The next morning, Lu Anan brought Lu Xunran to the base. After Jin Yan met them at the door, he briefly explained the situation to Lu Anan.

"Since Li Hao was brought to the base, he has been as stubborn as a turtle. No matter how we ask him, he won't say anything. And because the operation is confidential, we can't use torture. We were at a loss for two days."

Lu Anan nodded to show that she understood, and followed him into the interrogation room where Li Hao was imprisoned, where Jin Fangguo was sitting.

After Lu Anan greeted Jin Fangguo, she looked at Li Hao on the other side of the glass.

"Grandpa Jin, let me go in and try."

"Girl, what are you going to do?"

Jin Fangguo was somewhat curious about the method Lu Anan said could be used to pry open Li Hao's turtle shell.

Lu Anan smiled mysteriously: "Secret."

After saying that, Lu Anan turned and went to the other side.

Li Hao heard the door open, saw Lu Anan at the door, and snorted disdainfully.

"What? They couldn't pry open my mouth, so they think you, a little girl, can do it? Ridiculous."

Lu Anan didn't want to waste time talking to him, so after using hypnosis, she said coldly, "Li Hao, look at me."

Li Hao looked at Lu Anan with a sneer. He wanted to see what tricks this damn girl could use. He wouldn't say anything anyway. But as soon as he met Lu Anan's eyes, he felt as if his soul was sucked away, and his eyes gradually became dull.

Seeing Li Hao's expression, Lu Anan knew that the time was almost right. She glanced at the glass and asked, "Li Hao, who is your master?"

"I don't have a master."

"What is your relationship with Madam Lu? Who sent you here?"

"Madam Lu and I are partners. We were both sent by the master."

Lu Anan frowned. How come another master appeared?

"What is your mission, both of you?"

"I don't know Madam Lu's mission. I only know that she was sent out by the master many years ago. My mission is to deliver the pills to the Jin family with the help of Madam Lu."

"Where did the medicine come from?"

"The medicine was also given to me by the master. I don't know where the master got it from."

Lu Anan paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Who is your master?"

"My master is...is..."

Li Hao's expression began to become painful, and after a moment he suddenly fell down.

Lu Anan quickly stood up, approached the fallen Li Hao, checked him, and after confirming that he had just fainted, he stood up with a sharp look in his eyes.

Jin Fangguo and the other two pushed the door open and looked at Li Hao who was unconscious on the ground. They asked, "Girl, what's this?"

Lu Anan explained: "I just fainted, it's nothing serious."

Jin Fangguo nodded, his tone unable to hide his curiosity: "An An, how did you do it? Why did he tell you as soon as you entered?"

"Hypnosis."

Jin Fangguo suddenly realized, but was a little confused, "An An, you know hypnosis, why didn't you hypnotize Li Hao directly that day?"

Lu Anan: "...I forgot."

[Why? Of course it’s because I didn’t know this skill that day! ]

"Hey? An An, you are very different from other doctors in hypnosis. You don't even need any tools. You can just do it directly?"

Jin Yan looked at the empty desk, then looked at Lu Anan in surprise.

Lu Anan: ...I hate people who have no sense of boundaries!

[Shit, I forgot about that. I should have brought a spinning top!]

"I used it, but you didn't notice."

"is it?"

Jin Fangguo and the other person looked at Lu Anan curiously, but still couldn't find out what Lu Anan's medium was.

Lu Xunran looked at Lu Anan, whose forehead veins were throbbing, and couldn't help wanting to laugh. Fearing that his sister would get angry, he said, "Anan, why did Li Hao suddenly faint?"

Lu Anan looked at the two people whose attention had been diverted, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the third brother gratefully, "Someone must have hypnotized him before me and set taboo words."

Lu Xunran's brows gathered a solemn expression, "Taboo word? Who is the master?"

Lu Anan shook her head, "No, it should be triggered as long as I ask about the master."

Hearing this, Lu Xunran frowned slightly and turned to look at Jin Fangguo, "Mr. Jin, is there any way to find out who this master is?"

Jin Fangguo pondered for a moment, a look of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "In fact, the fastest way is to bring Madam Lu over to ask her."

Lu Anan denied Jin Fangguo's idea, "I think it may not work. Li Hao just said that he and Old Madam Lu are both this master's people. Old Madam Lu should have taboo words just like Li Hao."

Jin Fangguo also thought of it, so he had to give up the idea and said, "I will try to find this master and let you know when I have any news."

"Okay, if there's anything else with Madam Lu, I'll call Grandpa Jin."

Cloud City.

Madam Lu cautiously came to the teahouse and entered an antique box. She looked at the careless man hiding in the shadows opposite her, and a flash of fear flashed across her eyes.

"master."

The man's deep and magnetic voice came faintly: "Well, how is the Lu family?"

Madam Lu shrank back and pretended to be calm and said, "The little girl Lu An'an from the Lu family has been found."

The man said "oh" nonchalantly and motioned for her to continue.

Madam Lu's tone gradually became more and more resentful: "That damn girl just came home and hooked up with Jin Fangguo and the young master of the Jin family, Jin Yan. Jin Fangguo came to the Lu family specifically to find that damn girl. When Li Hao and I delivered medicine to Jin Fangguo, that damn girl was also there, and..."

The man propped up his head and showed some interest. "Oh? You said you saw Lu Anan at the Jin family? When Jin Yan came to the house, didn't she drive the weirdly dressed Jin Yan out of the Lu family?"

Madam Lu froze. How did the master know so much? But she didn't dare to ask, and only replied respectfully, "Yes, she was not kicked out."

The man curled his lips and laughed: "Interesting, go on."

Madam Lu nodded and continued, "At the Jin family, after Li Hao gave the medicine away, Jin Fangguo left only Li Hao and drove Rong Yu and me out. I don't know what happened to the Jin family afterwards, and Li Hao hasn't called me until today."

The man took a sip of tea and asked, "What happens next?"

"After that, Rongyu and I went to Lu Mingqian's house. We wanted to make a big scene, but it seemed that they had discovered that Rongyu had sent someone to kill Lu Anan. So, I and..."

The man put the teacup down heavily, interrupting Madam Lu's words, and asked in an unclear tone: "Did Lu Rongyu send someone to kill Lu Anan?"

Madam Lu shuddered, her voice trembling slightly: "Yes, she said she found someone from the mercenary group and wanted to take the initiative to kill Lu Anan."

The man threw the teacup on the table, grabbed Madam Lu's neck, and said in a cold voice: "Lu Yanhua, you and Lu Rongyu are just my pawns. You'd better put yourself in the right position and don't do things you shouldn't do. If you dare to act on your own again next time, I will chop off your hands. Do you understand?"

Lu Yanhua met the man's eyes in horror, tears streaming down her face. She nodded repeatedly, "I know, I was wrong, Master. I will take good care of Lu Rongyu."

The man threw the old lady away in disdain, slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Anything else?"

Lu Yanhua slowed down, her voice hoarse: "Then when we were leaving, Lu Anan asked me how Li Hao and I knew each other, and asked me if I knew what medicine Li Hao had. I wondered if she had discovered something?"

The man paused while wiping his hands and laughed: "Lu Anan, you really surprised me."

Lu Yanhua was a little confused and tried carefully: "Master, what do you mean?"

"There's nothing for you to do here, go back."

The man did not answer, but just gave instructions lightly.

Seeing that the man had no instructions, Lu Yanhua left the teahouse tremblingly.

The man stared at the far end of the tea room and smiled softly: "Lu An'an, oh, it's An'an."
