Chapter 1150 A Talkative Friend (2)

Lu Boyan put down his phone and turned to look into Su Jian’an’s confused eyes. He couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”

Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan curiously. “Who is Bai Tang? Why have I never heard you mention him?”

Lu Boyan explained calmly, “Bai Tang’s identity is a little special. I usually don’t mention him for no reason. It’s not strange that you haven’t heard of him.”

“I see.” Su Jian’an suddenly understood and nodded. “No wonder…”

Looking at Su Jian’an, Lu Boyan suddenly realized something and looked at her with some amusement. “Do you think he’s a special someone to me?”

Su Jian’an had never heard of many of his friends, but she was particularly interested in Bai Tang.

According to Lu Boyan’s understanding of Su Jian’an, that was probably because of how long he had been on the phone.

“Well, isn’t he?” Su Jian’an said, “You’ve talked to him for such a long time!”

This was not the first time that this misunderstanding had happened.

This answer was also completely within Lu Boyan’s expectations.

Lu Boyan smiled and said, “In fact… you should have heard of him.”

Su Jian’an shook her head in a daze and said sincerely, “I swear I have not! It appears that he’s really talkative. If I have heard of him, I will definitely have an impression of him.”

“Bai Tang is a graduate of the police school, the youngest son of Chief Tang.” Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an calmly. “And? Do you know him?”

“Bai Tang… is Chief Tang’s youngest son?”

Su Jian’an soon recalled that she had indeed heard some rumors about Chief Tang’s family when she worked at the police office.

Most of those rumors were about the youngest son of Chief Tang.

It was said that the young man was very smart. He was a top student in the police school, and his professional ability could even crush professional teachers. He often roasted the teacher in class.

In addition, there were many rumors in the office about the young master’s rebellion.

Several of Su Jian’an’s colleagues in the police office were Bai Tang’s senior brothers and sisters, and even classmates.

Bai Tang was the idol of the students in the police school. Not only because he was smart, but also because he was good at sports. Whether it was an ordinary sports competition or a professional shooting competition, his scoreboard would always be very dazzling.

It was as if he was a natural-born expert who had left everyone else behind.

However, Bai Tang was also the kind of student who would make the teacher grit his teeth and call out his name.

Su Jian’an never thought that Lu Boyan knew Bai Tang.

“But isn’t Chief Tang surnamed Tang? So Bai Tang doesn’t take his father’s surname?”

Lu Boyan knew what Su Jian’an was thinking at a glance. He told her directly, “Bai Tang uses his mother’s surname.”

Su Jian’an asked uncertainly, “So Bai Tang directly uses his father’s surname as his first name?”

Shen Yuechuan had also asked the same question when he was in country A.

Bai Tang seemed to have gotten used to it. He told them with a poker face that his parents thought it would be easier to name him in this way.

Lu Boyan repeated Bai Tang’s original words to Su Jian’an.

Su Jian’an thought for a moment and suddenly felt conflicted on behalf of Bai Tang. She asked in confusion, “Well, that’s quite convenient for his parents, isn’t it?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Bai Tang said that his mother thought it was very interesting.”

Su Jianan felt sorry for Bai Tang for a bit somehow.

This matter probably laid a foundation for Bai Tang’s later unrestrained life.

“Ahem!” Su Jian’an tried her best to look very serious. “When I see Bai Tang in the future, I’ll try not to laugh.”

“You can laugh at it.” Lu Boyan said calmly, “Bai Tang has long been used to it.”

Su Jian’an sympathized with Bai Tang and could not help shaking her head. “What a poor child.”

Lu Boyan smiled and thought that Su Jian’an was still too simple.

He patted her head and said, “You don’t know him well enough.”

After knowing Bai Tang well enough, Su Jian’an would not feel that he was pitiful anymore.

“What?” Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“You’ll know in the future.” Lu Boyan made it clear to Su Jian’an that she should change the topic. “Jian’an, you can ask another question.”

“Well, I still have one last question.” Su Jian’an was really confused, and her beautiful eyes were shining with confusion. “What does Bai Tang do? According to what he just told you, does he know a lot of things about us?”

“Chief Tang has secretly set up a task force to investigate Kang Ruicheng with us. Bai Tang is the person in charge of this task force.” Lu Boyan thought for a moment and told Su Jian’an the truth. “Chief Tang has told Bai Tang everything about us and Kang Ruicheng, so Bai Tang knows everything to a point.”

“A task force?” Su Jian’an used to work in the police office, so of course she knew what a task force meant. “It sounds amazing.”

Lu Boyan had to state a disappointing fact. “Bai Tang is the only member of this task force.”

“Pfft-” Su Jian’an couldn’t help but laugh. “If Bai Tang knew the truth, he would be very upset.”

