Chapter 206 Okay

The little girl's evasive gaze obviously made Lu Zhi's expression slightly colder.

Has this child learned to steal at such a young age?

Is there a gang behind this? Or is there a gang behind this that is specifically training these kids?

Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but just sent the child to the supervision office in the service area. He carefully checked the surveillance again, and after confirming that everything was correct, he asked someone to take out all the things the child had stolen.

"Follow this child's clues and investigate the chain behind it." Lu Zhi coldly instructed the staff of the Supervision Department, "Send me what you find later."

"Okay, Marshal Lu." The staff naturally nodded in response.

It can be seen from the surveillance footage that there is not just one stealing child, but many, and they seem to have found the right moment to come out as a group.

It is obvious that they have received special training, and the chain behind it may involve more human trafficking, not just stealing.

Lu Zhi frowned.

"Marshal Lu, the woman outside wants you to let her go quickly." A man walked in from outside. "She said she wants to leave and doesn't have time to waste here."

Lu Zhicai then remembered Jiang Mian outside. He didn't expect that he had misunderstood her. The main reason was that Jiang Mian's action of injecting anesthetic made him feel very suspicious and he made a wrong judgment.

"I understand." Lu Zhi responded and strode out.

Jiang Mian had been waiting outside, still handcuffed to a pillar.

The other party seemed to be stubborn and insisted on watching the entire surveillance video and making sure that she was not a suspect before he would let her go.

Lu Zhi walked to Jiang Mian's side, took the key and opened the shackles, and said in a faint voice: "I'm sorry to make you wait here for a while, but this is a necessary procedure. We have to confirm that you have no suspicion before we can let you go. Now that we have confirmed that you have no suspicion, you can leave."

The shackles were opened, and Jiang Mian's chained hands were finally free.

"Where are my things?" Jiang Mian looked at the man coldly.

Seeing Jiang Mian's impolite expression, Lu Zhi frowned slightly and said, "The things the little girl stole are all here. Come with me and see if there are any of your things."

As he spoke, he walked forward first, and Jiang Mian followed him.

Things were scattered on the table, but her gift box was missing.

"Why not?" Jiang Mian frowned, and then he looked at Lu Zhi when he thought of something. "Ask the little girl to come over again. I have something to ask her."

Lu Zhi was silent. The girl's tone of command was too matter-of-fact. It was the first time someone gave him an order in such a matter-of-fact manner.

"Go and bring that little girl over here." Lu Zhi remained silent and gave an order to the staff.

The little girl was brought back again. Jiang Mian looked at her and asked lightly, "Hey, little one, did you open my present? Which two of these things on the table are mine? Take them out and give them to me."

Her gift must have been opened. For a moment, Jiang Mian didn't know what the gifts Qi Xu and Zhou Bai gave her were. There were quite a lot of things on the table.

The little girl pursed her lips and finally walked over slowly.

So she took out a silver bracelet and a pink cross earring.

"These are the two." The little girl handed the two things to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian took the two pieces of jewelry, but did not doubt them.

The pink cross earrings look a bit like the one Qixu wears on her ear.

Then the other bracelet should be the one Zhou gave to him for free.

Jiang Mian took the gift back, and the stone in her heart fell. After all, it was a gift with thoughtfulness. Even if she would not wear it, she wanted to keep it well.

"Let's go." Jiang Mian glanced at the man and prepared to leave.

However, she touched her wrists, which were aching from being shackled, and was in a bad mood. As she passed by the man, she still said, "The empire is really getting worse and worse. Can someone like you become a marshal?"

The woman's clear and beautiful black eyes were calm and she felt that he was useless as a matter of course, and raised doubts as a matter of course. Her clear and bright gaze fell on him questioningly.

Lu Zhi's mood tensed slightly, and his deep black eyes suddenly became cold.

He frowned slightly: "You..."

Jiang Mian ignored Lu Zhi. When he saw Li Yan waiting outside, his expression instantly became happy and he walked over happily.

Lu Zhi could only see the girl's back as she left.

His lips moved, but he didn't say anything else. He just frowned slightly, looking a little gloomy.

The warship is about to set sail.

Lu Zhi did not stay any longer. He boarded the warship and left.

On the other side, Jiang Mian finally got to eat the candied haws as she wished. Actually, she didn’t have to eat the candied haws, but because someone knocked her down just now, she had to eat it.

"Come, Li Yan, I'll reward you by letting you eat the first one." Jiang Mian handed the candied haws to his lips.

"What did I do? There's a reward?" Li Yan said this as he lowered his head and took a bite of a candied haws.

Actually, he doesn't like sweet things.

But since she gave it to me, I just ate it obediently.

"As a reward, you waited in such a long line to buy me some food." Jiang Mian smiled as a matter of course.

"Like this." Li Yan raised his sharp eyebrow slightly, then looked at her with his dark eyes. His gaze fell on her and he reached out to hold her red wrist. "How was it just now? Are you done?"

"It's done." Jiang Mian nodded, eating a candied haws. "It's okay, I've got the things back."

"Does your hand still hurt?" Li Yan gently pressed the flesh of her wrist with his fingertips.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Jiang Mian smiled faintly.

When Li Yan saw the candy stains on the corner of her lips, he wanted to help her eat them, but in public, he just used his rough thumb to wipe off the candy stains on the corner of her lips, and then put it between his lips and ate it. It was indeed sweet, much sweeter than the candied haws just now.

"Eat slowly, you've eaten it all." Li Yan couldn't help but pinch the flesh on her cheek and pulled it slightly.

Jiang Mian waved his hand away and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Got it, don't touch me in public."

Li Yan just smiled softly, his eyes full of doting as he looked at her.

"Jiang... Jiang Mian!" Jiang Liang didn't expect that after having a meal, he was planning to buy a return starship ticket, but unexpectedly saw someone who looked familiar.

At that moment, Jiang Liang didn't dare to recognize him at all. Although they looked the same, their temperaments were completely different, making it easy to tell them apart.

That idiot just doesn't have that kind of temperament.

Jiang Liang even suspected that they were twins and didn't dare to recognize them.

A person's appearance can be improved through plastic surgery, but temperament needs to be cultivated.
