Chapter 15
You Did It, Right?
Lu Ning was bemused.
Didn’t he leave the country? Why was he back so soon?
That day at the airport, Lu Ning caught a glimpse of the plane ticket in Chu Ting’s hand.
As she was thinking, the ferris wheel slowly moved. Lu Ning returned her gaze to Lu Jingzhi.
“Sister, I won’t talk to strangers in the future. Don’t worry.”
Looking at his big eyes, Lu Ning’s heart almost melted. How could she reprimand him?
She looked at him with a gentle expression. “It’s not that I don’t want you to interact with other people, but you have to be more vigilant. Sometimes, there’s bad people who will target you, you look weak after all. I know you’re smart, I’m just reminding you.”
Lu Jingzhi nodded obediently.

Huo Jinyan frowned as he watched the ferris wheel moving slowly. He looked at the carriages trying to find anyone suspicious, but after searching for a long time he realized they were either children or high school students. None of them looked like Z.
Chu Ting’s forehead was covered in sweat. The place is clearly here!
“Boss, look, it’s really here. It hasn’t moved, Z should be nearby.”
Chu Ting looked up at the rising ferris wheel, and was about to scrutinize each of them to see if there were anyone suspicious when he spotted a familiar figure.
“Eh? Isn’t that Miss Lu?”
Huo Jinyan reflexively looked up and saw Lu Ning smiling in the carriage. This was the first time he had seen her smile.
There was a child sitting opposite her.
Huo Jinyan seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
“The location we were just at, was she there too?”
Chu Ting nodded. They had followed Z’s signal all the way here, and momentarily before they had tracked him all the way to the bathroom when the signal had cut off. Two minutes later, when it reappeared, they happened to see Lu Ning and Lù Chuan talking.
Huo Jinyan’s gaze shifted from Lu Jingzhi’s back to Lu Ning’s face, and his eyes darkened…
Huo Jinyan did not look away until the carriage reached a height where he could not see Lu Ning’s face clearly anymore.
Chu Ting seemed to understand what Huo Jinyan meant, and was a little surprised. “President Huo, you suspect Miss Lu might be…”
He kept quiet and did not speak his mind immediately.
Huo Jinyan turned around and walked away. “I don’t believe in coincidences. Watch her closely.”
“Understood!”
He did not believe it could be a coincidence, for her to appear at the signal’s location every time. However, before everything was confirmed, he would not jump to conclusions so hastily.
Whether Lu Ning was Z or otherwise, remained to be seen.

Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi rose all the way to the top. At the center-most point, everything looked small from that height.
Lu Ning looked at the clear, bright sky outside the glass. Without looking back, she said softly, “Jingzhi, those games you gave me, you made them, right?”
Lu Jingzhi had been looking at his sister’s eyelashes that were glimmering under the sunlight when he was taken aback by her question.
The usually calm child suddenly did not know what to say, and panicked.
He had been doing that at home for so many years, and his parents and brothers had never noticed. Yet, Sister had only arrived for a day and she had already noticed?
Or is she only guessing? Is it a trick?
Lu Jingzhi was about to say that it was from someone else when he looked up and met Lu Ning’s gaze.
Lu Ning stared straight at him. Her eyes were seemingly saying,
don’t lie, I know everything
.
Lu Jingzhi did not say a word under her gaze, nor did he move. He seemed to be frozen.
Lu Ning could not help but laugh when she saw him like this. It was quite refreshing to see him acting like this when he usually seemed so mature.
“Let me introduce you to a teacher.”
