"Do you think I'm wrong too?"
Lu Fan frowned, "You believe Long Yi is a good person?"
"She's just a frail woman, and she's homeless. Why should you bother, sir?" Han Yunhai smiled, "I think you're being overly concerned."
"One doesn't just judge people by their appearance. She's definitely not simple!"
Lu Fan's expression was serious, "It's a pity I have no evidence!"
"Within the entire Dragon Country, who would dare oppose you? Long Yi is just a woman. If she truly had ulterior motives, I don't think it's to that extent!" Han Yunhai said frankly.
"Although I held back earlier, I still infused internal energy!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If she were truly a frail woman, she wouldn't just be bleeding from the corner of her mouth. She'd at least be on the ground for half the day. But look at her, though she appears frail, she's not as fragile as she seems."
"Perhaps her physique is stronger than other women!"
Han Yunhai said helplessly, "I don't see anything wrong with it!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan felt a sense of helplessness. He knew very well that some things were not as simple as they appeared, but no matter how much he said, no one would believe him.
If even Han Yunhai didn't believe his words, what about Jiang Meili and the others?
However, Lu Fan was curious about the reason for Long Yi's arrival.
It was a pity that even Lu Fan wasn't sure if Long Yi was a good person or a bad person. Otherwise, even if he had to use force, he wouldn't have allowed Long Yi to stay.
As night fell, Lu Fan felt a bit hungry and went to the living room. He glanced at the dining table and found that they had already finished eating. Lin Ke and the other two were sitting on the sofa watching television, chatting and laughing.
"Cough cough... Why didn't you call me for dinner?" Lu Fan coughed lightly.
"Because you injured my friend!"
Lin Ke rolled her eyes, "Unless you apologize to Long Yi, I won't forgive you!"
"I..." Lu Fan looked a bit embarrassed.
"Actually, it's not necessary!" Long Yi said coldly, "I don't want my presence to affect your relationship."
"See how sensible Long Yi is!" Jiang Meili rolled her eyes, "Lord Lu is like a guardian god. He should be more magnanimous. Otherwise, wouldn't he be looked down upon?"
At these words, Lu Fan's face turned ugly. He hadn't expected that when these women were together, they would make him seem so useless, leaving him feeling somewhat helpless.
"Xiao Ke, why has your complexion become paler recently?"
Lu Fan suddenly looked at Lin Ke, feeling quite curious.
"It's none of your business!" Lin Ke said angrily.
Lu Fan rubbed his nose, feeling a bit helpless. "Since you want to keep her here, then let her stay!"
"Really?"
Lin Ke's eyes lit up, "You agree?"
"Can I not agree?"
Lu Fan said helplessly, "Now can you tell me what's going on? Why is your complexion getting paler?"
"Actually, I don't know either. It's mainly because I've been too tired recently, or perhaps it's for other reasons."
Lin Ke shook her head, "I'm not sure of the specifics, but I do feel quite fatigued recently!"
Lu Fan frowned and moved to Lin Ke's side. After taking her pulse, he didn't detect anything. "Since you're tired, get more rest. Don't overwork yourself!"
"I know!"
Lin Ke smiled awkwardly. With the other two women present, if Lu Fan was too concerned about her, they might get jealous, which wouldn't be good.
Just as they were talking, an old man suddenly arrived outside the villa. He surveyed the villa surroundings before entering.
"Ninth Elder, to come so late at night, is there something amiss?" Lu Fan asked.
"Naturally, I have good news to tell Lord Lu!"
Ninth Elder smiled slightly and glanced at Long Yi, his brow furrowing, "Who is this? I haven't seen her before."
"She's my sister!"
Lin Ke said, "Since Elder is here, we won't disturb you!"
Lin Ke pulled Long Yi and the others towards the room. She knew very well that the Elder's visit must be for something important and couldn't be delayed.
After Lin Ke left, Lu Fan smiled, "Could it be news about the Cang Long Academy? If so, I'd be keen to hear it."
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, young Lu!"
Ninth Elder shook his head, "It's about the Yang family!"
"The Yang family?"
Lu Fan trembled slightly, "Could there be news about my maternal uncles?"
"After continuous investigation by the Dragon Country headquarters, we have finally confirmed the exact location of the Yang family."
Ninth Elder smiled, "It's in Donghai City!"
"That's great, truly great!"
Lu Fan was overjoyed. When he was in Chu Zhou, Lu Fan had spared no effort in searching for his maternal grandmother, Madam Liu. Now that there was news, it was indeed fortunate.
"I only just received the news, so I came to inform you. Shall I send someone to escort them to Dragon Capital?" Ninth Elder asked.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known this news!"
Lu Fan smiled, "But after so many years, I should naturally go to Donghai City in person!"
"Lord Lu intends to go in person?"
Ninth Elder was surprised, "Young Lu, your status is noble now. This trip is unnecessary!"
"In front of the Yang family, I am their nephew, not some Lord Lu!" Lu Fan said with a light laugh. "But no matter what, I must thank you. If not for the Dragon Country's assistance, I wouldn't have known the whereabouts of my grandmother and the others!"
"Why are you being so polite with us!"
Ninth Elder chuckled, "As long as we can help you, the headquarters will spare no effort. This is also the headquarters' attitude towards you!"
"When you return, please convey my thanks to all the elders!" Lu Fan clasped his hands solemnly.
"You're becoming more and more polite, kid!"
Ninth Elder rolled his eyes and didn't say anything further. He turned and left directly. This time, he personally came to inform Lu Fan to let him know that the Dragon Country was indebted to him. Whenever Lu Fan needed help, the Dragon Country would go all out.
After Ninth Elder left, Lu Fan was ecstatic. For so many years, he had mobilized many experts from the Qingyun Sect to investigate his grandmother's whereabouts, but there had been no progress. Now, the information came effortlessly.
Meanwhile, in the room, Long Yi was chatting happily with Lin Ke and the others. However, at this moment, Long Yi's gaze was fixed on the jade pendant on Lin Ke's neck.
"Sister Lin, your jade pendant is so beautiful!" Long Yi said with a smile.
"Of course, Xiao Ke has good taste!" Jiang Meili smiled.
"This jade pendant is so exquisite, I'm quite moved by it!" Long Yi said, "I have a jade token here. May I exchange it with Sister Lin? This way, we can also forge a sisterly bond!"
"This..."
Lin Ke hesitated, "This jade pendant has been with me since I was young. It might be a keepsake from my mother!"
