Chapter 72 Chapter 72
Lu Jianing's sense of smell has always been the most accurate, and He Qifeng has never doubted this.
He Qifeng responded calmly: "I know." I will investigate.
Lu Zhengsong was the only one in the audience who stared at the two people with a puzzled look on his face: "Jianing, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing," Lu Jianing coquettishly took Lu Zhengsong's arm, "Dad, let He Qifeng stay at our house tonight."
"Okay, I'll ask Aunt Wang to clean up a room for us," said Lu Zhengsong.
"My brother said He Qifeng can live in his room." Lu Jianing said.
"Nonsense!" Lu Zhengsong looked a little angry. "How can your brother be a member of our family? Now that you have a boyfriend, you have forgotten all the good things your brother has done for you over the years? And you even occupy your brother's room!"
"No." Lu Jianing denied it immediately.
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter," Lu Zhengsong said firmly. "I can tolerate your nonsense in other matters, but not in this matter."
"Then I'll sleep in my brother's room," said Lu Jianing.
"Nonsense," Lu Zhengsong poked Lu Jianing's forehead, "Give up this idea as soon as possible and eat."
"I……"
After Lu Zhengsong finished speaking, he shook off Lu Jianing's hand and walked away without waiting for Lu Jianing to speak.
He Qifeng knew why Lu Jianing was so persistent in entering Lu Jiaye's room. He approached quietly and said, "There are other ways."
"There is no other way..." Lu Jianing said, "After what happened just now, I have a conflict with Lu Jia. Given his vengeful personality, we must not let anyone deliver the key to his room tonight."
"The only spare key is in my father's hands. If he doesn't give it to us, we will never be able to enter Lujiaye's room."
Noticing that He Qifeng didn't reply immediately, Lu Jianing guessed something and said, "Don't even think about sneaking in. We have more than 20 security guards patrolling 24 hours a day, and every corner is covered with cameras. You will definitely be caught if you go in openly."
"Oh, I have to remind you that the cameras in our house are all equipped with automatic alarm systems for living things. This means that any living thing that appears in an abnormal time or place, such as people, cats, dogs, mice, and cockroaches, can be located in real time. All living things, don't even think about running around in my house."
"Including you?" He Qifeng asked subconsciously.
"Unfortunately, I am the one being watched in our family," Lu Jianing said nonchalantly, "Ever since I was angry with my dad when I was a kid and shaved his head while he was sleeping, he has forbidden me to wander around the house after midnight."
Noticing that He Qifeng seemed to be thinking about something, Lu Jianing said, "Let's eat first. We'll talk about the rest later. There will always be a way."
He Qifeng: “Yeah.”
-
Lu Jianing did not have a peaceful meal.
Lu Zhengsong was complaining to He Qifeng the whole time about the embarrassing things she had done over the years, including but not limited to the whole process of her expressing her love to Shen Yichi when she was in high school.
Lu Jianing was so embarrassed that she could hardly sit still. She ate a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "I'm full. I'm leaving now."
He Qifeng raised his head slightly and was about to ask a question.
Lu Zhengsong said first: "Let her go, she is like this, she is used to doing whatever she wants, she has no manners at all."
"Yeah." He Qifeng responded.
"You are the kid from the He family, right?" Lu Zhengsong said suddenly.
He Qifeng's movements slowed down slightly.
Lu Zhengsong: "Don't be nervous, I won't tell your dad that you are here."
"I'm not familiar with Mr. He." said He Qifeng.
"Even if we are not familiar with each other, we are still family." Lu Zhengsong said, "Aren't you curious about how I recognized you?"
"Name?" He Qifeng asked.
"No," Lu Zhengsong denied immediately, "It's the appearance."
"Have you seen me before?" He Qifeng asked puzzledly.
"Yes," Lu Zhengsong said, "I brought Jianing to celebrate your birthday that year."
Lu Zhengsong saw He Qifeng's confusion and said, "You don't have any impression."
"Yeah." He Qifeng answered honestly.
