Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

The little boy hadn't expected Lu Qingyun to have such a sharp eye, recognizing at a glance that he was hiding from someone.

The child didn't know how to control his emotions, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Yan Jiu stared at the little boy, looking him up and down for a few moments.

"He must be one of their lab rats. He's pretty bold; he probably escaped during the chaos."

Upon hearing the word "laboratory," the little boy trembled, his eyes filled with fear.

That was a fear that came from the very core of one's being.

"You, you're with them?"

The boy struggled to get away from Tang Meng, but his strength was definitely far inferior to that of an adult.

Tang Meng pulled the boy firmly, trying to avoid accidentally injuring him.

"No."

Lu Qingyun shook her head, her dark eyes shining brightly.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, and the little boy instinctively reached out to tug at Lu Qingyun's sleeve.

For some reason, this older sister gave him a sense of security.

Lu Qingyun stood up and handed the little boy over to Tang Meng. She remained expressionless, her cold eyes fixed on the distance.

Those eyes were like an empty desert, yet also like a black hole, seemingly capable of containing everything.

Three or four young men in white coats walked over. As soon as they saw Lu Qingyun and her group, their fierce expressions instantly changed.

Depend on!

What's this woman doing here?

How did she manage to find such a secluded place?

Just who is this person?!

The first thing the four of them did upon seeing Lu Qingyun was to run away.

"Stop them."

Lu Qingyun spoke calmly.

Tang Meng responded with a slightly somber expression. He was quick and caught the men, who didn't even have any real martial arts skills, in no time.

"Young Madam, everyone is here."

Lu Qingyun nodded, took a step forward, and was about to approach the group when the little boy grabbed her hand, preventing her from going forward.

"Sister, don't go."

Yan Jiu picked up the dirty little boy and said, "Don't worry, this older sister is very capable."

The little boy was startled when he was lifted into the air and instinctively wrapped his arms around Yan Jiu's neck.

As Lu Qingyun approached, the men all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at her.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time."

Her voice was nonchalant, but when it hit them, it terrified them.

Those who haven't witnessed this woman's prowess simply cannot understand their feelings.

"How...how did you know we were here?"

The speaker was a tall, thin man who stared at Lu Qingyun with a tense expression and a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun replied casually, "What do you think?"

The man didn't know how Lu Qingyun knew they were here, but his top priority was to prevent Lu Qingyun from going to their stronghold.

However, the current situation is not something they can control.

"Lead the way, everyone."

Those people didn't move.

Lu Qingyun wasn't in a hurry. "Are you being so tactless? Or do you want to go there with your injuries?"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves.

This looks like they're about to beat someone up.

Having already witnessed Lu Qingyun's abilities, none of them dared to actually fight her.

"Let's go, I'll lead the way."

The tall, thin man immediately stood up and, quite tactfully, led the way.

The three followed him and soon passed through the alley to a dilapidated warehouse.

However, this dilapidated appearance is only superficial; in reality, there is a hidden world inside.

The sophisticated instruments inside stunned Tang Meng.

The warehouse is quite spacious, unlike its appearance which suggests it is small.

"Xiao Zhang, I asked you to catch someone, why did it take you so long? Who are they?"

The speaker was an elderly man with a white beard and glasses perched on his nose.

His sharp, weathered gaze swept over Lu Qingjun and the others.

His eyesight isn't very good; he has to squint to see what they look like.

When Lu Qingyun and the others approached, the old man was shocked.

"What? It's you, Xiao Zhang! Who told you to bring them here!"

He yelled at Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang felt particularly wronged, saying, "She's too fierce."

Old man:? ? ?

You're a grown man, and you're afraid of this little girl?!

Isn’t it a shame?

However, when Lu Qingyun's gaze swept over him, the old man couldn't help but tremble.

Depend on!

They were truly terrified of this woman's shadow.

"Old man, it's been a long time."

Lu Qingyun's eyes held aloofness, her eyebrows raised.

The old man wished he had never met Lu Qingyun in his life.

He turned his head away, refusing to look at her.

"I won't reminisce with you guys, since we all know each other, and judging from your expressions, you don't seem too welcoming of me."

Lu Qingyun said in a soft and slow tone, "However, I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't hold those things against you. Let's talk about serious business."

Old man: Who the hell wants to talk to you about serious business?

Lu Qingyun never talks about anything serious.

Moreover, the fact that she was able to find this place means she must have gathered almost all the information about their side before she came.

That's just how Lu Qingyun is; she never fights a battle she's not prepared for.

The reason Jing Shuo was tricked by Lu Qingyun was definitely because he underestimated her.

"You must have spent a lot of money renovating this place, right?"

The old man looked wary. "What exactly do you want?"

Lu Qingyan turned her head to look at him, "You know about Jing Shuo's arrest, right?"

They knew, of course, that the ringleader had been arrested.

Just two days ago, their lab was in an uproar over that incident.

The old man pursed his lips and remained silent.

“Your place won’t last long. I sent the location to the higher-ups yesterday. If you want to live, here’s a piece of advice: come back with us obediently.”

"Going back with you won't change anything; we'll still have no way to survive."

After Lu Qingyun and her group arrived, the people around them all came out of their rooms, and there were about a dozen or twenty people gathered around.

The speaker was a short-haired woman whose face clearly showed she had a mean or unkind nature.

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone around her felt that what she said made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement.

Lu Qingyun smiled slightly upon hearing this, but her eyes revealed a coldness.

"Ah, from what you're saying, you want to set off right now? No problem, I can accommodate you on this small matter."

What does "let's hit the road now" mean? What does she mean?

None of them reacted.

Lu Qingyun didn't wait for them to react. She snapped her fingers, and soon a group of people rushed in from outside, surrounding the area.

"Hey, who are you? What do you want? Don't you know that trespassing is illegal?!"

"Hey, old man, you guys actually know about breaking the law?"

Yan Jiu, who had been silent the whole time, crossed her arms and said something in a low voice.

Yan Jiu's words made Xiao Zhang and the others blush bright red.

After all, this statement sounds like it's subtly criticizing them.
