The two of them tacitly ignored Linghu Lan, but also remained silent and stopped talking.
Some people around couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sister Zhang looked completely bewildered.
Lu Youyu had a bad feeling.
There must be a hidden meaning in Ansu's words, but she didn't know what that hidden meaning was; it certainly wasn't a compliment.
Xia Keke: "..."
You're so disgusting! Don't ever say you know me when you go out again. I don't know you, you 'colorful' person.
#The system that refuses to compromise: Your filth has alarmed the Emperor!
Linghu Lan: You've revealed yourself; you know a bit too much. →_→#
Xia Keke pulled Linghu Lan away from the crime scene quickly.
"Ansu, you've got some nerve, spouting nonsense in public like this, you really are..." Well done.
Xia Keke didn't finish her sentence, afraid that if she said everything, Linghu Lan would become even more arrogant.
...
Lu Youyu ate his meal, puzzled.
She ate a few bites, but couldn't eat anymore, so she picked up her phone and looked up what that sentence meant.
She typed in keywords, swiped her phone a few times, and then her expression changed drastically.
Ansu, you shameless bastard.
You're the cucumber and carrot...
She understood everything she heard from the others' laughter.
She glared fiercely at the person who had laughed at her earlier, then stopped eating and strode out of the cafeteria. She was going to settle the score with An Su.
She stormed into Linghu Lan's office, slamming her hand on the table. Her hand stung, but her anger only intensified.
"Ansu, explain yourself clearly! What did you mean just now? Have you no shame?"
"What did you say?" Linghu Lan frowned, slammed her hand on the table, and glared at her. "My lady, you have quite a temper."
"You...you don't remember the shameless things you said?"
Lu Youyu blushed. She wasn't that shameless to utter such vulgarities.
"All I remember is that you slandered Director An. What did you say? That all the cases I solved were arranged by Director An and given to me to boost my performance? Lu Youyu, are you implying that Director An is colluding with the underworld?"
Linghu Lan slowly stood up, her gaze calm and deep, and it was this calmness that made her seem to have an exceptionally strong aura.
The office fell silent.
They had been waiting to see Lu Youyu make a fool of himself ever since he came in.
But I never expected it to be this explosive.
Shouldn't Ansu have kept quiet about this kind of thing? Why did she suddenly make a fuss? Could it really not be someone sent by Director An?
Lu Youyu had a bad feeling. A strange sense of being trapped swept over her, and instinctively, she tried to avoid and deny it.
"Ansu, don't change the subject. I never said that."
"..." My lady, your integrity is truly shattered.
Linghu Lan clicked the mouse, unplugged her headphones, and Lu Youyu's voice came from the computer.
"Ha, what kind of thief can An Su catch? If it weren't for Director An, what cases could she solve? If I had a father like that, I would have solved many cases long ago."
Lu Youyu's face turned pale instantly. She had been careless; there were surveillance cameras everywhere in their building, but no one had ever taken them seriously.
She gripped the table tightly, feeling like she was about to collapse.
Linghu Lan grinned maliciously. "Lu Youyu, can't you recognize your own voice? Are you implying that Director An is colluding with the underworld?"
The moment the word "gangster" entered his ears, Lu Youyu was filled with fear.
Accusing a leader of involvement in organized crime is a crime of defamation.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and large tears streamed down her face.
She felt she couldn't refute it; the shame, anger, and embarrassment of being caught red-handed quickly brought her to her senses.
"Ansu, you've gone too far!"
Linghu Lan: "..."
