At this moment, He Qiuyan, who was lying in the hospital, was still thinking about how to kill Lu Qingzhu, which caused Lu Qingzhu, who was eating New Year's Eve dinner, to sneeze several times.

His mother, Ms. Wu Meifang, was so frightened that she thought he had gone out to play and forgotten to wear a coat, and she almost beat him with a broom handle.

Lu Qingzhu blamed everything on He Qiuyan, but just after finishing her meal and strolling around the courtyard, she heard that He Qiuyan had been beaten up and had broken a leg, and was currently in the hospital.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Qingzhu covered his mouth with his hand, desperately trying to suppress his laughter. He finally knew what his father and his uncle had been up to before.

Unable to bear it any longer, he turned around and went home. Once home, he lay on the sofa and laughed heartily, which made Ms. Wu Meifang think that he had been traumatized during his trip.

"Weiwei, what's wrong with this thing...?"

"He must have heard some happy news in the courtyard when he went out for a stroll just now..." This was He Caiwei's own guess.

Her second brother is a bit simple-minded; he never controls his emotions in front of his family.

“This silly thing…” Ms. Wu Meifang felt that her child must have been switched at birth in the hospital, as no one in her family had such a simple-minded gene.

When Lu Qingyue saw her second brother laughing so hard he was pounding the sofa, she ran over and grabbed his ear. The laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a loud scream.

Lu Qingzhu really didn't know what was going on. He had just overheard He Qiuyan's broken leg outside and secretly laughed when he came back. Why did he get his ear pulled?

He didn't even need to look to know that the one pulling his ear couldn't be his hot-tempered mother; it must be that brat Lu Qingyue.

“Lu! Qing! Yue…”

Lu Qingzhu was about to stand up and resist, but when he saw his mother standing next to him, he immediately cowered and could only obediently return to the sofa.

He Caiwei was almost dying of laughter at his overly expressive face. How could a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy have so many expressions? It was just too funny.

Their family didn't stay up all night for the New Year, so after eating dumplings, everyone went to rest. Who knew that in the middle of the night, a loud explosion would occur, instantly waking Lu Qingzhu.

I hurriedly threw on my coat and ran out to find my parents already all dressed and ready to leave. The sound seemed to be coming from the steel mill.

You have to understand that the steel rolling mill is a giant in the country's heavy industry. Every year, a huge amount of steel is shipped out from here. If it were bombed, how much would the country lose?

"We two can go out. Eldest and second eldest, you two help keep an eye on your sister and your uncle." Lu Zhining only told them to keep an eye on the people in the house before the couple hurriedly left.

It was only the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although Lu Qingzhu wanted to go and see them, he knew his parents would definitely not allow it, so he could only obediently stay at home for the time being.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, he went out with his uncle and older brother. He first went to the military camp to find out what was going on, but the soldiers there told them that they couldn't reveal anything and only told him that his father was injured and in the hospital.

He rushed to the hospital only to find that his mother had already gone home, and his father had just come out of the operating room.

"Dad, what happened? Was it really an explosion at the steel mill? Have they caught anyone?" Lu Qingzhu looked at his father, whose hand was wrapped in thick bandages. He carefully poured him a glass of warm water and fed it directly to his lips, not forgetting to ask about the explosion.

"You brat, you can tell it's a steel mill just by looking in that direction. Alright, shut up. This isn't something a kid like you should know. I'm starving, hurry up and find me some food." Lu Zhining wanted to slap him, but both his hands were injured, so he couldn't hit him at the moment. He could only glare at him fiercely.

He knew his youngest son; he was incredibly audacious. Although he claimed to be afraid of ghosts, he would actually walk right into the graveyard.

If he knew what was happening over there, he would definitely go there to see for himself, no matter what the reason.

"I'm warning you, if you dare go over there to look, I'll break your legs when I get back. You can try me..."

"No, Dad, I really didn't mean that. You stay here for now. I'll go to the cafeteria and get you something to eat. I don't know if your uncle and older brother have gone home yet. They'll definitely be here soon. You should eat your fill and rest for a bit." Lu Qingzhu had food coupons and money in her pocket, but she didn't have a lunchbox. However, that didn't matter; she could rent one at the hospital cafeteria.

The cafeteria even had dumplings, but they didn't look very appetizing, so I decided against it. I got my dad a big bowl of millet porridge, two eggs, and two steamed buns. Including the cost of renting the bowl, it cost a total of 78 cents.

"Dad, eat up. These are the only things we can still eat. I didn't buy any of those dumpling wrappers because they were too thick. They don't look appetizing..." Lu Qingzhu said while feeding her father, and she also complained to him about how heavy the snow was outside and how frozen everyone was.

He was actually hoping to get some information out of his father. He was just too curious: who blew up the steel mill? Had they caught anyone?

Lu Zhining was only focused on eating and didn't pay attention to what that brat was saying. After finishing his meal, he lay down to rest, ignoring the brat's babbling.

But children are like that; the more you try to keep them from knowing, the more curious they become. So Lu Qingzhu had the idea of ​​secretly going there to see the scene, and that very afternoon he put it into action, taking his little sister Weiwei with him.

After reading the book his uncle brought back, he wanted to see if what was written in it was true. He was determined not to miss this opportunity, so when he got home, he tricked his sister into going with him.

Who knew that someone would be so stupid as to go back to the crime scene in the middle of the night and find something there?

Lu Qingzhu was no longer calm. He followed them with his sister all the way, wanting to see where these people were and whether he could find their hideout.

But he never expected that following them would lead him to the neighborhood near his former best friend's house—no, it should be called this ruin.

This place was originally a cluster of luxurious villas, inhabited by the wealthiest people in the capital. However, just over a year ago, it suffered a severe blow. The wealthy residents were either killed, injured, or fled, and the once-prosperous area came to an end, turning into a haunted house.

Some people were frightened by the eerie crying sounds when they passed by in the middle of the night. Later, every night, the sounds of women crying and arguing could be heard, which made people feel terrified. Over time, no one came here anymore, and the place was completely abandoned.
