On the way home, Lauren had been seriously thinking about how to complete this mission.

“Little Nine, how strange! Why does this mission have three stars! And it’s a month ...”

[System Divine Nine: This means that this mission is not as simple as it seems. ]

“But the police said that Lily left on her own.”

Two years ago, Lily was three years old, so she should be slightly older than Lauren.

[System Divine Nine: Seeing is believing. What the police said may not be true. Host, the human heart is much more complicated than you think.. ]

“Miss Torres, we’re home.”

Lauren was summoned back to reality by Ben. Looking out of the window, it was indeed the Torres family mansion.

“We’re here so soon! Uncle Ben, you drive really well!”

Ben, who was being praised out of the blue, was speechless.

Franklin got off work very punctually today. Everyone in the Torres Corporation who was punctual was shocked. There were all kinds of speculations on the forum, speculating whether the Chairman was in a relationship. This was the first time he got off work so punctually since taking office.

It was not just the employees. When Franklin got home at six in the afternoon, even Mr. Hayes was shocked. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare more dinner.

After all, Franklin always came back after having dinner at the company and working overtime.

Arriving home at six o’clock? That had never happened before.

Franklin pretended to casually scan the living room but did not see the little fellow’s figure. He frowned. She had gone out to play and had not returned yet? It was really worrisome.

In the next second, the sound of someone jumping could be heard from the main door.

Franklin turned his head and saw that it was indeed Lauren. She was holding a pink and white rabbit in her hand.

“Big brother! You’re back! I just got home too! Look, I have won a lot of cute little dolls at the amusement park today.”

Wasn’t it so? Both Ben and Zelda’s hands were full!

“Won them?”

“Yes, these are all won by Miss Lauren, who threw darts and rings. Miss Lauren is really amazing!”

Hearing the praise, Lauren happily shook her head.

“Miss Torres, I’ll bring the little rabbit in your hand to your room too, right?”

“No, this little rabbit is my favorite! I must always hold her! The thing I like must always be well protected so that I won’t lose it!”

After saying that, Lauren hugged the little rabbit even tighter, as if she was guarding some treasure.

Dinner was quickly prepared. This time, before eating, Lauren carefully checked all the dishes and utensils.

“Everything is safe. Big brother, you can eat now. With me around, you will definitely be safe.”

“Little brat, do I still need you to protect me?” Franklin smiled disdainfully, but still very consciously took the chopsticks that Lauren handed over.

“Since you don’t need me to protect you, can you protect me? Today, we met an auntie at the amusement park. Her daughter is missing! What if I am missing as well?”

Franklin’s chopsticks that were about to pick up the vegetables paused for a moment. Then, he picked up some vegetables and placed them in Lauren’s bowl.

“Eat more vegetables. When the nutrients are balanced, you can grow taller and faster.”

Lauren pursed her lips.

[System Divine Nine: I’ve told you before. Franklin doesn’t treat you as family at all. Host, you’re overthinking things this time. ]

“The Torres family will not let you be in any danger.”

Franklin acted as if he didn’t care and added this sentence.

Lauren was happy again. Even when she was eating vegetables, she became much more active.

“See, Little Nine, I told you that big brother likes me. This time, you lost!”

The System Divine Nine did not reply again, and Lauren could not be bothered with it.

The two were eating and fighting when the phone in the Torres residence suddenly rang. Mr. Hayes answered the phone with a serious face and whispered a few words into Franklin’s ear. After Franklin heard it, his relaxed expression became serious again.

“I’ll deal with this matter later.”

After Franklin said this, he continued to eat but his expression remained serious.

Although the two of them were whispering, Lauren could still hear everything clearly. Her eyes and ears were always clear. In addition, Lauren’s spiritual consciousness could detect very far away. As long as she wanted to listen, she could hear all the whispers within fifty meters.

Mr. Hayes’s phone call just now should have been from the laboratory. It was said that the chopsticks sent over today had been confirmed that the tip of the chopsticks had been stained with an undetectable poison.

It was colorless and tasteless, but the poison was extremely fast. The poisoned person would die within three minutes. There was almost no chance of recovery.
