Chapter 164: Old Tricks Reused

No need to have a meal; I just came to see Mrs. Lu today. Seeing that Mrs. Lu still has the strength to speak, I feel relieved.

Lu Jingqing glanced at Secretary Li beside him and said, 'Xiao Li, bring the supplements we sent over and hand them to Mrs. Lu.'

Yes.

Secretary Li casually placed the two supplements on Zheng Hongyu's bedside.

At this moment.

Su Yun Jiao was waiting at the Lu Family's gate for Lu Jingqing to come out.

Just then, Su Yun Jiao suddenly saw a servant walk from upstairs to the garage.

Su Yun Jiao clearly remembered that servant, who had always been by Zheng Hongyu's side.

It seems Zheng Hongyu intends to reuse her old trick, tampering with Lu Jingqing's car.

Really clumsy.

"Su Yun Jiao?"

Lu Chi had originally been returning to his room, but from the second-floor window he saw Su Yun Jiao waiting downstairs for Lu Jingqing.

Lu Chi ran downstairs and opened the Lu Family's gate for Su Yun Jiao.

"What are you here for?"

"What did your family's servant go to the garage to do?"

Su Yun Jiao came up and questioned him directly.

Lu Chi seemed displeased with Su Yun Jiao's questioning; he furrowed his brows and said, 'Su Yun Jiao, what do you mean? Are you suggesting our family wants to harm Lu Jingqing?'

Su Yun Jiao's tone just now clearly meant that.

Su Yun Jiao originally didn't want to make her words so obvious.

But she is genuinely worried about Lu Jingqing's condition now.

"You should know better than I what kind of person your mother is; this time she pretended to be ill to lure Brother Jingqing here—who knows what she's scheming?"

"You..."

Lu Chi's face darkened.

"Su Yun Jiao, must you always think the worst of people? My mother only wanted to plead with Lu Jingqing because we have no money; aren't the things you just said a bit too much?"

"Your mother has kidnapped me repeatedly, trying to kill me, all to benefit your Lu family and pave the way for you—don't you know this better than I do?"

Since earlier, when Su Yun Jiao realized that Lu Chi knew about Lu Mu's plan, her dislike for Lu Chi has lessened.

She had thought Lu Chi already had a sense of right and wrong.

Now it seems Lu Chi is still the same as before.

Whatever his mother does, he can always find an excuse to speak up for Lu Mu.

Seeing Lu Chi remain silent, Su Yun Jiao immediately took out her phone to dial 110.

Seeing this, Lu Chi immediately grabbed Su Yun Jiao's arm, his face dark, and asked, 'What are you trying to do?'

"Just now your family's servant sneaked down to the basement, not knowing what they intended to do—I naturally had to call the police to investigate. How could you not even trust your own mother?"

"I..."

Lu Chi's face darkened.

He certainly doesn't distrust his mother; he just doesn't want Su Yun Jiao to misunderstand them.

"Lu Chi, you know deep down that your mother will do anything for money; if Lu Jingqing really meets with an accident today, I will make your whole family pay with their lives."

When Su Yun Jiao said those words just now, Lu Chi felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Before, Su Yun Jiao was the one who followed behind him, looking out for him.

Even when he disliked Lu Jingqing, Su Yun Jiao would follow suit and dislike him too—but now, for some reason, Su Yun Jiao is being extraordinarily kind and reliant on Lu Jingqing.

"Is Lu Jingqing really that good? Are you willing to go to such lengths for him?"

"Yes."

Su Yun Jiao almost without hesitation answered Lu Chi's question.

Lu Jingqing doesn't know how many times better he is than Lu Chi.

At least Lu Jingqing has always been protecting her, while Lu Chi has always been the one who hurt her the most.

Even knowing that his mother has been harming his childhood sweetheart, Lu Chi merely lets it happen.

Taking advantage of Lu Chi's inattention, Su Yun Jiao ran straight to the Lu Family's garage.

Lu Chi came to his senses and realized he couldn't let Su Yun Jiao go to the underground garage.

Because even he is aware of his mother's intentions.

But Su Yun Jiao was running too fast, and having grown up in the Lu Family, she knew the premises well; soon she reached the underground garage and saw the female servant tampering with Lu Jingqing's car.

Upon seeing Su Yun Jiao, the female servant was obviously frightened, and the pliers she held were aimed at Su Yun Jiao: 'Miss Su, what did you just see?'

"Stop!"

Lu Chi arrived at the garage just in time to see his family's Wang Ma aiming the pliers at Su Yun Jiao.

Wang Ma was obviously not doing this for the first time; Lu Chi, face darkened, said, 'Wang Ma, you can't do this.'

"Young Master."

Wang Ma blinked, not expecting Lu Chi to have also run down to the underground garage.

But she no longer had any extra time.

Lu Jingqing and Secretary Li would soon come downstairs from upstairs, and then Lu Jingqing would get into the tampered car.

If this fails, the Lu Family will be doomed as well.

"Young Master, hurry and take Miss Su away—don't ruin Madam's plan."

Before Wang Ma could finish speaking, Lu Jingqing's voice came from the elevator: 'What plan are you trying to carry out?'

Lu Jingqing already knew what Zheng Hongyu intended to do; he refrained from acting, merely wanting to see how far she could go.

In the end, all her tricks amounted to just this.

Lu Jingqing hadn't expected Su Yun Jiao to actually come after him.

Seeing Lu Jingqing unharmed, Su Yun Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just saw her tampering with your car; she must have cut your brake line. I've already called the police; they should be here shortly."

Hearing the words "call the police," Wang Ma's face changed instantly.

I never expected Su Yun Jiao would suddenly choose to call the police.

This ruined all their plans.

Lu Chi stepped forward, face dark, and said, "Hurry up and throw away whatever you're holding! What exactly are you trying to do?"

Are you going to attack them in their own home?

When the police arrive, who will be able to explain clearly what actually happened?

I'm afraid that even if the Lu family doesn't have to repay the company's debts, they might still end up in prison for intentional murder—a fate possibly worse than embezzling public funds.

"Since you've come, don't leave."

At this moment, Zheng Hongyu dropped the pretense.

She simply walked out of the elevator.

This time, she never intended to let Lu Jingqing leave alive.

Since she couldn't stage it as a car accident, she might as well just attack directly.

"Mom!"

Lu Chi's face turned pale.

I never expected his own mother truly intended to strike at Lu Jingqing, and this time it had come to a life-or-death situation.

"You idiot, hurry up and come over here."
