Part Two The Big Sugar of the East Chapter 37: Investigation

en more in the competition. She wanted to create an image of optimism and perseverance for the children that would last forever.At this time, the noisy sports field had quieted down. Everyone's eyes t...Song Jingye was meticulous and decisive in his actions. After gathering irrefutable evidence, he apprehended Wang Binghai with overwhelming force.

Wang Binghai's Senbing Industrial Group was managed by a large portion of executives who simultaneously held important positions in the military and were his close confidants. His arrest is a major event, as it could potentially cause internal unrest, so this operation was organized secretly by Song Jingye's side.

When being interrogated, Wang Binghai remained remarkably calm and composed, appearing as if he were holding a meeting in his own office. He scoffed at all the evidence presented by Song Jingye and denied everything outright.

He only said, "I want to see Master Lu."

Song Jing was startled by Wang Binghai's ambition. As predicted before, Wang Binghai had to pull Gu Ruandong down in order to protect himself. In this way, Master Lu would definitely not abandon Gu Ruandong.

But Song Jingye didn't want the old man to get involved in this mess, and he couldn't possibly agree to Wang Binghai's request to have the old man come.

Wang Binghai remained calm: "It's fine if the old man doesn't come. I see Gu Ruandong is just the same." He flipped through all the materials on the table before him and sneered, "Little Song, the materials in my hands are better than yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone entered the interrogation room and whispered two sentences in Song Jingye's ear. Song Jingye's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Wang Binghai, then left the interrogation room.

When

"Just now, someone reported Gu Ruandong suspected of bribing Senbing Group. Because it involves Wang Binghai, we've covered it up for now and haven't submitted it to the procuratorate. We're waiting for your instructions on how to handle it. But we can't keep it quiet for long." The person handed a stack of documents to Song Jingye.

Song Jingye glanced down. The information about Gu Ruandong was very detailed, obviously Wang Binghai had come prepared and sent someone to deliver it.

Back in the interrogation room, Wang Binghai looked calm and collected, as if he had everything under control.

Master Lu used to be in charge of them, and even now that he has stepped down, the heads of each department still fear him. Not to mention his eldest son, who is still in office.

In Wang Binghai's view, it was a simple matter for the old man to protect someone.

Regarding Gu Ruandong, Song Jingye had to call the old man to report.

As the old man had already learned the ins and outs of the situation from Gu Rushan, he spoke seriously.

"The clear will clarify themselves. You can investigate however you like."

Used to the wind and rain, these are small things. He is also confident in Gu Ruandong, he can get through it.

As for Gu Ruandong, he had anticipated this day ever since deciding to collaborate with Song Jingye. It was right of the elder to stay out of it. Not involving the Lu family was his bottom line, so he cooperated fully with the investigation.

He didn't want to tell YaoYao about this, but he wasn't sure how long the investigation would take, when he could return, and obviously, he couldn't keep it a secret.

Lu Yaoyao's upbringing made her more sensitive to this matter than others, and she knew more clearly the seriousness of being investigated, which could be major or minor.

So, upon hearing Gu Ruandong's words, she was a little flustered, her face paling. She forced herself to remain calm and asked.

"How serious is it"

Gu Ruandong hugged her, very calmly:

"It's fine, just cooperate with the investigation and I'll be back soon."

"Yaoyao, believe me!"

This was a step he had to take towards a new beginning, he tried his best to avoid it, but couldn't.

Lu Yaoyao nodded, trying hard to calm herself down and not worry him. She took a sniffle in his arms and said, "I believe you're innocent. Wait for me to come back."

The investigation into Gu Ruandong was kept confidential and wasn't told to anyone, not even Lu Kuo.

He had made arrangements for the operations of the Gu Group in advance, so they continued to run smoothly and were unaffected.

Lu Yaoyao sat and fidgeted restlessly. After waiting at home for two days, she couldn't take it anymore. She called Song Jingye, wanting to inquire about the situation, but Song Jingye kept his words vague, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I can't disclose anything."

"You just need to tell me when he's likely to be back."

"I'm sorry." Song Jingye flipped back and forth, only these two words, with an impassive face.

Song Jingye was more direct. He simply put the phone aside and ignored her, getting on with his own business.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Yaoyao realized he wouldn't tell her anything. Angry, she hung up the phone and immediately booked a ticket back to Beijing to find her grandfather.

Grandfather is her pillar of strength and support in life. No matter how turbulent the outside world may be, there is always this safe haven for her.

She returned to Beijing without a word, only staring at her grandfather with tear-filled eyes. Her grandfather couldn't bear to see her unhappy; he always gave her whatever she wanted, from stars to the moon, especially when she was so sad now.

But when it came to Gu Ruandong's affair, he couldn't interfere. If he did, the situation would change drastically. So, with a stern face, he solemnly said: "Even going to grandpa won't help. Just go back and wait obediently. If he's innocent, he'll be released soon enough."

Lu Yaoyao cried: "Who else can I find besides my grandfather I just want to know if he's doing well in there, if he's being beaten, and when he'll be able to come out. Grandpa, please ask for me."

Yes, she couldn't hold it in any longer. Gu Ruandong had been taken away for almost three days, and there was no news at all. She couldn't tell anyone, she could only keep it to herself. The only person she could turn to was her grandfather. This was the first time she had ever asked her grandfather for help with a serious matter.

The old man sighed, he had never been afraid of anyone in his life, except her. He glared at her and then went back to his study.

I still can't let go. I called Song Jingye to find out what happened.

Song Jingye responded quickly. Usually a steady person, his voice was slightly hurried at the moment:

"Lu Lao, I was just about to call you. Gu Ruandong has been taken to the northwest by Li Si for investigation."

"What does that mean" The old man's expression hardened. Gu Ruandong had always been investigated by Song Jingye, what was Li Si doing butting in

Song Jingye: "It's a long story. This time, I was sent to Senzhou to investigate the Senbing Group. Li Si wasn't happy about it, but he couldn't disobey my father. This time, investigating Gu Ruandong, he somehow heard rumors that Gu Ruandong was suspected of engaging in illegal activities within his jurisdiction and took him away in the middle of the night."

Li Si and his father were both old comrades of the old man, but the old man favored his father, so Li Si has always been resentful towards him. This time, he wants to take advantage of Gu Ruandong's affair to make a fuss.

"Nonsense!" The old man immediately flew into a rage, hung up Song Jingye's phone, and called Li Si right away. His voice was stern as he commanded, "Immediately release him."

Anyone who wants to do something to him needs to ask him first if he agrees.

Li Si clearly came prepared: "Lao Lu, it's not that I won't let him go. There's a complaint letter sent to me, so I have to take him back for investigation as usual."

"It's none of your business to investigate. Release him at once." The old man's voice was booming, and when he was angry, it was truly intimidating.12 pm every day.
