A hint of wariness flashed in Lu Rongyu's eyes. She stared intently at Lu An'an and asked cautiously, "A deal? What kind of deal?"
Lu An'an smiled meaningfully: "It's very simple. You just need to tell me the purpose of your and the old lady's visit to the Lu family. When you beg me for help, I'll gladly get you out of the police station, how about that?"
Lu Rongyu felt a sudden chill, as if a cold wind had swept over her. Did Lu An'an mean... that they already knew something?
She quickly adjusted her breathing, trying to calm herself down. With a flicker in her eyes, she said in a deliberately calm tone, "We don't have any ulterior motives. It's just that my grandma felt sorry for me after my parents passed away, so she thought of taking me back to the Lu family."
Lu An'an looked unconvinced and exposed her, saying, "You don't need to tell me such a blatant lie. According to my parents, my grandma loves me very much, so why would she specifically ask you to come back to replace me?"
She looked at Lu Rongyu with a half-smile, "Lu Rongyu, you and the old lady know your identities perfectly well, and we know them too. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here wasting my time asking you this question."
Lu Rongyu's hand, resting under the table, trembled slightly involuntarily. A chill crept up her spine. When...when exactly did they discover this?!
Seeing that Lu Rongyu remained silent for a long time, Lu An'an's eyes grew colder and colder. "If you think this question is too difficult, then I'll ask you another one."
She stared at Lu Rongyu with icy eyes, her tone sharp and unyielding: "Where is my grandmother?"
Lu Rongyu suddenly looked up and met Lu An'an's eyes, which seemed to see through everything. A chill ran straight to her heart, and her heart was pounding wildly, as if it would jump out of her throat at any moment.
She swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly: "Isn't Grandma in the old house?"
Lu An'an's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she sneered, "You know who I'm talking about. Since you're not cooperating, then you can stay here."
After saying this, she slowly stood up, preparing to leave the interrogation room with Qi Rang.
Lu Rongyu's heart tightened, and she blurted out, "Wait a minute!"
Lu An'an stopped at the sound, turned around and looked at Lu Rongyu with a calm and indifferent gaze, "What?"
Lu Rongyu's heart was in turmoil. After struggling for a while, she gritted her teeth and said indistinctly, "Jiazhou City."
Lu An'an's lips curled slightly. "And then?"
Lu Rongyu looked up, her eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of resentment and determination. She glared at Lu An'an and said, "That's all I can tell you."
Lu An'an raised an eyebrow slightly, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes, then nodded gently, "Alright, let's leave it at that then."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door. Seeing this, Lu Rongyu anxiously asked after her, "Can I go out now?"
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an slowly turned her head, a sly glint in her eyes, and smiled brightly: "You haven't begged me yet, so how are you going to get out?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Rongyu's expression changed drastically, and anger surged into her heart instantly. "Lu An'an, you lied to me!"
Lu An'an, however, was not offended and laughed happily: "You're wrong about what you're saying. Before we made a deal, I said that if you agreed to make a deal with me, I would readily agree when you begged me to drop the charges. But you haven't begged me yet."
[You didn't expect this, did you? Such a great opportunity, how could I let it slip by so easily?]
Lu Rongyu clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Lu An'an, her face contorted with rage, each word seemingly squeezed out through clenched teeth: "Lu An'an, I... I beg you, drop the charges against me."
A brighter smile appeared on Lu An'an's lips.
I won't say who had the most fun.
She nodded casually, "Okay, I got it. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he ignored Lu Rongyu's angry shouts and left the interrogation room.
Walking side by side with Qi Rang down the corridor, Lu An'an felt an indescribable sense of joy, her shoulders trembling slightly from the barely suppressed laughter.
[Hahaha, it's so satisfying to be the villainous female supporting character! She makes the female lead furious in no time, hahaha.]
Qi Rang looked at Lu An'an's villainous smile, his lips twitched, and he said, "Miss Lu, if there's nothing else, we'll let Lu Rongyu leave in a little while."
Lu An'an replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, let it go, it's alright now, thank you for your help, Captain Qi."
Qi Rang shook his head slightly, his tone gentle yet formal: "Miss Lu, you're too kind. You've caught a corrupt official for the police station; we should be thanking you."
Lu An'an smiled and waved her hand, "Captain Qi, you flatter me. Police-civilian cooperation is our duty."
Back in the lobby, Lu An'an met up with the others, exchanged a few words with Qi Rang, and then left the police station with her parents and brothers.
Back home, Lu Mingqian couldn't wait to ask Lu An'an, "An'an, what did you ask Lu Rongyu?"
Lu An'an replied softly, "I tried asking about Grandma's whereabouts."
Lu Mingqian's eyes lit up. "Did she say it?"
Lu An'an nodded gently, "She did tell me, but she only gave a general location, saying that Grandma was in Jiazhou City. I was afraid of a backlash, so I didn't ask any more questions."
Lu Wenjing said calmly, "Having a general location is enough. I will send people to search in various parts of Jiaozhou City."
Lu Yanli's calm voice interrupted Lu Wenjing: "No need, I received a call from the director. The next episode of the variety show will be in Jiazhou City. I can go there after the show ends."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an asked in surprise, "Is the variety show going to continue?"
