Chapter 354: Chapter 352 Trouble at the Lu Family 5_1

"Don’t worry, Lu, just go ahead and do it, and I’ll support you when necessary!" Xia Ningxing immediately understood his meaning.

He said with a smile, "Good girl."

After saying goodnight and hanging up the phone, Xia Ningxing secretly looked forward to the next day.

The next day, Xia Ningxing was awakened by a clamor.

"Bao’er, Bao’er, get up quick, there’s trouble at the Lu Family!" Mrs. Xia rushed in while calling out, pulling her out of the covers.

Xia Ningxing woke up and rubbed her eyes with her fair fingers, pretending not to understand, "Mom, what happened?"

"Your Uncle Lu’s business is suspected of violations, it seems like he’s gotten involved with some bad group. Although I don’t know the specifics, it seems quite serious, and the authorities have already come to arrest him." Mrs. Xia let out a long sigh, sweat forming on her forehead, but she couldn’t think of anything to do:

"Bao’er, you’ve always been resourceful, see if you can do anything to help your Uncle Lu."

Putting aside the fact that their family and the Lu Family were practically in-laws, even without that relationship, based on the decades of being old neighbors, she’d help no matter what.

"Mom, don’t worry, I’ll go have a look right now."

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing immediately got up from bed and rushed outside.

By the time Xia Ningxing and Mrs. Xia reached the Lu Family’s doorstep, Mr. Lu had already been handcuffed by the authorities, ready to be pushed into a car.

His face was haggard, as if he had aged ten years in a moment.

Old Mrs. Lu desperately clung to Mr. Lu, not letting the authorities take him away, cursing loudly, "What right do you have to arrest my son, what has he done wrong!"

She was still waiting for her biological grandson Dahu to be adopted by Mr. Lu and inherit the Lu Family’s fortune, how could she let them take him away just like that.

"Old lady, as we said, prohibited items were found at your Lu Family’s construction site. We suspect Dahai has colluded with a bad group, conducting business that harms others, so we must take him in for questioning," said the authorities, facing Old Mrs. Lu’s obstinacy, explaining again with a expression of shame.

"You’re spouting nonsense and slandering my son; he would never break the rules!" Old Mrs. Lu threw a fit.

Mrs. Lu didn’t throw a fit, but she also stood there wiping tears.

Lu Tingli frowned, seemingly full of worry.

In the end, the authorities still took Mr. Lu away for investigation.

Xia Ningxing slightly lowered her eyes, her long lashes concealing her thoughts.

"What do we do now!" Seeing Mr. Lu being taken away, Mrs. Xia was dumbfounded, clutching Xia Ningxing’s arm, completely at a loss.

Seeing how distressed Mrs. Lu was, Mrs. Xia hurried over to console her, "North, don’t cry, do you not know the character of your Lu? Even I, an outsider, believe that he would never do anything illegal. As his wife, you should have even more faith in him!"

"..." Mrs. Lu, silently crying, only wanted to say that the eye drops were really effective!

"My son would certainly not do anything illegal!" Old Mrs. Lu affirmed with certainty, although Mr. Lu wasn’t her biological son, based on her understanding of his character, he definitely wouldn’t do anything illegal.

He was a man of principle.

So despite Old Mrs. Lu’s anxious appearance, she wasn’t worried at all in her heart.

However, this time she was bound to be disappointed.

Mr. Lu had indeed done something illegal, getting involved with those he shouldn’t have!

The authorities had already shut down his company, and were preparing to prosecute him soon.

At this time, newspapers and news broadcasts throughout the Capital were reporting on the matter.

That was the least of their problems; the true terror lay ahead.

Because the company had been sealed off and their capital chain was broken, their ongoing projects could only come to a halt. Forced termination meant they had to pay liquidated damages, and there were workers’ salaries to cover as well.

A careful calculation revealed that the liquidated damages amounted to tens of millions.

Even if they sold the entire Lu Family estate, they wouldn’t gather nearly enough funds.

As for Lu Tingli’s assets, they were essentially invisible wealth. Aside from his family, no one knew Lu Tingli also had businesses on the side. Therefore, everyone assumed the Lu Family was genuinely going bankrupt.

"Pay up!"

"It’s your family’s issue that your company has collapsed, but we need our wages!"

"Yes! Lu Family, pay us back! Pay us for our hard-earned money!"

The workers depended on these wages to feed their families, and now they were wailing and shouting outside the Lu Family’s neighborhood.

In truth: Who knew if their performance was convincing? They only hoped their salaries wouldn’t be docked.

Yes, these people were extras.

Since they had acted out a scene, naturally they had to follow through with everything.

Mrs. Lu looked down at these people from her window, frenetically, then collapsed onto the sofa, her face awash with tears, sobbing as if her life depended on it, "It’s over, our family is completely finished, even if I sell this house right now, it wouldn’t fill this bottomless pit. What am I going to do!"

"This bastard!" Old Mrs. Lu was almost enraged to death, her cane relentlessly striking the ground. She had her poison prepared, waiting for the moment to kill Lu Tingli and then have his cousin Lu Dahu take over, and who could have imagined this turn of events.

Her tens of millions in assets!

Gone in a single night!

Her heart!

It hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe!

"Mother, you must help Dahai this time!" Mrs. Lu suddenly gripped Old Mrs. Lu’s hand as if clutching at a lifesaver, choking up, "You’ve surely saved some money over the years, could you lend it to our family to tide us over?"

Her tear-reddened eyes were filled with hope as she looked at her.

"Dream on!" The moment Old Mrs. Lu heard this, she exploded, pushing her away harshly, her disdain plain to see: "Why should my money be used to rescue your family!"

Absolutely ridiculous!

Mrs. Lu cried even harder, "Mother, Dahai is your son, what’s wrong with a mother helping her son pay off his debts? Besides, if these people can’t get money from us, they will surely come to bother you."

"What are you joking about? Your family owes the money, why should they come to mine for it?" Old Mrs. Lu’s eyes flared with anger, glaring at her as if she wished her gaze could kill.

"Because you are Dahai’s mother, we are all one family. If they can’t get the money from us, they will surely go after our family’s direct relatives to continue demanding money, you will inevitably be affected then!" Mrs. Lu tearfully pleaded.

Old Mrs. Lu’s brows knitted fiercely.

Indeed, if the Lu Family couldn’t repay the money, those country bumpkins would certainly come to hassle their relatives, demanding that they help with repayment. That would surely turn their home upside down.

No, this couldn’t happen!

She would never allow such an incident to occur.

It didn’t take long for Old Mrs. Lu to come up with a great idea, she turned to Mrs. Lu and said decisively, "Doesn’t Lu Tingli have a girlfriend from a decent family? Why can’t you ask Xia Ningxing’s family to help with the debts?"
