Chapter 76: Qin Xue Was Taken Away

Two police officers never thought that one day, while handling a case, they would still show evidence to these students.

Seeing this, the principal personally walked up to the officers and said, "Comrade officers, you don't need to worry about them; these students are just concerned about their classmate. I'll let their homeroom teacher handle this later."

The two officers nodded after hearing the principal's promise.

Fang Hong wanted to speak, but the principal's glare shut her up.

Even Fang Hong, upon seeing that look, finally felt afraid.

The principal's face was grim; today had stirred up quite a few incidents.

It's all because of Qin Xue.

When Zhou Tingting's matter was finally settled, Su Yun Jiao let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Jingqing, standing nearby, looked at Su Yun Jiao's expression, his face full of helplessness.

When will this girl start worrying about her own affairs?

She clearly knows the Lu family wants to wipe out her line.

The coming‑of‑age ceremony is imminent, yet she, the person involved, isn't the least bit anxious.

Do you really think having him means everything will be fine?

"Boss Lu, I'm really sorry for taking up your precious time and making you watch this farce here."

The principal felt quite embarrassed.

He hadn't expected things to blow up this much.

He also didn't expect Lu Jingqing to happen to show up just now, coincidentally running into the police at the school.

"My time is limited; as for your Teacher Zhao…"

Lu Jingqing glanced at the homeroom teacher of Class One and said, "Everyone says Teacher Zhao is an elite teacher, but I, with my poor eyesight, can't see any of it."

Secretary Li beside him said to Boss Lu, "Boss Lu, we still have a meeting."

"Jiao Jiao, you don't have class today—come back with me first."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao obediently nodded.

The principal certainly didn't dare to stop Lu Jingqing, so he respectfully saw Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing off.

Lu Chi in the class saw this scene, and his gaze sank involuntarily.

When did Su Yun Jiao become so obedient?

And right in front of Lu Jingqing.

Does Su Yun Jiao not know he dislikes Lu Jingqing the most?

Clearly, Su Yun Jiao had said before that she doesn't like Lu Jingqing.

Yet now she's actually getting so close to Lu Jingqing.

The little follower nearby thought Lu Jingqing was upset because Qin Xue had been taken away, so he kindly said on the side:

"Brother Lu, don't rush—your sister‑in‑law must have been framed. I think that Su Yun Jiao is very suspicious."

"Shut up!"

Lu Chi has had enough trouble today.

He grabbed his bag and headed out of the classroom.

He completely ignored the principal and the Director of Student Affairs.

Over here.

Teacher Zhao glanced at the troublemaking students of Class One and almost saw her own future.

She suppressed her anger and told Fang Hong, "Take the classmates back right away!"

Seeing Teacher Zhao angry, Fang Hong naturally dared not say more.

She could only sheepishly lead the classmates back to the classroom.

"Do you say Qin Xue really hurt someone on purpose?"

"Didn't the police just say that? It shouldn't be false."

"You really think the police would lie for someone else! I think this might be Qin Xue's doing. I said why, when Qin Xue heard Zhou Tingting was entering a competition last Friday, her face looked so unnatural—she definitely didn't want anyone stealing her spotlight."

……

After Qin Xue was taken away by the police, opinions about her in the class became sharply polarized.

Some thought Qin Xue definitely did it on purpose.

But others felt it was a conspiracy theory—Qin Xue must have been framed by the Zhou family because they couldn't stand her.

Hearing those people, Fang Hong immediately retorted, "Qin Xue has such a good nature—how could she do something so vicious? I think Su Yun Jiao is the most suspicious. I don't know if her claim about picking up a bead string is true; maybe she's just trying to get the Director of Student Affairs to investigate little Xue. This woman's scheming is really deep."

Everyone in the class knows Fang Hong and Qin Xue are the closest friends.

When something happened to Qin Xue, Fang Hong was the most concerned.

But now the police have already taken Qin Xue away.

The facts are plain—Qin Xue must have a problem.

But because Fang Hong is too hot‑headed, nobody dares voice their guesses in front of her.

They fear that a moment's carelessness will make Fang Hong target them.

Over here.

Su Yun Jiao had already followed Lu Jingqing to the outside of the teaching building.

Seeing Lu Jingqing glance at his watch again and again, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help saying, "When I called you… were you really in a meeting?"

"What else?"

Lu Jingqing's peripheral vision swept over Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao awkwardly rubbed her nose and said, "If you're in a meeting, you don't have to pick up my phone."

Miss Su, ever since Boss Lu missed your call last time and you rushed over to the office, he's changed that habit.

