Chapter 49 I'm here to process my wife's bail...
Lu Lin was also talking to Shen Rong about the Ma and Dou families.
"Ma Langhua's background is actually quite pitiful," Shen Rong sighed.
Her mother died early, and her father is mentally challenged and doesn't understand anything. Now she lives with her uncle and aunt. If she doesn't have a strong personality, she'll be easily bullied.
Lu Lin turned around and turned off the bedside lamp.
"What's there to pity? When Aunt Dou died, Commander Dou was already a powerful figure with men and guns at his disposal. The Ma family was just a small rural landlord family. Who would dare to bully her?"
Lu Lin asked her, "I guess I've defeated her with my words today? I suppose she won't come looking for me again next time."
Shen Rong suppressed a laugh: "Fine, she'll turn and run away whenever she sees you from now on. Director Lu, who is so devoted to you, can't see her."
Lu Lin looked at her coldly. What are you laughing at? It's all because of her!
"Please don't take this seriously," he emphasized again, his words clearly intended to conceal something.
She became so smug that she playfully pinched Lu Lin's chin and scrutinized him closely.
"You know what, Malanhua has a really good eye."
Lu Lin's face darkened. He slapped her hand away and uttered two words in an annoyed tone: "Go to sleep!"
Shen Rong pulled him: "Let's chat for a bit longer, I can't sleep."
Lu Lin took a deep breath and said calmly, "If you say another word, I'm going back to my room."
Shen Rong covered her mouth.
Shen Jiashi should arrive in the next couple of days. With his big mouth, if he finds out that the two are sleeping in separate rooms, he will definitely tell the Shen family elders, and who knows what kind of trouble that will cause.
A moment of patience brings peace and tranquility; this is for her sake, to ensure a peaceful life.
She tried to calm herself down, but she was still furious!
She turned around abruptly, and most of the blanket on Lu Lin was pulled away, leaving only a small corner.
Fortunately, it's already May, and the weather isn't cold anymore.

On the surface, everything at the Marshal's Mansion was calm, but Dou Meiyun's marriage was not so easy to cancel, although postponing the wedding should be possible.
If General Dou truly cared for his daughter, he would likely discuss postponing the wedding with the Yang family.
But Cao Fengyi called her and said that the Yang family denied the matter, the wedding was held as scheduled, and Dou Meiyun made an even bigger fuss.
“Yang Shaokang is a complete scoundrel. He refuses to admit it and has now come to my house to block the door, saying he wants to explain. But Meiyun, with her temperament, simply refuses to see him.”
Shen Rong asked her, "What did the commander-in-chief say?"
Cao Fengyi lowered her voice: "What else could he say? He just told people to treat him well and that was it."
Shen Rong reminded him, "Aren't there witnesses?"
“They vehemently deny it. I think even if you bring them right in front of them, they might still lie through their teeth. Rong, come here and help me persuade Meiyun. I’m going crazy.”
Shen Rong had no choice but to go to the Marshal's Mansion again. Through her and Cao Fengyi's repeated persuasion, Dou Meiyun finally agreed to meet Yang Shaokang, and the meeting place was set in a coffee shop.
People came and went, and as long as Yang Shaokang still had some dignity, he wouldn't dare to do anything. Dou Meiyun wanted to take that woman over and personally peel off Yang Shaokang's face.
"Will this work?" Cao Fengyi wondered.
Will I offend the Yang family?
Shen Rong: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, let the two of them meet and talk it out. Otherwise, if Mei Yun has a knot in her heart and refuses to marry, and the Yang family says they've been wronged, people will think that the Marshal has other ideas and doesn't want the marriage to happen."
Cao Fengyi thought she was right: "Then you keep an eye on her for me."
"Aren't you going?" Shen Rong was surprised. Was she really going to be entrusted with such an important task? She couldn't possibly handle it.
Cao Fengyi said helplessly, "I really can't get away. The Marshal is going to host a banquet for the Japanese consulate staff, and I have to stay home and keep an eye on things."
