"If the chat records you provided are true, Lu Fenglin won't get away with it either."
After saying that, Officer Xiao hooked his finger, and several policemen quickly put handcuffs on Gu Anrou and took her away.
"Dad, you must find a way to save me!"
As Gu Anrou was being escorted out, she still craned her neck and turned back to plead for help from her father.
Father Gu was so angry that his old face turned red. But he could do nothing but heave a long sigh helplessly. "It's retribution. This is retribution!"
The news of Gu Anrou's arrest quickly spread throughout the social circle. Even if Father Gu wanted to find someone to help, everyone was avoiding them like the plague. There was no one to offer timely help.
The Gu family's investment bank was also sealed up. It seemed that it was doomed.
The next morning, Father Lu was watching the news bulletin as usual. Seeing the situation of the Gu family, he couldn't help but sigh and spit in disdain. "Cultural relics belong to the country. How could anyone hoard them privately?"
"Father is right."
Lu Fenglin, who got up early, was making tea. His fingers flipped dexterously as he made and poured the tea with great proficiency. He poured the first cup and handed it to Father Lu.
"Father, have some tea."
"Good." Father Lu took the teacup and didn't forget to teach Lu Fenglin. "If you encounter such things in the future, you should learn from your elder brother. One must never be greedy."
"Yes, Father. I know."
Just as Lu Fenglin finished speaking, he heard his stepmother, who was watering the flowers outside the yard, let out a scream. "Who are you! Breaking into my house early in the morning. What do you want!"
It was Officer Xiao leading some people to arrest Lu Fenglin.
"Where's Lu Fenglin? Let him come out right away!" Officer Xiao's eyes were sharp.
"What crime has my son committed? How dare you arrest him!" The stepmother shouted and blocked the door to prevent them from entering.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Fenglin's heart tightened. He didn't hold the teapot steadily and it fell on the glass coffee table with a bang. The tea spilled all over the place.
Father Lu was an old hand in the business world. Sensing something was wrong, he turned to Lu Fenglin and coldly questioned him. "Lu Fenglin, what's going on? Why are the police here to look for you?"
Lu Fenglin put away the teapot and forced a smile. "It may be because of the Weishan Island tomb incident. Father, have your tea first. I'll go out and have a look."
Father Lu didn't say a word. He just slammed the teacup on the table heavily. A look of gloom crept onto his face as he coldly stared at Lu Fenglin.
"If you've done something as despicable as Gu Anrou, don't blame me for disowning you as my son!"
After saying that, the old man walked out angrily and saw his stepmother confronting Officer Xiao.
"It's impossible! You've got the wrong person..."
"Go inside. Don't make a fool of yourself outside."
Father Lu pulled his stepmother behind him with a cold face. How could she be so ill - behaved when the police were at the door.
"They broke into our house first..." The stepmother refused to go back home. Her face was full of indignation. She looked like an unreasonable shrew and wanted to rush out again to argue with Officer Xiao.
"Officer, what can I do for you coming to my house?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm Officer Xiao in charge of the Weishan Island tomb - robbing case. This is my ID."
Officer Xiao showed his ID and then looked at Lu Fenglin, who was standing on the threshold of the villa with a gloomy face.
"Someone reported that the mastermind also includes Mr. Lu the Second. So we need to take him to the police station to find out the truth."
"You can't arrest my son without evidence!"
Hearing that it was related to her son, the stepmother became even angrier. Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, she blocked in front of her son.
"Mrs. Lu, we won't carry out an arrest without evidence."
Officer Xiao frowned and said.
Mrs. Lu really opened his eyes. She didn't look like a noblewoman at all. She was more like a shrew!
"Enough. Stop making a scene!" Father Lu directly pushed the stepmother aside. His face was extremely ugly. He felt as if he had slapped himself hard.
He had just sighed about Gu Anrou's incident, and now such a thing had happened to his own family. It really made him lose all his face!
"Lu Fenglin, come here! Have you done this?" Father Lu's eyes were sharp as he stared at Lu Fenglin.
"If you dare to lie, I won't spare you!"
Lu Fenglin's face was cold. He openly admitted. "Father, I was just confused for a moment..."
Since Gu Anrou had been arrested, she would definitely confess him. It was better to admit it directly.
"You bastard. You've really grown up! How dare you do such immoral things!" Father Lu directly slapped Lu Fenglin in the face. Lu Fenglin's face was twisted by the blow.
Lu Fenglin covered his swollen face and hung his head low, making it hard to see his expression. "Father, I know I was wrong. You're right to scold me."
"Sorry, I didn't discipline him well. You can take him away!" Father Lu didn't even look at Lu Fenglin. After saying that, he pulled the stepmother and turned back into the house.
"Lu Fenglin, do you have any difficulties? Was someone forcing you to do this!" The stepmother still couldn't believe it and shouted.
Father Lu dragged the stepmother into the house and closed the door. He coldly looked at the stepmother. "If you shout again, go out with him!"
It was already a disgraceful thing. Did she have to attract the neighbors?
"Mr. Lu, please get in the car." Officer Xiao reached out his hand to Lu Fenglin.
Lu Fenglin silently looked back at the closed door. A hint of irony flashed in his eyes.
His good father was always so partial. If it was Lu Chuanbai who had done something wrong today, his father would surely protect Lu Chuanbai.
At the police station, Lu Fenglin didn't waste any time and confessed the whole process. He and Gu Anrou would both have to pay for what they had done.
The excavation and rescue work of the cultural relics on Weishan Island continued. The appearance of the millennium - old relics shocked archaeologists all over the world. Domestic reporters also rushed to interview, trying to dig out exclusive news.
But all these people were under Lu Chuanbai's orders. The security team led by Lin Tao surrounded all the entrances. No irrelevant personnel were allowed to enter.
During this period, Xu Qingqing was so busy that she had no time to rest. The only good thing was that she would fall asleep as soon as she got home at night. She didn't have to think about the awkward situation between her and Lu Chuanbai at all.
Even when she woke up the next morning and found herself in Lu Chuanbai's arms, she could remain calm.
One night, Xu Qingqing got up to go to the toilet. When she came back and lay in bed without falling asleep, a strong arm wrapped around her waist.
Lu Chuanbai, who was originally sleeping on the other side of the pillow, actually crossed over the pillow and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
In the darkness, Xu Qingqing stared wide - eyed. She was both angry and amused in her heart. She wondered why she always ended up in Lu Chuanbai's arms at night. It turned out that it was Lu Chuanbai who was still awake and playing tricks!
He crossed the line and pulled her into his arms, and even dared to lie to her!
Lu Chuanbai adjusted his posture to make Xu Qingqing face him. He met her peach - blossom eyes shining with anger and blinked.
Oops, he was exposed.
Xu Qingqing stared at Lu Chuanbai gnashing her teeth.
"Lu Chuanbai! So you've been lying to me all along. Didn't you say I slept restlessly? It was clearly you who pulled me into your arms!"
