The reason why Lu Boyan kept hiding the fact that Xu Youning was an undercover agent from Su Jianan was because he was worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand such a big stimulation.
But now, Su Jianan's reaction was calmer than he expected.
Lu Boyan became confused: "Have you discovered it a long time ago?"
Su Jianan casually took a pillow and stuffed it into her arms, resting her chin on it: "There were several times when I just felt something was wrong, but I didn't expect anything was really wrong."
Lu Boyan frowned: "When did you find out?"
Su Jianan replied casually: "The first time was in the hospital. You Ning and I were hospitalized together. You Ning came to see me, and your eyes suddenly became very defensive. At that time, apart from you and me, You Ning was the only one in the ward. But I really can’t think of a reason for you to be on guard against You Ning, so I didn’t ask you anything.”
Lu Boyan didn't expect Xu Youning to find out the clues so early, and asked with interest: "When else would I reveal my secret?"
"And on the island." Su Jian'an said, "I found that you always intentionally or unintentionally avoid being alone with You Ning."
Lu Boyan thought he had done everything without leaving any trace, but he didn't expect Su Jianan to notice it.
He pressed his temples with a headache and looked at Su Jianan: "Is it true that nothing can escape your eyes?"
"Who said no?" Su Jianan tilted her head and said half seriously and half jokingly, "You do a good job of hiding the fact that you like me. I give you full marks for your acting skills!"
"..." Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and reluctantly changed the subject, "Are you sleepy? Let's go back to the room."
Su Jianan took Lu Boyan's hand and followed him back to the room.
Lu Boyan hadn't taken a shower yet. After watching Su Jianan lie down, he turned and entered the bathroom. Su Jianan hugged the quilt and stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep.
Undercover…
These two words are too far away from ordinary people's lives. She couldn't imagine what Xu Youning went through under Kang Ruicheng before becoming an undercover agent who could perform tasks alone.
After going through too many cruel trainings, Xu Youning was able to conceal her identity perfectly for more than a year, making her look like an ordinary person.
Now that Grandma Xu has left this world, has Xu Youning ever thought about coming back and living a normal life
Thinking of this, Su Jian'an realized that she still didn't want to believe that Xu Youning meant to hurt her.
After a while, Lu Boyan came out of the bathroom and saw Su Jianan staring at the ceiling thoughtfully. He walked over and lay down next to her: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Su Jianan leaned back and leaned into Lu Boyan's arms: "I can't sleep..."
Lu Boyan sighed lightly and hugged Su Jianan: "Xu Youning is very valued by Kangruicheng. She will live a better life if she returns to Kangruicheng."
"I'm not worried about this." Su Jian'an shook her head, "I was just thinking that maybe Youning didn't know that Kang Ruicheng wanted those documents to threaten me, so she later disobeyed Kang Ruicheng's order and handed over evidence for Ms. Lu proved her innocence. She probably wanted to use this to compensate for the harm she had caused to me... "
Lu Boyan knew that Su Jianan tried his best to find excuses for Xu Youning because he didn't want to lose Xu Youning as a friend.
His chin rested on Su Jianan's shoulder: "You think Xu Youning is innocent and you think she is a good person, just because you forgot that Xu Youning has been acting when facing you. Jian An, the Xu Youning you have in your mind is fake. We Never really got to know her.”
Lu Boyan's words seemed irrefutable, but Su Jianan just felt something was wrong.
A person's mouth can lie, but body movements cannot hide it from her eyes. She doesn't believe that Xu Youning has been acting on her.
"Forget it, take one step and then count the other." Su Jianan struggled and gave up, "Go to sleep first."
"Yes." Lu Boyan kissed Su Jianan's shoulder, "Good night."
Su Jianan closed her eyes, and not long after, she fell asleep peacefully in Lu Boyan's arms.
A few hours later, the next day's morning light disperses the early morning mist, and a new day arrives again.
Lu Boyan washed up and finished breakfast, but Su Jianan was still awake. Before going out, he had to go back to his room.
Su Jianan was still lying on the bed, about to wake up, looking sleepy. Lu Boyan pressed a kiss on her forehead: "I'm going to the company."
"Yes." Su Jianan opened her eyes and responded lazily. She suddenly felt fetal movement while speaking and was stunned. Then she grabbed Lu Boyan's hand and put it on her belly, and said to Lu Boyan with a smile. , "They might have heard it!"
Lu Boyan gently stroked Xu Youning's bulging belly, and the smile on his lips unconsciously became gentle.
Su Jianan put her hands around his neck: "Have you told my brother about Grandma Xu?"
Lu Boyan said: "He is going to the company to talk to me about something today. I plan to tell him during lunch."
Su Jianan lowered her eyebrows: "When my brother was very young, Grandma Xu took care of him. When he heard the news of Grandma Xu's death, he must have been more sad than me... "
Lu Boyan brushed the black hair from Su Jianan's forehead: "Your brother has experienced more things than you think. He knows that he should accept this kind of news calmly. You don't need to worry about him."
Su Jianan said "hmm" and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside: "It's eight o'clock. You go to the company. See you in the evening."
