"Why didn't he come?" Fang Heng was about to leave, but he still wanted to see his good brother.
“He has something to do today. Lu Zhengqian has been giving him a lot of things to do lately.” Gan Tang said softly, holding her drink. “Don’t worry, we will definitely resolve things as soon as possible and get you back.”
"I was wondering why Lu was so quiet today," Fang Heng said with a carefree smile. "As long as you can get things done, it doesn't matter where you are. It's just that your reputation isn't very good."
Prostitution.
Gan Tang smiled and cupped his hands in a compliment: "That's because Captain Fang is honest, upright, and incorruptible."
"Yes!" Fang Heng nodded. "I like to hear that."
Gan Tang continued to flatter her: "The key is that you have a good father."
“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t investigate someone’s ancestors for three generations like that.” Fang Heng complained: “Besides, I didn’t follow his path.”
"Of course." Gan Tang really admired him for this. "Who would rely on their family to risk their life every day? It's not like there aren't easy and respectable jobs available."
“That’s nothing,” Fang Heng sighed, “It’s just that I can’t help him anymore, and I’m a little worried.”
"What's there to worry about? Once you finish one case, do you think there won't be another one?" As long as you're in this line of work, danger will always be there.
"That's right! Sister Lu's insights are always spot on."
After finishing his meal, Fang Heng remembered the favor she had once asked him to do. "By the way, Lin Shuang's scandalous rumors back then were all orchestrated by He Zhong, a director of the Lu Group."
"It really is him." Gan Tang said emotionally, "Is there any proof?"
"Yes!" Fang Heng took out a USB drive and handed it to Gan Tang. "Take a look for yourself."
Gan Tang asked in surprise, "You have evidence with you, why aren't you coming to find me?"
"I was originally looking for you, but then I worried it wouldn't be appropriate, so I decided to leave it at the storage facility for you to pick up yourself. I didn't expect you to show up."
"Brother Fang!" Although this is his profession, it's truly commendable that he's putting in so much effort. Gan Tang, holding the USB drive, asked the question that had been bothering her: "Mo Huaixing told me that he never told you about my identity, so why do you trust me so much?"
After all, in his eyes, she really was Lu Zhengqian's biological daughter.
“Yes, even the teacher told me to be careful of you. But…” Fang Heng looked at Gan Tang and explained, “Guyun Town is under the jurisdiction of the Nanjiang Detachment. He once asked me to take care of your adoptive parents.”
So that's how it is.
She knew he was kind to her only because of his duty, but hearing that he was kind to her still made her overthink.
How much self-control does it take for a person to stop fantasizing that the person they love will love them back? She couldn't do it, she really couldn't. That feeling was like parched soil sprouting thorns.
Gan Tang bit down on the thin tube, trying to control her trembling muscles.
Fang Heng sighed, breaking the silence: "Whether they are adoptive parents or not, I still have a professional sense of it."
"Look at you, so capable." Gan Tang forced a smile and teased, "You're not going to say that you gave me the amulet because you knew the future, are you?"
“Then I’ll become a god! But that’s not a talisman, it’s a love charm that looks like a talisman.” Recalling the past, Fang Heng smiled and said, “Before he ‘sacrificed’ himself, I accompanied someone to a temple and got him a pair of love charms. They’re just getting in my way, so I’m giving them to you.”
Gan Tang suddenly looked up: "Didn't he get married?"
Fang Heng was drinking water when he suddenly spat it out, his face turning bright red. "He told you that?"
Gan Tang nodded, "Didn't they even have a child already?"
"If he says so, then so be it!" Fang Heng took another sip of water to calm his nerves.
What kind of talk is this? A thought that stirred up a storm in her heart surged forth, and Gan Tang stared at Fang Heng and asked, "Isn't Qianqian his wife?"
"You, Sheng Ziyi, how dare you ruin my junior sister's reputation like this!" Fang Heng jumped up.
"Don't yell!" Gan Tang said, raising her hand to press down in fright. "He didn't say it was Qianqian; I was just guessing."
“Sister Lu, my junior sister was only eighteen four years ago. She wasn’t even old enough to get married, and she was already pregnant. If he dared to do that, my teacher would have broken his legs.” Fang Heng sat down, still shaken. “You usually seem pretty smart, how come you’re not quite right in the head?”
"That's true." At that moment, Gan Tang felt as if the sky had brightened, no, as if she had ascended to heaven.
"Of course it's not your fault." Fang Heng started to defend Gan Tang again. "He rejected you, so why did he lie? That's despicable."
"How do you know he rejected me?" Gan Tang retorted, feeling indignant. Thinking back to that night, she covered her cheeks in embarrassment. But she couldn't be blamed for guessing. She nervously asked again, "If you're not married, you're still boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
Fang Heng shook his head.
Thinking of Qianqian's phone screen saver, Gantang didn't believe it: "Does Mo Huaixing have an identical heart-shaped copper coin that Qianqian is wearing?"
"The copper coin in Qianqian's hand was given to her by me," Fang Heng explained. "When he 'sacrificed' himself, Qianqian was very sad, so I made a fake one and gave it to her as his keepsake."
So that's how it is. Gan Tang asked again, "Since Qianqian likes him, does he like Qianqian?"
Fang Heng was displeased. "My junior sister was only thirteen when she met him. What does she know about liking someone? She's just grateful that he saved her. As for Sheng Ziyi..."
Fang Heng looked directly at Gan Tang: "He and I are brothers who share a bed. I know very well who he likes."
Is it myself?
Thinking that he had given her the marriage charm, Gan Tang could no longer stay and got up to leave.
"Little Lu, it's not time to drive yet, can you chat with me a little longer?" Before the words were even finished, she had already disappeared.
