Chapter 215 Old Newspaper
Sitting in the car on the way back, Lu Qian was still a little uneasy.
Perhaps it was because I had received too much information today and had too many doubts, so I was so tense that I couldn't relax.
Maybe Lu Qian felt that she had said too many things to Luo Chuan that she shouldn't have said today, or maybe Jiang Duo's matter had left a thorn in her heart.
But no matter what it was, this uneasy feeling had no reason, so it made her feel powerless from the bottom of her heart.
Just as I was struggling, I felt a warm touch on my hand.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Yi spoke softly, opened his warm big hands and gently wrapped them around her, his rough fingertips rubbing slowly on her tender skin, as if to comfort her.
Lu Qian tilted his head in confusion.
Cheng Yi's eyes were still on the road in front of him, concentrating on driving, and he didn't even look at her. How could he know that she was not in good condition?
"Do you have a circle of eyes?" she couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Yi chuckled softly, pulled Lu Qian's little hand over and placed it on his lips and kissed it lightly.
"I just care about you more."
Lu Qian smiled slightly and pulled his hand away from Cheng Yi. "Nothing, just focus on driving."
Lu Qian didn't want to think too much. Anyway, as long as she stayed with this man, her uneasiness would always disappear.
"bell--"
Before they were halfway through the journey, Lu Qian's cell phone suddenly rang.
Lu Qian opened it and saw that it was a call from Qu Le.
"What's wrong, Lele?"
"Is my brother with you?"
Qu Le's voice was a little low and impatient.
"Your brother is driving." Lu Qian could tell Qu Le's tone was not good. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Qian heard the clacking sound of keyboard tapping from Qu Le's side.
"Where are you two now?"
"Just came out of Jiang's house after meeting Luo Chuan."
There was a noticeable pause on Qu Le's side, and then he asked in a more serious tone: "Are you going to ask about Rex?"
Lu Qian hummed softly and glanced at Cheng Yi again, "I got a lot of information."
Qu Le didn't say any more nonsense. "I'll send you a location. You and my brother can come directly. I have something to tell you."
“OK.”
As soon as Lu Qian hung up the phone, Qu Le's location was sent to him immediately, very urgently.
Lu Qian connected the location to the car's navigation system and said to Cheng Yi, "Le Le wants to see us for something. Let's go to this place."
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows coldly and looked at the location sent by Qu Le.
"Didn't you say what it was?"
"I didn't say anything," Lu Qian frowned, "but I think this matter is very serious."
Her uneasy mood reached a peak after Qu Le's call. She subconsciously felt that Qu Le's call was the source of her torment.
Cheng Yi frowned and said nothing more. He stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car a little.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at a villa.
Yingfeng stood at the gate and bowed respectfully towards the two people's car.
"Master Cheng, Miss Lu."
Lu Qian got out of the car and took a quick look at the building. The renovation style was really to her liking.
It is not an exaggeration to call this villa a fairy garden. Everywhere you look, you can see beautiful trees and flowers, and lush forests and bamboos with layers of green.
The fishing rods are so green that they are dripping with juice, and each one is green and cool.
There are a few rocks in the courtyard, and fairy birds and animals are surrounding the partition corridors. There are also small bridges, flowing water, and winding paths leading to secluded places.
In the middle of the garden is a four-story Chinese-style villa, which is also built in a very elegant style, with golden and jade gates, laurel palaces and orchid palaces, showing a sense of wealth and elegance.
The varnished white tiles add a touch of fairy air to this prosperous building.
Lu Qian asked, "Is Lele in there?"
Yingfeng turned halfway around and made a "please" gesture, "The head of the family and Miss Qu are waiting for you two inside."
Cheng Yi and Lu Qian followed Yingfeng all the way to the top floor, in front of a vermilion door.
"Please come in, both of you," Yingfeng knocked on the door, then stepped back two steps, "I'll take my leave first."
Lu Qian nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Pushing open the door, the decoration inside is extremely simple and elegant.
There is a wooden table, a few wooden chairs, a stone table, and a solid wood bookcase, and nothing else.
Ebony tea sets were piled on the stone table, water was bubbling in the teapot, the fragrance of lilies was burning in the bronze tripod, and the whole room exuded a refreshing and elegant atmosphere.
Qu Le and Bai Yao were sitting around a large solid wood table. When they heard a noise at the door, they looked up at the person coming in.
"Here I come."
Qu Le folded his hands in front of his face, frowned, and stared coldly at the screen in front of him with his fox eyes.
Lu Qian clearly felt that the air pressure in the room was not very good, and something had indeed happened.
She walked into the study and nodded to Bai Yao, who was sitting next to Qu Le.
The atmosphere between the two men was not good, but neither of them got angry in this situation. They sat quietly on the two main seats at the wooden table.
"What do you want from me?"
Cheng Yi spoke in a deep voice with a cold face.
Qu Le didn't waste any more time. He took out a newspaper from the pile of documents at hand and slid it across the table in front of Cheng Yi.
"This was sent by Lansen."
Cheng Yi lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at the old newspaper in front of him.
This is an all-English daily newspaper. The colored ink on it has faded to the point where it is almost invisible. The edges of the wrinkled newspaper are full of burrs, and the musty smell of ink can penetrate your nose at just one glance.
Lu Qian picked up the newspaper and took a closer look at it.
"This is a newspaper from twenty years ago. I've checked this newspaper."
Qu Le put his hands on the table, staring at the computer screen while explaining to the two of them.
"This newspaper specializes in covering scientific and academic news. It has a small audience and a very low circulation. It also ceased operations twenty years ago."
Lu Qian's eyes quickly scanned the newspaper, turning over page by page.
"I didn't know why Ransom went to all the trouble to send me this until..."
Qu Le stood up and walked to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian happened to turn over the last page of the newspaper at this moment, and a name that was out of place in the all-English newspaper appeared in her sight.
She raised her head and looked at Qu Le, spread the newspaper flat on the table, and pointed with her slender finger.
"Qu Hao."
Two women's voices rang out together.
When Cheng Yi heard this name, his cold expression finally showed a slight fluctuation.
It has been too long since these names buried in memory were mentioned, and they have been buried and forgotten.
"If this newspaper wasn't sent by Lan Sen, I might not care and just think it was a boring coincidence," Qu Le said, leaning against the wooden table, his tone calm but serious. "But Lan Sen not only sent someone to deliver it to Bai Yao, he also told me to be sure to read it."
Bai Yao raised his hand to push up his glasses and added in a low voice, "Lan Sen sent this newspaper to the Baiqinghui headquarters and asked them to find me urgently. I knew this matter must be unusual."
