The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Xu Meng blushed a little from his stare and could not help but cover her face with her hands. She looked back at him strangely and said, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

“Do you remember the boy who secretly took photos of He Miao by the lake the other day?” Li Ming frowned and looked at the photo again. He said firmly, “That person’s surname is also Ren. I remember his name is… Ren Wei!”

Jing Yan furrowed his brows and exchanged a look with He Miao. He immediately ordered his men to investigate this Ren Wei.

He walked out from behind the desk, raised his hand to take her phone, and hung up the phone. A pair of angry eyes held her gaze. “What did Li Ming say just now? Secretly taken? When did that happen?”

He Miao subconsciously gulped. She saw his deep eyes staring at her throat, as if he would immediately open his mouth to bite her if she dared to lie, so she honestly told her what had happened that day when they were taking photos by the lake.

Jing Yan’s face darkened. He took the information from Chen Zhao without saying a word and stared at the black and white photo. He sneered. “It’s him, Ren Zhong’s younger brother’s. I see.”

“You know him?” Surprised, He Miao took out the information and read it carefully. She then realized that this Ren Wei was actually Ren Zhong’s half-brother.

After the death of Ren Zhong’s biological mother, his father immediately married a younger and more beautiful woman and gave birth to her only child, Ren Wei.

Ren Wei owns half of the Ren family’s assets. Even if this is the result of Ren Zhong’s hard work, when Ren Wei graduates, the people that his stepmother inserted into the company will definitely say that Ren Wei will inherit half of the company like his brother and have the same rights as Ren Zhong.

Chen Zhao briefly summarized what he had found out. After clearing up the details, he explained it to the two in a more concise way.

He Miao remembered the man in the hoodie in the surveillance video. She suddenly looked up and asked, “Can you make a comparison? Was Ren Wei the man who pretended to attack He Wei and abducted the reporter in the lounge?”

“It should be possible, but I need a surveillance video of him in the university. I’ve already contacted the campus, and it will take some time to get the results.” Chen Zhao wanted to compare the two videos to find similarities between the two figures. As long as they could confirm the man’s identity, they could directly capture him.

Time passed by slowly. He Miao picked up her phone and replied to Xu Meng’s message, telling her to calm down and not tell anyone about this discovery.

Xu Meng quickly promised, [Don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to the class rep. We’ll still follow your arrangements. We won’t tell anyone about this.]

[Good girl.]

He Miao replied in a good mood. Then, to ease the atmosphere, she teasingly typed, [Did you talk to your husband up close today? Anyway, I’ve already asked for leave, so you can let him sit in my seat!]

Xu Meng was talking to Li Ming when she received the message. When she saw this message, she thought He Miao was talking about something serious, so she did not cover it and opened it in front of Li Ming.

Who knew that He Miao would send such a message at such a critical moment? Xu Meng’s eyes immediately widened and she hurriedly hid her phone in her arms. She looked at Li Ming’s complicated expression and explained nervously, “She, she’s talking nonsense. Don’t think too much!”

“Yes.” Li Ming nodded slightly, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes. He pretended to not see anything and laughed, “Then I’ll go back first. If there’s anything you need help with, just call me.”

Xu Meng nodded in a daze, deliberately ignoring the disappointment in her heart. She forced a sweet smile at him. “Great, class rep. It’s so good to have you here.”

Li Ming felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly turned his head away and said, “As the class representative, I should help my classmates. I’ll take my leave first.”

The calmness that he deliberately pretended to be had been betrayed by his red ears. Xu Meng stared at his back as he ran away, not sure if he was blushing because he was shy or angry.

Xu Meng blinked her eyes and tried to ignore the happiness and luck that she should not have in her heart. She picked up her phone again and began to vent her anger on the netizens who had been led astray and sided with He Wei.

The comparison results finally came out before lunch. Chen Zhao led his technical department through all the surveillance footage of Ren Wei’s recent visits to the school. They finally found a video from the same angle as the back-end surveillance footage. The two figures had their backs overlapped.

Although he was dressed differently, his height and the way his back was bent out of habit proved that the man in the hoodie was Ren Wei.

Jing Yan was not surprised at the result of the comparison. He smiled and played with He Miao’s soft fingers. “As expected of the head of the Ren family, who can do whatever he wants. What a great move, killing three birds with one stone.”
