When Vice President Xiao had heard that question, her eyes gleamed before she said calmly to Lu Jia’er, “Professor Lu, Guo Lin and I are in a normal relationship. That kind of thing will not happen, and since it is currently rush hour after work, if you will excuse me, I have to leave first!
After that, Vice President Xiao started to turn and leave. Lu Jia’er did not stop her, she just said coldly, “You’ll never shed a tear until you see the coffin!”
Vice President Xiao paused her footsteps before she strode away from the rooftop.
A breeze touched her face and she felt refreshed. Lu Jia’er looked at the clouds and the glow in the distance, and she couldn’t help but complain to herself: Are you going to be Batwoman?
However, she was very likely that she’d become a Batwoman. She had already begun to intervene in the business of others yet again despite originally wanting to stay away from it all.
A few minutes later, Lu Jia’er stopped looking into the distance, she turned around and left the rooftop.
In the underground parking lot, Lu Jia’er went to her Cayenne, when it was still a dozen meters away, she saw a pair of headlights blinking at her.
Seeing the license plate number, she knew that it was the car of Jin Xiangdong. Lu Jia’er walked over and Jin Xiangdong rolled down the window and said to her as she approached, “Are you free now?”
“Do you want to invite me to dinner?” Lu Jia’er said with a smile.
“Will you please accept my invitation?” Jin Xiangdong slightly lifted the corners of his lips.
“Yes, I will tomorrow!” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“I should have informed you earlier!” Jin Xiangdong’s expression showed a trace of disappointment.
“I have something to do today!” Lu Jia’er was also a little disappointed.
“See you tomorrow!” said Jin Xiangdong.
“See you tomorrow!” Lu Jia’er waved goodbye to him.
An hour later, Lu Jia’er appeared in a narrow and dark alley. There were shops on both sides of the road. It was bustling with people, but an unpleasant smell permeated the air from the sewer.
Even in the most prosperous of cities, there will still be a dilapidated corner or two. Lu Jia’er found Guo Lin’s residence according to the address written on a piece of paper, and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
The door of the next room opened and a young man appeared, he sized up Lu Jia’er who was standing at the door and said casually, “Are you looking for Guo Lin?”
“Yeah!” Lu Jia’er responded.
“It doesn’t seem as though he’s returned yet!” said the young man.
“Oh, thank you!” Lu Jia’er said.
Lu Jia’er turned and left, but she could hear the young man murmuring there: Guo Lin, you bastard, you are really popular with women!
Walking in the crowded alley, Lu Jia’er suddenly realized that she had made a mistake by coming to the wrong place, so she could not help but move back to her car faster.
Just as Lu Jia’er had started her car, the phone rang with a WeChat ringtone causing Lu Jia’er to give it a quick glance, it said, “Professor Lu, if possible could you help me, please?”
Lu Jia’er frowned. Everything was just as she had expected. So she asked Vice President Xiao to tell her the address.
The car traveled fast down the road. Ten minutes later, Lu Jia’er appeared at the door of Room 1802, a luxury apartment.
Lu Jia’er quickly input the door lock code that Vice President Xiao had just sent her and gently opened the door to get in.
“Guo Lin, take it easy! Please take it easy!” After the door opened, the voice of Vice President Xiao was heard from within.
Lu Jia’er gently stepped into the living room, and she saw that Vice President Xiao, who had been indifferent on the rooftop just a few hours ago, was on her knees on the floor, with messy hair and makeup, crying and begging Guo Lin, who was sitting outside the window, hanging in midair.
When she saw Lu Jia’er, she saw an angel. Seizing her hand, she said, “Professor Lu, please help me!”
