Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 622 - 605 Report

An old lady rushed into the house as soon as the door opened and, seeing the injuries on Tang Sufen, angrily scolded, "Old Lu, how can you hit your wife?"

Lu Hongjun said, "She stole two antique items I bought from the market to sell and got five thousand yuan. She used the money all on her eldest son. Do you think she deserved to be hit?"

Previously, for the sake of face, although there was a fuss, it was not made public. Tang Sufen was even less likely to tell, otherwise, her son would be treated like a thief by others.

The old lady was stunned and looked at Tang Sufen, asking, "Sufen, is what he said true?"

If she really stole Old Lu’s things to subsidize her son, how could the days go on?

Tang Sufen’s mind was still heavy at the moment, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and it took her a while to react to his accusation. However, she couldn’t admit to it. If she admitted, the neighbors would look down on her: "You clearly agreed to it, why are you going back on your word now?"

Lu Hongjun angrily said, "Those two items, I planned to pass them on to Gou Dan and Gou Sheng. How could I agree to let you sell them? Tang Sufen, you are nothing but a thief."

Several neighbors who came over after hearing the commotion looked differently at Tang Sufen. One who came to see the excitement said, "Old Lu, you better keep the house deed safe. Don’t let her steal it to sell, or you’ll end up on the streets."

An old lady who couldn’t stand Tang Sufen said aloud, "This house was bought by Old Lu’s daughter, and it’s in her name. If she dares to sell it, she’ll go straight to the police station!"

Everyone was talking, making Tang Sufen’s head almost explode: "All of you get out. This is a matter between me and Old Lu, we’ll solve it ourselves."

Not wanting people to watch the drama, Lu Hongjun also sent the neighbors out.

Tang Sufen endured the soreness in her body and asked, "Old Lu, if I’m wrong somewhere, just tell me. Why the big fuss?"

Lu Hongjun calmed down and realized he had been too impulsive earlier, and he still needed Tang Sufen to persuade Huang Xiaoyu: "I lost my temper just now, but you shouldn’t have been talking nonsense with Huang Xiaoyu about me giving a lot of old items to Jiaxin. Now she believes it, and is forcing me to send her to Hong Kong, threatening to report me if she doesn’t get her way."

Tang Sufen didn’t expect her daughter to resort to such made-up stories to force Lu Hongjun for a trip to Hong Kong: "Old Lu, I didn’t tell her about this matter..."

"Didn’t tell her? Then why did she say you eavesdropped on my conversation with Jiazong to learn about it? Tang Sufen, you fabricated this, deal with it quickly. If she really goes crazy and reports me, don’t blame me for turning hostile."

Tang Sufen quickly agreed.

In the evening, Lu Hongjun went to find Lu Jiaguang, still hoping he would call Lu Jiaxin. With no other option, after taking him to the study, Lu Jiaguang repeated, "Third Uncle, Jiaxin is not going to get involved in this matter, so don’t even think about it."

"If I end up inside, will she look good?"

Lu Jiaguang was silent for a moment before saying, "Back then, when Jiaxin asked if those items were obtained illegally, you swore they were bought with your salary. If you had told the truth back then, Jiaxin would have resolved this, and you wouldn’t be threatened by the Huang Family now."

Lu Hongjun said sternly, "What’s the point of saying this now? We need to find a way to solve it quickly."

Lu Jiaguang sighed, "Third Uncle, why don’t you understand yet? Jiaxin promised to let you live a worry-free old age to avoid gossip. If you committed a crime, she can say she’s upholding justice by not getting involved, and people will praise her for it."

Seeing that Lu Hongjun remained silent with a dark face, Lu Jiaguang understood he knew but was unwilling to think about it: "If Huang Xiaoyu uses these old items to threaten Jiaxin to send her to Hong Kong, and if she gets her way, she’ll extort one hundred thousand or even a million once there... Ultimately, this has nothing to do with Jiaxin, and she’s not going to give in to Huang Xiaoyu’s threats."

Therefore, he wouldn’t make the call, because if he did, Jiaxin would probably fall out with him. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Lu Hongjun was silent for a moment and said, "But I gave these items to her, and if investigated, she won’t escape the connection."

Lu Jiaguang’s face turned very ugly, and after a while, he said, "She didn’t know those items were obtained illegally. When investigated, she will just return the items."

As for how Lu Hongjun got away safely last time thanks to Jiaxin’s help, he didn’t mention it, fearing the entanglement with the mess of the Huang family. Tang Sufen was stealing, Huang Jianshe and Huang Jianye acted without limits, Huang Xiaoyu shameless, if Third Uncle didn’t cut ties with them, he feared for his own safety.

Seeing that Lu Hongjun wanted to continue, Lu Jiaguang shook his head: "Third Uncle, even if this spreads, it won’t affect Jiaxin much. Hong Kong differs from here; if you don’t have money there, you’ll be looked down upon, but if you do, even prison time doesn’t matter to anyone. In her case, even less attention will be on her."

Lu Hongjun didn’t want to go to prison, which made him anxious: "Jiaguang, I’m at this age, if I go to prison, I’ll die in there."

Lu Jiaguang asked back, "What do you want me to do, then? Do you want me to send Huang Xiaoyu to Hong Kong? Third Uncle, I don’t have that capability."

Fortunately, he had previously refused the old items. Jiaxin taking them won’t affect her, but if he had taken them, they’d be hot potatoes now, impossible to clean up once exposed. Once again, he was grateful for not being greedy, otherwise not only his future but also his children’s would be at risk.

Huang Xiaoyu, in order to go to Hong Kong, even stooped to old men, thinking she had it in the bag. However, when Lu Jiaxin refused, she immediately broke down, ignoring Tang Sufen’s obstruction and went to report Lu Hongjun. Not an anonymous report, but directly to the Supervisory Committee about Lu Hongjun.

Coincidentally, the one who received Huang Xiaoyu this time was the same newcomer, Guo Qinqin, from last time.

To take revenge, Huang Xiaoyu claimed that Lu Jiaxin went to Hong Kong, sold the batch of old items given by Lu Hongjun, and used the proceeds to do business.

To see Lu Hongjun imprisoned and Lu Jiaxin’s reputation ruined, Huang Xiaoyu said, "Each item in that batch is a national treasure, and due to this greedy father and daughter, they’ve ended up abroad."

Guo Qinqin originally suspected the capital for Lu Jiaxin’s business was acquired from Lu Hongjun’s corruption and bribery, not expecting the truth to be even worse. With Huang Xiaoyu’s testimony, she immediately sought her superior, requesting an investigation into Lu Hongjun.

The report was made under her real name, and as the stepdaughter of the reported person, the case warranted serious attention. Her superior agreed to let Guo Qinqin start the investigation and also reported it to higher-ups.

Previously, Lu Hongjun was certain that this matter couldn’t be traced back to him because the two intermediaries were gone. Investigating from the bottom up wouldn’t lead to him. But now that he’d been reported, starting from him made it easy.
