Chapter 22 Chapter 22
Lu Jianing thought for a few seconds: "But, Ji Yao and Zhang Zongqiao have never been here, so where did they go during the two days they disappeared?"
He Qifeng: "If they are not coming to this kind of temporary cocktail party, then it can only be a gathering place held permanently in Linjiang City."
A permanent venue?
Lu Jianing tried hard to recall the cocktail parties he had attended.
It seems that there is no place that holds cocktail parties all year round. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Just when Lu Jianing was about to confess to He Qifeng, the sound of two people talking was heard not far away.
"Hey, if I had known, I wouldn't have come. What a lousy drinking party. It's meaningless."
"After all, he is a rich second-generation from the capital, how can he be so shabby? He held a party, but there were not many beauties. There are not as many beauties as in Zuimeng Bar."
"If there hadn't been a murder in Zuimeng, no one would have come here."
"No one's coming! Hahaha."
Drunken Dream Bar?
A lot of beauties?
It was not known whether he heard some key information from their conversation, or whether Lu Jianing was completely annoyed because the two of them laughed at Song Gengli.
She took a step forward and taunted the two people: "You two, you are begging for food but you are destroying other people's bowls. You are heartless. I am talking about people like you two."
As if his self-esteem was hurt by Lu Jianing's words, one of the taller boys said, "Fuck, who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lu Jianing, a friend of Song Gengli, the host of this cocktail party." Lu Jianing looked into their eyes without fear. "You slandered my friend in front of me. Do you think life is too easy for you?"
"Oh, so you are Lu Jianing. I've heard of your name for a long time." said another male voice.
"Thank you," Lu Jianing said, as if to deliberately annoy him, "but, your names may not be that famous to me. You have been useless at home for a long time. No one in the circle tells me your names."
"You..." The tall boy was so angry with Lu Jianing.
Lu Jianing calmly replied, "What do you mean by 'I'? If you can't think of anything to refute next time, you don't have to say anything. If you only say one word, it will make your language system seem too poor."
The tall boy continued, "Are we wrong? This place is just not as fun as the Drunken Dream Bar! People are not allowed to speak the truth."
"Of course people should tell the truth," Lu Jianing smiled contemptuously, "but do you have any evidence to just talk nonsense here?"
"Of course there are none," the tall boy fiddled with his phone screen for a while, then handed it to Lu Jianing, "We took this photo at the Zuimeng Bar."
Lu Jianing took his phone calmly.
In the photo, several wealthy men are sitting on the sofa, and there are one or two girls squatting around each of them.
They have charming figures, and the tight and sexy clothes fully show their curvy figures.
The wine bottles on the table are scattered in all corners of the photo.
Soon Lu Jianing noticed Meng Yuan, whose face was only half exposed in the photo.
Lu Jianing handed the phone to He Qifeng and pointed to the corner.
He Qifeng quickly understood what she meant, and the two looked at each other.
Lu Jianing: "It would be fun to invite a few female friends to the bar?"
"What do you mean by female friends?" the tall boy retorted, "The girls here are all from the Zuimeng Bar."
Lu Jianing: "Are you kidding? Why wasn't there any when I went there?"
The tall boy blurted out: "You are a woman, how can I give you this kind of service?"
The companion immediately slapped him to stop him: "Hey..."
"What kind of services did Ji Yao and his team provide you?" Lu Jianing continued to ask.
"What Ji Yao?" the tall boy said, "The one who arranged the service for us was Zhang Zongqiao, the bartender of the Zuimeng Bar."
As if imagining the "beautiful" scene he had experienced before, the tall boy looked intoxicated: "You don't understand how good Eleanor is when paired with a few beauties."
Eleanor and Beauty?
All the elements are met.
Lu Jianing raised the corners of his lips indifferently, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"How good is it? You guys wouldn't be with those girls..." Lu Jianing paused for a second before asking tentatively, "Do your parents know? There won't be an illegitimate grandson who will suddenly appear one day and inherit the few incense in your family, will there?"
Lu Jianing continued, as if to stir up trouble: "Or maybe one day, someone with inside information suddenly revealed that you violated the will of women and touched the girls in the Zuimeng Bar, and then took you to court..."
The tall boy was annoyed: "Lu Jianing, stop talking nonsense. Those girls are dirty to begin with. What's wrong with letting us have some fun?"
"Besides, the women were willing throughout the whole process. We gave them money. Why are you suing us?"
"Why?" Lu Jianing sneered, his eyes unconsciously fierce, "Because... you broke the law."
"Lu Jianing, stop using magic to scare people every day." The tall boy said unconvinced.
"Captain He, did you hear that? These two people confessed to their money-sex transactions," Lu Jianing said, "What do you think we should do?"
The two male voices from before went weak in the knees. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Except for those people in the police station, who would be used to being called "team"?
"Police?" the tall boy immediately asked uncertainly.
Lu Jianing: "To be precise, he is a criminal police officer, and the captain of the Linjiang General Branch - He Qifeng."
"He Qifeng? Captain He... Captain He..." The tall boy immediately said in a flattering tone, "Please forgive us this time, we really will..."
"What? Being distracted by promiscuous things and being distracted by temptations?" Lu Jianing said, "Don't make excuses for your illegal and criminal behavior. The law is the bottom line."
He Qifeng said, "I have recorded the conversation just now. Someone will investigate it later."
