Chapter 73 Chapter 73
"Cough... cough cough..." Lu Jianing couldn't help but cough a few times.
It's like a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other.
How could the handsome boy she flirted with in junior high school be He Qifeng!
Damn, her aesthetic taste hasn't changed at all over the years!
Lu Jianing immediately changed the subject and said, "Uncle Master, I just sent a message to Jiang Yubai, asking him to help secretly investigate the place where Lu Jia also went today. I believe that it won't be long before we can dig out all of Eleanor's secrets." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Okay," He Qifeng stood up and ruffled Lu Jianing's hair, "I understand."
"Where are you going?" Lu Jianing asked, looking at his back, confused.
"Go back to the room." He Qifeng replied casually.
"Hey!" Lu Jianing gently lowered his clenched fist.
Is it her illusion? Why did she feel that He Qifeng's back looked so annoying at this moment?
-
The next day, Lu Jianing got into He Qifeng's car with dark circles under his eyes.
Glancing at Lu Jianing's slightly twitching eyelids, He Qifeng asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"
The young and frivolous boy blew a rogue whistle that could turn at a handsome guy.
Even after being rejected, she would still shamelessly approach him and continue to brag in order to attract his attention.
result! Now! That person not only became his colleague in the same department, but also became his partner in secret missions!
When this bloody scene happened to him, Lu Jianing wished he could find a piece of land to bury himself.
Lu Jianin replied weakly, "A little bit."
"Are you embarrassed by what happened yesterday?" He Qifeng continued to ask.
Isn’t it?
Although her position is higher than He Qifeng's now, it doesn't mean that the higher the position, the thicker the skin.
"No," Lu Jianing refused to admit it, "I haven't been home for a long time, so I don't recognize my bed anymore."
No one would believe this lame excuse, including He Qifeng.
The corners of his lips unconsciously raised a slight arc.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the car, Lu Jianing couldn't help herself anymore. She twisted her body as much as possible within the range of the seat belt and said, "Master, whether you believe it or not, I was frivolous when I was a minor, and I did flirt with some good-looking boys."
"But I swear that my actions are absolutely within the scope of the law and have never violated their rights."
"The worst time was when I chased you and whistled at you."
He Qifeng continued to remain silent.
Lu Jianing thought he didn't answer her because he was angry, so she continued to apologize, "I know I shouldn't have embarrassed you in front of everyone when you were giving a speech and the whole audience was silent."
"But wasn't I punished by my father on the spot? You saw it on the stage."
When Lu Jianing said this, He Qifeng's memory was awakened again.
It seemed to be true, as Lu Jianing was crazily "tease" him in the audience at the time, saying things like "Are you single and dating online?", "I love you, string them together and let's become a big skewer of meat", and even added various heart-shaped and flying kisses actions. He was really audacious.
As a result, when she was halfway through, Lu Zhengsong, who came across the crowd to stop her, covered her mouth on the spot and muttered, "Ancestor, please shut up."
The farce ended only when Lu Zhengsong dragged Lu Jianing out of the venue.
"Yeah, I saw a little bit." He Qifeng replied.
a little? !
Lu Jianing didn't want to argue with him.
A little bit is better than not seeing it at all.
—
The car drove all the way to the gate of the Imperial Capital Second Senior High School before stopping.
Lu Jianing rolled down the car window and shouted to the security guard, "Uncle, I'm Lu Jianing, who made an appointment with the principal yesterday to meet today. Please let us in."
It seemed as if the principal had given notice in advance, or as if the security guard knew Lu Jianing before, and after Lu Jianing finished speaking, he had already opened the door with his key.
The gate was automated. The old man sitting in the security room pressed the key lightly and the door opened slowly.
It was class time and there was no student outside, but in order to avoid accidents, He Qifeng still set the speed to a very low level.
After finding a parking space and parking, Lu Jianing walked out.
"Janin, you're here." The principal came over from not far away.
"Hello, Principal." Lu Jianing responded obediently.
The principal of the Second Senior High School in the Imperial Capital was a middle-aged woman in her forties, slightly plump, with a round face full of kindness and affability.
Although Lu Jianing had not attended many formal classes in high school, her many years of mischief left a deep impression on the principal.
"Janin, what are you doing now? Have you inherited the family business?" asked the principal.
"No," Lu Jianing said half-seriously, "I think I'm quite suitable to be a vagrant, so I've been playing around for the past few years."
"But that won't do. You're so young, how can you just muddle through your life?" the principal said. "You can just do a little work within your ability."
"Although your family is rich, we can't stand you wasting money. How can you live off all your savings?"
Lu Jianing laughed dryly and did not reply immediately.
He Qifeng, who happened to have parked his car, came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I am receiving loving career guidance from my teacher." Lu Jianing replied.
The moment He Qifeng appeared, the principal's eyes immediately lit up: "Jianing, is this the boyfriend you told me about on the phone?"
"Yes," Lu Jianing carefully moved closer to He Qifeng, "He said he wanted to see the place where I lived in high school, so I brought him here."
"You young people really know how to have fun." The principal asked, "What does your boyfriend do for a living? He looks quite respectable."
"He's a policeman." Lu Jianing said proudly.
"Police?" The principal was obviously surprised for a second, "How did you two know each other?"
"When I went to a party, a murder happened and he was the main person in charge of the case at that time." Lu Jianing said with a smile.
