Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Never Seen Someone So Guarded by So Many Big Shots
——President Li, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu?
The next second, the door to the interrogation room opened.
Lu Sheng first saw Li Muchen standing outside.
The neatly tailored and high-quality black coat outlined the tall and broad figure of the man, whose features were as handsome and profound as ever.
Probably because he hurried over, traces of the cold night frost were scattered on the coat. His hair was somewhat disheveled, giving him a travel-weary look.
Meeting the girl’s eyes and seeing the person he had been thinking about safe and sound, even holding a steaming hot rice ball in her hand,
Li Muchen’s breathing halted briefly, then he exhaled a long breath and slightly relaxed.
However, Lu Jingyan, who was clad in a suit and full of worry, and Jiang Ting, who seemed almost frantic with urgency, did not have Li Muchen’s ability to remain composed.
"Shengsheng?" Jiang Ting rushed to hug Lu Sheng as soon as she entered, checking her from head to toe as if heartbroken.
"Shengsheng, are you okay? They didn’t torture you, did they? If they hit you, you must tell mom, I won’t let them get away with it!"
Torture... Lu Sheng didn’t know what Jiang Ting had imagined on the way over.
However, her words obviously made the person who looked like the director instantly tense up.
He hurriedly looked at Lu Sheng and, seeing that she appeared to have not suffered any mistreatment before they arrived, the deputy director of the Beijing Police Department couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Fortunately, Shi Suyu had been the one to come over before. Shi Suyu was famously upright and would never physically abuse prisoners, not even those who had committed serious crimes.
This deputy director also had just realized that the girl they had taken to the station that evening came from such a formidable background.
It was already a big deal that she was the heiress of the Lu Family, but she was also to be the future wife of the Li Family. If he had known earlier, even if they were to make the arrest, he would have gone himself.
But before he could relax for a few seconds, he saw Lu Jingyan pick up the handcuffs from the table, his expression one of immense shock: "Shengsheng, they handcuffed you to bring you here?!"
His own sister, who was treated like a treasure and delicately cared for in their home, was brought to the police station in handcuffs.
Lu Jingyan took Lu Sheng’s hand and saw a ring of red and swollen marks on his sister’s fair and slender wrist, involuntarily gasping in pain.
"Mom, brother, I’m fine," said Lu Sheng, "It was wrong for me to tie someone up in the first place, and the police officer before was just doing his job by the law. And after being brought here, Officer Shi has taken good care of me."
Hearing Lu Sheng say this, Lu Jingyan and Jiang Ting did not pursue the matter further.
At this moment, Shi Suyu spoke with a righteous tone: "I have finished the questions I needed to ask. Now that the guardian is here, you can take her away."
Li Muchen, upon seeing Shi Suyu, was also slightly surprised. But remembering that he was an acquaintance and presuming that he must have looked after Lu Sheng earlier, he said, "Thank you, Officer Shi."
"No need for thanks," Shi Suyu shook his head, looking at Lu Sheng and saying, "Jiang Mengmeng has already filed a complaint with Jiang City Police Station, and the evidence has been passed over to us. Jiang Yusheng will be temporarily detained here."
"Once all the procedures are completed, we will formally arrest him, and we will also release a notice on the official Weibo. So don’t worry, the truth about Jiang Mengmeng’s case that year will be made known to the public."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng inquired, "Jiang Yusheng’s crimes, approximately how long will he be sentenced?"
"I don’t know how the court will eventually rule, but for his charges of defamation and rape alone, the means and social impact are already extremely bad. He will definitely receive a heavy punishment," Shi Suyu said.
Adding a heavy punishment to concurrent crimes, he will be sentenced to at least fifteen years or more.
Lu Sheng felt no sympathy for a beast like Jiang Yusheng, but she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ting beside her.
After all, Jiang Yusheng was Jiang Ting’s biological brother, and Jiang Ting truly adored her.
Lu Sheng was grateful, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Yusheng was irredeemably vile and despicable, resulting in such harm to Professor Peng and Jiang Mengmeng, she wouldn’t have taken such drastic measures.
"Mom..."
As soon as Lu Sheng began to speak, Jiang Ting, as if knowing what she was about to say, immediately said, "Silly child, mom knows what you’re thinking. You don’t need to feel guilty towards me."
"What you did was just, and if you hadn’t sent your uncle to the police, who knows what worse atrocities he might commit in the future, bringing further shame to our Jiang Family."
"So letting him be judged, serving time in prison, and reforming himself, you are actually saving his life."
Jiang Ting herself had done wrong in the past, but now her values had become increasingly upright.
She had always known that her brother was no good, but she had never expected Jiang Yusheng to be so wicked.
At this moment, the deputy director timely chimed in, "Uhm... Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu, would you like to go see the other two young masters?"
Jiang Ting and Lu Jingyan had rushed to the police station after receiving a phone call from Li Muchen, their minds filled with only Lu Sheng. If not for the deputy director’s reminder, Jiang Ting would have forgotten that her two sons had also been detained.
The subordinates who came in with the deputy director were observant, and not long after, they brought in Lu Youming and Lu Youye.
Upon entering, Lu Youming and Lu Youye actually did not care about themselves and were only concerned about Lu Sheng.
Especially Lu Youye, who had been clamoring to see his sister since being taken to another room, left the inquiring policeman a sigh of relief, as if having tossed out a hot potato.
Li Muchen went over to hold Lu Sheng’s hand, his fingertips pausing as they brushed over the red marks left by the handcuffs. Lu Sheng gently pinched his hand to reassure him not to worry.
The group was about to leave the interrogation room and head home when, just as they stepped outside, they heard a commotion in the police station’s Great Hall.
Glancing up, they saw about a dozen high school-aged boys and girls gathered at the reception desk in the Great Hall, all of them looking very dissatisfied and complaining about something.
"It’s Lu Sheng! Lu Sheng is coming out!"
Some eagle-eyed person spotted Lu Sheng and called out loudly.
Only then did Lu Sheng realize in surprise that these people were actually her classmates from Class A.
At that moment, a junior officer at the reception desk also hurried over, relieved, "Deputy director, we’re so glad you’re here! I wouldn’t have been able to handle it much longer."
The deputy director frowned in displeasure and asked sternly, "What’s going on here?"
"Deputy director..." the junior officer whispered to the deputy director, "All these high school students are Lu Sheng’s classmates, they saw Lu Sheng being reported and taken away in a live stream, and they’ve come in groups to speak up for her."
"Ridiculous!" Upon hearing the junior officer’s words, the deputy director immediately castigated them righteously, "The police station is not a playground for children. How can you let them make such a fuss here, why haven’t you sent them away?!"
"I wanted to, deputy director, but who dares to send them away?" the junior officer said aggrievedly, giving the deputy director a knowing look,
"That boy with the dyed blue hair, the young master of Tenglin Real Estate. The tall girl with large earrings, the second daughter of Hongying Construction. The one in the shirt, his grandfather owns half the hospitals in Jiang City... These are all from groups that contribute the most to our city’s GDP."
"What’s even more outrageous is that Mayor Lin himself called personally just a while ago, specifically inquiring about Lu Sheng’s current situation, saying if Lu Sheng isn’t released tonight, he’d pay a visit himself. Plus, I received calls from President Meng of Bailin Group and Chairman Fu of Fu Group..."
"I’ve seen young people from influential families before, but never have I seen a young person protected by so many powerful tycoons," the junior officer lamented with a gloomy face, "Deputy director, please hurry up and release this Lu Sheng. Otherwise, I’m worried something bad might happen to our police station..."
