Chapter 94: Not Making a Rash Move
Zhang Min did not know this ‘Lü Yang’ was the migrant worker who had rescued Liu Hui from the kidnappers. Liu Hui had only told Liu Jianhao Lü Yang’s name. Li Tingting, Liu Hui’s mother, had an opportunity to know Lü Yang’s name, but she never bothered to ask.
“Family is gone, occupation is a street-side renovation worker, just a tenant of Mei Jing, not any distant cousin of hers…”
“The background is simple, no major issues.”
“Relationship history is also simple… one girlfriend named Yi Ya, currently in university, studying art and design. Their relationship is very close, as if deeply in love…” Zhang Min frowned again.
“No wonder he refused my offer… turns out he’s a young guy wrapped up in romance…” Zhang Min narrowed her eyes in thought.
“Creating conflict between a young guy and his girlfriend should be easy…”
“I never thought I’d have to do such boring things again…”
“Let’s wait a few days, get Zheng Fan’s matter settled first. Must not let this handsome guy distract me and mess up important business!”
…
“Xiao Ya, want to have dinner together tonight?” In the afternoon, Lü Yang called Yi Ya on her mobile phone.
“Sure, where?”
“I bought an electric rice cooker, changed the gas canister, and bought lots of groceries. How about we cook at home?” Lü Yang suggested to Yi Ya.
“Alright. But… I don’t know how to cook anything…”
“I bought a cookbook, plus measuring cups and spoons. We can try together. Probably not too hard.”
“Haha, okay then. But you’re in charge, I’ll just be your helper.” Yi Ya immediately told him that.
“Well… okay… alright.” After agreeing, Lü Yang suddenly regretted it. If things went like this, if they really ended up together, wouldn’t all these chores fall on him?
Yi Yi was still better.
…
Yi Ya came back earlier than Lü Yang expected. When she arrived, Lü Yang was extremely busy.
They squeezed into the kitchen together, noisy and chaotic, but they finally managed to make dinner. At that moment, Lü Yang and Yi Ya were like a newlywed couple, hectic but with a hint of warmth and sweetness.
Eating the food he made with Yi Ya, Lü Yang thought again of Yi Yi’s virtues. He used to think Yi Yi’s cooking wasn’t great, but without comparison, he hadn’t realized. Now, the difference was clear.
He would make do. Besides, having a beauty for company… wasn’t there a saying, “Beauty is a feast for the eyes”?
After dinner, they squeezed together to wash dishes, but Lü Yang eventually shooed Yi Ya back to the living room. He didn’t want her delicate hands to become rough from such chores.
He was so biased! He had never been so considerate of Yi Yi before.
After washing dishes alone for a while, Lü Yang grew impatient. This really wasn’t something he enjoyed doing. He’d rather swing a hammer than wash plates.
Sigh… It would be best if… after rescuing Yi Yi, he could live with both sisters…
That way, he would have both daily life and love.
But the sisters would never agree.
Moreover, it wouldn’t be fair to Yi Yi either…
That night, after Lü Yang walked Yi Ya back and sat alone on his worn-out sofa, he closed his eyes and used the powerful functions of the Eerie Computer for various training sessions. A notification sound pulled him out of his training.
Someone was knocking.
Lü Yang thought Yi Ya had returned, so without thinking, he went and opened the door. Unexpectedly, it wasn’t Yi Ya at his doorstep, but a man and a woman he didn’t recognize.
Both were dressed entirely in Hei Yi. The man had an unlit cigar in his mouth. As soon as Lü Yang opened the door, he was forced back into the room by the dark muzzle of the man’s handgun. After the pair entered, they immediately closed the door. The man put away his gun, took out his work ID, flashed it in front of Lü Yang, then put it away.
“We are from the State Security Bureau. My code name is ‘Hidden Dragon’. Hers is ‘Exquisite’. We received intelligence confirming your involvement in several recent major cases that threaten national security. Please cooperate with our investigation.” The man codenamed ‘Hidden Dragon’ spoke coldly to Lü Yang.
“I don’t understand.” Although Lü Yang had heard of the State Security Bureau before, he had never dealt with them in real life. He was also displeased with their forceful entry into his rented room, but wary of their guns, he did not make any rash move.
Major cases threatening national security? Nonsense! At most, he had stolen a safe.
“No need to explain hastily. First, tell us how you rescued Miss Liu Hui of the Yida Group from the kidnappers. Then explain how you learned about the murder of Mei Jing’s husband and traveled hundreds of kilometers to Lutou Town, to Chen Yonggui’s house, to obtain that evidence…” The man snorted coldly, continuing his aggressive questioning.
Lü Yang gasped inwardly. It seemed these people knew his every move from the past few days perfectly well.
“Also, after personally experiencing the horrific accident on the Guicang Expressway, you must know exactly what Teacher Yi Qiuhong forgot, right?” The man spoke again, seemingly trying to overwhelm Lü Yang with a barrage of information before moving to the next step.
“What exactly do you want?” Lü Yang narrowed his eyes, questioning them while rapidly thinking, trying to deduce their true intentions.
They… couldn’t know about the Eerie Computer, could they? The State Security Bureau…
Before this, Lü Yang had suspected he wasn’t the only one with an Eerie Computer in the world, that others might share his plight.
No… They didn’t mention the deaths of the four porters in Qingyuan Residential Area…
But that didn’t prove anything.
“Your every move is under our surveillance. Answer the three questions I asked truthfully, or you will be in serious trouble.” The man threatened Lü Yang further.
“Trouble? Do you really think the two of you can trouble me?” A cold light flashed in Lü Yang’s eyes. Without knowing their true identities, he didn’t want to lose the upper hand in terms of demeanor.
Hearing this, the man’s expression changed slightly, clearly showing more caution.
“Do you know the special privileges granted to the State Security Bureau? Because you threaten national security, if I shoot you dead tonight, no one will know. You will be erased from the world. Don’t you think that’s trouble enough?” The man raised his handgun again, pressing it against Lü Yang’s forehead.
“Do you really think you can kill me? If you dare pull the trigger, I guarantee it won’t be me erased from this world tonight, but the two of you.” Lü Yang snorted coldly, his gaze full of disdain.
Lü Yang wasn’t boasting without reason, but he also didn’t want to waste his precious Eerie Points on them for no cause.
When the man and woman heard Lü Yang use the word “erased”, their expressions clearly shifted oddly.
“Alright, even if you aren’t afraid of trouble, your little girlfriend Yi Ya and her family might face some trouble. Do you think your individual strength can stand against the powerful machinery of the state?” The man’s aggressive tone had obviously diminished, but he continued his threats.
