Ye Ling said with a cold voice, “The Lu Family alone cannot perform such a feat!”
Tong Hua took the laptop over and watched the video as well. Lu Mengyun had actually been released from prison so early in her jail term. This made no sense at all. There was a big hoo-ha about this case at that time. Even if the Lu Family had support behind their back, this information would have been leaked early and talked about excessively. There was no way Lu Mengyun could escape from such a jail term.
She was released just after these few months.
Isn’t the Lu Family afraid of being drowned by the saliva of haters and the masses?
“A fire broke out in prison yesterday. Lu Mengyun saved two policemen and a few children who were trapped. She made an outstanding contribution, and her merits have offset her faults.” Tong Hua read the news and could not help but clap. “Impressive, impressive. So this is how easy it is to get a lighter sentence. Then I can just stab anyone I want, and Mommy will arrange for me to save some people. Then, I wouldn’t have to repay with my life. I would just stay in prison for a few months, and it’ll be fine. If I’m unhappy with anyone, should I just stab them?”
Shen Qianshu slapped him on the back of his hand lightly. Tong Hua pursed his lips. “I’m just saying if…”
“Master…”
Ah Da came in. “Master, Major Mu Yuan is here.”
“Okay!” Ye Ling nodded. Mu Yuan had already entered. He waved at Tong Hua and Shen Qianshu first. He braved the weather to come here early in the morning. He was in military uniform, and he looked charismatic and cool.
“Follow me up.”
Ye Ling and Mu Yuan went upstairs, and they locked themselves in the study room.
Shen Qianshu touched Tong Hua’s hair. “Ah Da, don’t let him leave your sight for the next few days.”
“Yes, Miss Shen.”
Tong Hua had to get to work, so he left Rose Castle after showering.
In the study room.
Mu Yuan said, “I was the one who caught her personally, so I got news about it yesterday night, the moment something was off. This thing is not as easy as it seems. The order to release her was given by another superior. I am from the military unit, yet I did not get any information about it. There is something very wrong about this.”
“The Lu Family isn’t capable of this!” Ye Ling said.
Mu Yuan nodded. “Lu Mengyun’s failed attempt at murder is associated with too many things. Nobody would dare to take this matter lightly. They all fear being targeted and being talked about. Everyone is meticulous and diligent about this matter. There must be someone scarier than we can imagine behind their backs.”
The moment he received the information, he rushed over.
“Lu Mengyun isn’t even important. No one would care about her life. The Lu Family has almost gone bankrupt because of me, and they’re just empty. They can still scare a few people, but they have no capabilities or whatsoever anymore,” Ye Ling said calmly. “That time, the Ye Family just loved it when the Lu Family and I were destroyed at the same time. The Lu Family was badly defeated while I had ‘died’. That seemed to be exactly what they wished for. There is no longer anything attractive about the Lu Family. The opposition may want something else other than the Lu Family in exchange for the release of Lu Mengyun.”
“Lu Mengxi.” Ye Ling’s voice was cold. “She’s the only one that’s valuable.”
“She is the proxy of Mr. Yuan. Could Mr. Yuan be the one offering something?”
Ye Ling thought deeply and felt rather insecure.
Mu Yuan said, “That is the only thing that seems to make sense. Lu Mengxi made Lu Mengyun stay in prison for a few months so that discussions would die down. Then, she got someone to release her. Makes sense?”
“She’s not a silly woman. Even if she wanted to save her sister, she wouldn’t do it so openly and cause such a huge commotion,” Ye Ling said. “It’s as if she’s putting up a show.”
Mu Yuan said, “My dad said that this issue is beyond the limits of the Mu Family.”
Ye Ling’s face turned cold. If this was out of the limits for the Mu Family, then the area that the other people were controlling had increased.
Mu Yuan said, “Oh right, I’m back this time to bring you a piece of information.”
“What?”
“The Eldest Master of Ghost City is still alive!“
