Chapter 519: Lu Ling’s Revenge (6)
According to the timeline, the report letter she wrote should have reached the relevant department. Qian Cheng should be continuing the investigation now, right?
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Mr. Lu looked at his daughter and then instructed, "When the police ask you questions later, you must speak properly. It’s best to shift the responsibility onto Ming Lan, understand?"
"Dad, I understand." Lu Ling wasn’t a fool; she naturally knew what was most advantageous for her.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the police came again, asking if Lu Ling had arrived. Mr. Lu had no choice but to take Lu Ling to see the police first.
The police saw Lu Ling, asked her some questions, and then brought out the recording. Hearing her own voice inside the recording, only then did Lu Ling truly believe that Ming Lan had set her up.
At the thought of being manipulated by Ming Lan, Lu Ling was furious. If Ming Lan were here, she would undoubtedly hit her without a second thought.
Unfortunately, Ming Lan wasn’t here, and she had been thrown in jail. It’s likely that she’ll never see her again in this lifetime.
"Lu Ling, this is your voice in the recording, right?" the police officer asked.
Lu Ling hesitated for a moment but nodded and said, "It is my voice indeed, but I’ve got something to say."
"What do you want to say?" the police officer looked at Lu Ling and asked.
"Officer, here’s what happened..." Lu Ling immediately put on a pitiful and sad appearance, telling the police that it was all Ming Lan’s scheme against her. She claimed that everything she said was under Ming Lan’s instructions and that Ming Lan had even threatened her.
At this moment, Lu Ling wasn’t afraid of tarnishing Ming Lan’s name at all. Regardless, she wouldn’t be able to come out. Even if she didn’t admit anything, once the charge of murder against Ming Lan was established, she would essentially be a dead person.
Slandering a dead person, she felt no pressure.
The police hadn’t expected Lu Ling to turn around and accuse Ming Lan, and they were a bit caught off guard. Seeing this, Mr. Lu felt pleased internally, and then he took the opportunity to speak some good words for Lu Ling, also saying a few things with a hint of threat.
Consequently, it became difficult for the police to take Lu Ling away. They had no choice but to go back and find another way.
After the police left, Lu Ling finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, she followed Mr. Lu to his office. Upon returning to the office and noticing that Qian Cheng hadn’t arrived yet, Mr. Lu’s expression soured again, and he asked, "Where’s Mu Qiancheng, why isn’t he here yet?"
"I’m not sure. I’ll call and find out," an assistant said while picking up the phone to call Mu Qiancheng.
Meanwhile, Mu Qiancheng was in the investigation department. Even with Director Liu interceding for him, it was still a fact that Mu Qiancheng had neglected his duties, so disciplinary action was inevitable.
However, for Mu Qiancheng, the safety of Jiang Xue was definitely more important than any disciplinary actions.
So, he had no objections to the punishment. With the disciplinary action dealt with, Mu Qiancheng didn’t stay in the investigation department for long and prepared to head home.
Just as he stepped out of the investigation department, two guards blocked his way and said, "Mu Qiancheng, Mr. Lu requests your presence!"
Upon hearing Mr. Lu’s name, Mu Qiancheng’s expression flickered, then he said nothing and followed them.
Half an hour later, Mu Qiancheng was brought to the office building where Mr. Lu worked and led into his office. As he entered, he saw Mr. Lu and Lu Ling.
Seeing Lu Ling, a flash of loathing appeared in Mu Qiancheng’s eyes. He hadn’t forgotten that the report letter today was written by Lu Ling, otherwise, he would be at home with his wife and child now, instead of having to bear a disciplinary action.
