Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 447: Brotherhood

Su Yu spread open his arms and caught Meng Meng solidly in his embrace.

Feeling the soft little one in his arms, the piece missing from Su Yu’s heart was finally filled completely.

"Daddy, Mommy, why did you come?" Meng Meng blinked her large eyes, full of confusion.

Were Daddy and Mommy supposed to stay at Yukun Mountain?

Why did they suddenly decide to come see her now?

Qin Xiang picked Meng Meng up and said with a smile, "We missed you."

Holding the little one in her arms, the little one seemed to have gained some weight.

It seemed she was having a good time in this world during this period.

Meng Meng blinked her big, dark eyes, "Are you going to stay?"

Su Yu and Qin Xiang paused for a moment, then answered honestly, "No, we’re going back in a few days."

Meng Meng blinked her eyes again but did not dwell on the issue further.

Su Yu and Qin Xiang’s visit already made her very happy, so she held her parents’ hands and began introducing every modern device in the current world to them, one by one, like treasures.

Su Yu and Qin Xiang followed behind Meng Meng, watching as her little hand pressed the remote control, successfully turning on the TV, air conditioner, robot vacuum, curtains...

Su Yu and Qin Xiang were dumbfounded.

The current world was indeed a magical place as well.

Although this place didn’t have the abundant spiritual energy of the Mystical World, these facilities and devices were decades ahead of the Mystical World...

Su Yu and Qin Xiang suddenly felt that the people who were eager to come to the current world for development were very farsighted.

Unfortunately, all those people were thwarted in their plans by the Grand Ancestor.

Ever since they signed the Contract, anyone entering the current world must be an ordinary person.

With this restriction, coming to this world was no different than just a trip for them.

Su Yu and Qin Xiang’s reunion with Meng Meng was full of joy.

In the Lu Family mansion, Xia Mian washed up simply, dried her hair, and came out in her home clothes to have breakfast.

All the breakfast on the table was made by Lu Zechuan himself.

Xia Mian was eating happily.

Halfway through breakfast, Mrs. Lu, supported by Sister-in-law Zhang, came downstairs.

Seeing Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan having breakfast, a look of surprise appeared on Mrs. Lu’s face, "Mianmian, you’re back?"

Xia Mian smiled and nodded to Mrs. Lu, "Good morning, Grandmother."

Mrs. Lu’s injured leg had nearly recovered, and even without Sister-in-law Zhang’s support, she could walk a few steps without any issues.

As the weather gradually warmed, Mrs. Lu resumed her habit of morning exercise every day.

Of course, unbeknownst to her, people from the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau were secretly protecting her.

After all, although Lu Zechuan had eliminated some soul eaters last time, no one was sure if there were still people from the Mystical World in this world.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan had helped them significantly; ensuring the safety of an elderly lady was still manageable for them.

Even though Xia Mian was back, Lu Zechuan should be happy, yet Xia Mian noticed that he seemed somewhat distracted during breakfast.

Xia Mian’s intuition was highly perceptive; she wiped her mouth and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Lu Zechuan replied, "Nothing."

Xia Mian frowned.

Nothing?

Lu Zechuan’s demeanor didn’t seem like it was nothing.

Lu Zechuan was generally a very composed person; something significant must be affecting someone close to him for him to appear anxious.

"Keeping secrets from me?" Xia Mian smiled.

Lu Zechuan was silent for a while before speaking gravely, "Lu Zeming is missing."

Since he messaged Lu Zeming last night, Lu Zeming hadn’t replied.

Now, a day and night had passed.

Even if the split in the family strained relations, Lu Zeming and Lu Zechuan’s brotherly bond had always remained.

If he sought Lu Zeming, even if Lu Zeming couldn’t help, at the very least, he would have replied.

Concerned about Lu Zeming, Lu Zechuan even tried calling him, but the call couldn’t get through.

"I suspect it has something to do with the forces from the Mystical World sneaking into the current world recently." Lu Zechuan’s lips tightened as he spoke, his expression serious.

Xia Mian stood up immediately, "Let’s go to his place and take a look."

Although Lu Zeming and Lu Zechuan weren’t biological brothers, Xia Mian always admired Lu Zeming’s character.

If something really happened, she hoped it wouldn’t be anything serious. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lu Zechuan was momentarily stunned but then a trace of warmth appeared in his eyes.

He was worried about Lu Zeming, but due to the family’s previous conflicts, he couldn’t bring himself to visit Lu Zeming.

But Xia Mian’s suggestion gave him the reason to check on Lu Zeming.

"Alright." Lu Zechuan agreed quietly.

In fact, he was now somewhat regretting not coming to investigate immediately after failing to reach Lu Zeming last night.

After finishing their meal, they took a car from the garage, and Lu Zechuan drove straight to Lu Zeming’s residence.

Lu Zeming didn’t live with the main branch of the Lu Family but had bought a house in the city.

Lu Zechuan parked below the building and went upstairs with Xia Mian.

The apartment door was shut tightly, with a layer of dust on the stair handrail.

As they ascended, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The neighborhood seemed upscale; normally, cleaning staff should maintain its cleanliness, unlikely to leave it in such a neglected state.

When they reached Lu Zeming’s apartment door, the eerie feeling intensified.

Lu Zechuan’s heart tightened suddenly, "I feel something’s off."

Xia Mian responded affirmatively, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.

As her palm touched the door, she sensed an aura inside, seemingly not belonging to this world.

Without hesitation, Xia Mian pushed the door open.

The room was very quiet, the living room window open with wind gusting in from outside.

Lu Zechuan stepped inside, calling out, "Ah Ming!"

No response.

Lu Zechuan searched all the rooms and only found Lu Zeming’s phone, out of battery and dusty, in Lu Zeming’s bedroom.

Lu Zechuan’s eyes narrowed sharply.

Dust covered the floor, as if no one had lived there for a long time.

Lu Zechuan’s pupils slightly contracted; when those things from the Mystical World appeared in this world, he should have realized Lu Zeming’s identity meant he would be at the forefront.

He should have come to check on Lu Zeming sooner.

"Maybe, things aren’t as bad as we imagine." Xia Mian offered a low reassurance from behind him.

Before the family turmoil for power, the brotherly relationship between Lu Zeming and Lu Zechuan had been quite good. Even though their recent relationship had distanced slightly, Lu Zechuan never considered disavowing this brother.
