Looking at the figure of Kang Ruicheng disappear at the door of the police station, Su Jiananâs hands slowly clenched into fists, and her mind was filled with his words, which were full of smugness and warning.
âWaiting to see the news of the next day.
To deal with people like Kang Ruicheng, they must give the first strike.
Su Jianan entered the interrogation room. Captain Yan and Xiao Ying were sorting out the interrogation materials. She asked, âWhat did the person you just interrogated do?â
Captain Yan helplessly said, âOn the surface he is suspected of covering illegal transactions, but in fact, we guess the person who violated the law is him. Unfortunately, he was not in the private room when we got into it, and he didnât commit to anything; the person caught on that day did not admit that he was his man. Therefore, we could only ask him to be here in the name of assisting the investigation. However, it was expected that he would be very sly and we got nothing.â
âHow did you know that there would be illegal transactions at the club that night?â Su Jianan remembered that Captain Yan had their tasks a few nights ago, and thought of what Lu Boyan had said before going out, so she tentatively asked, âWho gave you the clues?â
Xiao Ying shook her head and said, âAnonymous clues, canât find the source.â
âI see.â
Su Jianan hurried back to the office, without greeting anyone on the way, and was finally stopped by Jiang Shaokai.
âWhatâs wrong?â Jiang Shaokai looked at her pretending to be calm but was actually very worried, âSomething happened to Lu Boyan?â
Su Jianan shook her head, but her eyes were full of confusion. âHe is fine now. But Kang Ruicheng will definitely do something to him again. I need to find some evidence against him.â
âKang Ruicheng?â Jiang Shaokai was no stranger to that name. When he was a child, he heard his fatherâs name Kang Chengtian, which was mentioned by his family many times. He took Su Jianan into the office and closed the door, then asked with a serious face, âHow come Lu Boyan messes with people like him?â
Su Jianan looked at Jiang Shaokai with confusion. She wasnât sure; could she tell him about the grievance of the previous generation of the Lu and the Kang families?
âJianan, you know who my uncle is. After Kang Ruicheng returned to the country, my uncle has been paying attention to him, for fearing that he will become the second Kang Chengtian of city A. Right, Kang Chengtian is the father of Kang Ruicheng, the local villain of the city 14 years ago, then a lawyer surnamed Lu...â
Jiang Shaokai suddenly paused and understood. âThe lawyer who found the key evidence to rule Kang Ruichengâs fatherâs death was Lu Boyanâs father? But didnât his wife commit suicide with her son 14 years ago?â
âThat was a sham,â Su Jianan said, âat that time, Kang Ruicheng constantly threatened Auntie Tang. My mother thought of this method for them, and then arranged for them to go abroad.â
Jiang Shaokai was so clever; he had already guessed why so many things had happened to Auntie Tang after he associated what Su Jianan said, and the things that happened after Kang Ruicheng returned to the country, âSo the alleged massive tax evasion, and the collapse of Fanting Garden were all because of Kang Ruicheng?â
Su Jianan nodded and said, âHe wants to break down Lu Enterprises.â
âThen why were you in such a panic?â Jiang Shaokai asked, âYou canât help Lu Boyan because you know nothing about business.â
Su Jianan thought for a moment, and said that the murderer who led Lu Boyanâs fatherâs death was Kang Ruicheng. She explained, âI canât help with the companyâs affairs. However, I can find evidence to reverse the case and prove that Kang Ruicheng is the murderer. When he is sent to prison, his power will collapse, and by then, we will find evidence to prove Lu Enterprisesâ innocence.â
Jiang Shaokai almost said without thinking about it, âI will help you.â
Su Jianan shook her head. âI donât want to...â
Jiang Shaokai interrupted Su Jianan, âIâm still part of the Jiang family. As long as my uncle doesnât take off his military uniform, Kang Ruicheng would not dare to touch me. Besides, itâs more convenient for me to look through some materials if you want to check the case from decades ago.â
Thousands of grateful words were hanging on the lips, but Su Jianan just said two words, âThank you.â
âItâs fine,â Jiang Shaokai waved his hand, âYou donât need to.â
After finishing the work at hand, Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai began to look up the case data of the year. When she got off work, Su Jianan suddenly thought: âThe driver who took the blame for Kang Ruicheng!â
Jiang Shaokai slowly put on a smile and said, âHow come I didnât think of it? If the driver comes out and overthrows the confession, we could apply for a re-investigation.â
Su Jianan got up and rushed out, asked a colleague to check the driverâs information. She learned that the driver had been released from prison, and they could not get his status quo, and did not know where he was at the moment.
She was frustrated. Jiang Shaokai was optimistic. âItâs fine if heâs released, itâs more convenient for us to visit, right? It is easier to convince him to turn over the case if we talk to him outside.â
âBut we have to find him first,â Su Jianan said.
âIsnât that easy?â Jiang Shaokai smiled easily, âleave it to me!â
At that time, the clock on the wall pointed to five.
