Chapter 53 Morning
"Beep beep!"
The sound of a horn blared behind him.
Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise, thinking he had blocked someone's way, but there was no motorcycle behind him.
"Beep beep!"
Lu Yanhe then realized that it was a car parked on the side of the road that had made the impact.
A white BMW.
He glanced at the car with a puzzled look in his eyes, and suddenly realized that the person in the driver's seat looked familiar and was waving at him.
It was Officer Qiu Ling!
Lu Yanhe stood by the roadside in surprise.
Qiu Ling drove up to him, stopped, rolled down the window, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Going to school."
Where do you go to school?
"No. 13 Middle School".
“It’s on my way, get in the car, I’ll give you a ride,” Qiu Ling said.
Lu Yanhe got into the car.
The hearse was a mess, filled with many things.
There was an unopened package right at Lu Yanhe's feet.
"Officer Qiu, why are you leaving so early?"
It's only 6:30 in the morning. People usually don't leave for work this early, let alone Qiu Ling, who drives herself to work.
Qiu Ling said, "I've been very busy these past two days, and I haven't been home for two days either. I just stopped by to pick up a change of clothes."
"You didn't stay up all night yesterday, did you?" Lu Yanhe looked at Qiu Ling in shock.
Upon closer inspection, Qiu Ling's dark circles were indeed quite noticeable.
Qiu Ling: "Don't worry, I'm wide awake. I just dozed off for half an hour."
"Are you... busy with He Ting's matter? Was the body that was discovered really He Ting?" Lu Yanhe asked immediately.
Qiu Ling: "I can't tell you about the details of the case, but I can tell you that the USB drive you gave me is very important. Without it, we wouldn't have known that there was such a dark place in Yuming. When this case is finally closed, our public security department will award you a banner and a medal to express our gratitude."
Lu Yanhe was extremely surprised.
This is the second time Qiu Ling has said she wants to award him this banner and medal.
Is that USB drive that important?
"Actually, I didn't do anything. That USB drive must have been slipped into my pocket by He Ting when I wasn't looking. She wanted me to give it to you."
“That’s right.” Qiu Ling nodded. “She couldn’t give it to me directly because there were people watching her. Knowing that you and I know each other, she used you to pass it on to me. But if you hadn’t given it to me, her efforts would have been in vain.”
Listening to Qiu Ling's tone, Lu Yanhe thought to himself, "It seems this matter is quite serious."
"Then keep up the good work and try to close the case as soon as possible."
Qiu Ling glanced at him and asked, "There shouldn't be anything unusual around you these past two days, right?"
"No." Lu Yanhe immediately shook his head.
Qiu Ling: "Although the possibility is not high, be careful. If anything seems strange around you, contact me immediately."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, then asked, "Is there any danger?"
“No, under normal circumstances, no. This has nothing to do with you. But... there’s always a chance of something going wrong,” Qiu Ling said.
"I understand. I will definitely be more vigilant and protect myself," Lu Yanhe said in a very childish tone.
Qiu Ling immediately smiled.
"Are you going to school alone?" she asked.
Lu Yanhe said, "Yes."
"What about the other two?" Qiu Ling asked again. "Li Zhibai is a college student now, but isn't Yan Liang also a classmate of your No. 13 Middle School?"
Lu Yanhe said, "He still has work this month, and then he will go back to school to prepare for the exam."
"Then why don't you work?" Qiu Ling had barely asked the question when she realized what she had said and couldn't help but criticize herself inwardly. She really hadn't slept in too long, and her energy was low, so she wasn't thinking before she spoke.
The young and handsome idol in front of me is obviously washed up, out of work, and has only just returned to school to study seriously.
She already knew these basic details when we had barbecue last time.
Lu Yanhe chuckled, seemingly unaffected, and said, "I'm going to study hard and try to get into Zhenhua or Yuming, taking a roundabout route to achieve my goal."
Qiu Ling: "Huh? That's ambitious."
"Of course." Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "When I pass the exam, I'll throw a celebratory banquet and invite Officer Qiu to dinner."
"Then I will definitely come and give you a big red envelope."
"No need for red envelopes."
"Who goes to a graduation celebration without bringing a red envelope?" Qiu Ling laughed.
When they arrived at the entrance of No. 13 Middle School, Qiu Ling parked the car on the side of the road and let Lu Yanhe out.
"Study hard and try to get into Zhenhua or Yuming!" Qiu Ling said.
Lu Yanhe gave her an OK sign, opened his umbrella, got out of the car, closed the car door, and waved to Qiu Ling from the roadside.
Qiu Ling drove away.
Lu Yanhe also walked towards the school.
"Lu Yanhe, you really are inhumane, coming to school so early again!" Li Pengfei's voice came from the side.
Lu Yanhe looked at Li Pengfei in surprise, "Why are you here so early?"
Li Pengfei glared at him resentfully and said, "I was blinded by greed. I told my dad I was going to study hard, and he immediately said that as my father, he also had to do his part and insisted on personally taking me to school."
"Then what?"
"Then he had to catch an 8 o'clock flight to the airport, so he dragged me out of bed at 6 o'clock in the morning, damn it." Li Pengfei said, yawning. "I've never gotten up this early even if I studied hard."
"Did you ever hang yourself by your hair or prick your thigh with an awl?" Lu Yanhe immediately asked, trying to find fault.
"Is that what I meant?" Li Pengfei exploded. "I'm asking how you manage to study so diligently, just like you've been doing it for ten years straight?"
As Lu Yanhe walked into the school with Li Pengfei, he said, "That's just how studying is."
"What happened?"
"The more you work hard, the more you gain," Lu Yanhe said. "Compared to other things, I think going to school is quite easy. It's not mentally exhausting. The more you work hard, the higher your grades will be. Unlike being an artist, no matter how hard you work, you may not necessarily reap the rewards."
Lu Yanhe's original form is a typical example.
No matter how hard you try, no one will see it.
Li Pengfei clicked his tongue twice and said, "Look at the way you talk. The dean of students should call you up to give a speech under the national flag."
Lu Yanhe smiled but didn't say anything.
"No wonder my dad said I should learn more from you?"
"ah?"
“You don’t know, after my dad went back, he raved about you. He told me I had to be friends with you, and that you’re definitely going to amount to something.” Li Pengfei chuckled as he spoke, “When has he ever praised me like that?”
"Your dad is exaggerating a bit."
"Haha, I don't think he's exaggerating. Lu Yanhe, let me tell you, I used to find you annoying just by looking at you. Just because you're a celebrity, you wouldn't show up for days on end, and when you did, you wouldn't pay any attention to us. You'd just stay by yourself, like you weren't in our world. I don't know what happened to you, you suddenly became a different person. You're much better now."
I recommend another of my novels.
