Chapter 34 Chapter 34
Lu Jianing narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
Is it a provocation?
Or crime warning information?
Is the person who sent this message the same person who killed Lu Fan?
What is the purpose of invading her system and sending the information to her?
Is it a business war, or...
Before Lu Jianing could figure out the answer, Jiang Yubai quickly came over from a distance.
"Mr. Lu." Jiang Yubai adjusted his breathing and called softly.
Lu Jianing took back her thoughts and glanced at him. Seeing that his expression was a little serious, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Ji has something to talk to you about." Jiang Yubai handed over his cell phone.
Lu Jianing glanced at his phone inconspicuously and asked, "Which President Ji?"
Jiang Yubai said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's Ji Ruxian, Ji Yao's father."
Lu Jianing thought for a moment, then took the phone and put it to his ear: "Hello."
"Mr. Xiaolu, long time no see." Ji Ruxian's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing these hypocritical compliments, Lu Jianing's brows were twisted into knots.
Did she meet Ji Ruxian seriously? How come it’s been so long?
Lu Jianing suppressed her urge to complain. She thought for a while and adjusted her mood. She said slowly, "Uncle Ji, it's been a long time. Last time, I embarrassed you in front of so many people. It was a junior like me who acted in an impolite and inconsiderate way."
"This... I haven't called you to apologize yet, but you called me first."
Lu Jianing deliberately used the tone of a junior to be polite and said, "Well, I'll take some time out to visit Uncle Ji and your son with gifts some other day as an apology."
"No way! As an elder, how can I take it to heart when you kids just say those angry words?" Ji Ruxian said as usual.
Lu Jianing continued to be falsely polite: "You don't take it to heart, which shows that you are magnanimous and generous. I took advantage of my young age and spoke nonsense on various occasions. It was my fault and lack of consideration."
"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me immediately and I will apologize."
Ji Ruxian finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked, "Is that all you want to say?" This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Oh..." Lu Jianing pretended to be enlightened. She said, "Of course, it can't be just these. From now on, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and make a new life. I will never cause trouble to Uncle Ji and the entire Linjiang City business community."
When Lu Jianing finished speaking, Ji Ruxian asked, "Is that all?"
Lu Jianing pretended to be dumb: "Uncle Ji, do you want me to say anything else? I've reflected on the past and envisioned the future... Could it be that Uncle Ji wants to hear about the five plans I'm implementing to change myself?"
Ji Ruxian was silent, as if he noticed that Lu Jianing had been practicing Tai Chi with him since he answered the phone.
Every word she said seemed like a sincere apology, but in fact it was all nonsense, and she didn't reveal any useful information to him.
Ji Ruxian believed that if he continued to delay, Lu Jianing would be able to engage in seven or eight rounds of useless nonsense with him.
He didn't want to waste time, so he asked directly: "Mr. Xiaolu, is your company's internal network working normally today?"
Is this normal?
Her company is working so much overtime now, he asked himself if the company's internal network is normal?
He must have done it on purpose.
Lu Jianing groaned in a tone that the other party couldn't hear, and then pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Not so good, our company's new game is about to be launched, but it was suddenly attacked by hackers today. Our company's technicians are working hard to repair it."
As if thinking of something, Lu Jianing continued, "Could it be that Uncle Ji did this? To punish me for being rude in front of the reporters a few days ago?"
Without waiting for Ji Ruxian to answer, Lu Jianing continued to put the blame on Ji Ruxian: "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have called the police if I had known it was your punishment. I was... quite scared just now, thinking that I had offended some professional killer who wanted to kill me to silence me."
As if he was amused by Lu Jianing's timid tone, Ji Ruxian was in a good mood. His tone of voice unconsciously became a little cheerful. He said, "Mr. Xiaolu, you are joking. Who would hire someone to kill someone in this world?"
Who can?
“You.”
With just one sentence, Lu Jianing directly controlled Ji Ruxian for several seconds.
Noticing that Ji Ruxian hadn't said anything, Lu Jianing laughed a few more times and said, "I'm kidding again. How can Uncle Ji be considered a lawbreaker?"
After a while, Ji Ruxian replied, "My dear niece, you are really a joker." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Yes, my father often says that," Lu Jianing said, "but Uncle Ji went too far this time. You said that there is no need to involve the company's employees in the grudge between you and me. Our company's employees have been working overtime for more than an hour. If you don't feel sorry for them, I do."
Ji Ruxian seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and he said word by word in a muffled voice: "I didn't hack your system."
"Look, it was my misunderstanding again." Lu Jianing apologized with a smile.
"Uncle Ji is the only one who has a good temper and can tolerate my outspokenness," Lu Jianing continued, "My biggest shortcoming since I was a child is that I am very straightforward. I never beat around the bush and always say what I think. That's why I have offended many people in the past few years of starting my own business."
"I can achieve what I have today entirely thanks to partners like Uncle Ji who are generous and don't care about it."
Noticing that Lu Jianing had changed the subject again without leaving any trace, Ji Ruxian quickly corrected him: "Has your internal system been repaired?"
"No," Lu Jianing said, "The people in our company have been slacking off recently and have no ability to handle emergencies. Sigh - after this busy period is over, I will definitely hire a few more full-time employees."
"But..." Lu Jianing suddenly smiled and asked, "How did Mr. Ji know that our internal network was attacked? Could it be that you have arranged a spy in my company?"
Ji Ruxian was silent again.