The task force was just a title to lure Bai Tang, wasn’t it?

In fact, Chief Tang and Lu Boyan were just using Bai Tang to exchange their investigation information. After all, their identities were very special and it would not be appropriate for them to meet frequently.

Bai Tang had been used blatantly.

“Bai Tang is the most suitable candidate. We have no other choice.” Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Don’t worry about him. He is probably… no longer upset.”

Bai Tang was a smart man. It was impossible for him not to know the meaning of his task force.

In the end, he still took over the case, mainly to help Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, and secondary, to face the great challenge.

Of course, according to Bai Tang’s character, it was impossible for him to say that.

Lu Boyan picked up his phone and dialed Mu Sijue’s number.

...

Recently, Mu Sijue should be paying close attention to Kang Ruicheng’s movements at all times.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that Kang Ruicheng would take Xu Youning to the banquet so soon.

𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m

It was good that Mu Sijue knew it. Lu Boyan no longer needed to hesitate about whether he should tell him about it.

Now, Lu Boyan only wanted to know what Mu Sijue was going to do.

Mu Sijue had been waiting. As soon as his mobile phone rang, he immediately answered it.

Lu Boyan spoke first. “Bai Tang called. He asked you not to act rashly.”

Mu Sijue was a little surprised and asked in a puzzled voice, “Bai Tang is willing to take this case?”

Given Bai Tang’s personality, he wouldn’t take a case like this so easily.

Lu Boyan speculated, “Bai Tang should have been pressured.” Then, he changed the subject. “However, that’s not the point.”

Su Jian’an silently felt sorry for Bai Tang again.

Probably because of Bai Tang’s nice character, he had been oppressed and exploited by Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue to work so hard.

...

Mu Sijue obviously did not have Su Jian’an’s sympathy. On the contrary, he agreed with Lu Boyan very much. “I also don’t think that’s the point.”

Since it wasn’t the point, there was no need to discuss it.

Lu Boyan changed the subject and asked in a dignified voice, “Sijue, do you have any plans?”

Of course, Mu Sijue had his own plan.

He really missed Xu Youning.

That kind of missing had caused many changes in his life.

Mu Sijue almost couldn’t remember the last time he saw Xu Youning. When he dreamt at midnight, he could only see Xu Youning’s face full of pain.

Before he could come up with a way to relieve her pain, a strong sense of crisis told him that even if he was seeing Xu Youning in his dreams, who looked painful, he was very likely to lose her.

That was the biggest threat that Mu Sijue had ever encountered in his life.

Fortunately, fate still gave him a chance.

At that moment, he had a chance to save Xu Youning.

He would do it at the banquet.

If Kang Ruicheng wanted to develop his business in the financial circle of City A and compete with Lu Boyan in the financial field, he had to constantly strengthen the Su Group and attend various banquets to develop contacts.

Kang Ruicheng would definitely not miss this banquet.

For Mu Sijue, there was only one chance. He could bring Xu Youning back while Kang Ruicheng took her to the banquet.

There was something surging from the bottom of Mu Sijue’s heart. There was a kind of desire that almost broke through his heart and formed a specific shape in the air.

The complicated emotions made Mu Sijue’s voice a little bitter, but he said word by word very clearly, “I’m going to bring Youning back.”

Lu Boyan did not feel surprised at all.

If he were Mu Sijue and Su Jian’an was kept by Kang Ruicheng, his thoughts might be more intense than Mu Sijue’s.

But he was not Mu Sijue. At this time, what he needed to do was to stay calm and remind Mu Sijue of the risks he might face.

“Sijue,” Lu Boyan said slowly, “Bai Tang just called and specially asked you not to make a scene in public. Also, if you take action, Xu Youning may get hurt.”

Mu Sijue didn’t speak.

He had thought about what Bai Tang had said.

If Kang Ruicheng brought Xu Youning out to the banquet, it was impossible for him not to have thought that Mu Sijue would take action.

Kang Ruicheng would definitely do some defensive work, and the people he would bring would definitely not be fewer than those arranged by Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.

If they fought against Kang Ruicheng at the reception, it would be a head-on fight.

At that time, the scene would definitely be chaotic.

Once Kang Ruicheng found something wrong in the chaos, he would rather destroy Xu Youning than let her go back to Mu Sijue.

Even if Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were good at acting and they could hide their real attempt from Kang Ruicheng, Xu Youning might get hurt in the chaos.

If it were in the past, a minor injury would not hurt Xu Youning.

But at the moment, she was pregnant, and the safety of the baby was closely related to her.

Even if the baby was slightly hurt, it would affect Xu Youning and directly threaten her safety.

Once Xu Youning had an accident because of the baby, all her secrets would be exposed to Kang Ruicheng.
