“Dad.”
“Don’t worry. It’s nothing much. We’re just going to take a statement,” Lu Zishan said casually.
But since they were already at the point of having to deal with it at the police station, there had to be more to it than just a statement.
Lu Manman tried to calm herself down. “Dad, we’ll be there soon.”
“Mm-hm.” Lu Zishan and the police left.
After they left, many employees in the lobby looked around again as if they were there to watch a good show.
Lu Manman’s expression tightened. “Do your part, and don’t say what you shouldn’t say. The Lu Firm isn’t a place you can just come and go as you wish!”
The staff was shocked and hurriedly left.
Lu Manman turned around and said to Qin Ao, “Go get the car.”
“Yes.”
The two of them quickly got into the car.
Lu Manman picked up her cell phone and made a call. “Hello, Lawyer Wu. I’m Lu Manman.”
“Hello, Miss Lu.”
“My dad is at the police station now, but I’m not too sure about the details. My dad wants me to give you a call and go to the police station with you.”
“I’m at the law firm now.”
“I’ll be there in ten minutes. I’ll see you downstairs.”
“Alright.”
Lu Manman hung up with a gloomy expression.
It was very quiet in the car, and they arrived at their destination very soon. Lawyer Wu Jun was already waiting by the side of the road. When he saw the car arrive, he hurriedly got into the car and sat beside Lu Manman. He said, “I’ve just asked around about Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu was investigated for bribery in the business sector.”
“Bribery?”
“It’s not just a normal bribe,” Wu Jun said slowly. “I heard that the deputy director of Wen City’s Planning Bureau was investigated and they found out about 30,000,000 yuan worth of bribery. The largest briber is the Lu Firm, and their accounts show that they have more than 8,000,000 yuan. Moreover, the VIP guests’ clubhouse that was built on a piece of land that the Lu Firm bought in Northgate Town last year was under investigation. In other words, the transaction price of 200,000,000 yuan was eventually settled at 160,000,000 yuan, and the remaining 40,000,000 yuan was carried out in private, resulting in the 40,000,000 yuan transaction fee not being paid to the country. This portion of the tax was paid to the deputy director of the Planning Bureau by both parties. Miss Lu, our country’s policy is especially harsh on tax evasion, and this is a commercial crime that our legal industry has never been willing to accept. Mr. Lu’s case is very vicious.”
Lu Manman bit her lip.
Business bribery and tax evasion!
It was indeed a vicious move.
She had to admit that Wen Yun had taken a good step against her.
He could use the deputy chief of the Planning Bureau’s investigation as an excuse to infiltrate the Lu Firm and take her father away with justifiable reasons. He could even deliberately stir up trouble in the company! For example, there was no need for the Public Security Bureau to bring her father away directly from the Lu Firm. They could simply summon him to the police station in secret. Also, there was no need for so many high-level executives and board members to speak to him. But now, everyone would know about it, and rumors would fly!
In this way, she could not accuse the Wen family of taking advantage of their official rights. Instead, she had to tolerate being embarrassed by them.
Moreover, Wen Yun could use her father to threaten her, and she might do some extreme things to protect his father, such as backing out of Mo Yuanxiu’s marriage.
Lu Manman clenched her jaw.
The move the Wen family members came up with this time was much more brilliant than the way he had hired someone to assassinate her or deliberately cause some trouble for them. Even if they did not achieve their goals in the end, they would not be implicated. Moreover, the success rate was extremely high this time.
