235: Invite Su Yue to be your male companion

Although the tomb robbers were successfully apprehended, Liang Yuzhu didn't feel any more relaxed, because many artifacts had already been bought by collectors.

And artifact transactions are all conducted privately, so finding this batch of artifacts is no easier than investigating other matters.

The Police Station had only been happy for a short time after apprehending the tomb robbers before falling into a deadlock because they couldn't find the buyers; Director Liu was so anxious he was almost bald.

Although they had already announced online that they had caught the tomb robbers and successfully prevented the ancient tomb from being damaged.

But the antiques that had flowed out earlier all belonged to the country; as long as they weren't found, he couldn't face the people of the entire nation.

In the end, left with no choice, Director Liu could only ask Liang Yuzhu for help again.

"Xiao Liang, does your friend have any more clues related to the artifacts? The price isn't the issue, the important thing is for it to be useful!"

The artifacts unearthed this time were of great historical significance, highly valued by those above, and the few artifacts that flowed out were also very significant archaeologically, so the people above required him to find the artifacts at all costs.

However, the circulation of artifacts is very secretive; neither the buyers nor the sellers will reveal the other party's information. Even though they had investigated all the buyers President Chen traded with, they didn't find any relevant information, and they were once again in a deadlock.

If he hadn't been forced into it, he wouldn't have easily asked others for help.

Because the Police Station was short-staffed, Liang Yuzhu had also been assigned to investigate where the artifacts had circulated in the past few days and understood Director Liu's predicament.

However, to avoid putting Su Yue in a difficult position, she only said vaguely, "I'll ask my friend if he has any relevant clues, but I can't guarantee if he can ultimately help."

When Director Liu heard Liang Yuzhu say this, a heavy weight was lifted from his heart.

Liang Yuzhu had said the same thing last time, and in the end, her friend still directly provided them with specific information, helping them greatly.

He nodded, "Then I'll trouble Xiao Liang!"

Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Xiao Liu just found out that Yu Banzhi will send artifacts to auctions for sale. Perhaps the artifacts this time were also sent by him."

"It's just that the screening for that auction is very strict, and it's a bit difficult for our people to get in."

Liang Yuzhu was surprised, "It's normal for regular auctions to have strict screening, but it shouldn't be impossible for our people to get in, right?"

Director Liu shook his head, "Those who participate in the auction are all top wealthy individuals; it's an invitation system, and our people don't have invitations."

Instead, Liang Yuzhu's eyes lit up, "Since that's the case, I have a way to get in."

She has a female President as a best friend; with her status, she must have received an invitation.

After saying goodbye to Director Liu, Liang Yuzhu directly invited both Lan Zijun and Su Yue out.

Lan Zijun saw Liang Yuzhu handing the menu to the waiter and couldn't help but tease her.

"I didn't expect our beautiful Criminal Investigation Team Captain to be so leisurely today, even having time to invite us out for dinner. It seems the bonus for solving this case is quite substantial?"

Liang Yuzhu glanced at her helplessly, "What little bonus I get is nothing worth mentioning in front of you. I just saw that this restaurant had good reviews, so I asked you to come and try it together."

When Lan Zijun heard Liang Yuzhu say this, her smile immediately became even brighter.

"I knew Liang Yuzhu was the best."

Looking at the two beautiful women laughing and being affectionate together again, Su Yue sitting across from them seemed a bit out of place.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it; instead, he felt that Liang Yuzhu's purpose for inviting them out was not simple.

He directly asked, "It's normal for you to ask President Lan out for a meal, but you even invited me. You're not trying to get some information from me again, are you?"

Seeing that Liang Yuzhu indeed restrained her smile, he directly interrupted her, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that if you ask me now, I don't have any information."

Information refreshing takes time; there are still three days until the next time. Even if she asked him now, he wouldn't be able to provide it.

Liang Yuzhu didn't expect Su Yue to see through her purpose for finding them today with just one glance, and she felt a little embarrassed.

She gave an awkward smile and glared at Su Yue angrily, thinking he was truly tactless.

She had originally planned to ask them after eating, but she didn't expect him to be so eager to directly expose her purpose.

However, Liang Yuzhu wasn't a difficult person either; she quickly figured it out herself and admitted it proactively.

"That's right, I invited you out today because I actually have something I want to ask for your help with."

Lan Zijun also kept up with the news and knew that the hottest tomb robbery case had recently been solved by them, and there were no other major cases at the moment.

