Chapter 31 Chapter 31
"Boss..." Jiang Xingye rarely saw Lu Jianing like this, he called out with a little heartache.
Seeing that Lu Jianing had no reaction, Jiang Yubai said anxiously, "Boss, this is all your guess. The prisoner didn't want to kill you. After so many years, why are you still unwilling to let yourself go?"
Lu Jianing raised his head and gave him a self-deprecating smile without any emotion: "Jiang Yubai, don't you know best whether all this is just my guess?"
Jiang Yubai's heart skipped a beat. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing continued to speak to himself: "Whether a person is worth living or dying is never determined by how much value a person can create while alive."
"Wu Jiajia deserves to live, and Shen Junzhu deserves to live too."
"No one is obligated to die for another."
Lu Jianing stared at them seriously: "Moreover, if one day my life can be exchanged for the long-term stability of this country, then I will definitely think from beginning to end that this is my best destination."
Jiang Xingye quickly explained: "That's not the case, Boss. Your father suddenly fainted at that time, and you went to the hospital to take care of him just a few days after handling the case."
"That day, the police station received a letter saying that the June 15 serial murder case was not over and that they had clues about the mastermind. They also asked you to go alone."
"Boss Lu is sick, and we can't openly look for you to come back. Jun Zhu had no choice but to say that she could wear your clothes and go in your place. Director Zhang felt that something was fishy, so he asked us to ambush the scene in advance and provide back-up support."
"But who would have thought that before the informant showed up, a riot broke out at the scene, and a robber kidnapped a little girl and tried to escape."
"While we were chasing the kidnappers, Shen Junzhu seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find her."
"By the time we got the next news, the envelope containing Jun Zhu's death photo had already been delivered to the police station."
As soon as Jiang Xingye finished speaking, the entire VIP room became eerily quiet.
After a while, Jiang Yubai, who had been silent for a long time, said: "So, Boss, you don't have to feel guilty. That was really an accident. There was no such thing as Shen Junzhu dying for you."
"Yes," Jiang Xingye said, "We just received the photo of Shen Junzhu's death. She may not have been killed by the murderer. What if the murderer took the photo and then asked the hospital to revive her?"
After taking the photos, we went to the hospital to save her life.
As if he thought Jiang Xingye's words were a bit absurd, Lu Jianing sneered: "You two, and Shen Junzhu, decided on the action plan privately without discussing it with me as the captain. Do you really think I'm just a decoration?"
"We've talked to Director Zhang." Jiang Xingye uttered a few words unconvincedly through his teeth.
Lu Jianing obviously heard it clearly. She glanced over and scared Jiang Xingye so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
Lu Jianing didn't want to argue with them about the past. She said, "Forget it, let's put it aside for now. But this is just the first time. Next time, either I beat you two so hard that you can't get out of bed, or I beat you so hard that you can't get out of bed."
"Yes." Jiang Xingye chuckled, knowing that she had calmed down.
Jiang Yubai, who was very thoughtful, asked: "Boss, what should we do next?"
Lu Jianing thought for a moment and said, "As the only son of the Ji family, Ji Yao will be tried in a few days, but his father has no reaction at all. It's quite strange."
"I have to find a chance to get close to him."
Jiang Yubai: "Ji Ruxian, I will send someone to attend Mr. Song's birthday party in a few days."
Lu Jianing: "Song Gengli?"
Jiang Yubai: "Yeah."
Lu Jianing was curious: "Ji Ruxian and Song Gengli are not of the same generation, why is he going to attend his birthday party?"
Jiang Yubai continued, "I don't know, but I heard that the drinks that Mr. Song prepared this time are from Eleanor from Haoming Winery."
Lu Jianing pondered for a moment and said, "What on earth is Ji Ruxian doing? Why does he not allow outsiders to sell his wine one moment and then allow it the next?"
What exactly is he up to?
Before Lu Jianing could figure it out, there was a crackling sound of footsteps outside. The sound was very hurried and a little chaotic.
