Chapter 152: Awkward Situation

Lin Yu nodded. “It’s indeed her son.”

Gu Chu blinked. Bingo!

When she saw the middle-aged man, the first person that came to her mind was the fugitive!

Her eyes darted around, and Lin Yu smiled. “Another guess?”

Gu Chu thought for a moment before replying, “Li Xiu instigated the other nineteen families to go to the base to cause a ruckus. In fact, she was trying to buy herself time so that she could move the body.”

“So, she secretly called her son who was in hiding to come back so that they could deal with the body together. It’s probably difficult for an old woman like her!”

Gu Chu looked at Lin Yu for confirmation. “Right?”

Lin Yu smiled and praised her. “Smart. The other young man is her grandson. He was also caught.”

Gu Chu gritted her teeth. “A family of evil people!”

They chatted enthusiastically as if there was no one else around, but Feng Jia’s expression did not change at all.

Lin Yu opened the thermos flask. The sweet smell of millet porridge filled their nostrils. He poured the millet porridge out and said, “You and the secretary have suffered for no reason.”

“Ah?” Gu Chu was puzzled.

“Li Xiu thought that you were sent here by the victim’s family. The girl’s family has never given up on her.”

Gu Chu immediately added, “Li Xiu called her son back to move the body. The girl’s family found out and hired someone to ask around. Coincidentally, Li Xiu saw that my secretary and I were asking around. She thought that we were hired by the girl’s family, so she wanted to silence us?”

Lin Yu’s lips curved. “Miss Sherlock Holmes.”

Gu Chu clapped for herself. She forgot that her hand had been bandaged, and she sucked in a few breaths of cold air.

Lin Yu’s smile disappeared, and he grabbed her hand. “Be careful.”

Gu Chu quickly put her hand to her mouth and exhaled.

Lin Yu put down his hand. Remembering that Feng Jia was still there, he couldn’t help but look at him.

Their eyes met. Feng Jia looked as calm as ever.

They looked away.

Gu Chu was still immersed in solving the case. She sneered, “I was wondering why Li Xiu was in such a hurry to silence him. So it turns out that she was guilty!”

“But Liu Xiu and the others wouldn’t just wait for the police to catch them, right?”

Feng Jia suddenly said, “Gu Chu.”

Gu Chu subconsciously turned her head. “Huh?”

Feng Jia immediately stuffed a spoonful of water into her mouth.

“Drink some water, moisten your throat, and then talk.”

“...”

Was she imagining things? Why did it feel he was asking her to shut up?

Then, she realized something.

She and Lin Yu?

What an awkward situation.

They kept discussing the case and forgot about Haicheng City’s King of Jealousy!

Gu Chu: “...”

She turned to Lin Yu and said, “You must have a lot of things to deal with, right? Go do what you need to do. Feng Jia is here.”

She even specifically mentioned Feng Jia.

“Okay,” Lin Yu replied and brought the millet porridge to her. “Have some. You haven’t eaten for two days.”

“Okay.” Gu Chu quickly took it and complimented, “It smells so good.”

“I made it for you in the hospital kitchen.”

Gu Chu quickly withdrew her hand. “Ouch, my hand hurts!”

Feng Jia snorted.

If she wasn’t so close to him, she probably wouldn’t have heard it.

If it was before, she would definitely have taken it. They had been friends for more than ten years and it was just a bowl of porridge.

However, with Feng Jia around now who was so bothered by Lin Yu, he would be annoyed at her if she took it from him.

Gu Chu wrinkled her nose. Feng Jia had just saved her, so she couldn’t be so ungrateful.

“Thank you, Lin Yu. It’s still hot. I’ll eat it later.”

Lin Yu said, “Okay.”

Lin Yu put down the porridge and looked at Feng Jia. “I heard that you lost your suitcase in order to save Gu Chu?”

“Ah?” Gu Chu suddenly became nervous. “You lost your suitcase?”

She often brought some confidential documents from the company along with her. It would be troublesome if they were lost. Moreover, Feng Jia was the CEO, so the things he brought were definitely more important.

Feng Jia replied, “I’ve already found it. Nothing was lost.”

Gu Chu asked, “Have you checked it thoroughly? No items are missing, right? Did someone make a backup? Some companies are in danger because of the leak of confidential documents. You have to check it carefully.”

Feng Jia replied, “There are only documents and clothes in the luggage. There are no other valuable things. The person who saw it doesn’t have the password. They can’t open it, so it’s fine.”

Gu Chu exhaled. “That’s good.”
