Rich Daughter Reincarnates as Her Eighteen-Year-Old Self to Rescue Her Younger Brothers!-Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Mei Shu followed Xiao Bao for a few minutes before stopping. but Xiaobao’s nervousness didn’t subside. On the contrary, it seemed to have become worse. Verbal and physical comfort alone seemed insufficient. Mei Shu thought of candies with a soothing effect in the system.
[Little Eight, I want to exchange for Wonder Candy!]
[Okay, points -5. Master, the candy is already in your shirt pocket.]
Mei Shu took out a lollipop, tore open the packaging, and stuffed it into Xiao Bao’s mouth.
The taste of the milk-flavored lollipop stunned Xiao Bao for a moment, and a strange peace surged in his heart. Mei Shu quickly reached out and gently stroked his back. As she coaxed him softly, Xiao Bao quickly calmed down.
At this moment, Mei Shu heard shouting again.
Although she didn’t hear what they were shouting, Mei Shu’s intuition told her that they might be here to look for Xiao Bao. She secretly glanced at Xiao Bao and realized that his attention had been attracted by the candy in his mouth. Hence, she quietly walked in the direction of the shout, wanting to bring him over directly.
But in the end, Mei Shu couldn’t find those people and couldn’t return to her original place.
Mei Shu scratched her head and said helplessly, “What’s this designer thinking? Why is there such a big grove in a community? Does he want to play hide-and-seek?!”
Mei Shu had no choice. In the end, she decided to walk straight in one direction. Five minutes later, she arrived at the road that led to the side door of the back mountain. That was the Lu family’s exclusive place. It was completely separated from the villa area. Other than the Lu family, no one could go there. The security room there was specially designed to block outsiders from entering.
Mei Shu quickly went forward to explain the situation and got someone to go in to look for Xiao Bao. The security here was specially trained by the Lu family to only be in charge of the safety of the back mountain, so they only arranged for the security in the community to deal with it.
Lu Yan was pacing anxiously in the living room. When he saw Lu Si enter the house, his heart, which had almost jumped to his throat, finally relaxed. He subconsciously said respectfully, “Uncle, are you alright? Do you want to call the doctor?”
Lu Si replied simply, “No, I’m fine.”
Seeing this, Lu Yan hurriedly called his parents.
When Lu Li and his wife, Qin Qin, returned home with a few trusted bodyguards in black suits, they were completely relieved to see that Lu Si was unharmed.
Lu Si looked at Lu Li and his wife and said, “Cousin, Cousin-in-law, I’m sorry to trouble you.”
When the couple heard this, they quickly shook their heads. “We’re family. Let’s not stand on ceremony.”
After Lu Li sent the servants away, he asked softly, “Xiao Si, did you fall ill again just now?”
Lu Si nodded with a dark expression.
Although Lu Si was only two years older than Lu Yan, his imposing demeanor made even Lu Li, a 40-year-old big shot in Lin City, feel intimidated. Especially when he was in a bad mood, everyone sat on the sofa, afraid to even breathe too loudly.
Lu Si was thinking about what had just happened when he came back to his senses and looked at Lu Li. “Cousin, I’ll go back first.”
Seeing this, Qin Qin hurriedly asked him to stay. “Xiao Si, you must be hungry after going out for so long. Eat something first.”
Lu Si looked at the lollipop in his hand and felt that his mouth was filled with sweetness and he had no appetite. “No need, Cousin-in-law. I have other things to do.”
“Cousin, can you help me check the surveillance camera at your door and see what time I went out?”
Lu Li agreed. “Alright, I’ll let you know when I find out.”
Lu Si drove his car back to the villa on the back mountain.
Lu Si had just parked his car when he received Lu Li’s message about the time he left. As he entered the house thoughtfully, Jiang He and Jiang Hai quickly went up to greet him. “Master Si!”
Lu Si glanced at the two of them. “Go to my study.”
In the study, Lu Si raised the lollipop in his hand and said, “I woke up in the grove this time, and when I woke up, I was eating this lollipop.”
Jiang Hai frowned slightly and asked, “You mean the grove you designed to isolate the back mountain? The trees there are so dense. Usually, no one would enter. And someone even gave you candy…”
Jiang He took the candy and looked at it. Although it had no outer packaging, he could clearly see under the magnifying glass that the five words “Placating Magical Candy” were written on the white candy stick.
Lu Si took out a thin chain from his pocket. A chubby animal was painted in the middle. It was obvious that it was a bracelet with missing parts. “Check this candy and this bracelet.”
“This time I woke up even earlier than last time. Last time it was an hour and a half, and this time it was less than 50 minutes.”
Jiang He smiled. “Then, it’s the right choice for you coming to Lin City to relax.”
Lu Si had been falling ill more frequently while staying in the capital city, which caused concern among his family. They forced him to change his environment, so he came to a vacation villa in Lin City for recuperation.
Since he came here, the frequency of his illness onset changed from once every three or four days to once every week or two, but the longest onset time had reached one day.
