Seeing Lu Han looking dejected, Officer Ma turned around and poured her a glass of water.

Just as he was about to call his partner over to help with the investigation, Xiao Wang walked over anxiously.

"Team Leader, it's an emergency meeting. Everyone in your team must attend. Hurry up, the leaders are waiting!"

Officer Ma's heart sank, and he exchanged a glance with Old Liu.

Old Liu gestured with his lip toward Lu Han, then shook his head, revealing a deflated expression.

It's probably all for nothing again.

"You go first and buy me some time. Oh, and have Xiao Li interrogate Skinny Monkey. Tell him that Young Master Lu implicated him alone, so we can convict him without a confession!"

Officer Ma entered the interrogation room alone.

Old Liu understood, quickly walked to the bathroom, pulled Xiao Li aside and whispered a few words in his ear.

...

Office of a car maintenance shop.

Lu Zhengming waved his hand at his secretary.

The secretary took out a briefcase, placed it on the desk, unlocked the combination lock, and showed it to the manager.

Lu Zhengming said in a deep voice, "Manager Hu, this amount of money is more than enough to buy your store, let alone three or five. What do you think?"

Manager Hu pinched his chin, his big, beady eyes lit up, but he let out an "ouch!"

"Mr. Lu, it's not that I don't want to help you. I didn't open this shop for myself. What will happen to my brothers if this shop closes down?"

"Add another 100,000!"

"It's not about the money, Mr. Lu, what I mean is..."

"Add two hundred thousand!"

"Mr. Lu, look at you, you have to let me explain myself clearly, I mean..."

"Five hundred thousand!"

Manager Hu stared blankly at the imposing Lu Zhengming, his mouth agape.

The secretary of the Lu Group said slowly, "Manager Hu, I heard that those debt collectors smashed up your house. Are your wife and children alright?"

"You need to understand, our CEO Lu isn't begging you, he's offering you a helping hand in your time of need. If you don't agree..."

"make a deal!"

Manager Hu snatched the box from him and hugged it tightly to his chest, his straight back bending at a ninety-degree angle in an instant.

"And the other five hundred thousand..."

Secretary Lan tried to get closer to Lu Zhengming.

"Get things done quickly and efficiently, hand over the evidence in one hand and the money in the other. Manager Hu, don't even think about running away with the money!"

Manager Hu wiped his forehead; that was indeed what he thought.

"No, no... Mr. Lu, please take care!"
