After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Zhao Gang nodded and said gently, "Of course, but your current identity is special, and we must ensure your safety."

"I have to arrange for someone to check the area around the rental house first, clear out irrelevant people, and make sure there are no safety hazards. Only then can you go over there, so that I can feel at ease."

Nan Qiao was about to say, "There's no need to do this, right?" But under Zhao Gang's resolute gaze, she silently shut her mouth.

Nan Qiao sat on the sofa waiting for Zhao Gang's arrangements. Looking at the staff of the Special Bureau standing in the living room, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being protected in all directions.

About an hour later, Zhao Gang came over and said to Nan Qiao, "Miss Nan Qiao, everything has been arranged. We can set off now."

Nan Qiao followed Zhao Gang out of the villa. A black business car was parked at the door. Lin Yue and two other staff members were already waiting in the car.

After Nan Qiao got in the car, it started slowly and drove towards the rental house where she used to live.

Along the way, Nan Qiao looked through the car window at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets outside, and the memories of struggling for life kept flooding into his mind.

The car stopped some distance away from the rental house, and Lin Yue said, "Ms. Nan Qiao, let's get out of the car and check the surroundings first."

After Lin Yue and the other agents got out of the car, they quickly dispersed. Their movements were agile and professional.

After a while, Lin Yue came back and reported, "There's nothing unusual around here, Miss Nan Qiao, we can go through now."

Nan Qiao followed them into the alley where the rental house was located. The alley, which was bustling with people in the past, was now deserted.

The old stone pavement under my feet made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in the silent environment.

When she stood at the door of the rental house, she felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

It's time to say goodbye to this house where I've lived for two years.

She opened the door, and the room was filled with an old smell. She began to pack her things: some old clothes, books, some small souvenirs, and the certificates and medals she had won in school since she was a child.

On the other side, Lan Xuxue leaned lazily on the backrest of the car seat, rubbing the gauze on her wrist with her fingertips, and looked at the street scenes passing by outside the car window with a somewhat distracted look.

Even though she was injured, she carefully prepared lunch and sent it to her elder brother and father.

Seeing the wound on her wrist should have deepened their guilt.

The car was moving forward steadily, and after passing two more intersections it would reach the Lan Group.

However, when the car approached an old alley, it suddenly stopped.

Lan Xuxue frowned and was about to ask when the driver bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Miss, there are officials blocking the road ahead. They say there's a special event going on and all vehicles are being diverted."

Lan Xuxue sat up straight with some impatience and looked through the car window.

Sure enough, several special bureau staff members in uniform stood in the middle of the road with serious expressions, directing vehicles to change routes in an orderly manner.

Just as the car slowly turned around and prepared to leave, Lan Xuxue's gaze inadvertently swept towards the entrance of the alley.

She saw Nan Qiao walking out of the slightly dark alley, accompanied by a group of staff members.

Nan Qiao was holding some old things in his arms, with a look of emotion on his face.

The staff members surrounded her closely, looking alert.

Lan Xuxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and an inexplicable sense of pleasure surged in her heart.

She watched Nan Qiao being "escorted" into the car, and thought that Nan Qiao had committed some crime and was arrested by the special department.

A sneer quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth, with a hint of sarcasm and gloating in it.

Lan Xuxue came to the Lan Group with a carefully prepared lunch.

The moment she stepped into the group's lobby, she was like an elegant swan, taking light steps with a hint of confidence in her eyes.

The employees coming and going greeted her politely as they passed by her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lan."

"Hello, Miss Lan."

These greetings were like pleasant notes, bringing a sense of satisfaction to Lan Xuxue's heart.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate face. Obviously, she enjoyed the feeling of being pursued and greeted by everyone.

The elevator slowly rose and finally reached the 22nd floor.

Lan Xuxue went to find her father first, and when she learned that he was not there, she went to find Lan Yuchen.

With graceful steps, Lan Xuxue gently pushed open the door of the president's office.

At this time, Lan Yuchen was concentrating on the documents. When he heard the familiar footsteps, he subconsciously raised his head.

When his eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around Lan Xuxue's wrist, his brows instantly frowned.

She said with concern: "Xiaoxue, your hand is injured, so don't cook for us anymore. What if you accidentally let the wound open?"

Lan Xuxue waved her hand gently, winked playfully, and said, "The injury on my hand is no longer serious."

"It's a rare summer vacation, so I finally have time to cook for you. School is about to start, and I'm worried that you and Dad won't be able to enjoy the delicious lunch I made for you anymore."

Lan Yuchen smiled dotingly, "You still have to pay attention to the wound and don't try to be stubborn, okay?"

"I know." Lan Xuxue nodded obediently. Big brother always liked people who were well-behaved and obedient to him.

Lan Xuxue placed the lunch items one by one on the table.

When Lan Yuchen started eating, she seemed to have suddenly recalled something and said casually, "Brother, on my way here just now, I seemed to see Nan Qiao at the entrance of an old alley."

While eating, Lan Yuchen asked casually, "Is that the girl Jing Cheng brought home a few days ago?"

To him, it doesn't matter who his real sister is.

Lan Xuxue nodded slightly, a sly look flashing across her eyes as she lowered her voice and said, "Yes, that's her. But she's been accompanied by a lot of staff today. The entire road has been blocked off. They look extremely alert, as if something big has happened."

She continued, "Did she get arrested for something? She was holding some old things in her arms and looked quite disheveled."

Lan Yuchen put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then said, "She looks quite honest. Could it be that you saw it wrong?"

Lan Xuxue quickly shook her head and said anxiously, "No, brother, I saw it clearly. I don't know what she did wrong to be taken away in such a serious manner."

Lan Xuxue said this, but she was secretly thinking in her heart that if something really happened to Nan Qiao, it would be a happy accident.

Lan Yuchen glanced at her slightly and said, "You seem to care a lot about whether she has done anything wrong."

Lan Xuxue quickly explained, "I'm just worried that she'll affect our Lan family."
