Chapter 375 - The Opportunity for Lu Qi
Lu Qi sneaked into the elevator. There were all rooms for guests on the third floor and above, and Lu Tao had already reserved a room.
“Brother!” As soon as she entered the room, Lu Qi said quickly, “There will almost be a fight downstairs.”
Lu Tao was getting impatient. “What happened?”
Lu Qi told him what was going on. Lu Tao gloated and said, “Just let them make a mess, so that no one will pay attention to you.” He handed a handkerchief to Lu Qi and asked, “Are you sure that Chen Chen has taken the drug?”
“Yes, she has. I saw she take the drug.” Lu Qi nodded affirmatively. “So what should I do next?”
Lu Tao replied, “You just need to wave this handkerchief in front of Chen Chen, and she will follow you.”
“What is this?” Lu Qi was in doubt. “What if it doesn’t work?”
“It’s incredibly expensive, very difficult to obtain. I spent a lot of money on just a little bit.” Lu Tao said impatiently, “Remember to take off your clothes as soon as you enter the room. I am in the next door, and all the arrangements have been made.”
“I got it.” Lu Qi was a little nervous. Thinking of what Jiang Rui had just looked like downstairs, she was a little scared. “Will he kill us?”
Lu Tao poked her head hard and said, “Didn’t I tell you earlier that the substance on the handkerchief would disappear when exposed to water. He can’t have any evidence. Besides, even if he knows that it is a trap, he will not know it’s us that design it.”
“I remain anonymous, when both buying the drug and contacting reporters. No one knows that it was me, and you can rest assured.” Lu Tao said, while pushing Lu Qi out of the room, “Hurry up. Don’t miss this opportunity, or we will not belong to the Lu family.”
Lu Qi nodded and quickly left. She could not lose the identity as a young lady of the Lu family; she could not see her father divorce her mother; she could also not allow the fucking illegitimate child to take her place…
In the hall, there was not an improvement in the hostile and tense atmosphere. Bai Li stood in front of Jiang Rui and refused to give in. Bai Kai looked at the little girl in Jiang Rui’s arms, and he said when thinking of something, “Jiang Rui, are you not afraid that the child will be scared?”
“Tuan Zi is not scared at all,” Tuan Zi said loudly, “You dare to bully Mom and me, and Dad will lock you all up.”
Not to be outdone, Wen Zeyu said, “I will protect Tuan Zi, too!”
Bai Kai had already lost his head with anxiety. Seeing that Tuan Zi went against him and that a kid out of nowhere also made trouble, he bowed his head and shouted, “Who is the kid? Nobody cares?”
“Do you want to educate my son for me?” A voice sounded lightly. Bai Kai was shocked; he was so impulsive that he forgot that there were no common people on this occasion.
Wen Pintang stepped forward from behind Jiang Rui. “Mr. Bai, you spent the first half of your life in army, but have such unpromising offspring as them. I think that it’s good if the military department gives him a lesson. Anyway, it would be better for him than getting killed in the future.”
“Wen… Wen Pintang.” Bai Kai clenched his teeth. “Your father and I are of the same generation. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far to talk to me like this?”
“I didn’t talk to you; I was talking to your father.” Wen Pintang looked at Bai Li and said, “Am I right, Mr. Bai?”
Bai Li asked in disbelief, “Young son, what do you mean?”
Everyone in the capital knew that the Wen family had always been neutral, never involved with the Jiang family and the Bai family. However, Wen Pintang’s words obviously showed that he stood by Jiang Rui.
“Mr. Bai, I am saying this for your own good.” Wen Pintang smiled and said, “If Jiang Rui wants to arrest someone, no one can stop him. Moreover, if I were him, I would not let him go when he took liberties with my wife and insulted my children.”
When Bai Kai saw that his father didn’t speak suddenly, he was shocked and said, “Dad, you can’t let them take Ziqi away. It’s definitely not a place for people to stay.”
“Enough.” Mr. Bai waved his hand and said, “You can take my grandson away, but as for my granddaughter, you must give me an explanation.” He turned around and walked up to Bai Ziqi. “I hope that you can grow up after this.”
After finishing his words, Bai Li straightened and walked out of the hall, followed by all the other people of the Bai family. Suddenly, he stopped at the door and turned around to focus his sharp eyes on Jiang Rui, saying, “I will be waiting for you at the hospital. If you don’t come, Weirong will not be discharged from the hospital.”
“Grandpa! Grandpa! Dad… Dad…” Bai Ziqi watched his backer walk away, and then had been stunned by Bear before he had time to struggle.
“Take him away. Don’t give him anything; keep him locked up for one night first.”
The two troops of soldiers cried. “Yes!” Then they dragged Bai Ziqi away uniformly.
“Dad! I want to be a general.” Tuan Zi suddenly said, which stunned everyone.
Jiang Rui looked at her and asked, “Do you know what a general is?”
“Yes, I do.” The little girl nodded. “It is a person who can protect their family from being bullied.”
Being silent for a long while, Jiang Rui nodded. “Okay, Tuan Zi will be the first female general!”
“Yeah!” Tuan Zi nodded hard.
Bear laughed and said, “Our Tuan Zi must be a great general in the future.” Xiao Si and Scar even gave Tuan Zi a decent military salute.
Tuan Zi gave them an amazingly standard salute back.
