Chapter 143 If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs?
"Hmm..." Duan Yuchen made a low and long nasal sound. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Several seconds passed before this simple word was squeezed out of his nasal cavity with difficulty.
Today, Duan Yuchen once again stepped into the land where he once shed his youth and blood - the army. The bits and pieces of the past came to his mind like a tide, and those memories of laughter or sadness were constantly playing in his mind like movie scenes. Although he has been in Jicheng for these years, seemingly far away from that past, in fact, every night is a nightmare, and he has hardly slept a good night. It can be seen that what happened that year was like a heavy yoke, deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, bringing him indelible trauma.
When he stepped on this familiar land again, the soldiers' passionate and powerful training slogans echoed in his ears, and the unique and friendly smell lingered in his nose. The grass, trees, bricks and tiles in front of him were still the same. However, time flies, and the comrades who once fought side by side here have left the world forever. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Duan Yuchen's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Endless emotion and sadness were like surging waves, hitting his strong heart wave after wave.
However, Duan Yuchen has always been a deep and introverted person, and he never easily shows his emotions. No matter how much pressure and pain he is under, he always silently buries everything deep in his heart and digests it alone. Although Feng Bo noticed the subtle changes in his emotions, he knew Duan Yuchen's personality and temper very well, so he did not dare to ask rashly. He just worried in his heart: I wonder if Duan Yuchen can bear the torture brought by this heavy memory?
At this moment, Duan Yuchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were firm and sharp, and he said to Feng Bo: "Send a few more people to Dong Lei and ask him to protect Qiao Jing's safety!" After that, he closed his eyes again and said no more.
"Okay." Feng Bo frowned slightly, still unable to hide his worry, and asked softly: "Mr. Duan, do you think Miss Qiao can really find the real culprit behind the framing of Mu Kaiyuan in just three days? After all, this matter seems complicated and not so easy to solve."
"Let her gain some experience first. If it doesn't work, I'm still here!" Duan Yuchen said lovingly, with tenderness and trust flashing in his eyes.
Feng Bo noticed that when Duan Yuchen said this, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his handsome face. Whenever the name Qiao Jingyu was mentioned, Duan Yuchen would become particularly happy and relaxed.
Thinking of this, Feng Bo couldn't help but make a plan in his mind. He would call Qiao Jingyu later and tell her that Mr. Duan was not feeling well and needed someone to take care of him, and asked her to come and accompany Mr. Duan. It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and the two of them were alone in a room, accompanying each other. Maybe their feelings would heat up while they were chatting, and it was possible that they would roll into bed in the end. If things continued like this, they might be able to give birth to two smart, cute and beautiful babies next year, and the old lady would definitely be very happy then.
Just as Feng Bo was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, Duan Yuchen's cold and indifferent voice suddenly came: "Don't disturb her, let her concentrate on investigating the case."
After being scolded by Duan Yuchen, Feng Bo instantly came back to his senses from his fantasy and responded dejectedly, "Oh!" He muttered to himself, Mr. Duan is too amazing, how come he knows exactly what I am thinking!
When Qiao Jingyu and Song Yang finished their meal, Lu Jinghai's family member information was sent over.
Qiao Jingyu quickly opened the file in front of her and began to browse it quickly. Her eyes were like lightning, scanning the densely packed text on the page at a glance, eager to find valuable clues and information from it. However, the files in front did not seem to provide much useful information for her, which made her frown slightly.
But just when she was about to feel disappointed, a document about Lu Jinghai's son Lu Xingyuan caught her eye. Qiao Jingyu instantly perked up, staring at the document closely, and read it carefully word by word. When she finished reading, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she had discovered a treasure. Then, she handed the document in her hand to Song Yang beside her without hesitation, and asked expectantly: "Brother Song, do you think this information is true and reliable?"
Song Yang took the document and also examined the information about Lu Xingyuan with full concentration. He carefully checked every detail, not missing any clues. After a while, he looked up, nodded solemnly, and replied: "Yes, this Lu Xingyuan is a well-known dandy and playboy. He relies on his father Lu Jinghai's wealth and power to do nothing all day long, looking for pleasure everywhere, not to mention spending money on wine and women, and always likes to make trouble. Some time ago, he was even arrested by the police for taking drugs in a bar, but no one knows where Lu Jinghai got the connection, and he was released safely not long after."
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu fell into a brief contemplation. After a moment, she asked again: "So, do you know where he usually goes?" Song Yang shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know. Seeing this, Qiao Jingyu did not give up, and then asked again: "Then you should know where the most famous bars in Haicheng are located?"
Song Yang thought for a moment and said, "The most famous bar in Haicheng should be the Night Boat. I heard that the decoration inside is extremely luxurious. Only members of the club are eligible to enter the third floor. The sons of wealthy families like to go there to show off."
"Okay, let's go there too." Qiao Jingyu said as he walked out.
After hearing this, Song Yang frowned and looked at Qiao Jingyu with a strange look.
Originally, because of Qiao Jingyu's performance in the army, Song Yang thought that Qiao Jingyu was a resourceful and steady girl. But now, there is no clue about the teacher's case, and she is still thinking about finishing it. It seems that she is still too young and not stable enough.
Seeing the way Song Yang looked at her, Qiao Jingyu knew that he must have misunderstood her. She smiled and said, "I'm not going there to have fun. I still have to buy clothes and put on makeup. Let's go. I'll explain to you on the way. We are in a tight time and have a heavy task to accomplish."
Song Yang was obviously a little unconvinced, he just sat there without moving.
Qiao Jingyu was really anxious, "Let's go, do you really want to save your teacher?"
Song Yang still looked doubtful. What does going to the bar have to do with saving the teacher?
But he couldn't help but follow Qiao Jingyu as he watched her leave. Even if there was only a one in ten million chance, he didn't want to give up.
The car stopped at Night Boat, and Qiao Jingyu was about to get off. Song Yang said to Qiao Jingyu with a worried look on his face, "Are you sure you want to do this? Isn't it dangerous?"
"Haven't you already made arrangements on your end?" Qiao Jingyu said with a relaxed look on her face.
"It's arranged, but..."
"Okay, nothing ventured, nothing gained." Qiao Jingyu gave Song Yang a reassuring look, then said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Then she got out of the car and walked towards the bar.
