Chapter 78: Police Station Questioning

"Hello."

After Lu Chen had a brief exchange with the person on the other end of the phone.

He then furrowed his brows.

Go to the Police Station tomorrow.

Picking up the phone again and exchanging words with Professor Li for a while, Lu Chen finally felt at ease.

"Steward Wang, prepare all the documents for Liu Xiaofeng from his employment to his resignation; we need to go to the Police Station tomorrow."

Early morning. This book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Novel, tt k. tw, which is super convenient, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience.

Lu Chen tidied himself up and did not stay long at the Zhuangyuan, instead heading to Professor Li's Zhuangyuan together with Steward Wang.

"Uncle Li, I am truly sorry for causing you trouble."

Lu Chen bowed slightly toward Professor Li.

"What trouble? Xiaofeng is my student, too."

Professor Li sighed slightly.

He took the documents Lu Chen handed over and began to flip through them.

"The cut is very clean; the authorities cannot get a handle on you."

After Professor Li slowly flipped through the documents for a while, he finally looked up.

He gave Lu Chen a deep look.

"When this incident happened, Xiaofeng was abroad, and you were also unaware of the situation; it seems this matter was not done by you."

Professor Li stood up and put on his coat.

"Let's go. This old fellow will accompany you on a trip. You did well regarding Xiaofeng's matter; I also didn't expect those people to be so insane."

"You are going to a lot of trouble."

Lu Chen accompanied Professor Li, speaking softly.

"Please represent me in donating 1 million Hong Kong dollars and 10 police cars to the Xianggang police. Public safety is a matter that every one of our citizens should care about."

The corners of Professor Li's mouth lifted slightly, and he nodded gently.

Getting into the car.

Today, Victoria Harbour was slightly quieter than usual.

However, the pedestrians on the street were still bustling.

After Lu Chen helped Professor Li out of the car, he nodded slightly and walked straight into the Police Station.

"Hello, I am Lu Sanbao. Which officer called me to come for questioning yesterday?"

Lu Chen greeted them politely.

He looked back and nodded slightly at Professor Li, who had just walked in.

Only then did he follow the officer into the interrogation room.

"I am Senior Inspector Yang Zhengqun; you can call me Officer Yang."

Two middle-aged men in uniforms walked in and nodded slightly toward Lu Chen.

They sat directly opposite Lu Chen and put down the documents in their hands.

They looked up at Lu Chen.

"I will now proceed to question you regarding the attack at the Hong Kong Advanced Hospital that occurred a few days ago."

Yang Zhengqun nodded to the officer beside him before looking at Lu Chen again.

"Officer Yang, you seem to have asked the wrong person. First of all, have you already confirmed that I am a suspect?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"The call I received yesterday requested that I come over to assist with the investigation, not to be investigated. This is inconsistent with the investigation you mentioned."

Lu Chen paused, and regardless of Yang Zhengqun's expression, he continued.

"My lawyer, Professor Li, is right in your bureau chief's office. If your questioning is like this, I refuse to answer any questions. Wait until my lawyer arrives, and he will answer on my behalf."

"Mr. Lu, we have not designated you as a suspect; you are merely fulfilling your obligation to assist in the investigation."

Yang Zhengqun gave Lu Chen a deep look and made a gesture.

The officer beside him then began to record.

"Then, regarding this matter, what is Mr. Lu's view?"

"Hmm? Does Officer Yang mean the attack at the Hong Kong Advanced Hospital?"

Lu Chen looked at Yang Zhengqun with a puzzled expression, rolled his eyes slightly upward, and then spoke.

"A friend mentioned this to me yesterday, and that was when I found out that such a major public safety incident had actually occurred in our Xianggang! I am truly worried about the public order in our Xianggang."

As Lu Chen spoke, he became more and more relaxed.

"If your bureau is short on funds, I can personally sponsor your bureau with 10 police cars and 1 million Hong Kong dollars in funding. My lawyer has surely already placed the proposal on your bureau chief's desk by now."

Lu Chen clasped his hands together and placed them on the table, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you for your generosity. On behalf of the Police Station, I thank you for your donation."

Yang Zhengqun was slightly stunned, a smile appearing on his face.

"However, I heard that your employee Liu Xiaofeng's mother is receiving treatment at the Hong Kong Advanced Hospital. Is this true?"

"Officer Yang, you can look at Liu Xiaofeng's documents before asking."

Lu Chen reached out and pointed at the document bag sealed with a Wax Seal.

He stopped talking.

Yang Zhengqun paused slightly, opened the document bag, and quickly flipped through it.

"The documents provided by Mr. Lu are perfect, but I personally have a doubt. I wonder if you could help me resolve it?"

After a long while, Yang Zhengqun finally raised his head, a trace of doubt on his face and a flash of sharp light in his eyes.

"Logically speaking, it is unlikely for the mother of a bodyguard at Liu Xiaofeng's level to receive your financial aid, and even more impossible for you to send her to Piaoliang Guo for treatment... So, is there some unspeakable secret between you two?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer that question, Officer Yang; Liu Xiaofeng is not only my bodyguard, but also Professor Li's student."

Lu Chen stared into Yang Zhengqun's eyes, showing no intention of looking away.

He said, enunciating every word clearly.

"He has taken a bullet for me and saved my life; it is only reasonable and right for me to care about his mother's condition. As for going to Piaoliang Guo, he was simply there on a business trip. Is there a problem with that?"

"Flawless. Then, Mr. Lu, who do you think would do such a thing?"

Yang Zhengqun frowned, though the smile remained on his face, his tone becoming increasingly gentle.

It was as if he were chatting with an old friend.

"I wouldn't know; I'm not a terrorist."

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, a flash of impatience appearing in his eyes.

"Why doesn't Officer Yang look into who gained the most from this incident? My company has even been at a standstill because of it recently."

Yang Zhengqun chatted with Lu Chen for a while longer, and there were indeed quite a few traps hidden within.

It was not until Professor Li knocked on the door of the interrogation room that Yang Zhengqun stopped his questioning.

"Officer Yang, excuse me, but questioning my client without permission—is that not against the rules?"

Professor Li glanced at Lu Chen and frowned.

"Please provide me with a copy of the transcript and the recording. If there was any attempt to induce my client into saying anything unfavorable to him, then..."

Professor Li gave Yang Zhengqun a deep look.

He then continued.

"Little Lu, Bureau Chief Zhang invites you to his office for a chat; he is quite interested in your proposal."

Lu Chen stood up and nodded slightly toward Yang Zhengqun.

"It was quite pleasant chatting with you, Officer Yang, though there were a few too many pits, which made it a bit of a brain-burner for me."

He stood up and walked out.

Only then did Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief.

"Little Lu, Bureau Chief Zhang's demand is double; I neither agreed nor refused, so you'll have to negotiate that with him yourself."

Professor Li said this quickly before handing Lu Chen over to the officer who had come to guide him.
