Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

The precious signal finally appeared.

Qin Xin hurriedly turned on the surveillance software instead of looking for recipes, to check if the pigeons she left for Lu Yi and the others had flown away.

Fortunately, the pigeons were well-behaved, sleeping quietly on the roof of the hot spring villa.

So, the information received by Lu Yi and the others should indicate that she’s resting on the villa’s top floor.

Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to search for recipes, the damn signal suddenly vanished, gone!

”Sigh—”

She let out a breath; as beautiful as the countryside is, it’s a pity that there’s no internet, no cafeteria or restaurant.

She couldn’t help but be curious about how Master Tuantuan managed to endure such a simple life in the countryside.

==

Imperial City.

Lu Yi was dozing in the bodyguard’s rest area at the hot spring villa.

Suddenly!

The surveillance alarm went off.

He quickly opened his eyes, sprang from the chair, and swiped open the surveillance software to see what problem occurred with Qin Xin’s side.

The software showed a green dot representing Qin Xin moving from the rooftop to... outside the villa, then started circling in the peach blossom forest outside the villa.

Yes, circling!

At first, he thought Qin Xin was running in the peach blossom forest.

But, upon closer inspection of the coordinates, Qin Xin wasn’t on the ground but in mid-air, in the air.

Damn, did Miss Qin really fly up?

Since Qin Xin’s location hadn’t left the hot spring villa, Lu Yi didn’t rush to the peach grove to disturb her but instead called the operator to inquire about the situation: ”May I ask, do you have any entertainment activities here that can... circle in the air?”

The customer service explained enthusiastically, ”Yes, like gliders.”

Lu Yi: ”Gliders? Not that high.”

Customer service: ”There are also parachutes, and also hot air balloons, which can float in the air, not too fast or too high...”

Lu Yi: ”Is Miss Qin participating in any of these activities?”

Customer service: ”Oh, Miss Qin booked a hot air balloon today, saying she might try it tonight or early morning when there are fewer people.”

Lu Yi felt at ease: ”Understood.”

Turns out Miss Qin was taking the chance to play with a hot air balloon in the middle of the night over the peach grove, truly knows how to enjoy...

He couldn’t fall asleep, so he laid back on the chair and browsed his phone.

In the ”Seven Calabash Brothers” group, he asked everyone, ”Any news on the little miss today?”

Lu Bing: ”None.”

Lu Jia: ”Wait, the Young Master just ordered... ordered to stop the search!”

Everyone was shocked: ”What? Does the Young Master no longer care about the little miss’s life or death?”

Although Lan Qingxin had been untraceable and the 48-hour golden rescue period had passed, raising fears of the worst, everyone hoped she was still alive.

Hoping she could be found with a comprehensive search.

But the Young Master, who most wanted to find the little miss, actually stopped looking?

Why?

Lu Jia’s tone was somewhat heavy: ”I don’t know. The Young Master just said to stop the action, no need to search anymore, without explaining why.”

The group was filled with low spirits and sighs.

For a while.

Lu Bing then tearfully posted a message: ”Could it be that the Young Master has privately received news of the little miss’s death? Wuwuwu...”

The group fell silent again for a while.

Lu Ding even lit a candle.

Lu Jia, as the eldest, stepped in to take charge: ”Let’s not make wild guesses. When the Young Master comes back after healing, he will naturally tell us why. Our task now is to do our duty and complete the tasks the Young Master assigned us.”

No one spoke.

The most important task assigned by the Young Master to them was to protect Qin Xin.
