Chapter 41 Chapter 41
Noticing Lu Jianing's distraction, He Qifeng asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Well, I think I know who the murderer is," Lu Jianing nodded, "but I don't have any evidence."
"How do you need me to cooperate with you?" He Qifeng asked bluntly. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing stared at him with great interest, and once again couldn't help but use her taunting skill. She said in a sly voice, "Captain He, you are quite sensible."
He Qifeng: "Hmm?"
Before He Qifeng exploded, Lu Jianing stopped while he was ahead.
She coughed lightly, and her expression became serious for a second: "Captain He, I will give you the hair information later, and you can take it to Jiang Xingye for inspection. If it matches, we can basically arrest him; if it doesn't match, just regard it as my reasoning error."
"What's the name of the person you want to investigate?" He Qifeng said, "I'll ask Tang Wan and the others to do a background check outside first."
"Shi Yingying," Lu Jianing said bluntly, "but I'm not sure if that's his real name."
"It doesn't matter," He Qifeng said, "Whether it's true or not, let's check it first."
Lu Jianing readily agreed: "Okay."
Let him be, it’s not her who did the work anyway.
He Qifeng lowered his eyes: "What are you going to do next?"
"Of course I went to pick a fight," Lu Jianing looked up at him, raising his eyebrows unconsciously, "Not to mention that I didn't get mad the whole night, I felt itchy inside."
"It's just that, Captain He, I may need your cooperation this time."
He Qifeng was silent for a moment: "Hmm?"
-
Lu Jianing led the way in front, and only stopped when she walked in front of Qi Mengyao.
She picked up the goblet next to her and shook it casually, causing the red wine inside to swirl along the wall of the glass.
Lu Jianing: "Miss Qi."
Qi Mengyao wanted to leave, but was stopped by the auxiliary police at the door, which made her unhappy.
Now, just as she had calmed down her temper in the corner, the annoying Lu Jianing came up to her again. What's the difference between this and asking for trouble!
Qi Mengyao rolled her eyes at her: "Lu Jianing, what are you doing here?"
"The police at the door said I hadn't finished giving my statement and wouldn't let me out." Lu Jianing lied, "I was too lazy to go out, so I could only come and chat with you."
"Lu Jianing, stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows that you just said at the door that someone smashed Brother Gengli's place, so you took the initiative to find a group of strong men to cooperate with the police investigation," Qi Mengyao said, "I don't think you are too lazy to go out. You are afraid that if you go out now, the group of police will not be able to control the place later."
After saying that, Qi Mengyao said with disdain, "Why are you pretending to be so magnanimous?"
"Then get out," Lu Jianing said, "I don't remember Miss Qi, who is famous in the imperial capital, being someone who would listen to me."
"I am cooperating with Brother Gengli, not to save your face." Qi Mengyao said proudly, "Don't be so self-indulgent."
Lu Jianing chuckled and agreed, "Yes."
Lu Jianing had just finished answering when Qi Mengyao, who was angry, looked up and saw He Qifeng standing next to her.
A few days ago, she had met He Qifeng, also here, but at that time he and Lu Jianing seemed to be here on business and were in a hurry.
She didn't even have time to take a good look at the "newcomer" in front of her.
Qi Mengyao didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Lu Jianing, why is he still your bodyguard? You even let him wear waiter's clothes. Are you playing some kind of role-playing game?"
"Yeah," Lu Jianing asked back, as if to tease her, "Compared to my former secretary, how do you think it is?"
Qi Mengyao said without any defense: "She is indeed prettier than Secretary Jiang..."
Qi Mengyao's eyes suddenly widened as she spoke: "Lu Jianing! You wouldn't fire Secretary Jiang who works so diligently for you just because he's good-looking, would you?"
Lu Jianing found her reaction very interesting. She crossed her chest and deliberately annoyed her, "Is it not possible?"
"You...you are a philandering woman. Why do you only look at his face when you look at people?" Qi Mengyao was so angry that she said.
"If I don't look at your face..." Lu Jianing stretched out his hand to deliberately block He Qifeng's face, then turned his head to look at He Qifeng's figure for several times, and said, "This figure seems to be quite attractive."
