An overview of dozens of surveillance camera footage was reflected on the virtual screen and the three of them looked at it together.
After looking at it for some time, they saw several individuals appearing near the backyard around ten minutes or so after the explosion.
At the sight of these individuals Xiang Shaoqing could not help but breathe a sigh of relief deep down inside.
As long as someone did indeed come over, it’s good.
However, a second after he relaxed, he saw the group of people who wanted to climb over the wall suddenly convulse at the same time as soon as they approached the wall. Following that, they fled rapidly as though they had seen a ghost.
Just then, Zi Yi’s voice sounded. “These people haven’t even escaped more than a kilometer away at most and you haven’t found them even after such a long time? Are you just here for a show?”
Xiang Shaoqing’s expression alternated between black and red. He looked at Zi Yi grimly. “What do you mean by that?”
“I meant what I said, literally.” Zi Yi quickly tapped on the virtual screen several times and soon, the escape route of those people surfaced. “These people wanted to sneak into our house after the explosion and since you’ve brought so many people along for the search, why weren’t you able to find them? Most importantly, you have been targeting my place. Aren’t you being intentional?”
Xiang Shaoqing angrily said, “Miss Zi, please do not make random accusations!”
Zi Yi sneered and chased him away. “We are going to sleep now. Please leave.”
Xiang Shaoqing glared at her for a few seconds before he turned around and was about to head outside.
Lu Jingye’s voice sounded from behind. “If the data found in my study room were to be leaked out, Xiang Shaoqing, I will make you regret it.”
Xiang Shaoqing clenched his hand into a fist and headed downstairs without saying a single thing.
After he left, Zi Yi put away the virtual screen and said to Lu Jingye, “Those people must be trying to take the clone away.”
“Mhmm.” Lu Jingye had also guessed that it was the case. “Xiang Shaoqing belongs to the other faction and he’s being made use of.”
The both of them walked down the stairs as they conversed.
Second Master Lu and Mr. Huang were still waiting downstairs.
Zi Yi called out to Second Master Lu, “Father.”
Second Master Lu asked, “Did someone come in?”
“Yes.” Zi Yi said, “They wanted to enter through the courtyard but they were frightened away by the defense system outside.”
Mr. Huang was a little surprised. “Since that’s the case, why didn’t you tell that to Xiang Shaoqing earlier? That person is a little hard headed and he won’t leave unless he sees the evidence.”
“If someone tries to enter from outside, we would not sense anything when the defense system takes care of them. It was only because I checked the surveillance earlier, that is how we knew.”
Mr. Huang praised her. “Not bad. In that case, if someone tries to sneak inside in the middle of the night, you won’t have to wake up to take care of those people.”
Zi Yi nodded her head.
Second Master Lu asked, “Where did those people go?”
Lu Jingye mentioned a direction.
Second Master Lu said to Mr. Huang, “Let’s go and have a look. Those people came here right after the explosion and this must have been premeditated in advance.”
Mr. Huang’s expression instantly turned grim and he nodded. “Let’s go.”
Having said that, both of them left.
The next morning, Second Master Lu called Lu Jingye to tell him about what happened last night.
Lu Jingye conveyed this to Zi Yi.
“They are indeed people who wanted to bring the clone away. They wanted to sneak into our house by creating chaos.”
“Therefore that Xiang Shaoqing who came over last night is suspicious?”
“He’s not involved. It’s the guards under his command.” Lu Jingye said, “The higher ups have already found out through an investigation. It’s related to the embassy of Country A. There’s no need for us to interfere anymore. Father and the rest will take care of this.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. She thought for a moment and said to Lu Jingye, “Let’s go and visit Auntie Luo this morning.”
“Ok.”
Luo Qingning had a serious fall that day and she was lying on the bed without being able to move at all. She had also seemed to have lost some weight.
Luo Qian and Luo Ran were accompanying right next to her.
When both of them saw Lu Jingye and Zi Yi walking in, they were a little surprised.
“Jingye, Yiyi, why have you come?”
Zi Yi looked at Luo Qian and saw that her dark circles were rather deep, and her complexion was also pale. It was obvious that she had suffered greatly these few days.
The little robot obediently stood next to Luo Qian and Luo Qian subconsciously stroked her head.
Lu Jingye said, “We are here to visit Auntie Luo.”
Following that, he asked Luo Qingning, “Auntie Luo, how are you feeling right now?”
Luo Qingning said with a smile, “I feel better.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head and said a few more words of concern before asking Luo Qian to go outside.
Both of them headed to the end of the corridor where Luo Qian’s tightly stretched nerves finally loosened as she revealed a sad expression.
Lu Jingye said, “You have to stay strong. Auntie Luo still needs you.”
Luo Qian nodded her head and tried to keep her tears from spilling out. She asked, “Jingye, you guys should know more than I do. The lab that Borean works at, what do they use the clones for? Why do they kill the original person after creating the clones?”
Lu Jingye only told her briefly. “Every country has a secret laboratory. Some countries are trying to make themselves stronger, while some countries do so to conquer the whole world.”
Luo Qian was not an idiot. After she heard that, she immediately understood the nature of the laboratory. She said with a sneer, “Those people from Country A have always been ambitious. No wonder they are doing this.”
Speaking of this, traces of hatred flashed past her eyes.
She continued asking, “Do people in the laboratory have holidays?”
“Yes, but it cannot really be considered as a holiday.” Lu Jingye said, “When they come out, they will have various types of missions on hand.”
What Lu Jingye did not tell her was, Country A has been trying to destroy the Lu Family. It was normal for them to have made plans around her as early as a few years ago.
After all, they were his Mother’s friends and there would be a day where they would come in handy.
The hatred in Luo Qian’s eyes intensified after hearing Lu Jingye’s affirmative answer.
She then whispered in a low voice, “Boren’s mission was to get married and have a child. Following that, he had to clone his child and then kill them afterwards?”
“Sort of.”
Luo Qian clenched her fists and made a decision deep down inside.
Inside the ward.
Luo Qingning looked at Luo Ran who was standing there obediently without making a ruckus and said to Zi Yi with a smile, “Our Ranran has suddenly become obedient after seeing me in the hospital. She still loves and cares for her grandma very much.”
Luo Ran walked to Luo Qingning’s side and pulled her hand as she acted spoiled. “Granny.”
The smile on Luo Qingning’s face deepend. “Yes, Granny’s little darling~”
Zi Yi looked at Luo Qingning’s expression and said with a smile, “Therefore, Auntie Luo you have to get well soon so that you can take Ranran around to play. After you arrived in the capital, you guys haven’t gone sightseeing or out to play.”
Luo Qingning nodded her head. “That’s right. We originally came here to bring Ranran around to check out the scenery here. After I’ve recovered, we’ll bring her around to sightsee.”
After they chatted for a short while, Lu Jingye and Luo Qian came in.
Lu Jingye asked Luo Qingning, “Auntie Luo, do you wish to stay at the hospital or have a doctor and some nurses go back home with you instead?”
“Can I leave the hospital?”
“Yes.”
“That’s great. It’s fine for an adult like me to stay in the hospital, but Ranran is still young and it’s not good for her to stay here for a prolonged period of time. If I can go home, I will definitely want to do so.”
Since Luo Qingning had said so, Lu Jingye got his men to help her with the discharge formalities. At the same time, he invited professional doctors and nurses to go home with them.
