Lu Jingnian will be fine. Although Lu Jingnian in the book also had a bad ending, he lived longer than Jiang Yue, so it's impossible for anything to happen to him...
"Yueyue?"
Yao Hua looked at Jiang Yue with worry and anxiety. She had heard what those people were saying, and it seemed that they were talking about Battalion Commander Lu.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yue gritted her teeth, pushed Yao Hua's hand away, forced herself to calm down, and walked over step by step to ask the man who had just spoken.
"Brother, the man you were talking about earlier, I heard he died near the hotel, is that right?"
After asking the question, Jiang Yue clenched her fists tightly, repeatedly telling herself not to panic, not to panic, that Lu Jingnian definitely wouldn't do it.
If she panics, she will expose her relationship with Lu Jingnian, and if she exposes it, it will be the same as Lu Jingnian being exposed.
Therefore, she absolutely cannot panic...
"It's in the alley behind the hotel. I heard the police haven't taken the body away yet; it's still there. But you're a girl, so you shouldn't go. It's too gruesome; you'll definitely be scared if you see it."
The other party kindly reminded me.
"Thanks."
Jiang Yue thanked them and turned to Jin Bei, Chun Tao, and Liu Gang, saying, "Someone died here. I'm worried about you leaving so late at night. You should go back now. Yao Hua and I are going upstairs to rest too."
Chun Tao also heard what those people were saying. She said to Jiang Yue with some worry, "Miss Jiang, someone died here. I'm afraid something might happen. Please let Gangzi stay tonight."
We don't need to book a room; we can just wait outside your room.
Liu Gang chimed in, "Chun Tao is right. I heard the criminals haven't been caught yet. Things are bound to get turbulent here tonight. Miss Jiang, please let us stay."
“I’ll stay too,” Jin Bei added. “I haven’t checked out of my room yet. Liu Gang can sleep in mine, and Chun Tao can stay with you. I definitely don’t feel comfortable letting the two of you girls stay in a hotel like this.”
Seeing their resolute attitude, Jiang Yue thought for a moment and nodded.
"Since you want to stay at the hotel, then stay."
I'll have the hotel staff add a bed in the living room in a bit; you'll have to make do with the living room tonight.
Before going upstairs, Jiang Yue told the hotel manager about wanting an extra bed. After the manager agreed, he led them upstairs.
After Jin Bei went upstairs, he originally wanted to go to Jiang Yue's room first. There were many people in Jiang Yue's room now, so he wasn't afraid of any misunderstandings if he went there. However, before he could speak, he heard Jiang Yue say...
"I have a bit of a headache. Hua Hua, when the hotel staff brings the bed over in a little while, you and Chun Tao can pick a spot for them to put the bed in. I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while."
Hearing that Jiang Yue wanted to sleep, Jin Bei decided not to go any further. He noticed that Jiang Yue's face was indeed a little pale, and he was worried. He asked Jiang Yue with concern, "Jiang Yue, is your headache bad?"
Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out, or should I go buy you some medicine?
Jiang Yue quickly shook her head, "No need, I might have been a little carsick on the way back, and I was also a little scared by what I heard downstairs. Don't worry, I'll be fine after a nap. If I really feel unwell, I'll ask you guys to come with me to the hospital without you even having to tell me."
The headache was just an excuse to keep Jin Bei from going to her room.
"Alright, then you go back and get some rest. If anything happens, just have Liu Gang come and get me," Jin Bei said.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't hold back with you."
Jiang Yue and Jin Bei parted ways, and Jiang Yue quickly returned to her room with her entourage.
After the door closed, Jiang Yue immediately said to the three people who followed her in, "Chun Tao, you stay here and protect Hua Hua. Liu Gang, you come out with me for a bit."
Seeing Jiang Yue's anxious expression, Liu Gang roughly understood what she was going to do. He nodded to Jiang Yue, then turned to Chun Tao and instructed her, "You and Hua Hua stay here. Don't go out until we get back."
"Okay," Chun Tao replied without asking any questions.
Yao Hua looked at Jiang Yue with concern, "Yueyue..."
Jiang Yue patted Yao Hua's head. "Good girl, Hua Hua. Liu Gang and I will be back soon."
She had to go and see who that person was. Although Jiang Yue was pretty sure that it wasn't Lu Jingnian, she still had to see for herself to be sure.
Liu Gang came out of the room first, and only let Jiang Yue out after confirming that no one was there.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Yue headed straight for the alley the man had mentioned.
Liu Gang followed Jiang Yue, giving her a deep look, and whispered, "Miss Jiang, I think you don't need to worry. This person today is definitely not the one you're worried about."
Jiang Yue paused slightly, glanced at Liu Gang, and asked, "Do you know who I'm worried about?"
"Is this the same group of people we've been running into the other day? I can tell that the man being harassed is a soldier, and he must have a close relationship with Miss Jiang, right?"
"yes."
Since Jiang Yue dared to bring Liu Gang out, she knew that he was definitely not a bad person and would never betray her.
"Thank you for trusting me so much, Miss Jiang." Liu Gang smiled and quickly followed Jiang Yue forward.
Soon, the two arrived at the alley entrance, where a large crowd had gathered. Police had cordoned off the area, and several people were guarding the alley entrance. Jiang Yue squeezed through and could only see the white cloth covering the other person's body. The other person's legs were placed on the ground in a strange position, as if they had been arranged in a position after death.
On the left side, where the white cloth didn't cover, the fabric of the man's clothes was visible—the corner of a dark blue shirt.
When Jiang Yue saw the fabric, her already pale face turned even paler. This dress... this dress was the one she bought for Lu Jingnian.
