A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 359 Take it all

While Lu Congyue's words aroused curiosity and interest, the police were too busy to concern themselves with personal family matters.

We're all family. What's wrong with the grandfather and uncle bringing the child home to spend a couple of days with him?

The police still believe that mediation should be the primary approach.

Lu Congyue sneered, "I have no family ties with them whatsoever. Why would they want to be with my child? I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye, and I even suspect they deliberately took my child away to abuse him. I need the police to come and rescue my child immediately. If anything happens to my child because of your inaction, I will hold you accountable!"

His tone was stern and his expression serious, which finally made the police officer who was receiving him take him seriously.

"Alright, I'll go with you to check on the child first."

Lu Congyue asked him to call another colleague so the three of them could go together.

Upon entering the military compound, the guard learned they were heading to the Lu family's residence. His lips twitched, and he whispered, "Has Lu Guoqiang gotten into trouble again? Didn't he just get back..."

"It's something else," the police officer replied, knowing that the man named Lu Guoqiang was no good; he was a troublemaker so often that even the security guard at the gate knew about him.

It is clear that even among children from military compounds, there are good and bad, and Lu Guoqiang is a bad one.

The three of them hurried toward the Lu family's house, but halfway there they bumped into Guan Jing.

"From Yue?" Guan Jing exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the two uniformed police officers beside Lu Congyue, his expression changed drastically. Forcing a smile, he asked, "Are these two your friends?"

The police officer looked at Lu Congyue.

Lu Congyue ignored him and said only, "We'll be there soon, let's hurry up and go."

"Congyue, are you bringing a friend home? Um, well... your dad went to work and hasn't come back yet. Do you want to wait a bit...?"

Guan Jing's incoherent speech drew strange looks from the two police officers.

Lu Congyue's face grew increasingly gloomy. What was she afraid they would see if they arrived now?

Thinking of Xiao Chenglin, Lu Congyue's heart tightened, and he urged, "Ignore her, hurry up and go!"

The stern tone made the two police officers realize that something had happened, and they quickened their pace.

Guan Jing suddenly started running, and Lu Congyue shouted sternly, "Grab her! Don't let her tip off anyone!"

A police officer immediately stepped forward and restrained Guan Jing.

Guan Jing was both anxious and angry, struggling as she said, "Cong Yue, what are you doing? I'm just in a hurry to get home to boil water and make tea to entertain you. Why are you having me restrained? I'm your elder, how can you let someone treat me like this?"

As she got closer to home, Guan Jing raised her voice.

Lu Congyue: "Shut her up!"

Guan Jing became even more anxious after her mouth was gagged, and kept making "woo-woo" sounds.

Along with the "whimpering" sounds, there were also faint sounds of a child crying.

Lu Congyue paused, looked at the Lu family's gate, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

As they approached the gate, the two police officers also heard the child crying, and their expressions changed slightly.

Lu Congyue reached out to Guan Jing: "The key!"

How could Guan Jing possibly hand over the keys?

As long as they don't go in, there's room for maneuver.

Lu Congyue sneered, took two steps back, ran up, and then nimbly vaulted over the wall.

Everyone was stunned.

The next second, the door opened, and Lu Congyue gestured for them to come in.

The child's cries grew louder, mixed with the man's frustrated roars.

Lu Congyue's face was icy cold, while Guan Jing looked terrified. The two police officers released Guan Jing and rushed into the room from which the sound came.

The door was kicked open, and everyone saw an adult male beating a child.

The child was only a little over a year old, tiny and curled up in the corner, crying uncontrollably. Every time he cried, the man would flick the child's bottom with a small bamboo stick, causing the child to twitch in pain and cry even harder.

"Cry! Still crying! Haven't you cried enough?! You're so annoying, I'll kill you if you cry again!"

"Stop!" a police officer roared, rushing over to restrain Lu Guo.

Lu Congyue rushed over and picked up the child with slightly red eyes.

"Chenglin, Chenglin..."

"Dad..." The child burst into tears upon seeing Lu Congyue, calling out to his father in a childish, hoarse voice.

Children don't know many words; besides "daddy," they can only call out "mommy."

Lu Congyue held his child, whom he had lost and found, tightly, his fiery gaze fixed on Lu Guoqiang, filled with murderous intent.

Even the police officers noticed and advised him to calm down.

Lu Guoqiang angrily shouted, "Let me go! What are you doing? I haven't broken the law, what right do you have to arrest me?"

"That's right, why did you break into my house and arrest my son? We haven't broken any laws!" Guan Jing shouted.

"You're suspected of child abduction, and you still say you haven't broken the law?!" a police officer couldn't help but shout angrily.

Guan Jing's eyes flickered as she glanced at Lu Congyue and Xiao Chenglin, then retorted defiantly, "What do you mean by child abduction? We're family, this is a family matter. We can handle it ourselves behind closed doors. Besides, we're just bringing the kids here for a few days, what's the problem?"

"Take the matter to the police station if you have any problems," Lu Congyue said coldly. "Otherwise, take it to court, and I'll see you through to the end!"

After Lu Congyue finished speaking, he asked the police officers to take both of them back to the police station.

They took the child away without informing the family and abused the child. The evidence is conclusive. If they don't bring these two people back for a thorough investigation, Lu Congyue said he would sue the police station as well, and pursue the case to the end!

Soon, the people in the compound saw Guan Jing and Lu Guoqiang being escorted out by two police officers, followed by Lu Sheng's eldest son, Lu Congyue, who hadn't returned for a long time.

"Huh? Isn't Lu Congyue holding Lu Sheng's precious grandson whom he just found? Why is he holding him?"

"Has Lu Guoqiang gotten himself into trouble again?"

"Lu Sheng is about to retire, and the organization is even going to have a talk with him, but this kid is really a handful..."

What Guan Jing had been trying so hard to hide was actually an open secret in the compound.

Lu Guoqiang's reputation has long been ruined.

Although everyone doesn't say anything on the surface, they all know what kind of person he is.

Guan Jing's face flushed red. Since marrying Lu Sheng, although she wouldn't say she's lived a life of luxury, she's never suffered any hardship and is always fawned over when she goes out.

Now that people are pointing fingers at her, she hates Lu Congyue so much that she wants to tear him to pieces.

What puzzled her even more was why Lu Congyue had come so quickly. Could it be that the person who handled the matter had left some clues?

If Guan Jing knew that this whole thing was exposed because Lu Sheng got carried away and bragged to Shang Jianjun about having a grandson, she'd probably be disgusted.

The group left the compound under the watchful eyes of the crowd. As soon as they returned to the Public Security Bureau, a military jeep stopped at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.

Lu Sheng got out of the car looking energetic and strode into the hall accompanied by his bodyguards, his face barely concealing his anger.
