Even though five years ago, Lu Yu was indulging in all sorts of pleasures and vices, embodying the typical decadent son, Leng Qingqiu still felt a kind of endearment towards that image.

But now, the Lu Yu before her is calm and indifferent, resolving many seemingly thorny issues with ease, helping her greatly.

Yet the more Lu Yu is like this, the more Leng Qingqiu feels the Lu Yu in front of her is unfamiliar!

Although his words and actions show little change in how he treats her compared to five years ago, Leng Qingqiu can clearly sense a depth beneath Lu Yu's smiling face that doesn't match his age.

While harsh and cruel environments can cause drastic changes in people, Leng Qingqiu feels Lu Yu's transformation is indeed too significant.

From the playboy of five years ago to the calm and indifferent man now, what has Lu Yu gone through in these five years?

What kind of experiences led to such a dramatic transformation in this young master from five years ago?

It is precisely this curiosity that drives Leng Qingqiu to investigate the deserted island where Lu Yu stayed, aiming to understand his experiences over the five years!

Recently, with the collaborative efforts of several geography professors, she found a shadowed area on a satellite map, located five hundred nautical miles north of LA City, which Leng Qingqiu believes is where Lu Yu's island may be hidden beneath!

For this reason, Leng Qingqiu invited Professor Zhang Qiren to assist in investigating this matter!

Thinking of this, Leng Qingqiu shook her head, her face still radiating a stunning aloofness as she looked at Lu Yu in front of her and said, "What subjects I like don't seem to have much to do with you, this is my personal space."

Her words, as always, give an impression of keeping people at a thousand miles away.

"I'm not interested in your personal space, nor do I have the right to interfere with the subjects you are interested in,"

Listening to Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu shook his head, a smile on his face, and said to the Leng Qingqiu before him, "I just want to give you a piece of advice!"

Though Lu Yu was full of smiles, his voice carried a hint of admonition.

"Advice?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu hesitated slightly, then asked, "What advice?"

"Curiosity killed the cat!"

Lu Yu said blandly, "While everyday life seems the same, dull and boring, it's the mundane that's real. Excessive curiosity can disrupt one's ordinary life and lead to unwarranted troubles!"

These words were said calmly by Lu Yu, carrying a subtle, grave warning.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu was slightly taken aback and said, "Are you trying to scare me, advising me to retreat knowing the difficulties?"

Though there was a trace of arrogance in her voice, she appeared to not take Lu Yu's words seriously. She didn't understand why investigating a shadow on a satellite map could be dangerous.

"Not scaring."

Listening to Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu smiled slightly, shaking his head and said, "I'm just giving you advice due to us being engaged in name and the friendship between our families; whether you listen or not is your business."

Lu Yu's words were full of indifference; although he vaguely felt Leng Qingqiu might be investigating him, he had no evidence to prove it, and if he asked directly, she would probably brush it off.

So rather than that, he decided to give Leng Qingqiu a warning.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu's body stiffened slightly, then she spoke: "Lu Yu, I still remember you saying everyone has their secrets, so I hope you don't interfere more with my privacy."

Her words were firm, yet she secretly wondered why Lu Yu would say such things to her.

"Alright."

Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu shrugged helplessly and said, "Since it's your privacy, I won't interfere, but I still want to add that the world is vast and there are many things unknown to you. Peaceful simplicity isn't easy to come by, so don't easily touch what you don't know!"

"I've said all I can, and how much you understand depends on your choice."

With that, Lu Yu smiled slightly and turned toward Victory Group's lobby, his pace relaxed and seemingly carefree.

Seeing Lu Yu's back, a trace of puzzled softness appeared in Leng Qingqiu's previously proud and cold eyes, her lips parted slightly, and she said, "Lu Yu, what have you really gone through these five years?"

Now, to Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu seemed like a mystery, making her want to understand him more, yet the more she wants to know, the more mysterious he becomes, eventually compelling one to desperately seek clarity.

...

Time flies, and it was deep night in a blink.

At this moment, Lu Yu was driving his Bentley toward the LA City police station. The Ghost matter wasn't resolved yet, and Meng Yue's safety remained in jeopardy, so he needed to continue picking her up to ensure her safety.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, reflecting on the conversation he had with Leng Qingqiu and Professor Zhang Qiren earlier, shaking his head helplessly again, his eyes showing a trace of melancholy, while a dark and bloody scene instantly appeared in front of him.

A vast deserted island, menacing mountains, ferocious beasts, endless battles, and... those dark cages...

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, like a knife in the cold night sky, instilling fear with a single glance.

Phew!

Lu Yu let out a long breath, a smile on his face, speaking to himself, "Maybe I'm being overly suspicious, perhaps Leng Qingqiu really is just interested in geography?"

With that, Lu Yu shook his head, saying, "Forget it, what's meant to come will come, the matter is still undetermined as of now, plus Leng Qingqiu is cold as ice, like she was five years ago, this matter can only be left to unfold naturally!"

"Right now, why does it feel like my life is getting more chaotic?"

With these words, Lu Yu shook his head helplessly, floored the accelerator, and sped toward the LA City police station.
