Chapter 379: the

Li! Ting! Ze!

As these three words were spoken, Lu Xiao’s eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously.

This person, was he the hidden mastermind behind everything?!

Chen Hai also came over and patted the man’s cheek, leaning in to ask, “We’ve come this far, which company is it?!”

Upon hearing this, the man immediately began to panic and shook his head, the wet and wretched figure muttering, “Energy, Beijing Li’s New Energy Group.”

After these words were spoken, Chen Hai looked towards Lu Xiao.

“Captain Lu.”

Lu Xiao’s expression was cold and stern, his eyes deep and inscrutable, making it hard for anyone to guess his thoughts.

Then, he let go of the man with a simple phrase, “Let him go.”

After these words fell, he turned to leave.

However, the man tied to the chair seemed to want to stop him, but being bound, he fell directly from the chair onto the floor, gasping with difficulty, “Please, don’t tell anyone it was me who said it!”

Lu Xiao’s steps halted for a moment, but he didn’t look back.

Then, he continued walking, while the person behind him started to shout in panic, “Otherwise he’ll kill me, he’ll kill me–!”

Lu Xiao: “…”

Whether he talked or not, those who committed such heinous deeds would sooner or later meet their retribution.

…

…

At night.

Lu Xiao went to pick up Wen Xian from the film crew.

Because he had been drinking with Shen Lin that day, he didn’t drive but took a taxi instead.

He had already arranged for a background check on Li Tingze, but not through Shen Lin, as he didn’t want to involve others in this matter. Shen Lin’s help was enough.

At the moment.

Next to a bus stop, under a towering tree, stood a man.

Behind him was a wide street with constant traffic flow, and the roadside lamps cast a dim, warm light.

Faintly visible were a few wisps of remnant snow fluttering in the wind beneath the lights.

Against the backdrop of the bright traffic, he stood in front of the tree, dressed in a black down jacket, dark blue jeans, and black combat boots. These boots were standard issue in the army, thickened for the cold winter days.

The black combat boots were laced tightly, accentuating his long and straight legs.

Despite his simple and understated attire, his 188 cm stature, a perfect frame for clothes, made him look extremely good no matter what he wore, handsome and sharp.

His phone had run out of battery, so he simply came early to wait for her.

When the time seemed about right, she indeed came out, but this time, she was not alone but with many people.

Many people from the film crew came out, heading towards the side of the road as if they were congregating to hail taxis.

Lu Xiao watched this scene, his expression unchanged, one hand in his pocket, a finger pinching a cigarette, with thin streams of smoke wafting through his breath.

He truly hadn’t expected her to come out with so many people.

He saw Wen Xian, who was talking to Sister Ling with her head turned to one side, and when she turned her gaze back, suddenly, his and her eyes collided in mid-air…!

On the other side.

Wen Xian was momentarily stunned when she casually glanced and spotted the tall, well-built man standing under the big tree, it was Lu Xiao!

Why was he standing outside in this bitter winter, waiting for her? Didn’t he drive over today?

Besides, hadn’t she sent a message telling him there was a crew gathering that night, so he didn’t need to pick her up and she’d return home later on her own?