"No wonder." The principal murmured. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"My boyfriend and I are going on a date after touring the campus. Principal, please let me go." Lu Jianing begged for mercy.
"Okay," the principal obviously couldn't resist Lu Jianing's coquettish offensive, "It's class time now, please keep your voices down and don't disturb the students."
Lu Jianing made an OK gesture.
After the principal left, Lu Jianing took out a stack of information from the car: "This is the information of Shen Yichi's sister Shen Sui. According to investigation, she was last seen in school three days ago, which was the day we first came to the capital. The school teacher called to inquire about Shen Sui's situation, but Shen Yichi, as a brother, insisted that Shen Sui hated school and didn't want to go to school."
"Chen Sui was not a good student and had expressed the idea of dropping out in front of the teacher many times, so the teacher did not doubt her. After Shen Yichi explained the situation, he asked Shen Yichi to persuade her well."
"Do you suspect that Chen Sui was kidnapped three days ago?" He Qifeng asked.
"Yes," Lu Jianing said, "The timing coincides with the time when Shen Yichi appeared."
He Qifeng threw the information back into the car: "Let's go to the classroom and check the situation first."
Before Lu Jianing could respond, a kind voice came from not far away: "Lu Jianing?"
Lu Jianing, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Shen Yichi in the distance with caution.
Was he following me under Luke's orders, or was it just a coincidence?
He Qifeng subconsciously stood in front of Lu Jianing: "What are you doing here?"
"I..." Shen Yichi hesitated, "My sister is tired of studying and is staying at home recently. I came to help her get her textbooks."
Lu Jianing, who was hiding behind He Qifeng, pinched his nose helplessly.
It’s already tiring to investigate the case, and I have to act with Shen Yichi.
Is she an actress? Arrange so many dramas for yourself every day!
Lu Jianing leaned over from behind and whispered in He Qifeng's ear, "Let him go, let him go, let him go quickly."
He Qifeng glanced at her sideways.
Shen Yichi looked at the intimate behavior of the two and asked in confusion: "What happened to Jianing?"
"She doesn't want to see you." He Qifeng said mercilessly. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing: “Hmm?”
Is it so direct? !
Lu Jianing smiled awkwardly and walked out from behind He Qifeng: "Not really... I'm mainly afraid that if we meet too often, my boyfriend will get jealous."
"I am indeed jealous." As he said that, He Qifeng pulled her towards him.
Lu Jianing had never expected He Qifeng to do this. She was completely unprepared and was directly pulled into He Qifeng's arms.
Feeling the sudden impact, Lu Jianing was hit hard and felt pain.
"Hiss..." Lu Jianing took a breath of cold air.
After finally coming to her senses, she looked up at He Qifeng with resentment.
He did it on purpose!
"You two have such a good relationship."
Shen Yichi's attitude remained gentle, and there was no change in his emotion in his tone.
Even Lu Jianing felt that he now was the Shen Yichi she knew before.
When they met yesterday, he was keen on getting close to her and trying to get close to her, so why did he become so "normal" today?
Noticing that Shen Yichi had no intention of pestering her, Lu Jianing suggested, “If there’s nothing else, my boyfriend and I will leave first.”
"Wait a moment." Shen Yichi suddenly called her.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jianing turned around and asked.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years. Can I take a photo with you?" Shen Yichi said.
"Okay." Lu Jianing agreed readily, "But I want to bring my boyfriend along."
"Okay." Shen Yichi agreed.
Lu Jianing affectionately took He Qifeng's arm, while Shen Yichi stood in front of them. In order to avoid being blocked, Shen Yichi even squatted down.
Snap——
With the sound of a camera being taken, the faces of the three people were instantly frozen on the phone.
"Let me see." Lu Jianing suddenly asked.
Shen Yichi, who didn’t have time to take back his phone, handed it to Lu Jianing.
She just looked at it for a moment, then seemed very satisfied with the photo. She smiled for no reason and handed the phone back.
"Keep this photo safe, it will be useful at a critical moment," Lu Jianing said, tightening his grip on He Qifeng's arm, "Let's go."
Before Shen Yichi could come back to his senses, Lu Jianing and He Qifeng walked away.
Shen Yichi was left standing there blankly looking at the photo.
In the photo, Lu Jianing had an indifferent expression. Although his hand was intimately holding He Qifeng's arm, his eyes were fixed on him somewhat sadly.
There is regret and some reluctance, which seems to be mixed with a lot of regrets of the painful aesthetics of youth.
Anyone who takes a look at it will imagine a bloody love triangle between him and Lu Jianing.
But just now, he clearly did not feel that Lu Jianing had any love for him, and even felt a bit distant.
So why did she make such a suggestive expression?
And... He Qifeng clearly saw it, so why didn't he react at all?
Is it tacit consent? Or is it too generous? Or was it he who asked Lu Jianing to make this expression?
And...why did Lu Jianing say just now that it would be useful at the critical moment?
What did He Qifeng tell her?
Shen Yichi couldn't get an answer, but there was a voice in his heart shouting.
He felt he should trust them.
Shen Yichi trotted: “Lu Jianing!”
"What's the matter?" Lu Jianing paused.
Shen Yichi was breathing heavily, but his eyes fell on He Qifeng: "Captain He, I need your help with something."
