The woman stared at her for a long time before she suddenly smiled. She reached out and touched Yu Zhao’s face. She spoke clearly with her red lips, “Your name is Yu Zhao, right?”

Yu Zhao frowned and was about to shake her hand off, but the woman had already retracted her hand. She turned around and walked away elegantly.

“I hope we will have the chance to meet again.” The woman’s voice entered her ears.

Lu Kun looked at the back of the figure that was getting further and further away. He then looked at Yu Zhao. “Who is she?”

Yu Zhao lowered her gaze and thought for a moment. She then shook her head. “I’m also very curious. I even feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

“Brother Kun, the ninth brother asked me to see why you guys haven’t gone in yet.” At this moment, a man in a black suit jogged over and asked them loudly.

In the private room, Lu Dong was sitting on a chair beside a large round table with his legs crossed, looking very relaxed.

“Ninth uncle,” Lu Kun walked over and greeted him.

“Yes.” Lu Dong glanced at him, and his gaze fell on Yu Zhao’s face. “Xiao Zhao, come here.”

“Yes,” Yu Zhao responded and walked over to him.

“Hey, brother! You’re so biased. We have the same father, why don’t you care about me?” Lu Kun deliberately did not notice the undercurrent in Lu Dong’s eyes as he insensibly shouted.

A slap landed unceremoniously on the back of Lu Kun’s neck. Lu Dong cast a sidelong glance at Lu Kun and coldly snorted, “I’ve told you before. You have to be a gentleman to girls! Did my words just go past your ears?”

Lu Kun clutched his neck and pouted his lips in a grievance. He muttered, “What did I do?”

“How dare you talk back!” Lu Dong’s eyes widened, and his voice was cold and stern. “How could you let her come to the capital with you? Just send someone here to look for the information. Why do you listen to everything she says?”

“No, brother…” Lu Kun immediately cowered and hid behind Yu Zhao. “You can’t be so unreasonable. So, should I listen to the boss or not?”

Yu Zhao patted his head to comfort him, then slowly walked over to Lu Dong.

“Ninth brother, this was my decision. Since I caused this, I should be responsible for it.” Yu Zhao’s expression was calm, but her tone was firm.

Hearing this, Lu Dong narrowed his eyes and observed her as if he was examining her.

After a long time, he finally smiled and said, “Xiao Zhao, I know what you’re thinking, but it’s different this time. The information is not only important to the organization, but it’s also related to your future path, so I have to investigate it myself. Don’t worry. I won’t mistreat you. Just go back to the base and leave the rest to me.”

Yu Zhao lowered her eyebrows to hide the expression in her eyes and said, “Thank you, ninth brother. However, I don’t need your help in this matter. Since it’s my fault, I should solve it myself.”

She was still as stubborn as ever.

Lu Dong’s thin lips were tightly pursed, and he finally sighed helplessly.

He waved his hand, and a bodyguard immediately handed her a document. “This is your father’s favorite piece of land. I bought it.”

Yu Zhao flipped through the document. It was indeed land that used to belong to the Yu family.

“Don’t worry. This land is yours now. But I’ll manage it before you graduate.”

“Yes.” Yu Zhao nodded. “I’m fine with it. I’m just going to have to trouble uncle for a while.”

Seeing this, Lu Kun quickly came over and said, “Ninth brother, you’re too biased.”

Lu Dong shot him a glance. “Get lost!”

“Ninth brother!” Lu Kun shouted in protest.

Lu Dong couldn’t bother him. He turned to Yu Zhao and asked, “Your uncle? Is he the only one who treated you well in the Yu family?”

Yu Zhao was slightly taken aback, but she immediately nodded. “Yes. Yu Yuan and he aren’t biological brothers. He was adopted by my grandfather when he was young, so he has always been grateful for the Yu family’s kindness. He has never been cruel to the family.”

Mao Ming had been by Yu Yuan’s side since he was young, and Yu Yuan treated him well. However, Mao Ming matured early because of his family background.

Therefore, when Yu Yuan had suddenly announced that Yu En was the biological daughter of the Yu family back then, he was the one who consoled Yu Zhao instead. When Yu Yuan criticized Yu Zhao harshly, he had also secretly helped her.

Yu Zhao was deeply touched by her uncle’s kindness and had never forgotten it.

After Lu Dong heard this, he pondered for a moment before saying, “Then that’s it. I’ll try my best not to make things difficult for Mao Ming.”

“Thank you, ninth brother!”