“Eh? Where is Chen Chen?” Xie Hong suddenly found Chen Chen disappeared.
Jiang Rui turned to look at the sofa where Chen Chen was sitting before, but no one was there.
“Bear, find her.” His face clouded. Chen Chen was gutless, so she definitely could not roam here herself.
Wen Pintang also waved to the two people who came with him. “Go to find her.”
Tuan Zi looked worried, and Jiang Rui looked at her and asked, “What do you want to say?”
“Dad, Mom followed a strange thing away.”
“A strange thing?” Jiang Rui understood, “What color is it?”
Tuan Zi thought for a while and replied, “It’s pink, with a very strange smell. It smelled sweet, like ice cream, also like Hei Zi’s shit, very stinky.”
“Don’t you see anyone?”
“No.” Tuan Zi shook her head. “Mom is so stupid that she can be fooled by anything or anyone.”
Jiang Rui nodded. “You are right, so we must keep a close watch on her in the future.”
“Boss, according to the surveillance video, Mrs. Jiang has gone up to the 13th floor alone.” Bear ran to report.
Jiang Rui took Tuan Zi in his arms and went to the elevator. “Alone?”
“Yes,” said Bear. “However, there was something wrong with half the monitors in the morning, so only half the building was shown in the surveillance video.”
Jiang Rui snorted. “The brother and the sister were really disingenuous.”
Scar and Xiao Si behind him gave each other a high five excitedly. Sure enough… boss knew who did it!
Chen Chen felt that the surroundings were foggy and someone was calling her ahead. She kept following the voice. Then she felt a huge pain in her head, and then didn’t know anything.
Lu Qi threw the chair away, stuffed Chen Chen who was in a faint into the wardrobe, took off her clothes, put on the prepared pajamas, got into the quilt and waited for what would happen.
“Can you feel where your mother is?” After walking out of the elevator, Jiang Rui asked Tuan Zi in his arms.
The three men behind him rolled their eyes. “Does the boss think Tuan Zi as a radar? She cannot be so powerful even the blood ties the mother’s heart to the daughter’s!”
Surprisingly, they saw Tuan Zi open her eyes widely and scan over the rooms one by one. Jiang Rui moved along with her gaze.
“Here!” She pointed to a room. “There was the smell inside, but it disappeared immediately.”
Bear was about to say that it was impossible, when he saw an earring at the door.
“It’s Mrs. Jiang’s.” Scar picked it up. “She’s right here.”
“Boss…” Bear frowned. “There is something wrong. It seems that someone brought us here on purpose.”
Jiang Rui handed Tuan Zi to Bear. “Just wait at the door, and don’t come in.”
He gently pushed the door, and it opened. Jiang Rui walked in, looked at the wardrobe first and curled the corner of his mouth; he slowly approached the bed, on which there was obviously a person lying. He sat down beside the person; he was about to reach out when the quilt was suddenly opened, and the person put two snow-white arms around his neck.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a group of people with cameras rushed in and took the photos crazily.
Bear, who was waiting at the door, was about to come in when Jiang Rui’s voice came out. “Don’t come in.” So they had to stand outside the door and kept waiting.
Actually, this room and the next room formed a suite, with a door in the middle connecting two rooms. The reporters rushed in from the next room.
“Chief Jiang, do you really love the young lady of the Lu family?” A reporter asked excitedly. Yesterday, someone called the newspaper and told that Jiang Rui would secretly date with Lu Qi the next day. They had thought that it could not happen, but now they saw it.
Lu Qi screamed when the reporters rushed in. Now she was shivering and burying her head in Jiang Rui’s arms.
Jiang Rui pushed her away and stood up. “Enough? Go out if you have taken enough photos.”
The reporters still wanted to say something, but they were scared by Jiang Rui’s gloomy look and sneaked away quickly.
“Come in.” Jiang Rui went to the wardrobe and Tuan Zi shouted in Bear’s arms, “Mom is inside! Mom is inside!”
Jiang Rui opened the wardrobe and carried Chen Chen out.
“Boss, this woman…” Scar clenched his fists and was about to kill her.
“Leave her alone.” Jiang Rui strode away.
Xiao Si nudged Scar and said, “Let’s go, do you want to stay here and have sex with her?”
“Pah, pah, pah!” Scar came after him and gave him a kick. “I don’t sleep around…”
Lu Qi was sitting on the bed in a daze. She spent a long time on figuring out what happened. Why was it different from her brother’s plan?
According to their plan, Jiang Rui should be forcing her for an answer now, then she would cry and say that she was also framed. But now, everyone was gone, how could she pretend?
It’s getting dark, and the guests began to leave. Wen Pintang asked the driver to start the car; his son was restlessly sitting opposite him.
“Don’t worry, Tuan Zi’s mother is fine.”
Xie Hong looked at him and smiled. “Your son is really attentive to some else’s daughter.”
Wen Pintang nodded indifferently. “Zeyu, do you know that Tuan Zi is not an ordinary girl?”
“I know.” Wen Zeyu nodded solemnly. “She will become a female general in the future.”
“No!” Wen Pintang touched his head. “She will be even more than a general. She will be very, very powerful. So… if you like her, you will live a very hard life.”
Wen Zeyu blushed. “I… I…”
“Take it easy. Think it over.” Wen Pintang looked out the window. “Your life has not begun yet. I don’t want you to regret it.”
