Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

It was another unsigned text message.

Lu Chengzhou stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He was even more confused now.

Both text messages came from unfamiliar numbers, so there's a high probability they were sent to him by two different people.

Therefore, it can only be Meng Wanyu and Meng Jingting.

"Couldn't you have signed your name at the end of the text message?"

One said he was coming to see him, while the other said not to trust invitations from strangers. Were they playing Werewolf here?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to ignore both text messages.

Anyway, the place he's in now is the safest place.

Going out rashly might really be unsafe.

……

late at night.

Master Meng still stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant night sky.

"The person who went to gather information hasn't returned yet?"

"Ah, it seems we've run into some trouble."

The assistant said that they have increased manpower and expanded the search area.

"Where are Ayu and Ating?"

Master Meng then inquired about the condition of his daughters.

The old father was pleased to learn that the two of them rarely left the house, but his joy lasted only a few seconds before his face hardened again.

"I told you, when they have nothing to do, I'll let them go to the library and read some books!"

Why don't they read books?

"Summon them both to see me. I want to test their knowledge!"

The assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded in agreement.

The master is unreasonable.

If someone specifically requests to see a particular person, then that person must be seen immediately, even if it's one of their daughters.

So, less than ten minutes later, the Meng sisters, Wanyu and Jingting, were summoned to this room.

The atmosphere was very serious and tense when the father and daughter met.

Meng Wanyu arrived in a hurry, still wearing her bear pajamas.

As for her older sister, she hadn't washed up yet, but was dressed formally and quite appropriately.

Based on her past experience with her father, Meng Wanyu would get scolded several times for not wearing formal attire.

Meng Wanyu's heart sank, and the smile on her face became forced.

Just as he was thinking about how to find an excuse to absolve himself, Master Meng skipped over the part about criticizing their clothes and appearance.

"I'm going to test your studies."

Master Meng sat upright, looking at the two of them seriously.

"Assistant, bring the exam papers."

Soon, two sets of financial management exam papers were placed in front of the two sisters.

Meng Wanyu stared at the scroll, which was as long as a hada (a ceremonial scarf), and was speechless with astonishment.

The older sister also sighed with a wry smile.

"Same as always, 90 minutes, do as much as you can."

Master Meng tapped the table.

"Take this seriously, don't disappoint me too much."

This test paper is definitely not something you can finish in 90 minutes.

Meng Wanyu hasn't been reading those obscure and difficult financial management reference books lately, and when she picks up a pen, she can't put any words down.

Her hands were trembling.

My older sister isn't much better off.

Ever since she played games with Lu Chengzhou all night, all she could think about was his image and voice, and she lost all motivation.

In their current state, what's the point of them even doing the test?

It would be better to just accept the punishment.

After a difficult hour of wrangling, Meng Wanyu was the first to surrender.

"Dad, I can't do this test paper, please punish me."

Meng Jingting echoed her sister's words.

With a livid face, Master Meng gave them a stern lecture in sharp words.

My younger sister is used to being scolded and doesn't show any sadness or shed a tear.

The older sister, however, kept her head down, her heart heavy, and her eyes red.

"Why have you both regressed so much?"

The two sisters trembled simultaneously at Master Meng's sudden question.

That's the key point.

The reasons for the regression are actually the same.

It's all because of Lu Chengzhou.

Master Meng looked at his two daughters.

He couldn't believe that both of them had lost their will to become strong and turned into love-struck fools because of the same man.

He interrogated Meng Wanyu first.

"Ayu, tell me, where is that kid Lu Chengzhou right now?"

Meng Wanyu lowered her head and remained silent.

"You know the consequences of concealing it."

Meng Wanyu pursed her lips, but decided to remain silent.

Just then, her phone beeped with a text message notification.

The two sisters widened their eyes simultaneously and instinctively covered their pockets.

Master Meng stared at them with sharp eyes.

He waved his hand, signaling his assistant to come forward and take the phone.

Meng Wanyu's emotions instantly crumbled.

She immediately stood up, rushed to the window, and threw her phone into the pool outside.

"you……!"

Master Meng raised his hand, and a slap was about to land.

He stopped him again.

Meng Wanyu took a deep breath and said the boldest thing she had ever said: "Dad, I'm almost an adult. Please stop interfering in my life, okay?"

Just then, there was a knock on the half-open door.

Lu Chengzhou, who lived across the hall, yawned and asked:

"Everyone, it's late, could you please keep your voices down?"

222. We need to find a way to establish a relationship with Master Meng.

Lu Chengzhou's voice almost made their hearts stop.

How could this be?!

I clearly let him hide it well!

Even if my dad's men find me, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Mr. Meng's assistant quickly stepped forward and apologized to Lu Chengzhou.

Then, he quickly closed the door.

The hotel was budget-friendly and the soundproofing wasn't very good.

Of course, even with the best soundproofing, it's all for nothing if you don't close the door.

Master Meng didn't take the young man across the street seriously either. He only glanced at him before continuing to scrutinize his two daughters.

Now that his whereabouts had been exposed, he stopped pretending and only wanted a quick victory.

"I need to see Lu Chengzhou within 24 hours."

Master Meng tapped the table.

"If either of you has any leads, you'd better tell me."

"Don't wait until the deadline has passed."

"My patience isn't that great."

Hearing him say that, the Meng sisters nodded.

Master Meng waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
