Chapter 147 The Lu Family is Finished! Grandpa's Ruthless Methods!
"Take all three of them away!"
Qin Lie gave the order, his voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion.
He carefully took his sleeping daughter, Qin Zhao, from Jiang Wu's arms and held her tightly in his embrace.
Two special forces soldiers stepped forward and dragged the three kidnappers, who were still convulsing on the ground, away.
They all sensed something was wrong when they touched the kidnapper's body.
The chill could be felt even through the combat gloves.
"Minister, these three people... something's very wrong!" a veteran reported. "We suspect they've been poisoned with some kind of neurotoxin; their vital signs are rapidly deteriorating!"
Qin Lie didn't turn around. He looked down at his daughter in his arms, then glanced at his son Qin Zhan, who was being carried by a guard, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Send them to the General Hospital of the Military Region and have a consultation with an expert team. No matter what method you use, before they die, pry open their mouths and dig out everyone behind them!"
"yes!"
The command was executed swiftly.
The abandoned cement plant was brightly lit, and all departments began to operate efficiently.
Qin Lie, carrying his daughter, quickly walked to Jiang Wu's side, took off his training uniform jacket, and draped it over her, wrapping her and his son together.
"Let's go home."
His voice was very soft.
The military jeep was quiet on the way back to the Qin family compound.
Qin Lie drove the car, glancing at his wife and children in the back seat through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Jiang Wu remained silent, simply holding her two children and gazing at the receding night view outside the window, lost in thought.
Qin Lie had countless questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to ask them.
He was afraid, afraid that the answer he would get would be something he couldn't bear.
But he was even more afraid of losing her.
No matter who she is or what secrets she has, she is his wife and the mother of his children.
That's enough.
They returned to the Qin family compound at three in the morning.
The entire compound was brightly lit; no one was asleep.
Qin Weijun, Zhong Tinglan, Commander Liao, Deputy Minister Zhang... The Qin family and high-ranking military officials were all gathered in the living room, and the atmosphere was tense.
When everyone in the living room saw Qin Lie carrying the child and leading Jiang Wu through the door, they breathed a sigh of relief, and some cheered.
"They're back! They're back!"
Zhong Tinglan covered her mouth and cried, then rushed over and hugged Jiang Wu and the child tightly.
"My darlings! You scared Grandma to death! You scared me to death!"
Qin Weisheng swayed slightly, and his usually resolute face betrayed his exhaustion.
He walked quickly over, leaning on his cane, and reached out his trembling hand to touch Qin Zhan and Qin Zhao's little faces, his eyes reddening.
"Good, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Everyone present who witnessed this scene secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They dared not imagine how serious the consequences would be if something happened to the two children of the Qin family.
"Report!"
Just then, a confidential secretary rushed in with a telegram.
"Sir! Urgent telegram from the General Hospital of the Military Region! Those three kidnappers... have all confessed!"
All eyes turned to them.
"Speak!" Qin Weisheng slammed his cane down heavily and shouted in a deep voice.
"They said... they were acting under the orders of the Lu family! The specific contact person was Lu Jun, the eldest grandson of the Lu family! The kidnapper named Zhao Jianjun was also found by Lu Jun through his network of connections among veterans!"
"Furthermore... they also confessed that the person who helped them evade surveillance and guards during the operation was a mysterious figure codenamed Black Crow! According to them, that person knew some kind of illusion magic!"
"The Lu family!"
"Black Crow!"
The moment those two names were mentioned, the atmosphere in the living room immediately turned somber.
Everyone looked at Qin Weisheng.
After hearing the report, the old general revealed a chilling smile.
"Well done, well done, Lu family."
He turned around and walked to the red secure telephone.
He picked up the phone, but without even dialing, he simply said into the microphone, "I am Qin Weisheng."
"Pass the word down."
"Before dawn."
"I don't want to see any more people with the surname Lu in the capital, or hear any words related to the Lu family."
His voice was steady, but every word carried weight.
This is neither an investigation nor a trial.
This is the Qin family's declaration of war.
The call ended.
The entire living room was completely silent.
Everyone was stunned by Old Master Qin's order.
They knew that from this moment on, the Lu family was finished.
After Qin Weisheng issued his order, all departments in the capital immediately sprang into action.
National security, public security, discipline inspection, taxation... countless departments received secret orders late at night.
A large net was cast towards the Lu family.
The head of the Lu family was taken away while he was still asleep.
His eldest grandson, Lu Jun, was at a nightclub when he was tackled to the ground by special police.
All companies under the Lu family were seized and their funds were frozen.
Officials and businessmen who had dealings with the Lu family were also placed under quarantine and investigation.
The Lu family, once so powerful, was utterly defeated by the Qin family and collapsed overnight.
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone into the Qin family compound.
A new report was placed on Qin Weisheng's desk.
"Reporting to the commander, all core members of the Lu family have been captured. However... according to Lu Jun's confession, the evil cultivator codenamed Black Crow lost contact with him after the kidnapping."
“We tracked him down and found that the last place he was seen was a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing, but when our people arrived, the place was deserted.”
"We also found something in a secret room in the Taoist temple..."
The confidential secretary looked somewhat strange.
"What is it?" Qin Lie couldn't help but ask. He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The secretary swallowed hard and took a photo out of the file bag.
The photo shows a torn, blood-stained black robe.
Beside the robe lay a... toothpick?
An ordinary bamboo toothpick.
Qin Lie paused in his breathing.
He recalled the case of Lam Chi-hung, the evil cultivator who escaped from the National Security Bureau's encirclement.
He recalled Jiang Wu's interrogation report, in which she mentioned that she had tried to stop the other party with a toothpick.
Now, this toothpick appears alongside a tattered, blood-stained garment...
Qin Lie turned his head and looked at his wife's room on the second floor.
