Mr Fu, I Really Love You-Novel2

Chapter 1044: Lu Jinnan Picked Up the Glass Before Him and Took a Sip

Lin Nuan told Liang Mulan that they found out that the Lu family’s ancestors were imperial chefs and that they later opened a restaurant. Liang Mulan was shocked to hear this. She gazed at Lin Nuan. “Nuan Nuan, why didn’t you inherit this talent?”

Thinking back to her own culinary skills, Lin Nuan only managed to say this after a long while, “Maybe… the Lu family’s culinary skills are only imparted to the male descendants.”

Everyone in the house was tickled to hear this, except Tuan Tuan, who didn’t grasp what was going on. He placed both hands on the table, looked left and right before climbing down the stool. He then squirmed under the table, grabbing Lin Nuan’s knees with both hands and sticking a leg up, wanting to sit in Lin Nuan’s lap.

When Lin Nuan lowered her head, she saw the bright-eyed Tuan Tuan, so she lifted him up and plopped him in her lap.

Lin Ran had an appointment with Gu Shaoting at noon regarding a serious matter, so after finishing her noodles, she left. Liang Mulan urged Lin Nuan and Song Yao to rest for half an hour before lunch, then went to the kitchen to tell the chefs what to make for lunch.

After returning to her room, Lin Nuan couldn’t sleep. She was constantly focused on what was happening in America.

A big piece of news happened on Bai Xiaonian’s side last night when Lin Nuan was asleep. At the press conference, she asked the spokesperson what crime they were charging Lu Jinnan with.

Perhaps because China had just arrested the United States Embassy’s ambassador’s son, the US didn’t dare accuse Lu Jinnan of a crime yet. But since they had already announced the press conference, they couldn’t very well call it off, so they could only stutter about how it concerned the country’s confidential matters. They stated that they needed to collect more evidence, so they couldn’t speak further at the moment.

The reporters below asked the point of the press conference. Was it to waste everyone’s time?

The spokesperson onstage looked vexed as well. When he received orders to hold off, he felt despair. That was especially so when he heard that Bai Xiaonian would be coming today. He felt even greater despair, feeling that he was about to lose his job.

Bai Xiaonian spoke calmly. “Okay then… since that’s the case, let me ask you in another capacity. As the wife of the Kaide Corporation’s president, Mr. Lu Jinnan, I’d like to ask the US government, what reason does the US government have to arrest my husband without sufficient evidence? And why are you rejecting bail without giving an explanation? Don’t tell me… you’re bullying and suppressing other countries’ citizens using your identity as a superpower!”

Time seemed to have halted for five or six seconds. The spokesperson was still processing the fact that Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan were a married couple. Since when? Why hadn’t he heard about this!

After a long while, the spokesperson said, “The US is a superpower, that’s right. But we’ve never used this identity to bully or suppress other countries’ citizens. Regarding…”

“So, under the name of what crime did you take away my husband, Lu Jinnan, for interrogation? He hasn’t been allowed a visit from family or a lawyer, and no reason has been given for that!” Bai Xiaonian spoke in an aggressive tone.

When Lin Nuan saw this video, nearly ten hours had passed since the press conference.

Lin Nuan had no idea if this was a blessing in disguise for Lu Jinnan. At least… Bai Xiaonian was acknowledging the fact that they were married before the public.

She wondered how Lu Jinnan was doing and if he was suffering any hardship inside.

…

Fu Huai’an had some foundation in the US. He didn’t rest after he got there and went around asking about Lu Jinnan’s current condition. He got the news that the US was planning to accuse Lu Jinnan of being a spy. The interrogation process for spies was a little different, but Fu Huai’an could be sure of one thing—Lu Jinnan probably wasn’t having it easy.

Yes, Lu Jinnan indeed wasn’t having it easy. After he went in until now, he was inundated with questioning and not allowed to rest at all. His eyes were filled with red blood vessels, and his face and body had suffered injuries.

Right now, Lu Jinnan had just come out of the spy interrogation room and was seated in the chair he had sat in when he first arrived.

If it weren’t for the news of the capture of the son of the United States Embassy’s ambassador, Lu Jinnan would probably be undergoing another round of torture in the interrogation room. Now that the United States ambassador’s son was captured, they didn’t dare act recklessly with Lu Jinnan.

Lu Jinnan picked up the glass before him and took a sip, his dry mouth filled with the taste of blood…

He had the same carefree manner, seemingly indifferent towards the person sent by the US intelligence department to interrogate him all over again.

They had sent a beautiful woman this time. She came in with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and placed them in front of Lu Jinnan. She apologized to Lu Jinnan with a smile, “Sorry to have shocked you!”

“Can’t call it shock…” Lu Jinnan took out a cigarette and lit it. “I guess you were planning to accuse me of being a spy. Later, my corporation or country probably did something, and you were forced to take me out of that interrogation room and invite me here. They then sent you to apologize to me. You should be a rather highly-ranked official, eh?”

Lu Jinnan tapped away his cigarette ash nonchalantly. If it weren’t for the red blood vessels in his eyes, no one would be able to guess he hadn’t slept a wink in over 36 hours.

The long-haired beauty sat with her legs crossed opposite him, a slight smile on her lips. “Actually, Mr. Lu, all I want to know is whether Mr. Ran Chaoqian took any information with him when he returned to China. You’ll make our job easier by telling us, and we can then help you be more comfortable…”

Lu Jinnan laughed softly. “Since you’re a beauty, let me point out a way for you…”

That beauty nodded, then heard Lu Jinnan say, “Go find Ran Chaoqian and ask him!”

That beauty had yet to have a taste of Lu Jinnan’s vicious tongue, so she actually didn’t really care. What kind of person was he exactly, to make the entire department boil with rage? He was but a rogue-ish old pimp.

“If we could find Ran Chaoqian, we wouldn’t have invited Mr. Lu here…” The beauty remained as poised as ever. “I won’t hide it from Mr. Lu. We saw your brain’s reaction and heart rate response during the interrogation, and we feel that you must have been through some special training that helps you deal with interrogations. So… we have reason to suspect that you’re a spy. We all know that each country has the right to persecute international spies! So I advise that you cooperate with us…”

“Really?” Lu Jinnan looked indifferent. “Evidence? Just based on my brain’s reaction and heart rate response during the interrogation? I’m not some nobody you can capture at whim, I’m the president of the Kaide Corporation! Or else…”

Lu Jinnan’s deep eyes gazed at the beauty as he tapped his finger on the table, still wielding the cigarette. “You would invite me here again!”

After tapping the cigarette ash away, Lu Jinnan leisurely leaned back and smiled at the beauty with his eyes narrowed. “Is there no one else in your intelligence department? Why did they get someone big-breasted, brainless, and pretentious to come here and waste my time!”

Lu Jinnan’s vision swept over the beauty’s breasts frivolously and fell upon her hands. “Oops, I said it wrong. Your breasts aren’t that big. Did you just get a divorce?”
