Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 876: It’s Like Losing Two for the Price of One

Ji Weitian hurriedly clicked into the message, quickly scanning the media reports.

She discovered that the person mentioned by the media was indeed Zhang Lingying.

The news of Lu Jing’s hospitalization had sparked various suspicions, and his sudden discharge was not communicated to anyone; only an assistant accompanied him, helping with his luggage.

The media coverage included not only text and images but also a short video.

The video wasn’t very long and had been edited, but you could clearly see that after being discharged, Lu Jing didn’t go anywhere. Instead, he took his assistant straight to an inconspicuous apartment.

When the apartment door opened, the person standing behind it was Zhang Lingying.

Upon seeing Zhang Lingying, Lu Jing immediately dismissed his assistant, personally carried his suitcase inside, and never left again...

The news had just broken, and the comments below were already in the tens of thousands, increasing at a startling speed.

The scene of Lu Jing and Zhang Lingying together had also been deliberately edited by internet users, tagged with countless question marks.

"It’s over..."

Ji Weitian finished reading the reports, slid over to Qin Nanyu, trembling, "Lu Jing and Zhang Lingying’s situation was caught by reporters, and now it’s become public knowledge."

She supposed there was no need for her to inform Leng Jian, as Leng Jian would likely find out soon.

Just as this thought crossed Ji Weitian’s mind, her phone suddenly rang.

The person calling wasn’t anyone else—it was Leng Jian!

Startled, Ji Weitian almost dropped her phone.

Qin Nanyu grabbed her arm, pulling her into his embrace, looked down, and said, "Why panic? It’s not you who’s living with Lu Jing."

"You don’t get it! I’m worried for you!" Ji Weitian stubbornly retorted, "Think about it, Zhang Lingying is now a member of our lab. If something happens to her, it will surely affect our experiment progress. Moreover, Leng Jian is also part of our lab; he treats Zhang Lingying like a sister and won’t stand by. You’re practically losing two key players at once!"

After brainwashing Qin Nanyu, Ji Weitian quickly sat back in his arms, obediently asking, "So, can you help Zhang Lingying?"

Qin Nanyu almost bought into Ji Weitian’s act, but upon realizing, he smirked with a mischievous glint, "Are you really worried about me, or are you concerned about Zhang Lingying? Or is it that you’re afraid if something happens to Zhang Lingying, Leng Jian might do something irrational?"

Ji Weitian: "..."

Before Ji Weitian could think of a reasonable explanation, Leng Jian’s call had already ended, and less than three seconds later, he was calling back again.

This time, Ji Weitian remained silent, directly handing her phone to Qin Nanyu, letting him handle it.

Qin Nanyu glanced at her, answered the call, and put it on speaker.

Leng Jian’s voice, as icy as ever, asked, "Where are you and Qin Nanyu now? I’m coming to find you."

"Qin Technology Group." It was Qin Nanyu who answered him.

Leng Jian, hearing who was on the other end, didn’t show the slightest hint of surprise, simply saying "see you soon," before hanging up.

Leng Jian moved quickly.

In less than half an hour, he arrived at Qin Technology Group.

During that half-hour, Qin Nanyu had almost gotten the whole matter investigated and clarified.

In the reception area of the CEO’s office.

Leng Jian, looking travel-worn, sat on one side of the sofa, while Qin Nanyu pulled Ji Weitian to sit across from him.

An assistant brought in three cups of coffee, simultaneously handing a document to Qin Nanyu.