Lu Jianing's eyes fell on He Qifeng's belly without restraint: "I can't even imagine how many muscles there are here..."
As she spoke, Lu Jianing deliberately stretched out her hand, and when she was about to touch him, He Qifeng grabbed her restless hand.
The two looked at each other. Lu Jianing smiled arrogantly and wantonly. Every expression seemed to be a provocation. She shook her head carefully at He Qifeng a few times.
But unfortunately, He Qifeng couldn't do anything to her.
Almost at the same time, Qi Mengyao screamed: "Lu Jianing! What are you doing!"
Realizing that she had finally pissed off Qi Mengyao again, Lu Jianing smiled imperceptibly.
She took her hand back and turned to face Qi Mengyao: "What's wrong?"
Qi Mengyao's face flushed red, as if it was her, not Lu Jianing, who had acted rudely towards He Qifeng.
"Aren't you shy at all?!" Qi Mengyao said shyly.
"Why should I be shy?" Lu Jianing said openly. "If you live in this world, what's the point of not being lustful? How are you? Especially since the person standing next to me is such a stunning beauty."
Qi Mengyao pursed her lips awkwardly.
That makes sense.
Anyway, Lu Jianing has always been shameless, so it is normal for him to do something extreme.
Qi Mengyao hesitated and said, "Then...then you are with this little waiter, what about Brother Gengli?"
Lu Jianing's eyes suddenly became very relieved.
Miss, you finally thought of this. She has been laying the groundwork for so long. It is really not easy.
Qi Mengyao looked at her with disgust: "Why are you looking at me with such slimy eyes? It's disgusting."
"I've told you before that I don't like Song Gengli," Lu Jianing pulled He Qifeng towards him, "I like this."
"Like this?" Qi Mengyao looked at He Qifeng in surprise for several times before moving closer to Lu Jianing. She glanced at He Qifeng and asked cautiously, "Lu Jianing, you like older men?"
In an instant, He Qifeng felt as if something had stabbed him in the heart.
Lu Jianing almost sneered. She also imitated Qi Mengyao and answered stealthily: "Old bacon, the older it is, the more delicious it is."
Qi Mengyao stole a few glances at He Qifeng again before answering with certainty: "You are right."
He Qifeng: ...
"I can hear it." He Qifeng said seriously.
"We didn't do this on purpose," Lu Jianing said nonchalantly, "You can hear it if you want."
He Qifeng choked.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Qi Mengyao began to believe it a little. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Her eyes were shining, and she confirmed again: "You really don't like Song Gengli."
"I don't like it." Lu Jianing shook his head affirmatively.
"So you came here this time..." Qi Mengyao couldn't hide her excitement.
"It was officially announced to you." Lu Jianing replied immediately.
Qi Mengyao: "!! You didn't lie to me."
Lu Jianing did not answer her question directly, but said: "If I like Song Gengli, I am a puppy."
Qi Mengyao: "Then you are not allowed to like Song Gengli in the future."
"Okay." Lu Jianing agreed promptly.
"Lu Jianing, I'm determined to make you my friend. You're a loyal person." Qi Mengyao said without holding a grudge.
"We are not enemies anymore, right?" Lu Jianing said, "I think you won't pick on me on purpose next time we meet."
"No, no, we don't have any deep hatred." Qi Mengyao said.
Lu Jianing raised his glass and said, "To celebrate this happy moment, how about we have a drink?"
"I don't drink red wine." Qi Mengyao said.
Lu Jianing used his other free hand to pick up a glass of juice from the side and handed it to Qi Mengyao: "You drink the juice, and I'll drink the wine."
"Okay." Qi Mengyao personally handed Shi Yingying beside her a glass of juice, "Yingying, it's rare for me to be happy, so let's keep one company."
"Okay." Shi Yingying, who was standing aside silently, took the juice and drank it all.
Lu Jianing and He Qifeng, who were observing her silently, were staring at her neck almost the entire time.
But she seemed to have anticipated it. Whether she was looking up or shaking, she covered her neck with her hands in a very ladylike manner.
