Lin Hao held the demon-suppressing stone in both hands. This time, the sensation coming from his palms was even stronger, as if some kind of magic circle had been activated, bringing him into a chaotic world.

In the sky full of wind, sand and smoke, there were dim shadows everywhere. It was hazy under our feet, and everything around us could not be seen clearly.

Something could be heard faintly roaring, as if there was pain and anger, trying to tear this chaotic world apart.

A figure as huge as a mountain, its whole body shrouded in black energy.

I couldn't tell what kind of monster it was. I could only see its big mouth full of fangs, which seemed to be able to swallow everything in the world. It was getting closer and closer before my eyes...

Lin Hao suddenly put down the stone in his hand and immediately woke up.

It's like being immersed in the game world, and suddenly the power is cut off, and the whole person returns to reality.

Qiao Kexin had already changed into her pajamas and noticed something was wrong with Lin Hao's expression, so she asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

Lin Hao took a few deep breaths, then closed the box, but instead of putting it back in the closet, he took it to the basement and stuffed it into a secret compartment hidden in the closet.

When he returned to the room again, he suddenly found that Qiao Kexin's expression was gloomy, as if he was unhappy because of something.

"That stone might be an ominous object, so I put it in the basement for now."

Lin Hao quickly explained that he thought Qiao Kexin was unhappy because he hid the magic stone without authorization.

Because for the past five years, Qiao Kexin has always regarded the Demon Suppressing Stone as a commemoration of her encounter with Lin Hao.

Qiao Kexin sighed quietly: "I want to take time to visit Lu Feng's house tomorrow, so you can go with me. I heard from Master Luo that Lu Feng has no brothers and sisters in his family, only his elderly parents."

After hearing this, Lin Hao realized that he was overthinking and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll call Luo Baisheng and ask him to take us there."

Lu Feng was seriously injured while protecting Qiao Kexin, and his arms were cut off. Everyone thought he was dead, but his body was not found.

Later, I learned from Fu Duanwu that Lu Feng was not dead, but that Meng Tiandao had taken him away, and there has been no news since.

Qiao Kexin felt deeply guilty and self-blame, so she wanted to visit Lu Feng's parents to comfort herself. This was also reasonable.

Early the next morning.

Luo Baisheng and Chen Gang were already outside the villa, waiting for Lin Hao and Qiao Kexin to finish breakfast and send Yue Yue to kindergarten before setting off together to Lu Feng's hometown.

In fact, Luo Baisheng returned to Longjiang a few days earlier than Lin Hao and the others, and he also wanted to visit Lu Feng's house.

But he never knew how to face Lu Feng's parents. He was afraid that Lu Feng's parents would not be able to bear the blow and didn't know how to tell them the truth.

So this matter has been put on hold until now. It was not until Lin Hao called him that he took the opportunity to go together.

Lu Feng's hometown is in the suburbs of Longjiang City. Chen Gang drove, Luo Baisheng sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Hao and Qiao Kexin sat in the back holding hands. It took more than half an hour to reach the destination.

Luo Baisheng had been here several times before, so he was familiar with the roads, so he directed Chen Gang to drive directly to the door of Lu Feng's house.

What appeared in front of everyone was a very old two-story bungalow with probably only six or seven rooms in total.

Hanging under the eaves are some dried corn, peppers and other crops, as well as a few pieces of bacon and sausages, which make people look at them greedily.

Luo Baisheng walked forward and knocked on the door very nervously. Not long after, a woman's voice came from inside the house.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Lu Feng's master." Luo Baisheng said with shame.

After a while, the sound of unlocking came from inside, and the door was opened with a "squeak".

A middle-aged woman poked her head out, looked at Luo Baisheng and Lin Hao, Qiao Kexin and others behind, and asked doubtfully: "Master Luo, why are you here? Where is my Lu Feng, why hasn't he come back?"

Looking at the haggard woman in front of him, Luo Baisheng's face was full of guilt, and he was stunned and didn't know how to speak.

Qiao Kexin walked over with a smile on her face: "Lu Feng went on a business trip and it may take some time before he comes back."

The woman looked at Qiao Kexin blankly: "This is..."

Luo Baisheng quickly introduced: "He is the chairman of Xinyue Clothing, his surname is Qiao, and he is also the boss of Lu Feng."

Lu Feng's parents knew about the fact that Lu Feng was the security captain at Xinyue Clothing, so the woman reacted immediately.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Qiao! Come on, come on, come and sit in the house."

There was a forced smile on her face, and she looked a little embarrassed. She quickly stepped aside and invited Qiao Kexin into the house with a nod and bow.

On the way here, Qiao Kexin had already learned from Luo Baisheng that Lu Feng's mother's surname was Wang.

Seeing some wrinkles on Aunt Wang's simple face and a few strands of white hair on her temples, Qiao Kexin felt even more guilty.

She asked Chen Gang to carry the gifts prepared for Lu Feng's parents into the house, and then walked in with Lin Hao.

Aunt Wang wiped the wooden stool with a towel before pushing it in front of Lin Hao and Qiao Kexin, and greeted warmly: "Mr. Qiao, please sit down quickly and I will pour you tea."

Qiao Kexin quickly took Aunt Wang's hand, asked her to sit next to her, and said softly: "Aunt Wang, you don't have to be busy greeting us, we will sit down for a while and leave immediately."

"How can that be okay? You have to eat before leaving anyway." Aunt Wang said anxiously.

But then her expression darkened again, and she didn't have the confidence to speak: "How about sitting there for a while and then leaving."

She thought about how he was the chairman of Xinyue Clothing and a rich man, how could he stay in a poor place like her own to eat. Being able to come and visit in person was already a blessing she had earned in eight lifetimes.

Lin Hao saw through Aunt Wang's thoughts and said with a smile: "There's nothing else to do anyway, let's just eat here at noon, but we all prefer vegetarian dishes, so just make some simple ones."

Aunt Wang's haggard face suddenly showed joy, and she agreed excitedly: "Hey!"

Then he stood up to make tea for everyone, and while pouring water, he said: "It's true that Lu Feng went on a business trip and didn't call back to say anything. I kept calling him today and couldn't get through. I thought something had happened to him...

…”

Hearing this, Qiao Kexin and Luo Baisheng's expressions became embarrassed and they didn't know what to say.

Lin Hao was afraid that if they continued like this, their secrets would be exposed. Looking at Aunt Wang's words, deeds, and complexion, he might not be able to withstand the blow.

He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where has Uncle Lu gone? Why didn't you see him?"

Aunt Wang's hand that was pouring water suddenly paused, a hint of worry flashed across her face, and then she put the kettle down calmly.

"He's working on the construction site and won't come back until night."

Although Aunt Wang had a smile on her face, everyone could see that there was a lot of helplessness in this smile, as if it was forced.

Lin Hao didn't ask any more questions, because everyone has their own privacy, and maybe others have things that are inconvenient to tell.

Just when the tea had just been brewed, a car horn suddenly sounded outside, beeping non-stop, as if it was right outside the door of Aunt Wang's house.

Not long after, I heard the unceremonious voices of several men shouting: "You damn bitch, come out quickly, or I will set your house on fire!"

"Damn it, you reported it to the inspection bureau for such a big deal. If you don't resolve this matter today, I guarantee that your family will not have a good life every day in the future."
