Chapter 291 Tomorrow, Everything Will Change
Looking at the figure of Kang Ruicheng disappear at the door of the police station, Su Jianan’s hands slowly clenched into fists, and her mind was filled with his words, which were full of smugness and warning.
—Waiting to see the news of the next day.
To deal with people like Kang Ruicheng, they must give the first strike.
Su Jianan entered the interrogation room. Captain Yan and Xiao Ying were sorting out the interrogation materials. She asked, “What did the person you just interrogated do?”
Captain Yan helplessly said, “On the surface he is suspected of covering illegal transactions, but in fact, we guess the person who violated the law is him. Unfortunately, he was not in the private room when we got into it, and he didn’t commit to anything; the person caught on that day did not admit that he was his man. Therefore, we could only ask him to be here in the name of assisting the investigation. However, it was expected that he would be very sly and we got nothing.”
“How did you know that there would be illegal transactions at the club that night?” Su Jianan remembered that Captain Yan had their tasks a few nights ago, and thought of what Lu Boyan had said before going out, so she tentatively asked, “Who gave you the clues?”
Xiao Ying shook her head and said, “Anonymous clues, can’t find the source.”
“I see.”
Su Jianan hurried back to the office, without greeting anyone on the way, and was finally stopped by Jiang Shaokai.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Shaokai looked at her pretending to be calm but was actually very worried, “Something happened to Lu Boyan?”
Su Jianan shook her head, but her eyes were full of confusion. “He is fine now. But Kang Ruicheng will definitely do something to him again. I need to find some evidence against him.”
“Kang Ruicheng?” Jiang Shaokai was no stranger to that name. When he was a child, he heard his father’s name Kang Chengtian, which was mentioned by his family many times. He took Su Jianan into the office and closed the door, then asked with a serious face, “How come Lu Boyan messes with people like him?”
Su Jianan looked at Jiang Shaokai with confusion. She wasn’t sure; could she tell him about the grievance of the previous generation of the Lu and the Kang families?
“Jianan, you know who my uncle is. After Kang Ruicheng returned to the country, my uncle has been paying attention to him, for fearing that he will become the second Kang Chengtian of city A. Right, Kang Chengtian is the father of Kang Ruicheng, the local villain of the city 14 years ago, then a lawyer surnamed Lu…”
Jiang Shaokai suddenly paused and understood. “The lawyer who found the key evidence to rule Kang Ruicheng’s father’s death was Lu Boyan’s father? But didn’t his wife commit suicide with her son 14 years ago?”
“That was a sham,” Su Jianan said, “at that time, Kang Ruicheng constantly threatened Auntie Tang. My mother thought of this method for them, and then arranged for them to go abroad.”
Jiang Shaokai was so clever; he had already guessed why so many things had happened to Auntie Tang after he associated what Su Jianan said, and the things that happened after Kang Ruicheng returned to the country, “So the alleged massive tax evasion, and the collapse of Fanting Garden were all because of Kang Ruicheng?”
Su Jianan nodded and said, “He wants to break down Lu Enterprises.”
“Then why were you in such a panic?” Jiang Shaokai asked, “You can’t help Lu Boyan because you know nothing about business.”
Su Jianan thought for a moment, and said that the murderer who led Lu Boyan’s father’s death was Kang Ruicheng. She explained, “I can’t help with the company’s affairs. However, I can find evidence to reverse the case and prove that Kang Ruicheng is the murderer. When he is sent to prison, his power will collapse, and by then, we will find evidence to prove Lu Enterprises’ innocence.”
Jiang Shaokai almost said without thinking about it, “I will help you.”
Su Jianan shook her head. “I don’t want to…”
Jiang Shaokai interrupted Su Jianan, “I’m still part of the Jiang family. As long as my uncle doesn’t take off his military uniform, Kang Ruicheng would not dare to touch me. Besides, it’s more convenient for me to look through some materials if you want to check the case from decades ago.”
Thousands of grateful words were hanging on the lips, but Su Jianan just said two words, “Thank you.”
“It’s fine,” Jiang Shaokai waved his hand, “You don’t need to.”
After finishing the work at hand, Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai began to look up the case data of the year. When she got off work, Su Jianan suddenly thought: “The driver who took the blame for Kang Ruicheng!”
Jiang Shaokai slowly put on a smile and said, “How come I didn’t think of it? If the driver comes out and overthrows the confession, we could apply for a re-investigation.”
Su Jianan got up and rushed out, asked a colleague to check the driver’s information. She learned that the driver had been released from prison, and they could not get his status quo, and did not know where he was at the moment.
She was frustrated. Jiang Shaokai was optimistic. “It’s fine if he’s released, it’s more convenient for us to visit, right? It is easier to convince him to turn over the case if we talk to him outside.”
“But we have to find him first,” Su Jianan said.
“Isn’t that easy?” Jiang Shaokai smiled easily, “leave it to me!”
At that time, the clock on the wall pointed to five.
