Chapter 30 Released

“Dad, you’re not feeling well. Do you want to call the doctor over?”

Lu Han stood far away beside the hospital bed. He asked in a slightly cold voice, but did not make any unnecessary movements.

Old master Lu noticed that Lu Han’s attitude had already exceeded his control, so he suddenly sat up with a changed expression. “What do you want to do?” Lu Han took a deep breath. “Lu Wei embezzled the company’s funds but I won’t pursue the matter any further. I will also inform the enterprise to destroy the relevant information and accounts.”

“But don’t talk about the transfer of the shares anymore. In the future, Lu Wei has no right to handle or interfere with any of the enterprise’s affairs. Otherwise, I will handle it according to the enterprise’s procedures and won’t tolerate anyone violating our company’s interests.”

Lu Qi looked at Lu Han in surprise. She had thought that her father would still vaguely brush things off.

It seemed that the various things that had happened today had changed his mindset. This was a good development.

Lu Wei looked anxious and wanted to refute, but old master Lu glared at him coldly. “Shut

up!”

Nas

In the parking lot outside the hospital, Lu Han sat in the back seat gloomily. Lu Qi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, peeked at him and sighed softly.

The sunset hung in the sky. The bright red glow dyed half of the sky red and the golden light shone on the busy people.

In the police station in the city center, Lu Nuannuan stayed in a separate detention room. She leaned against the fence and shouted anxiously, “I want a lawyer! Let me talk to my family… I want to go home!”

The police officer in charge of the suspects glanced at her and ignored her. Lu Nuannuan rubbed her cold fingertips in a panic. Her entire body was trembling. The passing of time forced her to calm down.

“Please, can you help me pass this to my friend?”

“I will pay you for your hard work. Thank

you!”

Lu Nuannuan said in a low voice. The police officer frowned and walked up to her. After hesitating for a moment, he used his body to block the direction of the surveillance camera and quickly took it.

Lu Nuannuan sat in the corner, feeling more at ease. The image of Lu Qi appeared in her mind, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.

The police officer sent Lu Nuannuan’s things to the Lu family’s villa by express delivery. The maid opened the envelope and was so scared that her hands lost their strength.

The things fell to the ground with a thud. The maid recalled the past when Lu Nuannuan ran into her when she stole Xie Jiao’s jewelry to sell.

“If you turn yourself in, I’ll try my best to reduce your sentence! Otherwise, I’ll let you go to jail with me…”

The threatening words written by Lu Nuannuan with the eyebrow pencil she always carried with her fell out of the envelope.

The maid’s face was pale, but she had no choice but to go to the police station.

Ring, ring…

While Lu Qi was exercising in her bedroom, she received a call from the police station.

She drove to the police station. The chief respectfully invited her to his office and handed her a cup of strong tea. “Ms. Lu, there’s a new situation regarding the case that you reported to the police. The maid in the video came to the police station to report the case. She said that she was the one who forced Ms. Lu Nuannuan to do it. She was the mastermind behind the attempted assault.”

“Then, according to the relevant rules, we need to release Ms. Lu Nuannuan. What do you think…”

The director rubbed his knees awkwardly. Lu Qi put the teacup back to its original place, and a dissatisfied expression appeared in her eyes, “The evidence is right in front of us. How does what Lu Nuannuan said look like she was coerced? There are many loopholes in the maid’s testimony. She even contradicted herself and couldn’t explain it clearly.”

“As a law enforcement department, do you have to treat the case so carelessly?” The director was so embarrassed that he coughed twice. He closed the door of his office and simply told Lu Qi the truth.

“This matter is ultimately your family’s private matter. Lu Nuannuan didn’t cause any real harm to you, nor did you discover that they had a specific plan of action and a murder weapon prepared in advance.”

“I’ve received a lot of calls from the higher-ups over the past few days to pressure us to release Lu Nuannuan.”

Lu Qi understood what he meant and silently stared at the informed consent form placed in front of him.

“Since there’s a maid taking the blame, I advise you to agree. Otherwise, no matter how bad the situation becomes, we’ll only lock her up for a few more days.”

“In the end, we’ll still have to release her…”

Lu Qi knew she could not win against old master Lu for the time being. She picked up the pen and signed her name on the agreement.

The director heaved a sigh of relief as he took the documents and went through the release procedures.

Lu Qi looked up at the magpies flying past the window and silently curled her fingers.
