Lu Yan had made up his mind not to leave and pretended to be ignorant, asking, “Uncle Zhou, I’m curious. What did the Mei family do to make you personally lead your team to investigate?”
Zhou Guo coldly said, “We received a report stating that Miss Mei Shu of the Mei family stole someone else’s hairpin. The evidence is conclusive, and there are witnesses to testify. Therefore, we applied for a search warrant.”
“I didn’t expect Uncle Zhou to bother with such a small matter.” Lu Yan sarcastically smiled.
Zhou Guo frowned, his tone becoming more severe, “Lu Yan! This is none of your business. Take your people downstairs! Don’t interfere with our investigation!”
“Alright.” Lu Yan hugged Mei He’s shoulder and laughed arrogantly. “Of course, 1 won’t interfere with Uncle Zhou’s affairs. You go ahead, we won’t disturb you.”
With that, Lu Yan led Mei He downstairs.
During this time, Mei He was still worried and tried to turn his head back, but he couldn’t resist Lu Yan’s strength and was forced to sit on the sofa downstairs.
Zhou Guo, for some reason, assigned another police officer to watch the two of them. It seemed that Zhou Guo even suspected Lu Yan this time.
The people upstairs made quite a commotion during the search.
Mei He was a bit scared, his round eyes staring fixedly at the upper floor, his knuckles turning white.
Lu Yan comfortingly held his hand, “Don’t worry, your brothers will be back soon. Don’t be afraid; I’m here.”
Mei He nodded cautiously, trembling.
Just as he finished speaking, Mei Feng rushed in from outside.
Seeing Mei He sitting peacefully in the living room, Mei Feng’s anxious heart finally settled.
“Xiao He, are you okay?” Mei Feng walked quickly, examining Mei He from top to bottom. After he confirmed that Mei He was fine, he thanked Lu Yan.
Lu Yan shook his arm, gesturing with his eyes toward the police officers beside them, indicating that this was not the place to talk.
Mei Feng immediately understood.
He patted Mei He’s shoulder, asking him to sit on the sofa and wait first, then walked upstairs.
On the third floor.
Zhou Guo and his team thoroughly searched Mei Shu’s room. Every possible hiding place was checked, but they found nothing.
“Captain, nothing here.”
Zhou Guo’s face darkened, looking at the police officer who reported to him. “Have you searched the other rooms as well?”
“We’ve searched all of them, but found nothing.” The officer replied seriously.
Zhou Guo pondered for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed another person standing nearby and turned his sharp gaze toward him. “I didn’t expect the young master to come back so quickly. Your information source works well.”
Mei Feng’s eyes showed anger. “You search my house so blatantly, accusing my sister of stealing something. If someone doesn’t know, they would think my family has committed some serious crime, hiding military supplies!”
Zhou Guo smiled sarcastically, “We’re just doing our job. Please cooperate.”
“Isn’t our cooperation enough? What did you find? My sister is still at the banquet. Do you want to go and arrest her now?” Mei Feng confronted him without showing weakness.
After watching for a while, cracks appeared in Zhou Guo’s icy expression. He walked slowly toward Mei Feng, patting his shoulder with a smile, “Young man, you have courage. You must have a bright future. Sorry for disturbing you this time. If there’s a need, we will visit again. Goodbye.”
“Feel free to leave.” Mei Feng turned sideways, avoiding his touch expressionlessly.
Zhou Guo didn’t mind, withdrew his hand, and said to the police officer behind him, “Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
The group of people came with a strong momentum, and now they left together the same way.
Mei Feng’s tense shoulders finally relaxed.
Walking into the living room, the originally striding Zhou Guo suddenly slowed down. Fie signaled to a police officer behind him.
The man immediately understood, and before Lu Yan could react, he began searching Lu Yan’s body. However, the result was still nothing.
“I’m truly sorry, Ah Yan.” Zhou Guo raised his hand to let the man step back and apologized to Lu Yan without any guilt. “I didn’t want to involve you in this matter, so we just conducted a routine check. Now that your suspicion has been ruled out, if you’re unhappy, you can come to my house another day. Bring Lili along too.”
“No need.” Lu Yan’s eyes were already cold enough to produce ice chips. “Uncle Zhou, since you’ve checked everything you need to check, please leave. I’m not familiar with Zhou Li, and there’s no need for us to visit your home together.”
Zhou Guo smiled casually, leading his team to leave.
Mei Feng hurriedly came over, asking, “All Yan, are you okay just now?”
“I’m fine. I was just worried that Xiao He might be scared.” Lu Yan said, tunring his head and looking at Mei He, who was now looking at him with the same worried eyes.
Lu Yan smiled contentedly, “It seems that Xiao He is much stronger than I imagined..”
