The other two had people lying in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This room had been specially arranged by Cheng Xi Yue to accommodate these four thugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them were in the operating room while the remaining two were resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Lu Huaiyu in the room, the two thugs were immediately stunned and had fear in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This man is really too frightening! He wants to beat us to death!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, they had also figured out that this man was indeed not from an ordinary background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not afford to mess with this man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at them and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s Zhang Yang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the men swallowed his saliva and spoke with difficulty. “He…he’s still in the operating room…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, Zhang Yang was the most seriously injured, so his surgery would take quite a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu let out a faint “oh” and pulled a chair from the side. “Then, I’ll wait for him to come back and question him later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men saw him in this position and suddenly felt more nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had not even felt this way when they had been interrogated by Chief Dou earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu did not seem to notice their emotional fluctuation and said in a lazy voice, “Over the years, how many times has Zhang Yang gone to the Ning family to make trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men looked at each other with blank faces. “Uh…we’re not sure…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a decade and they had gone to create trouble so many times. How could they possibly remember?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu leaned back in his chair and played with his phone with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, tell me how many times you have followed him. You should know this, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two thugs were aware of the danger they were in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No…no…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember. I have plenty of time today for you guys to recall everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s posture was relaxed, but the words he uttered were cold and stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to know the specific date, how many people went, and what exactly you guys did to the Ning family. It’s best if you come clean. I’m listening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ning Li returned home, she stewed the pork ribs and prepped the other ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her phone. Since Lu Huaiyu had left, there had been no news from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I guess he’s busy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu suddenly called. “Sister Li, are you on the high-speed train?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was snuggled up on the sofa. “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not? Wasn’t your ticket for this afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was delayed.” Ning Li answered very briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was quite happy after the initial shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I’m heading back to Yunzhou now. Want a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today? Didn’t you say that you would be staying here for two more days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was always a free spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh… My dad keeps pushing me to come home.” Ji Shu helplessly sighed. “It’s New Year’s Day tomorrow, so he wants me to go home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was not into counting down for the New Year. However, he could not argue with his father, so he had to go home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that his father missed him and was only looking for an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rarely controlled Ji Shu and would not usually demand anything from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu also knew this, so he did not refuse. Thus, he agreed to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good. You’re leaving for the capital soon for your training, right? Your parents are probably reluctant for you to leave. I won’t follow you back. I’m staying here tonight and will go back tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow? Sister Li, do you have something else to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s just a small matter. I’ll go back tomorrow after dealing with this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her say so, Ji Shu did not ask any more questions and quickly hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li stayed alone in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was getting dark outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A firework suddenly burst into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked out of the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunzhou had strict fireworks regulations, where fireworks were not allowed during the holidays. Lincheng was not as strict, so there were already fireworks everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li could also hear children laughing and playing downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched quietly for a while and smelled the food from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li sent a message to Lu Huaiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Second Brother, are you coming back for dinner tonight?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yang had just come out of the operating room when he saw Lu Huaiyu waiting in the ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arm and lower leg had been operated on, and he could still feel the effects of the anesthetics. He could not move his body and needed help to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse came over to hook him up to an IV drip, before quickly leaving the ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could tell that there was a problem brewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking around the operating room, Zhang Yang finally got scared and looked at Lu Huaiyu with his pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…I already told you everything I know! What else do you want from me? I really don’t know who that person is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu smirked slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. Let’s talk about something else. Tell me as much as you can about each and every time that you bothered the Ning family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yang was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he say it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not remember much, and even if he did, there had just been too many times over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s phone suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at it, slightly stunned at the message. He then smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’m going back, but I may be a little late, so you can eat first.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu lifted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still have things to do, so…you’d better talk fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hour hand pointed to 8:00 pm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a knock at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li went over and asked, “Who is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s voice came from outside the door. “It’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Ning Li open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li glanced behind him. “Where’s Brother Xiyue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought that both of them would come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s still a little busy over there, so he couldn’t make it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li pointed to the dining table. “I’ll go warm up the food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu glanced over. “You haven’t eaten yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not felt hungry and wanted to wait for them so that they could eat together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, have a seat first. It’ll be ready soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li walked towards the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu followed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You made pork rib soup?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corn pork rib soup was clear and aromatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had boiled it for quite a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the soup and rice were heated, Ning Li gave Lu Huaiyu a bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, then picked up his phone and took a picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minute later, the reserved and noble Second Master Lu finally put up his first post on his usually blank WeChat Moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no caption, only a picture of a bowl of corn pork rib soup on a wooden table with two white porcelain spoons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edge of the picture included half of another bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could see that this was a meal for two.\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.757Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","315c90409e941334ae42f373ee630f60eb850dfca6649bd76894fe6f4ba6be1d","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-239","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-237",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
