Chapter 09 Chapter 9
Jiang Yubai quickly responded: "Yes."
"you--"
As if he was irritated by Lu Jianing's arrogant attitude, Zhao Qian was about to say something, but Lu Jianing spoke before him: "Master Zhao, if we can't cooperate, don't teach me how to do things."
"Mind your own business."
After a long while, Jiang Yubai, who had been picking up the glass shards one by one, said, "Boss, I've picked them up."
Lu Jianing glanced at the fragments in Jiang Yubai's hand with disdain: "Okay, take it out and throw it away."
Just as Lu Jianing and Jiang Yubai opened the door and left, the housekeeper who had cut the fruit came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate: "Why... did you leave?"
"They had something to do, so they went back first." Zhao Qian answered gloomily with his head down.
"You should also eat some fruit." The butler said regretfully.
Zhao Qian was obviously annoyed, he stood up and said viciously: "She won't eat!"
-
Outside, Jiang Yubai and Lu Jianing got into the red Aston Martin.
After making sure that there was no one around, Jiang Yubai spread out the glass fragments in his hand.
Jiang Yubai carefully selected the fragments of fingerprints with clear imprints and the fragments of cup rim with lip prints.
He quickly put them into a clean transparent sealed bag.
As Jiang Yubai was selecting, he teased, "Boss, you are so good at playing the role of a dandy capitalist."
"With just two or three sentences, the image of an evil capitalist is portrayed."
Lu Jianing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pinched the bridge of his nose.
Looks very tired.
"You're not bad either. You were able to catch my act instantly. This is an improvement over your exaggerated acting at the entrance of the police station."
"It's mainly because Mr. Xiaolu teaches well." Jiang Yubai joked.
Lu Jianing opened his eyes and looked at the fragment in Jiang Yubai's hand: "Are the fingerprints and biological information on it clear?"
Jiang Yubai picked up a few pieces and looked at them in the sunlight: "The fingerprints on them are visible to the naked eye, so it should be easy to extract them."
Lu Jianing was very satisfied and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."
Inside, Jiang Yubai was so focused on acting with Lu Jianing that he forgot to ask her what she wanted Zhao Qian's fingerprint for.
"Boss, what are you doubting?"
Lu Jianing leaned against the passenger seat backrest: "I have a lot of doubts."
"For example, Zhao Qian's relationship with Sun Anling and Zhao Mogan is not good."
"For example, Zhao Qian in front of us hid his will."
"For example—"
The person in front of him is not Zhao Qian at all.
"For example what?" Lu Jianing didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Jiang Yubai asked curiously.
"Nothing." Lu Jianing replied perfunctorily, "Send a message to that person, arrange a place with him, and deliver these fingerprint fragments to him."
Jiang Yubai: "Okay."
Lu Jianing: "I'm tired, I'll take a nap first."
Jiang Yubai: "Okay."
Lu Jianing, who had just closed her eyes, suddenly opened them, as if she suddenly remembered something. She asked abruptly, "Where does the waiter who witnessed the scene live?"
Jiang Yubai: "Hongsi Main Street."
Lu Jianing: "Okay, after you make an appointment with that person, we will go to the main street of Hong Temple to investigate the waiter."
"good."
Just as Jiang Yubai finished speaking, an untimely "gurgling" sound suddenly rang out in the quiet car.
The voice was clear and revealed a hint of shouting.
Jiang Yubai, who was picking out fragments with fingerprints, put his arm on the steering wheel and stared at Lu Jianing as if he was watching a show.
Lu Jianing sat upright in his seat, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared.
She looked calm: "Since you are hungry, let's find a place to eat first."
Jiang Yubai didn't expose her: "The old place?"
"what ever."
Jiang Yubai took off the white gloves on his hands and took out his mobile phone to navigate.
A WeChat message from someone suddenly popped up in the phone's information bar.
He sneered, and while replying to the message, he chatted with Lu Jianing: "It's time for them to eat too. Should I call him over? And give him the fingerprint fragment while I'm at it."
Lu Jianing naturally knew who the "that person" he was referring to, and she replied nonchalantly: "The case hasn't been investigated yet. Is he free today?"
"Yes." Jiang Yubai said, handing his lit mobile phone screen to Lu Jianing.
Lu Jianing raised his head and glanced.
On the screen, the person opposite was obviously a little emotional.
——You two, you only let the lazy donkey work and not let the lazy donkey eat, right?
Every word was filled with accusation.
Lu Jianing complained: "Sure enough, he is very idle."
Jiang Yubai: "Do you want to go back?"
"Why not?"
Lu Jianing took Jiang Yubai's phone and texted "yes" without hesitation, adding a smiling emoticon to the picture.
There was silence on the other side for a while.
Then, he slowly sent three words - Lu Jianing?
Jiang Yubai leaned over and smiled: "He recognized you."
Lu Jianing ignored Jiang Yubai and instead replied lightly to the person on the phone screen.
——【No, it’s your uncle. 】
-
Jiang Yubai drove Lu Jianing to a noodle restaurant.
Jiang Yubai parked the car and stood up and walked out first.
As he walked past the passenger window, he threw the keys in through the open window.
He ordered: "Remember to lock the car."
Lu Jianing, who was putting on makeup, glanced at him and then responded, "Yeah."
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Jianing, who had finished putting on makeup, took out a pair of high heels from the back seat.
She opened the car door and was about to put on her shoes when a surprised voice came from the direction of the car: "Mr. Xiaolu?"