Lu Jianing: "I advise you, if you want leniency, go to the police station now, immediately, and turn yourself in. Tell the police everything you know. Otherwise, no matter how rich your family is, you won't be given a chance to reduce your sentence."
The two men supported each other and immediately fled out of the hall.
Looking at the two people's departing backs, Lu Jianing and He Qifeng silently withdrew their gazes.
Lu Jianing: "This trip was not in vain."
He Qifeng rarely agreed with Lu Jianing's words. He said, "Well, let's go to Zuimeng to save people."
"Okay." Lu Jianing agreed readily.
The two of them turned around and prepared to leave tacitly.
As Lu Jianing just turned around, a girl in a blue skirt walked up to her and blocked her way.
"You must be Lu Jianing." The girl spoke first.
Lu Jianing frowned and looked at her for a long time before answering frankly, "It's me."
He Qifeng was curious: "Do you know him?"
Lu Jianing felt that the girl in front of her was a little strange. She carefully recalled for a long time in her mind, but finally felt that she probably didn't know her.
She answered truthfully: "I don't have any impression."
"Of course you don't know me," the girl raised her chin, "I'm from the imperial capital."
"What's wrong with coming from the imperial capital?" Lu Jianing asked back, "People coming from the imperial capital have more arms or legs than us."
Lu Jianing looked at her with disdain, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
You are so young, where did you learn this arrogance?
Is it like this in the wealthy circles of the capital now?
A young lady from a wealthy family, but she is eager to become a villain.
The girl asked back: "Luke Ning, do you know my last name?"
"I really don't know, but I don't want to know either," Lu Jianing pulled He Qifeng's arm and said, "We have more important things to do right now. I advise you not to get in the way."
"Lu Jianing, I'm Qi Mengyao." As if proud, Qi Mengyao raised her head and introduced herself proudly.
Lu Jianing was stunned for a second.
Qi Mengyao?
Why is she here?
If there was no one at the scene now, Lu Jianing would definitely clench his forehead.
Damn it, Song Gengli’s little fangirl has chased someone here.
In the past, in the capital, when Song Gengli went to play with her, this little fan girl often called her to scold her.
Lu Jianing thought that since she came to Linjiang for work, the two of them probably wouldn't have much interaction.
In the end, Qi Mengyao came anyway.
Is this a fight with her?
Lu Jianing twitched his lips in embarrassment.
She was too lazy to confront Qi Mengyao head-on. Every second wasted now was a second wasted in solving the case.
Lu Jianing said perfunctorily: "I have heard a lot about you. You are really noble and domineering. You can be seen at first glance as a young lady raised by a famous family. You have an amazing temperament. I admire you."
After saying that, Lu Jianing did not forget to give two thumbs up.
Qi Mengyao seemed to be very pleased with Lu Jianing's flattery. She raised her chin and said, "That's right."
Lu Jianing: "So Miss, can you let us go? This kind of high-end occasion is really not suitable for a country bumpkin like me."
"You are quite self-aware," Qi Mengyao rolled her eyes at her. "But, Lu Jianing, look at what you are wearing? You are Brother Gengli's friend after all. If you dress like this, people will think you are from some rural village."
Lu Jianing looked down at his clothes.
Earlier, the dress she wore in the bar was poured with red wine, so Jiang Yubai and his team found a female police officer to help her change into clean clothes while she was unconscious.
But what's so poor about it?
She feels very comfortable wearing it.
"It's okay." Lu Jianing looked at his clothes and silently argued for himself.
"Is this all right?" The girl raised her voice and said, "Luke Ning, you came to Brother Gengli's cocktail party without changing into a formal dress."
The police officer was wearing a formal suit when solving a case. Is she okay?
Lu Jianing pursed his lips helplessly, his face full of disgust. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Lu Jianing, what's that expression on your face? You look so ordinary, and that expression makes you look even uglier," the girl continued to provoke, "I don't know what Brother Gengli sees in you."
Lu Jianing added: "Maybe he is blind."
"How dare you say that my brother Gengli is blind..." The girl raised her hand angrily.
Lu Jianing quickly held her arm, his expression became serious for a second. Before she could say anything, Song Gengli, who had just finished a phone call, came over at the right time.
"What are you doing?" Song Gengli asked.
Qi Mengyao broke free from Lu Jianing's restraints: "Brother Gengli, Lu Jianing said you are blind."
Hearing this, Song Gengli couldn't help but smile from time to time: "So you guys were arguing about me just now."
Lu Jianing didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Song Gengli, send the list to my phone later, I'm leaving first."
"Ningningningning." Song Gengli stepped forward and grabbed Lu Jianing's arm.
Lu Jianing: "What?"
He Qifeng pushed Song Gengli's hand off Lu Jianing's arm without leaving a trace.
Song Gengli: "Lu Jianing, I'm going to hold a birthday party here in a few days. Although you are unlucky and murders happen every time you show up, as your best friend, I'm still willing to invite you to my birthday party."
Lu Jianing paused for a second: "You have another birthday coming up."
Song Gengli: "Yes."
Lu Jianing readily agreed: "Okay, I'll give you a backup gift when the time comes."
Song Gengli: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lu Jianing patted his shoulder, as if to promise: "Okay, I have something to do now, so I'll leave first."
"It's your birthday. I will definitely go there early."
Song Gengli responded sweetly: "Okay."
