Chapter 98

Zhou Tingting said: "I didn't drive her away, but she herself was quite sensible, saying she wouldn't stay, so my brother made a phone call, asking them to send her away."

Zhou Tingting basically didn't want to deal with Qin Xue; if it weren't because her brother said to fulfill the host's duty and not be ignorant of etiquette, she definitely wouldn't care about Qin Xue's life or death.

After saying that, Zhou Tingting curiously asked: "Why exactly did those two kidnappers abduct you? What exactly happened to you?"

Su Yun Jiao remained silent, saying nothing.

Those two kidnappers were after the Su family inheritance on her person.

Ten years ago, the people who kidnapped her were also this gang.

In other words, the kidnapping case ten years ago was merely a self-directed and self-acted play by Lu Chi's mother, in order to better ensnare her.

It's fortunate that she had no suspicion about this; in her previous life, because of this reason, she exerted all her effort to try to repay the Lu family.

She is simply utterly foolish.

Dong dong

Outside the door suddenly came the sound of knocking; Zhou Xian stood outside the door, saying: "Jiao Jiao, come out and have a bite to eat; you haven't eaten much since you got up this morning; I already had people prepare food; eating something will also improve your mood."

"Thank you, class monitor, I'll go out right away."

Su Yun Jiao really doesn't have much appetite to eat now, but no matter how bitter, she can't let her stomach suffer.

Moreover, she has something she wants Lu Jingqing to investigate.

Just now, it was because Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian were both present that she didn't get a chance to speak.

Zhou Tingting accompanied Su Yun Jiao downstairs from upstairs.

In the living room, Lu Jingqing was indeed already seated at the dining table.

Su Yun Jiao sat in a seat near Lu Jingqing, intending to say a few words to him, but Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian were here, so Su Yun Jiao felt uncomfortable bringing up the kidnapping case.

Lu Jingqing seemed to have noticed this, and thus lightly said: "Jiao Jiao, come with me to the kitchen to fetch the dishes."

"...... OK."

Su Yun Jiao followed behind Lu Jingqing.

The hotel's chef, who had specially prepared the meal for them, saw the two people walk in and immediately stepped forward, saying: "Boss Lu, Miss Su, here I can……"

"Please go out first; we'll take these dishes over."

Lu Jingqing had already spoken, so the chef could only make way.

When Lu Jingqing walked inside, he then said: "Speak."

"Brother Jingqing, I know the two people who kidnapped me today; I've seen them before."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingqing's hand paused.

Su Yun Jiao said very seriously: "Those two people kidnapped me ten years ago; since they are a married couple, I remember it clearly—when I was a child, I was kidnapped by them; later, Aunt Lu didn't agree to call the police, but instead took the ransom and redeemed me; just now I noticed that the woman knows Lu Chi, and Lu Chi seems to know that woman as well."

Thinking of these, Su Yun Jiao became even more certain.

The kidnapping case back then was merely a scheme set up by Lu Mu.

"I will investigate this matter; even if you know about it, you must pretend you don't understand, got it?"

Su Yun Jiao naturally understood what Lu Jingqing meant by saying that.

Lu Jingqing did not want her to be drawn into this.

"How did you guys get in? Just let them handle this kind of thing."

Zhou Tingting came in while helping Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing carry the plates.

Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing also returned to the living room as if nothing had happened.

After returning to the living room, they just pretended nothing had happened.

"We had originally said we would all watch the fireworks together nicely, Jiao Jiao; it's all my fault for not arranging a proper venue."

"It's fine; I actually find it quite fun, and besides, I wasn't hurt."

Speaking of this, Su Yun Jiao deliberately asked: "By the way, those two kidnappers were taken away by the police; what happens next? Will they summon me? I'm asking about these details."

"After the police took them away, they didn't leave any contact information, but they should get in touch, right?"

Zhou Xian looked toward Lu Jingqing and said: "I actually feel that Lu Chi is behaving strangely this time; he's fine, yet he won't let anyone intervene in this matter."

The kidnapping case is so important, yet Lu Chi won't let them intervene.

He puts it up as being because they are outsiders.

But Zhou Xian feels that things aren't that simple.

Looking at Lu Chi's appearance, it seems as if he wants to conceal something.

Lu Jingqing had previously thought Zhou Xian was a smart kid; now looking at him, he truly is very smart.

It's just based on Lu Chi's reaction that he already guessed the matter isn't simple.

Lu Jingqing said: "I will go ask about this later; this matter won't just pass without clarity."

At that very moment, Su Yun Jiao's phone suddenly rang.

Upon hearing Su Yun Jiao's phone ring, everyone looked at her phone.

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head and glanced at the caller ID, discovering that the caller was none other than

It was Lu Mu.

Su Yun Jiao had long known that Lu Mu would lose patience and call her first, but she didn't expect the call to come so quickly.

Su Yun Jiao answered the phone and was very polite to Lu Mu on the other end: "Aunt Lu, is there something?"

Lu Mu's tone carried a hint of worry: "Jiao Jiao, I heard you were kidnapped; how are you? Are you hurt?"

"No, thank you for your concern, Aunt."

"I was really scared; hearing that you're fine, Aunt feels relieved."

Lu Mu said: "This time I owe it to Lu Chi calling me; otherwise I wouldn't have known about this matter. The mountains are too dangerous; I think you should hurry back home. Aunt has already had the room tidied up; when you return, take a good bath to wash away the bad luck."

Su Yun Jiao just knew that Lu Mu was calling for this reason.

Are you trying to take the opportunity to get closer to her?

She stubbornly refused to let Lu Mu succeed.

Aunt Lu, don't worry, I'm fine now, and besides, Brother Jingqing is with me, so I'll be alright.

Lu Jingqing? He went too?

Lu Mu didn't know Su Yun Jiao was accompanied by Lu Jingqing; when Lu Chi returned just now, he didn't say a word.

Thinking of this, Lu Mu couldn't help feeling stifled.

This Lu Jingqing.

Really, he's a persistent haunt!

However, on the surface, Lu Mu couldn't express her dislike for Lu Jingqing; she could only give an embarrassed smile and say: "Is that so? It turns out Jingqing is by your side, no wonder…… Having Jingqing by your side puts Aunt Lu more at ease."

Yes, Aunt Lu, today really was a close call, thanks to Brother Jingqing; although I'm fine now, I don't know whether after those two kidnappers are taken away I'll still have to give a statement.

Lu Mu said: "You don't need to worry about that; just now Lu Chi went to explain the situation to the police for you, and I went to check as well—those two kidnappers have been arrested, the police won't bother you, so get some rest."
