“How about you take a rest here for a while? I can go meet Liu Lan by myself.”

Mei Shu thought for a moment and couldn’t let Lu Si accompany her to investigate this matter in this situation. She was about to leave Lu Si behind.

“That won’t do. I always finish what I start. Since we’ve come this far in the investigation, how can 1 be absent for the follow-up?” Lu Si smiled at her with narrowed eyes, looking at her worried expression. He couldn’t help but reach out and pat her head. “Alright, I have good stamina, I can hold on. Let’s go now.”

Unable to resist him, Mei Shu could only assure F repeatedly that she would come to see him personally after finishing her current tasks. Then she pulled him out of the villa.

Things were progressing quite smoothly, and Lu Si’s lead had almost become Mei Shu’s lifesaver. However, unexpected events happened in the blink of an eye.

At that time, Mei Shu and Lu Si were sitting at a table in the restaurant, about to order.

Mei Shu was about to ask him what he wanted to eat since she was treating him to this meal. However, her sleeve was suddenly caught by a pair of large hands.

Confused, she turned her head to see Lu Si looking at her with an extremely aggrieved expression, pouting as if he had been wronged.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Mei Shu’s heart. “Lu Si… You wouldn’t, right?”

Could he be having a sudden illness in this situation?

“Sister, Xiao Bao really misses you. It’s been so long since you last visited Xiao Bao!”

Mei Shu listened in shock.

Liu Lan, sitting across from them, looked at the man who had been stern and serious just a moment ago with surprise. She wondered what had suddenly happened and instinctively asked, “Miss Mei, is he okay?”

“He’s fine! Please go ahead and order. We’ll be back soon!” Mei Shu quickly handed the menu to Liu Lan and then pulled Lu Si’s hand, running towards the long corridor leading to the restroom.

“Lu Si, snap out of it!” Mei Shu splashed his face with cold water, trying to bring him back to his senses in this way.

But Lu Si almost cried from what she did. “Sister, the water is so cold. You’re bullying Xiao Bao!”

Mei Shu now felt a headache. She had no choice but to exchange for a lollipop and put it in his mouth, soothing his emotions first.

When he stopped crying, Mei Shu instructed him word by word, “Later, Sister will talk to the lady we just met. You just sit there, don’t show any expression, and don’t talk. Do you understand?”

Lu Si shook his head with a pouting mouth. “Xiao Bao hasn’t seen Sister for a long time. Xiao Bao wants to talk to Sister.”

Mei Shu was speechless and could only promise him that after finishing the current matter, she would personally take him to the amusement park. Then, she pulled him out of the restroom.

Hearing that, Lu Si’s eyes lit up. “Sister, you have to keep your word!”

“Okay, I’ll pinky swear to Xiao Bao! Tell me what you want to eat later, and I’ll give it to you, but don’t speak or show your current expression!”

Mei Shu repeatedly emphasized, and Lu Si agreed happily.

Sure enough, for children, the amusement park carried unusual magic.

In order not to let Lu Si expose himself, she deliberately made him put on a serious expression and asked him not to move before taking his hand and bringing him back to seat.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Lan couldn’t help but glance at Lu Si. “Miss Mei, is this gentleman okay?”

“He’s fine. Have you finished ordering?” Mei Shu had already felt that Lu Si’s hand was subconsciously tightening on her sleeve. She quickly changed the topic.

Liu Lan nodded and said, “Yes. I heard from my husband that you are willing to let my husband handle the project of the new residential community. Thank you very much. I should treat you to this meal.”

Mei Shu looked at Lu Si in surprise. He didn’t expect this guy to throw out such a big piece of fat meat in order to lure Liu Lan out and not make her suspicious.

Mei Shu’s heart warmed, and she subconsciously held Lu Si’s fingers back. Surprisingly, Lu Si’s fingertips were warm this time, not as cold as before. Setting aside this curiosity for now, Mei Shu turned to the woman across the table, who was already in her forties. She said, “Mrs. Liu, actually, the reason we invited you out this time is for another matter that we need your help with.” “You can count on me for anything I can do. I will do my best.” Liu Lan was very enthusiastic towards them, probably due to the previous construction project.

At that moment, a waiter came over with the dishes.

Lu Si’s eyes were fixed on the vegetable salad in front of him.

Mei Shu placed the salad in front of him and continued, “Thank you for your cooperation, Mrs. Liu. I want you to recall if there was a car accident on the mountain road near the estate six years ago when you were still working there.”

When Liu Lan heard Mei Shu bring up this matter, her face suddenly changed.. “Yes, why do you suddenly ask about that?”
