Spring Branches

When Lu Yichuan and his friends arrived at the Lu residence, there was not a single light on in the huge villa. From a distance it looked eerie and scary. Occasionally, strange bird calls could be heard.

After several people got out of the car, Ana touched his arm, trembled a little, and said, "Boss Lu, is there no one in the house? Why does it feel so scary..."

Tang Asi also felt numb inside and couldn't help but shrugged.

Lu Yichuan, with a calm expression, replied indifferently: "Someone."

"It's not even eight o'clock yet, and you're already asleep?" Ana frowned, and the more he spoke, the weirder it seemed to him.

Lu Yichuan glared at Ana and didn't answer him. He took Tang Asi's hand and walked into the villa.

When he arrived at the gate, Lu Yichuan tried to enter his fingerprint, but it showed that the fingerprint did not match. He then entered the password, but it showed that the password was wrong again.

"..."

What's going on here?

Lu Yichuang observed the door lock and found that it was the same door lock as before. How could it be wrong?

He entered it again and it showed an error again.

"Boss Lu, why is it wrong again?" Ana frowned and said, "Did you change the lock because the fire last time burned the door?"

Lu Yichuan shook his head: "No."

Then he chuckled again, "Change the password."

"Ah." Ana screamed loudly, kicked hard on the door, and cursed: "Fuck! What's going on! You didn't tell anyone the password when you changed the lock. Are you afraid that we would know and steal the things inside? Who wants to steal? We have everything!"

Tang Asi walked forward, carefully observed the door lock, and said slowly: "I remember that the last time I went out that day, it was this door lock, and there is a scratch on it."

Ana sighed speechlessly: "What should we do now?"

If you can't get in, you won't find any clues.

You can't just keep wasting time here!

Tang Asi looked up at Lu Yichuan and asked, "Don't you have the contact information of the servants at home? What do you want to ask about?"

Before Lu Yichuang came again, he wanted to send a message to the maid who had watched him grow up, but the other party's account showed "The user has been logged out".

From the fire to the loss of lives, everything had been planned long ago.

Who will this person be?

Chen Yao?

Lu Yichuan thought it was impossible.

"What should we do now?" Ana asked again.

Lu Yichuan said: "Don't be nervous, go to the back door and take a look."

Come to the back door.

Looking down from above, there was a light on in the room at the top. This was a direction that could not be seen from the main entrance. That room was the study, and Lu Qianyuan would often stay in it for a while at night before going back to sleep.

The back door needs a key to open. Lu Yichuan has a key. He took it out to open the door, but the key couldn't be inserted halfway. Then he found that the whole door had been replaced.

I didn’t expect that after not visiting for a while, the villa has undergone tremendous changes.

He sneered: "Everything has changed."

Tang Asi asked solemnly: "Then is there any other entrance to enter?"

Lu Yichuan shook his head, "No."

Then he looked at Ana and said, "Climb the wall from here to the second floor and go in from the balcony."

The balcony on the second floor is suspended and you can climb up, but the door to the balcony requires a password. In fact, there is no need to try again. Just from these doors, you can tell that the balcony door has almost been changed.

"Then, knock on the door twice with the stone, each knock quickly."

"Okay, Brother Lu."

Ana climbed up to the second floor easily.

According to what Lu Yichuan said, Ana knocked on the door twice and waited for about ten minutes, then the maid Aunt Bai came over and opened the balcony door.

"Aunt Bai." Ana exclaimed, then reacted and immediately covered her mouth with both hands.

Aunt Bai looked downstairs, threw a key down, then hurried in and closed the balcony door.

"Is Aunt Bai yours?" Tang Asi asked.

Lu Yichuan nodded, "Yeah."

Then he opened the back door.

When Lu Yichuan's biological mother was alive, Aunt Bai was taking care of her. When things happened at Aunt Bai's house, his mother helped. Aunt Bai was a grateful person, so she always took care of Lu Yichuan with all her heart and listened to what Lu Yichuan said.

After the three of them went in, Ana turned on the light in the room in the dark.

Except for the things placed in the room, nothing else has changed.

They walked towards the only lighted study room on the third floor of the villa, but suddenly -

"who are you?"

Chen Yao's voice appeared in the living room.

Lu Yichuan turned around with a wicked smile on his face, "You're not asleep."

"I'm asking who you are!" Chen Yao asked again, holding a fruit knife in her hand, and it looked like... something was wrong with her brain.

Tang Asi frowned and looked at Lu Yichuan in confusion.

Lu Yichuang said nothing and went to the first floor.

At this time, the housekeeper appeared out of nowhere and came to Chen Yao's side.

The housekeeper frowned and asked coldly, "How did you get in?"

Lu Yichuan smiled, "Why can't I enter my home?"

"As a housekeeper, you are just a servant in the family. What tone do you use to talk to the master and mistress of the family?" Ana asked coldly, with a strong aura and a golden halo behind him.

After hearing this, the expression on the butler's face changed and became what it should be.

He bowed 90 degrees to Lu Yichuan and Tang Asi, and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, Master and Madam, I was also worried about the comfort of the old lady, so I was a little too angry."

"Comfort?" Lu Yichuan frowned.

The housekeeper explained, "Since returning from the hospital last time, Madam was shocked by the damaged villa. The doctor said that something pressed on Madam's nerves. Her IQ is now the same as that of a six-year-old child."

"..."

After hearing this, Lu Yichuang remained calm.

Tang Asi felt some pain in his heart and his nose suddenly felt very sore.

Sensing Tang Asi's emotions, Lu Yichuan gently patted her shoulder.

Unable to bear seeing Chen Yao become what she is now, Tang Asi turned his head away.

Lu Yichuan said: "Mrs. Chen has become like this, why didn't anyone tell me?"

The housekeeper said, "The old man didn't allow me to tell you. The recent public opinion is unbearable to hear, and the group is facing a crisis again. The old man chose to conceal it because he was worried that you would be worried about your wife's health."

Lu Yichuang slowly walked up to Chen Yao and tried to take the fruit knife from her hand, but she stepped back in fear and hid behind the housekeeper.

Seeing this, the housekeeper explained, "Because of this incident, the master has been staying in the study and has not come out. I am the one who takes care of the lady, so she is particularly confident in me."

"Yes." Lu Yichuan said: "Since Mrs. Chen has become like this, we will live in the old house for the next two days."

If Chen Yao really was stimulated and her intelligence declined, then they could stay there for two days and observe, and they would naturally know whether it was true or not.
