After swallowing the poison, the man was foaming at the mouth and his eyes had rolled backwards.

Zi Yi quickly took action and a few silver needles were inserted into his acupuncture points, preventing the poison from spreading around.

She then said, “Lay him down flat. He won’t die for the time being.”

She then turned to look at Ouyang Hui who was now in her car.

Ouyang Hui still had the same appearance as if she was watching a show.

Zi Yi turned away and said to Lu Jingye, “It can’t be a coincidence for Ouyang Hui to appear here at the same time this happened. However, she’s certainly not the one who did it. Or perhaps she is confident that we won’t be able to find any evidence that links this to her.”

Lu Jingye responded with a nod.

Just then, Ouyang Hui rolled down her window and stretched out her head to ask, “Can I go now?”

She then taunted them. “Lu Jingye, don’t think that the capital is under your Lu Family. I have connected the black box in my car to the public security headquarters and if you dare to retain me here, let’s see who will win.”

Lu Jingye and Zi Yi were indifferent to Ouyang Hui’s clamor.

Just then, Dou Zerui walked over and asked in a low voice, “Cousin, did that woman do this?”

Lu Jingye’s phone rang at this moment. He took out his phone and glanced at it before answering Dou Zerui, “We are not sure.”

He then motioned for the bodyguards to let her go.

The moment Ouyang Hui’s car was allowed to leave, it drove away.

After the car left, Dou Yue’er who was seated in the car had also alighted.

She fearfully looked at the man lying there like a dead man and hid behind Dou Xiangling. “Is this man already dead? If he dies, would someone call the police and arrest us?”

The other Dou Family members were also a little worried if the man was dead.

“He won’t die for the time being.”

As soon as Zi Yi said that, she was about to walk over.

This time, Lu Jingye did not stop her.

A few of them had walked over together with her.

Zi Yi knelt down and sniffed. “This man ate a hallucinogenic poison and he won’t remember anything even after he wakes up.”

“What?”

The Dou Family members furrowed their brows.

Lu Jingye looked at the man lying on the ground and asked Zi Y, “Other than you, who can cure this poison?”

Zi Yi thought about it and mentioned a name. “Anya.”

Lu Jingye nodded. He took out his phone and dialed a number. After the call was connected, he said, “Go and search for Anya.”

After hanging up, he turned to the Dou Family members. “Pay attention to your surroundings during this period of time. I will send some bodyguards to protect you in the background.”

“Brother-in-law, is something dangerous going to happen?” When Dou Zerui had asked him the question, his brows had knitted even tighter together.

Dou Muyang thought of what the Ouyang Family revealed and asked, “Has the Ouyang Family fallen out with the Lu Family?”

“Yes… but there’s no need to worry. Something like this will not happen again in the future.” Lu Jingye promised and said, “You only have to pay more attention.”

The Dou Family members nodded their heads and intended to inform the elders after they returned home.

Zi Yi, Lu Jingye and the Dou Family members waited for around half an hour before they saw a few cars driving over.

One of the cars stopped right next to them and Lu Yunxiao walked over while radiating a cold aura after stepping out of the car.

“Brother, Sister-in-law.”

Lu Jingye told him about the specifics.

Lu Yunxiao nodded his head and said, “You can leave first. I will take care of it from here.”

“Ok.”

Zi Yi and the Dou Family members headed to the car.

While walking with them, Zi Yi said, “I’ll send you back.”

The Dou Family members thought about it and did not refuse.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye sent the Dou Family members home and by the time they arrived it was already past midnight.

Dou Yunhao asked, “Do you want to come in and have a seat?”

“It’s too late now and we shouldn’t wake up the elders,” Lu Jingye said.

The Dou Family members did not insist either.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye soon left the Dou Family residence.

When they were in the car, Zi Yi asked, “Do we go to where Yunxiao is?”

“No, he will tell us the results tomorrow morning.”

…

Early the next morning, Lu Yunxiao explained what happened to Zi Yi and Lu Jingye.

“That man is Ouyang Qing’s admirer. He got the news that the younger generation of the Dou Family went out to the bar last night and so, he specially waited at that road.”

Zi Yi said, “Ouyang Hui definitely knows of this. Or perhaps it was their idea to get the man to hold my cousins hostage. However, there’s something I don’t understand. Since they got the man to hold my eldest cousin hostage, why didn’t Ouyang Hui take any action?”

Lu Jingye thought for a while and said, “Ouyang Hui should be thinking of making use of this incident to make the Dou Family think that she was helping them. Through this connection, they would be able to deal with me.”

“Ha!”

Zi Yi asked Lu Yunxiao, “Did you manage to ask anything else from that man?”

“Nothing.”

Zi Yi was a little disappointed, but she found it to be within her expectations.

However, she planned to inform the Dou Family members and so, she grabbed her phone and went to make a call.

Just then, Mrs. Lu and Second Master Lu came in from outside.

Mrs. Lu was unaware of this incident and so when she saw the two brothers standing there when she came inside, she asked, “Today is already the 29th. Are you still going out?”

Before the two brothers had the chance to speak, Mrs. Lu said to Lu Yunxiao with a straight face, “You’re not allowed to go out. I told you that I will watch you as you attend the blind dates yesterday and yet, you dared to sneak out early in the morning. You must stay at home today.”

Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth and he wanted to say something.

However, Mrs. Lu said, “I won’t force you to go on blind dates anymore, alright? Today, we will be hanging lanterns and pasting the red paper cuttings. If you don’t stay at home, do you plan to have me and your father do the work with our weak joints?”

Lu Yunxiao said, “Mother, I understand.”

Only then was Mrs. Lu satisfied. She then turned to look at Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye said, “I will also remain at home.”

Mrs. Lu was delighted.

After breakfast, the Lu father and sons began hanging lanterns in every corner of the house and pasted the red paper cuttings.

“A little to the left. It’s slightly uneven.”

Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye who was standing on the ladder and pasting the red paper cuttings. She thought about their villas near M.Uni and said, “Let’s get Housekeeper Zhang to hang lanterns and paste red paper cuttings at the two villas near M.Uni. This way our homes will be festive.”

“Ok.”

Lu Jingye came down from the ladder after he was done. He took another paper cutting from Zi Yi and the two of them went elsewhere to paste them.

After Mrs. Lu was done ordering around Lu Yunxiao, she turned around and looked in the direction of Zi Yi and Lu Jingye. The corner of her lips could not help but curve up.

Just then, Second Master Lu who was carrying the lanterns came over and said to her, “Lingluo, the main residence called and told us to go back and have a New Year’s Eve dinner with them tomorrow.”

The moment Mrs. Lu heard what he said, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

She asked, “If we went, what about Yiyi?”

Lu Jianlin did not respond.

Mrs. Lu said unhappily, “Are you planning to take Yiyi along with us? Lu Jianlin, I’m telling you. Before ensuring that the old man will not give Yiyi any attitude, I will not let Yiyi go to the main residence.”
