Chapter 80: Chatting Between Meals
"She called me over and said she had something to say to me."
In the box of the Maple Tree House, the atmosphere between men and women is a little awkward.
Li Zhien was eating with his head down, while Lu Li took the initiative to say this.
"Hmm."
Li Zhien agreed softly, and then continued.
"I don't think you're going to be on this occasion."
Lu Li lowered his head and did not answer Li Zhien's words.
And after a while, Li Zhien spoke first.
"How's your job?"
"It's not started yet."
Lu Li replied calmly, and then picked up chopsticks and casually picked up a piece of meat.
Then, Lu Li went on to explain.
"Someone will come and connect with me the day after tomorrow, and my work won't start until then."
"Hmm."
Li Zhien responded slightly, and then said thoughtfully.
"Then you're okay tomorrow?"
"Ani."
Lu Li shook his head, then looked at Li Zhien and said.
"Your country's National Intelligence Agency found me and asked me to help."
"You want to arrest someone again?"
Li Zhien's face changed rapidly, a little angry, and a little worried to look at Lu Li.
"No, it's not."
Lu Li shook his head again, and then explained.
"It was a murder case of a foreigner on Jeju Island, because it involved international issues, and then I helped the police department solve a lot of things during the New Year's Day, so they wanted to refer to my opinion."
"The case of the Golden Port Group?"
Li Zhien asked tentatively, and at the same time his eyes were firmly locked on the landing.
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded flatly.
But immediately after, Lu Li added.
"But there are a lot of people and forces involved in this matter, so you'd better act like you don't know anything."
"I understand."
Li Zhien nodded slightly, and then continued.
"But their company is not bankrupt and settled, so there shouldn't be any threat, right?"
"Be careful, too."
Lu Li admonished.
"Okay."
Li Zhien agreed, and then looked at Lu Li ahead again.
"You're going to ...... all day tomorrow Go to the National Intelligence Agency? ”
"It depends."
Lu Li said truthfully.
"If the case can't be solved tomorrow, Neon will extradite the person and take him back to deal with it himself."
"What's wrong with that?"
Li Zhien asked suspiciously.
"Is it because of face?"
"Between countries, it must be a matter of face."
Lu Li said with a sigh of relief.
Li Zhien nodded, and then continued to ask.
"Don't you dislike nosy? Why do you help the National Intelligence Agency? I hadn't heard of this agency at all. ”
Lu Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then said helplessly.
"I, an expatriate with special skills, is unstable for your high-level executives, not only to be monitored regularly, but also to be questioned regularly, and if there is something big, it is easy to suspect me."
Lu Li spread his hands and continued.
"When I first arrived in Seoul two years ago, people from the police department often came to my neighborhood to keep an eye on me, and people from the National Intelligence Service would come to me from time to time, for fear that I would do something harmful to society."
"Then if you help them, you can ...... Wouldn't it do that to you? ”
Li Zhien guessed.
"Hmm."
Lu Li nodded.
"In addition, I cashed out a sum of money from the Jingang Group, which is quite large, and they also know it. If you help them, they won't be responsible for the money. ”
"Cashing out?"
Li Zhien frowned suspiciously.
Lu Li spread his hands again, and then explained with a natural expression.
"The reason why Jingang Group went bankrupt was because their shares were shorted, and I was one of the shorters."
"So you're making a lot of money?"
Li Zhien asked casually.
"It's more than 10 billion won."
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Li Zhien coughed, although she is a famous rich woman in the South Korean entertainment industry, the figure reported by Lu Li is almost equal to her annual income.
"Aren't you a rich woman? Why are you so surprised? ”
Lu Li raised his head, looked at Li Zhien, and asked.
"Hmm...... A little more than I thought. ”
Li Zhien stabilized his breathing and said softly.
But at this moment, Lu Li suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Zhien curiously, and then asked.
"Do you remember that we were ...... Next to the bridge in the sculpture park, did you come across that jewelry stall? ”
Li Zhien thought about it carefully, and then nodded vigorously.
"Oh, remember, weren't you given a coin, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just ......"
Lu Li hesitated, and then asked.
"I just wanted to ask you, is there anything special about the purple bracelet you bought at the time?"
Li Zhien thought about it again, and then shook his head in confusion.
"No, it's at home, what's wrong?"
No......
Lu Li nodded, then sat up straight and said casually.
"No, it's just my coin, which has recently faded, and the red letters have turned gray, maybe there is a quality problem."
"Mine doesn't."
Li Zhien said quickly.
"I've worn it a few times since I bought it, and it's still shiny, and there's a faint light at night."
"Hmm."
Lu Li answered softly, and then thought again.
Li Zhien looked at Lu Li's thinking, and then asked again.
"What about our previous films? When to see it? I'm going to have a day off tomorrow, and that's the only vacation I've had in recent times. ”
When Li Zhien said this, he looked at Lu Li with anticipation, and almost said the invitation.
"Hmmm......"
Lu Li was entangled for two seconds, and then looked at Li Zhien seriously and said.
"I promised that someone else's matter can't be pushed off, and if it ends early, I'll contact you."
“OK。”
Li Zhien nodded with satisfaction, she was also more understanding of Lu Li, after all, the latter was a man who put contracts first.
The two of them almost wiped out the remaining meat dishes in front of them, and after Lu Li simply ate a few chopsticks, he left the rest to Li Zhien.
While the latter was eating, he suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Li and asked.
"Would you like some soju?"
Lu Li shook his head quickly, and then said with a somewhat disgusted expression.
"I respect your Korean diet, but I really can't drink your soju, it's completely bitter."
"It's okay."
Li Zhien said with a smile, then put a piece of meat in his mouth again, and then raised his head to look at Lu Li.
"You know what? I'm starting to feel like you're hallucinating again. ”
"Why?"
Lu Li asked simply.
"Because you're so different from before, I can feel the warmth from you now."
Lu Li chuckled, then put down the mobile phone in his hand, and then said softly.
"I'm not really an ice cube either."
