The jeep slid down the street without a sound. It made a slight turn and entered a temporary parking space on the side of the street. It just so happened to exhaust its kinetic energy and stop. The lights inside the jeep lit up, illuminating the five people packed to the brim.
Aside from the fixed group of Luo Nan, Rui Wen, Qin Yikun, and Gao De, there was another person in the front passenger seat. This person was also a familiar face — — Cat Eyes.
She had temporarily joined the security team at Luo Nan's request. Nominally, it was to make it easier to look after Rui Wen. In reality … … it really was like this. It was just that there was a hidden condition: to better conceal some of Rui Wen's peculiarities, especially during the time when Luo Nan and she were temporarily separated.
Of course, Cat Eyes's own investigative abilities were well-known in the Xia City branch. She absolutely had the qualifications to join the security team. Qin Yikun and Gao De had no objections.
"Mr. Luo, don't worry. We will look after Rui Wen well." Qin Yikun displayed his usual sense of responsibility. Cat Eyes, who was truly in charge of this matter, curled her lips.
"Uh, okay … …" Luo Nan thought of the scene of Rui Wen killing Jin Tong in one strike when he said these words. Frankly speaking, it was quite difficult to look after a girl who could flash several hundred kilometers away at any time.
Luo Nan revealed a smiling face to the girl beside him. "Rui Wen?"
Rui Wen, who was sitting upright by the window, withdrew her gaze that was cast deep into the night sky. She looked back, her gaze clear, quiet, and silent. It had already been 24 hours since last night, and she had spoken no more than five sentences. She felt that she was even more reticent than she was in the underground fighting arena.
Luo Nan didn't mind. He spoke in a low voice, "We need to separate for a while. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time. You have the wristband and the HexaEar. My contact information is on them. If you really can't do it, you can come personally … … See that road outside? Follow it straight ahead. My house is around four hundred meters away. "
As long as Rui Wen had a clear location, she could come to his house as a guest in the blink of an eye. However, Qin Yikun didn't have a perceptual understanding of Rui Wen's abilities. He just thought that Luo Nan was worried that Rui Wen wasn't used to being alone. He said, "Our surveillance point is nearby. It's an independent apartment. The environment is pretty good … …"
Cat Eyes had been called to work overtime at the last minute. She still had a belly full of resentment right now. She couldn't help but mock and ridicule in her words. "I see that Rui Wen is quite easy.
Luo Nan glared at her, but in the end he didn't retort.
Luo Nan closed the car door with a slight bang and walked into the community.
Just as he said to Rui Wen, he would reach home in a few hundred meters. In the past, it was a place to rest and relax. In order to maintain this most precious function in the future, he now had to face challenges.
Luo Nan exercised his facial muscles a bit and permeated his soul strength into the HexaEar. He opened a document within the cloud storage space.
This was the magic weapon that Luo Nan used to fool his family. He discovered that Mo Ya had already sensed some inklings in the afternoon, so he specifically asked He Yueyin to help him make it.
Officer He's move was indeed extraordinary. There were approximately a dozen or so pages of relevant documents. Four plans were listed for Luo Nan to choose from. Each plan was detailed and thorough. Even the steps and the corresponding explanations were listed.
It was precisely because of this proposal document that Luo Nan's wishful thinking stopped. Otherwise, he really would have dared to directly bring Rui Wen back home – no matter how the situation developed, perhaps there would be no leeway to turn things around.
Luo Nan had already read through the proposal in detail many times. He had made a preliminary choice. However, He Yueyin bluntly stated at the beginning of the proposal: No proposal is perfect. If you want to convince and hide it from these two elders who already have their own views, then it will be a test of your ability to adapt to the situation … … The problem was that adaptability had never been Luo Nan's strong suit.
Luo Nan sighed. He confirmed that the document in the cloud was kept open from beginning to end. He thought for a bit and opened a group chat window. He chose to share the view and typed a line of words inside:
"If there's any unexpected situation, you guys help me handle it."
Cat Eyes was the first to reply: "It's rare to have such self-awareness. Things need to be done in the front. Otherwise, people will have to clean up after you."
"Then what are you cleaning up in the front?" The veteran train driver's bamboo pole spirit appeared in a flash. He pulled out a string of "666666". It could be said that practically everyone in this friend group exploded.
"Relax relax!"
"Take deep breaths."
"Clench your teeth."
"Shrink your anus and lift your hips."
After a long string of messages, someone finally broke the group: "Don't forget to start with three years, Cat Eyes."
Luo Nan walked into the courtyard of his home under the noisy background of the friend group. The AI housekeeper detected his existence through a sensor and timely said: "Luo Nan, after 38 hours, welcome home."
Luo Nan's eyelids twitched. They just changed it. Who used this setting?
"Ding dong. Our philanthropist is back." Mo Ya greeted him from the living room as Luo Nan entered the house to change his shoes.
The outside of the house was freezing cold, but the inside of the house was as warm as spring. Mo Ya dressed very casually at home. She wore a loose striped casual outfit, and then she played with the style of not wearing anything underneath. Her snow white long legs were practically completely exposed. She lay on the sofa with her long legs resting on the armrest of the sofa. She even used a knife to cut apples and sent them piece by piece into her mouth. She looked quite carefree.
"Oh oh, the welfare! Boss Luo, I remember that your sister is still single right now. Do you mind if I join the group of pursuers? "
A notification popped up in the group: Bamboo Pole has been muted by administrator Luo Nan for one minute.
