Lin Qing gave a wry smile and said, "If it were a year ago, maybe. But now."
Li Chonglou's heart skipped a beat, and a hidden joy bloomed within him.
"Did something really happen to the Yu family? Can you tell me about it?"
The two exchanged a glance. Yu Qing said with some difficulty, "Little Li, I'm sorry, but family matters are not easy to discuss. I can only say that the Yu family is not as united as before. Everyone is only looking out for themselves, alas."
Although Yu Qing claimed family matters were hard to discuss, she had actually revealed the biggest problem. Li Chonglou didn't know if she did it intentionally or unintentionally.
In any case, after hearing this and combining it with what happened at the entrance earlier, Li Chonglou had a general judgment. At the same time, he had a guess about Yue Hai and Yu Ke's situation.
"It's alright, Sister Qing. But can I search outside on my own?"
Yu Qing shook her head. "This is a critical time. You can't move around freely outside. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you back directly."
Yu Qing stated the reason, and Li Chonglou frowned.
"Then how can I find him?"
At this moment, he wanted to mention Yu Ke's situation, but it was Lin Qing who offered a suggestion.
"Wife, why don't we let him go with the patrol team to search? If we explain it properly, it should be fine, right?"
Patrol team?
While Li Chonglou was confused, Yu Qing's face clearly showed hesitation.
"Wife?"
Yu Qing then forced a smile and nodded. "That's the only way then. Little Li, shall I send you down now?"
This was a clear sign of wanting him to leave. Li Chonglou understood and nodded. Then, accompanied by the two, he descended to the first floor, while Yu Qing also made a phone call.
About five minutes later, five men in blue security uniforms walked over.
"Sister Qing, is this the gentleman?"
The leader was a man in his forties with a horse-like face and small eyes, looking imposing.
Yu Qing nodded calmly. "Then I'll trouble Captain Xiang."
Afterward, Li Chonglou left with Xiang You, the man with the horse-like face.
After everyone had left, Lin Qing's smiling expression suddenly changed.
"Wife, did something else happen?"
Lin Qing had already sensed something was wrong. Knowing his wife as well as he did, her reaction just now when she asked him to greet the patrol team shouldn't have been like that.
Yu Qing remained silent for a few seconds.
"When we came in just now, he had a conflict with that scoundrel Yu Tianba. The patrol team is close to Yu Tianba. I'm a little worried he'll be discovered by Yu Tianba and retaliate."
Lin Qing was stunned for only a second before understanding the hidden details. He quickly asked, "So what did that guy do to you? And then Little Li helped you?"
Yu Qing gave a wry smile. "Husband, sometimes I really think it's not good to be too smart."
Lin Qing said solemnly, "Wife, just tell me. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Yu Qing sighed. "That scoundrel hit me. He was going to make a move, but Little Li helped me, so I brought him in. Little Li doesn't know about the pass."
In a few simple sentences, she recounted what had happened. However, Lin Qing did not show any excessive emotions. Instead, he hugged Yu Qing tightly.
"Wife, I'm sorry you had to endure this. Don't worry, I'll help you get even."
"No, husband, Little Li already beat him back for me. The situation is not optimistic now, let's not cause any more trouble."
"Yes, I'll listen to you. By the way, are you perhaps too trusting of Little Li? Can you say those things to him? What if he spreads them..."
Yu Qing smiled faintly. "Husband, have you forgotten which company Xiao Ke joined?"
"Tong Gu Ming,"
Lin Qing suddenly realized, but then another doubt arose.
"Then why did you still let him go with Xiang You? Didn't you say you were worried Yu Tianba would find out?"
This was too contradictory, making even Lin Qing, who considered himself intelligent, full of confusion.
Yu Qing calmly said, "Isn't it a good opportunity to observe him by using this chance? Otherwise, how can we be assured of Xiao Ke being with him?"
Lin Qing finally understood and nodded.
Indeed, Yu Ke, as a member of the Yu family, was now following another boss. They had to inspect him before they could be at ease.
Meanwhile, after Li Chonglou left the property with Xiang You, he got into a sightseeing vehicle.
"Hello, I'm Xiang You, the patrol captain for this area. You can call me Captain Xiang."
Although Xiang You's tone was calm, who would introduce themselves by directly stating their captaincy? This clearly carried a hint of arrogance.
Li Chonglou didn't mind and nodded, introducing himself.
Xiang You continued, "Sister Qing has already told me. Guests from outside are not received in this area. I'll take you there first."
The sightseeing vehicle was not slow. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at another property. Compared to the luxurious villas before, this area consisted of ordinary three-story foreign-style houses.
Although not bad, it was clearly a step down in class.
"We in the Yu family have our rules. All outsiders who wish to visit the central district must have a pass, and their identity must be verified upon entry. Therefore, at other times, they are confined to this area."
Xiang You pointed to the foreign-style houses ahead. Li Chonglou nodded, but at this moment, the vehicle turned in another direction.
Li Chonglou immediately asked with confusion, "Didn't you say it was up ahead?"
Xiang You's voice suddenly turned cold. "You'll come with me to see someone first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the security guards who were sitting beside them immediately crowded over, exuding a strong sense of threat.
Li Chonglou's expression changed. A figure flashed in his mind – it was Yu Tianba, with whom he had had a conflict not long ago.
It seemed he had walked into a trap.
Now that he was on someone else's territory, and they were all ordinary people, if he didn't act first unless absolutely necessary, it would cause considerable trouble again.
Thinking of his recent phone call with Lin Qianqian and the suspicion he had faced, Li Chonglou couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Xiang You, sitting in front, saw this expression and assumed Li Chonglou was cowering. A look of smugness appeared on his face.
"Behave yourself. In front of Young Master Tianba, Sister Qing can't protect you at all. If anything happens later, I advise you not to tell Sister Qing, or you'll be responsible for any trouble it brings her!"
Li Chonglou ignored him and turned his head to look at the scenery outside.
No, outwardly he was looking at the scenery, but inwardly he had already merged his soul with Rainbow.
Under the divine power of Heavenly Eye Vision, the buildings ahead were all blurred, and figures appeared in his field of vision.
The entire residential area was only about a thousand square meters. If he could circle the perimeter, Li Chonglou could roughly survey everyone inside.
This was undoubtedly much more efficient than blindly searching for Yue Hai.
It was a pity that Xiang You had no intention of circling around.
