245: Invite him to the auction

Seeing Li Kangsheng hesitate, Su Yue spoke unhurriedly, "Li Zong, you don't need to worry. President Lan and I just want to go and bid on an antique."

Lan Zijun cooperated with Su Yue, saying, "Li Zong, don't worry. I've also recently taken a liking to ancient paintings and want to buy one. I hope Li Zong can introduce me."

Li Kangsheng was still hesitant, struggling with whether to speak.

After all, seeing the interaction between Su Yue and Liang Yuzhu, they were clearly very familiar with each other. Now that he was actively asking if there were invitations, he was clearly asking for Police.

And he knew exactly what was being auctioned at that auction. If Police got in, that place would no longer be safe.

Furthermore, if people found out that Police got the invitation from him, he would probably be shunned by the entire circle.

Liang Yuzhu could probably guess Li Kangsheng's concerns. She spoke in a seemingly nonchalant manner.

"I have other cases to deal with these past few days, so I'm afraid I'll have to hand Young Master Li over to other colleagues. But Li Zong, rest assured, Police will definitely not make things difficult for Young Master Li."

Li Kangsheng's face immediately darkened when he heard Liang Yuzhu say this.

Liang Yuzhu was clearly threatening him!

When Li Wenbin heard Liang Yuzhu's words, he immediately became more agitated. He anxiously shouted to Li Kangsheng, "Father, ignore her! I'm fine!"

Li Wenbin also knew about that auction and naturally understood the rules inside. He didn't want Li Kangsheng to offend so many people because of him.

However, at this time, Li Kangsheng had no choice but to agree.

After all, Li Wenbin was still in their hands. Compared to the possibility of being discovered, his son, whom he had raised for so many years, was naturally more important.

He gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly, "Since President Lan has said so, I, Li, will naturally recommend a good place for President Lan to auction. President Lan, wait a couple of days, and I'll mail you the invitation."

Lan Zijun naturally smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Li Zong."

Having found the thief so quickly and now having a way to find the lost cultural relics, Liang Yuzhu was extremely happy. Her attitude towards Li Wenbin also improved significantly.

She instructed her subordinates to take Li Wenbin back to Police Station and said goodbye to Li Kangsheng, "Since the truth is clear, Li Zong, I'll take Young Master Li back to Police Station for investigation first."

Although Li Kangsheng was unwilling, he did not dare to stop Liang Yuzhu and could only watch Li Wenbin being taken away.

Li Wenbin was still very angry as Police officer held him back and led him away, "I did this! Why are you threatening my father? If you have the guts, just target me!"

However, no one present paid attention to him. He was taken into the interrogation room, where he would face the judgment of the law.

Liang Yuzhu looked at the two people in front of her wearing matching colored dresses, feeling a strange sensation, but she did not show it on her face.

"Thank you both tonight. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be looking for evidence like a headless fly right now."

Lan Zijun glared at Liang Yuzhu, somewhat annoyed, "What's our relationship? Why are you still being so polite to me?"

Su Yue also chimed in from the side, "Captain Liang, you don't need to be so polite. Since I promised before that I would help you investigate the cultural relics, I naturally will."

Liang Yuzhu shook her head in disagreement, "No, I know you didn't take these things to heart, but you really helped me a lot tonight. I should thank you."

Su Yue reminded, "Captain Liang, you don't need to be in such a hurry. In a few days, Lan Ziju and I may have to help you again. It's still a bit early to say thank you."

Lan Zijun's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard Su Yue call her Lan Ziju. She quietly took a deep breath, calmed her racing heart, and nodded in agreement, pretending to be composed.

"Yes, Liang Yuzhu. We'll help you check out the auction then. Maybe those cultural relics can be found soon."

Liang Yuzhu knew that this was all their kindness, and her heart was filled with even more gratitude towards them.

"Thank you both. When this case is solved, I must treat you to a big meal, and please don't refuse me."

Lan Zijun smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely be there then."

Su Yue also nodded, "Then I'll look forward to Captain Liang's big meal."

Since it was getting late, Liang Yuzhu didn't keep them talking for long. After a few words, she got into Police car and returned to Police Station.

Although she had caught Li Wenbin, she still needed to take his statement.

Given his uncooperative attitude, she would be busy tonight.

Seeing that Police car had disappeared, Lan Zijun turned to look at Su Yue and asked, "Shall I give you a ride back?"

Su Yue subconsciously wanted to refuse, "No..."

