When Old Zhu saw Lu Jingzhi walk out, he quickly got out of the car.

“Young Master, are you leaving already?”

Lu Jingzhi did not bother to correct his manner of address.

“I’m going home.”

Old Zhu hurriedly opened the back door.

“Let me send you back.”

Lu Jingzhi shook his head, “There’s no need.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a black limousine passed Old Zhu’s car and came to a stop in front of Lu Jingzhi.

The chauffeur got out of the driver’s seat, and opened the door for Lu Jingzhi.

After taking a couple of steps, Lu Jingzhi turned around and waved at an astonished Old Zhu. “Goodbye.”

Old Zhu subconsciously raised his hand to wave goodbye to him. He watched as Lu Jingzhi got into the limousine, and it drove away slowly.

When Old Zhu came to his senses, he realized that he had forgotten to ask who called the car for Lu Jingzhi.

There was a ‘Tujing’ logo on the car.

Old Zhu quickly noted down the car’s license plate number; after all, he was still a child. In a while, he would call Lu Ning to check if Lu Jingzhi had arrived home.

It was already eight o’clock in the evening when Lu Ning received the call. As she had just started working again, her boss thoughtfully let her get off work early.

Lu Ning happened to be going home to get her things. On the way back, she received the call from Old Zhu.

“Young Mistress, did Young Master Jingzhi reach home?”

Lu Ning was puzzled. “Jingzhi? I haven’t gone home yet. Have you met him?”

Old Zhu was also startled. “He didn’t tell you? He had an appointment with the Young Mistress today?”

After she thought for a moment, Lu Ning understood.

When Lu Jingzhi said that he was going to his classmate’s house, it’s probably to meet Lb Yue’an; he lied because he’s afraid ourparents would overthink it.

“I understand. Old Zhu, is your son better?”

Old Zhu was deeply touched when he heard that. “Thank you, Young Mistress. Our situation has stabilized, my loans have been paid, and I can afford to do a few more jobs to pay the medical bills. Please, you don’t have to transfer money to me anymore; your situation isn’t that good either.”

Lu Ning smiled nonchalantly. “It’s fine, don’t worry about me. It’s good that your situation has become more stable. Remember to call me if anything happens.”

“Alright, Young Mistress. Thank you.”

Lu Ning hung up, and in a couple minutes she received a call from Shen Yunci.

“Ning’ning, your Daddy and I are going back late tonight. Did our Little Darling call you? Can I trouble you to pick him up?”

Lu Ning was afraid that they would be worried, so she said, “I’ve called him, he said that he’s already home. I happened to get off work early so I’m going home to take a look. I’ll call you back.”

“Okay. Thank you, dear.”

“You’re welcome, Mommy.”

After hanging up, Lu Ning continued walking into the neighborhood.

She seemed to sense something, and turned her head to see behind her.

A black Volkswagen appeared to have stopped not far away.

Lu Ning frowned, and continued walking until she reached the entrance of the neighborhood. No cars could enter here. “Ning’ning, you’re back so early today.”

“Yes, I’m earlier today, Grandpa Qin.”

Grandpa Qin smiled kindly and nodded. “Your brother is home.”

Lu Ning sighed in relief.

“Okay, I’ll head home too, Grandpa Qin.”

“Go on, go on.”

Lu Ning walked home, and unlocked the door without calling for Lu Jingzhi. After entering, she put her things away and looked around the living room. No one was there.

“Jingzhi? Jingzhi?”

She called out twice, but no one answered.

Lu Ning did not think too much about it and walked towards the bedrooms.

She knocked on Lu Jingzhi’s door.

“Jingzhi, are you there? Jingzhi?”

Lu Ning did not hear anything; it was terrifyingly quiet.

Lu Ning knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. She could not help but open the door with a sense of apprehension.

“Jingzhi, I’m coming in..

When she pushed the door open, Lu Ning was shocked by the scene before her…
