The police had blocked the entrance to the house, but Lu Yan had not yet handed over the hairpin to Jiang Hai!

“Young Master!” Jiang Hai, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, had come upstairs. Seeing him with an obviously bulging pocket, he paused and said, “1’11 help you climb out of the window. It would cause trouble for Mr. Si if we’re seen here now.”

“No.” Lu Yan handed the hairpin to him and said, “You take the things and leave. I promised Mei Feng to stay and protect Mei He.”

Jiang Hai nodded heavily and said, “Alright, Young Master Yan, I’ll take the things back to Master Si now.”

“Okay.” Lu Yan agreed.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hai had already driven the car to a secluded spot during the gap just now. The police probably hadn’t noticed yet. Now, he opened the window, carefully looked down, confirmed a landing spot, and then leaped down.

Lu Yan’s heart rose to his throat.

This was the third floor!

He hurriedly ran over to see Jiang Hai holding onto the window sill of the second floor, and even took a moment to show him a reassuring smile.

Then, Jiang Hai suddenly let go, landing steadily amid Lu Yan’s exclamation.

Only then did Lu Yan relax and quickly went to Mei He’s room. However, as he turned around, he met a pair of deep and dangerous eyes.

“Are you… Xiao He?” Lu Yan focused his mind, a hint of surprise crossing his eyes. “Xiao He, do you still recognize me?”

Mei He cautiously took a step back, slowly raising the small knife in his hand.

Lu Yan panicked for a moment but, thinking of Mei Feng’s instructions, he suppressed his nervousness and said, “Xiao He, it’s All Feng who sent me to protect you. Don’t be afraid. I’m Brother Lu Yan. We’ve met before, remember?” “Brother Lu Yan?” Mei He frowned, as if recalling something. However, the knife in his hand still pointed straight at Lu Yan.

Downstairs, the voices and footsteps of the police could already be heard.

Lu Yan knew that if the police saw this scene, it would be hard to explain. He could only anxiously comfort Mei He, “Xiao He, do you remember when you were little, Ah Feng brought you to my house to play? We swung on the swing together. You really liked the design of the pavilion in my house and said you wanted to build one in your own home in the future. Do you remember all that?”

Mei He seemed to finally have a faint impression.

Taking advantage of his relaxation, Lu Yan quickly snatched the small knife from his hand. Before the police turned into this corridor, he swiftly sheathed the blade and hid it in his pocket.

Mei He looked shocked, about to say something, but Lu Yan covered his mouth. “Xiao He, listen to me. Someone wants to harm your sister. I’m here to help her. If you shout now, your sister will be in trouble!”

If the police suspected that he had hidden the hairpin in advance, they would investigate further and trace it back to the Lu family.

If Grandfather found out that the hairpin was found in Mei Shu’s room, he would definitely claim that Mei Shu was a thief.

At that time, not to mention Mei Shu, everyone in the Mei family would have their reputation tainted and could no longer survive in this circle.

Mei He was extremely frightened. He trembled all over, but upon hearing about Mei Shu, he managed to stand without collapsing. He obediently nodded.

Lu Yan finally relaxed and released Mei He, saying, “Later, you don’t need to speak. Just listen to me, okay?”

Mei He still looked doubtful but nodded after a while, whispering, “Brother Lu Yan, you won’t harm my sister, right?”

Lu Yan helplessly smiled, ruffling his hair, “Xiao He, remember, anyone in this world could harm her, but I absolutely won’t.”

Everything he had done before was just to separate Mei Shu and Lu Si, with no intention of harming Mei Shu.

But after this incident, he had gained some insight.

He was indeed not as good as Lu Si.

Mei Shu would be happier with Lu Si in the future than being with him.

“Captain, Mei Shu’s room should be ahead.”

Lost in thought, the police had already reached them.

Lu Yan looked up and saw a familiar face.

“Uncle Zhou.” Lu Yan greeted him honestly.

The following police officers were puzzled, looking at the stern figure of their aptain.

“Ah Yan, why are you here?” Zhou Guo asked.

“Oh, Mei He and I are good friends. Since he’s alone at home today, I came to check on him.” Lu Yan casually explained, seemingly inadvertently shielding Mei He behind him.

However, this small move couldn’t escape Zhou Guo, who had solved many major cases.

“Is this the second young master of the Mei family, Mei He?” Zhou Guo’s sharp gaze suddenly shifted to him. In an instant, he thoroughly examined Mei He from head to toe.

Mei He was only wearing pajamas with no pockets to hide anything.

Zhou Guo satisfactorily withdrew his gaze, curiously looking at the frail posture and terrified expression of the boy.

Lu Yan quickly explained, “Xiao He has autism. I’ll take him back to his room to rest.”

“No.” Zhou Guo took out a search warrant, raised it in front of them, and said, “Since someone is at home, you can rest in the living room for now. We need to

inspect all the rooms one by one..”
