Meng Jinyang’s injury was not as bad as Sang Xue’s, but because she had a blood clotting disorder and a brain injury, it could definitely not be discounted as a minor injury either.

  At the very least, if Jiang Shenyuan refused to settle with compensation and insisted on filing a lawsuit, Sang Xue would not be exempted from punishment either.

  When Mr. Sang saw that the lawyer was not speaking, he turned to look at the eye injury report and he frowned.

  Just then, there were two knocks on the office door.

  Department Chief Zhao and the others looked over. They saw Second Old Master Lu and the butler enter from outside.

  Department Chief Zhao stood up immediately. “Minister.”


  Second Old Master Lu nodded and turned to Lu Chengzhou. He smiled. “Oh, Chengzhou is here as well. It’s just a small matter and yet you had to return from Research Center No. 14 to handle it? If you need help, just tell me. It is so troublesome for you to come to and fro.”


  Lu Chengzhou looked calm and distant. “Such a small matter, but aren’t you here too, Second Uncle?”


  “Gu Mang is the granddaughter-in-law that Granny Lu acknowledged. She is already considered a part of the Lu family. How could I not come when someone in my family has an issue?” Second Old Master Lu walked over with a smile and sat on the sofa.

  The butler stood beside him respectfully.

  Department Chief Zhao poured Second Old Master Lu a cup of tea respectfully.

  “Tell me, what’s the problem exactly?” Second Old Master Lu looked at Mr. Sang.

  Mr. Sang told him everything.

  Second Old Master Lu nodded. “The two ladies are in the hospital now and their injuries aren’t minor.”


  “Yes.” Mr. Sang turned it around. “Who knew that Meng Jinyang had a blood clotting disorder? Maybe she ran into the bed on purpose.”


  Jiang Shenyuan pursed his lips. His eyes were cold and focused. Gu Mang looked up and glared at Mr. Sang. She stared at him as if she were staring at a dead person.

  Second Old Master Lu turned to Gu Mang. In a cordial tone, he said, “Gu Mang, I’ll give you a chance. Apologize to them and compensate. As for the rest, I’ll speak to the Sang family.”


  When Lu Chengzhou heard this, he frowned and looked up at Second Old Master Lu.

  Gu Mang smirked and crossed her legs. In a lazy and slow tone, she said, “Are you trying to disgust me?”


  No one knew if she meant that Second Old Master Lu was disgusting or if she was referring to the apology and compensation.

  Second Old Master Lu’s face became sullen immediately.

  For a moment, the office fell into an odd silence.

  Even Mr. Sang and Department Chief Zhao did not dare to speak again. However, deep down, they were sure that Gu Mang was dead meat.

  After a while, Second Old Master Lu squinted and looked at Gu Mang. “So you mean to say that you don’t want to settle this issue in private and you want it to go public?”


  The girl smiled slightly. “I don’t like multiple-choice questions. Why not both?”


  Second Old Master Lu always knew that Lu Chengzhou was a defiant person. He did not expect Gu Mang to be even more annoying than Lu Chengzhou.

  He laughed. “Sure, why not? I want to see how you will take responsibility for your actions.

  Gu Mang wrapped her fingers around the strap of her baseball cap and glanced at the time on her mechanical watch.

  Second Old Master Lu turned to Department Chief Zhao. “We will compensate the two cases separately. Detain Gu Mang first. After Sang Xue wakes up, bring her over to the police station.”


  “Second Old Master Lu.” Mr. Sang panicked immediately.

  Second Old Master Lu looked at him calmly. “I have spoken. When Sang Xue wakes up, bring her to the police station.”


  Mr. Sang was stunned. Then, he finally understood. If Sang Xue stayed in the hospital, she would not have to be detained.

  Second Old Master Lu would deal with Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou.

  Mr. Sang sighed in relief and said righteously, “I did not know that Sang Xue had beaten someone up previously. Now that I know she is in the wrong, we should take responsibility.”


  Department Chief Zhao nodded. “Is Sang Xue going to file a lawsuit for intentional harm?”


  Mr. Sang’s lawyer answered, “Yes.”


  Second Old Master Lu turned to look at Lu Chengzhou. In a cordial and caring tone, he said, “Chengzhou, are you just going to watch Gu Mang get charged for intentional injury? What Gu Mang did was so severe that once the court decides, the minimum sentence she will receive is three years.”


  The corner of Lu Chengzhou’s lips curled up. He answered in a rather uncaring tone, “Is that so?”


  Second Old Master Lu did not expect him to be so indifferent. He had thought that Lu Chengzhou valued Gu Mang. Second Old Master Lu snorted inwardly.

  Department Chief Zhao looked at Jiang Shenyuan. “Is it the same on your side?”


  “More than that.” Jiang Shenyuan took out the lawyer’s letter. “In addition to the crime of intentional injury, there is also damage to high-value property. Sang Xue broke Meng Jinyang’s jade. It was a special piece of jade that was worth 60 million yuan at least.”


  Lu Chengzhou’s face darkened.

  When Gu Mang heard this, the smile at the corner of her mouth made her look rather ruthless.
