Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 25 Shake
When Ye Chen inadvertently revealed the name "Nanxun Street," coupled with Wei Qingsong's subsequent unusual reaction, Lu Jingming keenly became suspicious.

Old Liu, the archive administrator, was Lu Changbai's former subordinate and had watched Lu Jingming grow up. Therefore, he naturally did his best to help Lu Jingming with his secret request.

Old Liu turned the city bureau's files upside down, trying to find information about Nanxun Street.

However, little was gained.

Nanxun Street is a well-known ancient town in Tangzhou. It is said that this ancient town has existed for thousands of years, and civilization and simplicity are its hallmarks.

Tangzhou City attaches great importance to the promotion and development of its cultural image, so it also maintains strict security management in Nanxun Street, where disorderly conduct is rare.

Let alone major cases, even petty theft is rare.

Therefore, there are no case records related to Nanxun Street in the municipal bureau's archives.

If Lu Jingming had previously wavered on the conjecture that "something must have happened on Nanxun Street," then after a brief conversation with Director Wang, he became certain of this conjecture.

The more this was the case, the more absurd and unruly it seemed to him.

If such a heinous incident really happened in the back alley of Nanxun Street, why has no news of it spread to the outside world?
Why would the entire Tangzhou Public Security Bureau endorse and foot the bill for it?

Why involve an innocent person like Wei Qingsong?
Although Lu Jingming had not systematically studied psychology, even an ordinary person could sense something unusual in Wei Qingsong's reaction when he heard "back alley of Nanxun Street" that day.

He desperately wanted to know what Wei Qingsong had done six years ago to make the difficult decision to leave him.

Was she acting voluntarily or under duress?
Six years later, when they met again, their long-frozen hearts seemed to be gradually thawing.

He developed a series of conjectures and kept telling himself that he just wanted to know the truth.

However, he didn't realize that he was subconsciously looking for a legitimate reason for Wei Qingsong's departure.

the other side.

Wei Qingsong dragged her tired body and planned to hail a taxi on the roadside to go back to her apartment.

The Wei family's former residence was sold after the family moved abroad.

The apartment was newly purchased by Wei Qingsong after returning to China. It was only three subway stops away from the Tangzhou Municipal Bureau. The Line 1 subway was always packed, especially during the morning, noon and evening rush hours. The carriages were so crowded that there was hardly any room to stand.

Wei Qingsong didn't like the crowded experience, so after buying the apartment, she thought it over and over again and still picked up the black Ferrari sports car.

It's somewhat funny, but when they lived in Tangzhou, Wei's father's company business declined year after year.

Although Wei Qingsong came from a wealthy family, he had never been so extravagant before.

When she was in school, she was like a princess among her peers, but that was only because she attended public schools.

If she had started attending a private international school like Yan Zhi and Yan Yun from that time on, she might have been able to directly experience the difference and understand what it means to be outdone by others.

Back then, under pressure from Bai Liwan, Mr. and Mrs. Wei had no choice but to leave Tangzhou and move the company overseas. Unexpectedly, the business flourished. Now, the assets of Lansong Group have increased many times over compared to six years ago.

This unexpected joy was something no one had anticipated.

Forced by circumstances, she and her adoptive parents went to a foreign country, enduring the torment of being far from their homeland. In the end, their luck finally turned around, and their suffering was over.

Whether in the past or present, Wei Sihua has always been good to her, giving her the greatest satisfaction both materially and spiritually.

To be able to challenge absolute power requires comparable strength. The Wei family's turnaround against all odds, to a large extent, gave Wei Qingsong the courage to return to the country.

Wei Qingsong had once been confused and amazed by Bai Liwan's immense wealth and power, but he had never wavered.

In her heart, Wei Sihua and Yun Peilan will always be her parents.

Tangzhou City Bureau is located in the city center, a bustling and lively area with heavy traffic and pedestrians.

Most taxis passing by this road are full of passengers, probably because there is a well-known shopping mall not far ahead.

Wei Qingsong's legs were numb from standing, and he still hadn't been able to hail a taxi.

She sighed and decided to walk a little further to the mall entrance to hail a taxi.

As soon as she took a step, a black Porsche pulled up beside her.

The car window slowly rolled down, and the man's sharp, narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her as if scrutinizing a suspect: "Did you really make me come to find you in person?"

The man was dressed in a high-end custom-made white suit, his gaze was cold, and he exuded the aloofness of someone who had long held a position of power.

His coldness was different from Lu Jingming's indifference and aloofness.

Although Lu Jingming always kept people at arm's length with indifference, he was actually full of enthusiasm and was not a heartless person.

The man before her, however, seemed to have his indifference etched into his very bones, his blood melting with arrogance. It was a coldness that looked down upon the world and all living beings, carrying a condescending disdain.

Wei Qingsong frowned deeply.

After blocking Yan Yun's phone number, she knew that this action would definitely anger Yan Zhi, since Yan Yun was his most cherished younger sister.

What she didn't expect was that someone as arrogant as Yan Zhi would actually condescend to come to the Municipal Bureau to intercept her.

He is the young master Yan of Bailiwan. With a single command, countless people would rush to serve him.

Wei Qingsong remained silent, standing a few steps away, watching him with a detached expression.

They share the same blood, yet they are worse off than strangers.

Even if one day her hatred for the Yan family fades with time, she will never have anything to do with them.

She felt ashamed.

Sometimes, she even wanted to change all that dirty blood off her body.

Back then, the Yan family held themselves in high esteem and believed that she was not worthy of their noble bloodline.

Little did they know, Wei Qingsong disdained to associate with them.

Wei Qingsong's silence made Yan Zhi frown deeply.

His handsome yet slightly effeminate face was somewhat gloomy.

"Get in the car, let's talk."

Wei Qingsong stared calmly at him: "Young Master Yan, I think we have nothing to talk about."

After saying that, she turned to leave, not wanting to waste any more time with him.

Before she had gone far, the man who had caught up with her grabbed her and shoved her away, sending her crashing into a lamppost by the roadside. A dull pain shot through her instantly.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and Wei Qingsong glared at him angrily: "Yan Zhi, are you crazy? In broad daylight, are you trying to kidnap me?"

Looking at her angry face, a complex expression flashed across her sinister face.

He remained silent, staring at Wei Qingsong for a long time before saying, "Come back to Bailiwan with me. Your parents want to see you."

“Return? Watch your words.” Wei Qingsong wasn’t buying it. A mocking smile played on her lips as she sneered, “Bai Liwan has never been my home. How can you use that word?”

"I'm not here to play word games with you. You should know the price of angering me."

Wei Qingsong clenched her teeth as painful memories flooded her mind.

Yes, she knew Yan Zhi's methods all too well.

He is a complete scumbag.

Honey, I'm so sorry. I got back to the hotel at nine o'clock yesterday. I was planning to rest for a bit before writing an update, but I was so tired that I fell asleep while lying down. When I woke up, it was already 3:30 in the morning.

I only slept for two or three hours yesterday. I was still preparing at 2 a.m. the night before, and I got up at 5:30 a.m. to do my makeup and then go to pick up the bride. My roommate had a Western-style wedding, and the ceremony was held outdoors at noon under the scorching sun in Chongqing. I was exhausted, but it was a bittersweet experience. Seeing my roommate find happiness made me genuinely happy for her.

I also hope that my readers will always be happy and joyful.

I'm taking the high-speed train home this afternoon, and I'll try to update as often as possible.
