The moment Lu Yan walked in, he clearly felt the same looks from two people, staring intently at him.
It was expected.
Lu Yan walked over, looking at the two of them calmly, and joked, "You two are quite in sync with your looks."
Yin Yiyan got angry and blurted out, "Lu Yan! What on earth do you mean by all this today?"
Gong Ming rubbed his long fingers, his eyes fixed on Lu Yan.
His intuition told him that Lu Yan had an ulterior motive.
He wasn't so conceited as to think that Lu Yan regarded him as a friend.
But at least he wouldn't let Ning Anmiao be disappointed.
Just then, the police officer in charge of the interrogation walked in and knocked on the door. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your arrangement. We were able to arrest Shi Jun."
Hearing this, except for Lu Yan, Yin Yiyan and Gong Ming were both stunned.
What did this mean?
The police officer smiled. "Shi Jun is suspected of crimes such as imprisoning women and intentional injury. It was Mr. Lu who designed this whole thing."
After all, Guangcheng was Shi Jun's territory. He had been hiding there for years. Even though the police wanted to take action, they had been unable to do so due to lack of evidence, and could only let him roam free.
This time when he came to Shanghai, he still couldn't resist his urges and started acting recklessly here.
Not only Yin Yiyan, but two days ago, Shi Jun had already attacked two women in Shanghai in a hotel.
A strong dragon can't subdue a local snake. With the joint efforts of Lu Yan and the police, they were finally able to eliminate this cancer.
It was a good thing.
"Then..." Yin Yiyan understood but still blinked worriedly. "Gong Ming hit him hard. Isn't that considered intentional injury?"
"Mr. Lu informed us in advance. Mr. Gong's actions fall under heroism and justifiable defense. He has no liability."
Hearing this, Yin Yiyan let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face softened unconsciously.
As long as the sickly guy didn't have to go to jail, it was fine.
...
After finishing the statements, the group finally left the police station. It was already very late.
Except for answering necessary questions, Gong Ming didn't say a single word throughout.
Ning Anmiao was fidgeting in the car. When she saw them coming out, she immediately rushed over, looking worried. "Yanyan, are you okay?"
Looking at Ning Anmiao, Yin Yiyan pursed her lips and forced a smile. She knew this whole thing had nothing to do with her. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Although she wasn't hurt, she was still frightened.
She had almost, almost really been in trouble.
...
The two of them got into the car. Lu Yan took a couple of steps when Gong Ming's voice came from behind faintly. "Lu Yan, let them go first."
His tone was unyielding.
Lu Yan had expected this. He walked over and told the driver a few words, then let the car take the two girls away.
The road in front of the police station was empty, desolate and quiet.
Gong Ming's eyes were as black as ink. "Lu Yan, I'm not a magnanimous person."
Even though the outcome of this incident was good, during the process, no one knew if there would be any accidents.
What if the calculation was wrong?
What if he couldn't get away at that time, or if there was a traffic jam on the way and he couldn't arrive in time? What would happen if Yin Yiyan really got into trouble?
He could take risks, but Yin Yiyan couldn't.
He wouldn't allow her to take risks!
Lu Yan turned around and slightly lifted his eyelids. "I'm helping you, Gong Ming."
Help?
Gong Ming was so angry that he laughed. He tightened his hands hanging by his sides and immediately rushed forward, punching Lu Yan in the cheek!
At that moment, the sound of the fist hitting the flesh was very clear.
Lu Yan didn't dodge.
He let out a muffled groan. Soon, a red and swollen mark appeared on his side face, but his expression remained calm.
Lu Yan said softly, "Do you blame me for scheming against her?"
Gong Ming closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His voice was still cold. "You know why I helped you before."
It was nothing more than wanting to see Yin Yiyan through his relationship with Ning Anmiao.
Gong Ming was an old fox and wouldn't be willing to be someone else's pawn for no reason.
But Yin Yiyan could make him submit.
Lu Yan straightened his body and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. He licked his back teeth with his tongue. "Everyone in the private room except Shi Jun was bribed by me."
In other words, there was no real risk in this whole thing.
There was no sharp weapon in the room. Those who seemed to be Shi Jun's men could rush up and overpower him at any time.
"I also recorded the video in the private room for you. This case will be made public on the Internet, and Yin Yiyan's mother will see it too."
Lu Yan glanced at him. "I heard from Miaomiao that Yin Yiyan's mother has been keeping a close eye on you recently. This time, it can be considered a help to you."
Gong Ming's eyes were calm, showing no sign of emotion.
He could guess that Lu Yan wouldn't let him be this "good guy" for no reason.
Although he had been helped, he really couldn't bring himself to be grateful.
"I owe you this time." Lu Yan paused and said in a steady voice. "One punch isn't enough. You can hit me again."
Gong Ming looked directly into his eyes.
"Why?"
He knew that Lu Yan wasn't a bad person, but he also wouldn't set up such a situation just to help him and invite Shi Jun in.
Lu Yan wasn't some kind - hearted citizen with the leisure to help the police catch bad guys.
Unless getting rid of Shi Jun was beneficial to him.
"Lin Chuluo is setting up a scheme. He foresaw that when Zhou Si returns to the Lin family, the old master of the Lin family might marginalize him. So he set up a stronghold in Guangcheng in advance."
Cutting off Shi Jun meant cutting off Lin Chuluo's retreat.
Lu Yan rubbed his temples. "If Lin Chuluo isn't eliminated, the next person to scheme against Yin Yiyan won't be me."
Lin Chuluo was used to attacking people's weak points.
Gong Ming glanced at him for two seconds and snorted. "Don't act so righteous. Ning Anmiao is your weak point, but Yin Yiyan isn't."
"But she is Miaomiao's weak point."
---
They thought this matter would come to an end, but a few days later, Yin Yiyan suddenly called Gong Ming.
"Are you free the day after tomorrow?" Yin Yiyan's voice sounded a bit coy.
Gong Ming held the phone, slightly raising his chin to signal the people in the room to leave. His voice was gentle. "I'm always free. Do you want to go on a date?"
He glanced at his recent schedule.
"... No." Yin Yiyan hesitated for a while before saying quietly. "My mom said she wants to talk to you."
Hearing this, Gong Ming was a bit caught off guard. "About what?"
"... What else? Of course, it's about us."
Yin Yiyan, who was usually bold and straightforward, seemed a bit shy at the moment. "My mom seems to have changed her opinion of you. She said she wants to invite you out for a meal the day after tomorrow and have a calm talk."
During this period, she had also been trying to make her mother change her opinion of Gong Ming.
First, she got definite evidence from Lu Yan to show that Gong Ming was clean now. Second, she kept calling her mother, coaxing her to show her stance and thoughts.
But it was still of no use.
