Chapter 55: Su Yun Jiao Almost Let the Secret Out

Su Yun Jiao took out her phone, preparing to call Lu Jingqing.

The phone rang for a while with no answer, and Zhou Xian beside her said, "Is something up at the company? After all, he's the head of the Lu family, so he must have a lot to deal with."

Su Yun Jiao fell silent for a moment.

But she felt something was off, though she couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

If Lu Jingqing had something going on, he would definitely have Secretary Li contact her in advance.

It's absolutely impossible for him to be unreachable for no reason.

Could it be… that Lu Jingqing met with an accident?

Realizing this, Su Yun Jiao's face instantly turned grim.

Could it be that because Lu Jingqing moved against Lu Chi, Lu Mu couldn't tolerate it and therefore struck first at Lu Jingqing?

If that's the case… then Lu Jingqing must now be in danger, right?

"Class monitor, I have other things to do, I'm leaving first!"

Su Yun Jiao didn't even have time to finish her sentence before she hurried off.

Watching Su Yun Jiao's retreating back, Zhou Xian swallowed the words he had intended to say about driving her home.

Su Yun Jiao dared not delay; after leaving the library, she immediately took a taxi to the overseas branch of L Group.

She saw that L Group had already reached quitting time, with many employees streaming out of the building.

But among them, Su Yun Jiao did not see Lu Jingqing's figure.

Could it really be that something happened?

Sensing something amiss, Su Yun Jiao rushed to the front desk, anxiously asking, "I'm looking for Lu Jingqing! Where is he?"

"Boss Lu?"

The receptionist looked Su Yun Jiao up and down, saw she was just a high school student, and said, "Sorry, miss, we've already closed for the day—I don't know where Boss Lu is."

Having said that, the receptionist prepared to grab her bag and leave.

Seeing that the receptionist didn't know where Lu Jingqing was, Su Yun Jiao anxiously said, "Boss Lu might have met with an accident! Please tell me where he is—I…"

Before Su Yun Jiao could finish her sentence, Lu Jingqing's voice suddenly came from behind: "Jiao Jiao?"

At that cry of "Jiao Jiao," Su Yun Jiao froze in place.

When Su Yun Jiao turned around, she saw Lu Jingqing standing behind her, obviously puzzled as to why she was inside L Group's office.

Upon seeing Lu Jingqing appear before her unharmed, Su Yun Jiao was also visibly stunned.

"You…"

"Me?"

Lu Jingqing frowned.

Seeing Lu Jingqing approach, the receptionist politely greeted him: "Sorry, Boss Lu, I didn't know this young lady was… someone you know."

"It's fine, you can go home now."

"Okay, Boss Lu."

The receptionist soon left.

Su Yun Jiao never expected Lu Jingqing to be unharmed.

But soon she realized another problem: if Lu Jingqing was fine, why didn't he answer the phone?

"Brother Jingqing, I've called you so many times—why didn't you pick up?"

Su Yun Jiao's face was filled with indignation.

It was clear she was truly angry.

Lu Jingqing frowned, clearly unaware of this, and glanced at Secretary Li beside him.

Secretary Li then took Lu Jingqing's phone out of his briefcase.

"There was an urgent meeting that just started, so I silenced and put away my phone—sorry, Miss Su, I forgot to answer your call!"

"Didn't I tell you before the meeting to have the driver pick up Jiao Jiao right away?"

"Sorry, Boss Lu."

Secretary Li hastily lowered his head.

He had also been overwhelmed for a moment, which is why he forgot about Su Yun Jiao at the library.

Seeing that Lu Jingqing was all right, Su Yun Jiao finally let out a breath of relief: "All's well that ends well."

"But what were you shouting about at the front desk just now? Who could possibly have met with an accident?"

Lu Jingqing certainly hadn't forgotten what Su Yun Jiao and the receptionist had just said.

Su Yun Jiao's tone was so certain it didn't sound like a joke at all.

Only then did Su Yun Jiao realize that, in her panic, she had actually blurted out the rumor that Lu Jingqing might have met with an accident.

Su Yun Jiao quickly corrected herself: "It's fine, it's fine—I was just too worried about you, so I assumed you hadn't come to find me because something had happened, after all, Brother Jingqing always keeps his promises."

Su Yun Jiao gave an embarrassed smile.

Lu Jingqing opposite her, however, showed no sign of believing her.

"Wait for me in the car first; I still have a bit of wrapping-up work to do, and I'll come find you in the garage shortly."

Having said that, Lu Jingqing had Secretary Li hand the car keys to Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao forced a smile, then took the keys and went down to the underground parking level.

After Su Yun Jiao had left, Lu Jingqing turned to Secretary Li beside him and said, "If one day I suddenly stand you up, what would you think?"

"Day or night?"

"Judging by today's incident, I'd count it as evening."

"Then it would definitely be because you thought Boss Lu was busy and forgot, or overslept, or maybe he got tied up with something else."

"What if I don't answer the phone?"

"That's definitely because it's on silent in a meeting."

"Will they think something happened to me?"

"That definitely won't happen!"

Secretary Li spoke very firmly.

Bosses are all turtles, living very long.

With so many bodyguards around, I've never seen many accidental deaths.

"You say why would Jiajia think I had an accident?"

Faced with Lu Jingqing's question, Secretary Li also didn't know.

Miss Su's thinking seems different from ordinary people; she always has some weird ideas.

It's hard to figure out.

"Let's go back first."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao was alone in the garage, thinking about Lu Jingqing's gaze just now, she still felt a bit shaken.

How does it feel like I've been exposed?

Lu Jingqing's thoughts are really too terrifying.

It's really hard to imagine that someone like Lu Jingqing would, in his past life, also die at the hands of the Lu family mother and son.

Could it be that the past life events were a misunderstanding?

Thump—thump—

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the car window, startling Su Yun Jiao.

Lu Jingqing's gaze outside the car door revealed a hint of scrutiny.

Although it was only a brief moment.

But Su Yun Jiao still caught that gaze.

It's over.

The big ice block became suspicious.

Lu Jingqing sat beside Su Yun Jiao and said to Secretary Li, "Drive."

"Yes, Boss Lu."

Secretary Li drove, and Su Yun Jiao inside the car felt very uneasy.

It felt as if her secret had been discovered.

Just then, Su Yun Jiao's phone rang.

Zhou Xian on the other end asked, "Jiajia, how are you over there? Nothing wrong, right?"

"No problem, Captain, I've already handled it."

"That's good; if anything happens, remember to call me."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao hung up the phone, and Lu Jingqing beside her said, "Your captain really cares about you."
