Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 212 Beautiful Secretary Qin Shuang, Don't Even Think About Fooling Me, Lu Yike!

at dusk.

The plane landed smoothly at Gyeongju International Airport.

The jolt of the ground and the roar of the engine's reverse thrust woke Lu Yike up.

Exhausted and sleepy before boarding, she slept for nearly two hours and finally felt much better.

Seeing Zhao Ruilong beside him, who immediately started texting as soon as the plane landed, I couldn't help but tease him and ask:

Which vixen did you message?

"When did my driver, Lao Wan, become a vixen?"

Zhao Ruilong turned his head and asked.

"..."

Lu Yike gave an awkward smile and quickly changed the subject.

"Would you like to come to my house for dinner? If so, I'll call my mom."

"No, I'm not going. My dad's waiting for me at home to discuss something important!"

Zhao Ruilong put away his phone and glanced sideways.

"Why don't you come home with me for dinner?"

"Perfect timing, let my dad meet you, so he won't keep nagging about you."

Lu Yike immediately said with a serious expression:

"I'm fine with eating, chatting is fine too, but I have to go home tonight."

"Why can't I stay at my house?" Zhao Ruilong asked with a wicked grin.

Lu Yike rolled her eyes.

"Please spare me! I'm so young, I don't want to die!"

"Besides, I've been away on business for so long, working overtime almost every day. I need to go home and rest for a couple of days."

Zhao Ruilong leaned closer and whispered:

"Isn't it said that there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing?"

Lu Yike pushed Zhao Ruilong away in annoyance.

"But are you a cow?"

"You are hungrier than a wolf and fiercer than a tiger."

"Your parents definitely didn't make a mistake in naming you, you really are a dragon!!"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled awkwardly, "Why are you speaking such blunt truths? I've already been very chivalrous, haven't I?"

"You still call yourself 'Pity the Fragrant and Cherish the Beautiful'?"

Lu Yike, filled with shame and anger, grabbed Zhao Ruilong's ear.

"I'm completely exhausted, it hurts to walk. If you're ever this cruel again, you'll have to take care of it yourself!"

Zhao Ruilong said with a wry smile, "Their fighting strength is too strong. Can you blame me for that?"

When these words were spoken...

Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but think of Chen Yang.

I thought of her outwardly gentle and quiet demeanor, but in private she was passionate and unrestrained.

The more violent and wild it was, the more she liked it.

And what about Lu Yike?

She is a typical example of someone who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

On the surface, she is very domineering and assertive, a carefree and tomboyish woman.

But in reality, she was delicate and frail, unable to withstand a second marriage.

Apart from Chen Yang.

Zhao Ruilong also thought of the Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng sisters.

Although they were both 'delicate', they were able to take turns resting...

The crisp ringtone of the cell phone interrupted Zhao Ruilong's thoughts and also made Lu Yike open her ears.

"Mr. Zhao, this is Zhong Xiaoai. Your plane should have landed in Jingzhou by now, right?"

"We've landed and are gliding. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"About an hour ago, the Lincheng task force informed me that the robbed van had been found in Dongshan City, Guangdong Province."

"What? Found it?"

Zhao Ruilong was overjoyed.

He originally thought that in this era lacking Skynet surveillance and with limited criminal investigation methods, this was a good opportunity.

When faced with a robbery committed by a highly intelligent criminal, the case may take many years to solve.

Unexpectedly, the truck was found in less than half a month.

However, this Dongshan City...

Why does that sound so familiar?

Could it be Dongshan City, where Tazhai is located in the TV series "The Thunder"?

But even so.

The current Tazhai Village and Lin clan should not yet be engaged in drug production by the entire village and clan under Lin Yaodong's leadership.

Zhong Xiaoai quickly replied, "It was the local police who, while cracking down on maritime smuggling and going door-to-door to spread awareness, discovered a truck that had been burned on a mudflat."

"Based on the investigation of the engine number and chassis number, it was determined that the vehicle was stolen from our Lincheng area. However, the investigation revealed that the truck's license plate had already been changed."

"In addition, the entire vehicle has been burned to the point of being just metal wreckage. Our shipment is long gone. The task force is preparing to send people over overnight, but I feel that the chances of finding the murderer are slim."

Zhao Ruilong sighed, "Yes, in this vast ocean, who knows where they escaped to?"

"Moreover, the car was burned to the ground, leaving only wreckage, making it impossible to find any valuable evidence."

Zhong Xiaoai asked curiously, "Do you think they might smuggle the goods to Hong Kong?"

"That's probably unlikely, isn't it?"

Zhao Ruilong said with a wry smile, "I've only heard of people smuggling mobile phones and home appliances from Hong Kong to the mainland, but I've never heard of smuggling electronic products from the mainland to Hong Kong."

"On the contrary, I think that since Guangdong Province is economically developed and Shenzhen's electronic information industry is very prosperous, they may have already sold the goods and taken the money to Hong Kong or Macau to squander."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these highly intelligent robbers deliberately abandoned and burned the car on the beach to create the illusion that they had already smuggled themselves out of the country, thereby disrupting the police investigation."

