Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 187 Breaking up

Two generations back, the Luo family wasn't considered a major wealthy family in the capital. It was thanks to Luo Beiqing's father's keen eye for business, which led to a thriving business in collectibles and made him the dominant figure in the capital, and his mother's exceptional talent in business, that the Luo family prospered.

Simply put, the Luo family only became a top-tier wealthy family because of Luo Beiqing's parents.

The Luo family mansion is located in the suburbs. It is a modern Chinese-style residence, lacking the profound historical and cultural heritage of the Gu and He families. After Luo Beiqing's parents passed away, Luo's second uncle took over the Luo family and renovated the old mansion. Now, the gate looks wealthy, but lacks a sense of nobility.

This was money that Luo Beiqing was forced to spend by his family members back then!

Wen Yan rang the doorbell, and a maid opened the door: "Madam, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Wen Yan." Wen Yan's face was expressionless, her eyes filled with cold light. "I'm here to see Luo Beiqing."

"Miss Wen, Miss Luo isn't here," the maid said with a smile.

Wen Yan sneered, her aura instantly surging: "Then I am the third young mistress of the Gu family. Let your main family speak to me!"

“Miss Wen…” The maid’s face was grim.

"You won't let me in, huh? Do you know that imprisoning someone is illegal?" Wen Yan was too lazy to play along with him.

No sooner had Wen Yan finished speaking than a middle-aged man's voice rang out: "Miss Wen has come here to act tough right at the doorstep of the Luo family!"

Wen Yan looked over at the sound and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes, who looked to be in his forties. He wasn't fat, but he already had the typical beer belly of a middle-aged man. His eyebrows and eyes were three parts similar to Luo Beiqing's, but he had an unpleasant shrewdness.

It was Luo Beiqing's second uncle!

"Where is Bei Qing?" Wen Yan asked bluntly.

“Miss Wen, you should go to the police station to find someone, or you can call her and ask. It’s incredibly rude of you to come to the Luo family and spout such nonsense!” Uncle Luo said sternly.

Wen Yan had called Luo Beiqing on her way here, but no one answered.

As for calling the police?

Would the police handle this kind of thing?

The Luo family is just saying this because they're sure the police won't do anything about it!

"Whether he's inside or not, I'll find out for myself, won't I?" Wen Yan stared directly at him, her gaze sharp and cold.

"How dare you! Wen Yan, this is the Luo family, not your Wen family!" Uncle Luo said sternly. "I am an elder, and I am already giving you a lot of face by personally coming out to speak to you!"

"I think you're the one who wants to ruin things!" Wen Yan walked straight inside.

Uncle Luo glanced at the servants, and immediately someone blocked Wen Yan's way.

Almost immediately, a dozen bodyguards rushed over from their cars parked not far away and formed a human wall around Wen Yan to clear a path for her.

Despite the bodyguards' forceful attack, Wen Yan entered the Luo family mansion as if no one else was there. Uncle Luo and the Luo family servants couldn't stop her, and chaos ensued.

"Wen Yan! Do you want to break into a private residence?" Uncle Luo's face was extremely ugly. "Don't think that just because Gu Yanci is backing you up, you can do whatever you want. Luo Beiqing was carrying the He family's child and was kicked out. How do you think you can be so smug? I advise you to watch your words and actions!"

Before he could finish speaking, a deep male voice rang out: "Mr. Luo, our husbands have never advised our wives to be careful with their words and actions. Aren't you being too nosy?"

“Zhou, Zhou Qi…”

Uncle Luo then realized that the last inconspicuous person in the bodyguard team was actually Zhou Qi, Gu Yanci's most trusted confidant!

On her way here, Wen Yan called Zhou Qi and asked him to bring people to the Luo family immediately.
