The two hugged for an unknown how long, as if they had forgotten the time and where they were.

Lu Ming originally wanted to comfort Du Juan, to give her some warmth, so that she would stop abusing herself like this.

Inadvertently, he found that what he was holding tightly was not just Du Juan's scrawny body, but all the suffering and sorrow since she was born.

Every girl in the Changsan apartment has a tragic life experience, without exception, even if this line of work seems to be infinitely beautiful, but girls from good families who want to enter this line of work are all sold in, or traffickers, or It is the parents who are cruel by themselves.

Every girl in the Changsan apartment often narrates her tragic life experience to the guests, but most of the time they are just making up stories in order to win the sympathy of the guests and let the guests open their pockets in addition to sympathy.

There will be many versions of these stories, but their real life experiences will always be buried in their hearts and will never be told to anyone.

Lu Ming's eyes were moist, he seemed not only to feel the suffering and misfortune of Du Juan, but also the suffering and misfortune of all Chinese women.

In China, there are too few lucky girls like Sheng Muyi, Yan Xiaohui, and Yuan Mingzhu, and even lucky men like him are also few in number. This nation has had prosperity and glory, but there are more It is war and suffering.

At this moment, he seems to understand Dostoyevsky better. What he has endured is the suffering and misfortune of the Russian nation for thousands of years, and he has absorbed the milk of the suffering of the entire nation to brew his heartbreaking masterpieces.

Originally growing up in China, he never felt these things, but after he went abroad, he lived especially in the wealthy America for a few years, and traveled around various European countries.After returning to China, what touched him the most was the fate of the entire bottom society struggling in misery and misfortune.

These sufferings are real, right in front of your eyes, condensed into several individuals, that is the cuckoo in your arms.

"Thank you."

After an unknown amount of time, Du Juan broke away from his embrace and smiled contentedly.

"Thank you too." Lu Ming lowered his head and kissed Du Juan's forehead.

Du Juan suddenly felt as if he was getting an electric shock, and his whole body trembled, which made Lu Ming a little scared. He didn't expect Du Juan's reaction to be so strong.

"I know you sympathize with me and pity me, but I...I really like it." Du Juan said in a trembling voice, unable to hold back tears.

"It's not sympathy or pity. I'm not qualified to do this. Actually, I really like you, really." Lu Ming smiled wryly.

"Are you telling the truth? I'm not dreaming." Du Juan couldn't believe it.

Lu Ming nodded vigorously, stroking Du Juan's hair with one hand.

He really likes the girl Du Juan, who is beautiful, intelligent and very understanding.

If it was an ugly and reckless girl pestering him like this, he should have figured out a way to get rid of her long ago.

This is not only the truth of human nature, but also the weakness of human nature, and there is nothing to hide.

Du Juan knew that she and Lu Ming might not have any hope of getting married, and Yuan Mingzhu was an insurmountable hurdle.She is even willing to be Lu Ming's concubine, without competing for fame or face, as long as she can be with Lu Ming.

But Lu Ming is a staunch supporter of monogamy and never accepts the bad habit of taking concubines.

The Lu family also has ancestral precepts that only those in their [-]s who have no heirs can take concubines. Now that Lu Ming has not even married a wife, of course he can't talk about taking concubines.

What should I do next?

Lu Ming knew that after today, he and Du Juan would have a new relationship, but further progress was impossible.

Forget it, take it one step at a time.

The most important thing now is to find clues and rescue Zhang Ziyang, the world is not as big as this matter.

The kidnapping of Zhang Ziyang objectively interfered with his investigation of Sheng Muyi's case, which may be one of the kidnapper's goals.

But he had no choice, even if he knew this, he could only follow the other party's pace and put Sheng Muyi's case aside.

Sheng Muyi has been missing for too long, and the hope of surviving is getting slimmer, but Zhang Ziyang is still alive and well.

He couldn't bear the pain of losing Sheng Muyi, but he couldn't bear losing Zhang Ziyang even more, it was unbearable.

Lu Ming led Du Juan to the Eight Big Bowl restaurant that Sheng Muyi liked. He didn't know what Du Juan liked to eat, so he ordered all the dishes that Yuan Ziyuan and Mu Yi often ordered, and filled a large table.

"If you can't eat these, it will be wasted." Du Juan kept stopping, but it was useless.

"Eat well now, and eat well in the future. First recover your body and be obedient." Lu Ming ordered.

"Well, I'll listen to you." Du Juan nodded obediently.

In fact, Lu Ming didn't eat well in the past two days, he couldn't eat because of Zhang Ziyang's incident. Now, in order to set an example for Du Juan, he also drank alcohol and ate vegetables.

Du Juan also wanted to drink, but Lu Ming asked her to eat a bowl of rice before letting her drink.

Both of them drank aged rice wine. Although it is not as good as home brewed wine, it is still a rare good wine on the market. This kind of wine is brewed by Ba Dawan himself, and it can only be drunk in restaurants. Ask for two more jars, and take away what you can't finish.

Du Juan got what he wanted. At this time, he had a big appetite, and the speed of eating and drinking made Lu Ming amazed. The two were very happy.

"Eat slowly, drink slowly." Lu Ming had to persuade her to slow down.

