Chapter 45: Home

There’s not much to say about what happened after that. It was only at seven or eight o’clock that night when he saw Lu Hua. Before he had time to speak, Lu Zheng carried him to the car and he was sent to the hospital.

In the car, Chang Qing saw Lu Hua covered in dirt and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you so dirty?”

Lu Hua’s eyes were red and swollen. After she heard Chang Qing’s words, she said bitterly, “There are wild boars here! Come on, this is a city, not the countryside. Why are there still such creatures?”

Chang Qing: “… then where are you hurt?”

Lu Hua turned to the grievance again, “I met a little pig. It ran me over and I fell down.”

Chang Qing looked down at her calf, but there was only some mud and no wound.

Lu Hua thought of Qin Lang again, and hurriedly said to Lu Zheng: “Second brother! Have you caught that Qin Lang? He said that he found someone to kill our parents. He said it himself. Chang… brother heard it, too!”

Lu Zheng glanced at her in the rearview mirror and paused slightly. “… We’ll talk about it when we get back. “

Lu Hua asked, “Where’s that Qin Lang! You’re freaking me out! If he doesn’t get arrested, next time I’ll die!”

Lu Zheng replied casually, “Caught and sent to the hospital.”

Lu Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on her face finally eased, “Fortunately he was caught. Second brother, I misjudged you. You’re not a sociopath. Qin Lang is a sociopath.”

Lu Zheng ignored her. Chang Qing could see that he wasn’t in good spirits and was in a depressed mood. He covered her mouth quickly so she’d stop talking.

Lu Hua obediently looked up at Chang Qing and sat a little closer to him. She put her head on his shoulder and whispered, “I’m so tired. I’m going to sleep. Call me when we get there.”

Chang Qing let out a ”hmm” and said softly, “Go to sleep.””

Lu Hua grabbed Chang Qing’s left hand and slowly closed her eyes. Chang Qing’s other hand stretched out and straightened her messy hair.

This scene was witnessed by Lu Zheng. He didn’t know what to think. It was strange and complicated. He couldn’t understand the discomfort, so he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.

Their imposing demeanor almost made people think that they were seriously ill. The doctor arranged for them to have a quick check-up, but they only had some bruises. Chang Qing had a low fever, but that was all.

The doctor treated Lu Hua’s wound and gave Chang Qing an antipyretic medicine, which was the end of the matter.

When he returned to Lu’s house, Chang Qing still had a subtle sense of being in a daze. How could he come back so easily?

Lu Zheng said: “After you were kidnapped, someone came to the door.”

Chang Qing: “Who?”

Lu Zheng said: “A private detective, you weren’t here, so I asked him to go back first.”

Chang Qing dragged out his voice “…Oh.”

Their conversation was limited to this, and soon Lu Hua cried out, “Mother Zhang! Mother Zhang!!!”

Mother Zhang came out immediately. She didn’t even have time to take off her apron. “Ah, Xiao Hua, you’re back! I’ve been worried sick. Your brother called me and I just started cooking! What do you want to eat. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll cook it for you.

Lu Hua said with a solemn expression: ” I want…a bowl of plain noodles.”

Mother Zhang: “Huh??”

Lu Hua said, “I narrowly escaped death this time. I want to recall the sorrows of the past and savour the joys of the present.”

Mother Zhang: “…”

She didn’t understand very well, but she smiled indulgently at her. “OK, I’ll make you a bowl of noodles.”

With that, Mother Zhang went back to the kitchen.

Lu Hua also had an indescribable sense of trance and unreality. If it were an ordinary child, there might be some psychological shadow left after this encounter, but for Lu Hua, it seemed a little unrealistic.

Her brain can only deal with the situation in front of her. When she encountered danger, she would be afraid, cry, and feel overwhelmed. But as soon as the danger passes, she immediately adapted well and left the bad things she encountered behind her.

After the blurring of the facts, there was a bit of an incredible and subtle self-feeling that she’d actually encountered this kind of thing and managed to escape. It felt a little bit fashionable.

At that time, all the fear disappeared.

After all was said and done, Lu Hua was still tired. No matter how energetic she was, she had been tossed for a day. It was already all she could do to prop herself up and wait for Mother Zhang to have dinner.

Lu Hua said to Chang Qing with an obedient expression, “Are you hungry?”

Chang Qing touched his stomach and felt it for a moment, “A little bit.”

Lu Hua said, “What do you want to eat?”

Chang Qing said, “I suddenly want to eat fried rice with eggs.”

Lu Hua lifted her chin, “I’ll go and tell Mother Zhang. Wait for me.”

After she finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen.

Lu Zheng looked at her back, and suddenly said, “She has changed a lot.”

Chang Qing was shocked, “You’re actually paying attention to Lu Hua.”

Lu Zheng gave him a sideways look. “She is my sister.”

Wow, it’s ‘my sister’ again.

However, Lu Hua had indeed changed a lot. At least Chang Qing, who was in constant contact with her, was the most intuitive. He pursed his lips, smiled, and said, “It’s a good thing to be able to change. Now this look is quite cute.”

Lu Zheng glanced at him, thought for a few seconds, and said, “Thank you.”

Chang Qing was taken aback, “What are you thanking me for?”