“It’s fine,” Jiang Shaokai handed Su Jianan her purse, “you should get off work first. We can find murderers who have very complex modus operandi, why can’t we find a person who always leaves traces of life everywhere?”
Su Jianan took the purse and looked a little worried. “Shaokai, don’t tell anyone about this.”
Jiang Shaokai nodded. “I know.”
If they acted too apparently, they would definitely attract Kang Ruicheng’s attention.
It was definitely easier for Kang Ruicheng to find the driver than them. Therefore, everything must be quietly carried out in the dark.
That day, it was still Uncle Xu who came to pick her up. When she got home, there were only a few people such as Liu Wei who were busy. Lu Boyan… might still come back until the early hours of the morning.
Su Jianan changed her clothes to cook, feeling absent-minded. The movements were naturally slow, and she couldn’t notice the movements around her, until a pair of familiar hands wrapped around her waist. She then suddenly came to herself, looking at Lu Boyan behind her with surprise. “How come you’re back so early today?”
“I came back to eat with you,” Lu Boyan laid his chin on Su Jianan’s shoulder and saw the cut sirloin and potatoes on the chopping board, “potato stewed with sirloin?”
“Yeah,” Su Jianan asked, “What do you want to eat? Let me cook for you!” She knew that he hadn’t eaten well in the past few days, no wonder he came back so early.
Unexpectedly, the president Lu, who had always been picky about eating, was not picky that day. He said: “Whatever you cook.”
Su Jianan made a sirloin and potatoes stew, cooked the fish soup, and finally made two vegetable dishes. The long-lost fragrance of a meal permeated the house.
After the meal, Su Jianan thought that Lu Boyan was going to be busy, and was about to ask if he wanted her to make some coffee for him. But he just sat on the sofa and took the remote control to turn the TV on, then called Su Jianan, “Come here.”
Su Jianan sat next to him and stared at him intently. “What’s going on?”
“Jianan, tomorrow…” Lu Boyan hesitated, something he had never done before.
Su Jianan remembered what Kang Ruicheng said to her at the police station in the morning. She asked uncomfortably, “What will happen tomorrow?”
“There will be things that may have a great impact on Lu Enterprises,” Lu Boyan said, “Everything will change.”
From his gaze, Su Jianan had already guessed what would happen.
If it were an ordinary person, perhaps they would be at lost and overwhelmed, but Lu Boyan still acted calmly.
As if he had expected the things that would happen the next day.
Or, as if he were the one who would make them happen.
Su Jianan felt reassured and didn’t panic. She just grabbed Lu Boyan’s hand unconsciously and smiled. “No matter what happens, I will stay with you.”
Lu Boyan suddenly clasped her hand, and pulled her into his arms.
Su Jianan stared at him. “This is the living room!” ‘Uncle Xu was still up, someone could come out and see us like this at any time!’
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Is the living room not appropriate?”
Su Jianan said without hesitation, “Of course not!”
Lu Boyan acted like he was very satisfied with this answer. He hooked his lips and said, “Then, let’s go back to the room.”
After being pulled back to the room, Su Jianan knew that she had been fooled, but Lu Boyan had already started to kiss her passionately, and left her no chance to argue about it.
In that regard, she had not been so shy at first, and she would try to respond to Lu Boyan when she found an opportunity, just like at that moment.
Lu Boyan paused, seemingly surprised, but not so excited. He slowed down his movement so that he could lead her to respond to him, while his arms were around her waist.
All things that happened next were just natural.
Lu Jianyan picked up Su Jianan and walked to the bed. At the most untimely moment, the phone suddenly, and he looked depressed.
Su Jianan did not dare to let him see her gloating, so she just rolled into the bed and smiled, reminding him, “Pick up the phone.”
It was Shen Yuechuan, he only said, “All arranged. They said… they believe in you.”
“…”
“I told them that they won’t stay in it for too long.”
Lu Boyan’s knuckles looked pretty white, and he said only one thing after a while, “Make the family members feel better.”
“I know,” Shen Yuechuan said, “the inside has also been arranged, they live together.”
Lu Boyan hung up the phone and stood near the bed for a long time without moving.
Su Jianan noticed an abnormality and went down the bed to his side, only to find that his eyes were like the night outside the window, so deep and unintelligible.
She took his hand and suddenly hugged him, feeling that his whole body was almost stiff so she hugged him tighter.
After a long time, Lu Boyan returned to normal from the rigid state, and rubbed Su Jianan’s hair. He said, “Go take a bath.”
Su Jianan looked up and looked at him with some fear. “Are you going too?”
Lu Boyan slightly raised his lips. “Mrs. Lu, is that an invitation?”
Saying those few words had exhausted all the courage she had, who couldn’t stand his asking anyway, so she just let go of him and turned to run. “It’s up to you!”
After rushing into the bathroom, she pushed the door to close. Unexpectedly, she did not hear the sound of the door closing, but fell into a familiar embrace.
Soon, she was drowned by kisses.
That time, there was no phone that would suddenly ring to bother them.