"Liang Yuzhu, did something else happen?"

Feeling their concerned gazes, Liang Yuzhu shook her head, "No, it's still the tomb robbery case, it's just that some artifacts have been bought and taken away, and we need to find a way to get them back."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zijun furrowed her brow, "This won't be easy to find."

Lan Zijun had lived among the wealthy since she was young and knew that what those people liked most was collecting; it wouldn't be easy to make them return something once it was in their hands.

Liang Yuzhu naturally understood this principle, but that batch of artifacts was too important, and they could only do their best to find them back.

"I know this isn't easy either, but the batch of artifacts that flowed out are very important items for our historians studying the tang dynasty, and we can only try our best."

Lan Zijun shook her head, thinking that this matter was not something they could achieve just by trying hard.

Liang Yuzhu saw that her best friend wasn't very optimistic about what she said. Although she wasn't very confident about succeeding herself, she didn't want to give up just like that.

"Lan Ziju, have you received any auction invitations recently? That batch of artifacts might be there."

Lan Zijun thought carefully; she didn't recall receiving such an invitation, but instead remembered that she had just received an invitation to a wealthy individual's birthday dinner today.

"There are too many less important invitations usually, and I didn't pay attention to whether I received an auction invitation or not. I'll go back and look for it."

"However, I did receive a birthday invitation from a wealthy person, and he happens to be showcasing his collection. I think there might be some discoveries there."

Liang Yuzhu felt a bit disappointed when she heard that Lan Zijun hadn't received an invitation, but when she heard that someone was actually going to display their collection, she immediately felt that this might be a breakthrough point.

"Lan Ziju, this wealthy person might also be one of the buyers!"

Lan Zijun understood Liang Yuzhu's meaning. She nodded, "Liang Yuzhu, don't worry, I will definitely attend the dinner and keep an eye out for you."

Listening to Lan Zijun's definite answer, Liang Yuzhu felt warmth in her heart and felt truly honored to be best friends with such a good person.

"Thank you, Lan Ziju."

Lan Zijun smiled and shook her head, "With our relationship, you don't need to be polite with me."

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Su Yue, who had been eating silently.

"Su Yue, you can be my male companion then, and we can attend the party together."

Hearing Lan Zijun's words so suddenly, Su Yue almost dropped the bowl in his hand in excitement.

He had thought he was just called out today to be a foil for the two sisters, but he didn't expect Lan Zijun to actually pick him and ask him to be her male companion.

When Liang Yuzhu heard Lan Zijun say this, the hand holding Lan Zijun's stiffened for a moment, but she quickly hid it.

She looked up at Su Yue, who seemed stunned by what Lan Zijun said, and said calmly, "Su Yue, you go with Lan Ziju too. If there are any discoveries then, I can work with you from the inside and outside. I'm not at ease with Lan Ziju attending the party alone."

Looking at Lan Zijun, who clearly didn't have much expression on her face but whose eyes were twinkling, subtly anticipating his answer, and Liang Yuzhu, who clearly also wanted his help, Su Yue hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

"Alright, then I'll attend the party with President Lan."

Although he knew that Lan Zijun had grown up in a wealthy family since childhood and such parties must have long been commonplace for her, he still couldn't bring himself to refuse when he heard Liang Yuzhu say that she wanted him to go to the party to protect Lan Zijun.

Subconsciously, he didn't want any accidents to happen to Lan Zijun.

Liang Yuzhu received the news that the two of them would keep an eye on the situation for her at the dinner party. In her heart, she should have been happy, but for some reason, she felt even more depressed at this moment than when there was no progress found in the case.

It's just that she didn't show it in front of Lan Zijun. After having dinner with them, she dragged her to go shopping again.

Su Yue was speechless seeing that he was clearly treated as a tool by Liang Yuzhu and discarded after use. He could only silently ride his bike home after seeing the two best friends go shopping hand in hand.

He really shouldn't have been here today.

What Su Yue didn't expect was that the next day when he went to the company, the company somehow found out about Lan Zijun inviting him to go with her as her male companion. As soon as he entered the office, he was blocked by Li Haoyang.

Li Haoyang usually liked to stick to Su Yue, and now he even more excitedly hugged Su Yue's leg.

He shouted somewhat excitedly, "Su Ge! From now on, you are my dearest Big Brother! Your little brother will follow you forever!"

