Laura looked at Luo Youwei, then looked at the Thames River in the distance, which was shrouded in darkness but still had lights flashing. After a long silence, she said, "My father disappeared seven years ago. Some people said he was dead and asked me to inherit the huge business of the Crawford family, but I have always refused. Do you know why?"

"If you don't admit it, he might still be alive." Luo Youwei obviously understood her thoughts and said, "But if you accept all this, maybe he will really be gone... I'm sorry."

"Nothing, you don't have to apologize." Laura looked at Luo Youwei with sparkling eyes, full of joy that you understand me, and said: "I think the same as you, so I have always refused to accept the facts they have determined."

"and then?"

"I've become poor." Laura took a big sip of beer, then laughed loudly and said, "When I was riding on the road this afternoon, I saw a man and suddenly thought of my father. Before he left, he said goodbye to me and said he would be back soon."

At this point, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said, "But I really didn't expect that what he said wouldn't take long would actually take this long."

"Don't you want to go find him?" Luo Youwei asked.

"Of course I have thought about it, and more than once." Laura looked at Luo Youwei and said excitedly: "I have been trying to find ways to make money. In addition to learning fighting, firearms and other skills, I am also saving money for travel expenses."

"That sounds cool." Luo Youwei praised and asked, "Have you saved enough?"

"Unfortunately, I'm still a little short." Laura stretched out her finger and made a small gesture, then sighed under Luo Youwei's gaze; "Okay, I admit, I'm still a long way off, but I'm trying."

"Laura, you may not like what I am going to say next, but I have no ill intentions. Please believe that as your best friend, I will always stand by you." Luo Youwei said.

"Please tell me." Laura looked at Luo Youwei and joked, "As long as you don't say you're in love with me, anything is fine."

"No way, my future boyfriend must be as good as my father." Luo Youwei said.

"Wow, that doesn't sound easy to find." Laura said.

"Who cares? Take your time. There will always be something." Luo Youwei smiled freely, and then said seriously: "Laura, I understand your persistence and your thoughts."

"But what I want to say is that if you don't sign the contract to receive your father's things, it doesn't mean that those things will always stay far away waiting for him to come back, or waiting for you to receive them."

"If someone feels that your father's temporary departure affects the interests of the company or themselves, they may take some measures that make you feel uncomfortable, such as forcing the auction of things that belong to you through legal means, and then some people who have long been jealous of these companies will smile and put the things they have been coveting for a long time into their own pockets."

When Laura heard this, she looked at Luo Youwei and said, “That’s not mine.”

"I understand." Luo Youwei looked at her and said, "You belong to your father, whether it's the company or the manor, but he's not here right now, so as his only daughter, I think you should take on the responsibility of protecting all his property."

Laura lowered her head, looked at the beer, and remained silent.

"Laura, I'm not anyone's lobbyist. I'm just telling you what I would do if it were me." Luo Youwei said, smiling at her and said, "Guess why I came to London this time?"

"You don't come just to see me, do you?" Laura said with a smile.

"Of course not." Luo Youwei shook her head and said, "Before you called me, I didn't know what you had been through in the past few years. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you rarely tell me about your personal affairs."

"I just think there's nothing to say." Laura smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I'm curious why you came to London?"

"It's a long story." Luo Youwei immediately told the story of how her mother went back to her parents' home but never came back, and her father was missing from time to time. In the end, she had to take over the Luo and Prince Group, which attracted the covetousness of many people and eventually turned into an assassination.

"Look, isn't it somewhat similar to what you experienced?" Luo Youwei said with a smile, "It's just that I took a different approach. You know Tony, right?"

"Who doesn't know the famous Iron Man?" Laura said.

"His parents also met with an accident when he was very young. The company was still under the control of someone else at the time, but he took it over when he became an adult and carried forward Stark Industries."

Luo Youwei stared at Laura and said, “I’m not telling you this to make a decision for you, but just to tell you that sometimes you can change your way of thinking about the same thing.”

"Thank you, I'll seriously consider it." Laura nodded, handed over the beer can and said, "Cheers."

"cheers."

After finishing the beer they bought, the two prepared to leave.

"Where are you staying today?" Laura asked.

"Of course it's home." Luo Youwei answered naturally; "Do you want to go back with me to take a look?"

Laura pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head.

"See you tomorrow." Luo Youwei didn't persuade her any more. She waved at her and rode away on her bike.

I don’t know if something Luo Youwei said touched Laura’s sensitive heart, but she showed up at Crawford Holdings early the next morning.

Of course, Luo Youwei was also there with her.

Soon Laura and Luo Youwei met Anna Miller, who had been managing the company since Richard Crawford disappeared, and who had served as Laura's guardian for a long time before she came of age.

It’s just that the relationship between the two is obviously not particularly harmonious.

Laura simply introduced Luo Youwei to Anna and didn't say another word to her.

"For your convenience, I have marked the pages that require signatures." Lawyer Yafu said as he pushed the thick document and a pen in front of Luo Youwei.

The document begins with the legal declaration of the death of Earl Richard Crawford.

"Do you need Mr. Yaffe to go over the details with you?" asked Anna Miller, who was sitting nearby.

“Once I sign these.” Laura did not answer, but looked at Luo Youwei and said, “Then, Dad is really dead.”

"I can imagine how hard this is for you," Anna said. "I miss him, too."

Laura glanced at her without saying a word, looked down at the document in front of her, picked up the pen and was about to sign.

The lawyer next to him, Mr. Yafu, suddenly took out a cube made of multiple layers of wood from his briefcase.

"That's my father's." Laura saw it at a glance and stopped signing immediately.

"Yes, Miss Crawford, according to Richard's will, I should give this to you after his death," said Mr. Yaffe.

"Robot Japanese puzzle game." Laura said as she took the rectangular wooden block.

"In theory, you should sign these documents first." Mr. Yaf wanted to say something, but Laura had already started twisting the cube.

Then with a crackling sound, a piece of the originally flat block popped out.
