Even bystanders couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the sins committed by adults were now being borne by the children.
The two children were so innocent; it's such a pity!
The two children are gone, and the Lu family members are either imprisoned or still in the hospital.
The weather was hot, and the bodies couldn't be left out for long, so for a while, no one could be found to collect and bury the two children.
Meng Ruyi's family was also thoroughly investigated, and they were all detained and interrogated.
Gu Zhiyuan and his task force were having a headache over this matter when they heard that Lu Zheng had returned.
After getting off the train, Lu Zheng and Xu Changfeng did not go to the Revolutionary Committee or back to the Lu family home first, but instead went to the Armed Forces Department.
Upon entering the armed forces department and revealing their identities, the two immediately attracted the attention of everyone there.
Lu Zheng had become accustomed to strange looks; ever since Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi's affair was exposed, he had received far too many of these stares.
Therefore, he didn't even raise his eyebrows.
Xu Changfeng, however, sensed something was wrong. He handed a cigarette to the person who was receiving them, pulled him outside to smoke, and when he returned, his expression had become much more serious.
Lu Zheng realized something was wrong and looked at Xu Changfeng.
Xu Changfeng gave him a wink, calmly finished speaking with the person receiving him, and then arranged for him to stay in a guesthouse inside the Armed Forces Department. He closed the door and put his luggage down.
He gestured for Lu Zheng to sit down: "Something big has happened here, you're probably in trouble!"
Lu Zheng's muscles tensed. He didn't know what other major incident could happen, but he could tell from Xu Changfeng's expression that something was wrong.
Xu Changfeng wasn't one to keep things secret, especially since this matter was of great importance; it could very well be the end of Lu Zheng's future in the army. Therefore, his gaze towards Lu Zheng was involuntarily filled with sympathy.
This comrade is so pitiful, so unlucky!
"Breaking news: Your family has all been arrested. Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi were planning to elope. Your sister-in-law, Xu Zhenzhu, out of love turned to hate, poisoned the Lu family. Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi were both poisoned and are still in the hospital being treated. The two children were also poisoned and have died despite all efforts to save them!"
As Xu Changfeng spoke, he observed Lu Zheng's expression, planning to soften his tone if Lu Zheng couldn't handle it.
Lu Zheng was taken aback, then asked expressionlessly, "What about my parents?"
Xu Changfeng frowned: "Your parents are being held in the security department of the machinery factory. The official explanation is that they were implicated by Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi, but the information from the armed forces suggests that Lu Kai has committed a serious crime. He stole important documents from the machinery factory and is trying to defect to the opposing forces with Meng Ruyi—"
"What?" Lu Zheng suddenly stood up.
Xu Changfeng glared at Lu Zheng: "Sit down and calm down!"
Lu Zheng was agitated: "How can you expect me to calm down?"
Anyone would be cheated on by their own brother and wife.
After being exposed, eloping would be one thing, but to defect to the enemy forces is what makes one a traitor!
Not only is the Lu family finished, but he himself is probably finished too! He'll probably have to take off his military uniform soon!
Lu Zheng thought he had endured enough for the sake of so-called family ties and the so-called harmony of the family! But in the end, he couldn't even stay in the army he loved most, and he had to take off his favorite uniform. Even a saint couldn't stand it!
Xu Changfeng restrained Lu Zheng: "You have to calm down, even if you can't! Is this the time to act recklessly? Wait for me at the guesthouse, I'll go to the police station to ask about the situation first."
Lu Zheng wanted to say something, but Xu Changfeng said, "This is an order!"
I had no choice but to agree.
Looking at Lu Zheng's tightly clenched hands, the bulging veins on his neck, his bloodshot eyes, and his hunched back, Xu Changfeng sighed silently, patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder, and left the guesthouse.
As soon as he left the guesthouse, Xu Changfeng punched the wall a few times, drawing blood from his fingers and fists, before he could barely vent some of his anger.
With a serious expression, Xu Changfeng headed straight for the police station, exuding a murderous aura.
Having not returned to Jingshan County for many years, Xu Changfeng only vaguely remembered the location of the Public Security Bureau. After walking for a while, he saw some buildings he didn't recognize, hesitated for a moment, and then stopped someone to ask for directions.
Xu Ningyan rarely gets a break, and Gu Zhiyuan hasn't had time to go home yet. Lin Hong stayed with her for two nights before Xu Ningyan persuaded her to go back.
She was quite comfortable on her own, with her lackeys guarding the yard, which was more intimidating than a grown man.
Moreover, with Lin Hong nearby, she couldn't even sneak some milk tea or something from her spatial storage to drink while she was being lazy.
Seeing that Xu Ningyan was truly unafraid to live alone, Lin Hong went home.
Because of the Lu family case, Zhou Zian has been so busy that she's rarely home. The wedding preparations are now all on her shoulders, and she has to run between the two places after get off work, so she really doesn't have any free time.
Since Xu Ningyan transmigrated, Lin Hong was the first friend she made. Lin Hong was getting married, and since Xu Ningyan couldn't help her, she thought about preparing a special wedding gift for her.
It's fine if she uses the things in her space herself, but if she takes them out to give away, it's one thing for others, but Lin Hong's partner is from the Criminal Investigation Division. If something goes wrong and it's discovered, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
I decided to go out and check out the black market to see if I could find anything good.
He hadn't gone far when a soldier approached him, his expression serious but his attitude friendly: "Young comrade, I'd like to ask, is the county public security bureau around here?"
Xu Ningyan looked him up and down, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"Keep going straight, turn right at the end of the road, then turn left again, and you'll get there!"
Xu Changfeng looked at Xu Ningyan and felt that he looked somewhat familiar, but he didn't think much of it. He nodded, thanked him, and was about to leave.
He hadn't taken two steps when two policemen came from the other side of the road. Xu Ningyan looked at them and exclaimed, "Oh wow, they're acquaintances!"
One of them was Lin Hong's fiancé, Zhou Zi'an.
Upon seeing Xu Ningyan, Zhou Zi'an nodded and asked, "Comrade Xu, what brings you here?"
Xu Ningyan looked at Xu Changfeng and said, "I was passing by when this PLA soldier asked me for directions, asking how to get to your police station. So I gave him directions."
He then waved to Xu Changfeng and said, "Uncle PLA soldier, these two are police officers. If you need anything, you can ask them for help."
Xu Changfeng stopped and nodded to Zhou Zi'an and the other man: "I am Xu Changfeng, deputy commander of the Northwest First Army Corps. I am here because of an improper relationship between the family of Lu Zheng, an active-duty soldier in my corps, and others—"
Xu Changfeng?
Aunt Xie's son?
Did they come for Lu Zheng?
Xu Ningyan looked at Xu Changfeng curiously. No wonder he looked somewhat familiar; Xu Changfeng's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Aunt Xie's.
Upon hearing Xu Changfeng's introduction, Zhou Zi'an's eyes lit up, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, you've come at the right time! Has Comrade Lu Zheng returned as well? There's something we need his cooperation on—"
