His mind went blank, a little hollow, and buzzed again.

He had thought that Qiao Nian might know Lu Zhi because he had seen him go to the hospital last time.

But he hadn't expected them to be so close, as if they'd known each other for years.

But Qiao Nian was still so young, not even 20 this year.

Qiao Nian had just finished her college entrance examination at the beginning of the year. Logically speaking, she had not stayed in Beijing for more than half a year. She was as ordinary as the other students. Other than her face, there was nothing remarkable about her resume...

Jiang Yao clenched his fists at his sides.

His hands shook slightly.

He regretted his rash actions even more.

...

On the other side.

After Lu Zhi asked the girl frivolously, "Why were you outside?"

Qiao Nian looked up at him and said concisely, "I came out to take a breather, but I happened to hear my name. I realized that I was lying 100,000 meters away, but the blame still landed on me. I was quite curious about how they planned to shift the blame, so I listened here... You saw what happened later."

She was still in the mood to joke. She shrugged and said flippantly, "Tsk, bad luck. Someone found out. They also found me here and pestered me for an explanation."

Explanation?

Sorry, she didn't have any!

She didn't even know how she'd been shot while lying down.

Lu Zhi's gaze darkened when he saw the cynical expression on her fair face. His knuckles were on the ruby ring, and the uneven surface of the gem cut his hand. He chuckled, not seeming to care about the pain. "So you asked them to call the police.

"Actually, you could call me."

Qiao Nian glanced at him, as if asking, "Why would I call you?"

Lu Zhi's brows relaxed and he smiled. "Weren't they questioning who you're eating with? The matter would have been resolved if you'd just called me."

Qiao Nian hummed, as if she understood what he meant. She replied casually, "Even if I don't call you, they won't be able to stop me either. I can't be bothered to call you."

Lu Zhi was speechless.

Qiao Nian stared at him for two seconds after she finished speaking. Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and his back straightened unconsciously.

The girl had just pulled down her cap and frowned when she suddenly said, "I thought you never wore anything other than white. Why are you wearing blue today?"

Lu Zhi thought that Qiao Nian hadn't noticed something different about him today. Seeing that Qiao Nian had noticed, the corners of his lips curled up. He said gently and elegantly, "Ah, about that. I'm in a good mood today."

Behind him, the bodyguard, who did not dare to say a word, remained silent.

However, he already understood why Mr. Lu stayed in the cloakroom for three hours before leaving.

He was shocked. After all, Lu Zhi was definitely not someone who valued relationships.

However, under Lu Zhi's pressure, even though he was filled with surprise and shock, he remained expressionless and numb. He didn't even dare to look at Qiao Nian.

"Okay." Qiao Nian wasn't someone who paid attention to such trivial matters. She was just used to Lu Zhi wearing white. Suddenly, she couldn't help but look at him in other colors.

After Lu Zhi explained, she didn't think too much about it.

Just then, the phone vibrated in her pocket.

Qiao Nian took it out and looked down.
