Chapter 464 She's Engaged

Shi Nian looked away, glanced at Huo Yanmo beside her, and said, "Let's go inside."

Huo Yanmo also saw Lu Yanzhi. To be honest, it was hard not to see him, since they were at the same intersection.

"Okay," Huo Yanmo said, protecting Shi Nian as they walked inside.

Both of them were wearing formal attire.

Although it's not the same set used for the ceremony, there are other sets that are more comfortable.

Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo came in first, so they went to find Li Xinyi to find out what was going on.

"You've arrived," Li Xinyi nodded, then recounted the latest developments in the case to the two of them.

"Can I see the surveillance footage you found?" Shi Nian asked.

“Watch it right here,” Li Xinyi said, glancing at Huo Yanmo beside her. “This is the surveillance footage we got from Zhou Zhiyu.”

Huo Yanmo frowned slightly, turned his head, and looked at Li Xinyi.

"Officer Li, do you mean that Lu Yanzhi sent people to monitor Li Yanqing?" Huo Yanmo asked sharply.

Li Xinyi nodded and looked at Shi Nian: "We arrived shortly after the explosion. I was there too, and Lu Yanzhi was there."

“He was strange,” Li Xinyi said, recalling what had happened before. “He ran away as soon as he saw me.”

“We just saw him at the police station entrance,” Huo Yanmo said.

“Zhou Zhiyu also told me that Lu Yanzhi is back. He said he just remembered something very important and went to get a document,” Li Xinyi replied.

However, everyone present felt that this explanation was perfunctory.

Do I have to go at that time to pick up the documents?

Can't we send someone to get it?

Even if it's so urgent, Lu Yanzhi himself must go and get it immediately, but can't he just tell Li Xinyi?

However, judging from the surveillance footage, it was indeed Li Yanqing who blew up the alley.

It's absolutely true, there's no escaping it.

“I’ll ask him about it later,” Li Xinyi said.

Shi Nian nodded, her eyes still fixed on the surveillance camera, trying to glean some clues.

However, the police have reviewed the surveillance footage several times, and the conclusion they have reached is the same as before.

They have been checking surveillance footage in the directions Li Yanqing might have fled in, trying to find his trail, but this will take time.

"I called you here today for two things," Li Xinyi said, looking at Shi Nian with concern.

Shi Nian turned her head and listened attentively to what Li Xinyi had to say.

"First, I'll tell you about the progress of the case."

"Secondly, I'd like to know if you have any relevant clues recently that you can provide."

Shi Nian nodded, then began to recall.

Why today?

What day is today?

It was the day she and Huo Yanmo got engaged.

got engaged……

Suddenly, Shi Nian thought of something.

"Yanmo." Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo beside her and said, "That invitation."

Huo Yanmo understood immediately and took out his phone to call his subordinates.

Have someone immediately wrap up the invitation that Lu Xinyi left on the venue and bring it over, and also get all the surveillance footage that could be found before.

The two went outside to wait, while Lu Yanzhi, who was in the corridor, stood up when he heard the door open.

Both of them turned in the same direction at the same time, and Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi looked at each other.

Then, once again, Shi Nian looked away.

She lowered her eyes slightly and, together with Huo Yanmo, brushed past Lu Yanzhi.

"Lu Yanzhi?" Li Xinyi's voice came from inside.

Lu Yanzhi withdrew his gaze from her retreating figure and went inside.

Even sitting in his seat, he still looked dazed.

All that could be seen before her eyes was the back view of her and Huo Yanmo leaving together.

Li Xinyi asked a whole bunch of questions, but Lu Yanzhi didn't listen to any of them.

"Lu Yanzhi!" Li Xinyi was a little angry and said sharply, "What exactly happened?!"

Lu Yanzhi stared blankly ahead.

“She’s engaged,” he murmured softly.

"What?" Li Xinyi didn't react at first.

She looked at the distraught Lu Yanzhi and remembered the invitation they had just discussed, as well as the dress he was wearing.

Then I understood the meaning behind Lu Yanzhi's words.

She held back for a long time before finally saying, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

She was involved in the entire process when Shi Nian was hit by a car and taken to the hospital.

When Shi Nian was his wife, he was so ruthless and reckless. Now that she's engaged, he's suddenly sad.

"Take a moment to calm yourself down, I have something to ask you," Li Xinyi said.

Lu Yanzhi nodded.

...

Inside the police station, Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo sat on chairs in the corridor.

Soon, people from the venue brought the items.

The surveillance footage was obtained quickly.

His men handed them over to the police and explained the situation.

After a while, someone stopped in front of the two of them. Shi Nian looked up and saw Lu Yanzhi.

After he finished asking his questions, he came out.

Shi Nian didn't know what to say to him, so she remained silent and waited for him to speak.

But Lu Yanzhi didn't know what to say.

He had so much to say, so much to tell her about Li Yanqing, so much to tell her how much he regretted it.

But he was afraid she would tell him she didn't want to hear it.

Too many emotions were stuck in his throat, and in the end, he couldn't say a word.

People came and went in the corridor, talking and hurrying along.

It seems quite noisy.

But the three of them remained silent.

Finally, Huo Yanmo broke the eerie silence.

“That invitation was delivered to the Lu family by Li Yanqing,” Huo Yanmo said.

Lu Yanzhi turned his gaze to Huo Yanmo.

I saw the warning in Huo Yanmo's eyes.

Huo Yanmo held her hand in one hand, and on both hands were a pair of engagement rings.

“Li Yanqing had planned this all along,” Huo Yanmo continued. “I think you should know this.”

Lu Yanzhi nodded.

He glanced at Shi Nian again.

But she just kept her head down and didn't look at him.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yanzhi said, "I will catch him."

must.

On the way back, they passed through a bamboo forest, and Shi Nian looked at the bright moon hanging high above the bamboo forest.

The bright moonlight shone through the cracks in the car window onto the engagement ring on her hand.

The entire rear seat and roof of the car were illuminated by the light reflected from the facets of a gemstone.

Then, Huo Yanmo took her hand.

My palms are warm and dry.

On the other side, Lu Yanzhi also drove back to that apartment.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his bedroom, watching the traffic flow below.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Lu Yanzhi took out Han Wei's phone and saw the message sent by Li Yanqing.

It was the way the documents and Han Wei were exchanged.

To ensure his own safety, Li Yanqing did not set a time and place in advance, but changed them in real time.

Li Yanqing: "If you can accept it, then change; if you can't, then forget it. I, Li Yanqing, don't lack women."

Lu Yanzhi replied without hesitation, "Okay, change it."