Zhong Xiaoai let out a long sigh.

"No matter what, I feel like this batch of goods is gone forever."

Zhao Ruilong said, "It's been so many days since the incident, and MP3 players are selling like hotcakes. I estimate that the chances of finding them are really slim. Even if a few have appeared on the market, who knows how many times they've changed hands."

Zhong Xiaoai said in a low voice, "However, the case has made a breakthrough, which is much better than having no clue at all. And now, I can finally give up and work hard to pay off my debts."

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you'll earn it back quickly."

Seeing that many people were starting to disembark, Zhao Ruilong quickly said:

"Okay, that's all for now, I have to get off the plane."

"Okay, I'll try to come to Jingzhou tomorrow to officially start my job."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong got up to grab his bag.

Lu Yike looked at Zhao Ruilong and sighed softly.

"Zhong Xiaoai has really had a lot of bad luck this year!"

"My father and husband were both arrested, and I resigned to start my own business. My first batch of goods was even stolen."

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "Isn't that what life is like? It's never smooth sailing, without any setbacks."

"Yeah, didn't you also go to jail for seven years right after graduating from college?"

Lu Yike spoke her mind.

After saying it, I realized that my words were a bit hurtful.

Although Zhao Ruilong seemed not to care and appeared not to hear it.

But Lu Yike, who had said the wrong thing, still felt embarrassed and ashamed.

Feeling a little ashamed, I lowered my head and silently followed them off the plane.

While waiting to collect her luggage, Lu Yike suddenly realized a big problem.

"The reason why Zhao Ruilong, despite his prominent background, is still unable to enter politics is because he has been to prison and has a criminal record!"

"If I marry him, our child will not be able to pass the political review, and will not even be eligible to join the army or take the civil service exam!"

"In that case, wouldn't our powerful family background be wasted? Otherwise, with the strength of both our families, whether we join the military or go into politics, we would definitely rise to the top with ease!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yike suddenly looked at Zhao Ruilong with some worry.

Seeing that Zhao Ruilong was busy sending messages, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"If all else fails, I'll discuss with him whether we should register our marriage!"

"Even if we don't get a marriage certificate, we can still find a way to register the child on my household registration book after birth. Wouldn't that make the political background check pass?"

"That won't work either. If we do that, the child will be considered a descendant of the Lu family, not the Zhao family. How will he continue the family line then?"

“Then how about we have two children, one with my surname and registered in the Lu family’s household registration? That way, the Lu family will have descendants, and the Zhao family will also have someone to carry on the family line.”

"But this isn't fair to the children. What if the child with my surname doesn't want to join the military or go into politics, while the child with his surname is very interested?"

……

Lu Yike became increasingly confused as she thought about it.

He didn't even notice his own suitcase passing by.

Zhao Ruilong reacted quickly and lifted the suitcase off the carousel.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go!"

"okay."

Lu Yike silently followed behind Zhao Ruilong.

As I walked out of the domestic arrivals area, I saw the familiar driver, Wan Kui'an.

Standing next to Lao Wan was a very eye-catching beautiful woman.

She had beautiful features, fair skin, and a sweet smile.

She was tall and slender, wearing a shirt, pencil pants, and a women's blazer.

It not only looks simple and capable, but also exudes the style of a professional woman.

Moreover, it perfectly showcases her long legs, wasp waist, and graceful figure.

"Whose beautiful lady is this? Is she here to pick up her sweetheart at the airport?"

Lu Yike was muttering to herself.

But next second.

Following her overly enthusiastic gaze, Lu Yike saw Zhao Ruilong beside her.

Suddenly, Lu Yike felt a chill in her heart, and her mind went blank.

"Could this stunning beauty, who is considered one in a million and is often the subject of furtive glances, be my boyfriend Zhao Ruilong's mistress?"

"No, if she really were his mistress, he wouldn't have let her pick him up at the airport, and she wouldn't have the guts to show up in front of me!"

Lu Yike was muttering to herself.

Qin Shuang had already parted her red lips slightly.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao! Hello, Ms. Lu!"

Lu Yike frowned slightly, looking quite puzzled.

Zhao Ruilong then generously introduced:

"She is Qin Shuang, the secretary I mentioned to you. She graduated from the School of Economics and Management at Jingzhou University last year."

Knowing that this flight attendant-level beauty was just Zhao Ruilong's secretary, Lu Yike secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief handshake and some pleasantries, the group walked out.

Qin Shuang reported her work to Zhao Ruilong as she walked.

Lu Yike was soon filled with doubts.

She felt that Zhao Ruilong was still hiding something from her.

He made her aware that he had a female secretary, but she had no idea that she was so beautiful.

And that aura, that figure, that appearance...

Calling her a femme fatale of the highest order would not be an exaggeration!

And I often spend time with such a beautiful secretary.

How many men in the world can truly remain steadfast?

Furthermore, the way Qin Shuang looked at Zhao Ruilong while they were talking was clearly strange.

