Chu family, study.
The documents on the desk were in a mess, the cabinets were open, and things were scattered all over the floor.
Pan Xinyue frowned and searched quickly in the drawer.
"Where is it? It's hidden so well..."
Pan Cheng's anxious voice came from outside the door, "Hurry up, Chu Ming will be back soon!"
Pan Xinyue cursed angrily, "Why rush? The contact person has already arrived."
If she could get that important document, she could run away and live a carefree life.
She opened the last drawer and found what she wanted.
But she didn't have time to take a closer look. She quickly stuffed the stack of papers into the file bag and picked up the package that had been packed long ago.
"Okay, let's go."
The brother and sister ran to the corner of the street and got into the van that had been waiting there.
The car started and drove quickly to the suburbs.
Ten minutes later, Chu Ming returned home with a lot of things in his hands.
He knocked gently on the bedroom door and said in a gentle voice, "Xinyue, are you awake?"
"I bought your favorite snacks."
No one paid any attention to him, perhaps they were still sleeping.
Chu Ming smiled indulgently, thinking about finishing the work at hand first.
He paused when he saw the open study.
He had only been out for half an hour, but the study looked like it had been ransacked, with the floor in a mess.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the bottom drawer.
Empty.
Although he already had the answer in his mind, Chu Ming still slowly got up and opened the bedroom door.
The overflowing jewelry box was empty, but other than that, everything was business as usual.
He rubbed his dull aching temple and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Xinyue, you are too anxious."
After being refused the marriage certificate several times in a row, he felt that Pan Xinyue was unhappy, but he had no other choice.
There was a problem with the business in Gangcheng, and my parents were so busy that they might lose all the family savings.
He could only bear the pressure silently. How could he get a marriage certificate with Xinyue at this time?
What's more, Xinyue is seriously ill...
Chu Ming's body suddenly trembled, and he rushed to the phone to contact his friend in the hospital.
His friend could tell he was anxious, so he immediately helped him find out.
"Brother Chu, I found Comrade Pan's medical examination report. Don't worry, she is in good health..."
Chu Ming couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly.
He sat on the sofa until dark and finally regained some strength.
I called Lu Bingchuan, gave him a few instructions, and then bought a ticket to Gangcheng.
He knew that the Lu family was not in a good situation, but it was no problem for him to protect his younger sister.
The most urgent task is to solve the Chu family’s difficulties immediately.
…
A few days later, bad news came.
Lu Guohua was reported to have been involved in a major accident more than ten years ago, and the higher-ups immediately decided to suspend him pending an investigation.
At the same time, the gang boss whom Lu Bingchuan risked his life to hunt down at the border suddenly turned against him.
In prison, he accused Lu Bingchuan of colluding with him, killing many soldiers and undercover agents, and selling Chinese secrets for a long time.
After this incident, Lu Bingchuan and his father suffered the same fate.
The Lu family, which was once the focus of everyone's attention, suddenly became the target of everyone's ridicule.
Most people don’t know the truth, they just follow the trend. When they hear that the Lu family has done something bad, they spread it with exaggeration.
Besides, the Qiao family is now on the rise, and many people are taking the opportunity to pull down the Lu family to get close to Qiao Rui.
In the kitchen, Jiang Ningyan stared at the juicy green beans, wondering whether the dish was cooked.
A man's cold voice came from behind, "Why did you come in? Go out and wait."
Jiang Ningyan picked up the dish like she was presenting a treasure, her face full of anticipation. "I cooked it. How's it?"
Lu Bingchuan's eyes swept across the plate and landed on her slender fingers.
Her skin was white and tender, and the hot oil had just splashed on it, leaving several red spots.
Lu Bingchuan's eyes darkened slightly. He held her wrist and pulled her under the faucet to rinse.
"Don't come into the kitchen without my permission."
Jiang Ningyan stuck out her tongue and said, "Just come in, what can you do to me?"
Through her hard work, her cooking skills have improved significantly.
I definitely won't blow up the kitchen, so why be so nervous?
Lu Bingchuan's face was gloomy. "Every time you come in, you'll have one less meal of meat."
Jiang Ningyan's eyes widened, and she said aggrievedly, "That won't do. I want to eat meat."
After Lu Bingchuan and Lu Guohua were suspended for investigation, all their properties except the old house were confiscated.
In addition, there are soldiers standing guard and patrolling outside the old house 24 hours a day, and they are not allowed to go out.
Daily food, clothing and other necessities are delivered by special people.
Unlike the special dishes in the past, today’s vegetable foods are not even comparable to those bought at the market, and meat is rarely seen.
Needless to say, some people felt that the Lu family was on the verge of recovery and took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Aunt Liu, the nanny who had worked there for more than ten years, was unable to stay and could only leave with tears in her eyes. After that, Lu Bingchuan took the initiative to prepare all the meals.
He knew that Jiang Ningyan loved to eat meat, so he planned ahead to ensure that there was at least some meat at every meal.
After taking a cold shower, Lu Bingchuan pulled her into the house to find some burn ointment.
Gao Qiaolan frowned when she saw this scene.
"Bingchuan, how could you let Ningyan cook? What if she accidentally cuts her hand?"
Lu Bingchuan didn't explain, but just hummed, "I won't do that again."
Jiang Ningyan said with a guilty conscience, "Mom, I wanted to do it myself. There are so many houseworks, I should share some of them."
"What nonsense." Gao Qiaolan totally disagreed.
"Bingchuan is used to hard training. He's not used to being idle. Let him do whatever work is available."
