Chapter 224 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am his brother (23)
"Boss Xie, I followed your instructions and asked someone to keep an eye on Qiao Can. Apart from being very close to Mrs. Lin, there is nothing unusual on the surface."
As soon as Assistant Chen Yan uttered that word, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He very cleverly changed the address and found that the boss's expression eased a little. He couldn't help but feel a little balanced in his heart.
You see, the boss is so indifferent to his wife. So from this perspective, he treats me quite well...
Chen Yan quickly shook off the random thoughts in his mind and continued to report:
"But the private detective accidentally discovered that Ms. Lin's behavior was a little strange tonight. She suddenly transferred a large sum of money to an unfamiliar account.
He used his connections to check and found out that the recipient of the money was a gang leader who had been in prison. He had a group of uneducated and unskilled subordinates who often did things that were not worthy of being mentioned in public. You see..."
Xie Jinyi frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he finally relaxed his frown and said in a deep voice:
"Tell him to keep an eye on her from a distance and not interfere with Lin Pianpian. Tell me immediately if there is any situation over there."
Although Chen Yan didn't know what would happen, as the "person close to the boss" who had been with him the longest, what Chen Yan did best was: talk less, ask less, and do more!
He quickly conveyed Xie Jinyi's meaning, fearing that it would delay his boss's plans.
When Xie Jinyi was the only one in the office, he leaned back relaxedly, took off his glasses and threw them on the table, staring at a spot on the ceiling in a daze.
He knew that Lu Chi was going to take her out on a date today. After all, that guy had been asking Sun You to give him advice in the group early in the morning.
Seeing some of the bad ideas Sun You came up with, Xie Jinyi couldn't help but sneer.
Flowers, gifts, candlelight dinner...
Is it vulgar or not?
Xie Jinyi was disdainful in his heart, but the low pressure surrounding him almost made him feel sour.
But when he thought of Ruan Guannan's attitude that day, Xie Jinyi felt not only sour but also bitter.
Before he could come up with any idea, Lin Pianpian suddenly appeared.
He decided that if Lin Pianpian could succeed, he would give her a big red envelope as a gift for her and Lu Chi.
*
Here, Lu Chi took Ruan Guannan into a high-end restaurant, which he had reserved. The waiter only served the two of them and led them all the way to the rooftop with a beautiful view.
Lu Chi politely pulled out a chair for her and motioned for her to sit down, then sat down opposite her with a stern face.
It's not that he wants to ruin the mood, but his face feels a little painful. Last time he emphasized that this is not a date, but looking at the scene now, even a fool wouldn't believe it.
However, seeing Ruan Guannan's surprised and happy expression, Lu Chi put aside his forced pride and his face showed a bit more sincerity and smile.
"Ahem, are you so happy?"
"Yeah, happy."
Ruan Guannan nodded repeatedly. Under the candlelight, her whole body seemed to be glowing dimly, so beautiful that it made people lose their minds.
"Thank you, Achi."
Lu Chi felt an infinite sense of satisfaction in his heart, and suddenly felt that as long as he could see the person opposite him happy, face didn't seem to be that important.
"You're so easily satisfied. It seems my gift is a bit redundant."
Lu Chi shook his head with regret, and glanced across at her, wanting to see the expression on her face.
Ruan Guannan opened his mouth slightly, looking at him as he hesitated to speak, but couldn't help asking:
"As long as it's something you gave, it won't be redundant."
After she finished speaking, a shy blush spread across her cheeks, and the anticipation in her eyes almost dazzled him.
Lu Chi chuckled and was about to wave to the waiter to bring it up when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Lu Chi didn't even look at who the call was from. He just glanced in the direction of the waiter and picked up the phone.
Before he could speak, an anxious voice came from inside.
"Achi, help me, there's a group of people surrounding me and won't let me leave. They're also touching me. I'm so scared, come here quickly..."
There was endless panic and fear in the voice. The man's cursing and Lin Pianpian's cries for help were mixed together. It was obvious that the situation on the other side was very bad.
Lu Chi wanted to say something when the call was suddenly disconnected.
His face suddenly darkened. After all, they had been childhood sweethearts for so many years. Lu Chi couldn't just stand by and watch when Lin Pianpian encountered such a thing.
He stood up hurriedly, looked at Ruan Guannan with an apologetic look on his face, and said quickly:
"Guan Nan, something happened to Pian Pian. I'm going to go over and take a look. You wait here for a while. I'll be back as soon as I resolve the situation."
After saying that, without waiting for Ruan Guannan to reply, he strode out and disappeared from Ruan Guannan's sight in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Guannan sat in the chair in a daze, unable to recover for a while. He couldn't believe that he was fine just now, but was abandoned in the blink of an eye.
The waiter who had just gone down was now pushing a small cart to the table. He hadn't realized that something was wrong yet, and he smiled and wished:
"Madam, this is a surprise your husband prepared for you. Please open it and take a look."
Ruan Guannan was brought back to his senses by his voice, and his eyes slowly moved to the so-called gift.
It was a large bouquet of red roses, bright and eye-catching. In the middle of the bouquet was a small red velvet box. It looked very exquisite, but in Ruan Guannan's eyes it only seemed ironic.
At this time, the cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number that sent her an address.
She knew where this was. There was a loud sound on Lu Chi’s phone just now, and Ruan Guannan heard it.
She didn't want to dwell on who this was, so she stood up without saying a word and ran out hurriedly, ignoring the waiter's calls behind her and just kept running forward.
Ruan Guannan waved to stop a car, gave the address, and sat in the back seat without saying a word.
The driver was startled by the "fairy" who suddenly broke in. When he heard the address of the bar she reported and looked at the heartbroken expression on her face, the driver immediately imagined a series of emotional dramas in his mind: "she loves him, and he loves her", and he was filled with indignation.
"Girl, just rest assured, I will get you there as quickly as possible!"
After saying that, the speed increased a lot.
The sadness on Ruan Guannan's face almost broke. She secretly clenched the edge of the seat with her hands, fearing that the driver would make a sharp turn and throw her out.
Lu Chi drove straight to the bar. His face turned ashen due to the anger in his heart. He knew that it was wrong for him to abandon Ruan Guannan like this. Once the matter was resolved, he would make it up to her.
Thinking of this, Lu Chi quickened his pace. When he arrived at the bar, he saw Lin Pianpian who was surrounded in the middle.
He quickly walked over, grabbed the leader by the collar and punched him.
The gang leader was stunned for a moment, and his face was ferocious when he reacted.
Without waiting for him to make a move, Lin Pianpian quickly ran up and grabbed Lu Chi's arm, secretly winking at the leader.
Lu Chi warned in a cold tone:
"If you keep pestering me like this, I, Lu, will make sure you don't get away with it."
Now, the gang leader didn't dare to act rashly and left with his men cursing.
