Chapter 74: Wouldn’t That Expose Everything?

“It’s not worth ruining your entire life over a scumbag like that.” Lu Yunzheng couldn’t help but sigh.

Chen Wei, however, looked up at the night sky in the distance. “Ever since Aning committed suicide, my life was already ruined. But Captain Lu, I’m still glad that you’re willing to trust me.”

“You will always be my comrade. We’re just fighting side by side in a different place now.” Lu Yunzheng patted Chen Wei’s shoulder firmly. “I won’t say too much advice, you’ve got your own ideas. If you need help, just let me know.”

“Got it.” Chen Wei’s gaze shifted to the figure of Luo Qianyun through the car window. He smiled at Lu Yunzheng. “I used to show off to you, saying I had the best girlfriend and even wanted to let you see her so you could envy me. Maybe it’s karma, you never met Ah Ning, but I met your girlfriend.”

“She’s brave, beautiful, and a great match for you. But…” Chen Wei’s eyes reddened as he spoke. “Still, my Ah Ning was the best.”

Chen Wei declined Lu Yunzheng’s offer to see him off. He turned and walked away, waving his hand as he disappeared into the darkness…

Once Lu Yunzheng got into the car, Luo Qianyun, still curious about Chen Wei, asked, “Wasn’t he one of the guys under Brother Biao? Did you turn him over?”

“It’s not really turning him over. He used to be my comrade. We fought side by side for several years…” Lu Yunzheng replied quietly.

“Then why did he follow Brother Biao? Was he an undercover?” Luo Qianyun was even more curious.

“There aren’t that many undercover agents,” Lu Yunzheng said helplessly. “If he was, it wouldn’t have been in a lowlife like Brother Biao.”

At that, Luo Qianyun handed him a bag of chips. “I’ll give you all the chips. Now tell me everything…”

Looking at the chips, Lu Yunzheng sighed before picking one up and feeding it to her. “He retired three years ago, but never told anyone the real reason. I only learned it when I met him this time. His girlfriend committed suicide, and he wanted to get revenge for her. At the same time, he also wanted to take care of her only family, so he chose to retire.”

Luo Qianyun, eating the chips, was surprised. She hadn’t expected him to have such a past.

“Was his girlfriend’s death related to Brother Biao?” she asked.

“Yes. To get revenge, he’s been lurking around Brother Biao all these years, collecting evidence of his crimes. Now, he’s handed everything to the police. Even if it doesn’t kill Brother Biao, he’ll never get out again.” Lu Yunzheng said.

Thinking for a moment, Lu Yunzheng added, “Coincidentally, his girlfriend’s grandmother lives in your third hospital. We should visit her tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Luo Qianyun nodded.

By this point, it was getting quite late, and Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but yawn, her eyes growing heavy.

Immediately, Lu Yunzheng pulled her into his lap. “Take a nap for now.”

“Mm.” Luo Qianyun sat in Lu Yunzheng’s arms, planning to just rest for a bit, but before she knew it, she was fast asleep.

Poor Bai Minghui, ever since Lu Yunzheng got in the car, he had become the designated driver, not daring to speak a word, lest he disturb Luo Qianyun’s sleep.

By the time they reached Lu Yunzheng’s house, Bai Minghui quickly went to the guest room. Fortunately, he had been here once before and didn’t need a guide.

Lu Yunzheng carefully carried Luo Qianyun to her room. His steady steps ensured that she didn’t wake up.

But, when he placed her on the bed, he was still gentle, though she woke up.

Luo Qianyun, still groggy, looked at the bed behind her, then at Lu Yunzheng in front of her. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his leg.

Her waist was already quite a sensitive spot. With her face pressed against his abs, the warmth from his clothes made Lu Yunzheng uneasy, worried about showing weakness.

“Aren’t you sleepy?” Lu Yunzheng asked, gently rubbing her head.

“I need a shower, or I’ll smell bad,” Luo Qianyun murmured.

“Then hurry up and go wash. Why are you clinging to me?” Lu Yunzheng’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Luo Qianyun replied, “Not only do I want to hug you, I also want…”

“What else do you want?” Lu Yunzheng asked, a little curious.

“Mm~ I want to sit on your abs.” Luo Qianyun looked up at him, her eyes filled with mischief.

“Be good, don’t tease.” Lu Yunzheng suppressed the deeper emotions in his eyes, not wanting to scare her.

“Okay, I won’t tease. I’ll go shower now.” Luo Qianyun said, and without hesitation, she pulled away and rushed off to the bathroom.

Lu Yunzheng couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. Wasn’t she even a little reluctant?

Luo Qianyun was like a happy little bird, humming as she ran to the bathroom.

Before Lu Yunzheng could leave the room, Luo Qianyun opened the bathroom door slightly, sticking her head out. “Lu Yunzheng, could you grab my pajamas? They’re in the closet; just pull it open, and you’ll see.”

“I’ll go out first; you can get it yourself.” Lu Yunzheng could imagine that if he opened the closet, he’d find more than just her pajamas.

“But what if a pervert spies on me? Wouldn’t I be exposed?” Luo Qianyun said, sounding dissatisfied.

Lu Yunzheng understood now—she wanted him to fetch the pajamas.

As he turned around, Luo Qianyun called out, “Remember to get me the panties too, the ones with the little bear on them.”

“Got it.” Lu Yunzheng’s ears turned slightly red, but he maintained his composure as he opened the closet.

He found the pajamas, but no panties.

“They’re in the drawer,” Luo Qianyun reminded him just in time, as if she could sense his discomfort.

However, when he opened the drawer, he found a bunch of bras.

Lu Yunzheng quickly averted his gaze, closed the drawer, and opened the one beside it.

This time, he got it right—but no little bear design.

His ears were burning with embarrassment as he fumbled through the clothes. His hands, usually steady even with a gun, were shaking a little.

Why was the little bear so hard to find? Was it black or brown?

After a lot of searching, he didn’t find the little bear, but he did find a rabbit stuffed toy.

“Lu Yunzheng, are you still there? If you’re not, I’ll come out myself,” Luo Qianyun called out.

“I’m still here, don’t come out.” Lu Yunzheng continued searching and eventually found a little black-and-white panda bear.

Relieved, Lu Yunzheng wiped the sweat from his brow, then took the pajamas and panties to Luo Qianyun.

He couldn’t help but think back to when he had been in a similar situation. At that time, Luo Qianyun must have been just as nervous.

That thought made him smile.

Luo Qianyun stuck her head out again, reaching for the pajamas. “Where’s my little panties?”

“It’s inside,” Lu Yunzheng replied helplessly.

“Now that’s more like it. You go shower first, and I’ll come find you later,” Luo Qianyun said, closing the bathroom door.

Lu Yunzheng froze. Later… she was coming to find him?
