When Officer Ma received Lu Yi's call again, he was on his way to his new unit.
"Little Lu, I should apologize to you..."
Lu Yi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood why he said that.
According to Lao Ma's original trial procedure, they could have successfully apprehended Fan Tong by following Lu Han's lead. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhengming completely disrupted his plan.
They pulled a fast one.
Not only did they get the manager of the car maintenance shop to step forward and take full responsibility for all the "mistakes," but they also had the head of the car company appear and apologize to the users, citing a design flaw in the vehicle's brakes.
The automaker also issued a statement announcing a recall of all models of this type sold in Jiangzhou many years ago.
Later, Fan Huijun mentioned to Lu Yi that Lu Baozhi's car model was too delicate, and its sales volume was pitifully low back then.
By capitalizing on such a huge trending topic, car companies have effectively generated a surge in traffic and won over car enthusiasts, achieving even better positive results than spending money on advertising!
This surge in traffic drawn by car companies instantly lowered netizens' attention to Lu Han.
Now, there are almost no trending posts about Lu Han's identity online.
Ultimately, this is less a contest between justice and evil and more a lesson taught to netizens by the powerful.
This is yet another setback for Lu Yi in front of the Lu family.
To avenge his uncle Lu Gensheng, targeting only Lu Han wouldn't suffice. Next, he needed to remove Lu Han's powerful external advantages.
The first one is Fan Tong.
Hearing the thoughtful voice coming from the other end of the phone, Lu Yi chuckled easily.
"Uncle Ma, I don't think calling you that now is considered trying to get closer to you."
"I had originally planned to have dinner with a friend, but he couldn't make it. How about we meet up and talk over dinner?"
Lu Yi did not express his true intentions directly.
He was worried that if Lao Ma refused outright, there would be no room for negotiation.
If he abandons the case, who knows how long it will remain unresolved.
Old Ma seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, and he hesitated before coughing.
“Xiao Lu, actually, it’s not convenient for me to interfere in your Lu family’s affairs. You know the influence you have in Jiangzhou, Mr. Lu.”
The implication is that if Lu Yi continues like this, things might get out of hand.
Officer Ma was clearly terrified.
"I'm not asking you because of the Lu family, but because I have clues about Fan Tong. Uncle Ma, Fan Tong is very likely to come to Jiangzhou again..."
"I know I've caused you trouble this time. Just give me a chance to help you and myself!"
Lu Yi never believed in selfless dedication without expecting anything in return.
Therefore, there was no overly sentimental or saintly emotional appeal.
Now that things have come to this, it's beyond Old Ma's control what decision he makes.
All he could do was seize every fleeting opportunity.
"Fan Tong?"
Old Ma's breath hitched, and his voice rose considerably.
"Yes. There are many details that are inconvenient to discuss over the phone, so I'll send you the address!"
Before Lao Ma could reply, Lu Yi hung up the phone and sent the restaurant reservation information.
Liang Shiyue nervously bit her thumb.
Seeing Lu Yi let out a long sigh of relief, his expression finally softened.
"So, Uncle Ma agreed to see you?"
The moment Liang Shiyue heard at the police station that he had been transferred, she could clearly feel Lu Yi's mood plummet.
If Officer Ma agrees to meet, it means there's still a chance for this matter to turn around.
"Um!"
Lu Yi nodded, reached out and pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair that hung down her thin back.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry these past few days. Senior Lin has invited you several times but you haven't gone. It's really not right. Let's go today!"
Listening to his gentle, sweet voice that made her heart flutter, Liang Shiyue inhaled his pleasant scent.
"Can you manage to go by yourself?"
She was a little worried.
Although she couldn't help much by being by his side, the thought of Lu Yi facing so much pressure alone made her feel breathless.
“Old Ma is a very experienced police officer. His transfer is definitely related to his interference in my case. I can’t pretend I didn’t see it.”
Even if he still sticks to his current choice after we meet and he hears the clues I provide, I will have no regrets!
“On the 21st day after my uncle’s death, I swore in front of him that I would not let any of the murderers who killed him go unpunished, but I would not disobey the teachings of my adoptive parents and uncle and do anything that violates the law.”
"If you want revenge, you have to do it openly and honestly within the framework of society, so that they will never have a chance to rise again!"
Feeling the rise and fall of his chest, Liang Shiyue stretched out her slender arms and tightly wrapped them around his thin waist.
"Okay! No matter what the outcome, tell me, and I'll face it with you."
Liang Shiyue wiped away her tears on his sleeve, tiptoed, and gently kissed his face.
By the time Lu Yi realized what was happening, she had already grabbed her bag, opened the door, and rushed downstairs.
Touching the corner of his mouth where the girl had kissed him, Lu Yi smiled knowingly.
Just then, my phone chimed with a message from Du Guanglong.
[Third brother, I had Dongzi send a message to Fan Tong. That guy's really cunning these days, constantly hinting that he's coming, but he hasn't said he won't.]
Lu Yi gripped his phone, looking out the window at the darkening sky.
A moment later, he returned.
[The bait isn't enough; perhaps we should send Dongzi back to see Fan Tong first.]
The premise of luring a snake out of its hole is to give it a compelling reason to do so.
At the same time, snake catchers must also possess strategies to control snakes and the ability to maintain overall control.
Otherwise, the snake will retaliate and even exploit you without any scruples.
This requires Lu Yi to make thorough preparations.
Du Guanglong felt the information was being transmitted too slowly, so as soon as he saw Lu Yi's reply, he immediately made a phone call.
"Third brother, you're using Dongzi as bait?"
“I’ve investigated Fan Tong. His own woman plays mahjong all day and doesn’t care about him at all. He’s a womanizer, but he’s only interested in women!”
Lu Yi was speechless.
“Brother Long, what I mean is, let Dongzi give him some information that is half true and half false, to lure him to Jiangzhou.”
Du Guanglong rubbed his big, round head and chuckled foolishly.
"That's more like it. And then what?"
Lu Yi's voice was cold and clear, "Then, treat him like a brother, and don't let him out of your sight..."
This time, Du Guanglong understood!
"Alright, leave it to me, brother. If you need any manpower, just give me a call anytime!"
However, doing only these things is far from enough.
Since Lu Zhengming was able to go to such lengths for Lu Han, when Lu Han comes to him for help for Fan Tong, wouldn't the outcome be the same if Lu Zhengming intervened?
He gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in the living room a few times.
Still at a loss.
never mind!
Let's hear Lao Ma's opinion first before making any further plans!
If we can't even get Lao Ma's support, then any further plans we come up with will just be castles in the air.
