"Well, you do know it's late? Then why are you out so late?" Mrs. Lu's room faced the house's front door, so Mrs. Lu could see any movement at the front door from her window.
It was also a pure accident that she saw Jiang Yao sneaking out in the middle of the night. She had already fallen asleep, but she forgot to close the curtains. She slept until the moonlight woke her up. When she got up and went to the window to close the curtains, she accidentally saw Jiang Yao leaving the house. Then, she saw Jiang Yao cross the road and enter a courtyard not far away.
Jiang Yao felt helpless. It looked like she could not hide it anymore, so she sat down beside Mrs. Lu and said, "I went to see the two bodyguards that Xingzhi found for me. There was a situation that I needed to resolve."
"Bodyguards?"
Mrs. Lu frowned. "Is it because Xingzhi is afraid of retaliation for that mission?"
"That's not it."