He ordered a large table of dishes, but he was afraid that some dishes would not suit Du Juan's taste, so he asked her to pick and choose, not to finish all of them.This is of course a bit wasteful, but now that he has this financial strength, he wants to use it to express an attitude.

"By the way, how did you discuss with Sister Cailian in the afternoon? Is there anything about your brother-in-law?" Du Juan suddenly asked after eating and drinking.

"There is no clue yet, but it is a good sign." Lu Ming said helplessly.

He took out the letter and briefly said the matter.

"Hey, the letter I received at the church meeting? Let me think about it." Seeing the letter, Du Juan seemed to think of something.

"Did you see someone stuff this letter into the lotus picking bag?" Lu Ming asked hastily.

"I seem to have seen it. Although there were many people and the scene was chaotic, I was in a bad mood, so I sat on the side feeling bored. Someone walked up to Sister Cailian's bag and stuffed something into it." Du Juan recalled Said.

"You really saw it, can you still remember who stuffed it?" Lu Ming stood up suddenly, and couldn't help getting excited.

"Well, it seems... Let me think about it again, is this important?" Du Juan asked slyly.

"Of course it's important, it's very important. You have to think about it, who put this letter in?"

"Well, I remembered it just now. When you asked me that, I forgot again. I'll tell you when I remember it, okay?" Du Juan laughed.

"Okay, Miss Du Juan, don't play, this is a matter of life and death, just tell me, I will agree to any conditions."

"Really?" Du Juan opened his eyes wide, showing a young girl's mischievous expression.

"Really." Lu Ming said.

"Okay, take me back tonight." Du Juan smiled.

"This... change to another one, anything else is fine." Lu Ming smiled wryly, he really couldn't make the decision, even if he could make the decision, he couldn't do it.

"I'm just kidding you, I'm making you anxious, I know I'm not good enough, even if I'm your concubine." Du Juan smiled bitterly.

"Then you can be my sister." Lu Ming said suddenly.

"Oh, forget it, I know how much I am, so I won't tease you, you have done enough for me. Just invite me to eat and drink more in the future." Du Juan lowered his eyes and said.

Lu Ming could only smile wryly, he really wanted to take Du Juan as his younger sister and let her leave this cannibalistic industry, but is Du Juan really willing to do this?

These are things that I will talk about later, the most important thing now is Zhang Ziyang's matter.

If Du Juan really insisted on exchanging this matter, he might have no choice but to agree, even if it violated the ancestral precepts.Take her back, then knelt down to Yuan Mingzhu and begged for mercy.

"Actually, I was fine at the time, so I just looked around, and I saw a person walking up to Sister Cailian's bag, so I paid attention, thinking that she was taking money from Sister Cailian's bag, but she opened Sister Cailian's bag. I didn’t take anything from the back of the bag, but stuffed a piece of paper, yes, it’s the paper in your hand.” Du Juan said.

"Who is that person?" Lu Ming asked word by word.

"We all know this person, Chunyue." Du Juan said.

"Zheng Chunyue?" Lu Ming was also stunned.

Zheng Chunyue, Cailian and Dujuan are all in the same industry, but she is not so famous, but she has a very strong temper and rarely attends church meetings. People sometimes talk behind her back about where her money comes from. She was taken care of, because someone saw that men often came and went in and out of her house.

Zheng Chunyue's character is relatively withdrawn, and she doesn't get along very well with girls like Cailian and Dujuan. Lu Ming has met her a few times, but he doesn't have a deep impression of her. She looks pretty in my memory, but she doesn't want to talk.

"Do you know where she lives?" Lu Ming asked.

Lu Ming knew Cailian's address, and Du Juan's, but he didn't know the addresses of the other girls in Changsan Apartment.

"I don't know either, but Sister Cailian should know." Du Juan said.

"Du Juan, you have helped me a lot this time." Lu Ming was so excited that he rubbed his hands and wanted to hug Du Juan again, but the meaning was different from the hug when he first met Du Juan.

This is really nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get it.

He studied that letter for a long time, but still found nothing, but unexpectedly, he got a big harvest from Du Juan.

Du Juan also laughed, she was very happy that she could help Lu Ming a little bit, and she was happier than Lu Ming invited her to eat and drink.

Lu Ming immediately settled the bill and was about to leave when he remembered to ask Du Juan, "Are you full?"

Du Juan laughed and said, "I've already had enough to eat, but I just don't want to leave you, so I ate it hard. It will be a bit uncomfortable."

After the two went out, they found a taxi and went straight to Cailian's residence. He asked the driver to wait downstairs, and he and Du Juan went upstairs.

After meeting Cailian, he told the story, and Cailian couldn't believe it: "Zheng Chunyue, a vixen, did it? It's useless for me to take care of her in everything. See if I don't tear her up this time."

"Don't get angry, she just stuffed this letter in your bag, and you don't know what's going on. Don't get angry when you see her, let her explain what happened, that's the most important thing Yes." Lu Ming urged hastily.

"Don't worry, I can tell the severity." Cailian said.

"That's good, without further ado, let's go over here." Lu Ming urged.

The three hurried out and took a taxi to Zheng Chunyue's house.
