Chapter 1603: Chapter 1603 Whose Card Is This

Luo Qiao watched him finish his work and then said, "Hurry up and take your clothes off, I’ll wash them for you. You’re getting messier by the day."

Lu Yichen teased with a smile, "If I’m messy, then others won’t blame me but will say I married a lazy wife."

Luo Qiao reached out and gave him a punch, "Come on, stop joking."

Lu Yichen took off his clothes and handed them to Luo Qiao, then started to unfasten his belt, "Wash the pants as well; they must have picked up the smell of alcohol too."

Luo Qiao habitually rummaged through his clothes pockets but surprisingly found a bank card.

Luo Qiao frowned and looked at Lu Chen, "Whose card is this?"

Lu Yichen took it and looked at it, "Seems this outfit can’t be washed yet. I need to step out for a bit; wait for me at home."

Luo Qiao held him back, "I’ll go with you. You’ve been drinking, you definitely can’t drive, and it’s too late to hail a cab."

Lu Yichen wanted to give Luo Qiao a kiss but was pushed away unceremoniously by his wife, "You smell of alcohol, don’t intoxicate me."

The kids were already asleep, and they didn’t disturb the elderly couple in the front yard. The couple locked the door from the outside and drove straight to the station.

Lu Yichen made a few calls on the way to notify the relevant personnel to be present.

Upon reaching the station, Luo Qiao spoke up, "I’ll wait in the car and not go in with you. Finish up quickly and come out."

Lu Yichen didn’t want her to freeze in the car, "It’s cold in the car. If you don’t want to go upstairs, you can wait in the lobby."

Luo Qiao shook her head, "No need, there’s warm air in the car."

Lu Yichen couldn’t change her mind, so he went in alone, thinking he must finish quickly and come back down so she wouldn’t be cold.

Upstairs, several people were already waiting in the small meeting room.

As soon as he entered, someone asked, "What’s going on?"

Lu Yichen slapped the card from his pocket onto the table, "Looks like running into Zhou Qingxiang today wasn’t by accident; he deliberately arranged it. Seems there’s a mole in our team, and he’s aware of my every move.

He didn’t make any requests at the dinner table today; he just spilled a glass of wine on me, probably when he slipped the card into my clothes. If my wife hadn’t wanted to wash the clothes, this card might not have been discovered in time."

After making the necessary records, the few people chatted for a bit before leaving the station.

When Luo Qiao saw him approaching, she started the car, "You were pretty quick."

Lu Yichen said, "Just handed over the things and took the receipt; better safe than sorry."

Luo Qiao turned to look at him, "That classmate of yours must be trouble; stay away from him so there are no misunderstandings later."

Lu Yichen chuckled. His little wife was indeed perceptive, able to guess right away.

They had been busy with this case recently, and it was in the closing stage. His classmate wasn’t a key figure but was involved. Now he’s likely at a dead end, trying to make a gamble.

By the time they got home, it was already dawn.

Before taking a shower, Lu Yichen didn’t forget to toss the clothes into the washing machine.

After showering, he hung the clothes, dried his hair, and then got into bed. Luo Qiao was already half-asleep. He whispered in her ear, "Qiao Bao, smell it, no scent now."

Luo Qiao was too sleepy, turned over, and mumbled, "Stop bothering, sleep."

Lu Yichen laughed out loud, turned off the lamp, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead, "Sweetheart, goodnight."

Then he held her tightly and drifted into a deep sleep.
