Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 674

“Luo Qian, why are you joining in the mess?” Sister Liu couldn’t help but glance at him when he returned.

Section Chief Jiang’s confidant had indeed added his name. After all, they knew that Deputy Liu was going to replace the entire 18th floor, and even if they could escape this time, there would be another “Jiangdong case” waiting for them.

But there was still no need for an intern like Luo Qian to wade in this muddy water.

To be honest, Sister Liu and the others had experience and strength. Thus, although it would be a pity to leave the Inspection Institute, it wasn’t a big deal for them to start all over again. On the other hand, this opportunity was more important for an intern like Luo Qian.

Luo Qian sat down at his seat and opened a webpage. Upon hearing this, he lowered his voice and said, “I’m very good at doing data.”

He had taken a look and found that the three people in charge of data in the office didn’t have any intentions of getting involved in the messy situation.

“You…” Sister Liu stared at him, speechless.

He was still a youngster who just entered the workplace and didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

“Sister Liu, don’t be too pessimistic. What if we really make a great contribution?” Luo Qian thought for a while and said, “I’ve observed that Miss Mingyue’s resume is really amazing.”

Looking at him, Sister Liu didn’t know how to tell that even Inspector Feng would have difficulties investigating this case.

The entire Inspection Institute knew that the higher-ups were simply looking for people to take the fall, and no one really believed that someone would be able to investigate this case.

But she wasn’t willing to kill Luo Qian’s enthusiasm.

…

In the afternoon, after work.

Section Chief Jiang, Sister Liu, and the others stayed back for a meeting.

Section Chief Jiang took out his notebook and asked Sister Liu to distribute the documents. “Everyone is clear that the whole matter is in this sealed document. The two people involved in the Jiangdong case are basically untouchable and cannot be found. I’ll contact a few friends later on and discuss it tomorrow morning.”

He tried his best to use a relaxed tone. “There’s still half a month left. Everyone, let’s work hard and run a few more trips.”

With that said, he distributed several lists.

Pan Mingyue took the document and stuffed it into her bag.

They worked overtime for half an hour and went back later than the others. When they went downstairs, no one else was in the entire Inspection Institute.

The three of them walked to the subway as usual, and this time, Pan Mingyue glanced in the direction of the tramp on the opposite side. He was neatly dressed, sitting on the side of the road, facing the intersection. He had a particularly peaceful expression and seemed to be saying something.

However, what Pan Mingyue saw first wasn’t him, but the man squatted beside him.

Lu Zhaoying was squatting casually beside the tramp, without bothering about the trifles, listening carefully to what the tramp was saying.

The tramp took out a photo from his pocket and showed it to him. Glancing at the side, Lu Zhaoying noticed Pan Mingyue at the intersection and waved at her, signaling her to wait. After looking at the photo in the tramp’s hands, he bid him farewell and politely left a bag of bread for him.

His black windbreaker was stained with some dust from where he had been squatting just now, but he didn’t mind at all and only walked in Pan Mingyue’s direction.

Sister Liu and Luo Qian had already gone to the subway first.

When Lu Zhaoying came over, Pan Mingyue was still looking at the tramp. She returned to her senses, pushed her sliding black-rimmed glasses, and smiled at him. “Big Brother Lu, why are you here?”

“I had business nearby, so I came to eat first,” Lu Zhaoying said casually, glancing at the Inspection Institute’s big building. “That guy from the Feng family didn’t come to harass you again, right?”

At the mention of Feng Ci, Pan Mingyue was still very calm. “No.”

Because of Qin Ran, she had been familiar with Lu Zhaoying since high school. To her, Lu Zhaoying was probably a little more familiar than Cheng Juan or Cheng Mu.

They went to a nearby restaurant together.

Pan Mingyue and Qin Ran’s tastes were actually very similar, but their personalities were quite different.

They sat by the window.

Lu Zhaoying took the menu and ordered a few dishes according to her taste. Seeing how deep in thought she looked, he asked, “Are you meeting with some trouble at work?”

Pan Mingyue returned to her senses upon hearing him.

When it came to other people, like her roommates and teachers, Pan Mingyue was hesitant. Perhaps because of her experience over the years, she didn’t want to trouble other people because of her situation.

But now that it was Lu Zhaoying, she hesitated for a moment and confided in him. “My decision has pulled down some other people in the office…”

Lu Zhaoying finished listening quietly.