Shen Rong also heard about it; it seems the Japanese agreed to lend money.
Cao Fengyi noticed her hesitation and said, "I just want you to keep an eye on Meiyun so she doesn't go too far. I'll have the family arrange for more people to follow her."
Okay!
The appointed day arrived quickly. Shen Rong had already informed Lu Lin beforehand, and the two left at the same time. Lu Lin then dropped her off at the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion.
"I'll pick you up tonight."
But to everyone's surprise, the two met at the police station before evening.
***
Lu Lin was incredulous when he received the call telling him to go to the police station to bail out his captors!
What good wife would cause trouble that ends up in jail!
Shen Rong gave an awkward laugh and waved to Lu Lin.
"Here, here." She stood on tiptoe, looking at her protruding belly. Lu Lin was terrified and quickened his pace.
The director was surprised and hurriedly led his men to greet him, wondering why this big shot had come.
Since arriving in Bincheng, Director Lu has been causing quite a stir. He has been decisive and has accomplished many important tasks, including cracking down on crime. There haven't been any major incidents in his area recently, so why has this matter been brought to his attention?
"Director Lu, what brings you here? If you have any official business to report, please call me over."
Lu Lin's face was dark and expressionless.
"It's not business, you don't need to entertain me, go do your thing."
How could the police chief be so oblivious as to abandon his superior? Following the direction of Lu Lin's furrowed brows, he saw a woman smiling sweetly and waving at them.
The police chief then noticed that the police station seemed unusually lively today.
"What's going on?" Who are these people?
"I'm here to process my wife's bail. Where do I sign?" Lu Lin asked the dazed young policeman next to him.
The police chief was struck dumb, his face turned pale, and he asked in a low voice, "Who did this! Who can tell him what happened? Don't they think he's already overwhelmed enough?"
So disrespectful, they even dragged their boss's wife into it.
"It's that new guy again. They said these people were causing trouble and even used guns, so they arrested them all at once," the chief's confidant replied, leaning closer.
Lu Lin was already signing the papers, and the police chief was about to follow up to defend himself when his confidant said, "It seems that it's not just Mrs. Lu, but also people from the Marshal's Mansion."
In that instant, he saw the chief's hair stand on end!
Shen Rong smiled brightly: "Lu Lin, did I disturb your work? I had no choice. Thank you for your hard work. You're so kind."
Lu Lin gave her a cold laugh, and Shen Rong felt a chill run down her spine.
But she still mustered the courage to ask, "Could you bail out Meiyun, Yang Shaokang, and a few others as well?"
He's the police chief, he should be able to handle it! She puffed out her cheeks and looked at him cautiously, with a hint of anticipation.
"Who pulled out a gun?" Lu Lin glanced at the group.
Dou Meiyun stood up from the corner and immediately pointed at Yang Shaokang, saying, "Him! Who does he think he is, pulling out a gun to scare us!"
Yang Shaokang was given a cold glance by Lu Lin, and he smiled ingratiatingly: "Brother Tianming, you must be Brother Tianming. I've heard my father-in-law and brother-in-law mention you. We're all family, so please get me out of here!"
"Who's your father-in-law? Don't try to get close to us. I want to call off the engagement!" Meiyun and he started arguing again.
“Meiyun, didn’t I already explain? That woman was lying. I pulled out my gun to scare her, and you see, she told the truth as soon as I scared her.”
Yang Shaokang pursues Meiyun to explain, but Dou Meiyun hides everywhere, causing chaos at the police station!
The police chief finally understood. This wasn't just someone from the Marshal's mansion; it was the Marshal's daughter and son-in-law! Was he having a run of bad luck this year? He'd brought such a troublesome person into the station.
"Where is he?" the police chief spat out through gritted teeth.
The confidant said, "It seems he's gone out on patrol again."
The police chief gritted his teeth, broke a few, and stepped forward with a fawning smile to apologize: "Director Lu, please forgive us. Our subordinates don't recognize Madam and the young ladies and gentlemen. We have offended you greatly. We have already clarified that it was a misunderstanding. Everyone can leave now."
