Everyone was shocked to see Jingtian Xiaojirou actually able to speak. Tanaka Umeko was so happy she almost cried, finally no longer having to spend the rest of her life with a fool.
"Mrs. Tanaka Umeko, I am truly sorry. I can only make him act like a normal person, but I can't restore his memory. I am truly sorry." Lu Fan removed all the silver needles, saying repeatedly.
"Mr. Lu Bian, I am extremely grateful, extremely grateful!" Tanaka Umeko said while thanking him, then took out a bank card and stuffed it into Lu Fan's hand. "This is two million yen, a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"
"Thank you! Thank you!" Lu Fan took the bank card, inwardly cursing, "Damn, it really is a small token, how could you even offer it."
Refusing Tanaka Umeko's invitation to stay, Lu Fan quickly left the villa. After changing taxis twice, Lu Fan finally arrived at the airport and boarded a flight to China.
When the plane landed at the provincial capital's airport, the sky was just beginning to lighten. Lu Fan got off the plane, found Liu Ruyan's car, and drove it back to the teahouse.
"Xiao Fan!" Seeing Lu Fan, Liu Ruyan rushed over.
Lu Fan scooped Liu Ruyan up and they tumbled onto the bed.
The next day, when the sky was fully bright, Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan appeared at the teahouse together.
"Brother Fan! You and Sister Ruyan were rolling around in bed for two days and didn't even come out to see me. Hmph!" Li Jingjing said indignantly when she saw Lu Fan.
For two days, she had seen Lu Fan's car parked downstairs at the teahouse, but Brother Fan never came out. She didn't dare go to Liu Ruyan's room to find him. Hmph! These two were too wicked!
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Fan said helplessly. He had no way to deal with these two little girls, Zhan Tai Ruomei and Li Jingjing.
"Hmph!" Li Jingjing puffed up her little nose and snorted, then pointed to two people in the corner of the teahouse. "Brother Fan! These two guys have been drinking tea here for two days."
Lu Fan smiled and gave Li Jingjing a thumbs-up. This girl was performing well, able to discern what kind of people were from the martial world.
Lu Fan walked towards the two men. Seeing Lu Fan approach, their expressions became somewhat flustered.
"Speak up! Which faction are you from?" Lu Fan sat directly at the table and asked.
"You... how did you know?" The two exchanged glances and asked.
"Hmph! I guess you're not ranked high. You're responsible for intelligence operations outside, aren't you?" Lu Fan said with a cold snort.
The two men's faces grew even more flustered.
"Who is your boss? Will you tell me yourselves, or should I make you tell me?" Lu Fan asked with a chilling expression.
"I... we'll tell... we'll tell..." The two clearly knew some things about Lu Fan. Hearing that Lu Fan was about to act, they quickly said,
"We are from the Hua Rong Prefecture Intelligence Department! Our boss is Hua Lao San."
"There are over six hundred of us, responsible for different areas. We specialize in collecting all sorts of information, from individuals to entire countries. We collect anything useful."
"Our main mission this time is to constantly monitor your movements, so that Hua Rong Prefecture knows your whereabouts at all times, as missions can arise anywhere, anytime."
"That's right, our boss also said that if you discovered us, we should tell the truth and not hide anything! Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died."
Before Lu Fan could ask, the two blurted everything out in a rush.
"Pay for the tea and get lost!" Lu Fan said angrily. Hua Lao San was somewhat self-aware, hmph! He was afraid Lu Fan would actually kill these two.
"Xiao Fan! Do you believe what they said is true?" Liu Ruyan asked anxiously after the two men left.
"With Jingjing here, do you still worry they're lying? They won't lie, they just didn't say everything. Hua Rong Prefecture has its own rules, and they won't say what they shouldn't." Lu Fan shook his head.
"Hmph! If they were lying, I would have seen it immediately. Sister Ruyan, don't worry." Li Jingjing said proudly from the side.
"Then... what are you going to do now?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Tanaka Umeko was the main person in charge of the Ya Chu Project. I have already erased that memory from her mind. However, there are still a few important contacts in the country that need to be dealt with. I have already sent the information to the people above, and I believe they will handle it better. Now I need to go back and understand Hua Rong Prefecture properly." Lu Fan rubbed his nose.
"The villa at home is built. I... I want to go back and see it!" Liu Ruyan suddenly said.
"Alright! Then let's go home first!" Lu Fan said with a smile. He naturally knew that Liu Ruyan wanted to go back because she considered herself the mistress of the house. If the mistress of the house always stayed outside, wouldn't the home be forgotten?
"Brother Fan, I'm going back too!" Li Jingjing said from the side. She really missed home.
"Okay! Let's go home together." Lu Fan said.
In Twelve Gou Village, the villa construction had begun. The villagers were very excited, as they would also be able to live in villas next year.
The weather was getting colder, and the villagers, like Lu Fan's family, had all built greenhouses. From a distance, the rows of greenhouses in the mountains and fields formed a landscape.
As Lu Fan's car drove to the villa gate, Mo Xiong immediately ordered people to open the gate and welcome them. He had now become the head butler of Lu Fan's household. Besides their bodyguards, they had hired over a dozen servants for laundry, cooking, gardening, and cleaning.
Lu Changfu and Zhao Rongrong had completely become the supreme rulers. Every day, besides eating and drinking, they would dress neatly and stroll around the village. Everyone they met greeted them with smiles. This was the father of the God of Wealth; no one dared to offend them!
"Xiao Fan! Ruyan!" Seeing Liu Ruyan had also returned, Zhao Rongrong was overjoyed. She immediately grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand. This was her future daughter-in-law.
"Mom!" Liu Ruyan called out shyly.
"Oh... oh, oh..." Zhao Rongrong was so happy that she almost jumped when Liu Ruyan called her Mom. She pulled Liu Ruyan over and asked her about everything.
Not far away, Wang Yan's eyes blazed when she saw Lu Fan return. However, seeing Liu Ruyan beside Lu Fan, she felt as if she had been doused with cold water again. Alas! The main wife was back, and tonight she would still have to sleep alone on a cold bed. Hmph!
However, even though she was unhappy, she couldn't show it on her face. She pushed her chin up with her fingers, put on a smile, and ran over, snatching Liu Ruyan from Zhao Rongrong's grasp, and then hugged her.
"Sister Ruyan! I've missed you so much!"
...
Zhao Rongrong pouted from the side. When did you miss me so much?