Unable to hear his emotion, Lu Zheng said, “You saved Lu Hua’s life. If Qin Lang was holding Lu Hua, things would be much more complicated.”

Chang Qing didn’t take it to heart, “It was nothing.”

He’d never thought of using this to win Lu Zheng’s favor, so his reaction was mediocre.

Lu Zheng said again, “You let Lu Hua go. Didn’t you think about yourself?”

Chang Qing felt that there was a sense of blame in his tone. He couldn’t help but glance at him, then quickly lowered his gaze and said casually, “Yes, but they wanted to deal with you, so they probably wouldn’t do anything to me.”

Lu Zheng was silent. After a while, he said, “I’m glad you’re okay.”

Chang Qing always felt that he was a little strange. He glanced at him a few more times and without thinking much, asked him, “How is Qin Lang now? You shot him in the chest. Will he die? “

Lu Zheng asked instead, “You don’t want him to die?”

Chang Qing was surprised and said, “How is that possible? I just think it’s too cheap for him to die now.”

Lu Zheng leaned back in a slightly relaxed manner, “I avoided the vital points. He won’t die. The mountain was full of my men. He was caught as soon as he ran away. He was sent to the hospital to get his wound treated before he was sent to the police station for tea.1″

Chang Qing took a sip of water and said “oh”.

Lu Zheng turned to look at him and said in a low voice, “This matter is also my responsibility. I didn’t believe you.”

Chang Qing paused,”… Will you believe what I say now?

Lu Zheng: “I’ve already tasted the evil consequences of disbelief. After that, I think I’ll believe whatever you say after just a few minutes.”

Chang Qing said, “If you want to investigate Qin Lang. Go after his mother. His mother is your mother’s sister, which means that he’s your cousin. He has been resenting you for living better than him for the past twenty years. This hatred is his motive for committing the crime. He wants to kill all of you. When the time comes, it would be natural for him to take over the Lu family as your biological cousin. He did these things with this idea in mind.”

Lu Zheng lowered his eyes, hiding the mockery and gloom in his eyes, “Did he tell you all this?”

At this time, Chang Qing could confidently say, “Yes, he had a strong desire to talk, and he doesn’t seem to have many friends.”

Lu Zheng was amused by him. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. “Okay, his ambition is strong. I wonder if he can handle the consequences of his failure.”

Chang Qing let out a sigh and said, “You can arrange this. I don’t care.”

The villain was too scary. He didn’t want to see Qin Lang again.

Lu Zheng agreed. After the incident was over, neither of them had the energy to say anything more. After dinner, they went back to their bedrooms to wash, bathe and sleep.

Qin Lang failed this time. And with Lu Zheng in the back fanning the flames he was counter attacked at an exceptionally fast speed.

All major media news broke out the scandal of a popular and powerful actor kidnapping a rich second generation for ransom in order to make money. A few high-definition photos of Qin Lang being detained by the police were released. The eye-catching effect was great. In just half a day, it became a hot search topic, igniting the nerves of all netizens.

It was too late for Hongfeng, the entertainment company above Qin Lang, to get rid of their relationship. So how could it be possible to publicize it? So it took less than half a day for Qin Lang’s reputation to immediately become infamous, turning him into a rat detested by all2.

Even if there were some brain-dead fans who tried to argue for him, using the theory of him having some secret trouble. They couldn’t stop the collective mockery of the righteous. And soon they turned into shivering little quails.

Chang Qing thought of going to the police station to see how he reacted, but he didn’t want to see Qin Lang. So, it didn’t happen. Instead, Lu Hua went with high spirits and when she returned, she drilled into his arms.

“It’s terrible!” Lu Hua felt lingering fears. It was the middle of summer but Qin Lang made her feel ice cold, “Brother, do you know what that bastard said? I read him the insulting comments and he laughed! He actually laughed!”

“Ahhhhhh!” Lu Hua screamed at the top of her voice and twisted Chang Qing’s waist. “He’s so scary!”

Chang Qing was a little helpless, “You know he’s scary but you still went to see him?”

Lu Hua said angrily, “I just want to throw stones at someone who fell into a well3 But the well was so solid that he couldn’t feel any pain when he fell in it! What a person!”

Chang Qing was hugged so tightly by her that he felt a little uncomfortable. He patted Lu Hua and said, “Let go first.”

Lu Hua acted like a spoiled brat: “I won’t let go! I’m so scared! His smile really scared me!  He’s quite good-looking, but why is his smile so scary?”

Chang Qing asked, “Did he say anything?”

Lu Hua shook her head, “No, he just stared at me and smiled.”

Chang Qing was puzzled. He couldn’t figure out this guy’s brain circuit. In the original book, he had always been hardworking and had seemed like he really loved acting. Now that his career was ruined, it was amazing that he was able to laugh.

Qin Lang’s brain circuit couldn’t be understood by using common sense. Chang Qing didn’t want to spend any more energy on guessing. He looked down at the top of Lu Hua’s head and heard Lu Hua say in surprise: “Your waist is so thin.”

Huh?

Chang Qing laughed. Just as he was about to say something, everything went black. A hand had stretched out, picked up Lu Hua by her collar, and carried her away despite her screaming.

Chang Qing looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and felt a little amused. When he was about to turn back to his bedroom to rest, he received a call from Mr. Detective.
