Chapter 899 Let's seize the opportunity and reap the benefits.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jianshe felt a slight discomfort in his heart, and his vision began to blur.
He staggered, grabbed the table for support, and slowly sat down. He closed his eyes for a long time before saying, "Don't panic. The investigation team will be coming to the house soon. Just go with them and tell them what you know. Don't make things up. Got it?"
Although Lu Shujing was usually arrogant, she was more afraid than anyone else when something really happened. She clung to Lu Jianshe's trouser leg and cried loudly, "Waaah... Dad, I don't want to go to that kind of place. Tell them to go and investigate Lu Shengying directly. He must be the one who harmed me. Just like Mom said, Uncle's family has never had good intentions. Lu Shengying just wants to make me suffer so that you will value him more!"
Lu Jianshe opened his eyes and looked at her, feeling even more disappointed. "Why don't you think about this? This isn't something you can easily handle with your usual squabbles. It's a major event that could bring misfortune to our entire Lu family. We share the same surname, so what do you think he'd gain by harming you?"
Lu Shujing sobbed silently, her swollen eyes staring at him. How could she know what he was after? She only knew that her own safety was the most important thing.
Lu Jianshe sighed, finally feeling sorry for his only daughter. He reached out and stroked her face. "Sigh, listen to me, just say what you need to say. Don't make accusations or hide anything. Someone will investigate the truth. Do you understand?"
Knowing that crying and making a fuss would be useless, Lu Shujing bit her lip and nodded, choking back tears. She looked over when she heard a knock on the study door.
The guard pushed open the door without glancing at anyone, saluted, and reported, "The investigation team has arrived."
"Okay, I'll avoid suspicion. You take Shujing over there." Lu Jianshe didn't move, he just gave the order.
Then he looked at Lu Shujing and said, "Remember what I said, and wait patiently."
Lu Shujing nodded, dazedly got up from the ground and walked towards the door. Just as she stepped out and the guard was about to close the door, she heard Lu Jianshe ask indifferently, "Are you from the Central Special Branch?"
The guard knew what his superior meant, and saluted again, saying, "Yes, but not Comrade Zhou."
Lu Jianshe suddenly laughed. He was such a smart man that even if he wanted to settle a personal score, he wouldn't do it openly.
It's ridiculous. The older generation clearly have a grudge, yet I'm fighting to the death with a junior. The Zhou family really knows how to raise their children. And me...
Suppressing all his thoughts, Lu Jianshe gave a self-deprecating smile and waved his hand, "Alright, you can go now."
The study door was closed, leaving him alone in the quiet room, sitting there blankly until the sun outside gradually began to set. Thinking of his wife who had gone to her parents' home and had not yet received any news, he wearily rubbed his temples, got up, and prepared to go out.
…………
At the same time, inside the Central Special Branch.
"Let's see if that old fox can keep his composure now!"
"Old Zhou, that was a really ruthless move of yours. You used the same method that Lu Zhaolin used to scheme against you to turn the tables on him. Let's see how long he can hold out."
"But Lu Jianshe is the most pitiful one. Both you and Lu Zhaolin used him in the same way. Sigh, it's tragic!"
Chu Yunting casually crossed his legs, saying that the other person was pitiful, but his face was full of schadenfreude.
Zhou Yichen looked down at the documents in his hand, and when he heard this, he just raised the corner of his lips and reminded him, "Don't just be happy, there are more important things to do later, so be quick."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunting quickly put his legs down and sat up straighter, patting his chest to assure him, "Don't worry, Lu Zhaolin has been keeping an eye on things, just waiting for him to lose his temper."
No matter how much that cunning scoundrel and that unlucky Lu Jianshe think, they could never have known that the things in Lu Shujing's bag were planted by us. Once Lu Shujing confesses about Lu Shengying, and Lu Jianshe becomes suspicious and no longer trusts Lu Zhaolin, the two brothers will fight, and we'll seize the opportunity to reap the benefits.
