Chapter 523: Parting Unhappily (II)
"Go on, go on!" Mr. Lu couldn’t stand his daughter’s look and waved her off. As soon as she left Mr. Lu’s office, Lu Ling went directly to the investigation department to inquire about Mu Qiancheng’s situation.
When she learned Mu Qiancheng only received a single disciplinary action, she was a bit disappointed and asked the department staff, "Why just one disciplinary action?"
"Miss Lu, the disciplinary action is already quite serious and will be recorded in the file."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ling felt unsatisfied and muttered, "It would be better if he were fired."
As soon as she said this, the staff of the investigation department looked at Lu Ling as if they didn’t recognize her. To be fired is a big deal. If that happens, one’s future is ruined.
Lu Ling didn’t realize the staff’s opinion of her had changed. After saying a few words, she left the department. It seemed that if she wanted Mu Qiancheng to learn a lesson, she would have to rely on her father.
While thinking about this, Lu Ling returned to Mr. Lu’s office. At that moment, Mr. Lu was on a call from the police chief.
The police returned without bringing back Lu Ling, and had to report to their superiors. Thus, the police chief had to personally call Mr. Lu.
To be honest, the police chief didn’t want to offend Mr. Lu, but there were orders from above, and Mu Qiancheng’s identity was special. They had no choice.
If it were anyone else, Lu Ling’s issue could have been easily resolved. But Mu Qiancheng was different. If he didn’t want to let it go, it couldn’t be overlooked.
"Director Liu, please do me a favor and let this matter slide, okay?"
"Mr. Lu, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but orders from above have come, and I have no choice."
"Orders from above? How could that be?" Mr. Lu couldn’t understand. Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue both came from the countryside. How could there be orders from above?
Could there be something he didn’t know? Impossible, the investigation documents were clear: neither had any background.
"I wouldn’t dare deceive you. It’s truly orders from above. Unless the person involved speaks up, Miss Lu will have to make a trip to the police station."
"Alright, I understand!" Mr. Lu hung up the phone with a displeased look, then sat in his chair deep in thought.
After thinking for a while, he called in his subordinate and instructed, "Go and investigate again. See what background Mu Qiancheng and his wife have."
It shouldn’t be possible. No matter how outstanding Mu Qiancheng is, those above wouldn’t protect him like this.
Not understanding the situation, Mr. Lu dared not act rashly. He had originally thought to put some pressure on Mu Qiancheng, but now it seemed he could only wait.
Just then, Lu Ling came back. As soon as she returned, she sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
Although at times his daughter could make him quite upset, Mr. Lu was a loving father. Seeing his daughter in a bad mood, he couldn’t help but express concern, asking, "Ling’er, what’s wrong again? Who upset you?"
"Who else but Mu Qiancheng." Lu Ling said irritably, thinking about the complaint letter she painstakingly wrote, only to result in Mu Qiancheng receiving just a disciplinary action. She felt really unwilling to accept it.
"What did he do to you this time?" Mr. Lu felt a headache coming on, feeling like Mu Qiancheng was nothing but trouble. Whenever his daughter encountered him, nothing good resulted.
