Chapter 146 Meeting Old Acquaintances

Xie Wantang always knew that as long as there was no corpse, Lu Chen might still be alive.

Even if the chance is slim, even if many of them say that there is no corpse, it is possible that it was eaten by large fish in the seabed.

To Xie Wantang, Lu Chen is very capable.

This person can succeed in everything he does.

Just because he can transform himself into another person and make people around him unable to see any flaws, it takes a lot of ability to do that.

Therefore, Xie Wantang admires those undercover detectives very much, because they are obviously good people, upright and kind people, but they have to overcome many difficulties and disguise themselves as unforgivable villains.

This requires not only psychological endurance, but also multi-faceted abilities.

Moreover, you cannot reveal any flaws that the bad guys may see, otherwise your life will be in danger.

Lu Chen landed in Hai City that afternoon. The first thing he did was to gather all the members of the task force together for a meal and a meeting.

The action is very fast.

Including the external employee Xie Wantang, he must also be in place.

Chen Ye wanted to speak up for Xie Wantang, but Lu Chen refused to listen and told the person to be there. If not, he would replace him directly.

His attitude was decisive, and Shen Ye was furious.

When Xie Wantang heard Chen Ye complain about Lu Chen's bad temper and bad attitude, Xie Wantang didn't mind.

It sounded a little different from the Lu Chen they knew before.

But the identity is different now.

Now, Lu Chen is Shen Ye's leader.

In other words, Lu Chen is now the head of the task force. Since the task force has been established, the team members must listen to him as the team leader.

That's the rule.

Unless Chen Ye doesn't want to investigate this human face case, doesn't want to resolve the regret from many years ago, and so many mysteries.

Those things are the knot in Shen Ye's heart.

You know, Chen Ye is an expert at solving cases. He can solve almost any case and there are almost no unsolved cases.

But as for this human interview case, after Anson's case was over, the higher-ups announced the case was closed and directly replaced the human interview case with Anson's case.

Shen Ye immediately raised an objection, but no one listened to him.

I am willing to listen to what he says, but I have no say or decision-making power.

Since the higher-ups said they wouldn’t check anymore, then he had no choice but to stop checking.

Of course, some people will say, can't you check it yourself?

Investigating a case requires a lot of resources. If his superiors don’t support him, how can he investigate it alone?

Don’t want to work anymore?

Now, the Human Face Case has been reopened. First, Yan Xiu and then Lu Chen have returned, and there are more mysteries surrounding these two people.

At this time, it is even more impossible for Shen Ye to withdraw from the task force.

They all knew that if they wanted to solve the previous mysteries, they had to stay in this task force.

"Big Brother, I'll go, it's okay."

Xie Wantang actually really wanted to meet Lu Chen.

"Well, I'm sorry to have you sacrifice your quality time with the children." Chen Ye said.

Lu Chen has already issued a death order that if someone doesn't go, he will be replaced. He doesn't want to leave the task force, and Xie Wantang is the same.

If you don't want to leave, you have to be obedient.

Xie Wantang will not eat dinner at home and has already told the family group about it.

Boss Qin: [Got it. I'm leaving work early today. I'm going to pick up Dongdong and Xiaochengzi.]

Qin Lao San: [Brother, I can also get off work early, I will go with you to pick him up.]

Boss Qin: [Okay, see you at the kindergarten entrance.]

Qin Lao San: [Happy JPG, thank you big brother, see you later.]

Qin Lao Er: [@Tang Bao, I have a surgery today. Sorry, Tang Bao]

Xie Wantang: [It’s okay, the three of us, the eldest and second brothers are free.]

Qin Siyuan: ...

Oh, this family is really about to be ruined.

If you check your phone later, you won’t be able to get a number to pick up your child.

Fortunately, there is a little princess Qianqian at home.

Qin Siyuan suddenly became lively and said, "Tangbao, when are you going out? I'll be back early to accompany Qianqian."

Xie Wantang: [It's okay, Dad. You'll still be in time if you get home from work as usual.]

Qin Siyuan: [Well, I'm leaving work an hour early today. Ask the little princess what she wants to eat and Grandpa will buy it for her.]

Xie Wantang: [Okay.]

Three brothers: ...

Ginger is always wiser with age. This old man is the most insidious.

Over there, during her lunch break, Xie Ningmeng saw the four of them performing a peep show in the group again, and she felt helpless.

After arranging the children, Xie Wantang returned to her room to pick out clothes.

I picked for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one.

She opened her phone, entered the app, and wanted to buy a new one, but suddenly thought, was she too nervous?

Isn’t it just to meet Lu Chen?

Is it necessary to make it so grand?

Moreover, all the members of the task force were having dinner together, not just her and Lu Chen eating alone.

In the end, Xie Wantang just picked out a set of clothes that he wore everyday, which was loose and comfortable.

The dinner was held in a private restaurant called Lao Mao.

Xie Wantang felt very familiar and then remembered it.

When she filed for divorce from Lu Chen, who was pretending to be Lu Yanshen, that night, Xia Meng deliberately took a photo that made her misunderstand and posted it on WeChat Moments. In fact, Lu Chen was at Laomao Private Restaurant.

But, isn’t this private restaurant in downtown Beijing?

She didn't even know when a store opened in Hai City.

If it weren’t for the dinner today, Xie Wantang really wouldn’t have known.

When Xie Wantang drove the car in, he saw an acquaintance - the boss Lao Mao.

The guests of the private restaurant tonight are their task force, and Lao Mao and his two assistants will greet them personally.

Moreover, this alley is quite long, with sidewalks on both sides. The passage can only allow one car to pass through, so fortunately it is a one-way street and you can come in and go out from the other side.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to get on the wrong bus.

When Old Cat saw Xie Wantang, he cheerfully came out to greet her, "Mrs. Lu, we meet again."

The call of "Mrs. Lu" made Xie Wantang feel as if time had stopped a few years ago.

In fact, time flies, and her two children are about to turn three years old.

"Old cat, I called you the wrong name. I'm divorced and single now."

"Oh, okay, Miss Xie." Lao Mao is also a wonderful person. When Xie Wantang corrected him, he corrected it immediately.

"When did you come to Hai City to open a private restaurant?" Xie Wantang asked.

"That depends on the organization. Wherever the organization needs us, we'll open a restaurant there. Before, it was in Sijiucheng, and now it's in Haishi."

"Um."

Xie Wantang understood that Lao Mao was also a member of Lu Chen's organization.

What exactly does Lu Chen do, and why do so many people follow him?

The two were chatting when another car came in. Pei Xiao got out of the driver's seat and Su Nianchu got out from the passenger seat. They were all old acquaintances.

"Ms. Xie, long time no see." The two of them walked forward and greeted Xie Wantang.

They all knew her and didn't pretend not to.

Xie Wantang guessed that when Lu Chen appeared later, he would not pretend not to know her, right?

He shouldn't pretend to have amnesia, especially the kind where he remembers everyone but her.

After all, that method was really too low.

"Long time no see." Xie Wantang also responded generously.

She did not ask the two people what they had been doing during the years that Lu Chen was missing.

She wanted to keep this question for later, and it would be better to ask Lu Chen directly after meeting him.

Just then, a jeep drove in and Lu Chen got out from the passenger seat. There were several unfamiliar faces behind him. After getting out of the car, Lu Chen walked directly to the corner and continued to make a phone call.

Xie Wantang was completely ignored.
