y these places are the safest for him.""Home..." Fu Xiaoyao whispered the two words, her eyes flickering with a sharp glint.A few seconds later, she regained her composure and slightly raised her chin...Lu Hanchuan glared coldly at the woman who was dodging his eyes, "Where did you go"

"I... I went for a walk." Qi Ya managed a strained smile in response.

A trace of mockery flashed in Lu Hanchuan's eyes.

Does this woman think he's an idiot

"Didn't I tell you, you can stay here, but you can't step out Did you just ignore what I said" Lu Hanchuan stood up and walked in front of Qi Ya.

Qi Ya took a step back, "No no, I remember it all, I just went out to take care of some things, so..."

"What do you smell like" Lu Hanchuan interrupted her. He had smelled something unusual when he got close to her.

Qi Ya heard his words, raised her arm and smelled it, "It doesn't smell like anything, does it"

"Sir, she's lying! She smells of gasoline!" Auntie Song had also come over at some point and leaned close to Qi Ya, sniffing the air.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered, "Gasoline How did you get that smell on you, what have you been doing"

Qi Ya didn't expect that she still smelled of gasoline, and it had been noticed. She was so frightened her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

But in order not to arouse suspicion, she hurriedly adjusted her expression and emotions, waving her hand and saying: "Didn't I just say I went out for a walk, and then the car ran out of gas, so I went to the gas station to refuel. It should be that time when I got the smell."

"Well, I've never heard of that. Going to a gas station for refueling and smelling of gasoline Didn't you fill up yourself" Aunt Song sarcastically remarked.

Qi Ya was furious.

This old woman, she's deliberately targeting her, isn't she

Wait and see, she'll get her revenge on this old woman eventually!

"No, but I came into contact with the gas station workers, and they smelled of gasoline," she replied softly, though inwardly she swore silently.

"You're saying they infected you" Aunt Song rolled her eyes.

Qi Ya's expression twisted for a moment, she really wanted to hit this old woman.

"Alright, let's put the petrol issue aside for now." Lu Hanchuan spoke up, interrupting the argument between the elder and the younger. His deep eyes gazed at Qi Ya, as if trying to see through her completely, "How did you meet Shi Mo"

"Shi Mo" Qi Ya frowned, puzzled. "Han Chuan, who is Shi Mo"

That name sounds familiar.

"Don't you know"

"I don't know!" Qi Ya shook her head.

Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze deepening as he looked at her, as if trying to discern whether she truly didn't recognize him or was lying.

But in the end, it seems to be the former.

She really doesn't know!

"I don't know, forget it." Lu Hanchuan murmured softly.

Since this woman doesn't recognize Shi Mo, he has nothing more to ask her.

To find out how Shi Mo met Qi Ya and what their history is, just look at Qiao Mu's investigation results.

"Where is her room" Lu Hanchuan turned around, no longer paying attention to Qi Ya, and asked Aunt Song.

Aunt Song pointed upstairs, "It's next to your and Mrs. Li's room."

It's actually that!

Lu Hanchuan frowned, his brows knitting together into a crease. "Don't let her live there," he said, his voice laced with displeasure. "That's not where she belongs."

That room was left for him and Fu Xiaoyao's children.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Song's eyes lit up with joy. "Then I'll go pack her things and move her to another room."

"Hmm." Lu Hankan nodded. "Let her stay on the first floor."

Aunt Song was even happier now, “Alright, the first floor is perfect. That’s where she should live.”

The first floor is the servant's quarters, worse than hers. Her rooms are on the second floor in the guest wing, much larger than the servant's quarters.

Thinking about it, Aunt Song was so excited that she ran upstairs, her steps quick and lively. Her speed didn't look like someone her age at all.

Qi Ya listened as Lu Hanchuan so easily dismissed her from the room she wanted to stay in and sent her to the servant's quarters. She felt very uncomfortable, but didn't dare say anything.

She knew her current standing in his heart was no longer the same as before, where a single word from her could make him give everything.

And now that it's a crucial time, she can't afford to upset him. So even if she's unhappy about living in the servants' quarters, she can only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. She'll wait until later, until after she's brought him down. Then she can live wherever she wants.

Thus, Qi Ya lowered her head and went to the maid's room, feeling wronged.

At this time, Qiao Mu came in from outside holding a document.

"Mr. Lu."

"Found it" Lu Hanchuan sat back on the sofa.

Joe nodded. “I found out, General Shi and Qi Ya are not related, they actually don’t know each other. But they should have heard of each other. Qi Ya heard of General Shi as the heir to the overseas Shi family, while General Shi heard of Qi Ya as all kinds of negative things.”

"Not a valuable result at all." Lu Hanzhan was obviously unsatisfied with the outcome of this investigation.

He wanted to know why Shi Mo suddenly brought up Qi Ya and specifically called him.

"I've touched my nose, " Qiao Mu said, "There's no way, this is what the investigation found, and it's accurate."

"Alright, let's put that aside for now. What's in the document you brought" Lu Hanchuan asked, looking at the file he had brought.

Shi Mo handed the file to her with both hands. "This is about the bomb. The investigation results are out. It was arranged by Tang Shan. He bought it through illegal channels abroad and smuggled it in using a fishing boat."

"A fishing boat" Lu Hanchuan sneered, "He really went through a lot of trouble."

“It’s a pity he missed a step,” Qiao Mu sighed. “He installed the bomb, intending to blow us all up, but he didn’t have precognition and didn’t know how long it would take to activate it. He could only estimate a rough time. He hung Mrs. Lu and Qi Ya on the platform and forced Mr. Lu to make a choice. It was probably to delay time. It’s a pity…”

"Unfortunately, he didn't anticipate that we would have snipers waiting to eliminate him beforehand." Lu Hanchuan closed the file and tossed it aside, saying coldly.

Jo agreed, "That's right, but just as we were about to leave, the bomb went off. Thankfully, we managed to escape in time. It was just..."

At this point, Qiao Mu suddenly realized he had spoken the wrong words. He quickly shut his mouth and looked at Lu Hannan's expression.

Seeing Lu Hanchuan's expression turn icy, he shivered, wishing he could slap himself.

Why bring up that topic now It's like someone poked the wrong hornet's nest.

Now, mentioning Madam is taboo. He just blurted it out like that.

"That... Mr. Lu, there's one more thing that's strange." Qiao Mu hurriedly changed the subject.

Lu Hanchuan looked up at him, "What's the matter"

“It’s about Mr. Shi, he’s returning home today and his flight was scheduled for the afternoon, but for some reason, he had someone cancel it before going to the airport. Also, Aunt Song said she saw Mr. Shi today near our villa. Mr. Shi got out of the car specifically to greet Aunt Song, saying there were surprises at home.” Qiao Mu replied.

"Surprise" Lu Hanchuan was only interested in these two words, "What surprise"

喬木攤開雙手，“我問過宋姨，宋姨說她並冇有看到驚喜，然後宋姨就去尋找時總了，時總聽完冇有驚喜，臉色就變了，當場就開車走了。”

"Is that so." Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyelids and asked, "Where is Shi Mo now"

He felt it was necessary to meet Shi Mo.

"I don't know. When you asked me to check about Qi Ya, I also checked on Shi Zong's current location, but I couldn't find it. It seems like he intentionally erased his tracks." Qiao Mu said.

Lu Hanchuan snorted, "Pretty mysterious."

It seems that the secret Shi Mok is talking about isn't simple at all. What exactly is itstent that Fu Xiaoyao could only give up and go along with him.I hope he really can.As the pirate ship gradually filled with people, the staff started up the machine.As the pirate ship began to tilt,...
