163 Get The Melon (1/2)

”Talk? Then why did all those people have to leave?”

Hui Yin was feeling annoyed. Talk if you want to talk, just don't shamelessly tell lies and appear like a kindly old man. Such fake pretenses were jarring to the eyes.

”I didn't tell them to leave, Miss Hui. They left on their own.”

Hui Yin pursed her lips and kept silent. She didn't have the energy to deal with him any longer.

Seeing Hui Yin's impatience, Party Secretary Lee continued, ”I heard Miss Hui posted a picture of Mr. Lu online? What a clever idea, to let the whole world know that Mr. Lu is in our village and letting us take up the responsibility if anything untoward happens to him.”

Hui Yin returned his fake smile with another one of her own. ”You're thinking too much, Party Secretary Lee. This junior only wanted to know Mr. Lu's identity, and is certainly not as calculative as you say.”

Hui Yin quickly forgot that only seconds ago, she hated people with 'fake pretenses'.

Lu Shen lowered his head, an imperceptible smile tugging on his lips. But when he raised his head again, he was back to his customary icy expression.

”I deeply apologize for what our police has done to the two of you. Be rest assured, I will seek justice for Mr. Lu's injury. He Fenfang, why don't you brew a cup of tea for all of us? There are tea leaves in the cabinet of the second room to your right when you go out.”

The tea shop owner stood up and after nodding slightly to Hui Yin and Lu Shen, she then left the room.

”You say you deeply apologize for causing my injury, and yet you're not frantic to rush me into an emergency room. Why is that?”

Hui Yin didn't expect Lu Shen to speak out, but his words had a ring of truth in it. If this Party Secretary was really afraid of letting this incident badly affect the reputation of their village and their police, he should be trying to treat Lu Shen's wound as soon as possible. But having a relaxed discussion like this, he was definitely acting opposite to his words.

”Oh, I'm sure Mr. Lu is unfamiliar with villages as small as ours. We don't have a lot of vehicles, and only a flatbed truck comes once a week loaded with food and simple household goods for sale. It would take a long time for us to borrow one and go to the nearest hospital.”

Hui Yin yawned loudly. What was the point of talking with this man? He was not going to say directly whatever it was that he wanted from them.

”Party Secretary Lee, if your intention for calling us over here is to only apologize, then Lu Shen and I will leave now.”

Hui Yin stood up, pulling Lu Shen along with her. She was feeling very suspicious about this man. They needed to go outside, back to where a lot of people could prevent their enemies in the dark from acting directly against them. She knew that no matter how ruthless they were, they wouldn't create a senseless massacre.

”Miss Hui, don't be too hasty. I still have something else I need to talk about with you and Mr. Lu...ah, He Fenfang, you're back with the tea. Why don't we all relax and sit down? I still haven't mentioned Mr. Lu's car accident, have I?”

Hui Yin stiffened. Lu Shen looked at her, waiting for her decision. If he had not lost his memories, he would have certainly done as he liked without asking for her opinion.

After a brief pause, Hui Yin nodded.

The two of them sat back down.

The kind elder gave them their cups of tea, and Hui Yin nodded her thanks as she took a sip. It was the same flavor as the one in the tea shop. Because it was personally brewed, it had a better aroma and taste than manufactured tea bags.
