Qin Ran’s affairs had made a lot of noise in that freshman year.

Later on, all kinds of things had happened, and Qin Ran’s military training incident had decreased in popularity. However, Old Zhang remembered Lu Zhaoying telling him about her.

After all, Lu Zhaoying had boasted about Qin Ran to many people.

In the past two years, Old Zhang and Lu Zhaoying had gone through life and death matters, and he was also his confidant. He had gone to the Lu family to help Lu Zhaoying and had even tracked and protected Pan Mingyue for him before. He had a fair understanding of Lu Zhaoying and the Lu family’s situation.

He had also talked with the five Cheng brothers before.

Now, he suddenly remembered that he had heard of Miss Qin’s matters before and that she had been the one to teach Cheng Mu.

Counting further, Pan Mingyue hadn’t caused a big wave at the beginning because someone had been more impressive than her. Normal people would think this was impossible, but…

That girl really wasn’t normal.

“Old Zhang, who on earth is it?” The two chiefs were very curious.

Old Zhang was silent for a while, then he said simply, “The woman who beat Continent M’s thugs to the ground.”

…

Lu Zhaoying returned to his resting room.

Mother Lu happened to call at that moment. He glanced at Pan Mingyue, who was on the computer editing photos, and went outside with his phone.

“You haven’t called me recently.” Since Lu Zhaoying started this business, Mother Lu had been on pins and needles, especially the last time when he had been in a coma. Mother Lu had fainted upon hearing the news, and Cheng Juan had personally called to report Lu Zhaoying’s safety to reassure her.

With the sun shining brightly above his head, Lu Zhaoying pressed his cap down, walked under a tree, and was too lazy to move. “I was working overtime last night.”

“Are you so busy? If you can’t handle it, just come back to the Lu family,” Mother Lu said. “Everyone here is thinking of you.”

Lu Zhaoying habitually touched his ears and smiled. “Maybe next time.”

Mother Lu didn’t continue to entangle with this matter. She took a cup of tea, cleared her throat, and said after a slight pause, “I just… I heard from someone that there’s a girl with you?”

Lu Zhaoying thought about it and knew that one of the brothers from the club that night had probably informed her.

They probably hadn’t dared to say much, including revealing Pan Mingyue’s name. After all, those people loved to play, so Lu Zhaoying hadn’t introduced Pan Mingyue to them.

Mother Lu was a little displeased at his silence. “You’re behaving like a… bastard.”

“It’s Mingyue,” Lu Zhaoying thought for a while and finally said.

Mother Lu was shocked for a while before she said in astonishment, “Do you have any plans?”

Glancing at the door, Lu Zhaoying said, “Don’t worry about it. I’m hanging up, bye.”

He hung up before Mother Lu had time to make a fuss.

In Beijing, Mother Lu glanced apologetically at the person in front of her. “Auntie, you know this child, he doesn’t listen to me much.”

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, “No, it’s alright. I only came to pass you the word.”

Smiling, Mother Lu sent the middle-aged woman out.

According to Lu Zhaoying’s current status, no one in the Lu family could touch him.

Lu Zhaoying was nearly 30 years old and was still single, so several people were eyeing him, especially those from the Lu family. Naturally, she also hoped that he would marry an appropriate match, whose status would be good for everyone.

After hearing about the unclear relationship between Lu Zhaoying and a strange woman, the Lu family members had eagerly come to Mother Lu to find out the news.

Mother Lu stood at the door and watched the middle-aged woman leave. Raising an eyebrow, she picked up her phone again and called Lu Zhaoying again.

Lu Zhaoying had yet to enter the door. “Mom…”

“You finally have this opportunity, if you still can’t handle it, you’d have wasted all the good words I put in for you before! You must work harder!” Mother Lu said irritably.

“I…” Lu Zhaoying was about to say something.

Mother Lu didn’t even wait for him to reply. “Don’t tell me, go and say it to Mingyue. Your words just make me angry!”

Without waiting for a reply, she hung up with a “pop”.

Lu Zhaoying stared at his phone for a long time, only to remember that his mother had the same temper as Qin Ran. Touching his nose, he sniffed and walked back inside.

Pan Mingyue was still editing photos.

“I plan to organize these photos later,” said Pan Mingyue in an unbelievably pleasant voice when she heard his return. She continued adjusting the software library without looking up.

Lu Zhaoying took a look and still couldn’t understand the difference between the pictures. He just thought it already looked very pleasing to the eye. “Do you want Sister Chen to help you?”

Pan Mingyue smiled. “No need. These should be secrets, I’ll keep it for my own appreciation.”

“Okay, then. It’s up to you.” Lu Zhaoying went to get a cup to pour water.

Pan Mingyue saved the photos and looked back at him.

She was in a daze. For so many years, no one except Qin Ran and Song Luting knew that her original wish was to be a photographer, not an inspector.

When she saw the camera today, she had indeed felt an inexplicable wave of emotions.

…

In the afternoon.

Lu Zhaoying went to inspect as usual. Pan Mingyue was also worried about the effect of her arrangement in the assault team, so she took her computer and continued editing photos while watching them.

Old Zhang followed her all the way.

So did the two chiefs.

The instructor of the first assault team realized that Pan Mingyue was very easygoing and gentle, so he approached her for shooting advice.

Old Zhang and the two chiefs stood looking at the computer.

“You were talking about the underground boxing arena…” The two chiefs began.

Suddenly, a dialog box with black text popped up on the computer page—

Tell Lu Zhaoying to call me.