Lu Zhengsong continued to try to awaken He Qifeng's memory: "Then you should still remember the little girl who kept whistling at you when you were giving a speech on the stage at your 18th birthday ceremony."
At that moment, He Qifeng seemed to have a memory suddenly connected: "Is it Lu Jianing?"
"It was her. It happened to be a critical period for cooperation between foreign companies and companies in our capital, so your father suggested holding your birthday party together with a welcome party for foreign corporate partners."
"As a result, as soon as I brought the girl to the venue, she fell in love with you at first sight. She was circling around you throughout the entire banquet. If you ignored her, she would whistle at you. She was almost setting her eyes on you."
"In the end, it was only after Kaya said you were the heir to a foreign group that she gave up on you."
After saying that, Lu Zhengsong did not forget to sigh: "I didn't expect that after so many years, she would actually catch up with me."
For a moment, He Qifeng felt mixed emotions. He said honestly, "She didn't pursue me."
"Ah?" Lu Zhengsong couldn't believe it. "Xiao He, don't be ridiculous. She didn't pursue you. How did you get together with her?"
He Qifeng did not answer his question directly, but blurted out: "Because I like her."
He Qifeng's eyes were serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
Lu Zhengsong's chopsticks that were holding the rice suddenly froze for a moment, as if he was frightened. After a while, he reacted and poked at his rice: "Oh... oh, it's good."
Good……
Ever since He Qifeng came in, Lu Zhengsong has been quite satisfied with this young man.
Whether in appearance or height and figure, he is absolutely the best among the crowd. It is not an exaggeration to say that if He Qifeng was not already a policeman, he really wanted to recruit He Qifeng into his own entertainment company as the face of the company.
Even if you are just a vase who can't act, sing or do business, you can still attract a lot of fans.
Even though he is nearly thirty years old now, there is still no sign of aging on his face. He looks like a mature young man who just graduated from college!
How could a man who is almost perfect in both appearance and career like his daughter?
"Oh, no," Lu Zhengsong became more and more confused as he thought about it. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao He, our Jianing is indeed pretty. With us as a backup, she doesn't have to worry about food and drink. But, her personality is a bit hard to describe. In addition to burning, killing and looting, she has indeed done many improper things."
"Admittedly, the development of the child's personality in this family is indeed related to us as parents. However, after so many years, her personality has been solidified. You know, it really can't be changed in a short time."
"Even if the behavior changes, the mindset has already solidified and there is no way to change it."
"If you haven't been with her for a few years and are not ready to walk with her forever..." At this point, Lu Zhengsong hesitated. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should say the rest of the words.
He Qifeng listened patiently without interrupting Lu Zhengsong's next words.
"I also ask you to treat her well," Lu Zhengsong said with a slight sob, "If you get tired of her in the future and find her personality unbearable, you must let her return to me safely."
"I only have this one daughter, and she is more precious than my life."
This is the only expectation a father has for the person his daughter likes. Even though Lu Zhengsong has been high up and overlooking the business world for nearly twenty years, he is no exception.
But although this request was not too excessive, He Qifeng did not dare to promise it easily.
Because Lu Jianing is a policeman.
And the police are a profession that can devote their all to the safety of people's lives at any time and anywhere...
"Don't worry, I will protect her," He Qifeng promised, "even if it costs me all my life and blood, I will make sure she is safe."
"Well," Lu Zhengsong wiped his tears, "I believe you, kid."
After that, Lu Zhengsong took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and placed them in front of He Qifeng: "I know your real purpose for approaching Jianing. This is the key you need."
He Qifeng seemed to have anticipated Lu Zhengsong's intention. He stared at the key without taking any further action.
Lu Zhengsong said considerately: "Don't worry, since you promised not to hurt my daughter, I won't tell anyone about this."
"Besides, if that child is on the right path, I also hope that you can clear his name."
The child he was referring to was probably Luke.
He Qifeng took the key hesitantly.
Having said that, He Qifeng did not intend to hide it from Lu Zhengsong: "Don't worry, we will enforce the law impartially."
