A Little Trick, the Scumbag Dad Can’t Hold the Knife After Understanding Love

“Wei Yang sent people over, and the Lu Family is indeed under control, but the good news is that those inside haven't stopped resisting.”

"As long as we can find a way in."

"We plan to..."

On the way, Zuo Yi explained their plan to Ji Nian.

Wei Yang stayed by her side, not moving an inch.

Meanwhile, as Ji Nian was about to arrive at the Lu Family's residence.

In the Chen Family estate, China.

"What did you say!? Ji Nian went to Country O?"

Midnight, Chen Mo's face darkened as he was woken up by his subordinate.

The subordinate didn't want to disturb him, but the news was explosive. If they waited until tomorrow to tell Chen Mo, everything would be too late.

"They're headed to the Lu Family."

Without time to ponder why Ji Nian would go in person, Chen Mo hurriedly instructed his subordinate to mobilize their people in Country O.

This led to the situation where the Ji Family, who had originally planned to create chaos to protect Ji Nian and sneak in, turned around to find another group of people had joined their operation, complicating the situation even further.

The scene was almost chaotic, like a pot of boiling soup, ready to be devoured.

Thanks to this, Ji Nian and her group managed to blend in successfully.

When the Lu Family heard about intruders sneaking in, they were highly alarmed and outraged, but upon learning it was the Ji Family, they were utterly astonished.

Rushing out to meet them was Jessica, Lu Zhi's secretary.

Seeing their figures, she was somewhat excited.

After all, she never expected that at such a time, the Ji Family would come to their aid.

"Jessica."

Seeing an old acquaintance, Zuo Yi stepped forward.

Lu Zhi's chief secretary was a tall red-haired woman. Compared to their last meeting, she looked much more haggard now.

"Zuo Yi, it's a relief to see you at this time."

Jessica embraced him.@@novelbin@@

Zuo Yi looked back and introduced her: "This is the young lady of the Ji Family, Ji Nian."

Jessica looked at the little girl who hadn't even reached her thigh and was stunned.

She had thought only Zuo Yi had come; why would Ji Tingzhou's daughter be here in person?

"Zuo Yi, are you serious?"

Is this a situation for bringing a child?

"Hello, Jessica."

"Time is pressing. I'd like to first understand the situation of Young Master Lu."

Ji Nian took a step forward, extending a hand, meeting Jessica's eyes without any hint of inferiority or fear, her expression calm and composed far beyond her years. Her emerald-green eyes were incredibly serene.

This maturity far beyond her age was unsettling, making Jessica feel a chill that reminded her of only one other person—her young master, Lu Jinghuai.

Thinking of Lu Jinghuai, Jessica quickly accepted the situation.

"Young Master's condition... isn't good. The doctors and pharmacists have tried everything, but the situation continues to worsen."

"Originally, the head of the Lu Family said he had a solution, but when the mistress suddenly disappeared, he went to the palace and never returned."

Jessica's words brimmed with suppressed anger.

With Young Master Lu attacked and the Lu Family in crisis, everything seemed too coincidental. Jessica couldn't help but wonder if it was all part of the King's scheme.

But ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‍does that man even have the intellect for such a plot?

"Take me to see him."

After hearing Jessica's account, Ji Nian nodded, signaling she understood, without being swayed by her emotions.

Her task was simply to handle Lu Jinghuai's situation; the rest was the Lu Family's problem.

Even if Ji Tingzhou were here, he wouldn't be able to meddle in foreign royal affairs, much less her.

Realistically speaking, if the Lu Family couldn't pull through, she would have to persuade Zuo Yi to act quickly to minimize the Ji Family's losses.

They could save people, but shouldn't risk their own necks in the process.

The group followed Jessica deeper inside, with Wei Yang silently keeping close to Ji Nian.

In work mode, Wei Yang was no longer like the relaxed figure at home. Instead, he was constantly alert, like a wild animal with ears perked, ready to snap someone's neck the moment they approached.

"Who are you bringing into the Lu Family, Jessica, in the dead of night!?"

Bright light suddenly shone, making Ji Nian squint.

Wei Yang immediately stepped in front of her, shielding her from the harsh glare.

Blocking their path was an elderly man in a uniform, his hair gray but neatly combed.

Seeing him, Jessica's disgust was palpable.

"They are from the Ji Family, here to help Young Master."

The old man glanced indifferently at them, his gaze pausing briefly on Ji Nian before he sternly spoke: "His Majesty has decreed that, for Young Master's safety, no one except royalty is allowed inside."

Jessica muttered a curse under her breath, calling him and old fool.

Zuo Yi quickly caught on.

"So, only royalty can enter?"

The old man nodded.

Zuo Yi spread his hands: "That's simple."

"The head of the Lu Family previously made an engagement between Young Master Lu and our young lady. Our young lady is practically royalty, so she can't enter?"

Ji Nian beside him: ???

She didn't know about this.

Zuo Yi kept a straight face, and Ji Nian, though shocked, didn't reveal anything. Her expression remained perfectly calm.

In reality, there was no such engagement. The head of the Lu Family had indeed mentioned it, but Ji Tingzhou had immediately refused.

Jessica quickly caught on and nodded: "That's right, there's an engagement between Young Master and Miss Ji. How could Miss Ji be considered an outsider?"

The old man sneered: "Is there an official document?"

Ji Nian thought naturally not, as there was no such thing.

"There is."

Unexpectedly, Ji Nian spoke up first this time.

Everyone turned their gaze to Ji Nian.

At the center of everyone's attention, Ji Nian was unfazed. She took out her phone: "We came in a hurry, so we only have the electronic version."

Then she turned to signal Wei Yang to show it to them.

As Wei Yang bent down to take Ji Nian's phone, his ears twitched slightly.

Without making a sound, he stood up and walked toward the old man.

The old man's expression darkened.

Lu Zhi had secretly arranged an engagement for Lu Jinghuai, was she defying the King?

As he pondered, he reached out to take the phone.

In an instant, just as Wei Yang was about to hand it over, a needle suddenly appeared in his hand, glittering coldly, and accurately pricked the old man's hand.

The old man's eyes widened, and just as he was about to shout, the next moment he rolled his eyes and fainted.

His companions rushed over in a panic, all knocked out by Wei Yang, each receiving a needle.

Jessica hadn't expected them to simply attack: "…He's from the King's side."

Ji Nian calmly walked past her.

"Don’t worry, they'll wake up and remember nothing."

Jessica looked uneasily at Ji Nian in front, her unwavering figure walking past the unconscious group and directly entering the residence.

"There's an old saying in your country... truly, heroes come from young."

And this wasn't even a young person.

It was a child.

Zuo Yi nodded in agreement, his tone faintly proud: "Just like our head."

After speaking, he lowered his head and pressed the pause button on the recording.

He planned to play it back for Ji Tingzhou later and see if he could get a raise.
