Yao Lili walked over and peeked outside, whispering, "When did Lu Qing come to Kyoto?"
"Looks like he's doing quite well."
Lu Yang stared intently at Lu Qing's clothes: "The dress she's wearing is one of the items I sent to Kyoto."
"Wholesale price: 2,000 yuan per piece."
Yao Lili was immediately shocked: "So expensive! Did she save up money as an actress?"
Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh: "She's only been an actress for a few days? She probably earned that much during her disappearance."
Yao Lili thought about it carefully, but still couldn't believe it: "The monthly salary in Kyoto is at most a thousand, how... how can she live such a luxurious life?"
Lu Yang sneered. Lu Qing had always been a hard-working person who also longed for a good life.
She's capable of anything to live a better life.
Lu Yang patted her on the shoulder and said, "We're here to have fun, don't let her spoil our mood."
After the two returned to their seats, Lu Yue asked nervously, "Was that person really Lu Qing?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "It's her. You don't need to be afraid of her anymore. She can't hurt you."
Lu Yue smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of her. She has nothing, but I have my mother, my eldest brother, my second brother, and Sister Lili."
Lu Yang patted her head and thought his little sister was the cutest in the world.
After dinner, the group returned to their hotel. Lu Xing saw that it was still early, so he put down his things and went out to play.
Lu Yang thought that there were also surveillance cameras in the hotel, so he didn't take it seriously and lay on the bed watching TV with Yao Lili.
Lu's mother sat with Lu Yue on the balcony, looking at the street scene outside. This bustling capital city was far superior to their small county town.
As darkness fell, Lu Xing suddenly opened the door and rushed in, sweeping up to Lu Yang like a gust of wind.
"Big brother, guess who I just saw!"
Lu Xing said, panting heavily.
Lu Yang stared at the TV, his eyes never leaving it: "Lu Qing."
Lu Xing was startled: "How did you know?"
"She came to book a hotel room with a rich older man."
Lu Yang continued.
Lu Xing felt as if there was a surveillance camera on his brother's forehead, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Yao Lili looked disgusted: "No, has Lu Qing gone mad?"
Lu Yang said calmly, "She just wants to make a good living by taking shortcuts."
Yao Lili was speechless. She would never do such a thing, even if she starved to death, so she couldn't understand Lu Qing's thoughts.
Lu Xing blinked and said, "Big brother, that middle-aged man looks familiar to me, he looks a lot like... someone from that photo you took during your military training."
"You even pointed that out to me that person was your friend, the one who transferred to the military academy!"
Lu Yang suddenly turned his head and suddenly remembered Li Xingran's father. Li Xingran and his father looked about 60% alike.
He hoped it wasn't true, otherwise he wouldn't be able to face Li Xingran's father anymore.
After much thought, he decided to go out and see for himself. People are naturally curious, and he wanted to know if his guess was correct.
Before going out with Lu Xing, he made a point of bringing his camera.
Lu Xing's eyes shone brightly, seemingly very excited, and he crept ahead like a little mouse.
Lu Yang followed behind him, and when they reached the fifth floor, he pointed to the door of room 507 and whispered, "This is the room."
Lu Yang nodded, then turned to look at the door across the hall. The door was open, and no one was living there.
So Lu Yang took Lu Xing downstairs, got their ID cards, and opened 510 across from 507.
He and Lu Xing crawled into room 510, leaving the door slightly ajar. Lu Xing excitedly whispered, "Look at us, don't we look like secret agents?"
Lu Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't follow other people like that anymore. It's dangerous, you know?"
Lu Xing stuck out her tongue but didn't argue. She took out some snacks from her pocket and shared them with Lu Yang.
They waited for two and a half hours, until Lu Xing was almost asleep, before the door to room 507 finally opened.
Lu Yang immediately raised his camera and took a picture of the man through the crack in the door the moment he turned around.
Fortunately, hotels are noisy public places, so the man didn't hear the camera shutter and quickly left after closing the door.
After he left, Lu Yang took another picture of his back before closing the door and letting out a sigh of relief.
"He's not Li Xingran's father."
He said with a hint of relief.
Lu Xing blinked, and said with some disappointment, "That might just be because they look alike."
Lu Yang shook his head: "What a coincidence that someone looks like Li Xingran and has the money to support Lu Qing, and is staying in a hotel of this caliber."
Lu Xing quickly realized: "They are Li Xingran's other relatives."
Lu Yang nodded. Normally, if Lu Qing had gotten involved with someone unrelated, he definitely wouldn't have paid any attention.
But if this person is related to Li Xingran, then he needs to find out.
To put it bluntly, he had been investing in Li Xingran and was almost always willing to grant her requests.
He was just waiting for Li Xingran to rise to prominence one day so he could become his backer.
With his background, it would be too difficult for him to find a reliable backer.
Without a powerful backer, even if the business grows bigger in the future, it will only become easy prey for those in power and influence.
This has been the case throughout history, with the most famous example being Shen Wansan.
"We have to investigate who this guy is. If he's close to Li Xingran, then we're in trouble."
Lu Yang was afraid that the man would be blinded by lust and, after listening to Lu Qing's instigation, would stop Li Xingran from taking care of him.
Lu Xing blinked and said, "What if he and Li Xingran aren't in cahoots?"
Lu Yang said helplessly, "If he still has power and influence, then it will be even more troublesome."
Li Xingran was, after all, a junior in his eyes, and he was afraid that Li Xingran would not be able to stop him.
After thinking it over, he decided to write to Li Xingran as soon as possible to find out the details.
He sat on the ground and thought for a while, while Lu Xing quietly pried open the door a crack and continued to stare outside.
A few minutes later, he patted Lu Yang and silently pointed outside.
This time, Lu Yang saw up close that Lu Qing was still wearing that blue dress, with her hair down and light makeup, walking quickly outside.
Lu Yang closed the door and waited for Lu Qing to leave before immediately leaving the hotel. He then found a nearby photo studio and paid them to develop the photo of the middle-aged man who looked like Li Xingran as soon as possible.
The photo studio was initially reluctant, but Lu Yang offered a lot of money, so the photographer quickly went to develop the photos.
They waited outside for less than an hour before the photos were developed.
Lu Yang carefully put away the negatives, then took the two photos (front and back), bought stamps and envelopes, and found a quiet restaurant to write a letter to Li Xingran.
He recounted his encounter with the middle-aged man and Lu Qing that day, and then gave Li Xingran a piece of information, which he put into the envelope along with the two photos.
After affixing the stamp, he dropped the letter into the mailbox and then returned to the hotel with Lu Xing.