There were even conversations between a few more people along the way.
Lu Jianing became alert and said, "Shh, there's someone outside!"
Jiang Yubai, who had undergone years of ear training, quickly replied, "There are at least five people, and they seem to be heading for us."
Lu Jianing frowned.
Although this is a shoe store, it is also the place she arranged in Linjiang to transmit information.
Normally no one would find this place.
Jiang Yubai asked anxiously: "Boss, is it Ji Ruxian's man?"
"I don't know," Lu Jianing said defensively, "Let's be on guard first. If we want to get into the suspect's social circle, we can't reveal any flaws."
Jiang Xingye: "Do I need to hide?"
Lu Jianing said bluntly: "You have nowhere to hide."
Jiang Xingye looked around and it seemed that there really was nothing.
Noticing the footsteps getting closer, Lu Jianing ordered, "Pretend to look at the shoes first, and leave the rest to me."
Jiang Xingye agreed: "Okay."
Compared to Jiang Xingye, Jiang Yubai was obviously more natural. He cooperated with Lu Jianing to take out the shoes from the shoe box, put them on the ground, pretending to try on shoes.
Lu Jianing quickly took off her high heels and handed them to Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai looked at her tacitly, then immediately squatted down. He held the soles of Lu Jianing's shoes with both hands, looking very flattering.
Jiang Xingye was lying on the cabinet, picking and choosing some women's shoes, and even remembered to cover his body with the curtain beside him in the middle of the process.

Not long after, the VIP door of the shoe store was opened with a bang, revealing the people standing at the entrance.
The bright white light shone through the wide-open door into the slightly dim private room.
Everyone outside the house was immediately shocked.
"Mr. Xiaolu." Someone in the crowd shouted.
Just now, Lu Jianing slowly raised his head and looked over.
She frowned in alarm.
How could it be him?
Why did He Qifeng bring a group of people to the women's shoe store late at night for no apparent reason?
Bai Yunan, who was standing next to He Qifeng, was also stunned. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out when he saw Jiang Yubai putting shoes on Lu Jianing in an ambiguous way in the house.
This Mr. Lu just rejected their captain's congratulations during the day, and at night he was having sex with his secretary... so! Ambiguous action.
If he were their team leader, he would probably be jealous to the point of exploding.
Bai Yunan glanced at He Qifeng beside him, and seeing that there was still no emotion on his face, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Yunan quickly adjusted his mood and greeted enthusiastically, "Boss Xiaolu, Secretary Bai."
Jiang Yubai half-turned around and was stunned for a few seconds. It was not until Bai Yunan and the others at the door called him that he came back to his senses in surprise: "Officer Bai?"
Bai Yunan pretended to be calm and asked: "Why...are you here?"
Seeing that they were acquaintances, Lu Jianing didn't need to continue pretending with Jiang Yubai. She took her foot away from Jiang Yubai's hand, walked forward a few steps in her 10cm stilettos, and said, "Officer Bai, this is a women's shoe store. What do you think I'm doing here?"
"Why were you here just now..." Bai Yunan asked implicitly.
"Trying on shoes," Lu Jianing pretended to be indifferent, "Is it weird?"
Bai Yunan immediately waved his hands: "It's not strange, it's not strange. It's just that it's strange that you asked your secretary to help you put on your shoes."
"Really? Sorry, I'm used to having someone help me put on my shoes," said Lu Jianing.
Bai Yunan smiled awkwardly.
It turns out that rich people don’t have hands!

He Qifeng said directly: "Just now, a murder occurred in this shoe store. Please go back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
Hearing this, Lu Jianing was stunned for a second, then laughed at himself: "Song Gengli is right, I am really not very lucky. I can run into a murder case even when I buy a pair of shoes."
"If you know, you will think that I can catch up with this one in ten thousand chance, I must be the chosen one." Lu Jianing paused for a second, as if to emphasize, she smiled brightly and continued, "If you don't know... you will think that I have offended someone and they are deliberately making trouble for me."
