After entering the yard, Wang Lu’s expression turned solemn. “Do you know that you are in grave danger now?”

Zhou Wen nodded. “I know.”

“Why are you still here when you know? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don’t get beaten up for a day?” Wang Lu rolled her eyes at him.

“I didn’t plan on coming here like this.” Zhou Wen originally planned on using the Invisibility Cloak to enter the Imperial Capital, preventing others from knowing that he had been here.

But now, he was carrying a huge log. It was useless even if he was invisible. The Invisibility Cloak couldn’t cover such a huge log. Anyone would know that something was amiss when they saw a log floating in midair.

“I’m afraid you still don’t know the current situation. If it was just the bureau finding trouble with you, that would be fine. With your abilities and me acting as your informant, it shouldn’t be difficult to deal with it. However, the person who wants to touch you isn’t just the bureau. There’s also the real master of the capital, the Xia family. It’s easy for you to come to the Imperial Capital, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to leave,” Wang Lu said.

“Why does the Xia family want to deal with me?” Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.

He didn’t have any deep feud with the Xia family, so there was no reason for them to kill him, right?

“The intricacies are very complicated. I’ll get my grandmother to tell you later.” As Wang Lu spoke, she walked towards the main room.

“Grandma, I’ve brought a friend,” Wang Lu shouted into the hall as she walked.

“Crazy girl, just come. What are you shouting for?” A voice came from the backyard and an old woman walked over.

The woman looked quite old. Her hair was already white, but for some reason, there weren’t any wrinkles on her face. She looked very elegant, and it was easy to guess that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

“This lad is the Zhou Wen you often mention, right?” the old woman said as she sized him up.

“When did I? It’s just that he owes me so much and hasn’t paid me back that I occasionally mention him. I’m afraid that I’ll forget the debt,” Wang Lu said as she tugged the old woman’s arm.

“I see.” The old woman smiled at Zhou Wen and said, “Lad, you look so young. Why did you get yourself in debt? Furthermore, your debtor is a female student. Don’t tell me you want to be a freeloader?”

“Grandma Wang, it’s not like that.” Zhou Wen wanted to explain.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the old woman. “But it doesn’t matter. Our Wang family doesn’t have much of anything else, but we have plenty of money. There’s no way to spend it all eating. Just treat it as doing a good deed and come often to have a bite. It doesn’t matter if you stay here. Our Wang family happens to be lacking a live-in son-in-law…”

“Grandma, what are you talking about?” Wang Lu’s face flushed red. “Zhou Wen is only my classmate. It’s not what you think.”

After a pause, Wang Lu added, “Grandma, you must already know about Zhou Wen’s situation. Tell him how dangerous his current situation is.”
