When it was getting dark, Lu Jiaguang came over. Seeing him, Lu Jiaxin's mood became bad again.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiaguang did not blame her, but asked kindly: "Have you had dinner? I bought two pork elbows in sauce. If you haven't eaten, let's eat together."

Lu Jiaxin's expression eased a lot, and she said, "I didn't have much appetite, so I drank a bowl of red date porridge. Brother, you were on a business trip, so why are you back?"

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "I will come back when I am done. Girl, you are not in good health, so you should eat well. I haven't cooked for a long time, so I will make two bowls of noodles, one for each of us."

Lu Jiaxin did not refuse and followed him into the kitchen to light the fire.

Xiaoqiu and Xuemao wanted to help, but were stopped by Qian Xiaoxiao: "Brother Lu must have something to say to Sister Xin, everyone go back to the house and don't disturb them."

Looking at Lu Jiaguang's appearance, he doesn't seem to be here to call for punishment, but he can't be careless. Compared with Lu Jiajie, Brother Lu is really much better. Lu Jiajie dared to lose his temper with Sister Xin, and didn't think about whose credit it was for his good life today.

Lu Jiaxin lit the fire and asked, "Brother, did you come back early for my dad's matter?"

Lu Jiaguang did not deny it. He said, "It's all done. I had planned to drink with two of my comrades tonight. But after what happened to my uncle, I didn't feel like drinking, so I came back."

Lu Jiaxin is not someone who avoids questions. She said directly: "Brother, Fifth Brother came to scold me for being cold-blooded this morning. Do you also think that I am cold-blooded for reporting Ding Jing?"

Lu Jiaguang said: "I know you won't let Ding Jing go, but I didn't know you would retaliate against her in this way. I found out last night, and I feel relieved."

He was afraid that Lu Jiaxin would go astray in order to avenge Ding Jingjian, which would easily lead to her crossing the line and ruin her bright future. This method was a good one, as it allowed him to vent his anger without getting his hands dirty.

Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "So, brother, you are not angry anymore?"

Lu Jiaguang did not answer but asked: "When did you get the evidence of Ding Jing's bribery?"

Just as Ding Jing brought her aunt's family here, Jia Xin went to Hong Kong and reported her, and also provided a lot of solid evidence. It couldn't be such a coincidence, the evidence must have been obtained a long time ago.

Lu Jiaxin didn't expect him to ask this: "I got the evidence in early April, but you were at a critical moment at that time, so I endured it for fear of affecting you. I thought I would wait until you got promoted before taking action after you secured this position. With the evidence in hand, you can't escape even if you delay for two or three months."

Lu Jiaguang was stunned, and never thought that it was because of him that he delayed it for two months. He felt guilty and said, "Xinxin, I'm sorry, you have suffered so much injustice, but I was unable to stand up for you because of various concerns."

Lu Jiaxin never blamed him, how could she say that? Lu Hongjun had made a great contribution to Lu Jiaguang's rapid promotion, so it was unrealistic for him to turn against Lu Hongjun for him: "You have been very protective of me. This time, I thought you would scold me like Fifth Brother?"

Lu Jiaguang said directly: "You reported Ding Jing, not Third Uncle. What's more, your report is true and you didn't wrongly accuse her. Catching a parasite like Ding Jing earlier can also reduce the loss of public property."

Lu Jiaxin felt much more relaxed: "Aren't you afraid that my dad will be implicated and go to jail?"

Lu Jiaguang was not afraid of this. He said, "I know Uncle San very well. The welfare benefits of the department store are so good. Your father is not short of money and will not be greedy for small things."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head to indicate that she didn't need it. She helped Lu Jiajie to make money because she was taken care of by him. And at that time, she needed help due to her health problems, even though she knew that he was not okay. Now that Lu Jiajie has found a way, it can be regarded as repaying the original favor.

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "Why, are you still angry with your fifth brother?"

Lu Jiaxin said she was not angry and smiled, "Everyone has their own standpoints. There is nothing to be angry about. I just hope that his business will be prosperous and his family will be harmonious in the future."

The former was possible, but the latter was difficult. With two children and Lu Jiajie being a decisive person, there was a lot of trouble between the two of them, but it had nothing to do with her.

Lu Jiaguang knew that there was a rift between them, but he didn't continue to persuade them. He just blamed Lao Wu for not having any brains.

Lu Jiaxin talked about how she was abducted again: "Brother, I met Hu Ermei on the train, and being abducted by her was indeed an accident, but my classmate Kang Tongtong who instigated me to go back home alone was instructed by Ding Jing."

Lu Jiaguang's hand holding the noodles trembled, and the noodles fell back into the pot, but he didn't care anymore: "What did you just say? Did Ding Jing instruct Kang Tongtong to coax you back home alone?"

Lu Jiaguang suspected Yang Jun and Hu Ermei and even asked someone to investigate, but unfortunately, no one found that the mother and son had any contact with Ding Jing and the Ding family. He also thought that it was done secretly, and never thought that the problem was with Kang Tongtong, because that was a high school student, and Lu Jiaguang never suspected it.

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "It wasn't Ding Jing who came forward. It was Ding Jing's sister-in-law's distant cousin who came forward to find Kang Tongtong. Ding Jing has evidence against her father. If she doesn't do what she is told, her father will be arrested and put in jail."

"How did you find out?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "I was shocked three times in a row after the college entrance examination. I was immersed in grief and was in a trance. I didn't think that it would be dangerous to go back to my hometown alone. But Kang Tongtong performed normally in the exam. It is impossible for her not to know that I would probably meet kidnappers if I went back to my hometown alone."

"Why didn't you tell us about this?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I don't have any evidence, and confronting her will not yield any results. When I had people investigate Ding Jing, I also investigated her and her parents. It turned out that her father was corrupt and took bribes and had a mistress and illegitimate children. After I found evidence of her father's crimes, I reported it anonymously."

Lu Jiaguang said: "In the future, you must discuss such things with me. You can't do it alone. It's too dangerous. Do you understand?"

If they alerted the enemy, they would kill Lu Jiaxin to protect themselves. But it was also my own negligence. I didn't expect Kang Tongtong to be bribed by Ding Jing. That vicious woman couldn't even tolerate a child. She deserved to die.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I reported anonymously, so even Kang Tongtong wouldn't have thought it was me. Besides, the security here is pretty good, and Xiaoxiao always follows me when I go out, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

How could she possibly consult Lu Jiaguang? Lu Hongjun knew that he would definitely try every means to stop her. This was the second thing. What if the woman got the news and ran away? Smuggling to the port city or hiding in the mountains, now is not as developed as in the future, hiding for 20 or 30 years will not be found.
