The man got up from the ground and knelt on the ground with difficulty. "I...I...Chief, I was wrong. I was bewildered for a moment."
He Kun sealed his mouth and had his wife taken away.
This man's wife was even more timid. She blurted out everything after being slightly frightened.
It turned out that the body was indeed killed by a man. He relied on his position as the mayor's secretary to do whatever he wanted, idle away the whole day, and was in cahoots with the mayor.
When the police compiled all the things the man had done into a file and displayed it, Meng Lu felt so much like he wanted to strangle him to death on the spot.
This man is simply a devil living on Rose Star and is not worthy of being an orc at all.
Finally, He Kun ordered that the two be killed, but they should not die too easily. He then asked someone to call the mayor and ask him to come over, but the call was not connected at all.
Meng Lu really wanted to know how good the mayor's office was, so he persuaded He Kun to take her with him.
As long as she asked, there was no reason for He Kun to refuse. A group of people went to the mayor's office building in a mighty manner.
I saw that the lights in the dozens-story building were on, but the mayor was not in the office.
He Kun was furious. The mayor should care about the people of City D, especially the order he issued a week ago. The mayor's phone must be accessible 24 hours a day to serve the people. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like supporting a bunch of gluttons by collecting so much money every month?
Okay, very good. He Kun will directly revoke the mayor's position, select a new mayor on the spot, and there is no need to notify the old mayor.
"Meng Lu, among them, they are all on the shortlist. Who do you want to be the mayor?"
The director standing by was shocked. He didn't expect that the leader would let this female make the decision. It seemed that her status was very high.
Meng Lu chose a man who looked friendly and was the youngest among them.
The two stood in the mayor's office, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic below.
"If you're not having fun here, how about I develop a resort in the capital?"
Meng Lu shook his head and said, "No, I just want to see all the beautiful scenery on Rose Star."
There was silence in the air for a minute. He Kun used to think that he would never fall in love with a female in his life, so he acted willfully and looked down on everyone. Now that he has someone he likes, he has become more and more cautious in front of her, fearing that something would make her unhappy and the two of them would drift further and further apart. He also tried his best to make her happy, but he had too many things on his mind recently and had no time to take care of her. He could only give her the best he thought.
"This place is rich in pearls. I'll have someone buy you the best ones later."
"Actually, that's not necessary. I've already bought it. I also bought gifts for the three kids. Oh, and don't forget to bring the gifts back to them when you leave later."
"Huh?" He Kun's eyes widened. When did he say he wanted to go back? Now that she said so, if he stayed here forcibly, she might get angry.
"Okay, if you have any trouble, call me immediately and I'll come over and support you personally."
"good."
After seeing He Kun off, Meng Lu received a call from the hotel saying that someone had delivered a large box of gifts and she needed to come and sign for it in person.
She was a little curious. Who would send her a gift?
Anyway, things here had been dealt with, so she quickly returned to the hotel with doubts. As soon as she entered, she met Dia at the front desk.
He looked guilty, "I'm sorry I couldn't share this with you."
"It's not your fault. You're still a child and you don't have the ability to bear such a thing. Besides, there's nothing wrong with me."
"Are we still friends then?"
"Well, yes, we have always been friends." Then she asked where her package was, and Dia helped her carry the big box up.
Meng Lu was still wary. After all, he didn't know who sent it. What if it contained a bomb or something bad? It would be terrible if he rashly brought it back to the room.
Later, accompanied by Diya, Meng Qi used a knife to cut the seal. The box inside was very delicate. She opened it carefully and found that it was filled with sparkling pearls.
Each pearl is very large and of the best quality.
At this time, the phone rang. It was a message from He Kun.
"This is a gift for you. I don't know if you like it."
Meng Lu replied that he liked it and didn't care about the news anymore. The most important thing at the moment was to move Zhenzhu back to the room as soon as possible. There were already people around watching.
The lights on the ceiling of Pearl's hotel were shining brightly, which made it hard not to attract other people's attention.
"Wow~ She's so rich! This one is worth millions, and she actually has a box of them. I'm so jealous."
"Oh my gosh, this is my first time meeting a rich woman. Ahhhh~ Rich lady, look at me. If you ever want to find a partner, please don't be too particular about gender. I think we'll have more topics to talk about."
“….”
Listening to the discussions and envy around him, Meng Lu smiled awkwardly and said that this was just a prop and was not real at all.
The people around dispersed with sighs. They all thought they saw the real thing, but it turned out to be a replica. What a pity.
After everyone had left, Dia said with disbelief on her face, "You're lying to them, aren't you? I live close to them, and I've lived here since I was a child, so I know a thing or two about pearls. It's obvious it's real."
"Hush, keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to know that I'm rich so that thieves can steal my pearls?"
Meng Lu's reminder made Diya completely understand, "Sorry, I didn't know this was a counterfeit. Meng Lu, can you tell me where you counterfeited it? If I need to take photos in the future, I can also customize it." He raised his voice a little when he said the last two sentences.
"Okay! I'll send the address to your phone later." Meng Lu agreed readily. Just as he was about to go upstairs with a box of pearls, he was beaten to the punch by him.
"I'll help you take it up." Without waiting for Meng Lu to agree or refuse, Diya walked over first.
Meng Lu couldn't persuade him and could only follow him.
Dia took out the room card and opened the room. He put the box at the door of the room and did not step in. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Until the two of them said goodbye to each other, he didn't say anything. Meng Lu was not a patient person and couldn't wait that long, so he simply asked the doubts in his heart, what exactly did he want to say.
Diya hesitated for a moment and stammered to invite her to another delicious restaurant tomorrow.
"So that's it. I thought you were going to talk about something else. Okay, we'll make a deal tomorrow." She was about to close the door but was stopped by a pair of big hands.
"Meng Lu, I still want to apologize to you. In the face of our friendship, I betrayed you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you don't need to apologize. I said, we are all friends. You have your difficulties and I understand you. There is no need to feel guilty about such a small thing." Meng Lu persuaded him patiently.
"Really? I have something else to tell you."
"Okay, I'm listening."
"I...I might be falling in love with you."
