Chapter 2634: The Item Was Missing!
Every time she laid eyes on Shen Hao’s face, she felt an overwhelming desire to kill him, to make him suffer the pain she had endured.
But this Lu Yueyun looked at Li Yuzhi without any emotion, only a sense of unfamiliarity and indifference.
Lu Junning shook her head. Lu Yueyun probably hadn’t been reborn.
Observing Lu Junning’s head shake, Shen Yichen inquired, “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing much. I’m just pondering why the other party decided to start the fire,” Lu Junning replied, her gaze fixed on the extremely anxious Lu Yuanfan.
“It’s probably to divert attention,” Shen Yichen replied.
After about an hour of firefighting, the fire was brought under control and slowly extinguished.
Lu Yuanfan’s study had been reduced to charred remains, emitting black smoke.
Lu Yuanfan hurriedly rushed in, pushing open the pitch-black wooden door and uncovering the floor tile behind it. He discovered that the item was missing.
Lu Yuanfan immediately froze, his face turning pale.
Where was it? Where did it go?
Lu Yuanfan trembled all over. If that thing fell into the hands of outsiders, the entire Lu residence would be in trouble.
The Lu household would truly be ruined.
“Find out who started the fire,” Lu Yuanfan shouted loudly as he emerged from the study covered in black soot, his face incredibly pale.
Ning Shu kept her head down and remained silent, allowing Lu Yuanfan to vent his anger.
“Third Sister, if you see anyone suspicious, remember to tell me and Father,” Lu Junning approached Ning Shu and said.
Ning Shu nodded. “I understand, Second Sister. I’ll go back to my room now.”
Lu Junning nodded. “If there’s anything, remember to tell me.”
Ning Shu bowed and turned to leave.
“I will have people keep an eye on her. If the item is really with her, we will definitely get it back,” Shen Yichen said.
Lu Junning turned around to look at Shen Yichen. “You don’t have to do these things for me. This is my own matter and has nothing to do with you. Don’t think that I will be grateful just because you do these things for me.”
Shen Yichen furrowed his brow. “I am willing to do things for you. It’s my own matter and has nothing to do with you. I am willing to do it, whether you accept it or not is your own business.”
Lu Junning didn’t know what to say, so she simply walked away.
Ning Shu returned to her own room, which had already been tidied up by Yuan Xiang.
Yuan Xiang asked Ning Shu, “Miss, how are things?”
Ning Shu sat down and sipped her tea. “The fire has been put out, but the study is completely ruined.”
“Now Master will definitely be angry.”
Lu Yuanfan had a bad temper and might resort to violence when angered.
Ning Shu said, “You should also rest. It will be a while before dawn.”
“I’d rather stay with Miss. I heard that assassins have infiltrated the mansion, and I’m afraid something might happen to you,” Yuan Xiang said.
“More like you’re the one who’s afraid, right?”
“Miss…”
Ning Shu allowed Yuan Xiang to stay with her.
The item that was still tucked in her chest must be destroyed. Keeping it on her could expose her at any moment.
Facing Lu Junning directly, Ning Shu felt that her chances of winning were slim, so she could only calculate secretly.
Lu Junning had the powerful general’s residence backing her, and now there was also Prince Chen, who was a member of the royal family.
Damn it.