Lan Zijun didn't give him the chance and directly interrupted him, "It's hard to get a taxi here. If you walk back by yourself, you'll probably be walking until morning. Can you still get up for work tomorrow?"

Su Yue looked around and found that the other villa, which was different from the Li family villa, was at the end of his sight.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart that capitalists were rich, while 'tearfully' agreeing to Lan Zijun.

"Then thank you, Lan... Lan Ziju."

Su Yue subconsciously wanted to call Lan Zijun President Lan, but fortunately, he corrected himself as soon as he spoke.

Lan Zijun also heard Su Yue's change. She gave Su Yue a resentful look and got into the car first.

Seeing that Lan Zijun didn't seem to mind that he had just misspoken, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and then followed her into the car.

As soon as the car started, Lan Zijun said lightly, "Speaking of which, Su Yue, I think this is the first time I'm going to your place."

Su Yue immediately became fully alert. He tried to persuade her, "Lan Ziju, my place is very small. You won't be used to it if you go there."

It wasn't that Su Yue didn't want to show Lan Zijun his home, but he felt that Miss Lan Zijun might feel uncomfortable in the small rented apartment he lived in. Today, she was dressed so beautifully, which would be even more out of place in his small, dilapidated house.

Seeing Su Yue immediately refuse, Lan Zijun became even more curious about his home.

"Didn't you say before that I could visit your home anytime? Why are you unwilling for me to go there now? Is there something shady in your house?"

For some reason, the first person Su Yue thought of was Lin Jia. He quickly reacted and immediately explained.

"No, Lan Ziju. It's just that I think it's too late now, and there's nothing much to see in my apartment. I shouldn't disturb your rest."

Lan Zijun looked Su Yue up and down suspiciously, as if trying to find something on his face.

She said, "Is that so?"

Su Yue naturally nodded, "Of course. You usually sleep at this hour. Sleeping too late isn't good for your skin."

Seeing Su Yue's honesty, Lan Zijun withdrew her gaze and nodded, "Okay, then I'll visit your place next time."

Seeing Lan Zijun agree, Su Yue felt relieved and thought about tidying up his apartment in the next few days, lest Lan Zijun dislike it then.

After that, neither of them spoke again. It wasn't until the driver drove to Su Yue's place that Lan Zijun said lightly, "Su Yue, you mispronounced my name just now. I said there would be a punishment."

Su Yue was stunned by Lan Zijun's sudden remark. He wanted to ask her what she meant, but Lan Zijun had already told the driver to drive away, not giving him a chance to ask.

Now Su Yue was even more curious about what the punishment Lan Zijun mentioned would be.

However, he thought about it all night but couldn't figure out what punishment Lan Zijun would give him. As a result, he didn't sleep well all night and almost couldn't get out of bed the next day.

When Su Yue came out of his room, Lin Jia happened to come down from upstairs. Seeing Su Yue, who couldn't even open his eyes, Lin Jia was a little surprised.

"Didn't you come back in the early morning? Why do you still look like you haven't slept well?"

Lin Jia had been worried that something would happen to Su Yue all night. Although it was long past her bedtime, she still resisted her sleepiness and forced herself to watch dramas. Only when she heard that familiar voice did she finally give in to sleep.

She vaguely remembered it was 00:30 at that time. According to reason, Su Yue shouldn't have stayed up all night.

Hearing Lin Jia's concerned voice, Su Yue forced a smile.

"I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night and I'm a bit sleepy now. I'll be fine in a while."

Lin Jia thought of the message Su Yue sent her last night and the information he told her to look at, and was a little worried, "Did you not catch the person? You don't have to think so much about these things, Police will handle it."

Su Yue shook his head, "No, the person has been caught. I just ate too much supper last night and was too full, so I couldn't fall asleep."

Hearing Su Yue say this, Lin Jia finally felt relieved. She nodded, "So that's it. How about I give you a ride to the company? That way, you can sleep for a while on the way."

After chatting for a few sentences, Su Yue's sleepiness had cleared up a lot. He shook his head.

"No need. I'm much more awake now. Our companies are in opposite directions, so it's too much trouble for you to drive me. I'll just ride my bike."

Seeing Su Yue leave with his car keys, he no longer looked like he might fall asleep on the ground at any moment. Lin Jia could only nod.

"Okay then. If anything happens, you can call me."

Ever since Su Yue saved Lin Jia's life and she knew he was the famous Yuan, Lin Jia had developed different feelings for Su Yue.

