Father didn't want to go back this time!
Lu Xin's heart tensed at once.
He could feel the unwillingness and greed in Father's heart. He could also feel his own heart and brain enduring an indescribably immense pressure. It made him feel like he was suffering from "ghost pressing the bed" during moments of extreme stress—his consciousness was incredibly clear, but his body was completely beyond his control. Terror enveloped his entire body.
At times like this, the most terrifying thing wasn't being unable to move.
It was the feeling of his consciousness sinking.
It felt like sinking into a bottomless pit. If he really sank all the way down, he didn't know whether he would ever wake up again...
So he could only force himself to hold on and clench his right hand tightly.
Father was reaching for Qin Ran with his right hand. Lu Xin knew what would happen once Father grabbed Qin Ran, so the more critical the moment, the less he could yield. He clenched his right hand with all his strength, determined not to let Father complete what he was doing.
"Shh..."
Sister arched her body, even angrier than when she had faced Queen. She screamed, "You're not allowed to bully Big Brother..."
But no matter how angry she was, she only dared to shout. She didn't dare rush forward.
"The more you act like this, the less we can let you come out..."
Mom's expression also became exceptionally cold. She spoke slowly, her tone heavy:
"Are you angry, or are you afraid?"
"Where are you trying to escape to?"
"We're all family. If family members can't look after each other, then who else can you trust in this world?"
"Do you really want to make this family of ours fall apart starting now?"