Lu Jianing slowly raised his head.
What caught my eye were three men. They were about the same height, and their straight bodies made their simple sportswear look lazy and relaxed.
Especially the one in the middle.
His appearance was undoubtedly the best among the three. His upright and pure oriental looks, coupled with neat short hair, showed the righteousness in his bones to the fullest.
"It's really you. Why are you here?" Bai Yunan said heartlessly.
Lu Jianing withdrew his gaze from He Qifeng's face, then calmly picked up his heels and walked out of the car: "Have I been restricted from personal freedom because I violated a certain law?"
Bai Yunan smiled awkwardly: "Of course not."
"Then where I go is none of your business?"
Bai Yunan: "..."
That makes sense.
Jiang Xingye smiled at the right time: "Don't be so harsh, Mr. Xiaolu. Our Xiaobai just thinks that someone of your worth shouldn't be here. You should be in a more upscale five-star hotel."
"First, I am rich, not a spendthrift," Lu Jianing continued to retort nonchalantly, "Second, either you arrest me now, or leave me alone."
After saying that, no matter how Bai Yunan and the other two stared at her, she just walked away on her own.
During the process, the high heels on the feet made a clattering sound.
Bai Yunan looked at her back and shook his head helplessly: "Why do I feel that she is a little rebellious?"
Jiang Xingye smiled calmly and replied: "She is so old, but she is still rebellious. Is your brain okay?"
Bai Yunan: "I just feel like she's disobedient."
Jiang Xingye: "Who are you to her? Do you expect her to obey you?"
"I……"
Before Bai Yunan had time to explain to him, He Qifeng said first: "Let's go and have dinner."
He Qifeng and the other two had just walked into a noodle shop when they happened to meet Jiang Yubai who was walking towards the front desk with bowls and chopsticks in his hand.
"Hey, Captain He." Jiang Yubai was the first to greet.
He Qifeng didn't recognize him at first glance: "Who?"
Bai Yunan immediately leaned over to He Qifeng's ear and whispered, "Boss Xiaolu's secretary is the boastful housekeeper who insisted on taking Boss Xiaolu to the hospital for a checkup at the police station gate."
Jiang Yubai smiled slightly and reminded: "Officer Bai, I can hear you."
Bai Yunan's expression froze for a moment.
How come his ears are so good?
"Since the secretaries are all here, then maybe Mr. Xiaolu, whom we met at the door just now, is also here..."
Jiang Xingye was halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped searching the room and said, "Found it."
Coincidentally, Lu Jianing was also observing them. He paid close attention and their eyes met.
Jiang Yubai suggested: "Since you all know each other, Captain He, do you want to come along?"
As if worried that He Qifeng would refuse, Jiang Yubai said considerately: "Our President Lu will treat us."
"I refuse." Lu Jianing, who has excellent hearing, threatened from a distance, "Jiang Yubai, if you dare to treat us, forget about your bonus next month."
As a result, her words fell into oblivion.
Jiang Xingye walked to the seat opposite Lu Jianing and said, "Mr. Xiao Lu, you are really generous. We won't be polite then."
"Secretary Jiang, I want a large portion of beef noodles," Jiang Xingye, who was sitting opposite Lu Jianing, turned around and pointed two fingers at Jiang Yubai, "Add two more servings of beef."
"Medical Doctor Jiang..."
Bai Yunan wanted to stop it, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what he should stop.
Jiang Yubai was no longer surprised by Jiang Xingye's impolite attitude.
He turned around and asked He Qifeng and Bai Yunan, "Captain He, Officer Bai, what do you want to eat?"
He Qifeng said coldly: "We can just order it ourselves."
"Yes, we can order it ourselves." Bai Yunan agreed.
Jiang Yubai said generously: "Captain He, we are all acquaintances, don't be polite."
Bai Yunan instinctively sympathized with Jiang Yubai: "Secretary Jiang, it must be very hard for you to work under such a hypocritical capitalist. Captain He and I will not cause you any trouble. We can just pay for it ourselves."
"It's okay, it's not very hard." Jiang Yubai smiled indifferently.
Bai Yunan felt that Jiang Yubai must have been worn out by Lu Jianing, the evil capitalist, so he said tactfully, "Secretary Jiang, you are so capable, have you ever thought about changing jobs?"
Jiang Yubai thought about it and answered seriously: "Not yet."
Bai Yunan was surprised: "Why? Don't you feel tired?"
"There's nothing I can do," Jiang Yubai spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "The salary she gives is really too high."
Bai Yunan complained in Lu Jianing's direction: "As expected, capitalists rely on wages to retain employees."
Jiang Yubai didn't care about Bai Yunan's complaints. He said, "Captain He, Officer Bai, please go and sit down first. I'll go order the food."
Bai Yunan was surprised: "How dare you treat me to a meal? Your boss said you treated me and he will deduct all your bonuses."
Jiang Yubai comforted him, "Our Xiao Lu always speaks tough but is soft-hearted. He won't really deduct my salary."
After saying that, he did not forget to add: "Also, even if our Xiaolu deducts all my wages, I still have my own side job, so I won't starve to death."
Bai Yunan came closer and asked, "She exploits you so much, and you still have time to do your side job."
Jiang Yubai suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Yeah."
Bai Yunan, who was completely unaware of the situation, obviously believed it. He hid from Lu Jianing and secretly gave Jiang Yubai a thumbs up.
What it means is - you are awesome.
