Chapter 124 The thing she was most worried about happened
Lu Xiao and Su Tang said this in private.
He didn't want his family to worry about this matter.
It was also because of Su Tang that Lu Xiao learned a lot and was better prepared for future prevention and control.
But even so, there were some things he still didn't anticipate.
Lu Xiao gulped down half a glass of boiled water before slowly saying, "That group of people not only stole things, but also had evidence against many people. Liu Er was selling the stolen goods for them."
"Of course, he's also a scapegoat that can be pushed out after something happens."
"What leverage do they have?"
Su Tang's voice was deeper than usual, and when he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes cast a light shadow under his eyes, as if he was thinking.
Lu Xiao glanced out the window and lowered his voice, "It's about last year's accounts from the Materials Department. When I followed Liu Er's trail to the warehouse, I saw them burning the account books."
There was a light sound of dishes colliding in the kitchen. Lu's mother was probably heating up food for Lu Xiao.
Su Tang stood up and closed the door, then heard Lu Xiao say, "Did you get scared?"
"I'm fine."
Su Tang held him tightly with his backhand, feeling worried.
"Since that group dared to burn the account books, they must have someone backing them. What are you going to do?"
"I have handed the fragments I found to Section Chief Feng."
"But Liu Er ran away, like a kite with a broken string. He knew too much. If he were silenced by those people..."
After saying this, Su Tang felt his heart beating much faster.
It’s not because of anything else, but because what she is discussing with Lu Xiao now is something that happened in the original book.
These words combined together clearly reflected the title in Su Tang's mind.
-Lu Xiao chased the murderer for thousands of miles, his life hanging by a thread.
-The troublemaker filed for divorce, severing all ties with the couple.
These two chapters are a small climax in the book, as the original owner was implicated because of Lu Xiao's affairs.
Then she was instigated by others, saying that she would be bullied after Lu Xiao stepped down, so it would be better for her to divorce him now.
So the original owner signed the divorce agreement cruelly when Lu Xiao needed help the most.
This is where the turning point of fate comes from.
After experiencing a series of misfortunes such as job changes, divorce, and the death of his parents, Lu Xiao grew up completely. In the end, he used thundering means to be promoted five times in three years and became the most powerful person.
The original owner had a miserable end and eventually died in the northwest.
The thing she was most worried about finally happened.
"Tangtang, Tangtang? What are you thinking about?"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of a bicycle bell suddenly came from outside the gate.
Father Lu lifted the door curtain and looked outside, then shouted, "Chang Jia is here!"
Chang Jia was Lu Xiao's comrade in the army. He arrived before he even entered the room: "Lu Xiao, I've got what you asked me to do. Liu Er was stopped at the bus station in the neighboring county!"
Lu Xiao stood up suddenly, and when Su Tang followed suit, Lu's mother came out of the kitchen with a tray of steamed buns, "We haven't eaten yet..."
"Mom, we'll be back soon."
Lu Xiao grabbed the coat that was draped over the back of the chair, and before leaving, he suddenly turned around and gave Su Tang a hasty kiss on the forehead.
"Watch yourself and don't run around."
Su Tang looked at his and Chang Jia's disappearing backs, her hand unconsciously covering her lower abdomen.
The warmth under her palm suddenly reminded her of what Lu Ma said in the morning.
The child can understand everything.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Your father is doing something amazing."
A great hero.
She said silently in her heart.
In the living room, Father Lu sighed to Father Su, "I'm afraid this matter will alarm the higher-ups. The mess in the Materials Department was murky. Someone anonymously reported it two years ago."
When Su's mother heard this, she became very worried. She said to Su Tang, "Is there any danger? How about I ask your dad to find his friends?"
Su Tang turned around and refilled the two old men's cups with hot tea. "Dad, do you still remember Secretary Wang who helped us fix the radio last year? He's in the Discipline Department now."
Hearing this, Su's father's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about Wang Jianhui? He mentioned to me before that he was checking the accounts."
Su Tang nodded. This was not a secret. Su's father had a wide network of contacts.
After all, as a teacher, you will naturally have students all over the world.
She briefly mentioned it, but didn't go into detail.
"Now it depends on who bites whom first."
In this day and age, there is no technology and no testing.
It's hard to really get anything out of someone unless you catch them red-handed.
But once you are caught in the act of doing this, there is no way to escape.
…
Lu Xiao followed Chang Jia directly into the car. There were two other people sitting in the car, who were going to follow Lu Xiao to catch someone.
Chang Jia smiled and patted Lu Xiao's shoulder.
"Not bad, old buddy. You've gotten some exercise here."
Ever since Lu Xiao got promoted, he hasn't seen Chang Jia for a long time.
"Stop talking nonsense. You did a good job on this matter. Maybe you can be transferred here."
Chang Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had been looking forward to this for a long time.
"Can I really be transferred here? Then I'll have to perform well. But honestly, it was pure luck that Liu Er was stopped at the neighboring county bus station. It's said that he bought a ticket to the south, got into an argument with someone before getting on the bus, and was restrained by the joint defense team."
Lu Xiao tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, but his brows remained furrowed. "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Since Liu Er dared to run away, he should know better than to cause trouble. This time, he acted as if he was deliberately trying to get caught."
Chang Jia was about to retort when a dark forest suddenly passed by the car window. The driver slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a screeching sound on the dirt road.
"The road ahead is blocked."
The driver said in a deep voice, pointing to a few logs lying across the middle of the road ahead.
Lu Xiao pushed open the car door and jumped out. He squatted down and touched the cut surface of the log, which still had a fresh moisture smell.
"Just laid down not long ago."
He looked up into the depths of the woods, and it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were hidden among the swaying branches and leaves.
Chang Jia followed him down and shone his flashlight into the woods. "Something's wrong. No one usually comes to this section of road. Who would block the road for no reason?"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a few dog barkings in the distance, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Lu Xiao dragged Chang Jia back to the car and said in a deep voice, "Drive, back up!"
The driver quickly shifted gears and just as the car moved back half a meter, he saw several men with sticks rushing out of the woods, led by Lao Zhang from the Materials Department.
"Hey, Deputy Captain Lu, how are you?"
Old Zhang had a fake smile on his face, but the wooden stick in his hand was knocking loudly on the ground.
"Where are you going? I'll clear the way for you, but this wood is too heavy. It might take a day and a night."
Lu Xiao sat in the car without moving, his eyes as cold as ice: "Lao Zhang, are you trying to stop the official business?"
"How dare I?"
Lao Zhang moved to the side, revealing the two people behind him.
"Look, I brought people here to clear the way for you. You can't slander me. It's just that we can't find anyone here, so we can only ask the locals for help."
The two men were wearing patched jackets and their eyes avoided looking at the car.
Chang Jia couldn't help but curse, "Do you think we're fools? I've seen these two people at the entrance of the Materials Department. They're clearly temporary workers in your department!"
