“No.” Mei Yan’s gaze carried a hint of aggrievance.

Mei Jing paused and curiously asked, “Then what is it for?”

Mei Yan calmly averted his gaze. “Sister doesn’t want him to meddle too much.” He only said this sentence and closed his mouth, looking like he didn’t want to discuss it any further.

Mei Jing didn’t inquire any further.

Since Sister entrusted Mei Yan with this task alone, there must be a reason.

Back at the Mei family, Mei Yan was worried all the time. During dinner, he ate some casually to fill his stomach. Then, he changed into inconspicuous black clothes and left the house alone.

Mei Feng watched his younger brother’s departing figure with some unease, feeling a bit uneasy. “Is it really okay for Yanyan to do it alone?”

Mei Jing hesitated and said, “How about I quietly follow him from behind?”

Mei Feng nodded, “Just remember not to be discovered by the Lu family’s bodyguards.”

“I know, i’ll be careful.” Mei Jing kept a distance from Mei Yan, secretly following him.

When they approached the Lu family’s vicinity, Mei Jing finally understood why Mei Shu assigned this task specifically to Mei Yan.

The Lu family’s surroundings were heavily guarded, with people stationed everywhere. However, the area outside the backwall, full of fences, was the only place with lax security.

Because it was impossible for anyone to enter that place, the guards wouldn’t deliberately turn there during their patrols.

But this was for ordinary adults.

Compared to the nine-year-old Mei Yan, those gaps were enough for him to slip through.

Mei Yan stood outside the iron railing, carefully looking around. Once he confirmed there was no one, he turned his body sideways and cautiously slipped through.

He patted his chest, nervous to the point where he didn’t dare to take a breath.

Sneaking into someone else’s house was not a common occurrence.

Although Mei Yan disliked the person he was about to see, this short-lived excitement temporarily made him forget the disgust in his heart.

Bent at the waist, he touched the wall all the way, following Mei Shu’s rough instructions to find the approximate location of Lu Si’s villa.

The overall area of the Lu family’s estate was large enough to accommodate three Mei families.

Thanks to Mei Yan’s recognition of the route and his small stature, he managed to avoid being noticed by anyone.

“Is this even a home? It’s more like a prison.” He complained softly, pressing against the wall. After catching his breath, he continued looking for an opportunity to sneak into the villa.

As he turned around a corner, he encountered two or three bodyguards head-on.

Mei Yan was startled and quickly retracted his head.

“Who’s there!” The guards looked at each other warily, holding their stun batons as they approached.

Mei Yan was anxious, sweating profusely. If he was caught now, his sister’s mission would be in jeopardy!

At this critical moment, with the guards’ footsteps getting closer, Mei Yan closed his eyes. Enduring the embarrassment, he reluctantly let out a cat-like meow.

“Meow.”

Mei Yan’s imitation of a cat’s meow was surprisingly lifelike.

The guards immediately stopped in their tracks, puzzled and suspicious. “Does

Master Si have a cat? Why would there be a cat’s meow near his villa?”

“Maybe it sneaked in from outside? Forget it, it’s just a cat.” The companion, not concerned, relaxed their guard.

But another guard was noticeably more cautious.

“No, I have to go and check. How can there be a stray cat in the villa area?

There must be something wrong!” Saying this, the guard picked up the stun baton again and cautiously approached.

Mei Yan knew he was in trouble. His limbs went numb, his back against the wall, desperately hoping he could gain some superpower right now, perhaps invisibility, to avoid being discovered.

However, reality was often cruel.

In his ears, the guard’s footsteps were getting closer, just a turn away. Mei Yan could even hear the rapid breaths of the approaching person.

In his current position, there was no way to avoid it. If he tried to escape now, it would create a noise and alert all the guards in the villa.

What to do!

Mei Yan closed his eyes, trying to think of a solution. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, his mind went blank.

In hesitation, the guard took another step forward, the fabric of his clothes brushing against the wall, making a nerve-racking rustling sound.

Mei Yan held his breath, his body stiff, not daring to move.

Seeing that he was about to be discovered in the next second, a man in a suit suddenly appeared in front of him, hiding him behind.

The guard turned around, caught off guard upon seeing Jiang Hai’s poker-face. “Secretary Jiang, what are you doing here? Did Master Si ask you to come down?”

“Oh, I just heard a noisy cat downstairs, so Master Si asked me to check.” Jiang Hai replied emotionlessly.

“Oh, 1 see.” The guard, not suspecting anything, smiled ingratiatingly, “Do you need me to help you find that cat, Secretary Jiang?””

“Yes, I just saw it run over there. If you find it, just drive it away. Master Si doesn’t like cats.” Jiang Hai nodded and casually pointed in a direction.

“Alright, 1’11 go now!” The guard immediately went to carry out the task upon hearing it was Master Si’s order..
