So, if not running now, then when?
The next moment, his arm was tightly gripped by someone, accompanied by Miss Lan’s ingratiating voice: "Brother, sister hasn’t treated you badly, has she?"
"What do you want?" Lan Luo looked full of caution.
"Hehe." With a foolish smile, Lan Xinru continued to ingratiate herself: "Good brother, buy one more ticket, okay?"
There was no doubt for Lan Luo about this. From his perspective, having one more person standing on his side was always better than fighting alone. After a moment, he whispered to his second sister: "I bought a ticket for tomorrow, flying to New Zealand, can you manage the hospital side?"
Lan Xinru immediately gave him an OK gesture; at such a critical juncture, anything that can’t be done must be done.
The entire conversation between these two was overheard by Zhao Tianchen, who had his eyes and ears on Lan Xinru at all times. He was briefly troubled in his heart, but quickly came up with an idea, a strange smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The next day, when Lan Luo and Lan Xinru, filled with joy, were ready to go abroad for vacation, they were stopped at the airport.
"Mr. Lan, Miss Lan, sorry, you are related to a recent criminal case. Please come with us to the police station."
In an instant, Lan Luo and Lan Xinru were dumbfounded. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel{f}ire.net
They’d become criminals; what was going on here?
Without getting an answer, Lan Xinru and Lan Luo were already taken to the police station, and without any reason, the two were locked up in a detention cell.
Inside the detention cell, two similar faces bore a grim expression.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Lan Luo’s face was full of anger and frustration. A nice overseas vacation turning into imprisonment, the disparity was just too great.
What puzzled him even more was, what crime did they actually commit? As if no one had clarified that until now.
Lan Xinru’s anger had already calmed. She cast a disdainful glance at the person pacing back and forth in the room, speaking nonchalantly: "Are you dumb? Can’t you see it by now? Surely someone has deliberately done this."
"What do you mean?" Lan Luo only understood half of what he was hearing.
Lan Xinru’s disdain grew more intense: "Young Master Lan, please, when you go out next time, don’t say you’re my brother or that you know me. If you don’t understand even this, you’re hopelessly dumb. The situation is clear enough, isn’t it? Clearly, someone intentionally sabotaged this, not letting us go abroad."
Surprisingly, Lan Luo didn’t argue back. He kept probing diligently: "Then who exactly is messing with us?"
Lan Xinru immediately tossed him a candidate: "Who else could it be besides the old man at home?"
"You mean Grandpa." Lan Luo’s heart sank instantly.
In his overly expectant gaze, Lan Xinru nodded sincerely, then delivered another blow: "If my guess is correct, we’ll be locked up here for at least 20 to 48 hours, after which we’ll be taken home and continue to face some extraordinary scolding." She had already prepared for all this; after all, nothing in the Lan family was too strange, except for her silly brother who keeps falling for it and never learns.
In the following time, Lan Xinru let her silly brother wail in the detention room, while she lay down directly on the only hard bed to catch up on sleep. Although it was uncomfortable, it was still better than not sleeping at all.
