Suddenly, when Lu Chen was halfway through typing, the rich lady called.

"Hey."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and answered the phone first.

Soon, Lu Shuyu's calm voice came from the receiver.

"Lu Chen, where are you now?"

"Uh, I was out on business...what's going on?"

"Nothing, just wanted to ask..."

???

Good man, you don't look like everything is alright.

"What happened?"

Lu Chen was a little anxious: "Did you have a good chat with your parents last night?"

"We've talked about it..."

Lu Shuyu was silent for a while, and suddenly said briskly: "Lu Chen, I may not be able to meet you or contact you in the next few days~"

"..."

Although there was only sound, Lu Chen seemed to see that the rich young woman was forcing a smile and trying to appear as relaxed as possible.

He was slightly stunned and was about to ask something.

But Lu Shuyu interrupted him first:

"Okay, I'm fine. You have to take good care of Wanqing these days~"

"I'll call you when I can contact you~"

"That's it, bye~"

Along with the last very soft and suppressed "bye-bye", the only sound left in the receiver was the silent sound of "beep beep beep".

Lu Chen came to his senses and called back immediately.

But in just a few seconds, the rich woman's phone could no longer be dialed.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

"Sorry, the number you..."

Lu Chen put down his phone blankly, looking confused.

No, what's going on?

If Lu Guanghong was involved in some illegal or criminal activities, it would be fine if he could not contact the outside world during the investigation.

But why can’t Lu Shuyu contact me?

Want to cooperate with the investigation?

But it's only the second day.

It won’t be so quick for the truth to come out.

Previously, Lu Guanghong said that he would take three days to investigate the password, which means he is capable of delaying for a while.

But if it’s not because of this, what else could it be?

After standing there for a while, Lu Chen quickly found Lu Shuyue's WeChat and called her.

No one answered.

After thinking for a while, he found Butler Li's number.

Unexpectedly, the call was connected this time.

"Hey, Uncle Li, is there something going on over there?"

Before Butler Li could speak, Lu Chen asked anxiously:

"Shu Yu called me just now and said that she couldn't contact me in the next few days. Why is that?"

"..."

It was unclear whether the faint noise came from the other end of the phone or this end. After waiting for about five or six seconds, Lu Chen heard Butler Li sigh softly.

"Mr. Lu, the young lady will be away from Yanjiang for a few days."

Leaving Yanjiang?

Lu Chen was stunned: "Where is she going?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, she should contact you when she comes back."

Butler Li answered and didn't give Lu Chen a chance to speak again. He just said "Sorry, Mr. Lu, I have something to take care of here" and hung up the phone.

"Gululu..."

The sunlight was already somewhat dazzling. Passengers kept passing by, and the wheels of their suitcases rolled across the ground, making bursts of dull noises.

After a long while, Lu Chen finally turned his eyes away from the phone screen.

It doesn’t matter whether Butler Li “doesn’t know” or “doesn’t want to say”.

The important thing is that Lu Shuyu is indeed leaving Yanjiang.

Considering that it was only "a few days", it shouldn't be that he suddenly changed his mind and planned to follow Yu Lingzhi and the others to Europe.

But if she doesn't go to Europe, where will she go at this critical moment?

And no matter where you go, as long as it's not Antarctica, there is no mobile phone signal anywhere in the world, so why can't you contact yourself?

"..."

Another wave of passengers poured out from the exit. I glanced at the crowd and saw a middle-aged couple carrying large and small bags.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Chen forced a smile, put his phone back into his pocket, and walked quickly towards him.

Chapter 267 Status Reversal

"Excuse me, are you Uncle Qin and Aunt Fu?"

"Hmm? You are...Xiao Lu?"

"Yes, I'm Lu Chen."

"Ah, hello, hello!"

"..."

Two minutes later, when Lu Chen successfully "connected" with Qin's father and mother, he was a little surprised by the "politeness" shown by the latter.

Qin Jianyou took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with him, and even secretly wiped the sweat off his pants before shaking hands.

Fu Lanxia was watching nearby, carrying a large schoolbag, with a rather reserved smile.

How should I put it...it didn't feel like the father-in-law and mother-in-law meeting their future son-in-law.

It was more like meeting staff from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau who came to the restaurant to inspect the hygiene.

Although it cannot be called "respectful", it can be considered "cautious and cautious".

What?

Could it be that because I have had more contact with people like Lu Guanghong and Hu Shuo, I have also developed a leadership aura?

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Chen shook hands with Qin Jianyou with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, aunt, Wan Qing is in the hospital for a checkup. I'll take you to where you live to put down your luggage, and then we'll go see her."

"Okay, Xiaoqing told us everything."

Qin Jianyou has a slightly hunchback, probably because he has been working in front of the stove for a long time.

In addition, he was originally shorter than Lu Chen, so he looked a bit like he was "bowing" at this moment.

"Oh, thank you so much for coming to pick us up."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

Fu Lanxia also echoed, with a very guilty tone: "I could have come out earlier, but I brought a lot of things, so I got off the car a little late..."

"It's such a hot day, and I still let you wait outside..."

"..."

Damn, you don’t have to be so polite!

You guys have me a little confused!

I almost thought I was marrying off my daughter!

"Uh, no trouble, I just arrived too..."

Lu Chen smiled awkwardly. Seeing Fu Lanxia carrying a bag on her shoulders, he quickly reached out to help.

"Auntie, let me get it for you!"

"no, I'm fine!"

Fu Lanxia stepped back repeatedly: "Don't dirty your clothes."

"Auntie, what are you talking about? Let me do it!"

"Really? It's not sinking!"

"I'll do it, I'll do it..."

One was grabbing while the other was dodging. Suddenly, Lu Chen and Fu Lanxia started arguing outside the exit. The scene was a bit like the scene when people in Northeast China pay the bill after a meal, or the scramble for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

In the end, Qin Jianyou gave his wife a look, and Fu Lanxia stopped refusing. After hesitating for a moment, she handed the woven bag in her hand to Lu Chen.

And at the moment of taking action, Lu Chen was not paying attention and his body tilted obviously.

What the hell!

It’s so damn heavy!
