Several uniformed men walked in through the door, accompanied by police officers. The leader at the head of the group saluted Old Master Lu and called out, "Commander Lu."

He then ordered his men, "Take him away."

As Grandpa Lu watched his son being taken away, his eyes were filled with heartache and anguish.

As soon as Lu Jianguo was led out, Yao Lamei rushed over, raising her voice and shouting, "Who are you? What right do you have to arrest my man?"

"Let go of my man right now! Do you know who he is? He's the head of the department at our city hospital!"

The people from the city's anti-investment office ignored her and got into the car with Lu Jianguo.

Yao Lamei watched helplessly as the man was arrested, and was instantly dumbfounded. After the car disappeared, she rushed into Old Master Lu's house with a howl and started throwing a tantrum.

"Dad, how could you just stand by and watch Jianguo get arrested?"

Now that he's gone, what are we, a widow and her orphan, going to do?

"I don't care, you have to rescue Jianguo, or I'm not leaving this room."

As soon as Old Master Lu saw Yao Lamei, he couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "Stand up. If there's anything you want to say, you can talk it out. What kind of behavior is this?"

"Dad, so you've agreed to rescue Jianguo." Yao Lamei was overjoyed.

"Building a nation is not just about speculation and profiteering; it has crossed the national red line, and there's no turning back." Old Master Lu's eyes turned cold, and his aged voice carried an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lamei burst into tears. She had finally made it through and been brought back, but before she could even enjoy a few good days, her husband was arrested.

What are we going to do now?

"Dad, you're a senior commander, with such a high rank, saving Jianguo is just a matter of a word!" Yao Lamei rushed towards Old Master Lu.

Lu Qiyue quickly stepped in front of the old man, his eyes sweeping coldly over Yao Lamei: "Sister-in-law, if you don't understand what Dad is saying, I'll take you to the police station and let them explain things to you properly."

Hearing this, Yao Lamei felt a little scared and stopped in her tracks, but she still glared fiercely at Lu Qiyue: "Third brother, don't think that just because your eldest brother has been arrested, you can seize the old man's property."

"I'm telling you, my Chengyu is still here." She finished speaking and turned to leave.

But Lu Qiyue stopped her: "Sister-in-law, I'll take Lin Wan to your house later."

Don't forget to apologize to her and return her belongings.

Yao Lamei stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She said somewhat guiltily, "I can apologize, but our house was burgled today, and the Jiang family's things were also stolen."

If all else fails, I'll just have my Chengyu marry Jiang Linwan.

Now that Lu Jianguo has been arrested, the family has lost its source of income and has just been robbed. Jiang Linwan is rich. If she marries into the family, will they still have to worry about not having money to spend in the future?

Yao Lamei thought about it more and more and felt it was a good idea. After saying that, she hurriedly went home, intending to give her son a good talking-to.

She didn't notice that Lu Qiyue behind her was furious, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

When Old Master Lu heard her words, he was so angry that he glared at Lu Qiyue and warned, "You've already agreed to marry that girl Wanwan, so you're not allowed to go back on your word."

Otherwise, I'll beat you to death.

"No." Lu Qiyue shook his head. Lu Chengyu was seen naked with his cousin by so many people, and Yao Lamei still dared to think about marrying Lin Wan.

He said goodbye to Grandpa Lu. Even though it wasn't far, he was still afraid that she would be bullied, so he drove his Jeep quickly to Jiang Linwan's house.

"Uncle, what brings you here?" Jiang Linwan asked with some concern. "How is Grandpa?"

"My dad is fine, so please don't call me 'uncle' anymore," Lu Qiyue reminded him.

Jiang Linwan frowned, somewhat troubled. What should he call him? Lu Qiyue, or Qiyue?

Seeing her expression, Lu Qiyue assumed she was disgusted by his age, and he coughed awkwardly, saying, "The marriage application should be approved tomorrow."

We're getting our marriage certificate the day after tomorrow, and if you keep calling him "Uncle," people will inevitably start making wild guesses.

"I mistakenly thought you always regarded me as an elder, and it's a small matter that we have no affection for each other."

If they encounter fabricated stories and speculations that there's some other entanglement between us…”

A hint of fear flashed in Jiang Linwan's eyes. If people found out about her family's relationship, it would probably implicate her uncle.

Her voice was soft and sweet: "Brother Qiyue."

Upon hearing this address, Lu Qiyue's lips curled up slightly, and he opened the passenger door: "Get in."

As the car engine started, Lu Qiyue took her to Lu Chengyu's house, and on the way, he mentioned that Lu Jianguo had been arrested.

Jiang Linwan didn't expect the other side to act so quickly. In his previous life, Lu Jianguo rose through the ranks thanks to his apprentice Sun Shuyao's amazing medical skills, and soon became the dean.

After that, the Lu family's life got better and better, but unfortunately she didn't get to enjoy it. The Lu family had just moved into a small Western-style house and hired a nanny when her health collapsed.

Perhaps these two colluded and embezzled a lot in their past lives, otherwise how could they suddenly become so rich in just ten years and buy a three-story villa in Beijing?

Now that Lu Jianguo is gone, and her space is back in her hands, she wonders if Sun Shuyao will still possess the amazing medical skills she had in her previous life.

Lu Qiyue drove up and parked his car in front of Lu Chengyu's house.

The news of Lu Jianguo's arrest had already spread throughout the streets, and many people were standing on the street, eating sunflower seeds and discussing the matter.

When they saw Lu Qiyue bring Jiang Linwan, everyone's eyes lit up. One of the gossipy old ladies couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Linwan, I remember Chengyu was going to marry you, wasn't he?"

"Why were you and Shuyao naked together in the room today? You didn't see it, it was an eyesore!"

Jiang Linwan lowered her head, then looked up again, her eyes red-rimmed: "Auntie, Lu Chengyu and I have canceled our engagement. As for that day..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Chengyu rushed out and said, "I didn't touch Jiang Linwan at all that day."

"My mother forced me to marry Jiang Linwan and drugged us, but we didn't do anything that day."

He had barely finished speaking when Yao Lamei chased after him from the yard, glaring at Lu Chengyu with a face full of anger: "Shut up!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Linwan with a fawning expression: "Linwan, don't listen to this brat's nonsense."

Marriages have always been arranged by parents. I like you and want you to be my daughter-in-law. I think today is a good day, so you two should go and get your marriage certificate.

"Mom, just give up on that idea. I will never marry Jiang Linwan."

"She's not even a fraction as good as Shuyao." Lu Chengyu said angrily.

Jiang Linwan sneered: "I will never marry Lu Chengyu. Compared to Brother Qiyue, he's not even worth a second."

Everyone was even more shocked, and they all spoke up to dissuade Jiang Linwan: "Linwan, you should think this through!"

"Lu Qiyue won't do. If you marry him, won't you be living the life of a widow?"
