"Oh! So you are after the keys to the three ancient ruins of our Zhao family!"

Lu Yun did not hide his real purpose, and even told Zhao Hong that he had obtained two of the pieces, but he did not say that it was Yan Hong who instructed him to do so.

Moreover, from Lu Yun's observation of Zhao Hong's facial expression during this period, he was very sure that the third special piece of wood in the Zhao family's hand was in Zhao Hong's hand.

"Even if you get the three keys to the ancient ruins from our Zhao family, it won't work, because without the three keys from the Yan family, you still can't open the door to the ancient ruins!"

Zhao Hong said.

"Since I can disguise myself as Zhao Ritian, I can naturally disguise myself as other people, just like the missing Yan Family's Yan Yan!"

Lu Yun said with a smile.

Zhao Hong shook her head and said, "If you want to live two more years, I suggest you don't do this. Yan Hongcai looks gentle, but she is ruthless. She won't sit down and talk to you calmly like I do. She will only use torture to pry what she wants out of you."

"Yan Hongcai's woman? Isn't Yan Hongcai a man? How come he became a woman again?"

Lu Yun said in pretended surprise.

"Oh! That's right! It's normal that you don't know. She has always been good at keeping secrets!" Zhao Hong said with a smile: "Now the two keys to the ancient ruins in my father's hands are in your hands. Why don't we cooperate? I will go to talk to Yan Hongcai. How about we open this ancient ruins together?"

"Forget about cooperating with big families like you! I know my own worth!"

Lu Yun shook his head and refused.

"You played hard to get, and I admit I was fooled!"

Zhao Hong smiled and placed a brocade box on the table in front of Lu Yun.

Before Zhao Hong could speak, Lu Yun threw the brocade box away, leaving Zhao Hong stunned!

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

Lu Yun scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "It was a reflex. I couldn't help it for a moment! Hehe!"

When Lu Yun saw the brocade box for the first time, he didn't think of any valuable treasures inside, but a bomb or a trigger grenade that would explode as soon as the brocade box was opened.

However, when Lu Yun slapped the brocade box, the violent impact caused the contents of the box to fall out. It turned out to be the third special piece of wood.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yun picked up the third special piece of wood from the ground in confusion. He couldn't understand why Zhao Hong did this for no reason.

"This is the sincerity I show for our cooperation!" Zhao Hong said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with these three keys to the ancient ruins? Or that you will go and cooperate with Yan Hongcai directly?"

"First of all, I believe you are a smart person and would not do such a thing. I have confidence that even if you run away, you will not be able to escape from No. 33 Zhongzhou City. As for cooperating with Yan Hongcai, if you want to be backstabbed and die, then I, Zhao Hong, will take responsibility. After all, good words cannot persuade a damned person, and great mercy will only kill people if it is not saved!"

Zhao Hong explained Lu Yun's questions one by one.

"You seem to know the eldest son of the Yan family very well!" Lu Yun did not give Zhao Hong a direct answer immediately, but shifted the topic to Yan Hongcai.

At first, Lu Yun thought that Yan Hongcai was just a woman disguised as a man with a meticulous mind. However, after experiencing so many things and coming into contact with Zhao Hong, Lu Yun was surprised to find that Yan Hongcai was much more terrifying than she had previously guessed.

Even if two enemies cooperate, they will only fight each other after they have solved the problem together. But Yan Hong is different. When she cooperates with you, she will start to make all kinds of small moves, determined to solve the partner when the problem is solved, so that she can enjoy the fruits of victory alone.

A woman’s heart is as deep as a needle in the sea!

Zhao Hong was not annoyed by Lu Yun's changing the subject. Instead, she carefully explained to him about Yan Hongcai.

Because in this negotiation, no matter whether Lu Yun was testing and observing Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong was also testing and observing Lu Yun.

As time passed and as she observed Lu Yun's words and actions, Zhao Hong was surprised to find that Lu Yun, like her, was a man with great ambitions that were not limited to the present.

This gave her a feeling of mutual appreciation, which was also an important reason why she was so patient with Lu Yun.

Otherwise, he would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago. If it was the real Zhao Ritian, Zhao Hong would not even let him enter the gate and would have kicked him out.

It's such a double standard!

Through Zhao Hong, Lu Yun had a completely new understanding of Yan Hongcai. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that Yan Hongcai didn't attack him, otherwise Lu Yun couldn't guarantee that he could escape unscathed.

"Should you give me an answer now?" Zhao Hong brought the topic back again.

"It seems I have no choice!" Lu Yun was about to stretch out his hand when he heard the voice of a maid coming from outside.

"Master! The lady is here!"

Because the door was open, one could even faintly hear Mrs. Zhao complaining, "I'm her mother! Do I need to report to Zhao Hong when I see her?"

This made the two people in the room stunned, and they were puzzled as to why Mrs. Zhao appeared here.

However, with their brains, they came up with a countermeasure in an instant. After looking at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, because they saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

Is this what it means to be in tune with each other?

Lu Yun stood up suddenly, and the movement was so large that he even kicked the chair.

Pointing at Zhao Hong's nose, she began to scold: "Is this how you act as a sister? You don't even give your brother a little pocket money? Then what's the point of having you as a sister?"

"Zhao Ritian! Stop throwing tantrums in front of me. I ask your father to give you pocket money every month!" Zhao Hong also immediately got into the mood and yelled at Lu Yun.

The two people's voices immediately attracted Mrs. Zhao outside the door. She used her fat body to push away the maid who was blocking the door and walked in.

"My dear son! Why are you here?"

Mrs. Zhao first showed concern for Lu Yun, then looked at Zhao Hong, her eyes and expression immediately became vicious: "Zhao Hong! What are you doing? Is this the attitude of a sister towards her brother?"

"Mom! You don't know the whole story, so don't get involved!" Zhao Hong said with a frown.

"I don't care what the beginning or the end is! Your attitude is wrong! Apologize now!"

Mrs. Zhao said aggressively.

Zhao Hong's face immediately turned dark, and she was shaking with anger.

Seeing Lu Yun, I exclaimed, "Wow!" It's a pity that Zhao Hong doesn't act in a movie with such acting skills!

He hurried out to smooth things over, as he was afraid that Zhao Hong would get too into her acting, get too caught up in the situation, and turn the fake into real, and it would be bad if she beat him up!

"I don't need to apologize, just ask him to double my pocket money!"

"Did you hear that? Why don't you thank your brother for his kindness?"

Mrs. Zhao chimed in.