"After all, the child is ours. Before we investigate thoroughly, please protect his reputation and don't let other members of our family find out." Lu Zhengsong continued, "It's not good for our two children if they gossip about us."
"Okay." He Qifeng agreed.
"As for Jianing, I also ask you to keep it a secret from her. She has a very simple mind and should not be exposed to these things too early." Lu Zhengsong said.
The perceptive He Qifeng seemed to have sensed something, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle Lu, did you notice anything?"
“No,” Lu Zhengsong shook his head and said earnestly, “What can a self-employed person like me detect…”
"Take your time to eat. I'm going back to my room now," Lu Zhengsong didn't plan to continue. "I'm old now, and my body can't stand the hardship any more. After giving my daughter a good scolding, I can't stand it any more."
He Qifeng did not stop him. He held the key in his hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lu."
"Um... um..." In response, Lu Zhengsong, who was leaving, paused.
He turned his back to He Qifeng and said, "Xiao He, although I don't know how much of what you said just now is true or false, my little girl still used her identity to help you unknowingly. I hope you won't be ungrateful. Even if we break up in the future, please make up a more reasonable reason."
"Just let her stop bothering you. There's no need to make her too sad."
"Well," He Qifeng seemed to be promising, "I won't let her down."
"Okay... okay, that's good." Muttering, Lu Zhengsong disappeared around the corner.
Soon, Lu Jianing's playful voice came from the corner.
"Dad, what's wrong with your waist? Did you sprain it when you hit me? Why don't you pay more attention... Hey, what do you mean I deliberately made you angry? It's obviously you who refuses to accept your age..."
"Hey, do you want an apple? Aunt Wang just washed it for me... What do you mean you can't wash it yourself because you don't have hands? Aunt Wang took pity on me and took it to my room. What else could it be? Of course Aunt Wang spoils me."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to see my boyfriend. He must miss me."
After saying that, Lu Jianing poked his head out from the corner. As if he had already expected that she would appear in that direction, He Qifeng had been staring at that direction and waiting.
As soon as she turned her head, her eyes met with He Qifeng, who was already prepared.
Lu Jianing looked around carefully, and after making sure that no one was following her, she ran quickly to He Qifeng holding the apple.
She asked in a low voice: "Uncle Master, what did my father say to you just now?"
Feeling guilty, He Qifeng clenched the key in his hand and said, "Nothing. You just told me some things about your past."
Lu Jianing pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "How come he has so many things to talk about?"
"I'm telling you, don't believe a word he says," Lu Jianing said, "Nothing he says about me is true."
"At least there is one thing I can be sure is true." He Qifeng said.
"Which one?" asked Lu Jianing after taking a bite of the apple.
He Qifeng: "When you were thirteen, you whistled to tease an eighteen-year-old high school student."
"It's definitely a frame-up," Lu Jianing denied, "I definitely didn't do it."
"Really?" He Qifeng said with a smile, "I heard that when someone was speaking, you whistled at them in front of all the guests, and you even turned around."
After his memory was awakened, Lu Jianing's face instantly turned red with shame: "How could I possibly do such a thing?"
"If my father says something like this to you again, you must make him produce evidence," Lu Jianing said. "It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it."
He Qifeng: "After so many years, there is probably no evidence."
"Right." Lu Jianing breathed a sigh of relief.
He Qifeng: "But there are witnesses."
Lu Jianing's eyes widened instantly: "Huh?!"
She smiled calmly on the surface, but her mind was actually in a mess.
She clearly remembered that Luke had told her that the little boy was of mixed blood from abroad...
Now I am no longer in the country...
It would probably be quite troublesome to find it now. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
If she refused to admit it, He Qifeng might not be able to do anything to her...
Thinking of this, Lu Jianing said righteously: "Uncle Master, the first thing we need to do now is to carry out our mission. I think it's a bit of a waste of our police force to find witnesses who can't even be called a case."
"No need to look for it." He Qifeng said.
"No need to look for it?" Lu Jianing smiled awkwardly, "You are such a joke, how can I not need to look for it?" This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"No kidding," He Qifeng said, "Because that person is me."
Lu Jianing:? ! This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
