The twins panicked when they heard the lock being picked.
“He’s picking the lock!” “What do we do, brother?” Erbao asked anxiously.
“We’ll just have to call the police.”
Dabao dialed 911 on the telephone.
“The number you have dialed does not exist.” Said the voice on the telephone.
The number that Dabao dialed only worked overseas. Ning Ran had not told him that the number for the local emergency hotline was 110 instead of 911.
“How is it?” Erbao asked anxiously.
“I can’t get through! What do we do?” Dabao frowned deeply.
The lock was still being picked from the outside. Had they not locked the door from the inside as well, it would’ve been opened by now.
“Yeah, what do we do?!” Erbao began to cry.
They were just kids, after all. This was way too stressful for them to handle.
If someone was trying to force their way into the house, even an adult would panic, let alone a child.
“Let me try again. Don’t worry, big brother will protect you.” Dabao comforted his sister, even though he had also gone pale from fear.
He dialed 911 again, but it was still useless.
Suddenly, Dabao realized he had called the wrong number.
“911 isn’t the number for the local emergency hotline?” Dabao asked Erbao.
Erbao shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“I’ll check online.” Dabao rushed into the study.
Erbao was afraid of being alone and rushed into the study with her brother, shutting the door behind her.
Dabao did a quick search and found out the number local emergency hotline was 110 instead of 911.
Just as he was about to go back to the living room to make the call, the door had been forced open.
Dabao quickly grabbed his sister’s head and had her hide under the desk.
The door to the study was kicked open and Lu Yong appeared before them.
He had never seen such a beautiful face on a child before. At first glance, he felt like he’d seen it before somewhere.
However, he couldn’t recall where at the time. The reason why it seemed familiar to him was because the child looked like Nan Chen.
Lu Yong hated Nan Chen the most, as he thought Nan Chen was the one who stole Luo Fei away from him.
Lu Yong has sworn countless times as he looked at Nan Chen’s photos, that he would kill him sooner or later.
But Nan Chen was the “King of Flower City”. Lu Yong didn’t even have a chance to get close to him. Besides, Luo Fei wouldn’t let him harm Nan Chen either.
Lu Yong was a little shocked as he saw this child’s face.
Why does he look so familiar? Where has he seen him before?
“Who are you?!” “What do you want?!” Dabao tried to put on a tough act, but he was trembling in fear.
“You’re the only one home?”
Lu Yong looked at the child and felt his heart soften. He started to get hesitant.
He wasn’t evil by nature. He was just a man who was willing to do anything for Luo Fei because he loved her so much.
“Aunt Xiang went out to buy some groceries.” Dabao said calmly.
Erbao was shaking uncontrollably under the desk.
“Aunt Xiang?”
Lu Yong remembered that when he followed Ning Ran yesterday, there was another girl with short hair with her. The two had entered the house together.
“Please have a seat, mister. I’ll pour you a glass of water.”
Dabao walked towards Lu Yong and tried to lead him into the living room. That way, no matter what happened, his sister would be safe under the desk.
Lu Yong was surprised at how calm this kid was, and began to suspect whether that short-haired girl was really shopping for groceries. Would she be home soon?
If so, he would have to hurry it up and leave as soon as possible.
“Hey kid, you’re Ning Ran’s child?” Lu Yong asked.
“Yes, mister. Are you mommy’s friend?” Dabao asked.
Dabao was close to collapsing from fear at this point.
But he had to remain calm in order to protect his sister. He bit his lips every time he spoke, as the pain helped relieve some of his fear.
Lu Yong didn’t know how to answer the child’s question.
Obviously, he wasn’t Ning Ran’s friend. He had come here with evil intentions.
But when faced with such a polite child, his hesitation really kicked in.
