Chapter 962 Xiaolu, why did you come back to China?
Liu Lu pushed aside the vines and crawled inside. The mottled wooden door creaked softly behind him, as if separating two worlds.
Suddenly, the view opened up before me, revealing a courtyard brimming with life, its greenery neatly trimmed.
The stark contrast to the bleak autumn scenery outside left him momentarily disoriented.
He followed his vague senses and walked in, passing through a small courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, where the door of a house at the end was ajar.
Just as I stepped onto the steps, a loud sneeze suddenly came from behind me, with a distinct choking sensation.
Just as Liu Lu stepped onto the two steps in the center of the courtyard, the sneeze came clearly.
He paused, turned around, and walked towards the house from which the sound came, gently pushing open the half-closed door.
Inside the house, Qi Haoyu was tidying up the trash on the table with his back to the door.
There were opened cans of ham and instant noodles on the side, and the kettle on the tea machine was still steaming.
Hearing the door open, the person turned around abruptly, and the two froze the moment their eyes met.
Qi Haoyu stared at Liu Lu at the door, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Xiao Lu? How did you get back to China? And how did you manage to find your way here?"
Liu Lu strode into the house, his gaze sweeping over Qi Haoyu's face, his tone filled with urgency and worry:
"Haoyu, it really is you! When I received your message, I was worried that something had really happened to you."
As soon as I got off the plane, I rushed back to our little nest... to retrieve my things as you instructed.
Qi Haoyu threw down the trash in his hand, his eyes reddening, and suddenly stepped forward to hug Liu Lu tightly.
Her voice, filled with suppressed grievances and excitement, said, "Xiao Lu, do you know how much I've missed you? You're finally back."
"I am Haoyu as well. I rushed back as soon as I received your fax."
Liu Lu hugged him, and the anxiety in her heart seemed to dissipate most of it at that moment.
Driven by their emotions, the two grew closer and closer.
Qi Haoyu's breath was warm, carrying the grievances he had been hiding for days. His breath brushed past Liu Lu's ear, causing a slight shiver to run through him.
Liu Lu raised his hand and gently touched Qi Haoyu's cheek with his fingertips. There were traces of fatigue left by his travels, but he still looked familiar.
Qi Haoyu held his hand and pressed his cheek against his palm, as if drawing a long-lost sense of peace.
He tilted his head slightly, his lips brushing against Liu Lu's fingertips with a careful and cherished touch.
Liu Lu felt as if something had gently bumped into his heart, and he involuntarily leaned forward.
The moment their foreheads touched, their breaths mingled, carrying an indescribable intimacy.
Qi Haoyu's gaze was deep, reflecting Liu Lu's figure. There was longing, worry, and the joy of regaining what was lost.
He slowly lowered his head, his lips gently landing on Liu Lu's lips, carrying a tenderness he had long restrained.
Liu Lu closed his eyes, responding to the familiar touch, and all his unease and anxiety seemed to find a place to rest at this moment.
Their actions lacked deliberate enthusiasm; rather, they conveyed the cherished feeling of a long-awaited reunion.
It is the warmth of embracing each other in adversity, as if drawing strength from this brief embrace and love to keep going.
After a brief period of passionate lovemaking, the two separated slightly, their foreheads still touching, their breaths slightly rapid, but their eyes held a newfound certainty.
This unspoken understanding is already etched in each other's hearts, becoming the source of confidence to move forward through wind and rain.
After calming down for a moment, Liu Lu put his hand on Haoyu's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Haoyu,
What exactly did you hide? You told me to retrieve it at our usual spot, but I've been looking for ages and can't find it.
Qi Haoyu was taken aback upon hearing this, and suddenly sat up straight: "Xiao Lu, what did you say? I didn't send you a fax asking you to come back and pick up your things."
"How could this be?" Liu Lu was also stunned. "You said in your fax that you were in trouble."
"I can't leave right now, so I need to go and retrieve the things I've hidden in the usual spot as soon as possible."
Qi Haoyu's face darkened: "It seems our contact information has been discovered."
After I transferred 200 million to your account, I discovered I was being followed; there were informants at the airport and the dock.
So I fled and hid all the way here before I was temporarily safe, and I haven't sent any more faxes since then.
Liu Lu's heart jumped: "Haoyu, do you know who's tracking you?"
"It must be that brat, the living devil." Qi Haoyu frowned.
"Master Jing? Why is he targeting you?" Liu Lu asked, puzzled.
"During the Spring Festival, the brat and An Jinsong's daughter An Ran got their marriage certificate and notarized a prenuptial agreement."
I suspect his next step is to acquire Ansteel Technology.
The air in the room instantly became heavy. Liu Lu looked at Qi Haoyu's wary expression.
Thinking back to the suspicious fax I received, I suddenly realized—
His return to China this time may have been a carefully designed trap from the very beginning.
This seemingly secluded courtyard may already be under someone's watchful eye, and danger is silently approaching.
Liu Lu felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled all the experiences he had had since returning to China.
Those seemingly coincidental encounters suddenly took on an eerie hue.
He looked at Qi Haoyu, his voice tense: "What do we do now? We..."
Before he could finish speaking, a slight noise came from outside, as if someone had broken a tree branch.
Both fell silent. Qi Haoyu abruptly stood up, his eyes warily fixed on the doorway—
This secluded courtyard didn't seem as safe as they had thought.
