With Meng Ruyi's explanation, it's no use for the Meng family to deny it anymore.
Not to mention the person who came to make contact; he was overheard speaking Japanese, and later it was discovered that he had smuggled himself over from Japan a few years ago.
In order to obtain a legal identity in the country, he has taken several lives.
With these confessions, the task force issued arrest orders one after another, and in a short time, the entire county's public security, militia, and stationed troops were mobilized.
The main suspects have been arrested. Lu Kai, Meng Ruyi, the Meng family, and the Japanese man who was their contact are being held in separate custody and will be transferred to the provincial capital to be taken over by the National Security Bureau.
As for Lu Xing and Sun Chunmei, although they were unaware of the situation, they did indeed leak a lot of confidential documents and information about the machinery factory.
Although he might not go to jail, he would inevitably be sent to a labor camp.
The two were sent down to a farm in Northwest China, where conditions were harsh. Given their age and previous pampered upbringing, Lu Xing and Sun Chunmei would likely face a lot of hardship on the farm.
Even if Lu Xing and Sun Chunmei were unwilling, they dared not say anything, after all, the fact that state secrets had been leaked was undeniable.
The Lu family's house at the machinery factory was naturally to be reclaimed, but they were given time to pack their things and had to set off within a week.
After Lu Xing and Sun Chunmei were released, they didn't dare to ask Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi what their current situation was.
Lu Zheng did come back to visit them once.
When the parents and son met, it was as if they had never been in another world; they remained silent.
After a long while, Lu Xing finally came to his senses and gestured for Lu Zheng to come inside.
The room was a mess, and the two were packing their luggage. They couldn't take some heavy items with them, so they decided to give them away or sell them at a low price.
At least you can save some money for yourself.
The Lu family's money and Sun Chunmei's private savings had already been mostly used up to save Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi from the Revolutionary Committee. Although it hadn't worked, it had all been confiscated as embezzled funds.
On Lu Xing's side, the valuables in the safe were also taken by Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi. Those items were used as embezzled funds and evidence of Lu Kai and Meng Ruyi's defection, so naturally they could not be recovered.
The remaining odds and ends, along with the money, were their savings for their funerals.
Therefore, all the things in the house that cannot be taken with us must be sold.
Then we need to buy some thick cotton-padded coats and quilts, otherwise we probably won't be able to survive in the Northwest.
After Lu Zheng entered the room, he couldn't find a place to sit anywhere, so he had to stand.
Father and son looked at each other in silence.
Sun Chunmei, standing to the side, rubbed her hands together, looking at Lu Zheng with a guilty expression in her eyes.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything at all.
It took him a long time to finally manage to say, "Please sit down, I'll go make you something to eat."
Upon entering the kitchen, they found nothing but a little bit of noodles.
After working for half a day, I finally managed to make a bowl of noodle soup. I was a little embarrassed and said, "There's not much left at home, just have something to eat."
Lu Zheng looked at the bowl of noodle soup, said nothing, took it, and began to slurp it down.
Lu Xing and Sun Chunmei sat to the side watching Lu Zheng.
Lu Xing sighed, "Now that things are like this at home, thankfully we've been sent down to a farm in the Northwest. I've looked at the map; it's not far from your military base, so we can look after each other. Don't blame your parents; we're sorry, but it's too late to say anything now! Your parents can only rely on you from now on—"
Lu Zheng put down his chopsticks and remained silent.
Sun Chunmei hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Eldest son, Mom knows that what happened at home has implicated you! Second son is also sorry, he's a scoundrel, he was bewitched by that bitch Meng Ruyi and did such a heinous thing! But, eldest son, he is still your brother by blood, blood is thicker than water! He's getting his comeuppance now!"
“We haven’t seen him since he ran away with Meng Ruyi! We’ve only heard that he’s not doing well. Eldest brother, could you, could you find a way to go see him? See how he is doing? Your father and I are going to the Northwest soon, and we don’t know if we’ll ever see our second brother again.”
"Please, for your parents' sake, think of something, okay? We heard he was poisoned, and we don't know how he is now! Your father and I don't have any other requests, we just want to know how he is—"
Sun Chunmei became more and more upset as she spoke, and she started wiping away tears.
She had been taking care of Lu Kai for so many years that it had become a habit.
Although she knew that Lu Kai had ruined the family, she was not without anger or resentment towards her son a few days ago.
But as time went by, I never saw the second brother again. I only heard that although he was rescued from poisoning, he was left with aftereffects, and I kept thinking about him.
Now that he's being sent down to the Northwest, I can't help but worry about him.
She and Lao Lu can't go, but the eldest brother is a soldier, so he should be able to go and take a look, right?
At least let their parents know some news, so they can feel a little better.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng, who was already starving, suddenly lost all appetite.
I felt a chill in my heart, and the dumpling soup I had eaten began to churn violently in my stomach.
Unable to hold it in any longer, Lu Zheng put down his chopsticks, rushed into the toilet, and vomited violently.
Sun Chunmei and Lu Xing were startled and quickly went over to her: "Boss, what's wrong?"
"Was she also poisoned? That vicious woman Xu Zhenzhu must have been the one who poisoned her—"
The two stood helplessly at the door.
Lu Zheng felt a little better after vomiting.
She got up, washed her face, and came out, staring intently at Sun Chunmei and Lu Xing: "I've come today to say goodbye!"
Lu Xing was taken aback: "Are you going back to your unit right away? It's okay, once we get there too, we'll have a chance to reunite!"
Lu Zheng wiped his face and said calmly, "I'm going back to the army soon, but we may not have a chance to reunite in the future."
Lu Xing and Sun Chunmei looked puzzled: "What do you mean? Are you being transferred to another place again?"
Lu Xingxian realized something was wrong: "What you're saying sounds strange. Are you still resentful towards us? Do you feel like we're holding you back? Do you want to sever ties with us?"
Such things have happened far too often; Lu Xing never expected it to happen to him.
Sun Chunmei realized what was happening and immediately became furious: "Eldest son, you can't be so heartless! Your father and I are practically half-buried in the ground. Even if we've wronged you in any way, at most we've been a little biased towards the second son. Is that why you're going to cut ties with us? Are you going to abandon your parents for your future? How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful child! You've already held a grudge against us for those little things from the past, haven't you?"
He was hitting Lu Zheng as he spoke.
