Lu An'an scoffed and retorted, "Is that so?"

She looked directly at Lu Rongyu and said, "Do you believe me? This time, when you're in the police station, you can only ask me to get you out."

Lu Rongyu's laughter suddenly rang out. She laughed wildly, and her laughter echoed in the air, full of mockery and disdain for Lu An'an's words.

After laughing enough, Lu Rongyu composed herself, her eyes flashing with amusement and contempt. "Fine, I'll wait until the moment I have no choice but to beg you."

Lu An'an ignored her mockery and remained calm and composed. "Of course, it won't be later than tomorrow."

Then, her gaze passed over Lu Rongyu and landed on Zhang Wenhao, who was about to leave, and she called out, "Director Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhao paused, then turned around with a fake smile and asked, "Is there anything else, Miss An'an?"

Lu An'an parted her lips slightly, her tone gentle yet revealing a hint of sharpness: "Director Zhang, regarding Lu Rongyu's attempt to harm me by drugging me, I still have some doubts about the police station's current explanation. Therefore, I formally propose that we continue to charge Lu Rongyu with the crime. According to procedure, shouldn't Lu Rongyu be immediately detained for 24 hours to further investigate the truth?"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible change flashed across Zhang Wenhao's face. He had clearly not expected that Lu An'an would try to keep Lu Rongyu at the police station from this angle.

He tried to find a reason to refute: "Ms. An'an, our police have already investigated Ms. Lu Rongyu's matter thoroughly, there's no need for..."

“Director Zhang, then I’ll be more direct.” Lu An’an interrupted Zhang Wenhao, looking directly at him with a cold tone: “What I’m concerned about is whether there are any clear regulations in the police’s procedures that allow for a second report.”

Zhang Wenhao's words were abruptly cut off, leaving him speechless for a moment. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw Lu An'an turn to look at Qi Rang beside her and ask, "Captain Qi, according to police regulations, do I have the right to file a second report on the same incident?"

Qi Rang glanced at Zhang Wenhao and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Miss Lu, if the person who filed the report believes that the case has not been fully investigated or that new clues have emerged, they can submit an application to file a second report."

Lu An'an nodded slightly, her eyes seemingly able to see into people's hearts. She looked at Zhang Wenhao, and every word she spoke was firm and resolute: "I am now formally filing a second police report with you, accusing Lu Rongyu of drugging me and my fourth brother, threatening our lives. I request that the police take immediate action to detain Lu Rongyu."

Zhang Wenhao met Lu An'an's firm yet indifferent gaze and was momentarily speechless; the air fell silent.

In the midst of this delicate silence, Qi Rang said in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, please rest assured, we will take immediate measures to bring Lu Rongyu under control."

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Zhang Wenhao's brows, and he rebuked Qi Rang: "Qi Rang! This is not your place to make decisions!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming slightly tense, a deep and powerful voice clearly reached everyone's ears from the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Then I wonder if I am capable of making this decision?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures in executive jackets walking steadily into the banquet hall, followed by Jin Fangguo and Jin Yan.

Lu An'an looked at Jin Fangguo, who had suddenly appeared, with surprise: "Grandpa Jin, Jin Yan? What brings you here?"

Jin Fangguo glanced at Zhang Wenhao beside him and said gently, "Oh, we came to find you with Team Leader Lin. We originally went to the Lu family to look for you, but you weren't home. It was Xiaoyan who happened to see the live broadcast and found out where you were, so we came over. An'an, Team Leader Lin has something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Who is Team Leader Lin?"

The team leader, Lin, stepped forward slowly with a friendly smile and introduced himself: "My name is Lin Yue, and I am the team leader of the supervisory team dispatched by the Central Supervisory Group to supervise the work."

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an's eyes widened in astonishment. "The head of the supervision team? Looking for me?"

[Hiss... Could it be that the original owner had some kind of shady background? Why is the supervisory team already contacting us?]

Upon hearing this, the entire Lu family was shocked. Could it be impossible? When they brought An'an home, they investigated her past experiences, and it seemed there was nothing about her identity that could be uncovered.

Lin Yue nodded slightly. "Yes, Miss Lu, there are some things that may require your help."

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

[Oh, help! I was so scared! I was just thinking, if it turns out the original owner has some kind of identity and it gets discovered, should I jump out the window and run away, or should I just kneel down and beg for mercy?]

The Lu family members: ...An'an, isn't this what they call "Those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others are wise and discerning"?

Lu An'an then replied to Lin Yue easily, "Sure, but could you wait until I finish what I'm doing, Team Leader Lin?"

Lin Yue's gaze swept subtly over Zhang Wenhao, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "Ms. Lu, if what you say is true, as long as the reasons are sufficient and legal, I can make the decision to carry out the police report and request that this lady be detained immediately."

[Wow, it feels so good to have someone jump in at this crucial moment to support me and slap the female lead in the face.]

Lu An'an raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her gaze fell on the somewhat dazed Lu Rongyu, her tone calm yet authoritative: "Team Leader Lin, there is both witness testimony and physical evidence regarding Lu Rongyu's attempt to harm me and my fourth brother. We hope you can handle this according to the law and give us justice."

Lin Yue smiled slightly, turned to look at Zhang Wenhao, and said in a tone that contained a warning: "Of course, since Miss Lu has evidence, why did Director Zhang only allow this young lady to give a statement?"

Director Zhang's heart sank when he saw the suddenly appearing supervisory team and Jin Fangguo. Why were these people here again? Didn't they find nothing before? Why haven't they left yet?

Although he had all sorts of guesses in his mind, he still smiled and said, "Team Leader Lin is right. It was my oversight. I will have Xiao Qi take Miss Lu Rongyu away for investigation to ensure that Miss Lu An'an gets a satisfactory answer."

After saying that, he turned to look at Qi Rang, his eyes no longer glancing at Lu Rongyu, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qi, take Miss Lu Rongyu away for investigation. We must give Miss Lu An'an an explanation."

Qi Rang's expression was complex, his lips parted slightly as if weighed down by a thousand pounds. In the end, he only glanced deeply at Zhang Wenhao, a hint of indescribable shame flashing in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and softly replied, "Yes," before slowly turning around with a bewildered Lu Rongyu in tow.

Startled from her shock, Lu Rongyu stumbled as Qi Rang pulled her along. Realizing her predicament, she screamed, "Why are you detaining me! I didn't do anything! Director Zhang! Help me!"

Zhang Wenhao's expression was stern as he shouted, "Lu Rongyu, watch your words! You are currently a key suspect in this case, and cooperating with the investigation is a necessary procedure. Please cooperate with the police and refrain from making irresponsible statements!"

Lu An'an's gaze slowly fell on Zhang Wenhao, and she felt only irony.

It's infuriating that this profession is so corrupted by parasites like these.