In the end, he couldn’t help but lean back and laugh. He pushed the glass of water to her, his eyebrows relaxed and loose like scattered stars. “Even if you turn back time, you’ll still do the same thing, wouldn’t you?”

Previously, he had always wondered how Pan Mingyue had made friends with Qin Ran with her quiet personality.

But now, it seemed like they were actually the same in their bones.

They would do their utmost and spare no pains or effort for the people who treated them well.

When the dishes were served and Pan Mingyue had explained her situation, Lu Zhaoying said, “Do you have any ideas about it?”

Lu Zhaoying wasn’t sure about the Jiangdong case, but according to Pan Mingyue, it must be very tricky.

“There’s always a way. No case in the world can’t be investigated,” Pan Mingyue said firmly, her gentle eyebrows seeming to shine.

Lu Zhaoying knew that her ideal dream was to be an inspector. At the mention of this, her usually mature eyebrows were finally a little more vivid, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. “If you need help, just tell me.”

Times had changed for the Lu family, and he could now handle most things.

After all, even if he couldn’t handle it, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were still two enormous supporters.

Lu Zhaoying had already planned to ask those two to check the matter out.

When they finished eating, the sky had already darkened, and the street lights were dimly-lit. Lu Zhaoying was about to send her back to school.

However, as soon as he exited, two plainclothes subordinates rushed over from a car. “Boss! There’s an emergency!”

Before Lu Zhaoying could say anything, Pan Mingyue turned to him. “I can go back by myself.”

“You two, come here.” Without looking at her, Lu Zhaoying waved his subordinates over and pointed at her. “Send her to the female dormitory of Beijing University.”

Then, he urgently answered the phone call and hurriedly returned to his car.

Pan Mingyue stared after him.

“Miss Pan, please.” Lu Zhaoying’s subordinate opened the backseat door and gestured.

Pan Mingyue glanced at him. “You know me?”

One of Lu Zhaoying’s subordinates scratched the back of his head, laughed, and remained silent.

…

Pan Mingyue didn’t go to the dormitory this time but asked Lu Zhaoying’s subordinates to drive her to the house that Song Luting had bought.

It was quiet there. Song Luting always stayed in the laboratory and rarely came back.

She turned on the lights in the lobby and logged onto the website to check the specific number of people involved in the case.

Not only was the suspect involved in this case a sensitive person, but the victim’s insider also refused to cooperate. Hence, no substantive evidence could be found. If it was investigated further, an Inspection Institute’s section chief wouldn’t be able to handle it.

The reason why Jiangdong’s case was such a mystery was because of two reasons. People didn’t dare to investigate and couldn’t do so either, so there was absolutely no news.

After sorting out the personnel’s information, she circled the names of the three people with a pen and then sent a message to Sister Liu, telling her that she would be going out tomorrow. Then, she clicked on a black website.

As soon as she sent a request, Chang Ning called her.

Pan Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She originally intended to ask the internal person-in-charge of 129 to investigate these people, but she didn’t expect Chang Ning to call back personally.

She picked up. “Mr. Chang.”

“How many people do you want to investigate?” Pan Mingyue was Chang Ning’s recent key observation subject, and probably because of her talent and seriousness, his enthusiasm for her was similar to that of Qin Ran before.

Chang Ning felt like the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

“Is it convenient?” Pan Mingyue put aside the file and walked to the window.

Sitting in the office with a coffee, Chang Ning calmly said, “Yes. I’ll send it to you later.”

“Thank you.”

After a two-second pause, Chang Ning said again, “Are you really not going to consider my previous proposal? You can check 129’s data any time, without the trouble of going through so many procedures.”

Pan Mingyue politely remained silent.

Chang Ning was speechless.

He hung up and glanced in despair at Slag Dragon, who was sitting on the sofa. “Why do you think she’s so obsessed with the Institute? Isn’t inheriting 129 more attractive?”

Slag Dragon lazily stepped on his slippers and took a moment to glance at him. “Come on, you can do it.”

Chang Ning leaned back and murmured, “I can only seduce the baby boy Ziyu.”

Slag Dragon was impressed. “Boss, I respect you as a good man.”

Chang Ning: “…”

Pan Mingyue was still understandable, but to fight for Cheng Ziyu meant fighting with the Medical Research Institute, the Physics Institute, the Hacker Alliance, and the Qin family. What did he have to fight with them??

Half a month passed in a hurry.

The ultimatum case on the 18th floor of the Inspection Institute was the center of everyone’s attention.
