Chapter 167: Lu Chi Doesn't Want Anything Anymore

Zheng Hongyu has already been locked up in prison.

Because she is suspected of intentional murder and also has triad organization behavior, Zheng Hongyu is being held in solitary confinement.

Zheng Hongyu pounded on the prison gate, saying: "I am the lady of the Lu family, you can't treat me like this! Open the door! Open it quickly!"

"What's the noise?"

The prison guard warned Zheng Hongyu, saying: "Do you know you're suspected of illegal killing? Be honest now; you'll have a chance to defend yourself later. Don't make a fuss here."

After saying that, the guard turned and left; Zheng Hongyu naturally dared not make a fuss, fearing that a single mistake would get her directly convicted.

No, she absolutely cannot stay here; she must find a way to leave!

At that moment, the guard outside suddenly returned: "Zheng Hongyu, your family has come to visit you."

Zheng Hongyu quickly realized it must be her son coming; a pleased smile appeared on her face, and she immediately followed the guard outside.

Lu Chi was indeed outside the prison; Zheng Hongyu immediately picked up the phone and said to Lu Chi: "Son, hurry, use all your connections, find a way to get me out! Mom has an address book; call everyone on it one by one, say that Madam Lu has an emergency, and ask them to get me out. Did you hear me?"

Previously I spent money to build all those connections just for today.

Lu Chi's face turned grim: "Mom, I've already called everyone, but... it didn't work."

After Zheng Hongyu's incident, Lu Chi immediately grabbed the family address book and called all the uncles and aunts listed, but they either hung up straight away, said they were busy, or directly said they couldn't help.

Those uncles and aunts Lu Chi had met before were basically good people; who would have thought that now the Lu family is in trouble, not a single one is willing to help them.

"How is that possible? I painstakingly built those connections—how could they not even help with such a small favor? Did you actually ask what's going on?"

"The lady of the Liu family said it's not that they don't want to help, but that they can't, because today they all received a message from Lu Jingqing telling them not to help; Lu Jingqing has already arranged everything, making it absolutely impossible for Mom to get out."

Lu Chi also felt for the first time how terrifying Lu Jingqing is.

In the past, when Lu Jingqing visited their home, he always kept a low profile, making people think he was just an ordinary businessman; but now Lu Chi finally realizes how vast the gap between them is.

Lu Jingqing, with just a simple sentence, can cut off all their livelihoods.

After realizing this, Lu Chi finally understands how insignificant he is, even if he is the young master of the Lu family.

Now the Lu family has no money; even his mother cannot be bailed out at the police station.

"Lu Chi, listen to me: go right now and search under the bed at home; you'll find a box of gold, use that gold to bail me out!"

Hearing his mother's words, Lu Chi froze on the spot.

When those debt collectors came to the door before, his mother never mentioned it, but she had actually hidden a box of gold under the bed despite having money.

Lu Chi said: "Mom, why didn't you take out this money earlier?"

"You don't understand; this money is only for when real trouble happens! Now is the time to use it—go back right away and make preparations; I'm waiting here for you to save Mom."

Zheng Hongyu anxiously watched Lu Chi, afraid he would abandon her.

Lu Chi turned pale and said: "Mom, it's completely useless; don't you get it? Lu Jingqing has already greeted the police station, so there's no way to get bail."

"Lu Chi! I'm already in prison; what's the use of saying this now? Hurry up and do what I said—find a way to get me bailed out, that's the proper thing!"

Zheng Hongyu didn't want to hear those useless words.

Lu Chi also knew his words were useless, so he reluctantly agreed, saying: "I'll go try."

"Alright! Go quickly."

Zheng Hongyu didn't want to stay in prison even for a day.

After Lu Chi returned, he immediately lifted Zheng Hongyu's bed and indeed found a box of gold underneath—solid gold bars, no idea how long they'd been hidden.

Lu Chi originally wanted to contact the police station right away, but after thinking it over, he first called Jingyuan.

Inside Jingyuan.

Liu Ma was cooking in the kitchen, didn't hear the phone ring; Su Yun Jiao saw the ringing phone and naturally answered: "Who is it?"

"It's me."

Hearing Lu Chi's voice, Su Yun Jiao instinctively wanted to hang up, but Lu Chi suddenly said: "I really have something to discuss with you; could you please pass the phone to Lu Jingqing?"

Su Yun Jiao clearly knew Lu Chi's early morning call was about Zheng Hongyu, so she bluntly said: "If it's to save your mother, I advise you to give up; it's absolutely impossible."

"Give me the phone to Lu Jingqing; I'll speak to him myself, and if he still refuses, then I'll consider it hopeless."

Upon hearing that, Su Yun Jiao hesitated a moment, then went upstairs to call Lu Jingqing.

Lu Jingqing answered the landline and heard Lu Chi say: "I'm giving you all the assets under my and my mother's names—the Lu family villa, all the Lu family cars, and several properties; this money should be enough to fill the company's loopholes, so release my mother."

"Oh? You guys aren't letting go of these things; is Madam Lu really willing to relinquish all her assets?"

"My mother's seal is in my hand; you don't need to worry about anything else—if you agree, I'll sign a contract with you right away, you release my mother, and then all our assets will be yours."

"That's not a bad idea."

Lu Jingqing originally thought Lu Chi would go hand over a large sum to the police for bail, but he didn't expect Lu Chi to still have brains, knowing that if he didn't loosen up, Zheng Hongyu could never get out of prison.

The money they gave the police station would just be wasted.

Not bad; indeed it's the Lu family's genes—quick thinking.

Seeing that the discussion was settled, Lu Chi said: "Then I'll go over right away to sign the contract; I'll bring the seal and guarantee the contract's validity."

"I still have one additional condition."
