Before leaving, the royal guards returned the phone to Lu Qingheng. He opened the phone and selected some important messages to reply.

In this way, Lu Qingheng and Xu Meir spent a night peacefully.

The next day, Lu Qingheng received a text message:

Father: [I have someone come to pick you up. We will talk about other matters in detail when we get home.]

Lu Qingheng replied: [Okay, father, you have worked hard]

Father: [ImageJPG]

Father: [This is the contact information of the person who will be sent to pick you up]

Lu Qingheng: [OK]

Then the conversation between the two ended, and Lu Qingheng turned his gaze to Xu Meir.

Xu Meir, who was sitting next to him, noticed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man said, "The Lu family will be here to pick me up soon, and we can go home now."

"Really? That's great. Who's coming to pick you up? Is it someone you know?"

"I don't think he knows me." The boy opened the picture and showed it to her. "My father sent me his number."

"Then give him a call and ask him when he will arrive, so you can prepare early."

"Okay." The boy made a call and the other end was quickly connected.

"Master, what are your orders?"

It was obvious that the person on the other end knew the boy's number. Xu Meir lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The boy asked the question mentioned above, and the person on the other end of the phone respectfully replied, "About 30 minutes."

After hanging up the phone, the boy tilted his head and said, "Come with me."

"Okay," Xu Meir agreed, but then added, "I don't want them to know that I've been hiding here. If I'm discovered, people will inevitably think too much, which is not good for you and the Lu family. So, I want to avoid their sight and get in the car."

Of course the boy didn't want to hide, but with the Lu family's status and position, he would inevitably attract attention from all sides. If he appeared with her and was discovered, she might be implicated in the murder case again... This was not what he wanted to see.

"Okay," he agreed, "I'll try to lure them away."

"Go hide in the closet first. After we leave the room, go out the back door on the first floor. I will lead them away and you can get in the car."

Xu Meir shook her head: "This is too troublesome, and it's easy to be discovered. So, you ask them to park the car under the window, then lead them away, and I will go down from the window and get in the car."

"No." The boy disagreed. "I didn't know before, but I can't let you do that this time. It's so dangerous to go down from the window. What if something happens?"

"No, I've been to higher places than this. Have you forgotten?"

The boy recalled the scene when she first met him, when she was hugging that tall tree and then quickly sliding down. The fear he felt at that time came back to him: "But..."

"No buts, this is the safest way," Xu Meir looked at him firmly, "You have to believe me too."

But agreeing with her idea doesn't mean not trusting her. The boy finally swallowed this sentence in his heart and compromised: "Okay, but you must pay attention to safety. Nothing is more important than safety. Even if you are accidentally discovered, it's okay, right?"

"Yes." She agreed.

30 minutes passed quickly and the car back to the Lu family arrived. At this time, the royal guards had already evacuated, leaving only the Lu family.

"Young Master, are you ready? If you are, shall we go back to the Lu family?" There was a knock on the door, and the Lu family's bodyguards stood outside the door waiting.

Xu Meir turned around and hid in the closet.

The young man looked back at the tightly closed closet, worry flashing across his clear eyes. He opened the door with a click, blocking the view of the two bodyguards outside:

"How many of you are here? How many cars did you drive over?"

One of the bodyguards said, "The master ordered six of us to come here with three cars. The master said that we should not be too high-profile when we return this time. After all, public opinion is still unstable."

The boy hid the emotion in his eyes: "Where did you park the car?"

The bodyguard said, "At the gate."

The gate the bodyguard mentioned refers to the door outside the building where the boy lives, which is some distance away from the building.

The boy frowned slightly. "Does that mean I still have to walk a distance? Can't I park the car downstairs?"

"Okay," the bodyguard picked up the phone, "I'll call and ask them to park downstairs."

"Wait," the boy stopped him. He opened the door a little and pointed to the window of the room. "Park the car under the window."

The bodyguard didn't understand why, but he agreed anyway.

"It may be difficult to explain over the phone, so you two should just go down and talk to them in person. I just happen to have some things that I haven't packed yet."

Both bodyguards hesitated.

"Go ahead. Is there anything else that could happen to me here?"

The bodyguard thought about it and felt that it was true. They were worrying too much: "Okay, Master, we will go down first. Please wait a moment."

"Well," the boy replied, "no rush."

After they left, the boy closed the door again, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, picked up the backpack beside the bed, took two steps forward, paused, and said softly: "I'm leaving, be careful."

"Hmm." He heard a unclear sound coming from the direction of the closet.

He turned and left, and the door closed with a click.

Xu Meir walked out of the closet, went to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain. At this time, the space under the window was still empty.

Lu Qingheng was sitting in the living room downstairs. When the bodyguard parked the car and walked in, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Okay," the two bodyguards took a half step back, "Young Master, please go first."

When Lu Qingheng walked outside, he saw three black cars parked right under the window as he had said. The bodyguard noticed his gaze and asked, "Master, which car do you want to take?"

The boy looked around and saw the car in the front was a better place to observe the situation: "The one in the front."

"Okay, young master." The bodyguard stepped forward and opened the back door.

The boy got on the bus, and when everyone was seated, he suddenly thought of something: "Oh no! My watch is gone!"

Bodyguard: "Watch?"

"Yes, it's the watch that my father bought at the Imperial Capital Auction for 100 million yuan."

The bodyguard gasped: "Do you remember where you put it?"

"It must have been accidentally left somewhere in this building. Go and help me find it."

"Okay," the bodyguard was anxious after hearing such an expensive watch, "Let's go right away!"

"Wait," the boy said again, "all of you go and search from the first floor up slowly."

"Okay." The bodyguard also felt that it would be easier to find him with more people.

"I'll go with you," the young man said anxiously, "You guys look carefully on the first floor, I'll go to my room and take a look. We have to find something this important."

"Master, don't you need to leave someone to guard downstairs?"

"No, nothing can happen here. The most important thing now is the watch."

"Okay." The leading bodyguard quickly asked everyone to get out of the car and search the room.

Lu Qingheng deliberately did not close the car door properly. The bodyguard who was the driver looked back in confusion. Lu Qingheng stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the car keys, I'll close it."

The bodyguard was carefully trained by the Lu family. He had special respect for the future heir of the Lu family. After hearing this, he handed over the key without hesitation and turned to go into the building.

After pausing for dozens of seconds, Lu Qingheng followed the six bodyguards into the car. No one noticed that there was a small gap in the black car door.
