Wise Qiao An

Qiao An gave Lu Yu a smug smile and followed the butler into the villa as if she was entering her own house.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Yu quickly chased after her.

The butler brought Qiao An into the hall. The old man was already sitting on the sofa. The coffee table was decked with tea and pastries. When Old Master Lu saw Qiao An enter, he smiled and said, “Miss Qiao, please sit.” His tone was especially gentle.

Qiao An sat down on the sofa beside the old man.

Lu Yu, who had just entered, was stunned when he saw this scene.

At this moment, he heard his father ask Qiao An seriously, “Miss Qiao, I heard that you came to my residence today to look for someone?”

Qiao An picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.

The fragrance of the tea filled the air. It was indeed good tea.

It could be seen how much the old man doted on Lu Ze.

Qiao An smiled. “Yes, Grandpa Lu.” Her smile was sweet and obedient. She addressed Old Master Lu as Grandpa and instantly reduced the distance between them.

Lu Yu walked over and snorted. She said to the old man, “Dad, Xiaoyun said that this girl is very cunning. You have to be careful. I’m afraid she has ulterior motives.”

Old Master Lu glared at Lu Yu fiercely. “Shut up.”

Lu Yu was suspicious. His father’s change in attitude towards Qiao An puzzled him, but he could only shut up resentfully and be an audience.

Old Master Lu said to Qiao An, “Miss Qiao, to be honest, the person you’re looking for is my son. I’ve been looking for him for so many years, but I haven’t found him. Can I ask you how you know about him?”

Qiao An smiled thinly.

The smile was meaningful.

Lu Yu was an impatient person and said irritably, “Qiao An, so you used my brother’s name to ask to see my father. You’re indeed scheming.” He turned to Old Master Lu and said, “Dad, how can this girl know Brother’s whereabouts? She used my brother’s name to see you.”

Old Master Lu looked at Qiao An suspiciously and said solemnly, “Qiao An, if you really used Lu Ze to see me as Lu Yu said, I can only say that your decision is very foolish.”

Qiao An wasn’t angry. Instead, she shook the teacup in her hand and said, “Grandpa treated me to such good tea. It can be seen how much he values Lu Ze. And if I use Lu Ze to threaten Grandpa, I’ll be courting death.”

Old Master Lu was surprised and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Qiao An, do you really have news about Lu Ze? What do you know about him? Please tell me everything.”

Qiao An said leisurely, “I was lucky to see him in a bandit’s lair many years ago.”

Old Master Lu was extremely excited. “When did that happen?”

“About eight years ago.”

“What does he look like?” Old Master Lu was afraid that Qiao An had recognized the wrong person.

Qiao An took out a photo from her bag and said, “I have a photo of him. Grandpa, look, is he your Lu Ze?”

Qiao An handed the photo to Old Master Lu, who took it shakily. The moment he saw Falcon, Grandpa Lu immediately cried.

“Ze’er.”

Lu Yu was dumbfounded. He stuck his head over and was equally shocked when he saw Lu Ze’s photo.

Old Master Lu’s attitude towards Qiao An immediately became even more attentive.

“Qiao An, tell me, what did he do there?”

Qiao An looked at the old man and saw that he missed his son very much. The father and son were clearly close, but Falcon took into account his daughter-in-law’s feelings and endured his grief to refuse to acknowledge the Lu family.

Qiao An felt very guilty and blamed herself. She spat out, “I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you and your son would have already acknowledged each other.”

Grandpa Lu rubbed the photo. He had a thousand questions for Qiao An, but in the end, he was so excited that he didn’t know where to start.

Qiao An continued, “Eight years ago, I was a hostage in the hands of the bandits, and he was the “leader” of the bandits.”

Lu Yu immediately flew into a rage. “You mean that Lu Ze became a bandit?”

Old Master Lu glared at Lu Yu. “Don’t you know what your brother is like? Let Qiao An continue.”

Lu Yu shut up resentfully.

Qiao An continued, “I was pregnant. The bandits were arrogant and domineering. At any time, innocent people would be thrown out. And I was lucky. Because he saw my calmness, he secretly helped me plan an escape. Later, I succeeded.”

“Of course, in return, I did something for him. I found a way to submit a list.”

“He was an undercover agent, right?” Old Master Lu cried. “I should have known. They all said that he was dead, but I didn’t see his body. I never believed that he had abandoned me and left first.”

“So he was an undercover agent. No wonder he hasn’t reached out to his family for so many years. He must have had no choice.”

Old Master Lu sighed and asked excitedly, “Qiao An, what happened after that? Do you still have any news of him?”

Lu Yu and Old Master Lu were already very happy and excited to hear the news about Lu Ze eight years ago. Moreover, they didn’t have much hope for Lu Ze’s return.

When Qiao An nodded heavily, Old Master Lu was excited.

“You’re still in contact with him?”

Qiao An said, “What a coincidence. I know his son.”

Old Master Lu was extremely excited. “Lu Ze has a son? I have a grandson?”

Qiao An nodded.

Old Master Lu said excitedly, “That’s great. Our Lu family has a successor.”

Lu Yu was also very happy. “Dad, the heavens have really opened their eyes. After we ask where they are, we’ll bring our nephew home.”

Old Master Lu nodded. “Of course. He’s our Lu family’s bloodline and we will never let him wander outside.”

Qiao An said, “Grandpa Lu, let me finish.”

“Tell me, tell me.”

“Your grandson happened to be a man who was well-versed in martial arts. When he learned that his father was in danger, he bade farewell to his wife and children without hesitation and participated in a dangerous mission as a commoner. That mission…”

At this point, Qiao An suddenly recalled those sad years. Her eyes turned red and her voice choked.

“In that mission, he and his father, Falcon, successfully killed the bandits. He also successfully saved his father, Falcon. But he fell from the plane and disappeared into the sea.”

The old man was heartbroken. He thumped his chest and choked. “Lu Ze, Lu Ze, you walked on a path of no return. Why did you implicate your son and my precious grandson?”

Qiao An’s eyes were moist as she comforted the sad old man. “Grandpa Lu, you don’t have to be sad. Your grandson has been found.”
