Mrs. Lu was completely confused...

She could sense a hint of anger in Lu Huohua's tone. They were always polite and kind to each other, and Lu Huohua rarely spoke to her in such a tone.

Seeing that his wife didn't speak, Lu Huohua slowed down his tone and said, "Okay, Huizhen, you go home first and call me when you get home. That's it. I'll hang up first."

When Lu Huohua heard that his wife was at Zhao Wanru's house, he was afraid that she would say something wrong and be used by the scheming Zhao Wanru.

Mrs. Lu stood up and said with an apologetic smile, "Wanru, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to go home for, so I can't have lunch at your house."

Zhao Wanru had heard that the call just now was from Lu Huohua. She was very puzzled. Why did Mrs. Lu suddenly want to leave? What did Lu Huohua say on the phone?

Zhao Wanru warmly asked, "Auntie, is it Uncle Lu who called? The food will be ready soon, please eat first before leaving."

Mrs. Lu declined, "No, Wanru, let's do it another day."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was determined to leave, Zhao Wanru hurriedly called her mother out of the kitchen and said, "Mom, please persuade Auntie, she insists on leaving."

When Zhao Wanru's mother heard this, she smiled warmly and tried to persuade him to stay, "What's the hurry? Eat first, then leave. The food is ready."

"No, there's something urgent going on at home. I'm really sorry. You and Wanru can come to my house some other day."

With that, Mrs. Lu picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

Zhao Wanru's mother stopped trying to persuade her to stay and said with a smile, "Since you have something urgent to do, I won't try to persuade you to stay. We can get together again some other day."

As soon as she got home, Mrs. Lu immediately called Lu Huohua and asked anxiously:

"Howard, I'm home, what's up?"

Lu Huohua said angrily, “Huizhen, we have all been deceived by Zhao Wanru’s illusion. She has a very bad character!”

Mrs. Lu didn’t understand why Lu Huohua suddenly commented on Zhao Wanru like this. She asked with a confused look on her face, “Huohua, what happened?”

Lu Huohua told Mrs. Lu that Zhao Wanru had eavesdropped on his phone conversation.

Mrs. Lu was horrified. "Huo Hua, are you sure... the person eavesdropping outside your office door was Wanru?"

"With surveillance evidence, can I still joke with you about this?"

Mrs. Lu couldn't believe that Zhao Wanru would do such a thing.

"Howard, she didn't do anything out of line to you or the company, did she?"

"I suspect that she and Mr. Wu are colluding to deal with me and Sun Xue. Recently, we were taken away by the public security organs for investigation one after another. It should be related to her eavesdropping on my phone calls."

Mrs. Lu was very shocked. "Huo Hua, why did she do this? Our family usually treats her well, why would she frame you?"

"Character, she has a character problem!"

Lu Huohua was very angry and immediately warned Mrs. Lu:

“Don’t worry about it, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and if it is true, I will make her pay for her actions.

You are pretending to know nothing now. You cannot mention anything about the company or the things between me and Sun Xue in front of them. From now on, you must be on guard against this mother and daughter. I suspect that Zhao Wanru must have some conspiracy when she came to my company!"

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Lu was still in shock for a long time. She simply couldn't believe that Zhao Wanru could be such a person.

She also thought that Zhao Wanru was a good person and had even thought about making her the daughter-in-law of the Lu family!

It’s terrifying to think about it. She almost made a big mistake and ruined her son’s happiness for life.

Thinking about all the goodwill Zhao Wanru and her daughter had shown in front of their family over the past year, she felt terrible.

Quancheng City, police station.

The results of the investigation came out. There was no strong evidence to prove the charges that Sun Xue and Lu Tingfeng had sex in a hotel room and engaged in illegal business transactions.

After being detained at the police station for 48 hours, the two were finally released.

Another important reason why they came out so quickly was that Lu Huohua's friend Mr. Li found someone, otherwise, they would not have been able to come out so quickly.

They didn't know that before Wu Zechen framed them, he had already mobilized a lot of social connections, but he never expected that the connections Mr. Li found were even stronger than his.

Zhu Biao received a call from Sun Xue and waited outside the police station early to pick her up.

The two walked out of the police station gate, and Lu Tingfeng took the initiative to open the passenger door and got in.

The car started slowly, and Sun Xue asked, "Tingfeng, where are we going now?"

Lu Tingfeng did not answer, but said to Zhu Biao with a vigilant look, "Uncle, don't drive too fast, drive slower, and see who is following us."

Zhu Biao glanced at the rearview mirror nervously, "Mr. Lu, you said... someone is following us?"

Sun Xue was also confused. She looked out the window in confusion and asked nervously, "Where is it?"

Lu Tingfeng confidently analyzed, "Sun Xue, think about it, your uncle sent you to the hotel where I was staying, and within an hour, the police came to my door. Don't you think there is something wrong here?

Someone must have been targeting you, followed you to the hotel, followed you and memorized the room I stayed in, and then called the police to frame us."

When Sun Xue heard this, she suddenly understood and broke out in a cold sweat. She was too careless and didn't even think about the real reason behind this. She just guessed that it was Wu Zechen's doing.

"Which bastard dares to follow us? If I find out, I will smash his head!" Zhu Biao cursed angrily.

"Uncle, you must have been targeted a long time ago, so you should be careful when traveling in the future." Lu Tingfeng reminded.

The car moved forward slowly.

Lu Tingfeng suddenly pointed at the rearview mirror and said to Zhu Biao, "Uncle, did you notice? The white car behind us should be the car following us."

Zhu Biao looked carefully and actually found that there was a white car following them from a distance.

"Mr. Lu, how do you know that car is following us?"

Lu Tingfeng smiled and said, "Uncle, if you don't believe it, let's verify it."

Zhu Biao was puzzled, "How to verify it?"

"Follow my instructions and play hide-and-seek with them."

Lu Tingfeng glanced at the fuel gauge and said, "Uncle, the car's fuel is running low. Let's go to the gas station and fill it up first."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

"Uncle, you can drive faster now."

As the car accelerated, Lu Tingfeng discovered that the car behind it also sped up, but always maintained a safe distance from them.

"Uncle, you see, when we go slow, the car behind us will go slow too. When we speed up, it will also speed up."

Zhu Biao muttered and cursed, "You bastards, you still want to follow me? I will kill you later!"

Sun Xue added with a smile, "Tingfeng, I've been driving a taxi for decades, so I'm a real veteran driver with good skills."

Lu Tingfeng was delighted, "That's great, then let's play hide-and-seek with them!"

Coming out of the gas station, Zhu Biao asked, "Boss Lu, where are we going next?"

Lu Tingfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the place with the heaviest traffic here?"

Sun Xue immediately answered, "Train station, bus station, and commercial center."

Lu Tingfeng made a decisive decision, "Then let's go to the commercial center, uncle, you can test their technical level by the way."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, you two take your seats, we'll be leaving soon!"

Zhu Biao laughed, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
