Early the next morning, at Victory Group, within the security departnt.
Lu Yu was eating breakfast while reading the Lin'an news on his phone, and a noticeable smile gradually appeared on his face, making him seem quite surprised.
Displayed prominently on his phone's news interface was a striking headline: Exclusive Report: Lin'an City Ministry of State Security Director Wang Zhengchuan Abuses Power, Arrested Overnight for Investigation by Lin'an City Disciplinary Committee…
Seeing this headline, Lu Yu took a small bite of his bun, and the smile on his face grew even stronger.
It seed that Wang Zhengchuan's actions last night indeed angered Luo Lie, who was usually calm. After all, when Lu Yu left the Ministry of State Security last night, it was already close to 11 p.m., and yet, early this morning, the news about Wang Zhengchuan being arrested for investigation appeared.
This was enough to prove that after he left, Luo Lie did not rest, but imdiately began to handle the matter.
Otherwise, the process could not possibly be so swift.
"That's so rapid action."
Seeing the news on his phone, Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, then he closed the news page, revealing a helpless expression on his face.
Lu Yu was very clear now, the reason this matter was handled so quickly was definitely due to the interference of the Shadow Sword Organization. Otherwise, it couldn't have been processed so swiftly.
Sothing that happened late last night and within less than twelve hours, Wang Zhengchuan was already arrested for investigation—such a swift process indeed greatly exceeded everyone's expectations!
And Lu Yu now understood that the Shadow Sword's interference in this matter was an attempt to win him over, to get him to join the Shadow Sword Organization.
Such actions by Shadow Sword clearly indicated they were doing him a favor!
"When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight."
Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face.
Now Lu Yu fully understood, the reason Shadow Sword went out of their way to interfere in this matter was simply to recruit him into their group. This intention was clear from the beginning.
Regarding the Shadow Sword, Lu Yu couldn't guarantee his future stance, but for now, he was absolutely not going to join them lightly, as the matter involved too many complexities and he didn't want to consider too many side issues.
Currently, uncovering the truth of what happened years ago and avenging his parents was the most important matter.
Buzz!
As Lu Yu was deep in thought, suddenly, the phone on his desk started ringing.
Hearing this, Lu Yu imdiately picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
"Co to my office for a mont, I need your help with a personal matter."
Just as Lu Yu picked up the phone, Leng Qingqiu's voice ca through, with a hint of difficulty in her words, unlike her usual cold deanor.
"I'll be right there."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu replied, then hung up the phone, a helpless smile appearing on his face.
"A personal matter? What's this little girl up to now?"
After hanging up, Lu Yu said with a helpless smile, his voice full of curiosity.
Ever since he knew Leng Qingqiu, she had always been like an ice mountain, keeping everyone at a distance, as if she was born a block of ice. Beautiful and captivating, yet only for distant admiration.
And now, Leng Qingqiu actually took the initiative to ask for his help with a personal matter, which surprised Lu Yu greatly.
This was the first ti since he knew Leng Qingqiu that she called him to discuss a personal matter.
"In that case, I'll see what personal matter this little girl has to seek for."
Thinking of this, Lu Yu smiled, then slowly stood up, left the office, entered the elevator, and headed straight to the top floor where Leng Qingqiu was.
...
Upon entering Leng Qingqiu's office, Lu Yu imdiately saw her sitting in front of her desk, wearing a light blue suit that perfectly outlined her exquisite figure, looking quite sensual.
"So, what's the personal matter?"
Slowly walking into Leng Qingqiu's office, Lu Yu sat on the leather sofa, looked at Leng Qingqiu and said, with an air of calmness: "As far as I know, this is the first ti you've sought out for a personal matter since we t."
Speaking, Lu Yu gazed at Leng Qingqiu in front of the desk, with a hint of amusent in his tone.
"Are you... free tonight?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu spoke hesitantly.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Lu Yu responded crisply: "It's rare for you to have a personal matter to talk to about, so of course I have to be free."
Lu Yu's tone carried a hint of teasing as he now also wanted to know what personal matter Leng Qingqiu had to ask him for.
"Alright then, since you're free, accompany shopping and to the movies tonight."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath and spoke, her words tinged with hesitation.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't believe his ears. Looking at Leng Qingqiu in front of him, he was quite surprised and said: "Accompany you shopping and to the movies?"
Lu Yu's tone carried a trace of disbelief.
It's worth noting that five years ago, he had asked Leng Qingqiu out countless tis for shopping and movies, but Leng Qingqiu always flatly refused. Now, even he didn't expect that the so-called 'personal matter' Leng Qingqiu ntioned turned out to be this.
"That's right."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded and said: "Tonight my parents are holding a party with their friends. I don't like that atmosphere and have nowhere else to go, so I had to find you to pass the ti."
Leng Qingqiu spoke hesitantly, her words carrying a hint of shyness, as it was her first ti actively asking a man out for shopping and movies.
"Is that so?"
Hearing her words, Lu Yu smiled slightly, eyes fixed on Leng Qingqiu and spoke softly.
He believed that the Leng family was hosting a party and also believed she didn't like that atmosphere. However, the part where Leng Qingqiu said she had nowhere to go—Lu Yu absolutely did not believe that.
The Leng Family in Lin'an City was imnsely wealthy, owning more than one property. If Qingqiu really wanted peace, she could easily find a place to rest, or given her workaholic nature, staying late at Victory Group would be a reasonable choice.
But now Qingqiu chose to have him accompany her shopping and to the movies, which was quite unusual.
So now, Lu Yu internally concluded that this little girl Qingqiu must be planning sothing again.
