Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1045: Bai Xiaonian’s Hair Was Tied Up in a Ponytail

He was spot on. The veins on the beauty’s temples started popping as she restrained her expression. “Mr. Lu, my private matters have nothing to do with you…”

Lu Jinnan’s gaze slowly shifted away from the mark left behind by a ring on the woman’s finger. He smiled. “Did your husband find you too boring, with you putting on a high-and-mighty attitude all day, and get a mistress outside? Is that why he wanted a divorce?”

Seeing that beauty’s expression, Lu Jinnan made a “tsk” sound.

“It seems like I was spot on!” Lu Jinnan laughed. “Let me guess. Your position should be quite high… I’m guessing you were busy with work all day, and work was more like your companion than your husband. The two of you barely had sex more than a handful of times a year!”

The beauty’s eyes narrowed.

“Tsk… spot on again!” Lu Jinnan nonchalantly tapped the cigarette ash away, shaking his head. “If I were your husband, I’d definitely divorce you as well. Never mind the fact that you’re too boring, but you also like to act like you have everything under control. But is everything really under your control?”

The beauty really wanted to give Lu Jinnan a few tight slaps, but she held herself back. She smiled at Lu Jinnan in a professional manner. “So, Mr. Lu, what information did Mr. Ran Chaoqian bring you exactly?”

“Speaking of which, I’d like to ask. You detained our country’s specialists in the US. How many advanced turbines did you get our country’s specialists to develop for your country?”

Lu Jinnan was clearly immune to all sorts of tactics. Never mind that, he was superb at pissing the interrogators off too.

“It seems like you’re fond of this place, Mr. Lu, and would like to have a prolonged stay here…”

“Just tell me you like me if that’s the case. Although you’re not my type, I can manage to take two glances at you!” Lu Jinnan replied very quickly, the smile on his lips a superficial one.

The woman seated opposite Lu Jinnan finally lost her patience. She got up and walked out of the room, her chair making a particularly loud sound as it scratched the ground.

Then there was the sound of high heels clacking, followed by the door slamming. Lu Jinnan’s smile widened, and he exhaled a thin puff of smoke from his lips in a carefree manner.

“I think that time isn’t enough. We need to deprive him of more sleep…”

After leaving the interrogation room, the woman from earlier spoke as she looked at Lu Jinnan through the glass window.

Just then, their colleague came running in and said, “The secretary of state’s office called and told us to release him if we don’t get anything out of the interrogation!”

“Release him?” The woman was shocked.

“Right, they said to release him…” The messenger nodded.

“Releasing him just because of an ambassador’s son? There’s definitely a problem with this Lu Jinnan. He’s definitely a spy!”

“Evidence?” The woman’s boss spoke with a solemn face. “We have no evidence!”

“Old trick!” the woman said.

The old trick was to fabricate evidence despite there being no evidence.

“The higher-ups won’t allow it! Right now, the Chinese are parading in protest, demanding the release of this Mr. Lu. Even our citizens are participating in it. I heard the chairman of the Kaide Corporation is in the US already. It seems like even the De Niro Company is speaking up on this issue. The higher-ups are under great pressure. Moreover, there’s that wife of Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian. Our embassy ambassador’s son is also in their hands. Forget it… release him!”

Although the woman’s chest was still aching from the exchange and she couldn’t take it lying down, since their boss had spoken, who would dare detain Lu Jinnan further?

“But Lu Jinnan has injuries on his body. His identity is special, and the media is giving this matter great attention. If we let him walk out with his injuries, we’re probably going to be in trouble too.”

“The deed’s already done. I’ll arrange for someone else to go in to apologize to Lu Jinnan and send him away respectfully!”

“But…”

The lady wanted to argue some more, but they had already turned and left.

Lu Jinnan sat there in a relaxed manner. He took a puff of his cigarette, then tapped the corner of his lips with his thumb. He realized that because he had spoken too much earlier, the corners of his lips were bleeding again.

Ever since Lu Jinnan was brought back to this interrogation room, his heart was put at ease…

He was now certain he would be able to leave this place. According to what the US usually did, Lu Jinnan must personally admit that he was a spy before he would be released from that room. Otherwise… Lu Jinnan wasn’t sure he would have been able to survive much longer in the spy interrogation room earlier.

Just as Lu Jinnan expected, very quickly, someone came in and told him that they had captured the wrong person. They arranged another room for Lu Jinnan and let him wash up. They also attended to his wounds.

Lu Jinnan sat there and didn’t move. He took out a cigarette. “Do you think this matter is over just because you said you captured the wrong person?”

He tossed the pack of cigarettes onto the table and sneered. “You captured the wrong person, and I suffered a beating. Furthermore, I was tied up and beaten… Was this appropriate?”

“Mr. Lu, we’re very sorry about this. We will obviously give you some compensation as well…”

“Compensation?” Lu Jinnan looked up and lit a cigarette. “Tell me about it…”

The guy who came to release Lu Jinnan was stumped. Wouldn’t most people nod in agreement and then go out to talk with their leader after hearing this? Why was this Mr. Lu so unpredictable?

“I was told that you would be compensated, but the details of the compensation are up to the higher-ups. I was sent here to take you for a shower and attend to your wounds. Afterward, our team leader will come and talk to you!” The guy was still very professional.

“Pass a message to your team leader. Tell him to get those few guys who strapped me to a chair and beat me up to come over. Let me beat them up, and I’ll let this matter rest! I know that you’re contemplating how the media is going to write about this injury on my face. Well… you can just tell them that I willingly sparred with those people. The few of us would have injuries on our faces then anyway, so things could be explained clearly…”

The guy was speechless.

“Mr. Lu, please don’t make things difficult for me. I’m only responsible for taking you to have your wounds attended to and to let you shower and change your clothes!”

“Why didn’t you get a beauty to come over for this? You and I are both men, so how are we going to shower and change clothes?” Lu Jinnan laughed and looked at the guy.

The guy was speechless.

The door opened again. The guy looked towards the door, standing perfectly straight. Lu Jinnan also turned back.

This time, Lu Jinnan saw their team leader, Jacksel.

Because Jacksel was a Westerner, his eyes appeared particularly deep-set.

He made a motion for his subordinate to go out and then walked to Lu Jinnan. He sat at the desk, took out a tablet computer, and played the video of Bai Xiaonian aggressively questioning the spokesperson…

Bai Xiaonian’s hair was tied up in a ponytail, and her beautiful features looked solemn as she stood there looking like a brave warrior, speaking in a sonorous voice.
