Little Terrified Bun

Different from the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere in the hospital, the Lu family was going through a catastrophe.

Grandpa Lu was the person who held the most power.
He currently held onto a red wood cane, appearing composed and radiating dignity.
With an aggressive look, he commented, “Who told you guys to interfere with the Wei family’s affairs? Are you satisfied with how it turned out?”

“Father, how could we know that it would end up like this? That damned Wei Zhe just left us like that.
Didn’t the younger sister-in-law bear him a son? How could he be so heartless?” To the side, a thirty-ish woman with crows feet was crying pitifully, appearing wan..

“Wei He was a mere illegitimate child, but he was able to overthrow his siblings.
How could he be the head of the household if he wasn’t cruel enough?” Grandpa Lu knocked his cane against the ground a few times, wanting to drag his disappointing son out to beat him up.

The Lu family was in decline, or else they wouldn’t have given their daughter, who was as pretty as flowers, to Wei He as his concubine just to plead for support.

Not long ago, their plan to kill Wei Zhe was exposed and his daughter was put into prison, which caused their family’s credibility with Wei He to plunge.
Now that this incident happened, he wasn’t planning to let the Lu family survive!

“Father, what should we do now? Fang Da was captured by the police; we need to think of a solution to get him out.
Father, without Fang Da, how can I continue to live on with my son!!!” The woman patted her chest with her eyes filled with sorrow.

“Alright alright, I will think of a way.” Grandpa Lu waved his hands impatiently.
“Leave now, don’t irritate my eyes any longer.”

Upon hearing the elder’s response, the woman showed signs of happiness.
“Ei”, she made a soft acknowledgement and exited stealthily.

Afterall, her husband stayed with Grandpa Lu since he was young and they had developed an incomparably deep connection.

The room was dead silent.
A cold wind flew into the lobby through the open window, bringing chillness to the person inside.
Grandpa Lu had been sitting for a while.
His straight back became hunched, his face looked older, and his eyes looked troubled.
He was elderly, seventy-ish, nearing death.

“Hi, is this Commissioner Liu? Hello hello, I’m calling you today for my disappointing son.
Can you please make some accommodations? I still have a few bottles of superior red wine, I’ll deliver it to you……”

“Grandpa Lu, what are you saying? As a party member, it’s my obligation to serve citizens according to the law, no accommodations should be made…” the other person said in a righteous tone.

“Commissioner Liu…”

Not waiting for Grandpa Lu to finish, the other person interrupted, “I’m really sorry, I still have some things to do here.
Let’s reconnect some other time, some other time…”

Du du du sounded from the other side of the phone.
Grandpa Lu froze, having a bad premonition.
Gritting his teeth, he made a few more calls; the ones with good attitude made perfunctory replies while the ones with bad attitude simply didn’t answer the call at all.

This time, just before the other side was about to hang up the phone, Grandpa Lu immediately stopped him, “Hold on, I just want to ask, who’s….?” He asked euphemistically.

Silence.
The other person was hesitating.

Upon acknowledging the situation, Grandpa Lu gritted his teeth and followed up, “Even if I’m going to die, let me die knowing the truth.”

“I’m also not very clear.
It seems like it is the Wei family and the Ye family.
Both of them pressured us, and the top officials announced it long before.
I’m sorry…” As he finished his sentence, he quickly hung up the phone, as if he was scared that he would be mistakenly thought of as interfering with the Lu family.

The Lu family had meager power.
It couldn’t even suppress the Wei’s family, not even mentioning that the Ye family who was only slightly under the Wei family was also involved.
