Half an hour later, a low-key and ordinary black car stopped at the entrance of Bai Ning's home.
Lu Qin sent a message to Bai Ning. A moment later, he saw a tall young lady walking out of the big rusty iron gate.
The car window rolled down, and Lu Qin's elbow was resting on the windowsill. He looked at the girl walking over and asked with a smile, "You're off on the weekend. Why don't you go and deliver the stuff yourself? You can also visit your grandmother in the process."
"It's not convenient for me to do it today," Bai Ning said indifferently. With that, she handed the bamboo tube in her hand to Lu Qin.
"Oh? Could it be that it's because your foster mother is around?" Lu Qin said with a smile that was not genuine.
Bai Ning raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "Those who don't know would think that you've sent someone to monitor me,"
"There can't be any other reason besides this," Lu Qin said with a chuckle. "it's not hard to guess."
"I'll have to trouble you to make the trip today. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days." Bai Ning said sincerely.
The corners of Lu Qin's lips curled up as he asked with a mischievous smile, "You're not afraid that I'll run away with your things?"
Bai Ning had already turned around to leave, but when she heard him, she turned back and looked at him.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by, and the strands of hair by her ears fluttered in front of her eyes. She raised her arm and casually tucked the strands of hair behind her ear. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she said, "I don't need to be afraid, these things are not worth much."
After saying that, she left him staring at her beautiful back.
Lu Qin stared in the direction the girl had disappeared in for a long time. After a while, he recollected his thoughts and laughed to himself.
Dong Yu, who had witnessed the entire process, pondered repeatedly in his heart. This couldn't be his boss. There was only one possibility. His boss had been switched by someone from the family. Yes, that must be it!
Seeing Dong Yu in a daze as well, Lu Qin's face darkened, and he said coldly, "What are you thinking of? Hurry up and drive to deliver the goods."
Dong Yu was speechless.
He secretly observed his boss's expression through the rearview mirror. His boss seemed to still be the same boss...
As Dong Yu was driving, he glanced at the bamboo tube in Lu Qin's hand and asked curiously, "Brother Qin, this bamboo tube looks quite exquisite. I wonder what's inside."
Lu Qin lowered his head and looked at the bamboo tube in his hand. It seemed to be an old thing, and the hollow carvings on it were also very exquisite. He had no idea where she had gotten it from.
However, there was a symbol at the bottom of the bamboo tube that looked familiar. He didn't know where he had seen it before.
Lu Qin pondered for a moment before placing his finger on the lid of the bamboo tube. However, in the end, he did not open it. He placed the bamboo tube on the car seat beside him and muttered to himself, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Dong Yu was speechless.
Could it be that Bai Ning really had a special identity?
About 20 minutes later, the car arrived at Yan Shuhua's house.
Dong Yu turned off the engine, unbuckled his seat belt, and reached out to Lu Qin. "Brother Qin, give me the item. I'll send it up."
Lu Qin glanced at the bamboo tube and rejected, "I'll personally send it up."
Hearing that, Dong Yu said in surprise, "Please be careful."
Lu Qin glared at him and said, "You're making a big fuss out of nothing."
With that, Lu Qin alighted from the car with the bamboo tube in his hand. Dong Yu, who was in the car, scratched his head. Wasn't he on guard every day?!
…
After getting on the elevator, Lu Qin found Yan Shuhua's house very quickly and rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door was finally opened. Yan Shuhua peeked through the gap and recognized Lu Qin. She quickly opened the door and said, "It's Little Lu."
Lu Qin's usual coldness was completely gone. He smiled politely and said, "Hello, Granny Yan. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Aiya, what are you talking about? You're being too polite. Come in and have a seat." Yan Shuhua said. She quickly found a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed it to him.
Lu Qin received it with both hands. After thanking her, he changed into the slippers, closed the door, and followed the old lady into the house.
After entering the house, Yan Shuhua poured a glass of water for Lu Qin. The two of them then sat down on the sofa in the living room. Lu Qin smiled and said, "I don't have work in the afternoon, so when I passed by your place I came to see you."
"Oh, right. Granny Yan, Bai Ning asked me to pass this to you." Lu Qin took out the bamboo tube and handed it to Yan Shuhua with both hands.
Yan Shuhua was just about to pass the glass of water to Lu Qin when she heard those words. Her hand trembled violently, and the glass fell to the ground. With a loud crack, it shattered into pieces. In an instant, glass shards and water were all over the ground beneath the two of them.
When Lu Qin saw this, he hurriedly placed the bamboo tube on the coffee table and said, "Granny Yan, don't move. I'll do it."
