335: Even If You Like Miss Lu

Even If You Like Miss Lu

Lu Ning looked at him. "Good night. Go to bed early."1

Lu Jingzhi smiled. "Yes, you too."

Lu Ning closed the door and left.

Lu Jingzhi looked down at the computer screen. There was a program that was executed halfway. He silently paused it, then returned the forum thread to its initial state.

Who knew what was going on in that little head of his.

The post that was re-released was still very popular.

New posts kept appearing.

Lu Jingzhi's eyes turned cold as he looked at the new posts that kept popping up.

[Scared me to death! I thought the thread was gone.]

[I was shocked when the thread suddenly disappeared.]

[What's going on? I was happily reading through it when it suddenly turned blank.]

[Maybe it's a bug in the forum! Hurry up, OP above, any other juicy gossip? We need more.]

[That's right, moar!]

[Pfft, do you even need to beg for stuff on her? Just casually ask around and you'll find a whole bunch. If it weren't for the Lù family, how would she have covered up so much?]

Not many people cared about knowing the truth, and no one bothered to look at posts clarifying the matter. There was no basis for these rumors which blended truth with falsehoods, yet they kept appearing in these posts in front of the gossip-hungry readers.

They did not care about the truth, they did not ask for the cause. They simply wanted to spectate from a distance as a girl was dragged down from a pedestal. As they watched, they replied to some words which felt unimportant to them, yet they never thought that these words could become a knife that would kill, slashing away at the self-esteem and innocence of the person involved, bit by bit.

Huo Jinyan was in the back of the car. Chu Ting glanced at Huo Jinyan in the mirror.

"President Huo, Old Master is calling again."

Huo Jinyan put his laptop on his lap and turned it on. "Okay."

He did not say anything. After a moment of silence, Chu Ting said, "President Huo, are we not going back yet?"

Huo Jinyan did not respond.

Chu Ting was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "President Huo, haven't you already confirmed that Miss Lu isn't Z?"

There was finally a response from Huo Jinyan.

But it was just a simple word. "Yes."

"Then why are we still here? Aren't we going to find the real Z?"

Huo Jinyan finally looked up at him.

"He's still here."

Chu Ting understood what he meant.

"I know Z is still here, but President Huo, we've been circling around Miss Lu and haven't gained anything of use. Maybe Z isn't even by Miss Lu's side. After all, we haven't any new clues after so long.

"It's as though Z just disappeared into thin air. There hasn't been any news of him recently.

"Even your accident this time had nothing to do with Z.

"Don't tell me, he quit!"

Huo Jinyan's eyes were cold. "Even if he quit, he has to explain what happened before!"

Especially since I have to catch the people behind him!

Chu Ting nodded. "But President Huo, we won't be able to find him even if we keep circling around this place."

Chu Ting sighed. The more he spoke, the more agitated he became.

"President Huo, we even transferred our guards over. Surely it's not just to protect Miss Lu, right? Even if you like Miss Lu, you can't always be by her side. There are still many things to do in the capital. And the Old Master…"

"What did you say?"

Huo Jinyan suddenly glared at him.

Chu Ting felt as if someone had pointed a gun at the back of his head. He immediately sat up straight, and his voice unconsciously changed. "What did I say!?"

"…"
