Chapter 521 Full of Guilt
"What's so great about it? It's just a watch."
Wang An was trying to make amends uncomfortably, but Wang Ping knew that the most important thing was not Tang Wan and the others.
But it was Qin's mother in front of them. It was obvious that there was some doubt in her eyes when she looked at them.
Wang Ping explained awkwardly, "I thought Comrade Lu Lin was reluctant to buy it."
“I can’t bear to buy it.”
Lu Lin took off his watch, and the salesperson who was counting the bills changed his expression.
Lu Lin gently placed the watch in the box and said, "But since my man wants to give it to me.
I couldn't let him down, after all, it was just a watch and he could afford it."
She tried hard to control herself from showing a painful expression. Fortunately, there was a gauze on her face, otherwise Wang Ping would definitely see it.
"That's right, wife, I'll take you there."
Huang Ye said to the salesperson proudly: "You packaged this watch more beautifully."
"Yes, comrade."
The salesperson held the watch carefully, afraid of damaging it; after all, it belonged to the customer.
Seeing the salesperson handing the watch and the gift box to Lu Lin, Wang Ping and Wang An felt very embarrassed.
Wang Ping had to force a smile and said to Qin's mother:
"Auntie, shall we go look at other watches?"
She came out for a purpose, so she couldn't waste any more time.
"Yeah, okay."
Qin's mother did not make things difficult for Wang Ping. She just took a deep look at Lu Lin and Tang Wan when she left.
"She looks so smart, she doesn't look like someone who can be easily fooled."
Lu Lin sighed. Mother Qin and Senior Qin looked somewhat similar. At first glance, they guessed each other's identity.
“Maybe they just did it on purpose.”
Tang Wan didn’t understand what they were thinking. Anyway, it would be difficult for Wang Ping to use the Qin family to protect Wang An.
She could clearly see the dissatisfaction and impatience in Qin's mother's eyes towards Wang An.
"This...can't be returned yet?"
Lu Lin looked at the expensive watch in her hand and asked the salesperson carefully, "It hurts."
Just now, Wang Ping and the others put me in a difficult position and I had no choice but to buy it.
It looked nice, but Lu Lin regretted it the moment he turned around.
The salesperson gave a formal smile and said, "Comrade, the invoice has already been issued."
It’s not that you can’t return it, it’s just a bit troublesome.
"Linlin, we won't retreat."
Huang Ye grabbed Lu Lin and walked to the side, "If you like it, let's take her.
We are in this part of Kyoto. If you go back now, they will still see it when they pass by later.
By then, they will have guessed that you had withdrawn, so will we still have the face we need?"
Lu Lin: ...
"Keep it. I don't buy it often, just a piece every now and then."
Tang Wan knew that more than two thousand was a huge sum of money in this era, but no matter what era, there would always be people who bought luxury goods.
They chatted and laughed and looked at other watches. Tang Wan also bought one.
Although the price is not as expensive as Lu Lin's, it is also beautiful. It was Lu Huaijing who took the initiative to buy it for her.
By the time they finished shopping with their bags, the Wang sisters were no longer in the department store.
"I'm tired, let's go back."
Tang Wan took the initiative to suggest going back, and the four of them had lunch at a state-owned hotel.
When I returned to the courtyard, Qin Xue was waiting there, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for some time.
Because Tang Wan had sharp eyes and saw a lot of cigarette butts on the ground.
"Brother Lu."
Qin Xue was very excited to see Tang Wan and the others coming back. God knows how long he was standing there waiting.
How warm-hearted the uncles and aunts in the alley are.
Everyone was eager to push their daughters to him. It was the first time that Qin Xue witnessed the ferocity of the middle-aged women!
"Let's talk inside."
Lu Huaijing naturally took out the key from his pocket, opened the gate and went in.
Tang Wan went to the kitchen and made a pot of tea. Huang Ye waved his hands.
"If it's bad news, I suggest you think it over before you speak."
Seeing that they would be leaving tomorrow afternoon, Huang Ye was actually more anxious than anyone else.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Tang Wan poured each of them a cup of tea and said, "Let's listen to what Comrade Qin has to say first."
"Brother Lu, I have personally investigated this matter, and most of the evidence you provided is true."
Qin Xue cleared his throat, and Huang Ye was a little speechless, "What do you mean by most?
All the evidence is real, okay?"
"It's not that it's untrue, it's just that we haven't had time to verify it all."
Qin Xue first calmed Huang Ye down, "Don't worry, I won't waste the remaining evidence.
The main situation now is that Liu Na admitted that she was the one who released the sulfuric acid.
Wang An and the others refused to admit it. If I want to arrest her now, I can only arrest her on the charge that she took someone else's place in college.
But this matter is not our responsibility, we have to work with you, Kyoto University, to deal with it together."
Wang An's father is the vice president of Peking University, and these are not enough to bring him down now.
That's why Qin Xue felt that things were a bit tricky.
"Today we went to the department store and met your mother and Wang Ping shopping together."
Tang Wan reminded Qin Xue quietly, and Qin Xue frowned slightly, "My mother really likes Wang Ping.
But I told her what Wang Ping and Wang An did, and she should be aware of it."
"Why did you come here without any result?"
Lu Huaijing was a little speechless. He was very efficient in his work and he didn't expect that Qin Xue was just here to report on the progress.
"I'm afraid you might be worried, so I'm telling you this first. I won't let this matter go unchecked."
Qin Xue's expression was serious. "Wang An's bullying of his classmates will never happen again."
"As soon as possible!"
Huang Ye probably knew in his mind that this matter might not be resolved before he left.
But military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and he had to return to the team on time.
Hearing this, Qin Xue immediately said, "Brother Lu, Brother Huang, don't worry, even if you are not here.
I can't be vague about this matter, even though my parents like Wang Ping very much.
But after knowing what Wang Ping did, I will definitely not get involved in such bullshit."
"Well, don't get excited. We believe you."
Lu Huaijing has always believed in Qin Xue, which makes Qin Xue feel better.
After finishing the business talk, Tang Wan invited him to have dinner with her, "Let's sit down and have a drink together."
"No, if this hadn't happened, I would definitely reminisce with Brother Lu.
But I have to deal with this matter quickly, and let people see that it will have a bad impact.
Wang Ping's father is also good at finding faults, so it would be bad if he were to talk nonsense."
Qin Xue had met Vice President Wang, who was a very narrow-minded person.
So he had to be on guard everywhere.
"Okay, we won't force you to stay."
Lu Huaijing is a straightforward person. Since Qin Xue is not free, he naturally won't force him to stay.
After Qin Xue left, Huang Ye said to Lu Lin apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Linlin, I'm afraid the progress of this matter won't be so fast, but we have to leave tomorrow."
He felt guilty towards Lu Lin for not being able to accompany his wife at this time.
Although Lu Lin felt aggrieved, she understood that what he was doing was to protect the country.
"Don't worry about the mission. I can handle this by myself. If anything, I can still have my sister-in-law to help me, right, sister-in-law?"