Lu Jianing, who had been testing him, laughed a few times: "How could Uncle Ji possibly do such a rubbish trick?"
Lu Jianing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Right?"
"Yes," Ji Ruxian said bluntly, "But I called you today because I have something to tell you."
"You say." Lu Jianing said seriously and "respectfully".
"Our company's internal network was also attacked today," Ji Ruxian continued, "but during the repair process, we found a strange code. And after the programmers studied it, they found a sentence hidden in it."
"That sentence is - Lu Jianing, I'll be waiting for you in Longhaideyou."
Lu Jianing frowned and asked, "Is that all?"
"Just this one sentence." Ji Ruxian said quickly without any hesitation.
Lu Jianing: "You didn't say the time?"
"No." Ji Ruxian answered quickly.
Lu Jianing said quickly: "Okay, I understand, thank you Uncle Ji."
Ji Ruxian: "You're welcome."
Lu Jianing: "Then...Uncle Ji, if you have nothing else to do, I'll hang up first."
Lu Jianing's calmness seemed to be beyond Ji Ruxian's expectations. He hurriedly said, "Okay... okay, okay."
"Uncle Ji, see you again if there's a chance."
After saying that, Lu Jianing quickly hung up the phone without waiting for Ji Ruxian to react.
Earlier, Lu Jianing and Jiang Yubai walked slowly to the office while talking on the phone.
I don't know if he came in when he was saying that.
Anyway, by the time Lu Jianing gathered her consciousness, she was already sitting at her desk.
Jiang Yubai, who had been listening to the conversation between the two people silently, asked: "Boss, how much do you believe Ji Ruxian's words?"
"To be honest, I don't believe a word of it." Lu Jianing said seriously.
Jiang Yubai: "Hmm?"
Lu Jianing said, "First of all, he used a clue left on his internal network as an excuse to find me. It seemed reasonable, but the way he asked me was wrong."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yubai continued to ask.
Lu Jianing: "The first thing he asked me was, did you know that your company's network was attacked?"
"This means that before making this call, Ji Ruxian knew and was sure that our company had been hacked."
Jiang Yubai: "Is it possible that he guessed it from the clues he found in that program?"
"That's impossible," Lu Jianing said. "According to normal human logic, if he had discovered the clue, he would have first described his experience of having his internal network hacked, then asked me if I had the same experience, and finally told me the clue."
"And the way he stated it, except for the last step, everything else was just the opposite."

First of all, I have finished.
"What's next?" Jiang Yubai asked.
"Secondly, when I mentioned professional killers, Ji Ruxian said a word—" Lu Jianing smiled confidently, "hiring someone to kill someone."
"So, I don't know whether the intended target of this murder is Lu Fan who died a few hours ago, or me."
Jiang Yubai immediately said, "Do you need me to tell Captain He about all this?"
"No need," Lu Jianing said quickly, "All of the above are my guesses. There is no actual evidence, so there is no point in talking about it."
"But you can ask He Qifeng to send a few more people to protect the scene on Song Gengli's birthday."
Jiang Yubai: "Boss, are you suspicious that someone will take action at Longhai Deyou on Song Gengli's birthday?"
"Yes," Lu Jianin said thoughtfully, "I don't believe that the criminal who issued the warning went to such great lengths just to scare me."
“So, I think he will definitely take action in Longhai Deyou.”
Jiang Yubai asked curiously: "How did you calculate Song Gengli's birthday?"
"Because the original words in the crime notice were - Lu Jianing, I'll wait for you at Longhai Deyou," Lu Jianing said, "This sentence shows that the criminal knew that I would go to Longhai Deyou to attend the cocktail party for Song Gengli, so he said "I'll wait for you" instead of "Longhai Deyou, let's find out" or "On xx day, I'll wait for you at Longhai Deyou."
"Since it was a warning, the criminal must have wanted me to be there. If I wasn't there on the day he committed the crime, then his warning would be meaningless."
So, it can only be the time I can go to Longhai Deyou.
That is Song Gengli’s birthday gift.
After Lu Jianing finished reasoning, Jiang Yubai realized something belatedly. He asked, "Boss, do you feel strange? Your son committed a crime and was taken to the police station. In a few days, the judge will publicly try the case. But Ji Ruxian behaved as if nothing had happened..."
Yes, Ji Ruxian should have hung his head and stamped his feet, should have made a big fuss, and even scolded her for being forced to "get involved" in it.
But he didn't, his emotions were very stable, so stable that he was unaware of everything...
But...how is that possible?
How could he, as a father, not know anything when his own son broke the law?
Lu Jianing changed the subject and said, "Just now, in the conversation with Ji Ruxian, I mentioned his son several times, but he didn't seem to want to tell me that 'Ji Yao was taken to the police station by He Qifeng and others'. Sometimes he even avoided the topic deliberately."
Jiang Yubai: "Is it possible that he doesn't know that we are related to Ji Yao's case?"
Lu Jianing shook his head thoughtfully: "It's impossible, because a few days ago, I was mistaken for a murderer in his son's bar, and the news has long been spread in the circle. Even if Ji Ruxian is very secretive, it is impossible that he doesn't know about this."
Jiang Yubai: "Could it be possible that family disgrace should not be made public? Ji Ruxian feels that Ji Yao is ashamed?"
"I don't think so," Lu Jianing said while thinking, "In fact, I feel that his attitude towards me is more like suppressing his grief and anger..."
"And be ready to impose extra-legal punishment on everyone at any time."