Luo Nan's gaze turned to the bottom of the sofa after completing the operation. He looked at Mo Peng, who had a bitter expression on his face as he supported himself with a tablet.
It was clear that this little fatty had no choice but to succumb to his sister's tyrannical power. He was almost at his limit right now. Not only was he drenched in sweat, but his butt was almost over the sofa. Then Mo Ya kicked him down without a trace of politeness.
"Aiyo, my God."
"Keep going. You dared to sell my private photos. Why don't you go to heaven?"
Mo Peng lay on the carpet like a pig looking for death. He wouldn't budge no matter what. He even bickered with his sister: "That's not selling. That's just gifting. Then there's reciprocation … … This is how friendships develop. Luo Nan, you be the judge. I've already stressed it a hundred times. That's a girl, a girl, a girl. Mo Ya still won't let it go. Speaking of which, what are you afraid of! "
"Hahahaha, this little fatty is quite cute. Yingying, do you want him?"
Bamboo Pole was muted by administrator Zhang Yingying for ten minutes.
Luo Nan's nerves had been stretched taut like a bow, but now he had to loosen up. Plus, he didn't have to face his aunt and uncle right away. This made him feel a bit relaxed.
Luo Nan sat on the sofa and let out a breath. He asked despite knowing the answer: "Where's Aunt and the others?"
Mo Ya finished eating the apple and threw the core into the trash can. She played with the fruit knife in her hand. She responded lazily: "They're in the study upstairs. They're having a board of directors meeting right now. They'll have a staff meeting after they've decided on a plan. "
Mo Peng secretly crawled a bit further away. He pulled some distance from Mo Ya and used Luo Nan as a shield. Only then did he struggle to get up. He panted as he leaned against Luo Nan's side and asked: "I say, I heard that your love exploded. In order to take care of a street kid, you accompanied him to the orphanage for an entire night?"
"Yeah … …"
"I never saw it before. Speaking of which, is it a boy or a girl? You don't have any ideas right? "
"Yeah yeah, we want to know too." A group of friends randomly entered the group.
Luo Nan rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he didn't need to exhaust his brain power for this sort of senseless matter. He knew that the two elders had already come downstairs after hearing the AI housekeeper's report.
His aunt's voice came from the staircase in the next moment: "How come you're back so late?"
It was the same sort of concern that seemed normal, but Luo Nan raised his spirits. He told his first lie of the night in earnest: "I finished helping that child with the procedures, and then I invited a few helper friends to a meal."
The two elders walked into the living room as they spoke and sat on the sofa. The semi-circular sofa layout just happened to accommodate a family of five. The atmosphere of a family meeting was immediately present.
As the head of the family, Mo Haihang gave Luo Nan a few words of advice: "The state of emergency hasn't been lifted yet. Don't take it lightly. This sort of vicious incident where over a hundred people died in a single night is rarely seen in the entire world, let alone Xia City. If I didn't hear from Mo Ya that your friends are professional security circles, your aunt would have gone outside to bring you back! "
Luo Nan responded obediently and took the opportunity to explain a few words, laying the groundwork: "After I learned martial arts from Gym Master Xiu, I entered that circle. Many of my peers are in the security industry. Their personalities aren't bad."
Mo Ya occupied the sofa all by herself. She felt quite uncomfortable. Luo Shuqing glared at her, but Mo Ya pretended not to see it. She spoke lazily: "You've entered the circle. Let's not talk about other things, but you've done things more efficiently. You've learned the skill of acting first and reporting later. Aren't you going to explain it to everyone? "
"You're talking about Rui Wen?" Luo Nan lied with his eyes wide open. "I'm just helping her with the procedures and giving her a legal identity. What do you mean acting first and reporting later? Of course, it would be better if I could help her to the end. "
Mo Ya laughed: "How do you want to help her? That kid is really pitiful, but there are millions and millions of vagrants in the world. Are you going to help all of them? "
Mo Ya was doubtful from beginning to end, but she was actually paving the way for Luo Nan with every word. She saved Luo Nan the unnecessary explanation and made it easier for Luo Nan to get straight to the point.
Luo Nan licked his lips. He secretly thanked Mo Ya and took this opportunity:
"Rui Wen isn't a vagrant."
His words set the tone. Luo Nan stood up and walked over to Mrs. Luo Shuqing's side with the loose-leaf notebook. He flipped to the flexible screen page and lit up the interface. He turned on the player and spoke in a low voice: "Please take a look at this."
Luo Shuqing and her husband locked gazes and took the notebook. An image had already appeared on the screen at this time. There was also noise in the background. This was the result of Luo Nan deliberately turning the volume to the maximum.
The image was shaky at first. It wasn't clear, but there was a sharp DJ-like voice that suddenly rose up: "Look. This kid is as thin as a hemp stick. She's the most hateful lucky person in the fighting arena. She's the plunderer who harvests gambling money … … Rui Wen!"
The sound of cursing mixed in the background. It was the wanton venting of hundreds and thousands of spectators. They had all lost large amounts of wealth in the previous matches. They hated that damned skinny kid who didn't die to the bone.
"She lived through three life and death battles. She made countless people suffer, and she helped those lucky bastards! But today, she's going to face Ares, who has already won ninety-seven matches. Our undefeated war god! There's no doubt that this is a deliberately arranged revenge. It's destined to be a bloody slaughter. Let's cheer, let's celebrate, and embrace the archetype of death! "
Luo Nan's voice cut in faintly amidst the tsunami-like cheers: "This is the brother who has always been protecting her … …"
