Chapter 69 Chapter 69 If you beg me, I will take you there.
"You...you didn't lose your memory..." Ana Shen stood up and stared at Lu Hean hatefully.
I don’t know where he got the courage from, maybe he was just angry at Ke Bai.
He transformed the grievance he suffered at Ke Bai's hands into sharp hostility.
Ana Shen sat back down and placed the terminal on the table. He forced a fake smile on his face: "Colonel Lu, so free? You didn't reply to your Cairns as soon as you recovered your memory. What are you doing here? Are you following Pei Shuyu?"
Lu Hean seemed not to hear the sting in his words. He leaned back in a relaxed manner, tapping the table lazily with his fingers, making a light tapping sound that seemed to be tapping on Shen Yan's tense nerves.
"That's not it," he said, the curve of his lips unchanged, "I came here specifically to see you."
By the way, I just checked on Pei Shuyu, it doesn’t count as stalking.
He leaned forward slightly, his smiling eyes suddenly pressing closer, devoid of any warmth. His voice deepened, carrying an unmistakable threat: "Need I repeat myself? Stay a little away from Pei Shuyu."
The last few words, one by one, hit Shen Yan's eardrum.
The fake smile on Shen Yan's face finally disappeared: "Lu He'an, aren't you afraid that I will tell him that you have recovered your memory?"
"I have no problem, but your father might not agree." Lu Hean's voice remained steady, even with a hint of boredom and laziness. He opened the terminal and showed him the conversation between him and Shen's father. "Your father is much more sensible than you."
The blood drained completely from Shen Yan's face. He stared intently at the few almost flattering responses from his father on Lu Hean's terminal screen. Every word pierced his eyes like a needle.
His father is indeed much more aware of the times than he is.
The urge to fight to the death quickly deflated like a punctured balloon.
Instead, there is a deep sense of powerlessness.
Lu Hean looked at Ana Shen's suddenly contracted pupils and slightly trembling lips, chuckled, and added: "You just want to get rid of your family, so you found Pei Shuyu. If you want to get rid of the marriage, it's very simple. As long as you promise me not to appear in front of Pei Shuyu again, I can help you."
After hearing this, Ana Shen reacted a little.
Lu Hean did not urge him, but watched him calmly as he was fighting a fierce battle in his heart, his fingers still tapping on the table from time to time. He wanted to see what choice Shen Yan would make.
After a while, Shen Yan's tense shoulders finally collapsed. Although he still kept his back straight, something seemed to have broken. He avoided Lu Hean's gaze, his voice dry and with a subtle tremor: "...Are you serious?"
"It's just a deal." Lu Hean put the terminal away, his tone calm but firm, "You get the freedom you want, and I get the person I want. It's fair."
Ana Shen was silent for a while longer, his fingertips digging deep into his palms, leaving several clear crescent-shaped marks. He seemed to be making an extremely difficult decision. Finally, he took a very light breath, as if accepting his fate, and compromised: "...Okay."
As expected, Lu Hean showed a faint smile on his face. Having achieved his goal, he did not stay for another second.
He stood up swiftly, and the chair made a slight scraping sound as it moved backwards.
Lu Hean left.
The clerk came to clean up.
Ana Shen suddenly raised his head, as if he had finally regained some strength, and sneered with a strong sense of self-mockery and a little unwillingness, and added: "That's fine."
He paused, his voice slightly raised, and murmured to himself: "But it's a pity—"
"I really like him."
…
As soon as Pei Shuyu returned to Saifan, Xiao Qingyang synchronized the information over.
Because no evidence was found for a long time, Cairns released the people. A few days ago, those people tried to contact the higher-ups, but then they began to disappear mysteriously.
Not long after, one of them stumbled back to Cairns' door, shouting for help, saying someone was trying to kill him.
Xiao Ji brought the person back in.
This time those people were no longer difficult to pry open clams, and they answered whatever questions were asked.
When this person revealed everything he knew, he asked fearfully, "Does this count as turning myself in? Can I get a reduced sentence?"
Xiao Ji ignored him and quickly wrote down his confession. After finishing, she smiled at him and pressed the switch. The curtain fell, and the dim room suddenly became bright.
There are many such houses here, and all his brothers who disappeared inexplicably are in them.
The next second, he saw the man who had been chasing him walk in in a Keynes uniform and greeted him as he walked up to him.
…
Xiao Ji sent this information to Lu Hean and Xiao Qingyang at the same time.
When he received the news from Xiao Qingyang, he reported it to Lu Hean immediately.
After all, Lu Hean has recovered his memory now, so he doesn't have to make the decision himself. It's great. The moment Xiao Ji learned that Lu Hean had recovered his memory, he appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was already crying bitterly in his heart.
Colonel, do you know how I have been living during the time you lost your memory?
But everything is fine now.
Lu Hean replied: Yes.
Xiao Ji confidently sent all the information away. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he could leave work early today. His work was done.
Then he received a message from his colonel: keep half of the information.
Xiao Ji:?
Forget it, he just followed the colonel's orders. He immediately withdrew the message and only sent half of it.
Pei Shuyu stared at the data received on the terminal screen, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Only half? He read it over and over again. It wasn't his problem.
