My Youth Began With Him

“Let’s decide it with scissors, paper, rock. The one who loses must do it,” someone suggested.

“Damn it. Scissors, paper, rock again? Can’t we do something new?” another guy complained.

“Like what?”

“Fight the Landlord…”

Everyone stared at him in disdain.

Finally, they chose an unlucky guy through the child’s game of scissors, paper, rock. The loser mustered his courage and walked to the door to the inner cabin.

“Boss…” he called out softly.

There was no response from inside…

“Boss… We’re almost there. Please get up.”

Still no response…

Mustering his courage, he raised his voice and yelled, “Boss… It’s time to get up…”

Before he could finish, the door was swung open with a bam.

Meanwhile, the black muzzle of a gun was held against his head.

“Stop screaming. Don’t you know that anyone who disturbs my sleep will get killed?”

“Boss… We’re almost there. The plane is descending. You’d better get prepared to reunite with your sister,” The guy was smart and mentioned Huo Mian to calm down his boss.

Sure enough, Lu Yan’s mood lightened, and she withdrew the gun.

“Fine. I’m in a good mood and will forgive you guys.”

She turned around and checked the flight information; sure enough, they had arrived at C City.

Leaning against the headboard lazily, she turned on the watch and dialed a familiar number.

Ten seconds later, the call went through.

“Yan, what’s up?”

“Dad, guess where I’m now?”

“In the U.S.?” Professor Lu thought his daughter came to see him.

“No. I don’t want to go to the U.S. I’m afraid to alert the FBI; after all, I’m on the list of red notices.” Lu Yan chuckled.

“You sound happy. Are you going to visit your sister?”

“You do know me, Dad. Bingo.” Lu Yan laughed.

“I told you many times not to…” Before he could finish, Lu Yan interrupted him.

“Dad, don’t lecture me, okay? This is a world for us young people. If I was a coward, I wouldn’t have gone into this profession. Besides, after my sister was kidnapped by Huo Siqian, Ian and Nalo’s men had confronted my brother-in-law’s people head-on. Ian is a psycho but not stupid; he must know my sister’s identity now. So, it’s no use for me to hide from the public view and stay away from my own sister. On the contrary, I think I can better protect my sister if I’m with her. After all, this is China and they can’t do whatever they want here. Don’t worry.”

“Okay. Whenever I try to lecture you, you got countless reasons to rebuff me.” Professor Lu sounded resigned.

“Of course. My parents are both geniuses. I think very fast.” Lu Yan was smug.

“Don’t be so smug. After you see your sister, tell me how she’s doing.”

“If you miss her, why don’t you call her?” Lu Yan asked.

Professor Lu: “…”

“Oh. I see… Dad, you’re afraid to feel awkward when you talk to her?”

“Okay. I’m busy. Goodbye.” Without answering his daughter, the professor ended the video call.

Lu Yan turned her watch off with a faint smile.

Feeling bored at home, Huo Mian had returned to work at South Side with Qin Chu’s permission. But she wasn’t too busy with a much lighter workload than before.

“Director, someone offered a high price at the registration office to see you. Shall we accept it?” Chen Jie entered her office and reported in a low voice.

Huo Mian looked up in surprise.
