Lu Ning was startled and turned around to see Lu Nanfeng standing outside the car window.

She felt a little awkward. What was he doing here?

After being interrupted, Ji Chiqian's eyes darkened considerably; he found the Lu family increasingly displeasing.

Lu Nanfeng stood by the car window, somewhat angrily: "Get out of the car!"

Lu Ning wiped her mouth. She was a little nervous at first, but after seeing Lu Nanfeng's expression, she quickly calmed down.

She rolled down the car window and looked at Lu Nanfeng outside: "Is something the matter?"

Lu Ning's expression was indifferent, as if the person in front of her was a complete stranger.

Lu Nanfeng was a little angry and glanced at Ji Chiqian behind Lu Ning: "Ningning, why are you still with him?"

Lu Ning retorted, "Why can't I be with him?"

“He’s not right for you. This man has an unknown background and an ordinary job. He’s only after your status.”

Lu Nanfeng had always harbored a prejudice against this man. He used to be a school doctor in their hometown, but now that Lu Ning had just arrived in Yunjing, this man had followed her there as well.

Isn't this just blatantly clinging to Lu Ning?

Lu Ning chuckled and said, "No matter who he is, I like him."

“Ningning, you are still young. Because we didn’t treat you well back then, this man took advantage of your vulnerability to show you concern. But your second brother can see clearly that he is not a good person.”

"That's enough. Whether he's a good person or not is none of your business."

Lu Nanfeng looked directly at Ji Chiqian: "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to touch a single hair on Ningning's head, or our Lu family will absolutely not let you off the hook."

"And what good is your Lu family?"

Ji Chiqian's tone was extremely cold: "She almost got into trouble last night. Is this what your Lu family calls being good to her? This kind of 'goodness' would land you in jail for years. Who the hell would want your Lu family's 'goodness'?"

Lu Nanfeng was speechless for a moment.

He clung tightly to the car door: "What happened last night was an accident."

"Why is it that your Lu family has so many mishaps? I hope that one day all these mishaps will fall on the heads of your Lu brothers. With Lu Ning by my side, there will never be any mishaps."

After Ji Chiqian finished speaking, he started the vehicle and drove off.

Lu Nanfeng chased after them, saying, "Ningning, get out of the car first. I have something to tell you."

But Lu Ning rolled up the car window and completely ignored Lu Nanfeng outside.

The car became much quieter.

Lu Ning turned her head to look at him: "Your mouth is as sharp as ever."

"I don't usually swear, but I can't help it when I see them."

Lu Ning smiled, and soon her phone rang. She didn't even need to look to know who was calling.

She didn't answer.

Ji Chiqian drove for a while, then asked, "Where do you want to go?"

“We went to TG PR firm, and they found some clues.”

Ji Chiqian thought for a moment and said, "I suggest going to the gym. There are too many people and too many eyes at the PR company."

The main problem is that if he goes to TG Company, his identity will no longer be able to be hidden.

After he finished speaking, he seemed somewhat uncertain.

But Lu Ning nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After all, the investigation into Qin Xiang's father must be kept secret; if the person behind the scenes finds out, they will definitely hide it.

It won't be so easy to find fault with them then.

Ji Chiqian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her agree.

Lu Ning messaged someone at TG Company and arranged to meet at the gym.

After arriving at the gym, the two went to the boxing area.

Lu Ning took out her red gloves: "I really like this gift."

She looked up and saw Ji Chiqian approaching. Her gaze unconsciously fell on his thin lips, and she remembered the kiss that had been interrupted earlier.

He stood in front of her, bent down and leaned closer: "Then I want a gift too."

What do you want...?

He didn't say the rest of his words; he swallowed them all.

Ji Chiqian stood in front of her, bent down and hugged her waist, his lips pressed tightly against hers, tenderly.

Lu Ning wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to him with great joy.

Ji Chiqian pulled her into his arms and kissed her, his hands tightly gripping her waist, his palms burning hot.

Lu Ning was so overwhelmed by the kisses that her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

Finally, Ji Chiqian stopped, his voice hoarse: "They should have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning immediately became much more alert.

She almost forgot that she had come to the gym today to meet the PR team, but instead she was here flirting with Ji Chiqian.

