Lu Ting looked at her strangely. “Yuanyuan, what’s wrong with you?”
“Miss Shen, are you feeling guilty?” Lu Si sipped his tea with a meaningful expression.
Shen Yuan awkwardly opened her mouth, hesitated, but since the old master was asking, she could only answer reluctantly, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, but 1 really don’t feel well now. 1 need to go to the bathroom and will come out later to talk to you.”
Without waiting for the old master’s permission, she swiftly ran into the bathroom, completely abandoning the respectful manners she had just displayed.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lu Ting was a bit concerned but it wasn’t convenient to have anyone to go in and check. He could only sit in his place, showing a puzzled expression, waiting.
Jiang He took advantage of the distraction and raised his eyebrows at Lu Si, seemingly claiming credit.
Lu Si suppressed a smile. Just as he put down his teacup, the housekeeper came in to report that the police had arrived.
Lu Ting immediately straightened up, looking expressionless towards the door. “Today, I’m sitting here. I don’t believe anyone dares to take away my future granddaughter-in-law in front of me!”
The person who entered was none other than Zhou Guo, the one who led the search at the Mei family that day.
As soon as he entered, his originally majestic aura suddenly became peaceful. “Uncle Lu, long time no see. I wonder if you still remember me?”
Lu Ting didn’t expect to meet him under these circumstances, and his face showed a bit more nostalgia for the past. “You little guy actually became a criminal investigator. Judging by your uniform, you’re now the captain of the team, right?”
“Yes, I’ve always wanted to go to the capital to see you, but work has always been too busy. Today, 1 finally have the opportunity.” He extended his hand behind him, and a sensible police officer immediately handed over several boxes he was carrying.
Zhou Guo respectfully said, “These are gifts for you, Uncle Lu. Seeing that you are in good health now, I can rest assured.”
“I haven’t seen my grandson get married with my own eyes, so of course I can’t let myself be in poor health!” When Lu Ting spoke to Zhou Guo, he didn’t forget to indirectly warn Lu Si.
Zhou Guo was a shrewd person. He immediately sensed the meaning behind his words and, considering the current case in his hands, propped his knee with his hand, saying, “Actually, I came here this time for two reasons. Firstly, the opportunity is rare, and I sincerely wanted to visit you. Secondly, it’s about Miss Shen. I heard that Miss Shen is about to be engaged to Ah Si?”
“Yes, Ah Si has just agreed. She is the future daughter-in-law of our Lu family.” Lu Ting smiled in response, and asked the butler to check when Shen Yu would be able to come out.
Zhou Guo looked guilty and said, “Since she is the future daughter-in-law of Ah Si, and considering the circumstances, I should have downplayed this matter and resolved the trouble for you, but I am currently the captain of the criminal police.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Ting’s face instantly turned cold.
He had lived for so many years, and no one had dared to disrespect him like this!
Zhou Guo knew that it would inevitably lead to this before coming here. Without much hesitation, he stood up, bowed deeply to Lu Ting, and said, “I apologize, but we must take Shen Yu away today. She is suspected in an extremely serious and heinous rape case, and I must take her to the police station for questioning immediately.”
“You dare!” The old master also flared up, using his cane for support as he stood up, glaring at Zhou Guo. “I’ve never had anyone dare to talk to me like this in the capital! Do you know the consequences of offending the Lu family? Do you think your niece marrying Ah Yan will keep the Zhou family safe?”
“I’ve never thought about it that way.” Zhou Guo continued to bow his head. “I have always respected you. If I weren’t a policeman, I would definitely be willing to help you with anything. You can ask me to do anything. But now, 1 have to live up to the uniform I’m wearing.”
Having said that, he didn’t linger too much, glanced at a corner where a thin figure appeared, and turned directly towards that direction. He signaled to the police officers behind him, “Take her away!”
“No! I am innocent!” Shen Yuan panicked, shouting towards Lu Ting, “Grandpa, I don’t want to go to that kind of place!”
“Zhou Guo!” Lu Ting roared again, and the living room suddenly fell silent. “Are you determined to oppose me today?”
Zhou Guo still looked apologetic. “Uncle Lu, I’m sorry. I’ll take my leave now. 1 will bring another gift next time and personally come to apologize to you.” “You stop right there!” Lu Ting, using his cane for support, hurriedly chased after him for a short distance.
Worried about his grandfather’s health, Lu Si quickly supported him. “Grandpa, you should go back to your room and rest. If Shen Yuan is really innocent, what are you worried about?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting turned his head instantly, staring at Lu Si fiercely. “Are you waiting for Shen Yuan to be taken away today? When did you contact that Mei Shu?”
“I haven’t contacted her.” Lu Si answered very straightforwardly.
In fact, their understanding had reached a point where they could easily guess each other’s next moves without the need for any communication..
