Chapter 72: Jumping off the Building Is Safer
Not long after the shadow man left, Lu Yuxin immediately called the police.A few minutes later, the police arrived at Lu Jingtiancheng's villa and arrested the two thieves.

"Ms. Lu, if there is any new situation, please contact the police in time."

"Ok."

After finishing the record, the police left first, and Lu Yuxin was the only one left at home.

She walked to the balcony of her home alone, leaned against the fence, looked at the hazy night ahead, and silently searched for the shadow man.

The shadow man appeared too suddenly, came and went in a hurry, Lu Yuxin knew almost nothing about him, and all the shadow man left her was a mysterious back.

"Who is this shadow man?"

Recalling the shadow man's strange movement and bizarre movement speed, Lu Yuxin felt unbelievable.If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it was real.

Never met such a strange person in real life.

The night was getting dark, and after standing on the balcony for more than an hour, Lu Yuxin was finally a little tired, she turned and walked back to her bedroom.

"Ok?"

When she walked to the bed, she unexpectedly found a book on the bed!

"Why are there books on the bed?"

Lu Yuxin felt strange, picked up the book, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. This is an ancient book, and there are four words written on the cover of the book - Lu Family Tree.

"This……"

Lu Yuxin was surprised and delighted, she could hardly believe her eyes, "Is this my family's lost family tree?"

Opening the pages of the book and flipping through it, this ancient book is really the family tree of the Lu family.

"Strange, why did this family tree suddenly appear in my room? Could it be..."

Lu Yuxin couldn't help thinking of a person: Could it be that shadow man returned the family tree to me?

Leaning on the bed, Lu Yuxin began to look up the name of her grandfather Lu Yingqin in this "Lu Family Tree".

"My grandfather never married?"

When turning to page 367, Lu Yuxin showed a strange expression on her pretty face, "How is this possible? If my grandfather really has no children, where did my mother come from? Where did I come from? What the hell is going on?" What's going on?"

After carefully checking the records in the family tree, it was clearly written in black and white that Lu Yingqin had never been married in her life, and died of depression at the age of 47 without any heirs.

Lu Yuxin's slender eyebrows were frowned, and her expression was solemn: "Could it be... am I not a descendant of the Lu family?"

When this question arose from her heart, Lu Yuxin slumped on the bed like a deflated balloon, a cold chill hit her whole body.

For more than 20 years, she has always thought that she is from the Lu family, but unexpectedly, life has played a big joke on her...

……

Lu Yuxin sat on the bed for a whole night, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.

When the golden afternoon sun shone into the bedroom, she woke up and looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the noon.

"Strange, what about "Lu's Family Tree", why is it missing?"

Lu Yuxin obviously put the family tree beside her bed before going to bed, but now she suddenly couldn't find it, and the family tree had disappeared.

"Could it be that the shadow man took it?"

Lu Yuxin was a bit late. Since this shadowy man had the ability to quietly put "Lu's Family Tree" in her room, he should also have the ability to quietly take away the family tree.

When she was sleeping in the bedroom, the shadow man probably sneaked in, and then took the family tree away while she was asleep.

"The shadow man showed me the genealogy to let me know my own life experience?"

Lu Yuxin suddenly wanted to understand the intention of the shadow man, but there was another question in her heart: why did the shadow man help me?

……

At the same time, Meteor Book Bar.

[Book Title] "Legend of Chu Liuxiang"

【Type】Martial arts novel

【Grade】Five-star
[Matching degree] 93%
After reading the novel, Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and the degree of matching finally made a breakthrough.

"The reading of "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" has entered the final stage of ecstasy. It seems that I have to find another time to go out and practice in seclusion."

After making the decision, Liu Xing left the reading room and decided to go downstairs to have something to eat.

When I went down to the first floor, I found Liu Shiming was cooking dumplings on the bar.After more than half a month of research, her dumplings have been made decently.

"Sister, what's the stuffing for the dumplings today?"

"Three delicacies stuffing and chicken and mushroom stuffing, the dumplings have just been put into the pot, so we have to wait for a while."

Liu Xing sat at the bar, ready to eat dumplings.

At this time, a petite figure rushed in like a rabbit, before the person came, the voice came first: "Liu Xing, congratulations!"

Looking back, it was Wang Lanlan, Liu Xing said: "Why do you like it?"

"Congratulations on becoming the owner of the bookstore!" Wang Lanlan's long eyelashes flickered, "Liu Xing, you are so amazing, you have opened another bookstore so soon, and it has almost entered the top 50 booksellers in Fiction Street. .”

Liu Xing was disdainful: "You can even enter the top 50 best-selling authors in Tianhai City, but it's no surprise that I entered the top [-] booksellers in Fiction Street."

