Gu Zhiyuan led the way, bringing in more than a dozen men.
Seeing Lu Xing swaying, he rushed forward and supported him. He then signaled for someone to come over and pinched Lu Xing's philtrum repeatedly until it bled. Lu Xing twitched in pain and was jolted awake.
He opened his eyes, panting and unable to speak, his eyes fixed intently and warily on Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed into Lu Xing's study and began searching.
Lu Xing took several deep breaths to barely steady himself and his mind: "What are you doing? This is my home, not just anyone can barge in! Gu Zhiyuan, take your men and get out of here right now, or I'll call security and tell them you brought men into my house with malicious intent—"
Gu Zhiyuan interrupted Lu Xing: "Do you think I could have brought so many people into your house without the permission of the security department?"
Lu Xing paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and retorted, "Maybe you sneaked in! This is my home! You're not welcome! Get out—"
After he finished speaking, he saw that no one paid any attention to him and they continued to rummage through the study. Anything in a file folder was deliberately put aside.
There were also a few people squatting in front of the safe, shining flashlights in broad daylight, as if they were exploring something.
Several more people left the study and went to other rooms.
Even if Lu Xing wanted to stop him, he couldn't. Panting heavily, with red eyes, he glared at Gu Zhiyuan: "What exactly do you want to do? Although I've fallen from grace and can only hold a sinecure now, you're just an ordinary designer in the engineering design department. You don't have the right to search my house!"
After speaking, he glanced at Gu Zhiyuan out of the corner of his eye, with a hint of contempt.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't say anything.
Lu Xing hesitated for a moment, then heard his mother screaming, cursing, and the sound of things being smashed outside.
Then hurried footsteps came downstairs and rushed to the study door: "Something terrible has happened! We've found two children; they seem to be poisoned—"
"What?" Lu Xingxian exclaimed in surprise and ran upstairs.
Gu Zhiyuan followed behind, and after rushing up to the second floor in a few steps, he saw Lu Kai's two sons, Lu Bo and Lu Tao, lying in an open room.
The two children had bluish faces, white foam around their mouths, vomit on the ground, and stools and other debris that had been knocked over by the children during their struggle. It was clear they had been poisoned.
Even if Lu Xing was cunning and shrewd, the successive blows left him at a loss, and he could only stand aside, not knowing how to react.
Gu Zhiyuan stepped forward and checked with his hand; the two children still had faint breaths.
He quickly picked up one child himself and gestured to another subordinate to pick up the other child, saying, "They're still breathing, get them to the hospital quickly!"
After saying that, he ran downstairs, shouting as he ran, "Seal off the Lu family's residence! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Lu Xing came to his senses and tried to follow, but was stopped by someone.
She could only watch helplessly as Gu Zhiyuan and another man ran out of the yard with the child in their arms.
The commotion drew a crowd outside, and when they saw Gu Zhiyuan and a strange man carrying two soft, barely breathing children, the crowd erupted in uproar.
No one knew what had happened to the Lu family, but saving lives was the priority at this moment. Immediately, someone pushed out a bicycle: "Quickly, grab the child and get on the bike, ride faster!"
Gu Zhiyuan and his companion picked up the child and jumped onto the back of the bicycle. The rider pedaled so hard that sparks flew as they sped towards the machinery factory's clinic.
Fortunately, the health center wasn't far away, and the cyclist was fast, so it only took two or three minutes to reach the health center entrance.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Gu Zhiyuan and his companion jumped out of the back seat, grabbed the child, and rushed inside.
The doctors inside heard the commotion and came out to greet them. Seeing the situation, they quickly sent him to the treatment room and notified the nurses to prepare for gastric lavage.
After the doctor took over, Gu Zhiyuan instructed his subordinate who had come with him to stay and watch over the situation, as he needed to rush back to the Lu family.
When they returned to the Lu family home, the house was surrounded by people, who were asking each other questions, but they couldn't find out anything.
I wanted to go inside and take a look, but two burly men were standing in front of the Lu family's gate.
Some people tried to force their way in, but two burly men pulled out their badges. Well, they were plainclothes police officers. Everyone immediately gave up and just stood guard at the door.
Seeing Gu Zhiyuan return, they rushed over: "Young Gu, how are the two children from the Lu family? Are they alright? What happened to the Lu family?"
"It looks like they've been poisoned? Could someone have poisoned the Lu family?"
"Did the Lu family call the police? That's why the police are here?"
"Where are the security personnel?"
...
A cacophony of voices erupted, like a thousand ducks quacking at the same time, bombarding Gu Zhiyuan's mind until it was buzzing.
Rubbing his forehead, Gu Zhiyuan struggled to push his way through the crowd: "The Lu family's two children are being treated at the clinic, please don't block my way! I have official business to attend to, please disperse, please disperse—"
Some people stepped aside, while others, relying on their age and seniority, blocked the way and refused to give way.
Fortunately, the security personnel received the message and arrived in time to disperse the crowd.
The head of the security department had already received orders from above and knew that Gu Zhiyuan was the leader of the group surrounding the Lu family. He stepped forward and nodded, "Young Gu, if there's anything we can do for you, just let us know."
Gu Zhiyuan asked, "Has anyone in the factory seen Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi from last night until this morning? And Xu Zhenzhu, did she go to work, or...?"
The head of the security department pondered for a moment, then beckoned one of his subordinates over and repeated Gu Zhiyuan's words.
The subordinate thought for a moment before speaking: "This morning, before dawn, the brothers ran into Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi while on patrol. They were carrying a small box and were about to leave the factory. One of the brothers asked, 'What are you doing going out at this time?' Lu Kai said that it was not appropriate for Meng Ruyi to stay at the Lu family's house any longer, and it was not appropriate to send her out during the day, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was outside at this time to quietly send her back."
"The brothers asked a few more questions, and seeing that they only had a small box in their hands, which could probably only hold a few clothes, and since everyone knew about their situation, their words didn't seem to make any sense, so they didn't ask any more questions."
"However, Lu Kai didn't come back after he went out! Xu Zhenzhu showed up at the same time as usual in the morning, and we didn't notice anything wrong."
Gu Zhiyuan nodded and thanked the head of the security department and his subordinate.
They then asked the head of the security department to help them find a quiet place where no one would disturb them. They would take Lu Xing there in a while to question him about some things.
The head of the security section was a retired veteran, and having received instructions from above, he didn't ask any questions, simply nodded and accepted the order.