The cause is there, but what about the result?
This feeling is similar to the feeling when a person says who the murderer is before dying, and then keeps saying yes, yes, yes... and then takes his last breath.
He immediately contacted Xiao Qingyang: "Is the information you sent incomplete? Where is the second half?"
Xiao Qingyang replied quickly, a little bewildered: "No! I forwarded it as it is. This is what Xiao Ji sent me."
Pei Shuyu was silent for a moment, tapped his fingertips on the terminal, and contacted Xiao Ji directly.
Xiao Ji understood why only half of it was sent.
He quickly replied: "Captain Pei, you have received all the information within the shared permissions. The remaining information is of a higher level of confidentiality and requires direct authorization from Colonel Lu."
Pei Shuyu looked at the message on the screen, half believing and half doubting.
After going around in circles for a long time, I finally had to go find Lu Hean in person.
I have to do it for the clues.
He took a deep breath and contacted Lu Hean again. The call went through quickly, as if the man had been waiting.
"Send me the second half of the information." Pei Shuyu went straight to the point, his voice suppressing his emotions.
A low laugh came from the other end of the terminal, with a hint of lazy comfort: "I thought you took the initiative to look for me because you missed me."
"The outcome of this matter is very important to me." Pei Shuyu repeated patiently.
Lu Hean stopped beating around the bush, but the conditions he offered remained unchanged: "I can tell you. But you have to promise me that you will go on a cruise with me in a few days. I'll cover all the expenses, and you just need to show up."
"Lu Hean," Pei Shuyu's voice turned completely cold, "I really don't have time to play with you."
"Okay." Lu Hean's tone didn't contain much regret, but rather a calmness that was expected, even with a hint of subtlety. "Then just don't regret it."
The call ended abruptly.
A few seconds later, the terminal vibrated and a new encrypted file was transmitted.
Pei Shuyu clicked it immediately and quickly browsed the key content in the second half.
The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed. Sure enough, the final clue clearly pointed to the Qiao family. He had found it strange that Guan Zicen had been arrested before. If the Qiao family had really done nothing wrong, why would they arrest Guan Zicen, a student?
And Guan Zicen would not go to a place where there is nothing to shoot for no reason.
But at that time he lacked a solid chain of evidence, so everything could only remain speculation.
Now, I have some direction.
He immediately contacted Fu Zhouxing and briefly instructed him, "Help me check the recent detailed movements of the core members of the Qiao family, especially Qiao Songyan."
Fu Zhouxing was extremely efficient. A moment later, a message arrived: "Qiao Songyan's itinerary for the next few days is all at sea. He's boarding the 'Day and Night' cruise ship, which is a five-day, four-night trip."
Pei Shuyu looked at the message with his finger suspended in the air, and then he searched for information about the cruise ship.
As soon as he clicked in, Pei Shuyu was shocked.
What the hell?! Hundreds of thousands per person?! And that's just for the number of places? All the food and accommodations are extra.
As a poor man, Pei Shuyu couldn't calm down for a long time.
The luxurious cruise ship promotional picture was still on the screen, very dazzling.
He was silent for a few seconds, then, with a stern face, typed a line of words to Lu Hean: [What's the name of your cruise ship?]
Lu Hean: [I won’t tell you.]
Pei Shuyu: ...
He did it on purpose.
Pei Shuyu closed his eyes and typed resignedly: [Is it day and night? I'll go.]
Lu Hean didn't reply, as if he wanted to keep him hanging.
Pei Shuyu's patience was almost at its limit, and just when he was about to give up and simply ask Fu Zhouxing to borrow some money.
Lu Hean replied: [If you beg me, I will take you there.]
Pei Shuyu didn't reply. He thought it would be better to go to Fu Zhouxing to borrow money.
Lu Hean knew he was shy, so he stopped joking after a few tries. "I'm done teasing you. Send me your ID information and I'll book the tickets."
Pei Shuyu asked for leave from his superiors, but they were reluctant to approve it at first.
"What? You want to take a leave too? Fu Zhouxing also took a leave recently! What are you all busy with?!"
Pei Shuyu didn't dare to say anything. Even though Fu Zhouxing was on leave now, he might resign later.
"I'm busy, hurry up." Pei Shuyu urged him to stamp the document. "I only take one leave a year, and it's not just for fun. I have something important to do."
The leader looked at the information filled out and was very suspicious. Pei Shuyu's destination was actually to join the "Day and Night" cruise?
This luxury tourism project is called Sea Utopia.
"What's going on? What business could you possibly have on this cruise ship? No, are you doing something illegal? How could you possibly afford to go here with your salary? I can't even afford to go!"
Pei Shuyu thought to himself, how dare you say that.
"A friend invited me."
"Oh, that's fine. Just don't do anything illegal." The leader said earnestly.
"If you don't want me to do anything illegal, then give me a raise..." Pei Shuyu said, "Hurry up and stamp it."
After getting the approved leave, Pei Shuyu waited for the travel day to arrive.
A message came from the terminal.
【Day and Night Cruise ticket purchase successful.】
Dear Mr. Pei Shuyu, your "Day and Night" cruise will depart at 5:00 PM at XX station. Room number is 1008. Click here for details...