It's nothing like the tension employees feel when they look at their boss, afraid of being scolded for not doing their job well.

It was clearly like seeing a long-time crush, an undisguised look of affection and adoration.

but……

I'm walking in the airport terminal right now.

Qin Shuang was indeed talking to Zhao Ruilong about work.

Although Lu Yike was somewhat dissatisfied, she didn't say much.

But this led all the way to the parking lot.

She noticed that many men were staring at Qin Shuang.

Some people even turned back to look at the scene after they had walked past.

Although they are both women, Qin Shuang clearly received more attention.

Lu Yike was naturally even more displeased.

Fortunately, it wasn't far to the parking lot.

Fortunately, Qin Shuang was quite sensible and took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat.

Lu Yike wouldn't explode in anger on the spot.

But upon smelling a faint, fragrant scent in the air, Lu Yike immediately felt very uncomfortable.

Because I went on a business trip to Yanjing before, I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring many things with me.

Chen Yang, her close older sister, often took her shopping.

So she has been to large shopping malls and browsed brand-name cosmetic counters.

The moment she smelled it, she knew Qin Shuang was using a new, expensive designer perfume.

It smells quite nice.

But the price is also quite terrifying.

A small bottle can be worth more than half a month's salary for an average person.

Then think about her lipstick, earrings, watch...

Having worked in anti-corruption for many years and frequently studying various luxury goods, Lu Yike felt increasingly uneasy.

"Even if she's Zhao Ruilong's secretary and has a high salary, she can't just afford all those luxury items, can she?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yike saw that Zhao Ruilong was reading the report and Qin Shuang was not saying anything, so she took the initiative to ask questions.

"Hey Xiao Qin, are you from Handong?"

"No, I'm from Wenshan, Hanjiang."

What do your parents do?

"They are all ordinary employees of Wenshan Steel Plant."

"Oh, so you're not an only child, are you?"

"No, I also have a younger brother who is in college."

Hearing this, Lu Yike became even more confused.

Qin Shuang's parents were just ordinary employees at a steel factory.

I also have a younger brother who is in college, which is a time when I need to spend money.

Qin Shuang's parents raised her with great difficulty and supported her through her studies at Jingzhou University.

Shouldn't she help ease her parents' burden by sending some money home every month?

Even with a high salary, after deducting expenses for supporting one's parents, there are still daily living and accommodation costs.

Where would they get the money to buy designer perfumes, watches, lipsticks, and the like?

To further verify his conjecture.

Lu Yike continued to ask questions frequently, as if checking someone's household registration.

Qin Shuang answered all of these questions in detail.

but……

The commercial vehicles drove into the provincial party committee compound and were almost at the Zhao family's villa.

Lu Yike was still asking Qin Shuang if she had ever been in a relationship.

This made Zhao Ruilong a little annoyed.

Is your secretary now a criminal suspect?

Is it that Lu Yike, who has been engaged in anti-corruption work for too many years, can't change her work habits?

After signing a document, Zhao Ruilong handed it to Qin Shuang, directly interrupting their conversation.

"Go back to the company later and give the report to Team Leader Shi. Tell him to do the test again in the next couple of days. A major client is coming to discuss orders this weekend, and we can't afford to let things fall apart at this crucial moment."

"Okay, I remember."

"Old Wan, you can go home after you take Secretary Qin back to the company. Come pick me up at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Ruilong interrupted them like that.

The van has arrived at the villa's entrance.

Zhao Xiaohui, who was playing with her child in the small garden, immediately picked up the child and came over.

Lu Yike naturally didn't ask any more questions.

However, this does not mean that she will stop there.

After a lively exchange of pleasantries and casual conversation.

Before dinner, Lu Yike quickly sent a message from the bathroom to find someone to investigate Qin Shuang.

She compiled her questions and answers with Qin Shuang and concluded that Qin Shuang definitely had a problem.

Students who come from ordinary families and are admitted to prestigious universities are bound to have certain aspirations for their careers.

But what about Qin Shuang?

She is both talented and beautiful, yet she neither takes the civil service exam nor works for a large company.

Instead, he joined Huilong Electronics, a company that had only been established for a short time, last year.

Moreover, Huilong Electronics was founded by Zhao Ruilong after his release from prison.

Initially, she wasn't Zhao Ruilong's secretary, but a receptionist.

It's hard not to think that she came here specifically for Zhao Ruilong.

It's also very possible that someone deliberately arranged and instructed her, paying her to dress up carefully in order to seduce Zhao Ruilong!

Otherwise, Qin Shuang, who comes from an ordinary family and has only recently graduated, would not have had the connections to know that Zhao Ruilong is the son of Zhao Lichun, the top official in Handong!

She couldn't possibly have known the future; she knew last year that Huilong Electronics would develop incredibly rapidly, and that the entire Huilong Group would quickly become a well-known enterprise in China.

After sending the message, Lu Yike put away her phone and looked in the mirror.

"I don't care where you're from, you vixen, don't even think about using your beauty to seduce my man!"
