Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Bitter History of Director Lu Returning Home
However, waiting and waiting, until 2 a.m., he still had not received any news.
Lu Hualiang was getting impatient.
So he called his subordinate, urging him to act quickly.
Only to find out, the contact was lost.
Reaching out to others to check on that subordinate’s whereabouts, he discovered the guy had been taken to the police station.
The reason was theft, caught red-handed.
It was said to be quite brutal, caught and beaten to a pulp, swelling up like a pig’s head, carried into the police station on a stretcher.
According to the police’s account, when the thief saw the police, he was as excited as if he had seen his own birth mother, sniveling and limping towards them, eagerly climbing into the police car, refusing to be pulled out.
That look of fear, as if Lord Yama himself was chasing him.
In all their years as police officers, it was the first time they had seen a thief so eager to go to jail.
One could imagine just how harshly he had been abused.
Hearing the subordinate’s report, Lu Hualiang twitched the corner of his eye fiercely.
Suddenly thinking of something, he winced and made a call back to Housekeeper Fu.
Housekeeper Fu was sound asleep, awakened by the call, and was in a terrible mood, ready to curse out whoever the turtle son of a bitch was for disturbing his sweet dreams in the dead of night—did they not want to live!
However, upon seeing that it was a call from Lu Hualiang, he could only swallow all his grievances with a smile.
Grinning on his face, cursing in his heart.
“Sir, do you need something so late?”
The subtext being, if it’s nothing, I’m hanging up; I still need my beauty sleep.
Lu Hualiang’s heart was a jumble of emotions, it had been just a few days since he hadn’t been home, yet he felt like he was becoming an outsider.
“Nothing much, is everything okay at home?”
“No problems at all, everything’s fine.”
Housekeeper Fu was somewhat puzzled; with him, the all-capable housekeeper around, what could possibly go wrong?
Besides, even if he couldn’t handle it, wasn’t there still the young mistress?
Sir, you just rest easy and stay outside the home, no need to come back at all.
Lu Hualiang frowned, “I heard there was a burglary at the house?”
Housekeeper Fu felt embarrassed; you called to disturb my sleep over such a trivial matter?
“Indeed, a thief sneaked in, but it’s no big deal, the young mistress chased him away.”
Lu Hualiang’s temples pulsed twice, of course, it had to be that woman!
“What happened?” he asked in a heavy voice.
Housekeeper Fu laughed merrily, his admiration for Xia Weibao was overflowing.
“A small matter. Tonight an adept thief actually got through Lu Garden’s security system and snuck in, but he was unlucky and happened to climb into the young mistress’s room.
At that moment, the young mistress was playing video games, and then someone jumped through the window, causing her to lose.
So she gave him a good beating and sent him off to the police station.
Sir, let me tell you, the young mistress is really impressive. With one kick, she sent the thief flying down from upstairs.
Then she just leaped down from the floor like something out of a movie, so cool! She pinned down the thief and gave him a fierce beating, even forced him to swear never to steal again, especially not from people who are playing video games…”
Listening to Housekeeper Fu’s endless praise of Xia Weibao, Lu Hualiang didn’t know what to say anymore.
He hung up the phone quietly.
Then he sent a message to his subordinate, no need to bail out that thief tonight.
Let him reflect in the police station for a good while.
Out of all the rooms to steal from, he had to choose Xia Weibao’s!
And of all times to go, he had to pick when she was playing her video games; didn’t he know that woman was an online gaming addict!
Who dares to interrupt her gaming, even her dear husband won’t be spared!
