Lu Anning smiled lightly and pulled him to sit down, explaining, "It's just a small matter, I can handle it myself. Weren't you on a business trip? Why are you back so soon?"
"After seeing the news, I rushed back overnight."
Tang Jingyuan was worried that she couldn't handle it, so he asked Xiang Yang and Lin Tao to stay and deal with the company's affairs, and he came back first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed, he found that the problem had been almost solved. He suddenly felt like a hero without a place to use his skills.
"Lu Yunxi, why would she commit suicide? And she insisted on seeing you!"
Tang Jingyuan thought that the relationship between them was not that good. When he thought about it carefully, he felt that this matter was strange.
"But I saw her jump with my own eyes. The waves were so huge that they looked like they were going to eat people. There was no trace of her. Even if she was planning something, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk! It was a life-or-death situation."
Lu Anning also told Tang Jingyuan everything that happened at that time, not daring to miss any details.
When mentioning the appearance of Lu Zhenghao and his wife, Tang Jingyuan questioned: "At that time, they were so busy entangled with you that they didn't even think about saving people? Didn't they even think about rescuing them?"
Lu Anning paused, then shook his head.
"I was so entangled that I didn't pay attention to what was happening in the water. When I looked back, there were only waves."
The vision was already poor at that time, and Lu Anning was also shocked by Lu Yunxi's behavior. He didn't have time to think too much. Then the police came. Lu Anning cooperated with the record and was busy all night.
Tang Jingyuan's eyes flashed with heartache: "You stayed in the police station all night? Why didn't you contact me?"
"You're on a business trip, and distant water can't quench immediate thirst. I'm just cooperating with the record-keeping. It's nothing serious."
Lu Anning said it lightly, but Tang Jingyuan still saw the dark circles under her eyes. She must have not slept well these days because of Lu Yunxi's matter.
"It's okay, leave the rest to me."
"Forget it! Their company went bankrupt, and now they've lost their daughter. There's no need to kill them all."
Just consider it as the final reward she gave them during her twenty years in the Lu family!
However, she still dreamed of Lu Yunxi's desperate look at night. When she woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside.
The evidence was released, and public opinion gradually subsided, but Lu Anning's heart was not completely at peace. She dragged Tang Jingyuan to the place where Lu Yunxi jumped into the sea. Closing her eyes, the scene was still vivid in her mind. She stood in Lu Yunxi's place, closed her eyes and slowly felt it, and the only response she got was the sound of waves.
Tang Jingyuan supported her carefully, and they looked at the surrounding environment together. It was five meters high. At midnight, the impact of the waves was far beyond people's imagination. Lu Yunxi was thin and fell down without any ability to resist.
Until now, the police have not been able to find Lu Yunxi's body. Everyone speculates that it might have been washed away by the waves. In this case, there is little point in salvaging it and it is basically impossible to find it.
"No body found!"
Lu Anning sighed deeply. There was no trace left, and she didn't want to dwell on it any longer. Fortunately, she had already obtained the agarwood token. Unfortunately, the person who had sent her to the orphanage had perished in the fire. If she wanted to know more, she could only rely on the token to find out.
However, the world is so vast, and relying on just a wooden sign to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Lu Anning didn't get too obsessed with it. After returning home, he carefully put the agarwood sign away. Perhaps, one day, it would be useful again.
Lu Zhenghao wanted to overturn the evidence presented by Lu Anning, but the police issued an appraisal report first, which just shut Lu Zhenghao up.
No matter how bold Lu Zhenghao was, he did not dare to question the judicial system one after another, and he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
The headlines shifted, and Lu Yunxi's news was quickly replaced by other matters, making it even harder for Lu Zhenghao to stir up trouble again. Lu Anning went to work every day as usual, following up on the original project, as if nothing had changed.
Lu Anning suddenly received a call from the old man and immediately straightened up: "What can I do for you?"
The last time she met the old man alone, she fell into the trap. Lu Anning still remembered it. When she heard the voice again, she subconsciously became alert.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking you to come back for dinner tonight."
Lu Anning was a little surprised. Didn’t he talk to Tang Jingyuan directly about this kind of thing?
Why did you find her this time?
Lu Anning agreed and hung up the phone, then saw Xiang Yang coming in with a cold face. Anning wondered, this morning, Tang Jingyuan said that he would go to meet clients with Xiang Yang, why did he come back so soon?
Not going well?
She tried to send a message to Tang Jingyuan, telling him to come back to the old house for dinner in the evening. Tang Jingyuan replied immediately: Did the old man call you?
"you do not know?"
Tang Jingyuan's voice on the phone was bone-chillingly cold: "You snatched him from me. No wonder you don't dare to call me. You're just trying to show off!"
Lu Anning probably guessed something: "So, are you still going to dinner?"
"Go! It's still uncertain who will win."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jingyuan leaned back in his chair and surveyed the world below him. Pei Yongsheng had actually managed to get in touch with the Smiths before him, even knowing their preferences so accurately. This was unlike Pei Yongsheng's usual style. He wanted to see who was hiding behind Pei Yongsheng.
It was just after dark when Tang Jingyuan and Lu Anning arrived at the old house. The entire manor was brightly lit. Lu Anning walked in with Tang Jingyuan on her arm. Before they even entered the house, they heard laughter coming from the living room. The atmosphere was much better than before.
Lu An Ning was curious about when the Pei family had someone who could liven up the atmosphere. When he walked in, he saw a familiar face.
In the living room, a group of people sat together. Shan Ying sat politely next to Pei Chengyi. She said something that made everyone laugh. Chen Yizi looked very proud, as if she was showing off some treasure.
"The third brother and his wife are here! Perfect, let me introduce them. Shan Ying, I've met her before. She's Cheng Yi's girlfriend now, and they're getting married soon."
Lu Anning was shocked. This time, they hadn't even planned an engagement. It seemed like their relationship had never been severed, and Lu Yunxi was probably still in the dark.
