The room was very quiet, so quiet that apart from the beeping of the phone and the sound of his breathing, the only sounds were.
Lu Mian didn't know what he was nervous about, but his breathing was disordered and uneven, and he felt a little tense and uneasy.
"Hello, hello."
Suddenly, the phone was connected and a clear and pleasant voice came from it.
Lu Mian was so nervous that he almost dropped his phone. He clenched his hands tightly with shaking hands and lowered his voice, "Hello, Miss Ruan, I am Lu Mian, the housekeeper of the Di family. Is it convenient for you to come out now? I have something to tell you."
"That's convenient." Ruan Zheng held her breath and agreed without hesitation when she heard Lu Mian introduce himself.
When Lu Mian heard this, he immediately stated the meeting place concisely without any hesitation.
Although no one in the Di family was watching him, he still felt uncomfortable doing such a treacherous thing behind his master's back. He was scared and panicked, and always felt like he was committing a crime.
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mian took a deep breath, patted his disordered heartbeat exaggeratedly, and then opened the door and walked out as if nothing had happened.
It just so happened that he had to go shopping today, so Lu Mian successfully found this excuse to go out.
It was already 9 o'clock when he arrived at the place he and Ruan Zheng had agreed to meet. Although it was 9 o'clock, the road and the store were very deserted because of the cold weather.
Lu Mian was very satisfied with the time and store he had chosen. It was suitable for discussing things without worrying about being disturbed or discovered.
The heating in the box was already on, and Ruan Zheng was already inside when Lu Mian entered.
He took off his heavy coat and hung it on the hanger, then sat down opposite Ruan Zheng.
The aroma of tea filled the air, making people feel comfortable and relaxed, but Lu Mian was tense the whole time. He looked at Ruan Zheng, who had a fair face, and spoke in a hurry.
"Ms. Ruan, time is running out, so let's keep this short. I just want to ask you for a favor."
"You go ahead." Ruan Zheng responded politely.
Seeing that she was easy to talk to, Lu Mian didn't hesitate. He took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then spoke out in one breath...
After he finished speaking, he sighed heavily, "Xiuzhi is stubborn. I have no choice but to come to you, Miss Ruan."
Lu Mian handed her a piece of paper and said, "Miss Ruan, this is Xiuzhi's current address. Please help me."
"By the way, that's the worst alley in Country K. It's a hodgepodge of people, good and bad. If you go there alone, you must be careful. Of course, you can also ask the young master to accompany you. As for the others, it's not that I don't trust them, but now is a special period, and less trouble is better."
"The master never tolerates those who disobey him. If he knew that it was Xiuzhi who revealed the young lady's whereabouts to you and the young master, I'm afraid he would kill her. So, Miss Ruan, please, please help me persuade Xiuzhi to leave Country K."
Now Lu Mian can only place his hopes on Ruan Zheng. Although Xiuzhi said that she would live carefully in that alley until the matter was settled, he was still worried.
It's not that she was afraid that Di Guanwei would kill her, but she was worried that the second young master would do something behind his back.
Therefore, leaving Country K temporarily is her only choice, and only in this way can he be completely relieved.
Otherwise, not only will his personal safety be threatened while hiding in Country K, but he may also be caught by the extremely cunning Second Young Master at any time. The more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes.
Ruan Zheng didn't know Di Guanwei and didn't know how cruel he could be, but seeing Lu Mian's overly serious expression, she knew he was not joking.
He took the note and put it away, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
When Lu Mian heard her words, he opened his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Forget it. The current situation is not easy for anyone. It is good enough that Miss Ruan comes forward to help. He can't force her to make any more guarantees.
After the story was told, considering her personal safety, Lu Mian did not stay long and left the teahouse.
After he left, Ruan Zheng did not leave quickly, but sat alone in the box, thinking about something.
The memory of Lu Mian saying that the alley Xiuzhi lived in now was the most mixed one in Country K flashed through her ears, and she frowned slightly.