The next few days, Su Yue spent them under the veiled envy and scrutiny of his colleagues at the company.

At noon on this day, Yang Qingmei came to find Li Haoyang and also brought a message for Su Yue.

"Su Yue, President Lan is looking for you."

Even though it was lunchtime and there weren't many people in the office, Su Yue could still vaguely hear gasps.

And Li Haoyang next to him was even more excited, looking at Su Yue with sparkling eyes.

He said excitedly, "Su Ge! If you get rich, don't forget about your little brother!"

Originally, not many people had noticed them, but after he yelled like that, now everyone in the office knew that Su Yue had once again latched onto Lan Zijun's leg.

Enduring the various looks from Zhou Wei, Su Yue really wanted to knock on Li Haoyang's head and see what was inside.

Was he trying to make him more enemies in the company?

He had finally managed to make people at the company forget that he had attended the banquet with Lan Zijun and had been her male companion in just a few days. Now, after his shout, well, all his efforts for the past few days were wasted.

Although Su Yue really wanted to keep a low profile at the company, unfortunately, Li Haoyang, relying on his familiarity with him, always inadvertently made him the center of attention. Now he had to go find Lan Zijun under everyone's curious gaze.

Actually, Su Yue was also very curious about why Lan Zijun was looking for him at this time.

The night the banquet ended, she mentioned a punishment before leaving, which made him nervous for a whole day, but she didn't look for him.

Now he had almost forgotten about it, but he received news that she was looking for him.

Su Yue let out a heavy breath and tried to ask, "Is there something President Lan needs from me?"

Yang Qingmei shook her head, "I don't know. President Lan didn't say, she just told me to ask you to go find her."

Su Yue's mind raced, but he couldn't be sure of Lan Zijun's purpose for seeking him out today. He could only go find her first.

What Su Yue didn't know was that the moment he got on the elevator, the office, which had been quiet, became lively again because of his departure.

Even Li Haoyang couldn't help but say to Yang Qingmei, "President Lan is always looking for Su Ge. She must really like Su Ge, right? Actually, Su Ge is pretty good, at least much better than that Qian Boda!"

Yang Qingmei secretly glanced at the gossiping crowd around her, not daring to speak too definitively.

"Maybe. I'm not sure about President Lan's thoughts."

Yang Qingmei actually also used a burner account to ship Su Yue and Lan Zijun's CP in the company group chat, but as Lan Zijun's Secretary, she definitely couldn't discuss the two of them in front of her colleagues.

Therefore, she quickly diverted Li Haoyang's attention, "It's lunchtime, what are you planning to eat?"

Sure enough, Li Haoyang's attention instantly shifted from Su Yue and Lan Zijun to the matter of eating.

When Su Yue pushed open Lan Zijun's office door after getting her permission, Lan Zijun was sitting on the sofa opening a takeout box.

Hearing the sound, Lan Zijun looked up at Su Yue. Seeing it was him, she rarely smiled and asked, "Have you eaten? If not, want to eat together? Qingmei just ordered too much."

As a qualified Secretary, Yang Qingmei would naturally not do something as foolish as ordering the wrong meal. The extra portion was actually specifically ordered by Lan Zijun.

Su Yue saw that there was indeed an unopened takeout box on the table and did not doubt Lan Zijun's words.

He subconsciously wanted to say 'Thank you, President Lan', but corrected himself as soon as he spoke.

"Not yet, thank you, Lan Ziju."

Lan Zijun motioned for Su Yue to sit beside her. Su Yue originally wanted to refuse, but in the end, he honestly sat down.

While opening the takeout box, he asked casually, "Lan Ziju, why did you ask me to come here?"

Having achieved her goal, Lan Zijun didn't deliberately hide it, "Li Zong sent the invitation. There happens to be an auction this weekend. Do you want to go with me?"

Hearing Lan Zijun's explanation, Su Yue's mood was surprisingly complex. For a moment, he didn't know whether he felt more regret or more relief.

So Lan Zijun came to see him for this reason. He had thought she had figured out the punishment and was finally going to punish him.

Of course, Su Yue didn't dare to let Lan Zijun know what he was thinking. He pretended to be very calm on the surface.

"Okay, I'll go."

After discussing the matter, both of them tacitly stopped talking. Only the faint sounds of chewing remained in the large office.

After eating, Su Yue couldn't wait to pack up the lunch boxes and leave, but Lan Zijun stopped him.

"Wait a moment."