Su Yue was utterly stunned by Li Haoyang's behavior. However, when he tried to pull his leg out of Li Haoyang's grip, he found that he couldn't move it.

He was held tightly by Li Haoyang. Even though Li Haoyang was almost being dragged along by him, he still refused to let go.

Su Yue looked at the various expressions of the people around him and felt annoyed. He gritted his teeth, "Li Haoyang! What are you doing!"

Li Haoyang didn't care about what others thought at all. Don't think he didn't know that they were actually envious in their hearts that he could directly hug Su Yue's 'golden leg'.

He desperately shook his head and struggled, "Su Ge, never mind! Anyway, I just want to be your most reliable leg attachment. If you get rich in the future, you absolutely must not forget your little brother!"

When Su Yue entered the company, he noticed that the people around him were looking at him strangely, their eyes burning as if he were some hot commodity.

However, when he approached, they all closed their mouths and refused to say anything. Only after he looked away did they all look at him again, their backs turned to him, whispering some little secret.

If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that he wasn't wearing his clothes inside out or his shoes on the wrong feet, he would have thought he had done something foolish to be stared at like this.

Seeing Li Haoyang's clearly abnormal reaction now, he instantly understood that the people in the company probably knew something.

He couldn't help but feel worried. He had always been very careful about hiding himself at the company, so why were they all looking at him like this now? What did they know?

On the surface, Su Yue only lost control of his expression when Li Haoyang suddenly hugged his leg. In reality, he had already gone over everything in his mind, worried that he might have exposed his identity as Yuan.

Seeing more and more people watching, even if Su Yue was calm, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He gritted his teeth and squatted down, meeting Li Haoyang's adoring gaze, feeling a little shy and a little annoyed.

"Are you crazy? This is the company! What exactly triggered you?"

If he didn't know that Li Haoyang and Yang Qingmei were mutually attracted, he would really suspect that Li Haoyang's sexual orientation had become abnormal after being cheated on.

What normal person would hug someone else's leg in front of everyone and have no sense of shame at all?

Li Haoyang showed Su Yue his clean, white eight teeth, smiling like an idiot.

"Su Ge, everyone knows that you were invited by President Lan to be her male companion. The leg I'm holding now is no ordinary leg; it's a golden leg! Su Ge, you must let me hold on tight! If one day you truly enter a wealthy family, you absolutely must not leave me behind!"

Su Yue: "..."

Hearing that the people in the company suddenly became so abnormal because the matter of him attending the party with Lan Zijun was exposed, he felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, they only knew about this matter and didn't know that he was Yuan.

But when he saw that Li Haoyang was still holding his leg tightly and refused to let go, he was instantly angered into laughter by him.

It was just attending a party; he wasn't actually marrying into Lan Zijun's family. Why was Li Haoyang so excited?

He stood up irritably and kicked Li Haoyang hard again, annoyed, "Get up! I have nothing to do with President Lan!"

Li Haoyang had long felt that there must be some relationship between Su Yue and Lan Zijun. Now that he heard President Lan invited Su Yue to be her male companion, he was even more certain that there was something going on between these two, and thus didn't believe Su Yue's explanation.

"Su Ge, that's not kind of you! You've just stepped into a wealthy family, how can you forget our solid friendship so quickly? I don't care! Su Ge, if you don't promise not to forget me today, I won't let go of you!"

Su Yue didn't expect Li Haoyang to be so shameless now, not even caring about losing face in front of everyone.

Seeing that he really didn't plan to let go, Su Yue could only say with a dark face, "Secretary Yang, are you here? Li Haoyang is here."

As expected, after he said this, Li Haoyang, who was originally holding his leg tightly, instantly let go and stood up, a fawning smile on his face, "Qing..."

Li Haoyang looked at the gossiping eyes of the crowd of onlookers and didn't see the familiar figure. Knowing that he had been tricked by Su Yue, he was instantly filled with regret.

He had finally found an opportunity to hug Su Yue's leg, but as a result, he didn't get the answer he wanted, and Su Yue had already escaped. It wouldn't be easy to get such a good opportunity again.

Sure enough, from then on, as soon as Su Yue saw Li Haoyang, he would turn around and leave, and he couldn't find another chance to hug his leg.

Su Yue didn't expect that going to work one day would be so tiring. No matter where he went, he would be stared at, making his scalp tingle.
