Chapter 729: Arrest Her! The President of The Lawyers’ Association’s Signature
Department Chief Zhao asked, “Minister, what crime did this person commit?” The police had to have a good cause for arresting someone.
Second Old Master Lu answered, “Deliberately causing serious physical harm to someone.”
Department Chief Zhao was stunned. He did not expect Second Old Master Lu to call him personally over such a trivial matter. “Who’s the victim?”
Second Old Master Lu said, “That girl from the Sang family, Sang Xue.”
“What? Sang Xue?” Department Chief Zhao raised his pitch slightly.
Hearing his tone, Second Old Master Lu’s sharp eyes narrowed. “What’s wrong with Sang Xue?”
On the other end, Department Chief Zhao, who had answered a call from the police station a minute ago, was sitting in his study in his pajamas.
After hearing what Second Old Master Lu had said, he swallowed and said, “Just now, people from Red Scorpion dropped by the police station and left a person with us, asking us to arrest her. The name they gave us was Sang Xue.”
He had found out about this just before he answered Second Old Master Lu’s call. To the Lu family, the Sang family was not worth mentioning, so he did not take this matter seriously. He did not expect the Lu family to stand up for the Sang family.
Second Old Master Lu frowned and sat up straight. “Sang Xue is at the police station?”
So she had not been brought back to the Red Scorpion headquarters after all…
What Second Old Master Lu did not know was that Sang Xue was not worth bringing to Red Scorpion’s prison in Lu Wu’s eyes. Even if Gu Mang wanted to use Sang Xue to serve as a warning to everyone, she wouldn’t let Red Scorpion punish her.
Department Chief Zhao answered, “They brought her in not too long ago. She is lying unconscious in a detention cell. Red Scorpion told us not to render any treatment.”
Red Scorpion said that they would take responsibility if she died. They were extremely arrogant.
Second Old Master Lu asked, “Are her injuries severe?”
Department Chief Zhao recalled what the person on shift had told him as he replied, “Yes, very severe.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Why are you not arresting the perpetrator?” Second Old Master Lu asked in a relaxed manner. “In the capital, no one has ever hurt another person so brazenly and gotten away with it!”
Department Chief Zhao said carefully, “But Sang Xue was sent over by Red Scorpion.”
Having experienced many things in his years of work, he roughly guessed what was happening in a few seconds. There must have been some disagreement within the Lu family and Second Old Master Lu was on the Sang family’s side.
The person from Red Scorpion who sent her over was Mr. Lu Wu. Needless to say, Young Master Lu was the one who gave the order.
Gu Mang had hit Sang Xue, and Red Scorpion had left Sang Xue at the police station. Obviously, Sang Xue had provoked Gu Mang.
Gu Mang was probably planning to go down the lawful route, so she sent the girl to the police station to be detained.
“Are you really listening to Red Scorpion?” Second Old Master Lu asked, incredulous. “Are you forgetting who your superior is?”
Department Chief Zhao’s heart jumped. He sounded petrified. “It’s you, of course.”
Second Old Master Lu laughed. “We have conclusive evidence. Sang Xue is severely injured. Do I have to tell you what to do next?”
“No,” Department Chief Zhao said politely. “I will issue an arrest warrant now.”
The people who held the greatest power in the Lu family were from the main and second families. If the two families were clashing, Department Chief Zhao would have to choose sides.
Second Old Master Lu said, “The Sang family will be fetching Sang Xue later. Inform your men.”
Department Chief Zhao answered, “Yes.”

Three black and low-profile sedans drove to the hospital. Jiangsui and Elder Bai got out of the car.
Elder Bai was the President of the International Lawyers’ Association and chief judge for the International Mock Trial Competition.
Elder Bai walked over to Jiangsui and looked at the bag in Jiangsui’s hand. “Why does the young lady want me to sign a cup suddenly?”
Jiangsui had found the hotel he was staying in at midnight and asked for his signature. He was scared that something would happen so he followed him here.
“I don’t know either.” Jiangsui shook his head. After recalling the conversation he had with Gu Mang just now, he added, “But Sister Gu Mang flared up really seriously today.”
“Flared up?” Elder Bai broke out into a cold sweat. If she flared up, blood would certainly have been spilled.
Jiangsui leaned to the side and glanced at the group of subordinates who had also come with them. “Better be tactful.”
The rest of them said anxiously in unison, “Yes.”
