 'late at night'? It's only six o'clock!"
"The sun is about to set, isn't it already evening?"
She yawned again, lay back down, and soon her even breathing could be heard, as if she didn't care at all whether she was in her own home or not.
But Lu Ren cared a lot, because this was his home!
Shen Yaoxing explained, "This child is from the Ji family of Tiandu. He has the talent of a fiery heart, but there is also a price to pay. He is prone to getting sleepy and tired after sunset."
"Surely you don't have to be this tired?"
"She was probably too tired today. She suddenly came to my place and cried all afternoon. I asked her why, but she wouldn't say."
"Are you and the young lady very close?"
"Fortunately, her mother is my cousin, and according to seniority, I am her aunt."
Lu Ren was somewhat uncertain and asked, "Did the young lady come here specifically... to collect a debt?"
Shen Yaoxing put down the paper cup, brushed her hair behind her ear with her jade-like fingers, and then looked up at him with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Lu Ren was struck by something.
With her beauty, background, abilities, and personality, Shen Yaoxing is undeniably outstanding, even perfect. Anyone would feel pressured and uneasy looking into the eyes of such a woman.
She is the epitome of womanhood, the epitome of femininity, the eldest daughter of the Shen family of Linjiang, Shen Yaoxing!
However, in Lu Ren's eyes, the young lady's figure was shrinking continuously, turning into a tiny, angry hamster.
The little hamster said angrily, "You dare to run away without a word? You have no idea, that cow actually brought Longyou to my house to show off, huh? What does she mean by that? Does she think she's won? Okay, she won. I'm really furious right now. I almost grabbed a shotgun and shot that despicable Lailai a few times..."
The sun has set, which means the stars are now in the sky.
"Young Miss, please calm down. They're just concerned about you, Young Miss..."
"And you!"
The little hamster got even angrier and accused him of his crime, saying:
"You actually ran away secretly! Even you joined them in bullying me, waaaaah!!"
"I didn't, Miss Bailu didn't say that..."
Lu Ren paused for a moment as he spoke.
Bai Lu didn't seem to say anything from beginning to end.
So, were all those things like "the young lady no longer needs him" just things he imagined?
He forced a smile and said, "Didn't we agree to escort the young lady back to her clan? And I've completed my mission...?"
"But didn't we agree to be a team for life, to be adventurers together? What do you take an adventure team for? Is it a place where you can come and go as you please? Or do you actually think I'm a troublesome partner, and that you actually hate me?"
The young lady was very angry, like a hamster with its cheeks puffed up in anger, so Lu Ren could only smile apologetically and admit his mistake.
How could he possibly dislike the young lady?
It's actually quite enjoyable to hang out with the young lady. She's righteous and protective, rich and generous, and she even brought me into this industry. You could say she's my benefactor.
"Actually...it's my sister's birthday today. I came back to celebrate with her. I was planning to go back to see the young lady after the celebration."
Shen Yaoxing asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Really, really!"
Shen Yaoxing was skeptical: "You're not lying to me?"
"Who would dare to lie to the young lady! She's so clever, who could possibly fool her!?"
Shen Yaoxing laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha, of course!"
Seeing that he was almost appeased, Lu Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and asked, "But it's almost evening. So, am I really that important to Miss?"
The little hamster put her hands on her hips and said crisply, "My intuition tells me that I'd better come over, otherwise something bad might happen."
"Is it intuition again?"
Lu Ren found it amusing, looked around the room but didn't see Lu Youhe, and casually asked, "By the way, where's my sister?"
"Your sister? I don't know, she wasn't here when we arrived."
"She's not here? How did the young lady get in?"
Shen Yaoxing tilted her head and said, "Your door wasn't locked when I came in, so I just came in and sat down. Your house was a mess when I first came in, so I helped tidy it up."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren inwardly felt a sense of foreboding.
He rushed outside and stood by the stairwell, looking down. His group of cronies had already gathered below.
He pointed to the luxury car downstairs and shouted at them, "Jia Hui, is this the car you're talking about?!"
The blond-haired man looked up at him. "No, it's a black van!"
"Jia Hui, you son of a bitch!"
"You fucking..."
This had nothing to do with the blond-haired guy, and if it weren't for him reminding him, he would still be completely confused. But now he was so angry that he just wanted to curse.
Lu Ren felt his blood boiling, but he also knew that he needed to stay calm.
He went back into the house, looked at Shen Yaoxing sitting there with a blank expression, grabbed her shoulders, and said:
"Young Miss, my sister might have been kidnapped! Please help me!"
Lu Ren had been following Shen Yaoxing around for a month, always carefree and never so serious or earnest. It was also the first time he had ever said something like "help me."
There was even a pleading look in his eyes.
Shen Yaoxing's figure seemed to grow taller little by little, and she actually broke free from the hamster state.
"Don't rush, do you know who they are?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because they asked me for money last time. My dad's got a ton of debt, and they can't find that old bastard, so they came looking for my sister!"
Shen Yaoxing frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. At least from now on, your sister will be fine. Don't worry."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry!"
Unlike my previous life, this world is not filled with surveillance cameras everywhere. Urban villages are also a mixed bag, so it's not uncommon for a few people to go missing every month.
If Lu Youhe has really been kidnapped, calling the police now won't help. But in Linjiang, if the Shen family wants to find someone, unless that person has been planning for a long time, is intentionally hiding, and has an "intuition" that allows them to seek advantage and avoid harm—it's like having a cheat code—they can catch even a sparrow, let alone a person.
There is only one Shen Yaoxing in the world, so there is no way a second person can escape.
