Luo Qianqian waited until all the papers were collected before she neatly packed up her pens, paper, and trash and then sat at her spot waiting for her brother. By the time Xu Tianyi left the classroom, there were no other people left besides the two of them. Xu Tianyi slowly moved towards the classroom door and, upon seeing Luo Shufan running this way, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the classroom.
"Qianqian, let’s go," Luo Shufan said as he saw no one else in the classroom. He couldn’t help complaining about being seated in the last row and having to collect the papers, making his sister wait so long.
"I was just thinking it’s so cold today, why don’t we go for some hot oil noodles?" Luo Qianqian said after seeing her brother. She stuffed everything she was holding into his arms and casually threw the trash into the bin by the door, then clutched her stomach with a pitiful look.
Luo Shufan blurted out, "Aren’t you afraid of losing them?"
Luo Qianqian stood aside, staring at her brother’s face: "Don’t we have Uncle Driver? They said he’s at our disposal, you wouldn’t neglect to use such a resource, would you?"
Luo Shufan touched his wallet with a wry smile. He had planned to go home to drop off his things before going out to eat, so he didn’t carry much money with him. However, since his sister wanted noodles, it probably wouldn’t be expensive.
"Alright, but once we’re done eating, we have to go back, okay? I didn’t bring much money; I’m afraid it won’t be enough for going out to play."
"Sure~" Luo Qianqian turned, her face full of excitement, just like a truly carefree six or seven-year-old child: "But, I also want some ice cream~"
Luo Shufan helplessly packed up everything, took his sister’s hand, and said softly, "If you can eat it."
Thinking about what to eat, they quickly reached the parked car. Climbing into the car, Luo Qianqian hurriedly told the driver with an urgent look, "Uncle, please take us to the restaurant with the best hot oil noodles~"
"That..." The driver hesitated, considering what Young Master Luo had said earlier but still replied, "Alright."
The car drove along the road, and Luo Qianqian whispered to her brother about what gifts to bring home for the family.
Just as Luo Qianqian was about to ask why they hadn’t arrived yet, she noticed the car was moving on an almost deserted road. Suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat, she tightly grabbed onto her brother’s hand.
"What’s the matter, Qianqian?" Luo Shufan felt his sister’s hand gripping his tightly, her palm full of sweat. He became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong?"
Luo Qianqian glanced at the driver’s eyes in the rearview mirror and quickly dodged them. Pretending to be anxious, she said to her brother, "Brother, give me the scratch paper, I think I got the question wrong earlier." As she spoke, she pulled out pen and paper from Luo Shufan’s backpack.
Seeing Luo Qianqian scribbling, the driver kindly turned on the car’s interior light, relieved, and continued driving.
Luo Qianqian wrote on the paper: Brother, look outside.
Luo Shufan, seeing his sister pulling him like she had a question, turned his head to look outside as soon as he read the words on the paper. Seeing the scenery outside, his face also went pale. He was about to speak but was stopped by Luo Qianqian, who continued to write: Don’t let him realize we’ve noticed.
She then pretended to ask: "Brother, is this how we do the auxiliary line?"
Luo Shufan took the pen with trembling hands and wrote: Why? Is it to ask Big Brother Yan for a ransom?
His voice shaking, he managed to say, "Yes," but couldn’t speak further.
"Oh no, I’ll forget..." Luo Qianqian said, pretending to be flustered, then she spoke to the driver, "Uncle, take us back to the hotel first. I’m afraid I’ll forget, I need to write it down. We can eat later."
The driver sighed. It seemed they had been discovered, so he said, "Young Master Luo is still waiting for you.
Luo Qianqian was taken aback. The man from yesterday who had called her brother had never introduced himself, but it was clear that he was a member of the Luo Family. The driver from yesterday had only referred to Luo Yanran as "boss"; today, they had a different driver, but the car was the same as yesterday’s, which is why the siblings hadn’t been suspicious. Could it be that the driver had been switched? Luo Qianqian’s thoughts raced, her face anxious.
Luo Shufan, however, gripped his sister’s hand tightly and asked, "The Young Master Luo you mentioned, is he Big Brother Yan?"
Big Brother Yan? Which one? Which Young Master Luo has "Yan" in their name? He replied, "It’s Luo Yanhao, Young Master Luo."
Luo Yanhao? Luo Qianqian was startled. Could it be another group trying to get rid of them? Luo Yanran had been kind to her. All the clothes she was wearing now were provided by Luo Yanran, so it couldn’t be him wanting to get rid of them; there had been plenty of opportunities for that. Luo Qianqian analyzed the situation calmly.
