Chapter 201 - Death and Conspiracy (5) (1/2)

Lu Jia’er remained unperturbed by Xu Lei’s inquiry. Her expression was even more proof that she could remain composed. The reason was that, with mind-reading, she had already learned Xu Lei’s thoughts before he managed to figure out how to pose the question. As such, she was able to ask calmly, “Deputy Xu, where is this coming from?”

“Some rumors are leaking out in regards to Su Han’s kidnapping while strict orders have been given to prohibit any leak of information!” Xu Lei looked at Lu Jia’er, longing for answers.

“What rumors?” Lu Jia’er asked.

Xu Lei hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he let out the words that had been racing around in his mind, “There are rumors that… she is a robot.”

Lu Jia’er asked another question after hearing this. “Deputy Xu, are you a man that would believe rumors?”

“I don’t believe rumors. That is why I want to hear the answer directly from you.” Xu Lei answered.

“What kind of answer are you looking for?” said Lu Jia’er.

Xu Lei fixed his eyes on her. Privately, he had been denying the credibility of those rumors. However, with this response from Lu Jia’er, he had come to some understanding. “Okay. I see!”

“What do you see?” Lu Jia’er asked while knowing what he was thinking.

“If Su Han is a robot, then Professor Lu, you…” Xu Lei paused at this moment and stared at her.

As a Deputy Captain of the criminal police unit, Xu Lei excelled with his perception and keen sense. The fact that he could collect some facts during information blockage was proof that he had built outstanding methods and connections. Inside, Lu Jia’er felt both grateful and worried about the things that he had been doing.

Based on the current situation, knowing the identity of her and Su Han would not necessarily benefit Xu Lei.

Lu Jia’er gazed at the illuminated city at the foot of the mountain. Ablaze with lights, the streets extended to the end of the city like many dragon fires.
