Chapter 552: Oops! I Said the Wrong Thing While Drunk
Ji Chiqian has always been wary of Lu Xicheng. He always feels that this person is inexplicably dangerous, but he can't put his finger on it.
"We're still investigating. There's not much turnover on the island, and many people have signed confidentiality agreements, so they're not very clear about anything beyond their job descriptions. The management within the island is also quite strange."
Ji Chiqian put out his cigarette: "Keep investigating, don't let your guard down, you'll definitely find out after a while."
"Okay, I'll arrange for a few people to go to the island and work as insiders. After a while, they'll naturally know what secrets are there."
After Gu Zifeng finished speaking, he became a little worried: "But your mother's treatment is not over yet, but the lawsuit is over. Lu Xicheng will probably leave and return to the island soon. Then, will Auntie be allowed to go to the island?"
"Won't."
Ji Chiqian's tone was firm: "I won't let her go even though we haven't figured out where that island is."
"I guess so. Anyway, we should make plans early."
Ji Chiqian nodded: "I know what's going on. Now that they know about the poisoning, the hospital will find a way to treat it."
It's impossible that only people on the island can do it.
Maybe the research on the island is indeed a little faster than that of people outside, but as long as there is enough time and money, they will definitely be able to find a way to treat and detoxify.
Ji Chiqian didn't believe Lu Xicheng.

After Lu Ning got in the car, Chen Yu handed her a bouquet of flowers.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Lu Ning took the flowers: "Thank you."
"Chen Guoguo is setting up the apartment, so I came to pick you up."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for staying with me all this time."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all your friends. How can we not accompany you?"
Lu Ning held the flowers in her hand and felt a sense of peace in her heart.
Qin Yang drove to the basement of the apartment and took the two girls upstairs.
Outside the apartment, Lu Xicheng's car was parked.
Lu Bei drove the car himself: "Third brother, since you are here, why don't you get in?"
Lu Xicheng looked at the light in the apartment: "If we go up, she will just feel disappointed. She doesn't want to share her happiness and joy with us. She has her friends now."
Lu Xicheng's tone was a little lonely.
Lu Bei looked up at the lights in the apartment. "Third brother, we were the ones who treated her badly in the past. But she still worked hard on her own and has made good friends. We should be happy for her."
"Yeah, we should be happy for her."
Lu Xicheng glanced at the gift in his hand and said, "But I hope she can come back to us, and live with us like we did when we were little without Qin Xiang."
Lu Bei couldn't help but recall: "When we were little, my little sister was so attached to us. All she had eyes for were us brothers."
Lu Xicheng's eyes darkened a lot: "That's why I want everything to go back to the way it was before, back on track."
"Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Time can't be reversed, and there's no way to get back on track. We just need to be careful and make it up to Lu Ning."
Lu Xicheng looked at the lights in the apartment upstairs and didn't answer a word.
The more impossible something is, the more he wants to try.
He will definitely be able to do it in this lifetime.
——
When Lu Ning returned to the apartment, Chen Guoguo had already decorated the living room and placed a brazier at the door.
Chen Guoguo: "My mother said that I should jump over the fire basin to remove all filth and start a new life in the future."
Lu Ning looked at the brazier and stepped over it.
Lu Ning walked into the living room and saw a lot of gifts on the sofa. She was a little surprised: "Did you prepare all these?"
Chen Guoguo said, "How is that possible? This is a gift chosen for you by the girls in our dormitory. Congratulations."
Chen Yu: "Everyone knows about your family's affairs now. After I saw Qin Xiang's death, I specially arranged for someone to expose the whole thing. You saved so many people in the dormitory before, and everyone knows your character, so the matter of Qin Xiang's death was quickly cleared up for you."
"That's right. Chen Yu's article explaining the whole thing has already clarified the matter for you."
Lu Ning smiled and looked at Chen Yu: "Thank you."
"None of this matters. It's all over now, and the future will be smooth sailing."
Lu Ning sat at the dining table and made a wish to the cake.
She just hopes to live a new life in this life.
Lu Ning took a lot of photos, drank some red wine, and posted on WeChat Moments.
Chen Yu glanced at the time and said, "Then you can have a good rest by yourself. We will go back to school first."
Chen Guoguo wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Chen Yu.
Lu Ning felt a little dizzy from drinking, and she watched her good friend leave.
Outside, Chen Guoguo stood in front of the elevator: "Why are you leaving so soon?"
Chen Yu coughed and said, "At this time, let's leave her some space alone. Let's not be the third wheel here."
"You mean Ji Chiqian will come?"
"I don't know the details, I just heard some people mention it."
Qin Yang stood by and calmly pressed the elevator button without answering the question of hiding his achievements and fame.
——
Lu Ning was the only one in the apartment.
She took out the photo and posted it on her Moments: [A new beginning.]
Lu Ning lay on the table, took out the unfinished red wine, and poured another glass.
She is really happy today.
Lu Ning sat at the table, and everything from her previous life seemed far away.
Qin Xiang died, and Boss Qin and Madam Mo were sentenced. The truth of that year was revealed.
She didn't know how long she had been drinking when a pair of hands pressed down on her cup: "Don't drink anymore."
Lu Ning looked up and saw Ji Chiqian: "Why are you here?"
"Didn't we make an appointment? I came to pick you up, but you got drunk first."
Ji Chiqian called her but she didn't answer. However, Chen Yu had already left and Lu Ning was the only one in the apartment.
He was a little worried, so he asked for the password and came in.
As a result, I saw Lu Ning drunk alone.
Lu Ning happily hugged Ji Chiqian and said, "You're finally here. You helped me a lot this time. I was too stupid before. I ended up like that because I was so useless."
Ji Chiqian was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant.
Lu Ning continued, "You were right before. Blindly giving to your family is foolish. I was just too stupid before."
“…”
Has he ever said something like this before?
But Lu Ning had given so much to the Lu family's brothers in the past, so this behavior was indeed stupid.
Ji Chiqian just thought she was drunk and talking nonsense.
He picked the man up and said, "It's good to know, but you've woken up now, and that's a good thing."
"Are you still going to call me stupid now?"
Ji Chiqian replied gently: "I never called you stupid."
"You've scolded me before, when I was helping with homework in the infirmary, and when you were teaching me how to play games."
There was a hint of complaint in Lu Ning's words.
Ji Chiqian looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Are you angry and still holding a grudge? But how can I remember? I never taught you how to play games."
She was pretty good at playing games.
Lu Ning looked up and said seriously, "Why haven't I taught you? You were the one who taught me the twelve-hit combo."
