Chapter 590: Too Despicable
"Of course I know. I am talking to the head of the Lu family, one of the top ten families in Ancheng." Xu Qingxue responded calmly, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Since you know my identity, you should understand that you can't afford to offend me..." Lu Tianlong tried to show his authority.
But Xu Qingxue interrupted him: "Then do you know who you are facing now?"
Lu Tianlong was stunned and began to reassess the police officer in front of him. She was so young and yet she was already a captain. She must have a lot of power behind her.
Could it be that she is a close confidant of the top management?
"check it out."
Xu Qingxue pointed to her police rank and said, "I am speaking to you on behalf of the national law enforcement agencies."
Hearing this, Lu Tianlong was almost angry enough to vomit blood, and Lin Fan next to him also felt embarrassed.
Xu Qingxue continued to pressure: "Master Lu, are you going to go against the entire country's legal system? No matter how powerful the Lu family is, it is insignificant before the national law!"
"Don't accuse me. When did I ever say I would go against the laws of the country?"
Lu Tianlong retorted: "Besides, who would accept such an unreasonable request to cooperate with the work?"
"We have evidence that your subordinates were involved in an assault that caused Zhou Haoxin to lose the use of one hand." Xu Qingxue directly stated her purpose.
"My people? Who is this Zhou Haoxin? Even if this really happened, what evidence do you have pointing to my people? Who did it specifically?" Lu Tianlong did not intend to admit it.
"It seems that Patriarch Lu is unwilling to cooperate? I have already given you a chance."
Xu Qingxue sighed. She originally wanted to resolve the problem peacefully to avoid more serious consequences, but Lu Tianlong obviously did not want to cooperate.
"Humph, it's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how to appreciate a good heart. Some people just don't deserve the kind help of others."
Xu Qingxue said finally, implying that Lu Tianlong missed an opportunity for a peaceful resolution.
Lin Fan smiled at Xu Qingxue and said casually, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm only responsible for taking away the people who hurt Zhou Haoxin."
Xu Qingxue took a few steps back and replied briefly, "I understand."
Lin Fan nodded and prepared to walk towards Lu Tianlong. However, Lu Bazhong's dragon-headed cane slammed against the ground with a loud bang, interrupting his movements.
Lu Bazhong stood up, his eyes wide with anger, and questioned Lin Fan, "Boy, do you think you can do whatever you want in Ancheng and no one can discipline you?"
"It's hard to say whether you can, but you're clearly not qualified."
Lin Fan disagreed and said with a hint of amusement:
"Old man, please don't take advantage of your age and try to bully me. If anything happens to you, it has nothing to do with me."
"You...come!"
Lu Bazhong shouted angrily. His men, who were waiting outside, immediately rushed into the ward, the bulges on their waists showing that they were ready to use their weapons at any time.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Li and others exclaimed when they saw this, looking a little at a loss.
Lin Fan and Xu Qingxue faced the crowd that surrounded them with calm expressions.
Lu Bazhong turned to Xu Qingxue and suggested, "Captain, can I talk to him alone? As for that matter, I will have my people cooperate with the investigation."
"No problem, I'll just watch the fun here and won't interfere." Xu Qingxue responded indifferently.
"It seems that you are determined to see this through to the end?" Lu Bazhong's face darkened and he took out his cell phone.
"Since you won't listen to me, then you should at least listen to the director, right?"
Realizing this, Lu Tianlong stopped pursuing the matter and decided it would be wiser to contact the higher-ups directly. Even if Xu Qingxue did have a background, this was a good opportunity to build connections.
The call was quickly connected, and a cheerful voice came from the other end: "Hello, Mr. Lu, why did you think of calling me?"
"Leader, I need your help with a small matter." Lu Bazhong started the conversation politely.
"What's the matter?" the other party asked.
"There's a female police officer showing off here, claiming to be the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. I hope you can get her out of my sight."
"The captain of the criminal investigation team? Is it Xu Qingxue?" the other party asked.
"Yes, it's her." Lu Bazhong confirmed.
"Let me answer the phone myself. If he wants me to leave, let him tell me directly." Xu Qingxue said fearlessly.
Lu Bazhong frowned, surprised by the young girl's attitude.
"She's Xu Qingxue. She said she wants to speak to you directly."
"Okay, turn on the speakerphone and I'll talk to her." The person on the other end of the phone responded seriously.
Lu Bazhong nodded and turned on the hands-free function. Lu Tianlong and Lu Zhen looked at each other, and a sense of déjà vu came to their minds.
They recalled the scene at the Tianlong Hotel. After Lu Tianlong called the general of the Ancheng Garrison District, the course of events changed.
"How much can a small policeman do..."
Lu Tianlong muttered to himself, as if he didn't quite believe what he said.
At this time, a man's gentle voice sounded in the ward, asking why Xu Qingxue appeared there.
This voice made Lu Tianlong feel that something was wrong - the tone was more like a communication between an elder and a younger person, rather than an order from a superior to a subordinate.
"I'm on a mission." Xu Qingxue answered concisely.
The man on the other end of the line immediately expressed his support: "Of course you should put the mission first."
This surprised the Lu family father and son. Obviously, this policewoman's identity was not simple, even the big boss respected her so much.
The following conversation left Lu Bazhong dumbfounded. The boss not only agreed to Xu Qingxue's request, but also offered to send reinforcements.
But Xu Qingxue refused the help and received the full support of the big boss. "I'm in charge of everything," this sentence made the atmosphere even more mysterious.
The call ended abruptly, without giving Lu Bazhong any chance to respond.
He was stunned, feeling ignored. The important person who had just respectfully addressed him as "you" had now hung up the phone without even saying hello.
Lu Bazhong was so angry that he threw his phone to the ground. Xu Qingxue said lightly, "As you get older, it's good for your health to maintain a peaceful state of mind."
"You..." Lu Bazhong's face turned pale and he could hardly speak.
"Dad, don't be angry." Lu Tianlong hurriedly comforted him, but his heart was full of doubts.
Young people nowadays are really amazing.
First it was Lin Fan, who made Tong Zhiguo try to please him in every way.
And now this female police officer even has to treat the big boss with courtesy? Is Ancheng still the same Ancheng as before?
"Lu Tianlong, don't you even have the courage to seek revenge on me openly? You only have the ability to resort to shady little tricks?"
Lin Fan scoffed, not caring at all about what the Lu family thought.
"Sending someone to break Zhou Haoxin's hand, and then putting the blame on me. This trick is too despicable, isn't it?"
"Lin Fan, I don't know what you are talking about."
Lu Tianlong denied it, adding: "Even if it was done by my men, there is no evidence to prove that I ordered it. I cannot interfere with their actions."