"See you tonight." Lu Boyan kissed Su Jianan's lips again before turning and leaving the room.
After going downstairs, Lu Boyan directly told Uncle Qian: "Go to the company."
When we arrived at Lu's, it was exactly nine o'clock. As soon as Lu Boyan entered the office, the secretary in charge of his schedule followed him and briefly reported to him today's work schedule. Finally, he told him: "Mr. Su from Cheng'an Group has arrived. , waiting for you in conference room No. 1."
Lu Boyan looked at his watch. It was almost time and said, "Go to the conference room."
Lu's and Cheng'an Group are collaborating on a project recently. The final relevant matters can be negotiated today and the contract can be signed. Outsiders know that this is a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. It is said that this is a powerful alliance between the two giants in the market. It is extremely rare. .
Of course, the person who facilitated this spectacle was Su Jianan.
After signing the contract, both parties shook hands and said politely that they hoped for a pleasant cooperation in the future. However, Lu Boyan's tone was a little heavy: "Yicheng, you stay, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, the others hurriedly left the conference room. Not long after, only Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng were left in the huge conference room.
After the cooperation was negotiated, Su Yicheng was obviously in a good mood. He spread his hands and asked Lu Boyan: "Why, do you still have something to discuss with me?"
"No." Lu Boyan said, "I have some bad news that I should let you know."
The smile on Su Yicheng's lips faded: "What's wrong with Jian An?"
"It's not Jian An." After a long pause, Lu Boyan continued, "It's Xu Youning and Grandma Xu."
Su Yicheng was relieved to hear that it was not Su Jian'an, but the second half of the sentence that followed was like a bomb exploding in his mind.
During this period, he was busy preparing for the wedding and had little time to contact Grandma Xu. He originally planned to call Xu Youning in the next few days and bring Grandma Xu to City A to attend his wedding.
But now, Lu Boyan wants to tell him bad news about Grandma Xu
After a while, Su Yicheng managed to steady his voice: "What's wrong with Grandma Xu?"
Lu Boyan said slowly: "She died unexpectedly."
passed away…
These two words have been away from Su Yicheng for more than ten years.
More than ten years ago, he lost his mother and was in agony. He never wanted to try the heart-wrenching pain again.
But now, he has lost another important relative.
Su Yicheng's voice couldn't stop trembling: "What's going on?"
"According to the police, it was because Mu Sijue sent people to search Xu's house that Grandma Xu accidentally fell and left on the way to the hospital." Lu Boy's words were concise and to the point.
Su Yicheng immediately grasped the key point: "Why did Mu Sijue send people to search the Xu family? Isn't You Ning following him?"
"Actually, Xu Youning is an undercover agent sent by Kang Ruicheng." Lu Boyan said, "Her identity was discovered by Si Jue."
Su Yicheng quickly connected the whole thing: "Because Mu Sijue discovered that You Ning was an undercover agent, he sent people to the Xu family to search for evidence, which led to the death of Grandma Xu?"
Lu Boyan pressed his temples: "Xu Youning thinks so too. She identified Si Jue as the murderer who killed Grandma Xu. I can only tell you that this is not the case."
"What do you mean?" Su Yicheng's eyes were blazing, "If this is not the case, then what is it like?"
"Si Jue will not attack an innocent old man." Lu Boyan met Su Yicheng's gaze, "Xu Youning is Kang Ruicheng's best undercover agent, and Kang Ruicheng's biggest opponent is Si Jue. Think about it, let Xu Youning think Si Jue is the murderer of her grandmother, who benefits the most?"
In an instant, Su Yicheng understood everything. He was no longer obsessed with the truth about Grandma Xu's death, but was worried about Xu Youning.
"How is Youning doing now? Where is she?" Su Yicheng's tone showed concern.
Lu Boyan told the truth one by one, but Su Yicheng couldn't figure it out: "Why didn't Mu Sijue tell You Ning the truth and let her return to Kangrui City? Isn't it dangerous?"
"Because Xu Youning didn't believe Si Jue at all. She identified Si Jue as the murderer who killed Grandma Xu." Lu Boyan helplessly held his forehead, "It won't be too late to let Xu Youning know the truth after Kang Ruicheng is solved. Anyway, Now with her strength, she can't solve Kangrui City alone - these are Si Jue's exact words."
No need to think too much, Su Yicheng understood the meaning of Mu Sijue's words.
Mu Sijue let Xu Youning go back so that Xu Youning could spend these difficult days well. He would handle the most difficult things for Xu Youning.
In the end, there was only a sigh left on Su Yicheng's lips: "Forget it."
Things must be far more complicated than he imagined. Now that Mu Sijue and Xu Youning are trapped in this vortex, he doesn't need to get involved anymore. If he insists on interfering, he will only add chaos.
"Bo Yan, I'm not familiar with Mu Sijue, and I don't know him well, but I believe you." Su Yicheng said, "I won't get involved in this matter for the time being, but if the direct cause of Grandma Xu's death is really Mu Sijue, I won’t let it go.”
Lu Boyan nodded: "When the time is right, I will tell you the whole story. As for now, the less you know, the better." (To be continued)
