Upon approaching Lu Yangui, Han Zhijin noticed that Lu Yangui’s phone had been tossed on the ground.
"Mom, why did you throw your phone on the floor?" Han Zhijin asked, puzzled, before bending down to pick up the phone.
Before his fingertips even touched the phone, Lu Yangui reflexively shouted, "Don’t touch my phone!"
Han Zhijin was startled and turned to Lu Yangui with a puzzled look, "What’s wrong? What’s this all about?"
Lu Yangui quickly picked up her phone and clutched it tightly in her own palm before reluctantly saying, "It’s nothing."
"You look like there is sothing. You think I’m a three-year-old child, that easy to fool?" Han Zhijin muttered as he sat beside the bed, wrapping his arm around Lu Yangui’s shoulders, "Miss Lu, co on, I’ll be your trash can. Whatever’s bothering you, just spill it!"
"It’s nothing, what could it be..." Lu Yangui forced a smile at Han Zhijin, "It’s just that I felt a bit unwell last night and didn’t sleep well."
"Really?" Han Zhijin thought to himself, why didn’t he believe her?
"Really, Mom just worked overti too much last night and got tired," Lu Yangui smiled at Han Zhijin again; this ti, it was much more natural.
Han Zhijin could tell that his mother was hiding sothing from him, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to press it out of her, so he just went along with her, "If you’re feeling tired, why not rest at ho today and not go to the company."
"Mm." Lu Yangui nodded with a smile, then pointed towards the bathroom, "You go have breakfast, Mom needs to wash up."
"Okay." Han Zhijin got up and left.
The second Han Zhijin closed the door, his brow furrowed deeply.
His mother was acting too out of character; she had never been like this before. To be precise, since he could rember, he had never seen his mother like this... She must be hiding sothing serious from him... It seems he needed to keep a closer watch on his mother these next few days.
As soon as Han Zhijin’s figure disappeared from the bedroom, the smile on Lu Yangui’s face imdiately vanished. She sat on the bed, lost in thought for a while, then picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, entered the ssaging app, and looked at those two videos.
She didn’t know how many tis she had rewatched that video. Suddenly, a new ssage popped up on the ssaging page, "Mr. Lu, just a reminder, you have 20 hours left until the 24-hour deadline is over."
"Also, I’ve prepared the dicine for you already; it’s placed in a discarded mailbox to the left of the Han Family’s old mansion gate. If you agree to help , just take the dicine and act on it, but if you don’t agree..."
The ssage ended there, but Lu Yangui knew the implication behind that ellipse.
The person was threatening her—if she did not help him, he would... expose the video.
...
When Lu Yangui returned from work, she glanced through the car window at that discarded mailbox, but she didn’t step on the brake, and directly drove into the old mansion’s yard.
After parking the car, as soon as she entered the house, she heard Mrs. Han telling Zhang Ma, "Tomorrow afternoon, go to the market to buy so fresh vegetables, tomorrow night Jingnian is bringing Miss Xia to have dinner at ho."
Jingnian coming over for dinner tomorrow night?
Lu Yangui subconsciously paused her step into the house, then stood at the doorway for a mont before she retreated to the front gate, looking towards that discarded mailbox.
