Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 128
Chapter 128: Infernal Labyrinth 24
Zhou Yonghou, without a second thought, quickly followed Lu Junsheng and An Jiayi’s pace.
After getting in the car, Lu Junsheng had Zhou Yonghou drive them back to his villa in the Mid-Levels, where security was tight and relatively safer.
Lu Junsheng told Zhou Yonghou to wait in the living room and took An Jiayi into the study.
Liuli was also ready to be interrogated.
But the first question Lu Junsheng asked was: “Why did you fall on A Hao just now? ”
Liuli was momentarily stunned, but this question was also a trap. A bad answer might expose Zhou Yonghou as well: “Lu Sheng, your focus is quite unique. I just sensed someone trying to harm me, so I wanted to hide in a crowded place. I didn’t notice A Hao was so close to me, so we fell together. I didn’t mean to fall on him. ”
“Okay, I believe you! How did you know someone was trying to harm you? An An, you dodged that shot so skillfully.
Do you police officers even factor in feelings when solving cases…?”
Liuli heard the weariness in Lu Junsheng’s words and felt even more reluctant, but she couldn’t say that his efforts were voluntary. After all, she had never resolutely refused to complete her mission: “Lu Sheng, I’m sorry. ”
“Besides sorry, is there anything else you want to tell me? Judging from the location of the bullet hole, the target was clearly you. Sniper rifles aren’t readily available. It’s highly likely that someone from the Police Force, acting on Liang Chen’s instructions, did this.
Police Officer Sister, they’ve already treated you as a pawn. Are you still going to sacrifice yourself for the Police Force? ”
Liuli certainly didn’t want to, but her ultimate goal was still to get Lu Junsheng imprisoned…
“I’ll help you eliminate the people in the Police Force who threaten you. In exchange, leave the Police Force. ”
Liuli felt somewhat guilty. She had already given all the evidence she could collect to Officer Huang, which meant she was no longer useful; otherwise, Liang Chen wouldn’t have been so resolute in trying to kill her.
“Lu Sheng, I don’t want to lie to you. Guess why they chose to kill me now… ”
“I didn’t expect An An to be so capable. Actually, as long as you agree, even if you’re lying to me, I’ll believe you. ”
“I know… so I can’t deceive you. ”
“You’d better keep deceiving me until the end… If that’s what you want, I won’t resist. ”
Lu Junsheng chuckled bitterly. He wanted to make her fall in love, but it was he himself who fell first.
“If I’m arrested and stay in this villa, you’ll be safe. I’ll instruct them to strengthen security here and give you access to enter and exit freely. ”
“Lu Junsheng, I don’t deserve your kindness. ” Liuli looked into his eyes and said earnestly.
“The Police Force doesn’t deserve your devotion either. Everyone has their own convictions. ”
Outside the Mid-Levels villa, many police cars quickly surrounded it. Seeing the security guards drawing their guns, the police officers also held their guns at the ready and used a megaphone to shout: “Lu Junsheng, your crime is undeniable. Stop resisting, the routes in and out of the Mid-Levels are guarded by police officers, you can’t escape! ”
Liuli wasn’t surprised. Her spiritual sense had been working all day, and she had already seen Zhou Yonghou reporting to the Police Force, and she had seen the police cars surrounding the area. Yet, she didn’t warn Lu Junsheng to leave…
Lu Junsheng looked at An Jiayi: “Did you send a message to the Police Force? ”
Liuli honestly shook her head: “But I received the message that they were coming. ”
Lu Junsheng pinched An Jiayi’s chin, his eyes full of dejection: “At this moment, you don’t even want to deceive me anymore. Don’t worry, I will help you fulfill all your wishes. ”
The shouting outside continued, but Lu Junsheng remained calm. He opened a safe and took out a USB drive: “It’s your birthday in a week, this was originally a birthday gift I wanted to give you. It contains evidence I had my subordinates collect over the past few years about Liang Chen and Yishun’s crimes.
Liang Chen and Yishun’s methods are such that this won’t shake their foundation, but it will hurt them badly, leaving them no time to focus on you.
Do you want me to hand it over to the police now, or do you want to keep it as leverage against them? Either choice has risks, but if I go, you’ll be much safer.
If you need it, I can have my subordinates process your exit documents so you can hide in a foreign country for a few years. ”
“I’m not leaving. Thank you, Lu Junsheng. You should submit this evidence, maybe you can get a reduced sentence for meritorious service. ”
Lu Junsheng lowered his head to kiss her delicate red lips, but Liuli turned her head to avoid him.
Lu Junsheng sighed softly: “I thought you cared about my situation and didn’t completely dislike me. Was I being presumptuous? ”
Lu Junsheng left the study and looked at Zhou Yonghou waiting in the living room. Suddenly, he understood many key points and chuckled to himself: “The play that day was well-acted, but unfortunately, neither of us won the beauty. ”
Zhou Yonghou now had confidence: “How do you know I don’t have a chance! ”
Lu Junsheng sneered without shattering his fantasy. For An Jiayi, the Police Force was no longer safe, and Zhou Yonghou was naturally untrustworthy. Wanting to be together? Daydreaming.
Lu Junsheng told the security personnel to withdraw, instructing them not to relax their protection of the villa, that An Jiayi could enter and exit freely and to ensure her safety, then he walked towards the police cars.
Besides Officer Huang, this time the Police Force also sent Zhou Yonghou’s contact, Officer Li. Officer Li stepped forward, handcuffed him, and took him away.
Seeing the situation at the villa entrance, they thought there would be a fierce battle.
After Lu Junsheng was taken away, Liuli also left the study. Her spiritual sense saw that Zhou Yonghou hadn’t left yet.
“Aren’t you leaving yet? Lu Junsheng probably already guessed you’re an undercover agent. ”
“An An, haven’t you been exposed as well…?”
“Someone tried to kill me today, and you saw it. Lu Junsheng agreed to let me stay here. ”
“He’s that kind? An An, don’t be fooled by him! ”
“At this point, what else can he fool me with? You should leave. Lu Junsheng is willing to protect me, and I’ll be fine staying here. Lu’s is such a large corporation, it won’t collapse just because the person in power is imprisoned. If others in Lu’s want to make an example of someone to assert their authority, you’re the best candidate. You should find a safe house and hide for a while. ”
Zhou Yonghou grabbed An Jiayi’s shoulders, excitedly saying: “An An! We’re on the same side! You’re kicking me out now?!”
Liuli broke free from Zhou Yonghou’s grip: “I’ve done everything I could for the Police Force, but they want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Do you still think we’re on the same side? ”
She needed a reason to leave the villa and expose herself to danger, so she would have a chance to leave early. If Zhou Yonghou was smart, he would give her a way out.
