At night.
Tang Wenyi looked uneasily at the empty sofa opposite her. She bit her nails in frustration and said, âWhere did Ah Ze go? Why isnât he back yet? Did something happen? It shouldnât be! Didnât he take his bodyguards with him?â
Just as she was about to go out to look for him, she bumped into the bodyguards who had rushed back in a sorry state.
Without thinking too much, she questioned, âWhereâs Young Master?! Why didnât he come back with you guys?! Why are you only backn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
now?â
âYoung Master was taken away by the police and we were called to take a statement.â
They were dumbfounded. He had only gone out to take revenge. They did not know why he was taken away by the officials?
Tang Wenyiâs expression changed drastically!
Other people might not know what Lu Ze had done, but she knew! If those things were really exposed, she wondered if her son would survive.
She asked anxiously, âAre you sure itâs the
police?â
The bodyguard on the left pondered for a moment and said, âIt seems a little different. The direction they were going didnât seem to be the police station, but they had official documents.â
Whatâs going on?
Tang Wenyi frowned and said, âDid they say anything?â âIt seemed to be a report, right? When Young Master heard this, he asked Lu Ming if he did it.â
The bodyguard on the right had forgotten most of it.
Report?
Tang Wenyi bit her nails. She knew that the bastard had another move up his sleeve! If the conditions allowed for it now, she really wanted to kill Lu Ming with a knife! However⦠If she did not go to the police station, where should she go? Just as she could not figure it out, a voice pulled her back to reality. âIs this Lu Zeâs house?â
She looked up and saw a few people in black suits appearing at the entrance of her house. They did not look like they had good intentions.
âWho are you?â
âWeâre the investigation team sent by the higher-ups. Youâre Tang Wenyi, right? Please cooperate with our investigation. Is your husband, Lu Yaohua, at home now?â
âIâm here. May I know why youâre looking for
me?â
Lu Yaohua saw the situation from the second floor and pretended to be calm as he walked downstairs.
The man in the lead took out a document from his pocket. Other than the name and position, the rest was an official seal. He said, âWe need to conduct a carpet investigation. Do you mind?â
âI mindâ¦â
Before Tang Wenyi could reject him, Lu Yaohua quickly pulled her aside and smiled awkwardly. âI donât mind, I donât mind! Do whatever you want!â
The investigation team started searching the hall.
Tang Wenyi pushed her nominal husband away unhappily and said, âWhat are you doing?! Why donât you let me reject him?! Donât you know that our son might have been taken away by them?!â
Lu Ze?
Lu Yaohua immediately knew what had happened. He said, âDo you think youâre still the Third Miss of the Tang family from back then? Everyone has to give you face?! Donât forget, the old master almost killed us last time! He even prohibited us from getting close to him again! Perhaps the next time we meet him, itâll be our death date!â
âSo what!â
Tang Wenyi said firmly, âI want to go to Beijing! Old Master canât ignore Lu Ze!â
He rolled his eyes. Since the investigation team was here, how could Lu Ze be released so easily? He glanced at the investigation team from the corner of his eye and sighed deeply. He was really finished!
Now he would rather Lu Ze not be released for the rest of his life than be implicated!
The Tang family residence in Beijing.
Tang Wenyi knelt on the floor in silence. She was motionless, in a deadlock with the old master, who was about to sleep. It was as if the air had frozen. No one was willing to speak first.
âThird Sister, to a certain extent, youâre quite amazing. You kneel down every time you come back. Iâm afraid youâre familiar with this process, right? If outsiders know about this, our Tang family will become a joke to them!â
Tang Rongrong said cynically, âDo you know what they said about us when the factory stopped production? Even the higher-ups have started investigating the Tang family. If not for the wealth and reputation that Old Master has built over the years, do you think you would have been able to see us when you came back? You almost dragged us into an abyss of eternal damnation!â
She nudged Tang Wanxi, who was playing with her phone on the left, and signaled her to say something Tang Wanxi cleared her throat and said, âNo. 3 is really something! Every time she comes over, she has something to ask of us. So tell me, what happened this time? After all, Shanghai is not Beijing, and the power available is limited. If itâs a big deal, I think we should forget about
it.â
âTell me.â
Old Master rubbed his temples and said tiredly.
It was already very tiring to deal with the investigation by the higher-ups, and now he had to deal with family matters! Does she really think that I donât need to rest? he thought.
Tang Wenyi moved her lips slightly and said, âItâs not difficult. Because of the factory suspension evidence that bastard Lu Ming submitted, Ah Ze is now in prison.â
Prison!?
No. 2 and No. 4 looked stunned. Although playboys had many tricks up their sleeves, it was rare for them to be jailed. Because their families were protecting them, no one dared to touch them.
It had only been a few days. Why did Lu Ze disappear just like that?
They suppressed their laughter and lowered their heads with difficulty, their bodies trembling slightly.
How should they put it? If it were anyone else, they might not have laughed so exaggeratedly, but if it was Lu Ze, they were not surprised at all. They could not wait to set off a few firecrackers to celebrate!
In their eyes, Tang Wenyi had become a model of letting down oneâs teammates.
The old master could not be bothered with them and shouted angrily, âThen let me ask you! Who exactly ordered the factories to stop production! I want to hear the truth!â
â⦠It was me.â
Tang Wenyi gritted her teeth and said, âI was the one who secretly gathered the evidence against Bao Chou and Dacheng. I was the one who asked Ah Ze to come to Beijing. I was also the one who taught him how to threaten people! I didnât expect Lu Ming to obtain evidence of these things. Old Master, on account of our past ties, please save Ah Ze!â
She took all the blame on herself. She knew that only by doing this could Lu Ze survive! Because Old Master and Lu Ze had always had a good relationship, if they played the emotional card, it would be easy to get him out of jail.
Old Master stood up and hit her back with his crutch. She cried out in pain.