Secretary Li, standing nearby, was also seeing Boss Lu show such concern for another person for the first time.

Recalling the earlier mix-up, Su Yun Jiao felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, Jingqing bro, was that meeting really important? Do we need to go back and redo it?"

What do you say?

The meeting was interrupted, which means the project got delayed.

The entire company is now waiting for Lu Jingqing's decision.

So they have to hurry back to L Company right away.

Do I have to come with you as well?

There's no time to see you off—get in the car.

After saying that, Lu Jingqing signaled Secretary Li to open the car door.

After seeing Lu Jingqing and Su Yun Jiao into the car, Secretary Li drove off toward L Company.

This isn't the first time Su Yun Jiao has accompanied Lu Jingqing to the company.

The staff at the company quickly grew familiar with Su Yun Jiao.

When Su Yun Jiao arrives, many people come over to say hello.

Hey, Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao, you're adorable today—no surprise you're the boss's daughter.

What daughter? She's my sister!

…… (ellipsis) no names.

Both male and female staff think highly of Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao is not only attractive, but her cute and charming demeanor makes everyone like her.

Su Yun Jiao felt a little shy about greeting everyone one by one.

Standing behind Lu Jingqing, she looked like a little child.

Lu Jingqing headed into the meeting room, while Secretary Li took Su Yun Jiao to the next-door lounge.

Su Yun Jiao glanced at the familiar lounge, then plopped onto a comfy sofa and said, "Little Li, you don't have to stay here to look after me—go help Jingqing; he probably needs you right now."

No problem, I'll have someone get you some snacks right away.

Secretary Li quickly had an assistant bring over some tea snacks.

Seeing this, Su Yun Jiao curiously asked, "What business is the Lu family mainly focusing on these days? Could you give me a hint?"

Hearing that, Secretary Li was a bit surprised and asked, "Miss Su, why are you interested in this?"

A girl her age wouldn't normally be interested in the company's development.

I'm just asking out of curiosity.

Right now, real estate development is naturally the most popular—it's our main business—but we also have interests in other sectors, like running luxury hotels under our brand and developing various commercial districts.

Oh, I see.

After thinking it over, Su Yun Jiao asked, "Don't you have any plans to move into those other businesses?"

Secretary Li hadn't expected Su Yun Jiao to be interested in this; he assumed she was just a kid asking casually, so he ruffled her hair and said, "We do have those plans, but it's not something a child should worry about—Miss Su, you should focus on your schoolwork first."

No...

Su Yun Jiao wanted to say more, but Secretary Li had already gone.

Su Yun Jiao recalled that in her previous life, Lu Chi couldn't do anything except play computer games.

In the end, Lu Chi actually found a way to make money.

Lu Chi made his first fortune by live‑streaming game plays online; later he saw he could earn even more online, so he devoted himself to streaming, and thanks to his good looks, he quickly found another avenue.

Lu Chi leaned on his old contacts and his good looks.

He quickly made a name for himself in that circle.

A few years later, real estate development grew riskier, while online streaming and the AI business began to rake in huge profits.

Su Yun Jiao was certain that the future trend was heading toward big data.

In his previous life, Lu Chi used game streaming to launch a company, and then, leveraging his old contacts, quickly revived the whole Lu clan corporation.

This involved both luck and skill, and it was then that Su Yun Jiao realized college isn't the only path forward.

Even someone like Lu Chi, who isn't particularly talented, will eventually make money using other abilities.

Su Yun Jiao suggested that Lu Jingqing start an influencer firm, but the idea was quickly shot down.

At that point, online streaming wasn't very developed yet.

Starting an account isn't that easy either.

Lu Jingqing surely won't take her advice—he might even think it's crazy, just like Secretary Li.

After thinking it over, Su Yun Jiao decided to shelve the idea for now.

We'll discuss it later.

At that moment, Su Yun Jiao pulled out her phone.

A message from Lu Chi appeared on her screen.

Lu Chi: "Where are you?"

Su Yun Jiao opened the chat with Lu Chi.

Above were the messages Lu Chi had sent her earlier.

There were roughly thirty‑plus messages.

Because she set up a do-not-disturb for Lu Chi.

So she basically didn't look at them, and she didn't reply to any of those messages.

The last time Lu Chi sent her a message was already several days ago.

Su Yun Jiao was about to turn off her phone, but Lu Chi sent her a message: "I know Qin Xue did it on purpose; I have something I want to discuss with you."

Su Yun Jiao frowned.

Since Lu Chi already knows Qin Xue did it on purpose?

Then what's the point of looking for her?