She blushed and tried to get out of his arms, but the man wouldn't let go.

He rested his chin on her shoulder: "Let me hold you a little longer."

"But they've all arrived, and it's not good to see them like this."

Lu Ning's voice was very soft, and she seemed embarrassed.

Ji Chiqian still didn't let go: "They arrived a long time ago, there's no rush."

Lu Ning, her face flushed, nestled in his arms, the strong, steady beat of his heart ringing in her ears. Recalling the scene of their kiss just moments before, her mind went completely blank; she couldn't remember anything.

After a long while, Ji Chiqian finally let go.

Lu Ning blushed and said, "I...I'll go out and take a look first."

Her retreating figure conveyed a sense of panic and flight. Ji Chiqian glanced at her and chuckled softly.

Lu Ning went outside and rubbed her face. She needed to calm down; it wasn't good to keep others waiting.

She looked up and sure enough, she saw the three members of the TG PR team running on the treadmill.

When Li Man saw Lu Ning, she immediately came over and said, "I saw you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you. We can also get some exercise, which is good for our health."

Lu Ning was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

"It's nothing, meeting at the gym is fine, I can get some exercise during work hours."

Li Man's words quickly dispelled Lu Ning's concerns. "Just kidding, when the young master is being affectionate with his girlfriend, who would dare to go and disturb them?"

Anyway, as long as the heir of the Ji family gets involved, is there anything that can't be resolved?

Lu Ning arrived at the boxing ring with her PR team and saw Ji Chiqian sitting next to her, holding a bottle of mineral water.

He spoke directly: "Go ahead and say it."

Li Man replied: "Miss Lu, we hacked into the Lu family's surveillance system last night and found that someone broke into the Lu family villa in the middle of the night. However, the person seemed to know the Lu family's surveillance setup very well. Apart from a back view, we hardly captured their face."

"If Qin Xiang knew about the Lu family's surveillance setup, then she must have told them beforehand."

"That's our guess too, but we're checking nearby surveillance footage and have found several suspicious vehicles. We're investigating and ruling them out one by one, but it will take a little time."

Lu Ning knew it wouldn't be easy.

Fortunately, this time Qin Xiang's father was forced to risk killing someone, which means that her initial idea was correct.

If Qin Xiang is driven to a dead end, the person hiding behind the scenes will definitely come forward.

Lu Ning nodded: "It's good to have clues, which means we can definitely find out the truth."

Ji Chiqian patted her head: "There are no secrets that last forever in this world. It's only a matter of time before they are found out. You did a great job."

"It's a pity that the butler was killed and took all the blame, so we still can't deal with Qin Xiang."

Lu Ning thought she could get Qin Xiang imprisoned this time.

Her tone was slightly regretful: "I suspect this isn't the first time Qin Xiang's father has done this. Do you remember the second little follower who cheated with Qin Xiang during the college entrance exam? He was eventually found hanged. I suspect Qin Xiang's father was behind that too."

Qin Xiang's father killed people so easily, so his parents' deaths must have been related to him!

This was not a simple car accident!

Ji Chiqian also found it strange; that driver was indeed very suspicious.

He said, "Since we've discovered some clues, we'll definitely find out what happened. I guarantee it."

Once he finds out the truth about the car accident, will Lu Ning feel less hatred towards him?

Lu Ning nodded and said, "The charity foundation is having a fundraising event tomorrow. Bai Lianhua will definitely try to sabotage it. This time, we must get evidence of her embezzlement. Let's see how she denies it then!"

After she and Ji Chiqian finished their couplet-writing session at the gym, they also had dinner together.

Ji Chiqian escorted her back to the Lu family home: "Call me anytime if anything happens. Don't be reckless. Let me handle things like this. Don't get your hands dirty."

"I know."

Lu Ning is growing to like him more and more.

After getting out of the car, she waved and walked directly into the Lu family villa.

But the hall was brightly lit, and all the brothers were there. Bai Lianhua sat next to Lu Dongyou.

Lu Ning raised her eyelids slightly: "Everyone's here, in a meeting?"

Lu Dongyou was the first to question: "Didn't your second brother say that you broke up with that poor school doctor a long time ago? How come you're still fooling around with that man? Lu Ning, are you that desperate for a man?"
