Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 121 Bottom Line
Lu Jingming's gentleness was a charm that only she could appreciate.

How could she not be moved? And how could she bear to deceive him and keep it from him?
However, she must abide by the confidentiality agreement until the case of the evil consequences is completely settled.

Although the scattered and disorganized forces of the past are unlikely to pose a devastating threat to the international community, the FBI has its own set of operating procedures.

Wei Qingsong curled her lips, her mood instantly sinking.

Seeing this, Lu Jingming once again backed down and compromised, saying softly, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. You can do whatever you want with this matter. I won't interfere. Everything will be based on your wishes."

He thought Wei Qingsong was unhappy because of his talkativeness.

Wei Qingsong felt even more bittersweet. She raised her bright eyes and looked directly at him: "That's not what I meant. I just feel that you're too good to me."

She felt so guilty that she couldn't bear it anymore.

For her sake, he made concessions time and time again, tolerating her without any limits, and even indulging her.

She even wondered what she had done to deserve such deep affection from Lu Jingming.

Wei Qingsong secretly gripped the hem of her clothes.

One day, when all that filth and darkness has been exposed, she will tell him everything in her own words.

Lu Jingming smiled slightly and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear: "Being good to you is something I do willingly, so you don't need to feel any burden."

He admitted that he was indeed afraid, afraid that she would leave again.

So he wanted to do everything he could to be good to her, hoping that this would keep her by his side for a long time.

Outsiders say he is cold-hearted and lacks emotion, but that's not true. He is just influenced by Wen Manqing and Lu Changbai and is unwilling to fall in love easily.

It was Wei Qingsong who taught him what love is. From the moment he fell in love with her, he was willing to submit to her year after year.

Even if she stands still, he will walk the remaining hundred steps, two hundred steps, or any number of steps.

As long as she is still there, and he doesn't go anywhere else, he will convince himself countless times to walk towards her again.

Bottom line? He had no bottom line in front of Wei Qingsong.

The two were being all lovey-dovey, and Chen Jin was also being affectionate with Li Yanran. Suddenly, the other single police officers present felt that the hotpot in their mouths no longer tasted so good.

They should have expected this scenario. What were they thinking, that they actually went to this "Feast at Hongmen"?

Whether unintentionally or intentionally, a police officer shouted, "Captain Lu, Advisor Wei, stop talking and eat! The potatoes in the pot are almost overcooked."

After saying that, he enthusiastically picked up a strainer, scooped up a large spoonful, and handed it to Lu Jingming.

The people around him stared at him in awe.

Such a subtle and unobtrusive way of interrupting a young couple's sweet talk—a true role model for us all!
Lu Jingming's expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly: "Okay."

After a joyful exchange of toasts, the dinner party came to an end.

At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Lu Jingming methodically made arrangements: "You've all had drinks, so I've called a car for you. They'll be here shortly."

Lu Jingming used to be as cold and aloof as an AI robot, so he would never have made such thoughtful and considerate arrangements. The criminal police officers were all flattered.

Someone asked, "And what about you, Captain Lu?"

Suddenly, someone patted him on the head.

How can you be so blind?
Wei Qingsong smiled and shook the car keys in his hand: "I drank cola, not alcohol. With me here, I won't lose your Captain Lu. You can rest assured."

The black sports car was parked in the parking space next to the hot pot restaurant. The two got in the car, fastened their seat belts, and slowly drove into the night.

The moonlight outside the window was hazy. Lu Jingming suddenly said, "By the way, I'm taking a day off tomorrow. You can also get some rest. You've been traveling around with me these past few days. It must have been hard on you."

Wei Qingsong thought for a moment and asked, "So what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"From what you're saying, you want to make arrangements for me?" Lu Jingming's lips curled up slightly, his smile spreading, his voice deep and melodious. "I will completely follow Songsong's arrangements."

Wei Qingsong couldn't help but laugh, his eyes and brows full of smiles.

She explained her plan: "Well, I promised Jiang Yinian that I would visit Uncle Yin and Aunt Qin often, right? I've been delayed by the poisoning case these past few days and haven't had time to go. Since we're free tomorrow, let's go visit them together?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Jingming readily agreed: "Okay, what time tomorrow? I'll pick you up."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Qingsong decided, "Let's go this afternoon. It's not easy to have time to sleep in, and I want to catch up on all the sleep I've missed."

"Little lazy cat." Lu Jingming chuckled.

"whee."

After saying goodbye to Lu Jingming, it was not yet eight o'clock. Wei Qingsong thought for a moment and dragged out a number from the blacklist.

Edit the text message and send it.

"Do you have time now? Let's meet up."

She received three consecutive text messages in response.

"!!!!!!"

"I have it! I have so much!"

Where are you? I'm coming right now!

In contrast, Wei Qingsong was calm to the point of being indifferent. She opened a Dianping (a Chinese review platform) website, found a relatively private coffee shop nearby, and sent the location to Alice.

In less than fifteen minutes, Alice appeared, beaming with joy.

Her striking mixed-race appearance attracted the attention of many people in the coffee shop.

She sat down at the booth opposite her, revealing a cute smile that was completely at odds with her cool exterior: "S, it's rare that you actually asked me out."

Wei Qingsong's expression remained calm and unwavering: "I have now reverted to my original name, so you are free to call me by a different name."

"Eh." Alice paused for a moment, then relented, "Okay, Song, you must have called me about Yan Zhi, right?"

Mentioning this, she rubbed her stray hairs with a troubled expression: "You have no idea, we've been following Yan Zhi for so long, and he was almost about to give himself away, but for some reason, he hasn't been showing his face lately. We can't just barge into Bailiwan."

Wei Qingsong stirred the coffee in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly: "It seems that Yan Jiqian has stepped in to protect him again."

Six years ago, Yan Jiqian almost gave up on Yan Zhi, just a hair's breadth away...

Otherwise, Yan Zhi should be in Satan prison right now.

"What a cunning old fox," Alice said indignantly.

Wei Qingsong nodded in deep agreement.

Yan Jiqian's cultivation level is at least that of an old fox who has cultivated for a thousand years.

She took a sip of coffee, the bitterness of the Americano bursting on her tongue, quickly calming her down: "Yan Zhi can't hide forever. Besides, he can run away but he can't hide forever. Although the Nanxun Club has been shut down, he still has other businesses under his name, most of which are involved in entertainment. It would be easy for him to take advantage of the chaos to investigate."

“That makes sense,” Alice wholeheartedly agreed.

She never doubted Wei Qingsong's intelligence.

This seemingly frail Chinese girl's story is known to everyone in the ICPO.
