To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 494 asks

  The moment the two men saw Luo Sheng, their expressions changed.

  Luo Sheng saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved: "Do you know me?"

  One man didn't say anything, and the other quickly denied: "I don't know."

   "Don't know?" Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and looked down at the two who were thrown to the ground by Shi Yi.

  The moment these two people saw her, something was obviously wrong.

   Both of them were silent.

  Luo Sheng sneered: "It's okay if you don't want to say it, then just follow Master Lin to the Ministry of Punishment."

  Maybe she was thinking too much, the two just wondered that it was Miss Luo who ruined their good deeds. Miss Luo is well-known in the capital, and countless people know this face.

   This case of serial disappearances is ultimately the responsibility of Mr. Lin, and she doesn't have to step in and take care of it.

  Lin Teng heard what Luo Sheng said, and said solemnly: "I also ask Shi Yi to help deliver it."

  For such a key person, he will not take it lightly for the sake of showing off. Right now, several subordinates are going to send the woman home, even if the two of them have their hands tied, they have to beware of the possibility of escaping midway.

  Seeing Shi Yi coming to pick up someone, one of the men shouted, "Wait!"

  Shi Yi looked at Luo Sheng.

   "Do you have something to say?"

  The man's expression changed several times, he glanced at Lin Teng and said, "We can only speak to Miss Luo alone."

  Luo Sheng pondered for a while, and said to Lin Teng: "Master Lin, why don't I chat with them first."

  Lin Teng hesitated slightly, and reminded: "Miss Luo, be careful."

  After Lin Teng dodged, Shi Yan and Shi Yi worked together to tie the two of them firmly to the chair, and also retreated.

   "Okay, now there is no one else, let me tell you about your background."

  The two men looked at each other, and one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Girl, let us go quickly, we are Jinlinwei."

   "Jin Linwei?" Luo Sheng's expression changed suddenly.

  She never expected that after staring around, the ones who were found out were the people of Governor Luo.

   After a long silence, Luo Sheng asked calmly: "Could it be that my father ordered you to do it?"

  One person lowered his eyes and said, "We are only following orders."

  They didn't want to talk about it, but it fell into the hands of Miss Luo. If this aunt ignored them and sent them to the Ministry of Punishment, it would be the governor who would be in trouble.

  Hearing this, Luo Sheng's heart sank.

  Now that she regards Governor Luo as her father, it is hard to express how she feels when she hears that the recent serial disappearances were written by Governor Luo.

  Luo Sheng walked out.

  Lin Teng was waiting in the yard, casually admiring the ungerminated persimmon tree, when he heard footsteps, he turned around.

   "Miss Luo finished asking?"

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly.

   "Did Miss Luo ask anything?" Lin Teng asked this calmly, but his heart was not so calm.

  The actions of those two people made him suspect that they were related to Miss Luo.

  Thinking of the relationship between someone who borrowed the household register from Sun Shilang and Miss Luo, the answer is ready to come out.

  Lin Teng didn't want to think so, but his rationality prevented him from pretending to be confused.

  He couldn't help thinking, what would he do if Miss Luo lied to him?

  If it’s for others, he can say business as usual without hesitation, but if it’s for Miss Luo—

  Lin Teng gritted his teeth secretly: He will naturally still do business, but I am afraid that he and Miss Luo will not be able to be friends from now on.

  Maybe Miss Luo will treat him as an enemy...

  Lin Teng thought about this, but couldn't ignore the bitterness welling up in his heart.

   "Ask out."

  Lin Teng suddenly looked at the girl who spoke.

  Luo Sheng lowered his eyes and said, "They said it was Jin Linwei."

   Even though he had some doubts, Lin Teng's expression changed after hearing this.

   What surprised him was not the identity of the villain, but Miss Luo's confession.

  Luo Sheng smiled: "I'm also very surprised. After searching for a long time, I found my own home."

  The smile on the corner of her lips was very shallow, so shallow that Lin Teng was a little at a loss: "Miss Luo, maybe—"

  Luo Sheng interrupted Lin Teng: "Master Lin please give me some time, I want to ask my father."

  Lin Teng agreed without hesitation: "Miss Luo may as well ask clearly, there may be some misunderstanding."

  Even if he has no friendship with Miss Luo, he still thinks it is most appropriate for Miss Luo to ask Governor Luo.

  As the governor of Luo, it is not impossible for him to insist on investigating, but there is a lot of resistance.

  Luo Sheng looked at Lin Teng, and said seriously: "Before I ask clearly, I hope Mr. Lin will not alarm others."

  Lin Teng nodded: "Naturally. I'll go back to the Yamen and wait for news from Miss Luo."

  Luo Sheng watched Lin Teng leave, and sent someone to the Jinlinwei yamen to invite Governor Luo.

   Governor Luo received the news that Coke is broken.

  It's almost noon, Sheng'er invites him to the restaurant at this time, is she going to take care of the meal?

  Luo Dadu went to a wine shop happily.

  In the lobby, there are only the female shopkeeper and Hongdou, who is dozing off with her chin in her hands.

  Hearing the female shopkeeper's greeting to Governor Luo, Hongdou suddenly jumped up: "Governor, Miss, please go to the back."

  Governor Luo didn't think much, and followed Hongdou to the back.

   "Sheng'er is in there? Why don't you sit in the lobby—" Chief Governor Luo entered the hall, and when he saw two people tied to chairs and gagged, his voice stopped abruptly.

  Luo Sheng came out from the Westinghouse, quietly looking at Governor Luo.

   Governor Luo pointed at the two in astonishment: "Sheng'er, what's going on?"

   "Father, go inside and talk."

  The Westinghouse is arranged like a study, spacious and bright.

  Governor Luo randomly picked a chair and sat down, and hurriedly asked, "Sheng'er, could it be that the two of them have offended you?"

  Up to this point, Governor Luo hadn't thought of anything else at all, only thought that the two of them had accidentally bumped into their daughter's hands.

  Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I didn't offend me, but they kidnapped a woman in broad daylight, and I ran into it."

   Governor Luo's face suddenly changed: "These two **** are really lawless—"

   "Father, they said you arranged it."

   "Nonsense!" Governor Luo blurted out, met Luo Sheng's calm and dark eyes, and suddenly couldn't continue.

  If Sheng'er knew that he was lying without changing his face, how would he look at him?

  Luo Sheng pursed his lips, and said directly: "Lin Teng of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is investigating a serial disappearance case recently. The missing women are all related to father?"

  Since she intends to speak out, she doesn't want to give Governor Luo a chance to cover up and defend herself. If so, it will only embarrass Governor Luo even more in the end.

   "Shenger—" Governor Luo opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

   Should he admit to his daughter that he ordered people to harm young women?

  At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Girl, the meal is ready."

   "Bring it in."

  The door curtain was lifted, and Kerr walked in with a tray, on which were a bowl of steaming noodles with fried sauce, a plate of crispy meat, and a jug of wine.

  Luo Sheng picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine, handed it to Governor Luo, pursed his lips and asked, "Can father tell me the reason for doing this?"
