Lin Nuan told Liang Mulan about how Cen Mo had previously found out that the Lu family's ancestors were royal chefs and that they later opened a restaurant. Liang Mulan was extremely astonished as she gazed at Lin Nuan. "Why didn't Nuan Nuan inherit such talent?"
Lin Nuan thought of her own cooking skills and said after a long pause, "Perhaps the Lu family's cooking talent is passed down to males and not females."
This sentence made everyone in the room laugh. Only Tuan Tuan didn't understand. He leaned against the table and looked around, then climbed down from the stool and crawled under the table. He placed his hands on Lin Nuan's knees and crossed one leg, wanting to sit on Lin Nuan's lap.
Lin Nuan lowered her head and saw Tuan Tuan's black eyes. She picked him up and sat him on her lap.
Lin Ran still had an appointment with Gu Shaoting at noon. It was a serious matter, so she left after finishing her noodles. Liang Mulan urged Lin Nuan and Song Yao to rest for half an hour before lunch, then went to the kitchen to talk to the head chef about the dishes for lunch!
Lin Nuan couldn't fall asleep after returning to her room. She kept an eye on the situation in America.
Bai Xiaonian released a piece of breaking news while Lin Nuan was sleeping last night. At the press conference, she asked the spokesperson what crime Lu Jinnan had been accused of.
Perhaps because the son of their country's consul had been arrested, they didn't dare to accuse Lu Jinnan. However, the news of the press conference had long been released, so they couldn't possibly not hold it. Therefore, they stammered that it involved national secrets and needed to gather more evidence, so it wasn't convenient for them to say anything for now.
The reporters were all saying, what was the point of the press conference today? Was it just to ask everyone to come for a spin?
The spokesperson on the stage was also vexed. When he received the news that he would try his best to play Tai Chi today, he was already in despair. Especially when he learned that Bai Xiaonian was coming today, he felt even more hopeless. He felt like he might lose his job.
Bai Xiaonian said calmly, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll ask you a question from another identity. As the wife of the Kaide Corporation's CEO, Mr. Lu Jinnan, I'll ask the government on what grounds my husband is being detained without sufficient evidence and refusing to release him on bail without giving any explanation? Could it be that they're trying to use their status as a superpower to bully foreign nationals? "
Time seemed to stop for five to six seconds. The spokesperson seemed to be in a daze from the news. Since when were they husband and wife? I didn't receive any news!
After a while, the spokesperson said, "It's true that our country is a superpower, but we have never used our status to bully foreign nationals. About …"
"So, what crime did you use to get my husband, Lu Jinnan, to take him away? Even now, you're not allowing family members or lawyers to visit him, nor are you giving any reason?" Bai Xiaonian's tone was overbearing.
By the time Lin Nuan saw the video, nearly ten hours had passed since the press conference.
Lin Nuan didn't know if it was considered a blessing in disguise for Lu Jinnan. At least Bai Xiaonian had publicly acknowledged their relationship as husband and wife.
She wondered how Lu Jinnan was doing and if he was suffering in there.
Fu Huai 'an had some connections in the Hua Xia Empire, so he didn't rest when he went there. He worked around the clock to find out about Lu Jinnan's current situation and how they were planning to pin the crime of being a spy on Lu Jinnan. The process of being interrogated as a spy was different. There was one thing Fu Huai' an could be sure of — Lu Jinnan wasn't having it easy.
That's right, Lu Jinnan wasn't having a good time. Ever since he entered, he hadn't gotten any shut-eye from the bombardment of fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were injuries on his face and body.
At that moment, Lu Jinnan had already come out of the interrogation room and was sitting in the chair he came from.
If it weren't for the news that the Hua Xia Empire's consul's son had been arrested, Lu Jinnan would probably still be in the interrogation room where professional spies were interrogated. Now that the consul's son had been arrested, the Hua Xia Empire didn't dare to do anything to Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip. His dry mouth was filled with the taste of blood …
He still looked as sloppy as ever, not minding the fact that the State Intelligence Department had sent someone else to interrogate him.
The Hua Xia Empire sent a pretty lady over with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She placed them in front of Lu Jinnan and smiled as she apologized to him. "Sorry to have startled you!"
"It's far from startled …" Lu Jinnan took out a cigarette and lit it up. "I'm guessing that you guys originally wanted to pin the crime of being a spy on me. Later, my company or our country must have done something, so you guys had no choice but to invite me here from that interrogation room and send you over to apologize to me. Your official rank shouldn't be low, right?"
Lu Jinnan nonchalantly tapped away the cigarette ash. If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were bloodshot, no one would have guessed that this man hadn't rested for more than 36 hours.
The long-haired beauty crossed her legs and smiled faintly. "Actually, Mr. Lu, we just want to know if Mr. Ran Chaoqian brought back any information after returning to China. If you tell us, it'll be easier for us to do it, and it'll be more comfortable for you!"
Lu Jinnan chuckled. "On account that you're a beauty, I'll point you in the right direction!"
The beauty nodded. Lu Jinnan said, "Ask Ran Chaoqian!"
The beauty hadn't experienced Lu Jinnan's venomous tongue, so she didn't really mind. What kind of person could make the entire department jump in anger? He was merely an old pimp with the aura of a gangster.
"If we could find Ran Chaoqian, we wouldn't have invited Mr. Lu here!" The beauty maintained her composure. "To be honest, Mr. Lu, we've seen your brain and heartbeat reactions during the interrogation. We feel that you must have undergone special interrogation training, so we have reason to suspect that you're a spy. We all know that spies have the right to be executed internationally! So, I suggest that you cooperate! "
"Is that so?" Lu Jinnan didn't seem to mind. "Where's the evidence? Just based on my brain and heartbeat reactions during the interrogation? I'm not a nobody that you can arrest just because you want to. I'm the president of the Kaide Corporation! Otherwise … "
Lu Jinnan gazed at the beauty with his deep eyes, tapping the table with his cigarette-wielding finger. "You'll invite me back to sit here!"
Tapping away the cigarette ash, Lu Jinnan leaned back in his chair in satisfaction. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the beauty with a smile. "Is there no one else in your intelligence department? You called a big-breasted, brainless, and arrogant person to come here and waste my time? "
Lu Jinnan's gaze flirtatiously swept over the beauty's chest, then landed on her hand. "I was wrong. Your chest isn't big either. Did you just get divorced?"
