Chapter 45: What is your purpose?

Lu Mingyu hung up the phone and glanced again at the Rookies gritting their teeth on the training ground.

Then he strode towards the direction of the Security Department.

He felt a bit puzzled.

In Haining City, who could he be involved with, and even be arrested by the Security Department?

A few minutes later, Lu Mingyu walked into the Security Department building.

The Commander was standing outside an interrogation room, looking inside through the one-way glass.

Seeing Lu Mingyu arrive, the Commander waved him over.

"You're here, take a look, the one inside."

Lu Mingyu walked to the Commander's side and looked into the interrogation room, following his gaze.

Only one person was sitting in the interrogation room, looking uneasy on the chair.

That person looked to be in his twenties.

He had long hair that was out of place in the military camp, and his expression was very tense and panicked.

Lu Mingyu quickly searched his mind.

He could be sure that he definitely didn't know this person.

"Who is he?" Lu Mingyu withdrew his gaze and looked at the Commander.

"Don't know him?" The Commander smiled, as if he had expected him to say that.

Lu Mingyu shook his head very affirmatively:

"Never seen him, but from his appearance, he's sneaky and doesn't look like a good person."

The smile on the Commander's face grew wider: "Your eyesight is still as sharp as ever."

"This person is Wu Fei, a private investigator."

"Private investigator?" Lu Mingyu frowned; these four words immediately put him on alert.

"That's right," the Commander continued, "Today, the city bureau sent a request for assistance."

"They said they suspected suspicious individuals were active around our base, so we conveniently caught him."

"After investigating, we found out this guy came from Jiangdu."

Jiangdu.

Hearing this place name, Lu Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly thought of a certain possibility.

"What is he doing here?" Lu Mingyu's voice grew a few shades colder.

The Commander patted his shoulder and said: "We've interrogated him for a long time, but he's very stubborn."

"He refuses to say anything, only that he's here for tourism."

"However, we found some things in the equipment he carried with him."

As the Commander spoke, he handed a evidence bag to Lu Mingyu, which contained a miniature camera.

"Inside are many long-distance photos of our base, and also some photos of you."

Lu Mingyu's eyes completely turned cold, and a sharp aura emanated from him.

He looked at Wu Fei in the interrogation room as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Commander, hand him over to me."

Lu Mingyu's tone was calm, but it carried a power that made it impossible to refuse.

"I guarantee that within three minutes, he will spill everything he knows."

The Commander looked at him like this, knowing he was serious.

He nodded: "Go ahead, but be mindful of your actions."

Lu Mingyu pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in.

Wu Fei, who had been restless, stiffened abruptly the moment he saw Lu Mingyu walk in, and his pupils instantly constricted.

Although he didn't know Lu Mingyu's exact identity.

But from the substantial killing intent emanating from the other party, he instinctively felt immense fear.

Lu Mingyu didn't sit down; he just stood towering over Wu Fei.

"I'll only ask once."

"What is your purpose in coming from Jiangdu to Haining City?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a cold awl, piercing deeply into Wu Fei's heart.

Wu Fei's lips trembled, his face was pale, and his eyes darted around, not daring to meet Lu Mingyu's gaze.

"I...I'm just here for tourism..."

His voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, and even he didn't believe this excuse.

Lu Mingyu suddenly laughed, but his smile was sinister.

"It seems you still haven't figured out your situation."

He took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Wu Fei's chin, forcing him to look up.

"Privately investigating an active military officer, secretly photographing a military base."

"Do you know what crime this is?"

Wu Fei's body trembled violently.

He saw undisguised killing intent in Lu Mingyu's eyes.

At this moment, he had no doubt.

If he remained stubborn, this man in front of him would really kill him.

His psychological defense instantly collapsed.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" Wu Fei cried out, his voice choked with sobs.

Lu Mingyu released his hand and looked at him expressionlessly.

Wu Fei gasped for breath, not daring to conceal anything, and confessed everything.

"It...it was someone who paid me to come."

"Who is the employer?" Lu Mingyu pressed.

"I don't know the employer; I was just helping a friend investigate," Wu Fei quickly explained.

"My friend said that a friend of his friend had a boyfriend, and that man claimed to be a soldier."

"His friend was afraid her friend was too naive and might be deceived."

"So he wanted me to investigate whether that man's identity was real."

"She was afraid that man would use his military identity to swindle money and sex."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyu completely understood.

This was simply a huge misunderstanding.

Undoubtedly, that so-called "friend" was Gu Lina Zha.

And the employer who was worried about her friend being deceived must have been one of her worried close friends.

Lu Mingyu felt a bit exasperated.

His girlfriend's friends were truly quite concerned.

However, although the cause of the matter was a misunderstanding.

Wu Fei's actions were indeed illegal.

Investigating the identity information of an active military officer itself has already violated relevant laws and regulations.

He must be given a sufficiently profound lesson.

Lu Mingyu looked at Wu Fei coldly and said:

"Whether what you said is true or not, we will investigate and verify."

"Before the investigation results are out, you'll just have to stay here."

"As for how you'll be punished in the end, we'll discuss that after the investigation results are available."

After speaking, Lu Mingyu no longer looked at him, turned around, and walked out of the interrogation room.

Outside the door, the Commander was leaning against the wall, waiting for him.

"Did you get it out of him?"

Lu Mingyu nodded and briefly explained the whole story.

After listening, the Commander also had an exasperated expression.

"You, kid, what kind of situation is this?"

He patted Lu Mingyu's shoulder, his tone much more relaxed.

"Alright, since it's a misunderstanding."

"Then this person is up to you to handle."

As night deepened, a high-end apartment in the Imperial Capital was brightly lit.

Li Bingbing paced back and forth anxiously in the living room.

Her exquisite makeup could not conceal the worry on her face.

She checked her phone from time to time, as if waiting for some important news.

Ever since she asked Duan Wen to find a private investigator to investigate Gu Lina Zha's boyfriend.

Her heart had been in suspense.

She always felt that the man named Lu Mingyu was not simple, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

Just then, the phone rang abruptly, breaking the silence of the room.

Seeing the caller ID was "Duan Wen".

Li Bingbing's heart leaped into her throat, and she quickly swiped to answer.

"Hello, Duan Wen? How is it? Is there any news?"

What came from the other end of the phone was not good news.

Instead, it was Duan Wen's voice, clearly panicked.

"Bingbing, something big has happened!"

Li Bingbing's heart sank, and her hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

"The private investigator I found, named Wu Fei, was arrested in Haining City."
