"This cream puff tastes a little different from the box Luo Xiao gave me last night."
Jiang Yue handed one to Lu Jingnian. "My sense of taste has always been very sensitive. I remember the one I ate last night very clearly. It was slightly bitter, but the bitterness was almost negligible. If you weren't someone with a particularly sensitive sense of taste, you probably wouldn't be able to taste it at all."
At first, I thought there was something wrong, but then I saw Luo Xiao eat it and was perfectly fine, so I assumed the cream was too sweet, which caused the slight bitterness.
Jiang Yue took another cream puff and tasted it. "But the one I'm eating now, although the cream is very sweet, doesn't have any bitterness at all."
If it weren't for her exceptionally sensitive sense of taste, she would hardly be able to tell the difference.
After finishing the cream puff, Jiang Yue suddenly had an idea, "Lu Jingnian, do you think Luo Xiao might have really tampered with that cream puff?"
But eating only cream puffs won't cause any problems; do I need to come into contact with other things to activate the medicinal effects in the cream puffs?
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Lu Jingnian immediately thought of that book.
"You mean the book Luo Xiao gave you later?"
"Hmm." Jiang Yue nodded. "Otherwise, why would he suddenly give me a book? And when I got that book, I could really smell something unpleasant about it."
"Didn't you have someone take that book for testing?"
"Are there still no results?" Jiang Yue asked.
Lu Jingnian shook his head. "The results won't be out until tomorrow."
Jiang Yue could understand that the technology at that time was not as mature as it would be in the future, and the results came out late.
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Lu Jingnian set out breakfast in front of Jiang Yue and handed her chopsticks.
"I'm glad you're alright now. Leave the Gray Wolf matter to me. You already promised me last night that you wouldn't take any more risks."
Lu Jingnian would risk his life for Jiang Yue, but he absolutely could not allow Jiang Yue to suffer even the slightest mishap.
"knew."
Jiang Yue sighed, took the chopsticks, and was about to pick up a crab roe bun when the phone in the living room rang.
"I'll go pick it up."
Lu Jingnian walked over, picked up the phone, and said in a low voice, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, I'm Luo Xiao, a teacher at Jiang Yue and Yao Hua's night school. Is Jiang Yue here?"
It was Luo Xiao!
Lu Jingnian glanced at Jiang Yue and said, "Oh, it's Teacher Luo. Yueyue just went out. I'm her husband, Lu Jingnian. If you need to see her, you can tell me first, and I'll pass on the message when she comes back."
Upon hearing that it was Luo Xiao, Jiang Yue immediately put down her chopsticks and came over, pressing the speakerphone button on the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Luo Xiao seemed to ponder for two seconds after hearing Lu Jingnian's answer before replying, "It's like this, I just heard that Jiang Yue and Yao Hua both took leave today and won't be able to come to class for the next few days."
I want to ask why?
The current course schedule is quite demanding, and taking so many days off will affect their studies.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue nudged Lu Jingnian and silently said three words to him, "Down jacket!"
Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue were practically telepathic. As soon as Jiang Yue mentioned down jackets, he understood what she meant: "Teacher Luo, thank you for your concern for Yueyue and Yaohua. As you know, Yueyue and Yaohua are in the down jacket business. The reason they are taking leave now is because the down jackets will be on the market soon, and they are both too busy."
"I see?"
Luo Xiao paused for a moment, "Are they at the factory these past few days? I've been going to the factory during the day these past few days too."
If so, I can go there during the day to tutor them.
Lu Jingnian smiled, "Teacher Luo, they've been very busy these past few days. They probably won't have time to study during the day, and they'll likely be back very late at night. But don't worry about them falling behind in their studies. I'll find someone to help them catch up on all the lessons they've missed."
“If the missed lessons can be made up, then I don’t need to worry.” Luo Xiao’s voice was tinged with a smile. “If they encounter any difficult problems in their studies, you can have Jiang Yue and Yao Hua contact me anytime.”
"Thank you, Teacher Luo. I will tell Yueyue and Yaohua what you said."
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he waited for Luo Xiao to hang up before putting down the phone himself.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue asked Lu Jingnian, "If he really is the Gray Wolf you're looking for, isn't it a bit too hasty for him to call me so early?"
He's nothing like the deep, calculating person you described, or someone so good at hiding his true feelings. He seems rather eager to get rid of me.
The gray wolf will jump out soon, just as Lu Jingnian expected.
But whether it is Luo Xiao or not is still uncertain.
Lu Jingnian thought for a moment and explained to Jiang Yue, "Because we have found where he lives in the past few days and caught a few of the people around him who had slipped through the net, if he doesn't come forward, he will soon be found by us passively."
"Do you think Luo Xiao is the Gray Wolf?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Without evidence, nothing can be certain." Lu Jingnian pinched Jiang Yue's cheek. "However, Luo Xiao does seem a bit abnormal right now. I will arrange to investigate him thoroughly."
Don't worry about it, go eat quickly, the steamed buns and porridge will get cold soon.
Jiang Yue pouted. This man really treated her like a child who needed constant adult supervision.
Lu Jingnian didn't want to say more, and Jiang Yue didn't press for details either, turning around to eat.
...
On the other side.
After Luo Xiao hung up Lu Jingnian's call, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Looking at the leave slip in his hand, Luo Xiao narrowed his eyes, not expecting Jiang Yue to be so much more vigilant than he had thought.
He'd worked so hard for so long, but he still got suspected.
but……
"Jiang Yue, do you really think you'll be safe just by hiding?"
He has never failed to get the people he wants.
After putting the leave slip into his desk drawer, Luo Xiao quickly left the school with his keys.
An hour later.
Luo Xiao appeared at the down jacket factory.
When the workers inside saw him, they all greeted him politely.
"Teacher Luo, you've arrived."
Xiao Wang, who was in charge of watching the machine, immediately made way for Luo Xiao when he came over. "Teacher Luo, the machine is running very well today, and there haven't been any problems."
"Thanks a lot."
Luo Xiao smiled and patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder, asking, "By the way, did President Jiang and President Shen come today?"
Xiao Wang shook his head. "General Manager Jiang didn't come. Yesterday, the factory manager told me that General Manager Shen went out of town to discuss cooperation and won't be back until tomorrow."
Lu Jingnian was indeed lying.
The man was as cunning as ever.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work."
Luo Xiao dismissed Xiao Wang, wandered around the machines for a bit, then smirked and quickly left the factory.
Didn't Lu Jingnian say that Jiang Yue would come to the factory?
He wanted to see if Jiang Yue would come this time.
