Chapter 202 - Death and Conspiracy (6) (1/2)

A good person! A fair lady! Lu Jia’er was touched by those words which could be interpreted as recognition of her humanity. In his eyes, she was neither an outlier nor a special individual. He did not reject her, nor was he intimidated by her. He was still viewing her as a normal female human.

“Deputy Xu, I will engrave those words of yours in my mind!” Lu Jia’er said to Xu Lei with sincerity.

Xu Lei looked into her eyes and she smiled at him.

For a moment, Xu Lei felt he became absent-minded. Lu Jia’er’s eyes were so beautiful and clean as if they housed a pond of clear water which people would want to stop by to appreciate. When a refreshing breeze blew past the water, ripples would set off across its surface…

When Xu Lei came back to his senses, he found himself standing on the top of the mountain alone. The moonlight shone brightly on him, casting a stretched shadow behind in stark contrast.

Xu Lei could not remember why he had come here. He patted his forehead. The chilly breeze touched his cheeks and he could see a myriad light in the city. Somehow, strangely, he felt he was in a despondent mood.

Lu Jia’er, who had already come down the mountain and driven away, was frowning. It was against her will to treat Xu Lei like this. Yet, she did so nonetheless. She was not afraid that Xu Lei would make her identity public. Rather, she was worried that the information could bring him danger. Therefore, she persuaded herself to erase some of his memory with hypnosis.

If he ever learned about this, would he still see her as a kind person? Would he become fearful? Would he be afraid?

And there was the matter of Su Han. Where was she sent to? A lab? Or… would the two good friends be separated forever from now on?

Lu Jia’er drove back to Jin Xiangdong’s place.

Going into the door, the adorable Ake was the one receiving her. “Professor Lu, you are back!”

“Has your master returned yet?” Lu Jia’er did not see Jin Xiangdong, hence the question.

“No, he has not come back yet!” Ake answered.
