Lu Rongyu met Lu An'an's deep, penetrating eyes. A sudden panic gripped her, and she secretly pinched her palm hard. Remembering her backup plan, she calmed herself and replied coldly, "Of course I'm sure! I just accidentally..."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an's smile deepened, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Alright, in that case, let's ask Professor Lin and see if you're truly innocent."
[Is Lu Rongyu keeping a backup plan? She doesn't seem afraid that Lin Ya Hui will expose her.]
[But it's alright. If Lin Ya Hui really didn't implicate Lu Rong Yu, I can still hypnotize her.]
Looking at the two men, whose consciousness was already clouded by the effects of the drug and who even several policemen couldn't hold down, Qi Rang couldn't help but rub his tightly furrowed brows, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart. "They're both not in the right mind right now, how can we ask them?"
As Lu An'an walked towards the two, she took out her needle case and said casually, "Simple, I can make her sober up for a while."
As Lu An'an precisely administered the needle, Lin Ya Hui's eyes gradually cleared. She suddenly realized her predicament, and an indescribable panic and despair welled up in her heart. She tried to struggle: "Let me go! Why are you arresting me?"
Qi Rang said in a businesslike manner, "Professor Lin, you are now accused of drugging and engaging in unspoken rules. There are witnesses and physical evidence to support your claims. Please abandon your pointless defenses and sincerely face each of my questions."
Lin Ya Hui stiffened, slowly looking around. The curious or indifferent gazes enveloped her. She sighed softly and gave a bitter smile. "I won't deny it, officer, please ask."
Qi Rang's gaze was sharp, and his tone was serious: "Regarding the matter of drugging Mr. Lu Yubai's wine, was Miss Lu Rongyu involved?"
Lu Rongyu's gaze was fixed on Lin Ya Hui. She secretly rejoiced that she had been careful before coming and had someone take the old woman's youngest son away and hide him. She hoped that the old woman would not expose her, or she would make sure that her son would not see the sun rise tomorrow!
Lin Ya Hui looked up at Lu Rong Yu with a complicated expression. After struggling for a long time, she slowly closed her eyes, her voice revealing an undisguised weariness and powerlessness: "It has nothing to do with Miss Lu. Miss Lu is a guest I invited today, and she is unaware of this."
Lu Rongyu smiled smugly, thinking that the old woman was wise.
With a glint of triumph in her eyes, she glanced lightly at Lu An'an, then turned to Qi Rang and said, "Captain Qi, I told you I'm innocent."
Lu An'an's gaze suddenly sharpened as she looked at Lin Ya Hui, thinking to herself.
[Did Lu Rongyu really leave herself a backup plan?]
Looking at Lu Rongyu's victorious expression, Lu An'an curled her lips into a cold smile, a smile that concealed an undeniable sharpness.
[I absolutely have to make sure this old lady gets some kind of cheat code.]
She leaned closer to Qi Rang and lowered her voice: "Captain Qi, let's release the concerned citizen first. I want to hypnotize Lin Ya Hui."
Qi Rang nodded, turned around, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Gentlemen, the police are about to launch a formal investigation. All unrelated personnel are requested to leave the scene immediately and cooperate with our work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the police officers sprang into action, guiding the crowd to leave in an orderly manner.
As the crowd gradually left and the surroundings quieted down, Lu An'an slowly stepped forward, squatted down in front of Lin Ya Hui, and softly called out, "Professor Lin."
The moment Lin Ya Hui's eyes met hers, she activated her hypnosis, her voice soft and seemingly magical: "Professor Lin, is it really true that Lu Rong Yu wasn't involved?"
Just as Lin Ya Hui's gaze began to glaze over and she was about to speak, the banquet hall door was suddenly pushed open.
"Xiao Qi!"
Lu An'an's hypnosis was interrupted, her gaze turned cold, and she stared sharply at the intruder.
The man, dressed in a police uniform, glanced around the banquet hall and then approached Lu Mingqian and Song Shiyun with a polite smile. He said in a gentle tone, "Chairman Lu, Madam Lu, I'm so sorry. This incident is truly my fault and has caused you both a lot of trouble."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingqian's brows furrowed slightly, and a subtle glint flashed in his eyes.
It was Director Zhang? Wasn't his timing too perfect?
Nevertheless, he politely extended his right hand and gently shook hands with Zhang Wenhao, but his words betrayed a hint of barely perceptible coldness: "Director Zhang? Why did you come here in person at this hour?"
Zhang Wenhao's gaze lingered on Qi Rang for a moment, and his smile was just right: "Chairman Lu, you are too kind. There is a lot of turmoil online. I was afraid that young Qi might be impetuous and handle things inappropriately, so I rushed over here."
After speaking, he slowly turned around, looking at Qi Rang with an unquestionable gaze, his tone authoritative: "Little Qi, what are you still standing there for? Quickly take these two back to the station and deal with them according to the law."
Upon hearing this, Qi Rang's eyes flashed with surprise. His gaze lingered briefly on Lu Rongyu before he reminded her, "Director, Lu Rongyu is also involved in this matter. She..."
Zhang Wenhao gently raised his hand, interrupting Qi Rang's unfinished words. His eyes subtly swept over Lu Rongyu, concealing a hint of unspoken meaning. "Miss Lu Rongyu's current status is only that of a suspect in the case. There's no need to handcuff her. Please go back and give a statement."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yubai's heart sank, and he asked coldly, "Director Zhang, she is suspected of drugging me. Is it just a matter of taking a statement back home?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhao remained unfazed, downplaying the severity of the situation by saying, "Young Master Yu Bai, rest assured, after our police investigation is complete, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation and will never protect any criminal."
After saying this, he gently raised his hand, signaling the surrounding police officers to come forward and take Lin Ya Hui, Xu Zhou, and Lu Rong Yu away from the scene.
