When Shen Liqing saw that familiar figure outside the door, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into hell. After all, he had lived with him for over a decade, seeing him grow up from a young age. How could he possibly forget?

He was startled and quickly crouched down, using the sofa to conceal his body. Unexpectedly, Shen Lu still came over. This was faster than he had anticipated. There were also many hiding places in the surrounding hotels, and this hotel was not one that Shen Liqing, a destitute person like him, could afford to stay in. Shen Liqing thought that Shen Lu would at least wait a few days before coming.

Shen Lu was surrounded by a number of burly bodyguards; it was likely that they had been assigned to him in order to find Shen Li. Shen Li Qing could only curl up in a corner. It was not because he was afraid of seeing Shen Lu, but because he didn't know how to face him. He admitted that initially his intentions towards Shen Lu were not pure, and he even believed that Shen Lu should not exist in this world. However, as they gradually spent time together, he sincerely and genuinely treated Shen Lu, regarding him as the only family in the world.

Just as Xun Yan returned his room key, he noticed a number of people in the lobby. However, a young man with a cold expression furrowed his brow, and Xun Yan presumed that these people were all brought here by him. Xun Yan was used to such scenes by now, and it didn't concern him anyway.

However, where did that old man go? He was just sitting on the sofa waiting for him a few minutes ago, how could he have disappeared so quickly? Xun Yan thought to himself, this man named Lu Li is really troublesome. At first, he was the one who said he was going to leave, but now, he doesn't even know where he went or bother to say goodbye.

He was about to curse, but then he noticed Shen Liqing curled up under the sofa. He immediately felt a bit confused as he didn't understand the situation. Out of instinct, he blurted out, "Why are you hiding here?"

Shen Liqing's heart sank when she saw Xun Yan asking this question. She quickly gestured to him to stop talking. But Xun Yan wasn't clear about the current situation, and Shen Liqing's actions made him slightly agitated.

"If you don't come out soon, then I'll leave." Xun Yan's voice carried a hint of impatience. This old man was really something, what kind of trick was he playing again?

Shen Lu instructed some of the bodyguards to inquire with a photo of Shen Liqing, suddenly noticing an unusual condition on the sofa.

Shen Liqing's body trembled slightly as she heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. At this moment, Xun Yan seemed to understand a few things in his heart. He walked over to sit beside Shen Liqing, finding a spot that could provide some cover. Then he took out his phone and pretended to make a call, as if the words he spoke just now were meant for the person on the other end of the line.

"Where the hell did you hide, you stinky brat? We agreed to come out together, but you stood me up again! If you don't hurry up and come, I'm leaving! How long do you want me to wait? You must give me a time! I'm sitting here in the lobby on the first floor. Hurry up!" Xun Yan caught a glimpse of Shen Lu from the corner of his eye. He had originally thought that Shen Lu wouldn't notice anything amiss and would leave. However, Shen Lu sat on the other side of the sofa, and if it wasn't for a low coffee table blocking the view, Shen Liqing would have been discovered early on.

Xun Yan had no idea what the relationship was between the young man seated next to him and the middle-aged man before him. His instincts told him that the reason this middle-aged man wanted to leave A City quickly was also because of this young man.

After pretending for a while and uttering a few sentences, Xun Yan hung up the phone. In fact, he hadn't dialed anyone's number just now. It's just that, if the young man beside him doesn't leave soon, it will be very easy for others to discover this middle-aged man.