"It's different." Wang Lanlan analyzed, "I got into the top [-] writers by relying on news and hype, but you rely on luck. It seems that you are better than me."

"..." Can this girl speak?
"Liu Xing, when will your bookstore open, do you want me to buy some more firecrackers for you to celebrate?"

"Forget it, don't call the police again!"

"Hahaha!"

"By the way, Wang Lanlan, how is your new book going, when will it be released?"

"It's not so fast. It's difficult to write about this subject." Wang Lanlan sat down, resting her chin with her little hand, and said a little depressed, "I've only met the Shadow Man twice in total, and I don't know him well enough, so it's hard to write. It's not going well. Until now, I don't know the identity of the shadow man."

"Can't you just make up one?"

"No, I'm writing a mystery novel. The materials must be rigorous and not fabricated." Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes and said, "Liu Xing, the last two times I met the shadow man, I was in danger. When. You said that if I encounter danger again, will the shadow man appear again?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?"

"I have a clever plan." Wang Lanlan's childish face showed a bit of slyness, she leaned into Liu Xing's ear, and whispered, "I'm going to secretly pretend to jump off the building tonight, and the shadow man might come to rescue me. I can see him."

"..." This girl really didn't mind making a fuss.

"Liu Xing, which place do you think I should choose to jump off the building?" Wang Lanlan asked seriously, "Would I choose Jianshu Building, or Bohai Book City..."

While chatting, at this time, a Tianma sports car stopped at the door of the book bar, and a beautiful figure stepped out of the car, it was Lu Yuxin.She was wearing a light-colored casual outfit today, her face was a little pale, and she looked a little haggard.

"Mr. Lu, why come to me to study when you have time?" Liu Xing asked, "Isn't it because you are here to apply for the job?"

Lu Yuxin sat down and said with a smile, "I'm really here to apply for the job today. I'm going to leave the Lu family wine business and join your bookstore."

Liu Shiming on the side smiled and said, "Yuxin, don't make fun of my younger brother. With your annual salary, you can buy more than a dozen books."

Lu Yuxin said: "Shi Ming, I'm not joking, I'm serious, I'm going to resign from the Lu Family Winery."

Seeing her serious expression when she spoke, Liu Shiming sensed that something was wrong, and asked with concern: "Yuxin, what happened?"

Sighing lightly, Lu Yuxin said: "Last night, I suddenly learned of a very ridiculous thing. I found out that I am not actually a descendant of the Lu family..."

Lu Yuxin briefly explained what happened last night.

"How did this happen?" Liu Shiming stepped forward, put her arms around Lu Yuxin's shoulders, and comforted her, "Yuxin, are you alright?"

Lu Yuxin smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have survived the storms and waves these years, and I can still handle this."

Listening to her words, Liu Shiming felt even more distressed, and gently hugged Lu Yuxin.Although Lu Yuxin seemed to be fine, but such a sudden change, how could she not feel uncomfortable?
"The Lu family attaches great importance to blood inheritance. Since I am not a descendant of the Lu family, the company's board of directors must choose a more suitable candidate." Lu Yuxin said, "Therefore, I am going to resign as the general manager of the Lu family wine industry."

Liu Shiming frowned: "You've been working in the company for so long, why don't you just leave?"

Lu Yuxin sighed: "Anyway, it's a matter of time, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. After leaving the Lu family wine business, I plan to live in your bookstore for a while. Is it convenient?"

"Come here whenever you want, anyway, there are plenty of rooms in the book bar." Liu Shiming reminded, "Yuxin, I don't think you should be too impulsive, maybe there is room for maneuver."

Lu Yuxin smiled and said, "I can do what I want after leaving Lu's Liquor Industry. There's nothing wrong with that."

Wang Lanlan blinked her big eyes and asked, "Sister Xin, did you meet the shadow man last night?"

"Well." Lu Yuxin recalled, "When I was attacked by two thieves, the shadow man suddenly appeared and knocked the thieves out."

"It seems that the shadow people like heroes to save the beauty!" Wang Lanlan concluded, rolling her eyes, and suggested, "Sister Xin, why don't we jump off the building together tonight?"

"..." Lu Yuxin wondered, "Why do you want to jump off a building?"

Wang Lanlan explained: "Our two beauties pretended to jump off the building together, and the probability of the shadow man appearing should increase."

Liu Xing reminded: "Wang Lanlan, do you think you can fool the shadow man with your IQ? If you pretend to jump off a building, can the shadow man not see it?"

Wang Lanlan raised her eyebrows: "Then what should I do?"

Liu Xing said: "How about this, let me pretend to rape you, and if you shout for help desperately, see if the shadow man will come to save you."

"No, what if you can't resist the temptation and really rape me?" Wang Lanlan curled her lips, "It's safer to jump off the building."
