Since the Lu family was associated with the Inspection Institute, it wasn’t surprising they would participate in the fight with Yi Chu.

The statuses of these two together were certainly more powerful than Feng Loucheng. Furthermore, the Lu family alone carried a heavy weight. After a long while, the man who had stopped them turned sideways and said with a gloomy expression, “Let them go.”

Pan Mingyue walked in front with Lu Zhaoying, talking to Section Chief Jiang. “What evidence do they have?”

“Accepting bribes.” Section Chief Jiang briefly went through the details. “Inspector Feng is also handling it.”

Pan Mingyue nodded and pondered for a while.

Section Chief Jiang turned to Lu Zhaoying and wasn’t too polite with him because of his friendship with Pan Mingyue.

But with Lu Zhaoying’s identity, he only said simply, “Young Master Lu, if there’s anything in the future, it’ll be my duty to help.”

Madam Feng and Feng Ci followed behind them. Feng Ci didn’t understand the context of this incident and didn’t know how much effort it had taken to get them out safely.

“We’ll leave first. Go find Inspector Feng first, we’ll take over and handle the rest of the matters with him.” Lu Zhaoying didn’t really want to see Feng Ci. He gave Pan Mingyue a simple glance, and his tone of voice improved a little upon seeing her calm expression. “We just came back from the neighboring city.”

Section Chief Jiang watched Lu Zhaoying leave without daring to say anything.

Usually, he would ask Pan Mingyue about her relationship with Lu Zhaoying, but he was still in a daze now.

After they had left, Madam Feng slowly returned to her senses.

She turned to Section Chief Jiang. “Who was that black-clothed young man…”

Where was he from?

How did he bring them out so easily?

Section Chief Jiang looked away. “That was Young Master Lu from the Lu family.”

He didn’t say more.

Madam Feng opened her mouth and wanted to ask how Pan Mingyue knew him, but she couldn’t find the right words. “You also know Mingyue?” she asked Section Chief Jiang.

She knew that Section Chief Jiang was now Feng Loucheng’s teammate in the Inspection Institute and hence respected him, especially because of Feng Loucheng’s incident a while back.

“You mean Mingyue? Because of Inspector Feng’s incident, she’s temporarily acting as the deputy.” At the mention of her, Section Chief Jiang inexplicably felt proud, as if she was his own daughter. “If she hadn’t found the information in advance, Inspector Feng might have met his waterloo.”

Completely stunned, Madam Feng turned to look at Feng Ci, and somehow managed to utter, “Oh, I see…”

Feng Ci didn’t speak, nor did he withdraw his gaze.

…

On the other side.

Lu Zhaoying took Pan Mingyue to the outskirts of the city, and they went to visit Sixth Bro’s widow together.

Sixth Bro’s son was more than two months old now, and only Lu Zhaoying had come to see him. The others didn’t dare to come, for fear that their family would be implicated.

This was also the first time Pan Mingyue visited him.

The child didn’t understand anything and loved smiling. He would laugh whenever Lu Zhaoying teased him.

“Xiao Lu, you always bring so many things.” The child’s grandma shook her head, a smile on her old wrinkly face. “You even said you’ll be his godpa. You’re really fated, he smiles whenever he sees you.”

While Lu Zhaoying teased the child, Pan Mingyue sat aside and listened to the grandma. Lu Zhaoying would change the gas tank for her every time he came.

Pan Mingyue listened on and glanced at him, smiling. “He has always been a good man.”

When Qin Ran went abroad last time, Lu Zhaoying would send her daily necessities every quarter. Pan Mingyue and Qin Ran had always been very similar in their casual lifestyle and were both satisfied to just get by. Other than Qin Ran, only Lu Zhaoying and the others never asked her why she wanted suppressing drugs.

Those filthy and inferior pasts that she had wanted to hide from Feng Ci now seemed like nothing in Lu Zhaoying’s place.

“I’ll send you to Xiao Ran’s first.” After they returned, Lu Zhaoying turned the steering wheel and said, “She’s going to be impatient.”

Leaning against the window, Pan Mingyue nodded, seeming to be lost in thoughts.

Lu Zhaoying glanced at her curiously, surprised that she was exceptionally quiet today.

But at the thought of how she had met Feng Ci today, he also turned silent.

When the car reached Ting Lan, he said in a low muffled voice, “We’re here.”

He got out of the car, opened the door, and followed Pan Mingyue in silence. Usually rather talkative, he was rarely quiet today and watched her enter the elevator before he turned and left.

Pan Mingyue raised her hand and returned to her senses. She was about to say something to him when she realized he had already left.

She waved to Lu Zhaoying’s back and pressed the elevator floor.

When she went in, Cheng Mu was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, making gestures to Cheng Ziyu. Cheng Jin closed the door and explained, “He’s teaching the Young Master science.”

“Look at this, what is it? Young Master, do you remember?” Cheng Mu held up a picture and asked.

Cheng Ziyu raised his head, glanced at him, and then looked down again.

Cheng Mu inexplicably felt like he was being looked down on and turned to Cheng Jin instead. “Brother…”

Ignoring him, Cheng Jin walked over to Cheng Juan.

“You and Lu Zhaoying re-established the special training model?” Cheng Juan put down the book in his hand and motioned Pan Mingyue to sit down opposite him.

Qin Ran was away, and Pan Mingyue was still a little terrified of Cheng Juan, so she responded softly.

Cheng Juan leaned on the sofa and slightly tilted his head. He tapped his phone with his slender fingertips and was silent for a while. “Then go to the first district tomorrow. As for Yi Chu, you don’t have to worry.”

Pan Mingyue was immediately relieved to hear this.

After all, there was nothing that Qin Ran and Cheng Juan couldn’t do.

Cheng Jin stayed silent at the side…

Yi Chu was probably about to cry…
