Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Mu Yang nodded quickly; this was definitely an unexpected surprise for him.

Professor Huang shook hands with Lu Yang and then hurriedly left.

Lu Yang sat in the interrogation room, and the policeman opposite him asked him to recount what had happened.

He smiled wryly and said, "When I got back to the hotel, I saw Cheng Lin, my partner, arguing with a woman."

"This woman used extremely foul language and insisted that our store was unhygienic, that she got sick after eating our food, and that we should compensate her."

“But we didn’t want to take the blame, so I called the police.”

After taking notes, the police officer nodded and left without saying anything.

After the door closed, Lu Yang sat quietly inside, while the police outside started talking amongst themselves.

“I strongly suspect that the woman was trying to extort him. This guy dared to rush up to save someone who had a gun, so his character must be good. He wouldn’t do something so opportunistic.”

“We need to start with Qin Sanmei and see if she has some grudge against Lu Yang herself, or if someone instructed her to do this.”

One of the police officers said with a smile.

The other police officers all agreed. Although they had only had a brief encounter with Lu Yang, they were certain that he was a down-to-earth person who acted with great principle and discretion.

He is unlikely to do such a thing.

So the police did not release the two men, nor did they interrogate them again. Instead, they began to investigate Qin Sanmei.

They soon discovered that Qin Sanmei's parents had suddenly become wealthy. Before, the old couple had been struggling to make ends meet and were almost starving to death.

Qin Sanmei's life was also very difficult, but in the last two days, her family suddenly became rich and even started eating meat.

This was truly unusual. The police continued their investigation but could not find the source of their income.

Several police officers went directly to question his parents about where the money they spent came from.

After being intimidated by the police, they finally admitted that the money was given to them by a man surnamed Han.

That person told Qin Sanmei to slander Lu Yang and Cheng Lin's restaurant, and if she succeeded, he would give her a 300 yuan deposit, which was 100 yuan.

Chen Sanmei then spared no effort in smearing Lu Yang.

After learning the truth, the police released Lu Yang from the interrogation room and told him the truth.

Lu Yang was speechless. He thought of Lu Qing; only she could do such a thing.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Please continue the investigation and find out exactly who this person surnamed Han is. I don't know many people with the surname Han, so I'll have to do a quick search."

He concluded that this man surnamed Han was probably not his enemy, but simply someone else doing his bidding.

Such a thing is something that powerful and influential people would never do, nor would timid, cowardly people who are afraid of getting into trouble.

Lu Yang couldn't figure out who wanted to harm him, but that didn't stop him from directly suing Qin Sanmei.

A week later, the verdict was handed down, and Qin Sanmei was dragged away by the police with a cold face and criminally detained for three months.

Lu Yang felt a sense of satisfaction. He quickly returned to the hotel, where Cheng Lin was sitting in the lobby eating sunflower seeds.

Lu Yang recounted the events to him, and Cheng Lin thought for a moment before saying, "I thought of someone else, Shen Xuwen."

“He would definitely do something like that. He and Lu Qing are the same kind of people, but he is much luckier than Lu Qing.”

Lu Yang was taken aback. He had always thought that Shen Xuwen was a hypocrite and would not hire someone to cause him trouble so directly.

Moreover, this method was somewhat clumsy, but after thinking it over, he found no one more suitable than him.

He was too lazy to think about it anymore. With the New Year approaching, all he wanted to do was have a peaceful holiday and deal with everything else after the New Year.

He and Cheng Lin packed their things and went home for dinner, where there was a large group of people.

He originally thought he would deal with things after the New Year, but when he got to the entrance of his residential compound, he saw Shen Xuwen standing there.

Shen Xuwen was still the same as the last time he had seen him, dressed in a proper outfit, wearing frameless glasses, and was polite and refined.

Lu Yang originally wanted to bypass him; he really had nothing to say to this kind of person.

But Shen Xuwen blocked his way, saying coldly, "I underestimated your methods."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "It's not that you underestimated my methods, but that you treated others like fools. You shouldn't treat the police like fools."

"I didn't find out about Qin Sanmei's matter; the police did. It has nothing to do with me."

"If you're not satisfied, there's nothing I can do. Otherwise, take advantage of the New Year to think about any other dirty tricks you have to deal with me. I'll take any that come my way."

"Even if I lose money and go bankrupt, I can just start over. Do you dare to resign from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?"

Shen Xuwen's face turned ashen. He pointed at Lu Yang's nose and said, "If you hadn't broken me and Xiao Qing up back then, we would have a child now, and he wouldn't have had to suffer so much!"

Lu Yang looked at him coldly, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Even if I don't stop you, can your parents accept someone who was expelled from university for embezzlement and bribery, and who resorts to prostitution and honey traps to murder his own cousin?"

Shen Xuwen's lips twitched. Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "You're not thinking straight, but your parents are."

"If you had said you wanted to marry Lu Qing back then, you probably wouldn't have even gotten past your parents."

Shen Xuwen lowered his head, stubbornly insisting, "That's because I didn't try hard enough. As long as I try, I'm sure I can move my parents and get them to let Lu Qing stay."

Cheng Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sure it wasn't your parents who broke your legs?"

Shen Xuwen looked at Lu Yang with a cold face: "This matter cannot be left like this. Lu Qing was almost killed. You must pay the price. You just wait!"

Lu Yang ignored him completely and walked past him directly into the residential area.

Cheng Lin followed beside him, looking at Shen Xuwen behind them. They walked quite a distance, but Shen Xuwen still stared at Lu Yang with a vicious gaze, as if he wanted to devour Lu Yang alive.

Cheng Lin frowned: "What if this guy doesn't give up?"

Lu Yang sneered: "It's that simple. Just write a letter of complaint and submit it to the Discipline Inspection Commission. His private life is immoral, which is enough to get him suspended from his duties and investigated."

"I originally thought this guy had some brains, but now I realize that Lu Qing ate his brains."

Cheng Lin couldn't help but smile, his mood immediately relaxing. He and Lu Yang quickly walked into the residential area and headed straight for Cheng Lin's home.

As soon as they entered the Cheng Lin family home, they smelled a rich aroma of food.

Cheng Lin's appetite was whetted, and he had just walked over to eat when he suddenly noticed an unpopular fellow at the table.

Lu Yang didn't expect that Old Madam Lu would come over and sit in the main seat.

When Grandma Lu saw Lu Yang, she immediately gave him a fawning smile: "Yangzi, your father has been in Haishi and hasn't come back yet. I have no money and no one to talk to, so I just wanted to come here and join in the fun."
