Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 174 Profile
Lu Jingming knew only the tip of the iceberg regarding Mu An and the disastrous consequences.

Wei Qingsong thought that after testing the Yan family's bottom line this time, Interpol would probably look for opportunities to take further action against Yan Zhi.

Due to the special nature of this international case, they will definitely cooperate with the Tangzhou police. At that time, it will also be the best opportunity for her to confess to Lu Jingming.

It would not violate the FBI's ban, and it would allow me to tell all the things that had been weighing on my mind for so long.

Regardless of how Lu Jingming reacts after learning the truth, she accepts it.

As for Mu An, she and Lu Jingming had already agreed that the investigation into Mu An would be conducted in secret for the time being, so Lu Jingming would definitely not mention this matter in front of Lu Jinghuan.

Moreover, Lu Jingming is not the type of person who brings work-related matters home.

He rarely even went back to the Lu family home. Among the entire Lu family, he was only somewhat close to Lu Jinghuan, his half-sister, but they weren't close enough to talk about anything.

However, Lu Jinghuan's words just now were very confident, as if she knew many unknown inside stories, which is why she said with certainty that she was the one who dragged Lu Jingming into the "whirlpool".

Otherwise, according to ordinary people's thinking, they would never blame her for the accident at Liyang Hotel.

Thinking about this, Wei Qingsong became somewhat curious about what Lu Jinghuan meant by "whirlpool".
How much does she actually know? And how did she find out?

Suddenly, Wei Qingsong remembered something.

Not long ago, Alice mentioned to her that someone was secretly investigating her.

At the time, she wondered if Ye Chen was behind it all, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

Now it seems...

A sudden gust of wind rushed in from the open window at the end of the corridor, causing the hems of their clothes to flutter.

Wei Qingsong lowered her eyes slightly, backlit by the skylight, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

Lu Jinghuan felt inexplicably flustered, gripped the hem of her clothes, and turned to leave.

But Wei Qingsong grabbed her wrist, and her clear voice rang out behind her: "Since you already know, you should understand not to provoke me."

Perhaps provoked by her words, Lu Jinghuan's face flushed slightly, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Wei Qingsong, are you threatening me now? I'm not easily scared! My brother probably doesn't know your background yet, right? If I tell him all the shady things you've done, do you think he'll cut ties with you?"

Hearing this, Wei Qingsong could roughly guess how much Lu Jinghuan actually knew.

Her gaze darkened inch by inch, and she released her wrist.

She certainly wouldn't threaten Lu Jinghuan; her words just now were merely a simple test.

Seeing her remain silent, Lu Jinghuan seemed to regain her confidence, and her tone suddenly rose: "I don't know why you're trying to get close to my brother this time, but now that I know about you, I won't give you the chance to get close to him and hurt him again!"

She had witnessed firsthand how dejected Lu Jingming became after Wei Qingsong left.

Her most admired brother had already been ruined once, and she absolutely could not watch Lu Jingming repeat the same mistake.

Wei Qingsong's gaze sharpened slightly, and she let out a short sigh: "Jing Huan, in your heart, am I such a despicable person?"

"Isn't that right?" Lu Jinghuan retorted with a cold laugh, his eyes revealing undisguised sarcasm. "Wei Qingsong, don't pretend to be innocent. You've clearly hurt others, yet you're so self-righteous. Does someone like you not know the meaning of shame?"

"What happened back then..."

Wei Qingsong frowned, trying to explain, but Lu Jinghuan interrupted him coldly: "Don't bring up the past again. Let me tell you, the thing I regret most is that I trusted you wholeheartedly back then!"

"You're a jinx, you only bring misfortune to others! Look, you've even gotten my brother into the operating room, what are you still standing here for? Get out of here, you're not welcome!"

Lu Jinghuan was extremely agitated, staring intently at Wei Qingsong as if she were seeing an irreconcilable enemy.

Every word and phrase was like a knife piercing the heart, mercilessly stabbing at Wei Qingsong.

Wei Qingsong pursed her lips tightly. After many years apart, Lu Jinghuan's personality was quite different from what she remembered.

The Lu Jinghuan of the past was nowhere near as extreme as she is now.

Perhaps it was because of her broken promise that Lu Jinghuan's dreams were shattered, which led to Lu Jinghuan's extreme attitude towards her today.

Ultimately, she broke her promise first, so she has no right to feel wronged.

She owes Lu Jinghuan and the Lu siblings a debt; she deserves to accept all of Lu Jinghuan's negative emotions.

Wei Qingsong let out a deep breath and said calmly, "Your brother's injury is on his shoulder. After the wound is stitched up, he can't do any strenuous activities. I can stay and take care of him."

Unsurprisingly, Lu Jinghuan refused her without hesitation: "No need. I'm his sister, I'll take good care of him. I've already taken leave, and I'll stay at the hospital to take care of my brother for the next few days. My parents are on their way. You're an outsider, so you should leave now."

After saying that, she glared at Wei Qingsong fiercely with her eyes wide open again, then tilted her head back, brushed past Wei Qingsong's shoulder, and strode away.

Wei Qingsong's feelings were complicated.

Lu Jinghuan has already said so much; if she insists on staying, it will only cause more trouble.

She turned and stared at Lu Jinghuan's departing figure for a long time before turning her gaze away, pursing her lips, and walking out of the hospital.

Time really can change a person.

The Lu Jinghuan of the past was innocent, kind-hearted, and would never utter a single harsh word.

But time heals all wounds, and Wei Qingsong believed that as long as she was determined, she would eventually heal the psychological trauma she had caused Lu Jinghuan.

What has already happened cannot be changed, so try your best to make amends.

There will be a way; things won't get any worse than they are now.

The weather in Tangzhou is unpredictable. When I arrived, the sky was clear and sunny, but when I left the hospital, the sky was overcast and it seemed like a downpour was imminent.

Wei Qingsong frowned. In that moment of distraction, a tall and handsome man rushed in through the glass door, nearly bumping into her.

"Excuse me." The man quickly apologized after nearly bumping into someone.

"It's alright." Wei Qingsong turned around, saw the man's familiar face, paused slightly, and carefully examined him for a while before recognizing him, "Mr. Duan?"

Duan Wenlan was momentarily confused, but quickly remembered: "Ah, you're Ming-ge's girlfriend, right? Huanhuan said Ming-ge was injured. How is he now?"

"The injury isn't serious. Jing Huan is watching over me, so I'll be fine," Wei Qingsong replied with a faint smile.

Duan Wenlan breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "That's good. I'm really sorry about what happened that day. Huanhuan has a bad temper. Although I don't know what the grudge was between you, please don't hold it against her."

Wei Qingsong politely smiled back: "Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart anyway."

If we're being honest, it was she who ruined Lu Jinghuan's birthday party, and she's the one who should feel sorry.

"Regardless, I still have to apologize to you on her behalf." Duan Wenlan said, bowing slightly, appearing polite and humble.

After saying that, he glanced down at his watch, pointed to the elevator, and said, "Well then, I'll go find Huanhuan first. Once Ming is fully recovered and discharged from the hospital, I'll treat you two to a meal. You must do me the honor of joining me then."

"Okay." Wei Qingsong nodded calmly and watched Duan Wenlan turn away.

The moment he turned around, his familiar profile instantly struck Wei Qingsong's nerves.

She remembered; she had seen this profile face somewhere else before.

Happy Children's Day! I'll try my best to update one chapter every day this month.
