Lu Qing was taken aback, puzzled:
"You know me?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You helped Li Hui and Meng Chun catch such a big fish. Almost everyone who knows them knows you now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing could only chuckle awkwardly and scratch his head: "Really! I'm that famous now!"
"Hello, students. I am Yan Ruijin from the Ministry of State Security."
Upon hearing the words "Ministry of State Security," Leng Wei was greatly surprised:
"Dad, what exactly do you do? Why are we being watched by spies? And why did it even involve the Ministry of State Security?"
Leng Zishan looked at his daughter and sighed:
"I'm sorry, Weiwei. Dad didn't mean to keep it from you. It's just that due to the nature of my work, I can't tell you too much."
“Your father is an academician at the National Academy of Biological Sciences, in charge of researching a bioengineering technology. He has already achieved preliminary results. The spies are probably targeting you to steal these research findings,” Yan Ruijin said.
Leng Wei covered her mouth in surprise, and it took her a long time to react:
"So he approached me to threaten Dad into handing over his research findings?"
Leng Zishan shook his head: "No! In Kyoto, they wouldn't be that bold, nor would they have the ability to threaten me. I think he probably wants to steal your iris data."
"What use is my iris to them?" Leng Wei asked, puzzled.
Leng Zishan: "We have a safe at home, and the way to unlock it is by scanning your iris."
"Isn't the safe filled with our family savings and my childhood belongings?" Leng Wei asked doubtfully.
Leng Zishan smiled and said, "That's right, but those spies don't know that!"
“They thought I would keep my research results in a safe, so they approached you, stole your iris data, and tried to open that safe.”
Hearing this, Leng Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"If I had known this would happen, I would have let him get away with it. If they had opened the safe and found a bunch of toys inside, they would probably have been furious."
"You're right, we really are planning to pretend we know nothing and lure the snake out," Yan Ruijin said with a smile.
A hint of worry flashed in Leng Zishan's eyes:
"Officer Yan, isn't there a better way? My daughter is still just a student. Isn't it too dangerous for her to get close to spies?"
"I was worried about this problem before, but after seeing this student Lu Qing, I am no longer worried."
Yan Ruijin smiled as he looked at Lu Qing:
"Lu Qing, since you can help Director Li and Director Meng, could you also help us?"
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled:
“Weiwei is my friend. Even if you don’t say anything, I will protect her.”
Leng Zishan looked at Lu Qing, who had thin arms and legs, with some suspicion:
"Officer Yan, are you sure? This student can really protect my daughter?"
"Dr. Leng, don't worry, a bunch of mercenaries are no match for her, let alone a few spies," Yan Ruijin said with a smile.
Leng Wei nodded in agreement, "Dad, don't worry, Qingqing is really amazing."
Now that things have come to this, there is no better way, and Leng Zishan has no choice but to agree.
“These spies have a dedicated transport route to send the stolen secrets abroad. We’ve tried to take them down several times but haven’t been able to completely dismantle it. This time, we must capture this route and all the people on it!” Yan Ruijin said coldly.
After discussing the specifics, Lu Qing and Leng Wei got out of the car and left.
It was time for the students to return to their dormitories, and Leng Zishan, worried about being seen by spies, did not see them off.
Lu Qing and Leng Wei had only taken a few steps when they saw Kou Chengxuan.
Lu Qing immediately took Leng Wei's arm and walked away with a limp.
Kou Chengxuan walked over quickly:
"Leng Wei, Lu Qing, what are you doing here?"
Leng Wei's eyes darted around, and she quickly said:
"Qingqing twisted her ankle, so I took her to the school clinic to have it checked."
"But the school clinic is clearly on the east side, so why did you go to the west side?" Kou Chengxuan's eyes flashed with suspicion.
Lu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately complained:
"It's all because of Leng Wei. She has no sense of direction at all. I told her the school clinic was on the east side, but she insisted it was on the west side, so she went the wrong way!"
Leng Wei realized what was happening and looked apologetic.
"Qingqing, I'm so sorry!"
Kou Chengxuan seemed to have been fooled, and glanced at Lu Qing's feet before asking:
"Is your foot alright? Should I take you to the school clinic?"
Lu Qing waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, no need, it's not that serious. It's just that Weiwei was worried about me, so she insisted on dragging me out."
"You're walking with a limp, you should go see a doctor. If you hurt a bone, you could become a cripple if you don't get treatment in time."
Judging from Kou Chengxuan's expression, he probably doubted the authenticity of her foot injury.
So Lu Qing nodded and said:
"Alright then! Could you please show us the way, senior? We don't know where the school clinic is."
Kou Chengxuan nodded slightly, and was about to touch Lu Qing, but Lu Qing dodged him:
"No need! Senior, Leng Wei can support me."
“It’s okay, I’m a man, I can support her more steadily than a girl.”
Lu Qing then dodged Kou Chengxuan's second attempt to make contact:
"Really, it's not necessary! Senior, I have a fiancé, and he's very petty. If he finds out he's helping me, he'll definitely cause you trouble."
Leng Wei nodded repeatedly:
"That's right, that's right! Qingqing's fiancé is Gu Xicheng, the eldest young master of the Gu family. Many people at school know them. Senior, you should stay away from Qingqing."
Seeing this, Kou Chengxuan had no choice but to withdraw his hand.
"Alright then! Your fiancé... is really jealous!"
"That's right! He's extremely jealous, and he can be really fierce when he's jealous!"
As Lu Qing spoke, Gu Xicheng sneezed uncontrollably.
"It's so late, Qingqing must be thinking of me!"
Gu Xicheng's face lit up with a smile (*＾-＾*)
After arriving at the school clinic, Lu Qing quietly pressed on her ankle, and it quickly swelled up.
After examining the patient, the doctor said:
"It's nothing serious, just a sprain. Take a bottle of safflower oil home and rub it in yourself; the bruise will go away once it's gone."
"Are you sure everything's alright? I'm not going to be crippled, am I?" Lu Qing asked, feigning nervousness.
"Don't worry! You won't be lame. It's just a minor injury; it'll be fine in a few days."
Seeing is believing, and the doubt in Kou Chengxuan's eyes finally disappeared.
"Since you're alright, I'll take you back to your dorm!"
Lu Qing and Leng Wei did not refuse.
After arriving at the dormitory building, Kou Chengxuan looked at Leng Wei tenderly:
"We didn't get to play pool tonight. Are you free tomorrow night?"
Knowing he was a spy, Leng Wei felt nauseous looking at him, but to complete her mission, she still pretended to be shy and nodded.
"You're free! Let's play pool tomorrow night!"
"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up after class tomorrow."
“Okay!” Leng Wei replied with her head down.
Kou Chengxuan turned and left. Once she was sure he was far away, Leng Wei immediately made a gagging motion.
"You bastard, you're disgusting!"
Leng Wei doesn't usually swear, but when faced with everyday life, she can't help but swear.
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "Just bear with it a little longer, he won't be able to cause trouble for long."