âItâs fine,â Jiang Shaokai handed Su Jianan her purse, âyou should get off work first. We can find murderers who have very complex modus operandi, why canât we find a person who always leaves traces of life everywhere?â
Su Jianan took the purse and looked a little worried. âShaokai, donât tell anyone about this.â
Jiang Shaokai nodded. âI know.â
If they acted too apparently, they would definitely attract Kang Ruichengâs attention.
It was definitely easier for Kang Ruicheng to find the driver than them. Therefore, everything must be quietly carried out in the dark.
That day, it was still Uncle Xu who came to pick her up. When she got home, there were only a few people such as Liu Wei who were busy. Lu Boyan... might still come back until the early hours of the morning.
Su Jianan changed her clothes to cook, feeling absent-minded. The movements were naturally slow, and she couldnât notice the movements around her, until a pair of familiar hands wrapped around her waist. She then suddenly came to herself, looking at Lu Boyan behind her with surprise. âHow come youâre back so early today?â
âI came back to eat with you,â Lu Boyan laid his chin on Su Jiananâs shoulder and saw the cut sirloin and potatoes on the chopping board, âpotato stewed with sirloin?â
âYeah,â Su Jianan asked, âWhat do you want to eat? Let me cook for you!â She knew that he hadnât eaten well in the past few days, no wonder he came back so early.
Unexpectedly, the president Lu, who had always been picky about eating, was not picky that day. He said: âWhatever you cook.â
Su Jianan made a sirloin and potatoes stew, cooked the fish soup, and finally made two vegetable dishes. The long-lost fragrance of a meal permeated the house.
After the meal, Su Jianan thought that Lu Boyan was going to be busy, and was about to ask if he wanted her to make some coffee for him. But he just sat on the sofa and took the remote control to turn the TV on, then called Su Jianan, âCome here.â
Su Jianan sat next to him and stared at him intently. âWhatâs going on?â
âJianan, tomorrow...â Lu Boyan hesitated, something he had never done before.
Su Jianan remembered what Kang Ruicheng said to her at the police station in the morning. She asked uncomfortably, âWhat will happen tomorrow?â
âThere will be things that may have a great impact on Lu Enterprises,â Lu Boyan said, âEverything will change.â
From his gaze, Su Jianan had already guessed what would happen.
If it were an ordinary person, perhaps they would be at lost and overwhelmed, but Lu Boyan still acted calmly.
As if he had expected the things that would happen the next day.
Or, as if he were the one who would make them happen.
Su Jianan felt reassured and didnât panic. She just grabbed Lu Boyanâs hand unconsciously and smiled. âNo matter what happens, I will stay with you.â
Lu Boyan suddenly clasped her hand, and pulled her into his arms.
Su Jianan stared at him. âThis is the living room!â âUncle Xu was still up, someone could come out and see us like this at any time!â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. âIs the living room not appropriate?â
Su Jianan said without hesitation, âOf course not!â
Lu Boyan acted like he was very satisfied with this answer. He hooked his lips and said, âThen, letâs go back to the room.â
After being pulled back to the room, Su Jianan knew that she had been fooled, but Lu Boyan had already started to kiss her passionately, and left her no chance to argue about it.
In that regard, she had not been so shy at first, and she would try to respond to Lu Boyan when she found an opportunity, just like at that moment.
Lu Boyan paused, seemingly surprised, but not so excited. He slowed down his movement so that he could lead her to respond to him, while his arms were around her waist.
All things that happened next were just natural.
Lu Jianyan picked up Su Jianan and walked to the bed. At the most untimely moment, the phone suddenly, and he looked depressed.
Su Jianan did not dare to let him see her gloating, so she just rolled into the bed and smiled, reminding him, âPick up the phone.â
It was Shen Yuechuan, he only said, âAll arranged. They said... they believe in you.â
â...â
âI told them that they wonât stay in it for too long.â
Lu Boyanâs knuckles looked pretty white, and he said only one thing after a while, âMake the family members feel better.â
âI know,â Shen Yuechuan said, âthe inside has also been arranged, they live together.â
Lu Boyan hung up the phone and stood near the bed for a long time without moving.
Su Jianan noticed an abnormality and went down the bed to his side, only to find that his eyes were like the night outside the window, so deep and unintelligible.
She took his hand and suddenly hugged him, feeling that his whole body was almost stiff so she hugged him tighter.
After a long time, Lu Boyan returned to normal from the rigid state, and rubbed Su Jiananâs hair. He said, âGo take a bath.â
Su Jianan looked up and looked at him with some fear. âAre you going too?â
Lu Boyan slightly raised his lips. âMrs. Lu, is that an invitation?â
Saying those few words had exhausted all the courage she had, who couldnât stand his asking anyway, so she just let go of him and turned to run. âItâs up to you!â
After rushing into the bathroom, she pushed the door to close. Unexpectedly, she did not hear the sound of the door closing, but fell into a familiar embrace.
Soon, she was drowned by kisses.
That time, there was no phone that would suddenly ring to bother them.