He wanted to downplay the issue, but Lu Lin wasn't so easy to talk to.
"It's not a misunderstanding. Someone did indeed intimidate the public in public. You did the right thing. Follow the procedure."
He looked at Shen Rong and continued, "Then why are they here too?"
He pointed at Kang Wenbai and others.
Shen Rong chuckled: "Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"
Lu Lin looked at her and gestured for her to continue.
The story begins when she accompanied Dou Meiyun to a coffee shop. They entered the coffee shop and unexpectedly ran into Kang Wenbai, Lin Wenhui, and her fiancé.
They invited her to sit with them, and since she also needed to make room for Dou Meiyun and Yang Shaokang, she couldn't refuse their hospitality and sat down.
They were discussing going to Longquan Temple. Lin Wenhui had mentioned it to her before and knew she was interested, so they wanted to invite her to go with them.
She was still hesitating, after all, Kang Wenbai was also going, but before she could make up her mind, the couple on the other side caused trouble.
Yang Shaokang held a gun to the minor celebrity's head, his face fierce.
The male and female protagonists are both passionate young people, so they naturally stepped forward to stop it. Kang Wenbai probably remembered that someone had once pointed a gun at him, so he reacted particularly fiercely, cursing Yang Shaokang until he was covered in spittle. When the coffee shop owner saw that things were not going well, he called the police.
The patrol officers then invited them all to the police station for tea.
"That's how it is." Shen Rong bit her lip, her smile somewhat ingratiating.
Lin Wenhui looked somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry, we acted impulsively. Mrs. Lu was not actually involved."
Lu Lin didn't understand Shen Rong's personality yet; it was either because he didn't have the time or because he hadn't had the chance.
Shen Rong looked up and said, "It's not like I caused this, but I was also at fault. I shouldn't have let them be alone together."
Who knew Yang Shaokang was such a simpleton?
Lu Lin reached out his hand: "Ms. Lin, thank you. I've heard about it. It's all thanks to you for protecting her."
Lin Wenhui laughed: "Your words make me ashamed."
If her fiancé hadn't been the first to rush out, the scene wouldn't have descended into chaos so quickly.
Seeing Lu Lin's expression, Shen Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, stop thanking me like that."
Lu Lin glanced at the document, nodded, and said, "That's all. I've already signed it. You can go back now."
"What about the coffee shop's losses?" the man next to Lin Wenhui asked.
Seeing Lu Lin looking at him, he introduced himself: "My surname is Dong, my given name is Rongyi. It's a pleasure to meet you, Director Lu."
"We must have caused considerable losses at the time."
Lu Lin nodded: "There are some losses, but someone will pay for them." His gaze fell on Yang Shaokang, who was apologizing.
Lin Wenhui smiled and tugged at her fiancé: "Then we can rest assured!"
She turned to look at Kang Wenbai and said, "Wenbai, let's go."
From the moment Lu Lin appeared, Kang Wenbai kept his head down and didn't say a word, whether out of embarrassment or something else, it was hard to tell.
Lin Wenhui pulled him up and nodded to Shen Rong: "Mrs. Lu, we'll be going now. I'll let you know once the Longquan Temple itinerary is finalized."
Shen Rong nodded: "Sure, do you want me to give you a ride?"
Lu Lin must have come by car; she was genuinely asking.
Dong Rongyi came over and helped Kang Wenbai up, saying, "We can just call two carriages, it'll be very convenient."
Kang Wenbai had just been the one who cursed the most fiercely and was also the one who was beaten the most severely by Yang Shaokang. His lip was bleeding. Lu Lin's lip twitched, and he inadvertently turned his head to look at Shen Rong's reaction.
She only felt the pleasure of watching the spectacle, without a trace of concern.
“Wenbai…” Guo Yuying pushed open the police station door and rushed in, followed by another woman who also walked in. Shen Rong exclaimed in surprise.