That's cautious enough.
Lu Jianing frowned.
Qi Mengyao drank it all in one gulp, not feeling anything wrong. She looked at Lu Jianing in confusion: "Jianing, why don't you drink?"
"Ah... I drank it," Lu Jianing replied immediately, "It's just that the taste of red wine is quite strong, and it's not as pleasant as a drink."
"Then don't drink. It's dangerous for girls to drink outside." Qi Mengyao handed her another glass of orange juice, "Drink this."
"Okay," Lu Jianing looked at Shi Yingying who had become quiet again, "Is Yingying always quiet?"
"Yes," Qi Mengyao said, "She caught a cold a few days ago and her throat has been uncomfortable ever since."

"Then what is the red color on her neck..." Lu Jianing continued to ask.
"Ah——" Qi Mengyao screamed and interrupted her, "How can you, a girl, ask such a thing?"
Lu Jianing said tactfully: "I just think her boyfriend is a sucker. This kind of mark will not disappear in ten days or half a month."
"Yeah," Qi Mengyao seemed to be speaking up for Shi Yingying, "Yingying's boyfriend really doesn't know how to be considerate. He sucked all over her neck, so Yingying has to wear a scarf every time she wants to go out to play."
"Then why does she want to come out? Isn't it better for her to stay at home?" Lu Jianing said.
"Yingying said that her fiancé might come to such a big party, so she wanted to find him to break off the engagement." Qi Mengyao answered for Shi Yingying.
Lu Jianing stared at Shi Yingying and asked, "Then why don't you just go find the person involved?"
"Lu Jianing, you know that children from wealthy families like us are destined to enter into business marriages from birth," Qi Mengyao said, "If we find someone privately, even if the other person is willing to see her, they may not be willing to cancel the engagement due to their parents' face."
"You don't mind having a boyfriend?" Lu Jianing asked again.
"If there is no emotional foundation, it doesn't matter if you mess around outside," Qi Mengyao said, "as long as you can't have a child."
Qi Mengyao explained Lu Jianing's problems one by one for Shi Yingying. What else could she say!
Lu Jianing was helpless: "It's quite perverted."
"Who said it wasn't!" Qi Mengyao, who was completely unaware of the situation, echoed.
Lu Jianing held out his hand: "I'll toast you a glass."
"Um."
Shi Yingying, who had been silent for a long time, and Qi Mengyao, who had been talking nonstop, drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Jianing filled their glasses again. As if she empathized with Shi Yingying's experience, she raised her glass and said with a little tipsiness, "I wish you freedom!"
Freedom is exactly what Qi Mengyao pursues. She touched Lu Jianing's glass and said, "To freedom!"
Shi Yingying accompanied him and drank it all in one gulp.
This time, He Qifeng, who saw through Lu Jianing's intention, took the initiative to fill the glasses for the three of them.
Lu Jianing: "May we be free from disasters and find our loved ones soon!"
Qi Mengyao gradually became excited: "May we get what we want."
Shi Yingying continued to drink it all up.
Lu Jianing kept toasting, but every word she said hit Qi Mengyao right in the heart.
Therefore, Qi Mengyao, who was so confused that she forgot herself, not only got drunk herself, but also asked Shi Yingying to drink with her.
Finally, after the fifth round of persuading people to drink, Shi Yingying couldn't hold it in any longer: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay, go ahead." Qi Mengyao said.
Lu Jianing shook his wine glass and watched Shi Yingying gradually disappear around the corner.
She tilted her head and pointed to the cup on the table that Shi Yingying had used to drink towards He Qifeng.
Then, he turned to Qi Mengyao and said, "Mengyao, I want to go to the bathroom too. Wait for me to come back."
"Okay, go slow." Qi Mengyao said as she continued drinking.
Lu Jianing followed Shi Yingying to the restroom. As soon as she turned the corner, she saw Shi Yingying looking melancholy at the empty door.
The men's restroom is on the left and the women's restroom is on the right.
She leaned against the wall with her chest crossed: "It's just going to the toilet. When did it cause a breakdown in decision-making?"
