Chapter 294 He Admires Her

Zhang Meimei was led away by the police officers who had been ordered to do so. As she was leaving, she secretly turned back and glanced a few more times in Wen Ni's direction.

Wen Ni sat there quietly.

He remained silent, his back ramrod straight as he waited for the investigation results to come out!

Time passed second by second.

For more than three hours, the sky had darkened, and light snow began to fall.

"How's the investigation going?"

"Sir, the preliminary investigation results are basically consistent with what she said, but we haven't been able to contact Mr. Lu yet! His company said he has very important work today..."

Unable to get in touch??

The sheriff, holding the phone, turned his head suspiciously to look at Wen Ni, who was sitting in her seat with her eyes closed, resting.

Lu Jinye is so busy, and his whereabouts are always kept secret, that most people can't even get in touch with him!

Does her saying she'll go hiking with him necessarily mean it's true?

Is it possible that he deliberately said that to mislead them?

He hung up the phone and walked up to Wen Ni.

“We can’t get in touch with Lu Jinye, so we can’t get your alibi. It’s getting late, so you’ll probably have to come back to the police station with us! I’ll release you when we can get in touch with him!”

"I don't care, I just want to remind you that if you waste too much time on me, it might give the real culprit a chance to escape and destroy the evidence!"

"This..." The sheriff did hesitate.

Based on the current investigation results, Wen Ni's identity shouldn't be a major issue. Someone of that status wouldn't commit murder over such a trivial matter!

Just as he was deep in thought

A commotion arose in the hallway outside!

The noise reached the doorway, and a figure pushed it open and entered.

The man in the lead was wearing a hat and a mask, which concealed his appearance, but his superior height and physique, as well as his powerful aura, could not be hidden no matter what!

"Who are you?" the police asked suspiciously, full of vigilance.

"Lu Jinye, from the Lu family in the Beijing area."

As he spoke, he removed his mask with one hand and faced the police officer. "I can testify that Wen Ni was with me all night. If you don't believe me, I can have Director Zhang contact you personally. You can ask him to pass on any questions you may have."

Please convey this message, Director Zhang!

What kind of background and connections must someone have to dare to say such arrogant and disrespectful things!

The police officers present were stunned.

"Mr. Lu," the sheriff steadied himself, "what is your relationship with Miss Wen Ni?"

All eyes turned to them.

Wen Ni, who was sitting in place, also looked up and her eyes met Lu Jinye's as he looked back!

"I"

"One-sided infatuation with her."

!!

This time, not only the police, but Wen Ni was also dumbfounded.

He could easily make up many kinds of lies, such as saying she was his bodyguard, friend, or even girlfriend, and she would have a certain expectation of what would happen!

But then, he said he loved her!

This statement is so true.

So much so that he didn't seem to be lying at all!

This also threw Wen Ni's heart into disarray for a moment.

"That's why I asked her to go hiking in the middle of the night to watch the sunrise together!" Lu Jinye said calmly, his gaze towards Wen Ni unreadable.

"Oh, so that's how it is?" The sheriff stammered.

"Only a few people present know about this. Given our positions, we hope that our affairs will not be revealed and affect our personal lives."

"Understood, understood! Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we won't go around saying anything!"

The police officers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

After all that, I almost offended Mr. Lu and his future girlfriend!

"Master Lu!" Qin Yuan suddenly pushed open the door and entered, followed by several newly dispatched police officers from the Municipal Bureau. "Look what we've found!"

What he was carrying was a sealed bag containing a fruit knife, stained with blood and not yet cleaned!

"This was found in Zhang Meimei's dormitory!" Qin Yuan threw the sealed bag on the podium, her tone indignant. "The real murderer of Zhen Yuan is Zhang Meimei!"

"What! Zhang Meimei?"

The police officer thought, "It could actually be her!?"

Where is Zhang Meimei now?!

"Sir, you told us to take her back to the dormitory, and then all our men withdrew..."

"Damn it! Go find her right now and bring her back to me! I need to find out what exactly happened!" The sheriff paused in his hurried steps and looked at Lu Jinye. "Mr. Lu, Ms. Wen Ni, I'm so sorry about what happened today. I will definitely come to apologize in person tomorrow!"

“This is a necessary procedure for your investigations. We understand that you don’t let any potential suspects go unpunished. Go and make the arrest.” Wen Ni stood up and nodded to the police chief.

The sheriff looked back gratefully, then led his men out.

The police's sudden departure aroused the curiosity of the students in the corridor. They frequently looked into the classroom, only to see Wen Ni talking to a few men from behind!

"You'd better get out of here before anyone recognizes you!" Wen Ni noticed the commotion outside the door and quickly went over to take Lu Jinye's mask, helping him put it back on his face.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Lu Jinye looked down at her, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he explained, "Anxi told Linyi about it as soon as possible, and Linyi found Tang Zi. But I was busy with work after I got back and didn't see Tang Zi's call."

After Tang Zi finished telling him the whole story, he dropped everything and rushed to the school!

“You arrived just in time, not late at all.” Wen Ni looked at him. “You didn’t even have to come in person. With your relationship with Director Zhang, a simple phone call would have been enough to prevent anyone from touching me! But you didn’t do that.”

“Because doing that would only be using power to protect me, and the doubts about the case would still remain! But you came here in person as a witness to clear my name! I understand and remember all of this.”

Lu Jinye smiled and suddenly asked, "What about what I just said? Will you remember it too?"

[I have a one-sided crush on her.]

Wen Ni didn't want to bring this up, but unexpectedly he took the initiative to bring the topic back!

Perhaps she paused to think for a little too long.

He took a step back, adjusted his hat brim, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. What I just said was only for them to hear."

"Mm." Wen Ni nodded in a muffled voice.

"I should go too, I still have some work to finish." Lu Jinye's voice was calm, revealing no extra emotion. He turned around gracefully and left quickly with Qin Yuan!

Liu Wenni stood there, inexplicably relieved.

"Wen Ni!"

Anxi, who had been waiting outside, rushed in. She looked around before lowering her voice and asking, "Is everything alright? Was that Mr. Lu Jinye who just came in?"
