Chapter 729 If you have a guilty conscience, you'll find ghosts everywhere.
"what!"
A casual remark from the waiter startled Shi Mengyi so much that she screamed:
"What nonsense are you spouting! Who gave you permission to say that?"
Lu Yao watched coldly from the sidelines, and couldn't help but admire Shi Mengyi.
She has a very strong personality; most girls would have been terrified, but she managed to control herself and refuse to believe in superstitions.
The waiter also seemed scared:
"Comrade, don't worry. When you came in, the man carrying the bag was right behind you. He said you were together!"
Shi Mengyi's cold sweat trickled down the back of her neck and down her spine, dripping into her pants.
"Don't talk nonsense, it was just the two of us when we came in."
The waitress smiled and said, "Okay, ma'am, it's fine if it's just the two of you. But that guy really did pay. He initially wanted to sign and hang the receipt, but the cashier said they couldn't, so he gave me cash. You can see his signature on the receipt."
"Fine, I'll go check. If you dare lie to me, see how I deal with you!"
Shi Mengyi remains assertive.
With one hand in her pocket, she walked out, with Lu Yao following behind her.
When she reached the small moon-shaped window at the cashier, she tapped the counter:
"Bring out the receipts from my table so I can take a look."
A piece of paper was handed out from the counter.
Shi Mengyi stared at the paper, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
Lu Yao also went over to take a look.
Above was the bill for my table, and below it were a few words written in a flamboyant style:
"Education and Health Bureau, Liang Chunlin"
Shi Mengyi looked up at Lu Yao.
Looking at her eyes, Lu Yao knew it was still Shi Mengyi, not Xiao Jian.
Shi Mengyi seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps to Lu Yao:
"It really is Chunlin's notebook... It's him, he's back."
Lu Yao reached out and patted her shoulder:
"Team Leader Shi, you've had too much to drink. Let's go back."
Shi Mengyi was somewhat distraught.
As Lu Yao and I walked out, I almost tripped over the threshold.
Lu Yao helped her up, and when she looked up, Lu Yao felt as if she were a stranger.
Her bangs fell to her forehead, covering half of her face, and her eyes were unfocused with a hint of fear.
She was no longer the elegant and refined Team Leader Shi she had first met.
Lu Yao was afraid that she would develop another personality.
I really have to admire Mei Ping; she's so meticulous, she even copied and used Liang Chunlin's old signature.
Got in the car.
Shi Mengyi asked:
"Little Lu, do you believe in ghosts?"
Lu Yao smiled: "You won't believe it until you experience it. There are many things you only have the right to comment on after experiencing them firsthand. People say that if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. If you have a guilty conscience, you'll find ghosts everywhere."
This answer is ambiguous.
Shi Mengyi looked at him, and she knew that she didn't need Lu Yao to answer this question; she had already begun to doubt her worldview.
By the time the car arrived at her dormitory, it was completely dark.
"Come in and sit for a while, let's chat."
"Um."
At this point, Lu Yao had actually developed some interest in Shi Mengyi.
Mei Ping, this investigator, is indeed quite cunning; she even uses psychological warfare to completely bewitch a spirited female team leader.
Shi Mengyi never dreamed that Mei Ping, a female bureau chief, would play such childish tricks.
And often the simplest methods are the most effective.
The two entered the house, and Shi Mengyi made tea for Lu Yao. The two drank tea facing each other.
No one said a word.
Lu Yao reached out and patted her on the shoulder:
"Don't be afraid, just tell me what's wrong. I won't refuse to help if I can."
Shi Mengyi looked up at Lu Yao, hesitating to speak.
Finally, a wry smile:
"Forget it, I'll just handle it myself. Chairman Mao taught us to 'do our own things,' which is called 'self-reliance.'"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Whatever you want. It's a professional novel website, providing the most comfortable reading experience. I hope you can handle it."
Shi Mengyi had a lot to say to Lu Yao, but she didn't completely trust him.
Her trust in Lu Yao was entirely based on her brother's praise of him.
So as soon as he arrived in Jiangzhou, he treated Lu Yao as a friend.
Although I had asked Lu Yao before if she had been involved in harming her brother, it was only because she was suspicious and I wanted to test her.
In the end, Lu Yao's calm demeanor gave her the illusion that Lu Yao had not participated at all, and that he should be a friend, not an enemy.
Now, Shi Mengyi is facing an unprecedented challenge. She wants to keep Lu Yao by her side, but she finds it difficult to bring it up.
Finally, I said, "Xiao Lu, you can drive the car back. It'll be more convenient for you to come and go this way. With me at work, no one will ask questions. I'll ask you for the car whenever the company needs it."
As he spoke, he took out several oil coupons from a box of malted milk powder next to him:
"Here you go. Remember to come visit me whenever you have time. I've been really bored lately."
Lu Yao looked at the oil coupons in her hand.
I felt a little emotional.
Shi Shouyin and Shi Mengyi were indeed good to me.
However, those who share different values should not work together; one should not be blinded by short-term gains.
They are nice to you for a reason.
If you join them in their corrupt ways, it will be a path of no return.
Although Lu Yao is not a good person, he would never do anything immoral.
They will not bully the weak, nor will they indiscriminately kill innocent people.
The Shi family and Jin Wanliang were not on the same path as him.
You can use them, but you can't confide in them!
Lu Yao has a bottom line.
He nodded and accepted it.
"Thank you, Team Leader Shi."
"Okay, I'll see you out."
Before Lu Yao could even leave, he suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from the wooden bed next door.
Then came Zhou Haiyan's "coughing" sound.
Lu Yao was an experienced driver, so he naturally knew what was going on next door.
Shi Mengyi paused for a moment, then frowned and said:
"What are they doing next door?"
Lu Yao smiled, said nothing, and continued walking out.
Shi Mengyi saw him off and watched him get into his car and leave.
Then he turned around and knocked on the window next door:
"Old Lei, I'm back."
"Oh dear, oh dear, I'm coming right now, wait a minute... Haiyan, where are my underwear...?"
Shi Mengyi was speechless.
Even if your wife is beautiful, it's not like you would want to sleep with her on your very first night in Jiangzhou.
Lei Dachun came out holding up his pants.
Shi Mengyi asked a question:
"Old Lei, can Chunyan sleep with me tonight?"
"Oh? Ah! Hmm... okay."
Lei Dachun never expected that Shi Mengyi contacted him for this reason.
I'm not done yet.
But our mission here is to protect the eldest daughter of the Shi family; we can't confuse our primary and secondary responsibilities.
"Wait for me, I'll call her."
Lei Dachun went back inside.
Then I heard him say in a low voice:
"Go on, Team Leader Shi wants you to protect her closely and live in the same room as her."
Zhou Haiyan, wrapped in a blanket, said, "I don't want to go. You're not done yet."
Lei Dachun sighed, "We'll talk about it another time. She's waiting."
"Okay, then give me your underwear."
Lei Dachun put on the wrong clothes in his haste when he got up just now.
He pulled down his clothes, and Zhou Haiyan let go of the blanket and stood up, waiting for Lei Dachun to take off his underwear for her.
Shi Mengyi was standing at the door waiting for Zhou Haiyan to come out...
Suddenly, she saw the door to her room creak open by itself.
"what!"
She screamed and rushed into Lei Dachun's room.
The lights in the room were set to 50 degrees, which was very bright.
The three of them were almost all stunned.
