Chapter 327 Did you go to a juvenile detention center when you were in junior high school?

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers and stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar.

Lu Junyan vaguely remembered these two dishes.

This is the dish he threatened the cafeteria worker to make for A-Chu when he was in the juvenile detention center.

My heart was pounding harder and harder.

Lu Junyan could no longer convince himself that it was a coincidence.

In the ward, Jiang Ning watched as Bai Yichen placed stir-fried pork with chili peppers and shredded potatoes with vinegar in front of her, and her stomach immediately started growling.

But before she could even pick up her chopsticks, Lu Junyan, who was supposed to leave the ward, suddenly walked over and loudly asked, "Did you go to a juvenile detention center when you were in junior high school?!"

Jiang Ning dropped the chopsticks in his hand with a clatter to the ground.

Bai Yichen looked surprised upon hearing this.

He looked at Lu Junyan, then at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's expression said it all.

So, was Aning once detained in a juvenile detention center?

Bai Yichen tilted his head, looking both curious and somewhat incredulous.

Juvenile detention centers are places for detaining juvenile offenders. Although the juvenile detention center in City A claims to be similar to a correctional school, everyone knows that people who haven't committed crimes won't go there for correction.

Bai Yichen's gaze fell on Jiang Ning.

What mistake did Aning make in junior high school?

How did Lu Junyan find out about this?

While Bai Yichen was preoccupied with his own thoughts, Jiang Ning was also filled with mixed emotions.

She thought... Lu Junyan might have remembered her.

After so long, Lu Junyan finally remembered the girl in the juvenile detention center with her long, gray hair and a mouthful of braces.

but……

What's the use of it?

It's too late.

Jiang Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly.

For her, the experience in the juvenile detention center, though brief, was unforgettable and will stay with her for the rest of her life.

But Lu Junyan only remembered her now.

"Jiangning..."

Lu Junyan stared intently, eager to get a positive answer from Jiang Ning.

However, Jiang Ning remained silent.

He remained silent throughout.

At this moment, Gu Lanlan woke up.

"Lanlan!"

Jiang Ning's attention immediately shifted to Gu Lanlan.

Standing to the side, Lu Junyan sensed that Jiang Ning didn't want to talk to him much about the juvenile detention center.

What are you still doing here?

Bai Yichen turned his head and glanced at Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan's thin lips were very dry, and the air that seeped in between his teeth made his throat dry as well, as if it were being burned by sulfuric acid.

If it were the old her, she would have grabbed Jiang Ning without hesitation, taken him away, and taken him to a place where no one would bother them to find out the truth.

However……

Lu Junyan gently closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to leave the ward.

In the corridor, the sound of Lu Junyan's leather shoes hitting the floor tiles was particularly clear.

He was on his phone calling Xiao Zhang.

"Mr. Lu?"

"I don't care what methods you use, I must get Jiangning's files..."

Xiao Zhang on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

"Mr. Lu still wants to know about Miss Jiang's relationship with the Lin family? Last time, we used legitimate methods to investigate... Although hiring a hacker to break into the system can be detected, it's not impossible."

"No……"

Lu Junyan refuted Xiao Zhang's conjecture.

"I want to know if Jiang Ning was ever in a juvenile detention center during his junior high school years."

Lu Junyan's resolute words made Xiao Zhang understand something in an instant.

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

When Lu Junyan left the hospital, the rain outside had stopped.

But the sky remained dark and gloomy, and the rain did not stop.

Lu Junyan returned to his car but did not start it.

He is waiting.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground.

Finally, Lu Junyan's phone rang, its sound particularly jarring in the quiet hospital late at night.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Lu, something terrible has happened..."

Xiao Zhang's opening remarks made Lu Junyan frown.

"The juvenile detention center's system has been destroyed."

"What?"

“The juvenile detention center was hacked by criminals who not only formatted the information in the system but also killed the senior administrator.”

Xiao Zhang's words brought a hint of shock and confusion to Lu Junyan's eyes.

If the goal was simply to destroy the juvenile detention center system, there was no need to kill people.

There are many ways to hire hackers and use viruses.

But the fact that they chose the most extreme and dangerous method can only mean that the other party is very enthusiastic and skilled at killing.

A figure naturally came to mind for Lu Junyan.

Country C, Dragon Tooth Gang Headquarters.

Joker plugged the USB drive into his laptop and looked at the information copied from the juvenile detention center's system.

He was holding a gun and had a cigarette in his mouth.

The content displayed on the computer screen matched his thoughts, and the smile on Joker's face became even more sinister.

At the hospital, Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan reconciled.

"I can't live without you as a friend, Aning. If you never forgive me, I'd rather be dead!"

Gu Lanlan tearfully told Jiang Ning what was on her mind.

These past few days, she's thought about it a lot and scolded herself a lot in her heart.

She had criticized Jiang Ning for being love-obsessed more than once, but in reality, she was the one who was the biggest love-obsessed person.

She felt that asking Jiang Ning to forgive her and continue being friends with her would be a disservice to him.

So it's not that she never gave up.

However, the memories of her time with Jiang Ning in high school made it impossible for her to sever this friendship.

So she took the initiative to wait for Jiang Ning downstairs at Jiang Ning's house.

I just didn't expect it to rain so hard.

Gu Lanlan took the torrential rain as God punishing her.

"Lanlan, you're being too foolish. What if you really ruin your health? Don't you know that a cold can cause myocarditis, which can be fatal?"

Jiang Ning was genuinely angry, angry that Gu Lanlan didn't take care of her health.

"sorry……"

Gu Lanlan touched her nose.

Bai Yichen watched from the side without saying a word.

He could never forgive Gu Lanlan, no matter what.

But judging from Jiang Ning's anxious expression towards Gu Lanlan, it's clear he still can't let go of her.

He knew that Jiang Ning was a soft-hearted person.

Now that Jiang Ning has chosen to continue being friends with Gu Lanlan, what is he still hesitating about?

In Bai Yichen's view, Jiang Ning's choice was his choice.

That night, Jiang Ning stayed at the hospital to be with Gu Lanlan.

Bai Yichen went back because his two best friends had talked all night, and his presence would have been a burden.

When Bai Yichen left the hospital, he noticed that Lu Junyan's car was still parked in the parking lot.

What are you still doing here?

Bai Yichen approached and saw that Lu Junyan was holding a cigarette.

"I'm warning you, don't go up and bother Aning. She and Gu Lanlan are having a nice chat, it's just the two girls talking, it has nothing to do with men."

As Bai Yichen spoke, he noticed that there were many cigarette butts thrown under the car.

Presumably, all these cigarettes were smoked by Lu Junyan.

This was the first time he had seen Lu Junyan smoke so many cigarettes.

I don't know if it's related to that juvenile detention center.

Lu Junyan realized that Bai Yichen had no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but sneer:

"What, Dr. Bai, you've switched careers to become a traffic cop? But my car is parked in a parking space, so even a real traffic cop can't do anything about it."
