Lu Zheng was stunned because of the conversation between Zhu Luoluo and the short-haired woman.
“Luoluo still has great charm, that Lei Zhiyun has no resistance at all.”
“Hee hee, of course, things will be much simpler after that.”
Then came a burst of normal giggling, with occasional glances over here.
Although, it did not sound wrong, the so-called “things” meant she had taken a liking to Lei Zhiyun and planned to date him?
But…
It always felt off somehow, as if completing a mission.
Look at Lei Zhiyun with his glasses and ordinary appearance, then at Zhu Luoluo in her white dress, with stunning features and a curvaceous figure.
Although Lei Zhiyun was indeed the best student among them, a solid potential stock, why did things feel a bit strange?
Love at first sight, just like that? Lei Zhiyun had not even shown his talents yet?
Lu Zheng blinked, “Lei Zi?”
“Huh?”
“Have you won the lottery recently? Something like four or five hundred million?”
Lei Zhiyun nearly spat his beer in Lu Zheng’s face, “I do buy lottery tickets habitually, but the biggest prize I have ever won in my life was third place, three thousand yuan, and you lot fleeced me hard back then, do you not remember?”
“Cough cough!”
“That was a buffet, how could it count as fleecing? We definitely got our money’s worth.”
“Exactly, I feel like you alone got your money’s worth, you ate a whole plate of those huge abalones.”
“Bloody hell, I had the runs for three days!”
Off topic, Lu Zheng coughed twice.
“Since it is not about your money, then she must fancy your talent.” Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, “Remember to do a premarital check-up.”
“Damn!” This time Lei Zhiyun really spat out his beer.
“Road Lamp, impressive!”
“Thinking ahead!”
“Yes yes, with such a pretty girl, be careful she might be looking for a handover.”
“Get lost!” Lei Zhiyun was speechless, you all have girlfriends, what is this group teasing of a single dog?
Just then, Zhu Luoluo and her companion seemed to have finished eating, so they packed up and stood to leave.
On the way out, they passed Lu Zheng’s table.
They nodded in greeting, Lei Zhiyun apologised again, the companion looked a bit disdainful, while Zhu Luoluo smiled sweetly and made a phone gesture, then said to Lei Zhiyun with a smile, “Call me later~”
So cute!
Lei Zhiyun could only grin sheepishly, “Yes yes yes!”
Tsk tsk, too inexperienced, completely pinned down.
Zhao Wei sighed, “We came out to celebrate for Lao Tong, did not expect Lei Zi to get lucky in love, Lao Tong, looks like your luck transferred to Lei Zi, tell us, what backroom deal did you two make.”
He felt a bit sour, because since graduating, he had dated three girlfriends, none of whom could match half of Zhu Luoluo.
“Not necessarily luck in love, might be a romantic disaster.” Lu Zheng said thoughtfully.
On the contrary, Lei Zhiyun said, “Whether luck or disaster, just go with the flow, if I get it, lucky, if not, my fate.”
“So calm?”
Even Lu Zheng was slightly surprised, did not expect Lei Zhiyun’s mindset to be so good.
“Ding dong!” A message came.
Lei Zhiyun opened it, then wore a silly grin, and replied swiftly.
The others, “…”
They did not need to look to know who sent it.
Lickspittle!
Lei Zhiyun scoffed, you fed men do not know hungry men are starving, I have been single nearly twenty-six years, not even smelled the scent, cannot I lick a bit?
Moreover, she was a little rich woman.
Moreover, Lei Zhiyun was not without some confidence, he was the best student in the dorm, versed in all aspects of IT, a true all-rounder, naturally with his own pride.
…
The group drank and chatted, reminiscing about past glorious days.
After ten o’clock, Tong Muxuan and Zhao Wei’s phones rang one after another, so they settled the bill, agreed on end-of-month plans, and went their separate ways.
“Hello? Home yet?” Lu Zheng dialled Lin Wan’s number.
“Back, your side done?” Lin Wan asked.
“Yes, heading back now, there is something I need you to check.”
“What is it?”
“No rush, will say when I get back.”
Ten minutes later, Lu Zheng arrived home.
Lin Wan had showered, her hair still damp and unblown, wearing pyjamas to open the door for Lu Zheng, which made him feel a surge of heat.
“What is it?”
“No hurry, I will freshen up first.”
Lu Zheng also showered, five minutes later emerging fresh and hugging Lin Wan on the sofa.
“What on earth is it?”
Lin Wan was quite curious, because Lu Zheng had never needed her help before.
“Investigate someone.” Lu Zheng said.
“Who?”
“A woman, named Zhu Luoluo.” Lu Zheng said, “Looks about twenty-six or seven, very pretty.”
Actually, with Lu Zheng’s abilities, as long as he invisibly followed Zhu Luoluo for a few days, whatever issues she had would likely come to light.
But, firstly, Lu Zheng did not want to waste the time, secondly, if she and Lei Zhiyun really ended up together later, he would feel uneasy about it.
So, let Lin Wan probe the background first, then decide what to do next.
Lu Zheng described today’s events to Lin Wan, especially mentioning the two sentences he overheard unintentionally.
“Should be fine.” Lin Wan said hesitantly, “If there was an issue, with no one else around them then, what could not be said quietly?”
“That is why I am unsure.”
“Alright, I will call Xiu Min in the morning, should find out quickly.”
Lu Zheng nodded, so in background checks, police had an advantage over him.
“Right, chit-chat done, let us get to the main thing.”
“What main, mmph——”
“I have not blown my hair!”
“Blow what hair, anyway it will need washing again later.”
“Mmph——”
…
Early next morning, Lin Wan called Huang Xiu Min, then went downstairs with Lu Zheng for breakfast.
Just after finishing, Huang Xiu Min’s reply arrived, Lin Wan opened her phone for a quick look, and could not help but frown slightly.
“What? Issue?”
Lin Wan nodded then shook her head, “On experience, no issue, but identity, not sure if it counts as an issue.”
Lu Zheng’s gaze sharpened, “What issue?”
“She is Japanese.”
“What!?”
Lu Zheng was shocked, he truly had not seen that Zhu Luoluo was Japanese.
“You not seeing it is normal, because she grew up in Haicheng since childhood.”
Lin Wan said, “Her parents were among the first Japanese to do business in China, she lived in Haicheng with them, only…”
“Only what?”
“Only she studied at the Japanese school in Haicheng since childhood.”
“Is that a problem?”
“That is the problem, do you know there is a Japanese school in Haicheng?”
“No.” Lu Zheng said blankly.
