Just then, Zi Yi held hands with an obedient Luo Ran and walked out from behind the equipment. She then said with a smile, “She didn’t. Ranran is very obedient.”

Both of them walked over to the three and Luo Qingning hastily took Luo Ran, and the group headed to the living room.

When they arrived at the living room, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye excused themselves to go upstairs and they headed to their bedroom.

The moment they closed the door, Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, “Luo Ran is a clone.”

Lu Jingye furrowed his brow. “In that case, all three of them are clones.”

“This cannot be confirmed as of now.” Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, “I’ll get Shadow to check them after they have fallen asleep. If they are all clones, we’ll directly hold them captive.”

Speaking of this, Zi Yi suddenly smiled. “It just so happens that I was thinking of how I should get some clones from Country A to do some research on. It seems like we are quite lucky, as they came running to us.”

With what Zi Yi said, Lu Jingye also relaxed a little.

However, he still did not feel assured to leave his Mother alone with the other three. “If they are all clones, we’ll bring them all to your laboratory and you can study them slowly.”

Zi Yi nodded and said, “We’ll just act as though we don’t know anything right now. Don’t let them notice anything. Clones not only inherit the face and memory of the real individual, but their abilities are also stronger than the real one.”

Lu Jingye thought of the little girl and how they did not hide in front of her. If the child were to tell the other two what they did…

At the thought of this, Lu Jingye’s expression froze and he said, “I’ll go down first.”

Zi Yi noticed his thoughts and grabbed him. “Ah Jing, don’t worry. I used my mental energy to remove Luo Ran’s memory of that moment.”

Lu Jingye stopped and turned to look at her.

Zi Yi told him about the use of mental energy. “The mental energy of people in the interstellar era are all very strong. In particular, S-Class mental energy can control a battle mecha. It’s very easy to control a person.”

Even though they would not usually use their mental energy to control other people.

Only then did Lu Jingye breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they did not remain in their bedroom for long either. They went downstairs very soon afterwards.

Second Master Lu was already back by then and he was currently chatting with them while seated on the sofa.

At the sight of Zi Yi and Lu Jingye coming down, Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “Let’s go and have dinner first.”

Luo Qingning nodded her head. “Ranran is getting tired. Let her sleep after dinner and both of us can have a good chat tonight.”

Mrs. Lu also had the same thought. “Sounds good.”

When they were having dinner, Luo Ran insisted on sitting in between Zi Yi and Lu Jingye.

If they refused her, she would pout and cry.

Luo Qingning and Luo Qian revealed embarrassed expressions.

“My Ranran isn’t this clingy on ordinary days. However, this lass likes good-looking people. What a little fangirl.”

Mrs. Lu said cheerfully, “What does it matter? It just proves that Lu Jingye and Yiyi are both good-looking.”

“Haha, you’re right.”

After dinner, Luo Qian brought Luo Ran to take a rest.

Mrs. Lu and Luo Qingning sat in the living room and chatted.

Lu Jianlin headed to the study room and Zi Yi stayed by Mrs. Lu’s side without leaving as she said, “I wish to hear stories about Mom and Auntie Luo when you were young.”

Mrs. Lu certainly would not object to that.

Mrs. Lu and Luo Qingning talked all about the past when they were young and the living room was filled with their merry laughter.

Zi Yi looked at Mrs. Lu who was laughing like a child and suddenly felt a little sorry for her deep down.

She could see that her mother was really happy that her best friend could come and visit her. If she were to know that Luo Qingning had already been killed and the person seated in front of them was a clone, how upset would she be?

“Previously, Little Qian used to like Jingye even.”

When Zi Yi heard what Luo Qingning said, she immediately collected her train of thoughts.

Luo Qingning said with a smile, “When they were young, both of us even set up an arranged betrothal between the kids.”

Mrs. Lu glanced at Zi Yi and was worried she might overthink things and said, “Little Qian was too headstrong and Jingye also matured early. Both of them would not have any common topics to talk about if they stayed together. We couldn’t possibly force them to be together.”

“Haha… that was indeed the case. In the past, I even used to jokingly ask ‘Why did not dare to date Jingye?’. Do you know what she said? She said he was too boring and she would get angered to death if they dated.”

“Hahaha…”

Looking at how they were laughing merrily, Zi Yi’s lips also curved up.

So it turns out, Ah Jing was an old-fashioned person even when he was young.

Just then, Luo Qingning suddenly asked Zi Yi, “How did Yiyi and Jingye get to know each other?”

Mrs. Lu also turned to look at Zi Yi.

Zi Yi suddenly thought of how she addressed Mom as ‘Sister’. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before she said, “We met each other at M.Uni.”

Mrs. Lu smiled. “Jingye has a joint project with M.Uni and he would indeed head to M.Uni once in a while. I didn’t expect both of you to encounter each other then. The first time I met you, I even had the thought of introducing you to my son.”

Zi Yi’s eyes curved into crescent moons.

Mrs. Lu also smiled wider. Following that, she and Luo Qingning continued talking about stuff that happened when they were young.

Unknowingly, time passed by very quickly and it was already 10:30 in the evening. The Lu father and son came down from the study room and Second Master Lu said to Mrs. Lu, “Qingning must be tired from such a long flight too. Let her have a rest first. You can continue chatting slowly tomorrow.”

Mrs. Lu thought that it made sense and said to Luo Qingning, “Qingning, you can go take a rest first. I’ll bring you around to see my work studio tomorrow.”

The three of them stood up and Luo Qingning nodded. “I’m indeed a little tired. I’ll go and rest for the day then.”

Following that, everyone said goodnight and returned to their respective rooms.

After closing the door, Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, “I’ve already discussed this with Father. He said that as long as we confirm they are not the real Auntie Luo and Sister Luo, deal with them tonight.”

Zi Yi nodded her head and called out to Shadow II to give him some orders.

Only then did they go wash up.

At half past midnight, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye opened their eyes at the same time. In the next second, Shadow II’s voice sounded. “Master, I have finished checking those two people.”

Both of them sat up and Lu Jingye asked, “Who are they?”

“Luo Qingning and Luo Qian are not clones.”

When they heard this result, both of them fell silent at the same time.

“Auntie Luo and Luo Qian are not clones?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingye. “Who could the person who carried Luo Ran away in the city area be? Did Auntie Luo and Luo Qian really arrive in the capital today?”

Only Luo Ran was a clone and it was weird no matter how they saw it. According to reason, a little kid was not capable of doing anything.

Therefore, it was very possible that Luo Qingning and Luo Qian were both aware of this and were being threatened.

Lu Jingye took out his phone and immediately got his men to investigate.

After Zi Yi got Shadow II to monitor Luo Ran, both of them lay down on the bed.

One of Lu Jingye’s arms was used as a pillow for Zi Yi and he faced her while his other hand gently caressed her back as he said, “Go to bed first. Since Auntie Luo and Luo Qian aren’t clones, I’ll discuss with Father how to approach this problem before anything else.”
