"You're asking me where your wife went? How would I know? Just call and ask her."
Lu's mother carried Lu Wei upstairs. When she heard Lu Fan ask her a question, she turned around and said to him in an annoyed tone.
"Hey Jiang Manyue, Mom said you're not coming home tonight?"
Then Lu Fan felt a sudden unease in his heart, so he took out his phone and dialed Jiang Manyue's number to ask.
"Are you sober now? Does your head still hurt?"
Seeing that it was Lu Fan calling, Jiang Manyue already knew what was going on. Instead of answering Lu Fan's question directly, she first asked how Lu Fan was feeling.
"Where are you going tonight? Why aren't you coming home for dinner?"
Hearing Jiang Manyue change the subject, he felt something was very wrong, so he continued to ask her questions.
"I'll be working overtime tonight, so I told Mom to let you eat first."
"Alright, I'm busy now. You should get some rest today. I'll drive home by myself tonight."
Jiang Manyue then didn't give Lu Fan a chance to speak, directly gagging him and hurriedly hanging up the phone.
"President Jiang, is that a call from the chairman?"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Manyue breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she hadn't said something well enough and that Lu Fan might have noticed something was wrong.
Zhang He, who was waiting for news in the office, remained silent when he saw Jiang Manyue making a phone call. After Jiang Manyue hung up, Zhang He asked her in a low voice.
"Yes, tell everyone below to keep their mouths shut. Don't let your chairman hear a single word about this! Do you understand?"
Ever since the kidnapping, Lu Fan has forbidden Jiang Manyue from doing anything dangerous. As a member of the family, Jiang Manyue must share some of Lu Fan's burdens.
If Lu Fan knew, he definitely wouldn't let me go, then looked at Zhang He who was waiting for news and gave him instructions.
"Alright, I'll give the order right now!"
Just as Jiang Manyue was speaking, Zhang He was lost in thought, his head bowed. When he heard Jiang Manyue ask if he understood, he snapped out of his reverie and quickly replied to her.
After saying that, she quickly left the office. Jiang Manyue wanted to show Lu Fan her efficiency and that she could handle things on her own.
——
Night fell quickly.
Knock knock knock!
"President Jiang, everyone is ready, we can set off now. The club is also about to open."
Around four or five o'clock, near the end of the workday, Zhang He had already received news that the high-end club was currently receiving a large sum of money, so he quickly went to Jiang Manyue's office, knocked on the door, and spoke to Jiang Manyue.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Manyue looked up at Zhang He, then took out a small knife from the drawer, put it in her pocket, and led Zhang He downstairs.
"Mr. Jiang, are you going out?"
As they passed through the office area, Secretary Ge saw Jiang Manyue leading Zhang He out and quickly came over, smiling as she asked.
"I'm going out to run some errands, so I won't be here tonight. If there's anything you need to handle, please do so. If you really can't handle it, just leave it for me to deal with tomorrow."
Seeing that it was Secretary Ge, Jiang Manyue didn't tell him what she was going to do. If she told Secretary Ge, it would be the same as telling Lu Fan. So she made up a lie to cover it up.
The two then left in Jiang Manyue's car, and Secretary Ge had a bad feeling about it.
"President Jiang, that's the club up ahead."
After driving for more than ten minutes, Zhang He parked the car on the side of the road, pointed to a building in front of him, and said to Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue looked in the direction Zhang He was pointing and saw several people at the door, looking at each invitation letter one by one, checking each one very carefully.
"Brother He, you've arrived."
After saying that, Zhang He rolled down the car window next to him, stretched his left hand out of the window, and a person quickly jumped out, smiling broadly as he handed Zhang He a cigarette.
"Here, tell me what's going on?"
Zhang He glanced at the man, didn't take the cigarette, but took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it to him, asking, "..."
"The young lady has been inside the whole time and hasn't come out. We've looked carefully, and there's only one entrance on the surface, but we haven't found any hidden ones yet. They're checking very strictly; getting in without an invitation is practically impossible."
The man quickly put away the Zhonghua cigarettes Zhang He had given him and reported the results of his day-long surveillance to Zhang He.
"Hmm, you did a good job. As usual, I'll send you the money tomorrow."
After listening to the report from the person he had arranged, he looked at Jiang Manyue in the passenger seat.
Jiang Manyue, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, heard everything clearly. After hearing the news, she nodded to Zhang He. Although the news was scarce, it was still quite impressive that they had managed to make such a fuss outside.
Zhang He waited until Jiang Manyue nodded before speaking to the man.
Jiang Manyue paid all this money, so it's not enough for me to think it's okay. If Jiang Manyue decides it's not worth it and doesn't want to take the money, I'll have to pay for it myself, and then I can't say anything.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I didn't see you just now."
The man saw Zhang He glance at the passenger seat, then looked over curiously, wanting to know who had come with Zhang He. When he saw Jiang Manyue, he was startled. He had met her once before, and when he arrived, he was too busy greeting Zhang He to say anything to Jiang Manyue.
"Keep an eye on it!"
Looking at Jiang Manyue's face, he sensed her impatience and quickly gave one of his subordinates a look, then spoke to him.
"President Jiang, let's go."
That person was shrewd and left quickly. After the person left, Zhang He said to Jiang Manyue in the passenger seat.
Jiang Manyue and Zhang He got out of the car together. Jiang Manyue walked in front, and Zhang He followed behind like Jiang Manyue's bodyguard, and they arrived at the door.
"Excuse me, miss, do you have an invitation?"
The bodyguards at the door had already noticed Jiang Manyue. After all, any man would take a second look at such a beautiful woman. Seeing her get out of the luxury car with bodyguards behind her, they knew she must be rich and powerful. They were very polite and asked Jiang Manyue with a smile.
"Does not having an invitation mean I can't go in?"
Jiang Manyue ignored the person completely and walked into the club while talking.
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us. We're just gatekeepers. If you try to force your way in, don't blame us for being impolite."
The people at the door quickly blocked Jiang Manyue's way, but their tone was still smiling. They didn't know Jiang Manyue's background and dared not offend the woman in front of them rashly.
