"Then why did you expose my whereabouts?"
Lu Yi knew that Lu Fan couldn't betray him, but he felt that he had made a huge fool of himself, and that it was all Lu Yi's doing. Thinking about this, he was somewhat unhappy.
"My goal isn't to expose your whereabouts, but to incite conflict within the police department!"
"Alright, let's leave it at that. I hope that the Jiang Group will rely on the efforts of everyone here in the future."
Lu Fan stopped mid-sentence, then stood up and addressed the people in the office, refusing to reveal his reasons for doing so.
"With united will and one heart, we can overcome any obstacle!"
Everyone stood up, and no one paid any more attention to what had just happened. Only two people sensed that something was wrong with Lu Fan: Lu Yi, the person involved, and Nangong Qi, who knew Lu Fan very well.
"You guys go first. What happened today must be kept secret."
Seeing everyone so full of fighting spirit, Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction and gave them some instructions, worried that someone might leak the news beforehand.
Secretary Ge led the supervisors and managers out of the coffee shop first. Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan, the two sisters, were also very happy and went to see off their future colleagues, hoping to leave a good impression on them in advance.
Only Lu Yi, Lu Fan, Lu Xi, and Nangong Qi remained in the room, who were still sitting on the sofa.
Why aren't you two leaving?
Seeing that Lu Xi and Nangong Qi, who had been sitting on the sofa, showed no sign of leaving, Lu Fan looked at them with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Sister Qi!"
Lu Xi had been planning to leave earlier, and was also a bit sleepy today, but seeing that Nangong Qi hadn't moved, she didn't get up to leave either. When she heard her older brother ask them, she nudged Nangong Qi and said...
"What? You're still trying to hide it from us?"
Nangong Qi ignored Lu Xi, her eyes fixed on Lu Fan, and asked him with a smile.
"I have nothing to hide from you."
After hearing Nangong Qi's words, Lu Fan also felt a little awkward and began to avoid Nangong Qi's eyes as he spoke.
"Brother, stop pretending."
After hearing Nangong Qi's words, Lu Xi also noticed Lu Fan's unusual behavior. Having grown up with Lu Fan since childhood, Lu Xi could naturally tell that Lu Fan was hiding something from them. She spoke to the evasive Lu Fan.
"Okay, I only said half of what I meant earlier. My goal was to make it impossible for Sun Yue to have a foothold in the police station."
Since they had already figured it out, Lu Fan had nothing to hide anymore. None of the three of them would tell anyone, so he told them about his previous plans.
"Sun Yue? Didn't you tell me before that if I wanted to prove my innocence, I had to rely on Sun Yue?"
Upon hearing that Lu Fan was targeting Sun Yue, Lu Yi recalled the advice Lu Fan had given him in the hospital room earlier. Finding Lu Fan's words contradictory, he asked him in confusion.
"This is just the first step. The inspection team has already arrived, right? I've already contacted them and introduced Sun Yue to them. They've also done their research and think Sun Yue is a good candidate. They want to ask Sun Yue some questions and also want her to cooperate with other things. But Sun Yue is currently spending all her time at the police station, so it's impossible for them to find or contact her. That's why they set up this trap."
Lu Fan explained his cooperation with the inspection team to the three of them.
"It's really too complicated."
After listening, Lu Xi covered her head with both hands, feeling like her CPU was about to overheat, and collapsed onto the sofa.
"I see. What do you need me to do next?"
Lu Yi understood some of what was being said, and then asked Sun Yue what she wanted him to do.
"Now it's none of your business. You just need to hide and not let the police find you. Once the patrol team finds something that can prove your innocence, you will be exonerated."
After glancing at Lu Yi, Lu Fan thought carefully and realized there was nothing else he needed to do. He then gave Lu Yi his instructions.
"You even know the people in the inspection team?"
Nangong Qi understood completely. This was a collaboration between Lu Fan and the inspection team. Even their four major families couldn't get involved with the inspection team. Hearing that Lu Fan could actually cooperate with them, she asked Lu Fan in surprise.
"Well, the inspection team said I'm an outstanding entrepreneur with no bad records, which is why they chose me to cooperate with them."
There aren't many things that could surprise Nangong Qi, and his face was full of pride as he smiled and said to Nangong Qi.
"Don't believe me. You've been in there twice already. I don't want to know the specifics, but the inspection team is no pushover. You absolutely mustn't let them stab you in the back."
Nangong Qi immediately realized that Lu Fan was lying, but since such matters were Lu Fan's private affairs, she didn't ask any further questions.
But when the inspection team was mentioned, Nangong Qi's face turned serious, and she reminded Lu Fan, who was still smug.
Is there a problem?
Looking at Nangong Qi's solemn expression, Lu Fan wondered what was wrong and asked her, feeling as if Nangong Qi knew something that no one else knew.
"We've already seen everyone off, why don't we stay and have a meal together?"
Just as Nangong Qi was about to speak, Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan, who had just gone out to see Secretary Ge and the others off, returned to the office. Unaware of the somewhat tense atmosphere, they smiled and addressed everyone.
Zhou Ruan, who came in later, noticed something was wrong and quickly tugged at Zhou Wen's clothes from behind.
"So you were talking about something. Why don't we come in later?"
Zhou Wen then noticed that the atmosphere was off and realized that she had come in at the wrong time. She smiled awkwardly and said...
After saying that, he prepared to pull Zhou Ruan away from the office.
"Alright, I won't eat here. I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll head out first."
Nangong Qi sat there all night, and Lu Fan said a lot of things, but none of it had anything to do with her. She just glanced at Lu Fan, said nothing more, got up and left the office.
"I left with Sister Qi too."
Lu Xi was also tired. She stood up, stretched, and after speaking to Lu Fan, she followed Nangong Qi and left.
Zhou Wen, who was about to leave, froze on the spot, not knowing what had happened or how everyone had left in an instant. Then she looked at Lu Fan sitting in the chair.
"It's okay, they're both on a diet and won't eat tonight. Lu Fan and I will eat. What should we eat later?"
Lu Yi, who was standing to the side, noticed that Zhou Wen seemed a little flustered, so he quickly spoke up to ease the awkwardness and asked Zhou Wen with a smile.
"I ordered a lot of home-style dishes, and it should be served in a few minutes, so I'll wait a little longer."
Hearing that Lu Yi had come to her rescue, Zhou Wen smiled and said to Lu Yi.
Hearing that only Lu Yi said to eat here, Lu Fan, who had been in a daze, didn't say anything. Zhou Wen looked at Lu Fan.
