"Wow! You have good observation skills!"
Wen Jialiang rolled down the car window and stared at Lu Yi, looking him up and down.
Old Ma, sitting in the passenger seat, felt extremely uncomfortable.
This doesn't seem like someone coming to freeload a meal; it looks more like they're meeting with an informant!
He raised his hand to wipe his forehead, grinning, "Lu Yi, we meet again!"
"Uncle Ma, it's been a long time!"
After greeting everyone, Lu Yi opened the back door and crouched down to get into the car.
"Mr. Wen, turn around and go two hundred meters ahead, then turn right towards the riverbank. There's a convenient place to talk there."
"You know me?"
Wen Jialiang turned around and looked at him in surprise, but kept his hands on the steering wheel and drove in the direction he was told.
Old Ma simply turned to the side and stared at him intently.
"So you two knew each other all along, and you were just putting on an act for me!"
Wen Jialiang immediately said, "You're wronging me. This is the first time I've been this close to him."
As the car entered a secluded section of road, Wen Jialiang slowed down.
"You didn't see me on TV, did you?"
Lu Yi smiled mysteriously.
He pointed ahead, indicating that he should continue driving.
The two adults were so exasperated by the child that they laughed.
The atmosphere inside the car became more relaxed.
When they arrived at the brightly lit section of the road, Lu Yi looked at the commercial district standing along the river.
“There’s a teahouse over there. My godfather took me there once.”
"Uncle Ma has fatty liver and can't eat too much oily food, but the food there is just right for you."
"Although Mr. Wen is not fat, he has a habit of pinching his brow and rubbing the back of his neck, and his neck is stiff. He probably has high blood pressure, which is perfect..."
Both of them were startled and their expressions turned serious.
Okay!
The falconer learned a lesson from a fledgling eagle.
"Gu Huainan's restaurant specializes in dishes that are rich and heavy in oil and sauce. Eating them at this hour will make you feel bloated tomorrow. So, I'd like to invite you two to have something lighter."
Lu Yi ignored the two people's bewildered expressions and continued to give directions.
It wasn't until Wen Jialiang parked the car and the three of them took the elevator to the store and sat down in the private room that Lao Ma couldn't wait to ask the probing question.
"Lu Yi, who did you learn this from? You have to admit, it actually looks pretty good!"
Wen Jialiang developed a great interest in Lu Yi.
He leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, his scrutinizing gaze never leaving Lu Yi's face since he entered the room.
Lu Yi opened his phone, scanned the QR code to order food.
After doing all this, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them until it was about seven-tenths full.
After settling down, he picked up his teacup, blew on it, and took a small sip along the rim. A playful, childlike smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Your informants have been exposed!"
Although Lao Ma guessed that the leader had placed someone next to Lu Yi.
But when Lu Yi pointed it out so bluntly, he was taken aback and looked to his superior for confirmation.
Wen Jialiang wasn't surprised.
He glanced at Old Ma's face and looked at Lu Yi approvingly, "When was it exposed?"
Lu Yi slowly put down his teacup. "When was it planted? That's when it was exposed?"
The two exchanged cryptic remarks.
Old Ma listened from the side, completely confused.
It seems that Lu Yi has gained not only wealth that ordinary people never see in their entire lives during this period, but also other kinds of experience!
Wen Jialiang was outmaneuvered.
If he mentions the exact time, the answer will become obvious.
But if he doesn't say anything, Lu Yi can judge who the informant is by his reaction.
Only when Wen Jialiang noticed that Lu Yi's gaze had shifted away from his face did he realize that his expression for a fleeting moment had given Lu Yi the correct answer he wanted.
"I must say, you are indeed very clever!"
"If you don't show up tonight, I might misunderstand someone."
Lu Yi stopped talking when he heard the noise outside the door.
After the waiter brought the dishes, he continued, "Three people appeared beside me at the same time, and I know all three of them..."
"I really shouldn't have doubted their motives for approaching me."
"One of them is my sworn brother. He is straightforward, simple-minded, and quite skilled. He is almost always by my side."
"One is my business partner and good brother in private. He comes from a prestigious family, and his intelligence and endurance are no less than mine. He lives under the same roof as me."
"The third one is my older sister, who shares the same parents. Although she lives across from me, we see each other almost every day."
Old Ma stared intently at his lips, as if listening to gibberish.
I picked up my chopsticks and randomly grabbed some food, stuffing it into my mouth. Half a plate was gone before I even realized what I was eating.
Wen Jialiang remained calm and composed, his face as still as a deep well.
Seeing how cautious he was, Lu Yi picked up his chopsticks and decided not to continue.
He raised his hand and said, "Eat your food, eat your food, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Old Ma was caught in a dilemma, and he was so anxious that he stared wide-eyed.
"Hurry up and tell me, don't you already know the answer?"
Lu Yi used serving chopsticks to put fish into their bowls.
Seeing Old Ma's face turn red with anxiety, he chuckled and said, "It seems Uncle Ma has no part in this!"
Old Ma pondered for a moment, then fell silent.
Wen Jialiang finally moved, picking up his chopsticks and taking a piece of tender white fish. "Hmm, this fish is good, just steamed, so fresh!"
Just as Lu Yi was about to explain how to cook the fish, Wen Jialiang suddenly lifted his eyelids and glared at him.
"Is Daniel's death related to you?"
The chopsticks in Old Ma's hand slipped and fell onto the table, clattering against the plates and bowls with a series of loud, chaotic sounds.
Lu Yi's hand, which was holding the fish, hovered in the air as she looked back at him for a few seconds.
With a slight frown, he lowered his gaze and placed the fish in the bowl.
"How disappointing. I thought you wanted to see me for something, but it turns out you treat me like a suspect?"
"Aren't you afraid that this meal I treated you to is a bribe, a plea for your protection?"
Old Ma picked up his chopsticks and looked at Lu Yi, who exuded such a powerful aura. Suddenly, he understood the leader's original intention in investigating Lu Yi.
Wen Jialiang sneered, "What's a mere meal..."
"What about this one?"
Lu Yi put down his chopsticks, a smile curving upwards at the corners of his mouth.
He took out his phone and showed a video.
Old Ma angrily retorted, "Lu Yi, you're framing me!"
In the scene, a man in black opens Wen Jialiang's car, stuffs a suitcase inside, and when opened, reveals a suitcase full of banknotes!
"Could it be that you really did it?"
Old Ma slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Lu Yi, for the sake of the Fan family's wealth and glory, you went so far as to kill Daniel. How is this any different from Lu Han's scheming to harm you?"
Lu Yi sighed deeply.
"So, this is your line of thinking?"
Wen Jialiang pulled the irritable Lao Ma back to his seat, but his eyes remained fixed on Lu Yi's features.
"You've made a fool of yourself! But there's a reason why you were the first person we thought of. It's always better to clear your name sooner rather than later, than to let the Fan family suspect you, don't you think?"
Lu Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"I've only just come of age and just finished the college entrance exam. Why are you so sure I have the ability to reach out to the other side of the ocean?"
