A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

On their way back to the ward, Lu Boyan received a call.

After hanging up, he asked Su Jianan, “You know Tan Meng?”

Lu Boyan knew Su Jianan’s social circle and that only Luo Xiaoxi was close to Su Jianan. He didn’t even hear about someone named Tan Meng from Su Jianan.

However, Su Jianan readily recalled her. “I know her. What?”

Lu Boyan frowned. “You two have some history?”

“History?” Su Jianan widened her eyes in disbelief. “How come? She’ my classmate when I studied management in College A. We’ve only met a few times and weren’t really friends. How would we have a history?”

Lu Boyan’s face grew cold. “She posted all the things about you on the Internet.”

Su Jianan was dumbfounded. “Why did she?”

“I’ve got nothing to do… with her,” said she, “it’s just that when we’re in college, Tan Meng had a crush on Jiang Shaokai and chased after him. The entire school knew about it, so I remembered her too. But, we’d got nothing in common. Why would she want to post something to lash out at me?”

Lu Boyan had figured it out and shook his head helplessly. “You’re lucky to have married me.”

She was so stupid and if she married someone else, she wouldn’t have known it even if others bullied her.

“…” Su Jianan blinked her big eyes to know that she was innocent and really knew nothing about it.

After an investigation, Lu Boyan’s speculation was proved right. In college, Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai had been too intimate and gave Tan Meng the impression that Jiang Shaokai had been refusing her because of Su Jianan. Thus, she had hard feelings toward Su Jianan since then. Recently, when she knew Su Jianan had become a murder suspect, she decided to post something on the Internet to smear her.

Lu Boyan had an assistant see to it and soon, Tan Meng stopped her posting.

However, it was not easy to remove the posts from all the Internet news portals.

The second day, several news media reported about Su Jianan being in the hospital. The netizens not only accused of the police department’s power abusing, but also Lu Boyan’s taking advantage of the loopholes in law with his mogul position and had joined to boycott Lu Enterprises.

Lu Enterprises had been severely affected in the stock market, and in the afternoon, the shareholders had convened an emergency meeting.

“If Miss Su is convicted, Boyan, you’ll have to have the divorce papers ready right away!” The shareholders all snapped. “Otherwise, the company will be dragged down by this!”

“I can’t say for sure if she’s a murderer or not.” Lu Boyan stood up coldly. “But I’ll handle the matter in three days.”

He left without so much as a backward glance, leaving a bunch of anxious shareholders in a heated discussion.

Following Lu Boyan, Shen Yuechuan followed with his brows knitted. “We still can’t find those junkies Jianan mentioned. I doubt if things are really what they seem.”

The slim Lu Boyan collapsed on the dark office chair and rubbed his temple. “… Call Mu Qi.”

Though his camp was based in City G, he could even touch City A’s grey area if he wanted. If he acted, it would be easier for them to find those junkies.

However, the world only thought Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were ordinary friends.

Shen Yuechuan answered awkwardly, “If Mu Qi helps you, some people will suspect you. Once Lu Enterprises gets involved with Mu Qi, we’ll forever be part of it.”

Lu Boyan dark eyes looked calm. “Kang Ruicheng know the relationship between Mu Qi and me. If he wants to destroy Lu Enterprises and snatch Mu Qi’s territory, he will finally try to link us together to drag down Lu Enterprises.”

Though Mu Sijue didn’t play any role in Lu Enterprises’s business, Mu Sijue’s identity would cast a grey shadow above the white Lu Enterprises. It would somehow endanger Lu Enterprises.

Therefore, sooner or later, someone would reveal Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue’s relationship.

Shen Yuechuan gritted his teeth. “Alright.”

Before he called Mu Sijue, the secretary hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. “Boss Lu, a man called Kang Rui… argh…”

Someone pushed the secretary away from behind before she finished. Kang Ruicheng in a black coat, appeared in the office, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Shen Yuechuan signaled at the secretary to leave.

Kang Ruicheng scanned Lu Boyan’s office. “Good for you. Surviving 14 years ago, you’ve climbed so high today. I almost regret not having killed you too under my car.”

Lu Boyan sneered. “You came all the way to confess your sins?”

Kang Ruicheng’s smile froze but he soon collected himself. “A piece of advice. Stop your investigation and go find Chen Xuanxuan.”

He was talking about Su Jianan’s murder case.

Lu Boyan threw a meaningful look at Shen Yuechuan and the latter immediately understood. He left the office to check on Chen Xuanxuan.

“What do you want?”

Lu Boyan didn’t believe that Kang Ruicheng would help him for no reason.

“Of course I want something you treasure, your wife.” Kang Ruicheng sat cross-legged on the sofa. The hem of his coat dangled from the sofa, like the demon’s wings. “How can I steal her when she’s still a suspect?”

A hint of sarcasm escaped from the corner of Lu Boyan’s lips. “Can you dream while you’re still awake, Mr. Kang?”

“We can wait to see if I’m dreaming or it’s really happening, Lu Boyan.” Kang Ruicheng put out the cigarette and stared at Lu Boyan with his poisonous eyes. “This time, you won’t be lucky like 14 years ago. Oh, and I was just a little interested in Su Jianan, but got a lot more interested in her since I knew she’s your woman.”

