Ning Wan rolled her eyes inwardly at the awkward explanation from Elder Lu, almost throwing the phrase directly at him, "An explanation is nothing but a cover-up, and a cover-up is the fact itself."
However, she had heard plenty of rumors about Elder Lu.
She also knew that what Elder Lu cared about most in his life was his reputation, and indeed, he disdained to do something as low as kidnapping.

When Lu Tianming woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Opening his eyes to the familiar ceiling above, the man felt a slight headache and couldn't help frowning, but a few seconds later, as if he remembered something, he suddenly sat up in bed.
His gaze swept over the bedroom decor, and without saying a word or hesitating, he threw off the covers and got out of bed.
Everyone was gathered in the living room on the first floor, including Ning Wan, Xi Mohan, Elder Lu, Xu Qian, and Zuo Yuqing.
