Chapter 719 Some things can't be resolved by simply avoiding trouble.
"As expected, it's impossible for just one person to be sick; if the old ones are so despicable, how can the young ones be any better!"
Ge Shaoting laughed in anger. So he had to play the good guy and cooperate with these people?
His smile, coupled with his oppressive aura, sent chills down Lu Shengying's spine, as if this man could suddenly attack and hurt her at any moment.
He cautiously moved closer to his father, his bravado masking his inner weakness as he continued to bluff, "What are you laughing at!"
Lu Zhaolin wasn't particularly burly, and he was also afraid. He glanced at Zhou Yichen, who had remained silent throughout, and said with displeasure:
"Xiao Zhou, you should do something about this. We didn't mean any harm."
Zhou Yichen looked at this person, then at that person, his expressionless face somehow conveying a hint of innocence. "Freedom of speech is a right granted to every citizen by the country. I can't just arrest people because their words are a little too extreme, can I?"
"Exactly, and he's not the only one who speaks rudely. Aren't you guys pretty impolite too?"
Chu Xin smiled and replied, then glanced at Lu Zhaolin as if he were an idiot, "And also, old comrade, you've asked the wrong person for help. Even if it's a civil dispute, you should go to the police."
If Zhou Yichen were to actually invite all of these people to the Special Branch for a visit, it would scare them to death.
Lu Shengying couldn't hold back any longer, "You..."
"shut up!"
Lu Zhaolin dared not let him speak again, lest they really start a fight.
It was impossible for him to force a smile at this point. He turned to look at Gu Beizhan, who had been standing at the very front of him, and Lu Zhaolin's eyelids twitched violently.
He had always thought Gu Beizhan was a fool, simple and easy to fool, but he never expected that he would become the fool's human shield today.
He gritted his teeth, trying to keep his tone from being harsh, "Brother Gu, I really can't help you with your family matters. You know I genuinely want what's best for you, but this..."
"Sigh, it's all my fault for being incompetent and letting you down. You have every right to blame me, since you trusted me so much."
The strong aroma of green tea, reminiscent of old pumpkin stubble giving birth to tender melons, immediately made Madam Lu, who had rushed over with Lu Jianshe, feel physically disgusted and nauseous.
While inwardly grumbling that it was a shame Ge Shaoting hadn't slapped the father and son across the face, she asked Lu Jianshe, "Old Lu, do you think what you're saying makes sense?"
Lu Jianshe...
Something felt off. Why hadn't he felt this way before when Zhaolin spoke to him in this tone?
Is it because they are in the midst of it and cannot see through it?
Regardless of whether he answered or not, Madam Lu continued, "I think that's all they are. They won't cause much trouble. Just watch and don't get involved. We'd better not provoke those Special Branch people."
"Our daughter's been badly tempered and disobedient because of her association with Lu Shengying. She's already had disagreements with the Special Branch because of it. You can't let her fall into the same trap."
She said these things to tell Lu Jianshe that there should be limits to spoiling his younger brother, and that he shouldn't shield him from everything, especially since he clearly brought this upon himself.
It's not worth it for him to have a conflict with the Special Branch.
Little did she know that the conflict had been brewing for a long time, and Lu Jianshe had already gone to extremes on his own without anyone else's knowledge.
Lu Jianshe stared at Zhou Yichen and Chu Xin with a dark and ambiguous look in his eyes, and muttered indistinctly, "Wife, some things can't be resolved by not causing trouble."
"what?"
Mrs. Lu did not hear clearly.
Lu Jianshe stopped speaking, because Zhou Yichen was already looking at him.