A layer of frost seemed to cover Lu Boyan’s handsome face and his eyes were as sharp as the edge of a knife. Seeing him like this, Kang Ruicheng smiled, satisfied.

When he walked into the room, Lu Boyan had stayed calm. However, when he mentioned Su Jianan, some evident emotion finally registered on Lu Boyan’s face.

As expected, Su Jianan was his biggest weakness.

Kang Ruicheng left in satisfaction.

After one hour, Shen Yuechuan hurried in. “I’ve got Chen Xuanxuan’s location now.”

After Chen Family’s fall, only Chen Xuanxuan stubbornly stayed at City A. She had been following an influential local gangster in the northern part of the city, and become “the big brother’s woman” in the eyes of those minions.

During the time when Su Jianan was on a work trip in City Z and almost got trapped in the mountain, Chen Xuanxuan and Su Yuanyuan had been in touch. However, recently, they did not see each other anymore. This was why the police couldn’t find Chen Xuanxuan in Su Yuanyuan’s call logs.

However, they could confirm that Chen Xuanxuan led Su Yuanyuan to drugs and even introduced many minions who also used drugs to Su Yuanyuan.

In that case, it was easy to detect who those junkies were Su Jianan saw that day.

The police soon conduct an act to look for Chen Xuanxuan, who tried to run away after getting wind of it. Nevertheless, she was caught in the train station as well as those junkies who appeared on that day.

Su Jianan came to the police office to identify. Though she was not a person who could remember all the things they saw, Su Jianan had a fairly good memory and thus recognized them at first sight. She nodded. “It’s them.”

Then, the police carried out the interrogation. Su Jianan and Lu Boyan were waiting for the result in the medical examiner office.

Su Jianan was kind of nervous, so she had to distract herself by asking Lu Boyan, “How did you find them?”

Lu Boyan clutched her hand. “I’ll tell you later.”

Su Jianan pursed her lips and then nodded.

They didn’t expect that the interrogation soon finished. The more than 10 junkies were telling the same story and revealed part of what had happened that day.

On that day, Chen Xuanxuan called and said she and Su Yuanyuan would take them out to “play”. She also said the girl they sent for was pretty and sensible. The only requirement was: They would have to record while they played.

They knew that the girl must have messed with Su Yuanyuan and Chen Xuanxuan.

To help the big brother’s woman seek revenge and to indulge themselves for a little while, why would they refuse it?

They didn’t expect that the girl who came was Su Jianan. Within a few words, Su Jianan scared them away. Later, they heard that Su Yuanyuan was dead and they didn’t know what happened. Their big brother ordered them to stay at home, so they did as the big brother told in fear.

In the end, the junkies offered a very crucial clue—on that day, Chen Xuanxuan was supposed to be show up on the crime scene. However, she later said that she got caught up in something and would arrive later.

The junkies failed to know if Chen Xuanxuan really showed up later.

Chen Xuanxuan answered the question with a shaky voice. She said she did not went there, and the lie-detector showed she was lying.

Chen Xuanxuan became the top suspect.

The subsequent investigation had been surprisingly smooth. The police found a piece of blood-stained clothes in Chen Xuanxuan’s place, and the blood test showed that it was Su Yuanyuan’s blood.

In the final interrogation, Chen Xuanxuan cried and admitted that she killed Su Yuanyuan.

However, she said that she didn’t it on purpose. On that day, she arrived late at the old public house, only to find the room empty and Su Yuanyuan in a trance.

She was angry and thought they had made such effort to have tricked Su Jianan here, and Su Yuanyuan actually wasted the rare opportunity.

Chen Xuanxuan and Su Yuanyuan got into a fight and the former accidentally stabbed Su Yuanyuan in a vital place.

Su Yuanyuan lay on the bed, twitching in pain and bleeding.

Chen Xuanxuan was startled. She didn’t dare to call the ambulance or the police. While thinking that the building was not wired for surveillance, nor was there any camera outside, she wiped her fingerprints on the knife and put it in Su Jianan’s hand. After cleaning the floor, she left as if nothing had happened.

She failed to seek her revenge by ruining Su Jianan. However, turning her into a murderer sounded nice as well.

However, she didn’t expect that the man who promised to cover her and protect her suddenly pushed her to the public. He also said if she did not confess to the police, she wouldn’t have a peaceful life even if she escaped from City A.

Chen Xuanxuan was charged with murder and Su Jianan left the police office after a simple procedure.

Just in an afternoon, the murder case had been heading to a completely different direction. The news media couldn’t figure it out so they swarmed to Su Jianan.

Su Jianan turned to look at Lu Boyan. “I don’t want to answer their questions.”

“Then don’t. Pretend they don’t exist.” Lu Boyan held Su Jianan with one arm and elbowed his way through the crowd with another. He pushed away all the flashing cameras and microphones and helped her into the car.

It was already night and the city readily showed its luminous side. The black car drove through the lights, which flashed on Su Jianan’s face from time to time. She buried her head into Lu Boyan’s arms, silently.

Lu Boyan knew why she was still unhappy.

The truth came out and she got rid of the groundless charge.

However, Su Yuanyuan was really dead, which was something she could not stop.
