Chapter 198 This Damn Understanding
Once in the car, Lu Mingzheng considerately helped Jiang Ruzhen fasten her seatbelt, draped a coat over her shoulders, and gently told her to take a nap.
“Okay, I’ll drive after I’ve slept for two hours.” Jiang Ruzhen didn’t argue.
"You can drive?" Jiang Zhengxiao asked in surprise.
It's so rare to find someone who can drive these days. When will you be able to do that, little sister?
"Oh, I taught her that," Lu Mingzheng casually covered for Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen smiled and looked at Lu Mingzheng. Their eyes met in the air, and they smiled at each other in perfect unison.
The car started smoothly and gradually disappeared into the night.
Lu Mingzheng's driving skills were excellent; he drove steadily and quickly the whole way.
Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing were both preoccupied with their own thoughts and thought they would be too stressed to sleep the whole way.
Jiang Ruzhen fell asleep instantly, and Zhou Qing didn't even last twenty minutes.
Jiang Zhengxiao also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Lu Mingzheng, partly to prevent Lu Mingzheng from getting sleepy, and partly to learn more about the man's temperament.
But in less than half an hour, he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and he fell asleep as soon as his head drooped.
When they woke up again, four hours had passed.
The car was already parked at a roadside gas station, waiting to refuel.
Jiang Ruzhen stretched and got out of the car with her second brother and sister-in-law to stretch their arms and legs.
After refueling, when everyone got back into the car, Jiang Ruzhen and Lu Mingzheng had switched seats.
After the car started, Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing gripped the handrails tightly, feeling uneasy.
Although Lu Mingzheng said that Jiang Ruzhen was a very good driver, they still did not believe that Jiang Ruzhen could handle such a big car.
Jiang Ruzhen pretended to take out several bottles of spiritual spring water from her bag, handing one bottle to her second brother and sister-in-law, and drinking one herself.
After drinking it, the three of them felt refreshed, as if their bodies had been parched and then nourished by rain.
The discomfort and tension from being curled up in the car vanished instantly.
"This water... is it the nutrient solution you gave us when you first visited us in Kubazi Village?" Jiang Zhengxiao asked in surprise.
"Ruzhen, where did you get this nutrient solution? How come it's so effective?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.
Jiang Ruzhen also handed a bottle to Lu Mingzheng and casually said.
"These good things were all given to me by Lu Mingzheng. The source is a secret, and I don't know it either."
"Oh~~~" Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing both let out a long "oh" and looked at Lu Mingzheng.
Lu Mingzheng nodded in agreement. Jiang Zhengxiao and his wife exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that their younger sister had been having an affair with this young Lu for a long time.
What do you mean, "we only recently confirmed our relationship"? You're kidding me.
This magical liquid is obviously very expensive.
If the relationship wasn't good back then, why would Xiao Lu have given such nice things to his younger sister? And why did he bring so many to their relatives as well?
Hearing the two people's exaggerated "oh" sounds, Jiang Ruzhen stuck out her tongue and looked at Lu Mingzheng.
Lu Mingzheng drank the spiritual spring water, but smiled without saying a word. The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly again.
Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing had already forgotten their earlier worries about Jiang Ruzhen's driving skills, and instead began to inquire about Jiang Ruzhen's love history.
Jiang Ruzhen answered all their questions, satisfying their curiosity and easing their tension.
Lu Mingzheng sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, listening to Jiang Ruzhen's rambling, unfounded love stories she had heard from somewhere.
A doting smile curved her lips as she drifted off to sleep, feeling relaxed and at ease.
When he decided to come back, it was less than half an hour away from Luo City.
He was shocked. He was always very vigilant when he went out and never entrusted his life to others.
But today, he slept so soundly that he didn't even have a dream.
Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing also praised Jiang Ruzhen's driving skills, saying that she was indeed taught by Lu Mingzheng and was both steady and fast.
After entering the city, Lu Mingzheng directed Jiang Ruzhen to drive the car to the front of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
A black Jeep was parked there early in the morning, and a man was squatting on the ground smoking. There were already cigarette butts piled up at his feet.
It was immediately obvious that this person had been waiting here for a long time.
The man looked up and saw a car stop. He quickly stubbed out his cigarette and got up to greet it.
Just as I was about to walk around to the driver's seat, Lu Mingzheng got out of the passenger seat.
He paused for a second before raising his hand in a salute to Lu Mingzheng, saying, "Hello, Boss!"
Lu Mingzheng pulled his hand down and laughed, "Alright, stop with the act. Haven't you found out anything?"
Yang Yu gave Lu Mingzheng a warm hug and laughed, "How could that be? None of the boss's soldiers are cowards."
"Then tell me the specifics," Lu Mingzheng said with satisfaction.
Just as Yang Yu was about to speak, three more people got out of the car.
He glanced sharply over and saw the woman getting out of the driver's seat just as the last rays of the setting sun shone on her.
This gives Jiang Ruzhen a dreamlike, fairytale-like aura.
Yang Yu was stunned, his mouth agape in shock. "Holy crap, a fairy!"
Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words. Yang Yu became even more excited and took a step to go over and say hello.
Lu Mingzheng got angry. Seeing Jiang Ruzhen's smile and then looking at Yang Yu's infatuated expression, his expression immediately darkened.
With a swift movement, he executed a powerful grappling move, subduing Yang Yu and forcing him to kneel on the ground.
"What are you looking at? That's your sister-in-law, quickly call her over."
"Huh? Sister-in-law?" Yang Yu's expression was horrified, his face filled with disbelief. "Boss, you actually got married?"
"What? Can't I get married?" Lu Mingzheng's tone was full of threat.
"No, what I mean is, how could you, the eternal ice block, whose determination to obtain the scriptures cannot be shaken even by all sorts of female demons, possibly like women?"
"Boss, didn't you know the rumors that circulated in our team back then that you liked men? A few of us brothers were even worried that you'd fall for one of us, and whether we should go for it or not?"
Yang Yu was so shocked that he accidentally blurted out what was on his mind.
Lu Mingzheng was furious. Yang Yu was usually quite shrewd, so how could he slander him like this in front of Jiang Ruzhen?
One of his men was about to give Yang Yu a lesson he would never forget when Jiang Ruzhen came over with a smile to stop him.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Upon hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words, Lu Mingzheng immediately released Yang Yu, but his eyes were full of warning.
Yang Yu was even more shocked. How could the devilish instructor from back then have become so good-natured?
He immediately obeyed his sister-in-law's words. This sister-in-law is amazing. He should try to curry favor with her more in the future.
However, there are important matters to attend to now.
He reported with a serious expression, "Boss, we've basically pinpointed Jiang Wen's location. But the higher-ups want us to play the long game."
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing, who were initially quite happy, immediately became nervous after hearing Yang Yu's words.
