Old Madam Lu had suspected more than once that Bai Huan was involved in Lu Yu's kidnapping.
Otherwise, how could Bai Huan take advantage of the situation at this critical juncture and enter the Lu family so smoothly?
However, due to the lack of evidence for so many years, Lu Hongjun was completely bewildered by the beauty.
The old lady and Bai Huan had a bad relationship, so Lu Hongjun had been protecting Bai Huan. That was why the old lady was delayed for so long and missed the best opportunity to find out the truth.
So many years have passed, and it is very likely that Lu Yu will never be found, but Madam Lu will definitely not let Bai Huan go.
"Madam, news has come in. It's said that it's a woman named Wang Jinhua. I did a quick check on her family and identity. She's just an ordinary peasant woman, and she doesn't have any special connections."
"What, that woman's surname is Wang?"
After so many years, Mrs. Lu's hands were shaking with excitement.
She clearly remembered that her grandson had only been with her for a few months, but she was the one who found a nanny for him herself, and that nanny's surname was Wang!
"Bai Huan must have a lot of ulterior motives, otherwise, she wouldn't so easily help a country woman. I know this woman must be related to my grandson's disappearance!"
After waiting for so many years, this woman finally showed her true colors.
"Keep investigating and be sure to report all the clues to me!"
Old Madam Lu turned the lid of the teacup and fell into memories.
Back then, she and Old Madam Bai were close friends and had agreed to a marriage as children.
She fell in love with the quiet and dignified Bai Jing at first sight and decided to get married on the spot.
But they didn't expect that they would end up as a pair of resentful lovers.
She quickly called Lu Hongjun and wanted to correct this mistake.
"You actually gave power to Bai Huan and let her abuse your authority. Do you know what she did? The Lu family has been wise for a lifetime, but it will be destroyed in your hands!"
Lu Hongjun pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly. "Mom, although Xiao Huan has a bad temper, she's not a bad person. You shouldn't confront her every day."
His mother blamed him for Bai Huan's matter again, and Lu Hongjun felt exhausted.
"Do you know that she actually dared to use the Lu family's name to release a feudal superstitious person? The Public Security Bureau even called our house!"
Lu Hongjun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Bai Huan to do this.
"She has always been very sensible. Today, I didn't realize it either..."
"You don't know? You hold great power, and every word and action must be carefully considered. And you still say you don't know? How can someone like you be a pillar of the country?"
"Mom, I really don't know!"
Madam Lu grew increasingly angry as she spoke, unable to resist spilling out everything she had just learned. "She must have ulterior motives for doing this. Don't forget how she ended up in this family! Even after finding her biological parents, she still refused to return home. It's clear she's just trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Bai Jing's death and Yu'er's disappearance were both her fault!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Hongjun changed the subject: "Mom, Bai Huan was wrong about what happened today, but you can't just accuse her of anything!"
"How can that woman be any good? I think you've really been bewitched by a ghost!"
"Mom, I can still treat the previous incident as a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but this matter concerns Xiao Huan's innocence, so please be careful with your words!"
Madam Lu laughed angrily: "Do you think I'm framing your Bai Huan?"
"Mom! From childhood to adulthood, no matter how much I did, I could never satisfy you. I never received a word of praise from you. Only Xiao Huan has always encouraged me silently and believed that I could achieve great things. Mom, how far will you push your son before you are satisfied?"
When she heard this, Mrs. Lu was suddenly speechless.
"Mom, I'm still busy with work, so I won't talk about it anymore."
Hearing the operator's voice on the other end of the phone, Mrs. Lu hung up the phone in tears.
"What happened back then was my fault for the Bai family. I owed Bai Jing so much! If I had known this unfilial son was so cruel, I would never have let Xiao Jing marry me. If she hadn't married me, my grandson wouldn't have been lost, and she wouldn't have passed away so young!"
Here, Old Madam Bai was quietly drinking tea and looking at the flowers with her eyes closed.
"Madam Lu had a big argument with her son, and it seems she's investigating Bai Huan's affairs again. This time, the situation was quite dramatic."
Madam Bai simply raised one eye and said slowly, "Didn't I tell you to stay out of my ears if there's anything going on over there?"
Bai Jing is the only daughter in the family and the apple of her parents' eyes.
When his grandson was lost and his daughter died from grief, Lu Hongjun actually married Bai Huan immediately without feeling sad at all.
From that moment on, she severed all ties with Madam Lu.
"But I heard that Madam Lu really doesn't like Bai Huan and has been holding it in for a long time. This time, she must investigate her thoroughly."
Madam Bai casually filled the teapot with boiling water. "Who knows if she's just acting or what? Anyway, no matter what, my Xiaojing and Yu'er won't be coming back."
She was completely disheartened.
Of course, she also regretted very much that she should not have brought Bai Huan home to raise her out of momentary kindness, which fueled her ambition and ultimately harmed her own daughter.
Or maybe, when Bai Huan's adoptive parents came looking for her, she should have forcibly kicked this woman out of the house.
Instead of letting her stay in her house, pestering Bai Jing every day, and even taking away Bai Jing's family and husband.
There's no point in regretting it, just let it be!
On this side, Bai Huan came to the Public Security Bureau with a proud look on his face.
"Your superiors should have called you, right? Release the person immediately!"
The director wiped his sweat and stood up. "I'm sorry, Madam Bai, our superiors said that Wang Jinhua's behavior involves a major case. We haven't investigated it thoroughly yet, so we can't release her!"
"Why, are you going to go against the Lu family in Jing City?"
Bai Huan's eyes swept across everyone present with a cold gaze: "Do you still want to eat this public meal?"
The director rolled his eyes in his heart, but could only put on a smile.
"How dare we? However, the higher-ups said they've already contacted Mrs. Lu, and she's determined not to release him. The Lu family will absolutely not seek personal gain or pervert the law!"
Bai Huan's arrogant attitude was instantly reduced by eight points as if a basin of water was poured on him.
"Okay, you all remember this today!"
After making those harsh remarks, she walked away dejectedly with her tail between her legs.
