CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 220: HAVE A PLEASANT WEEKEND

The room was filled with a strange after-sex odor, and nobody wanted to stay. Everyone roughly knew what had transpired and left the room for the living room.

"People, I have taken them away, and the military will investigate this thoroughly," Mo Junhua decided. Chu Yang had no choice but to agree, as Mo Junhua was very assertive. Su Qing returned with orders from the headquarters to bring back everyone involved, including Chu Yang.

"Young Master?" The middle-aged man asked Chu Yang if they should break out.

"You guys go back first; I’m going to the military base," Chu Yang waved for them to go back. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but rather that he couldn’t; Mo Junhua would never agree to it, so he was very sensible about his situation.

The middle-aged man disagreed, but since the troops who came had more people and were armed, he didn’t dare to stop them and, together with his people, hurried back to report to the old master. Su Qing escorted the reporters and Zhou Yuwei back to the military base.

As Mo Junhua was about to leave, his lingering gaze slyly swept over the wardrobe.

Once everyone had left, Lan Tian emerged from the wardrobe. His Divine Sense enveloped the entire hotel, and upon finding no suspicious people nearby, he carried Chunhua all the way home, only removing the Invisibility Talisman near their house.

After Lan Tian and Zhao Li left, Grandma Sun and Zhao Li anxiously awaited their return. They were uneasy and couldn’t focus on anything; sometimes they worried about Chunhua coming to harm, other times about Lan Tian being in trouble. On the street, only people with strong backing or desperadoes dared to snatch people. No matter how they thought about it, both were extremely worried, occasionally walking to the courtyard gate to look out, hoping Chunhua was safe and the girl could save her.

Chun Mei seemed like a frightened bird, hiding in the yard. Whenever someone passed by, she panicly looked up, relieved secretly when it wasn’t someone coming for her.

Chun Mei was uneasy; she felt like she had caused trouble and vaguely guessed that something had happened to Chunhua because of her. She knew Yanhua was not a good person, someone who even tricked their parents, and yet she was foolishly tempted by small gains to associate with her.

Lately, Yanhua had been too diligent in seeking her out, fully aware that she was up to no good. Ignoring this, Chun Mei even took a set of clothes from Lan Tian for her.

Chun Mei was a bit selfish, but she was good to her family. She and Chunhua were blood sisters, and it pained her heart just as much knowing Chunhua was in trouble. The torment in her heart was like a knife twisting inside, unbearably painful.

No, she needed to return to Mo Village, she couldn’t stay here, and she couldn’t face Chunhua. Lan Tian, that grim reaper—if he found out this matter was related to her, he would surely flay her. The more Chun Mei thought about it, the more panicked she became, hesitantly approaching Grandma Sun to discuss her returning to Mo Village when Zhao Li suddenly burst out from outside the courtyard, shouting, "She’s back, she’s back, auntie, the girl Chunhua is back!"

She ran off after dropping this line. Grandma Sun dropped what she was doing and hurried to the courtyard entrance, seeing the returning pair with a smile finally appearing on her face, murmuring, "It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back." The girl was very stubborn and didn’t eat outside meals; having been gone for half a day, she must be hungry. Grandma Sun, feeling sorry, quickly went to the kitchen to prepare food for Lan Tian and the others.

At the courtyard entrance, Chun Mei glanced over, then turned and went back to her room.

As Zhao Li approached, she noticed something was wrong. From a distance, it looked like the two of them were walking back, but up close, she saw Chunhua leaning entirely on Lan Tian, her eyes not open, barely able to walk if not for Lan Tian’s support.

"Tiantian, what is...?" Anyone with eyes could see Chunhua’s abnormality. Zhao Li walked to the other side to offer support, concerned about Lan Tian, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I’m fine, auntie. Chunhua was drugged. We’ll talk more when we get back." It wasn’t the place for such talk, especially considering Chunhua’s reputation.

The two supported Chunhua into her room, tucked her in, then left. Grandma Sun served Lan Tian a bowl of noodles, adding greens and some meat, topped with two fried eggs. Lan Tian was really hungry, he started eating the noodles first, with Grandma Sun beside him constantly saying, "Slow down, slow down, be careful it’s hot."

After eating and drinking his fill, Lan Tian glanced around the room, not seeing Chun Mei, "Where is Chun Mei? Why don’t I see her?"

"She went back to her room; at this time, kids are sleeping," Grandma Sun explained with experience.

Lan Tian responded with an "oh" and didn’t ask further. He seemed to understand as if he were looking at a clear mirror; probably knowing she was back, Chun Mei had hidden herself. Lan Tian snorted coldly, now hiding after doing wrong was too late; if one has done something wrong, they must face the consequences.
