After Lu Jiao finished his coffee, Jian Yu handed him his as well, saying, "Here you go."
Aren't you going to drink?
Jian Yu shook her head. "I don't want to drink anymore."
After finishing her meal, Yan Shi walked over to Jian Yu with a coffee in hand. "You don't look well. Haven't you been taking care of yourself lately?"
Jian Yu shook his head, "I haven't rested well these past two days."
"What happened?"
"No."
Yan Shi glanced at Lu Jiao, "What's going on here...?"
Jian Yu said, "He's my childhood friend."
Childhood friend?
Those are the people I grew up with in the orphanage.
Yan Shi assumed that Jian Yu and Lu Jiao were traveling together, so she gave Lu Jiao some instructions, "Girls are prone to blood and qi deficiency, so you should pay attention to her and make sure she gets enough nutrition and doesn't get too tired."
Lu Jiao said, "Someone will take care of her when we get back."
As soon as Lu Jiao spoke, Yan Shi realized that she had misunderstood the relationship between the two. "Jian Yu, after we get back, I'll give you a full body checkup."
Jian Yu did indeed have this plan, and nodded, "Okay."
Feng Mi also leaned over, "I want one too, I've been a bit tired lately."
At the time, she said, "I told you not to follow me, it's too tiring, but you didn't listen. Now you know it's tiring?"
Feng Mi grabbed Yan Shi's arm, "I see you have a bigger workload and are more tired, how could I complain about being tired to everyone else?"
Jian Yu, “…” Excuse me for saying you’re tired? Who was it that just said they were tired?
Yan Shi naturally understood Feng Mi's little scheme. After greeting Jian Yu, she went to find a seat in a corner.
Feng Mi instructed his bodyguard to find the airport manager to arrange a room for them, saying, "Money is no object."
Feng Mi's extravagant and wealthy demeanor drew envious glances from Yan Shi's two colleagues.
I don't know how much extra money the bodyguards paid, but within minutes, they actually cleared out a lounge for them.
Yan Shi called for Jian Yu and Lu Jiao to go and rest together.
This time, Feng Mi didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the lounge, the bodyguards retrieved their suitcases.
There are charging facilities in the lounge.
As he spoke, two colleagues ran over and exclaimed, "Finally, we don't have to wait in line for power outlets in the lobby anymore!"
One charger was plugged into the socket before the other two.
Upon seeing the sinister-looking Lu Jiao, the two dared not say anything and obediently moved to another corner.
Sitting in the lounge, without the urgency of the lobby, Feng Mi had the leisure to chat with Yan Shi. "Tell me about what happened inside."
Upon hearing this, the two colleagues couldn't wait to start talking.
Feng Mi listened quietly the whole time, but when she heard that the other party had voluntarily released the person, her eyes immediately shot towards Lu Jiao like daggers.
Lu Jiao didn't even look up, as if he hadn't noticed.
Feng Mi turned and glared at Jian Yu.
Jian Yu: "......" It's not the money I asked for, why are you glaring at me?
Feng Mi seemed to understand Jian Yu's meaning and sneered silently, "Just now, Lu Jiao and Jian Yu asked me to pay forty million as payment for rescuing you and helping us evade those people afterwards."
Yan Shi and his colleagues, "..."
Lu Jiao then raised his head. "Are you going to deny it?"
At that moment, two colleagues said, "We were released voluntarily by those people, so naturally we don't need to pay you."
Lu Jiao said coolly, "Is that so?"
Feng Mi and Yan Shi both knew that, according to custom, even if Lu Jiao failed, with so much preparation beforehand, it was impossible for him to receive no reward at all.
When he spoke, he said, "The fee will naturally be paid, but it doesn't have to be the full amount."
Lu Jiao said, "It was you guys who were dawdling and wasting time. Otherwise, I would have brought you out before they released the people."
Feng Mi said, "No matter what, you weren't the one who released the person in the end, so you shouldn't have taken the full amount of money."
Lu Jiao turned off his phone and asked very seriously, "Are you sure you want me to refund your money?"
Before Feng Mi could nod, Jian Yu stood up, "Miss Feng..."
"Shut up! You knew perfectly well that it wasn't him who saved the person, yet you still helped him lie to me."
Jian Yu sat down again; she didn't want to get involved anymore.
Jian Yu didn't get involved, but Feng Mi objected, saying, "I trusted you so much back then, but it turns out you're such a money-grubber. I misjudged you too."
Yan tried to stop Feng Mi, but was stopped by two of his colleagues who grabbed his clothes.
He frowned as he spoke.
Lu Jiao crossed his arms, looking like he was ready to watch a good show.
Jian Yu stood up again. "Miss Feng, do you know how much money Lu Jiao asked me for saving him?"
Feng Mi did not believe that Lu Jiao would accept Jian Yu's money.
But then he asked, "How much?"
"2 billion."
"......"
Jian Yu said, "He has already accepted very little from you. For Lu Jiao, successfully finding Yan Shi means he has completed half of his mission."
"You said it yourself, only half of it is completed. Since it's only half, why should he charge me the full amount?"
Jian Yu looked at Lu Jiao, "Why don't you return half?"
Lu Jiao: "I can do it for your sake."
Jian Yu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Lu Jiao had managed to persuade him, but Feng Mi pressed his luck, saying, "No, it has to be refunded in full."
Yan Shi said, "Feng Mi, I'm very grateful that you helped pay the money, so I'll refund half of it! I'll pay you back later for what you paid in advance."
Yan Shi had encountered many dark organizations in the past few months, and Lu Jiao's temperament was somewhat similar to theirs, leading Yan Shi to guess that Lu Jiao's identity was not simple.
Therefore, he didn't want to offend Lu Jiao.
Besides, the other party did indeed risk their life to save him.
Having made his stance clear, Feng Mi had no choice but to nod, gritting his teeth.
After receiving the refund, everyone waited boredly for several more hours before the weather gradually improved.
Feng Mi didn't want to wait any longer, so he had his bodyguard contact local charter flights to return to China.
There are actually several people who share the same thoughts as Feng Mi.
Fearing there wouldn't be enough planes, Feng Mi proactively raised the price.
We coordinated as quickly as possible, and by the time the application was approved, nearly ten hours had passed.
Two or three hours later, they finally boarded the plane.
Jian Yu and Lu Jiao also returned to China on a chartered plane.
Yan Shi thought Feng Mi would disagree and was prepared to persuade him, but to his surprise, Feng Mi took the initiative to invite the two of them without him even having to say a word.
Jian Yu glanced at Lu Jiao silently. Lu Jiao was walking forward with a happy expression, "Finally, we're going back."
Jian Yu lowered his eyes slightly. "Sorry to bother you."
Feng Mi smiled broadly, "You're welcome."
Yan felt somewhat guilty, realizing he had underestimated Feng Mi's stinginess.
Jian Yu and Lu Jiao remained silent throughout the journey.
The closer they got to their destination, the greater the emotional changes among the passengers.
Yan Shi's two colleagues had been sitting still for a while. "It's been two years since he came back. I wonder if anything has changed at home?"
Everyone was excited when the plane landed.
As Jian Yu walked out, she mentally prepared what she should say when she met Huo Qizhen.
Thump---
Lu Jiao suddenly stopped without warning. Jian Yu, who was a step behind him, didn't react in time and bumped into his back. "Why did you stop?"
A pair of silver bracelets landed perfectly on Lu Jiao's wrist.
