âI knew it! How could my good grandson do such a thing! As a mother, you donât teach your child well and only do shameful things all day! Those who donât know might even think that my Tang family is some small family! Iâm afraid you really want my Tang familyâs reputation to be ruined!
Although Lu Ze is usually a little arrogant, he has a good heart. If he trains for a few more years, he might be able to contribute to the Tang family! But look what youâve done! In the past, when we were in Beijing, your brain was still normal, so I trusted you with Lu Ze. Then? He went to prison! Whatâs wrong with you now!â
Old Master said resentfully, his words full of expectations for Lu Ze.
If not for the fact that he liked this grandson, he would not have agreed to see No. 3!
âDid Lu Yaohua take your brain away too? How could I have an offspring as stupid as you? You did this thing, and you were actually caught red-handed! Are you deliberately giving the other party a death sentence? If you were more careful, would Lu Ze have been jailed because of this?â
He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. Seeing this, Butler He quickly helped him to a chair and consoled him, âOld Master, perhaps Third Miss didnât do it on purpose?â
âWith her brain, itâs difficult for her to do it on purpose.â
The old master said coldly. Previously, he was worried that the child could not live without a father and because No. 3 wanted to stay by Lu Yaohuaâs side, he placed Lu Ze in Shanghai.
In the end, they had raised such a good child!
It was unbelievable!
When Tang Yajing heard this, her gaze darkened. She did not think that Lu Ze was an innocent person. With his terrible character, it was not surprising that he would do such a thing to cheat Lu Ming. However... Old Master really believed Third Sisterâs nonsense!
He doted on his grandson too much.
She looked at the shamed Tang Wenyi and snorted coldly in her heart. It worked once or twice. She wanted to see if the old master would make a move next!
Tang Wenyi, who was kneeling, silently endured the old masterâs scolding and did not retort. If not for the fact that the other party was her only lifeline, she would not have returned to Beijing to be laughed at.
âI think you know what kind of place a prison is, Old Master. Now that an entire night has passed, whether my son, who has the best food and clothes, can survive is a question.â
Tang Wanxi, who was enjoying the show, said, âItâs just a nap. How can it be so serious?â
âSecond Sister is right. Your Lu family has long been in dire straits. His days in prison might not even be as good as in the home, but at least he can have three meals a day in prison.â
Tang Rongrong added.
They could not wait for something to happen to Lu Ze in prison. It would be even better if he was disabled. After all, there had never been a precedent of a disabled person being the head of the Tang family. At that time, what could No. 3 use to compete with them? What awaited Tang Wenyi was endless poverty and decline.
She turned a deaf ear to these words and just looked pitifully at the old master, saying, âJust give that child another chance! Heâs filial and sensible. Didnât you praise him before? Iâll teach him well in the future and definitely won ât let him cause trouble everywhere! Please! He must be talking about you in prison now, Youâre his only lifeline!â
âChild?â
Tang Rongrong sneered and said, âThird Sister, are you joking? Lu Ze is already in his twenties. If heâs a child, then Iâm a child too!â
Old Master sat in his chair and was silent for a long time. Then he looked at Butler He.
It seemed that he was still soft-hearted. No matter what, Lu Ze was his little grandson. The other daughters either did not intend to have children or they were too young. Only Lu Ze was perfect.
Butler He quickly handed him the phone.
He dialed a familiar number and said, âOld Zhang, I need your help with something. My good-for-nothing grandson, Lu Ze, is in jail. Can you let him out?â
Tang Wenyi was instantly delighted. Since the old master had made a move, there was nothing he could not do! She could even see herself joyously fetching her son out of prison!
The person on the other end was shocked. âAre you sure itâs Lu Ze? That Lu
Yaohuaâs son?â
âYes, why?â
The old master suddenly had a bad feeling.
The other party said earnestly, âOld Tang, weâve known each other for so many years. I can let anyone go, but Iâm sorry, I canât do this.â
Can ât do it?
âWhy? This is just a simple matter, right? As long as the Tang family doesnât pursue the matter, why should the officials lock him up? Donât tell me you donât want to do it? I know this matter is very difficult for you, but I was the one who helped you to your current position back then. You canât stand by and do nothing this time.â
Back then, in order to go against Tang Mingkun in the political world, the old master had tried to bribe the officials. In the end, only a few succeeded. He did not know what those people were thinking. They did not even want the money that was given to them!
âThis is not a question of whether I want to help or not. Do you think itâs just a matter of embezzlement? If itâs really as easy as you say, why would I refuse to do
Old Zhang paused for a moment before continuing, âIâd better tell you the truth. Lu
Ze is now the focus of the higher-ups. Even the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee canât let him out! Because the officials have already set up an investigation team for Lu Ze!â
Investigation team?!
The old masterâs pupils constricted abruptly. âThat canât be!? Why is this happening? This matter canât have escalated to this level, right? Did he get the
wrong verdict? Moreover, heâs not from the internal system. How could he be reduced to this just because of professional embezzlement?â
âItâs not up to us to decide if the verdict is wrong. The investigation team came to a conclusion based on the evidence. You can ask your third daughter. Perhaps she has already met the investigation team. I think the Lu family is finished this time.â
When Old Master heard this, he looked at Tang Wenyi doubtfully and asked, âHave you met the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection?â
She nodded in confusion.
This broke the old masterâs last hope. He frowned and asked, âCanât you fish him
âOld Tang, are you joking with me? Lu Ze is not in an ordinary prison now. Heâs in the Double Regulations! You should know who gets locked up there, right? They said that someone handed the evidence directly to the Commissioner for Disciplinary Inspection. When the Commissioner for Disciplinary Inspection saw it, they lost their temper!â
âThatâs why the higher-ups value him so much. If I remember correctly, that person should be the son of Lu Yaohuaâs ex-wife!â
The old master took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. âAlright.â.
