Scumbag Chapter 195 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (17)

"Take a look at this."

The officer pulled up an old news article about Mingting being the city’s top scorer in the college entrance examination.

"We believe that Lu Minghua saw Xiang Mingting in the news and suspected his identity, which is why he hired someone to investigate him."

"We have reason to suspect that he had already guessed Xiang Mingting was the Lu Family’s lost child."

With the truth laid bare so abruptly, the Lu Family was completely dumbfounded.

"How could he do this?"

Lu Song slammed his fist on the table in fury.

‘The adopted son had known about the kidnapped son all along and kept it completely hidden… What was he trying to do?’

‘Did Minghua wanted to hide Mingting's existence so that he could inherit the Lu Family and become the heir of the Lu Family? He was dreaming!’

"Minghua probably didn't mean to..."

Grandma Lu, who had always doted on Lu Minghua, tried to defend him, "Comrade, since Mingting is my grandson, we're all family here. Can you ask him not to press charges against Minghua?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

When Grandpa Lu heard what his wife said, he was furious.

‘Our Lu Family had raised Lu Minghua for so many years, only for him to grow into such ambition. Look at what he'd done, is this even human behavior?’

‘He was nothing but a white-eyed wolf!’

"Comrade, he did wrong. Handle this as the law requires."

Right now, Old Master Lu was most concerned about Mingting.

"When can I see my grandson?"

The officer explained that Mingting was still in the southern province. As an expert hired by the National Security Ministry, he was currently occupied with work.

"Then we can go see him! Can you give us his address? And his phone number!"

He Qiaoqiao was very excited.

Her son, who had been missing for 15 years, had finally been found. She wanted to see the child as soon as possible.

"I’m afraid that’s not possible for now." The officer shook his head.

"Comrade Xiang Mingting is on a classified mission. We don’t know his address or contact details."

‘Good guy!’

When Grandpa Lu heard the news, he swelled with pride.

‘At just 19, when most kids were still freshmen or sophomores in college, Mingting was already an expert for the National Security Ministry, working on secret assignments.’

‘How could my grandson be so capable?!’

Meanwhile, Lu Song listened as the officer explained that his son had been the top scorer in the college entrance examination, skipped grades in university, and already obtained his master's degree. He was also bursting with pride.

‘As expected of my son!’

Only Grandma Lu was still preoccupied with Lu Minghua.

"Then, comrade… when can Minghua be released?"

Back when she had lost her grandson, she had been utterly devastated. It was Lu Minghua who had diverted her attention, giving her a reason to keep living.

Moreover, Minghua had been exceptionally filial these past few years, and Grandma Lu genuinely cared for him.

"The laptop he stole contained Comrade Xiang Mingting’s latest security software design, which involves state secrets. Regardless of whether Lu Minghua was aware, his actions constitute a crime."

The officer’s expression was grave.

"Huh? A crime?!"

The old lady was uneducated and didn't understand these things.

"What can’t be settled within the family? It's indeed wrong for Minghua to take Xiao Ting's notebook, but can’t we just return it? How is that a crime?!"

Hearing his wife's words, Grandpa Lu was very disappointed. Without another word, he had Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao escort her home.

…

On the other side, Miao Wei had been closely following the developments too.

The Lu Family’s biological grandson had been found, and Lu Minghua had known about his whereabouts all along… But he’s keeping it completely hidden, not letting a single hint slip.

Just from this, Miao Wei understood Lu Minghua’s true motives in relentlessly pursuing Miao Rui these past few years.

‘He had been a cuckoo in the nest for so long that he feared losing everything if the real young master returned, so he sought a powerful in-law family as backup?’

‘Hah! What did Lu Minghua take my Miao Family for?!’

"Look at what Lu Minghua has done. How can I possibly entrust you to someone like this? And on top of that, he’s committed a crime!"

Miao Wei tried to reason with his daughter.

"Dad, don’t waste your breath."

After being locked up by her father for days, Miao Rui had cried and thrown tantrums… but this time, seeing no amount of dramatics worked, she had finally calmed down.

"Anyway, I’m already pregnant with Lu Minghua’s child. If you refuse to save him, Dad, then you’ll lose both your daughter and your grandchild!"

Miao Rui placed her hand on her abdomen.

"You, you…"

Miao Wei felt dizzy with rage He refused to believe it and called the family doctor.

After the checking, it was confirmed that Miao Rui was really pregnant.

Miao Wei was so furious he slapped her across the face.

"How could you be so reckless?!"

Miao Wei was on the verge of collapsing from anger.

"Go ahead, Dad! Hit me!" Miao Rui stood up with a red and swollen cheek and pointed at her belly, " Better yet, hit me here! Be the righteous grandfather who disowns his own flesh and blood!"

Seeing his daughter like this, Miao Wei suddenly realized he was wrong. He shouldn’t have spoiled her so much, turning her into this kind of person.

"You’re staying home. You’re not allowed to go anywhere."

Miao Wei’s head was spinning.

What gave him an even bigger headache was that Miao Rui had already called and told both sets of grandparents about the situation.

As the only child and a girl who had once been kidnapped, Miao Rui was the absolute treasure of her four grandparents. How could they bear to see her suffer? Especially now that she was pregnant.

Grandpa Miao sought out Miao Wei.

"You’re worried about Lu Minghua’s character, right? Well, this time, the Lu Family might not even keep him. How about this… let him marry into our Miao Family. From now on, he’ll have to rely on Ruirui for everything, so he won’t dare mistreat her. As for the family business, once Ruirui has a child, we’ll focus on raising the grandson!"

"Dad…"

Miao Wei was exasperated.

His daughter was naive and had been manipulated by Lu Minghua. He really couldn’t swallow this anger.

"As long as Lu Minghua eats the Miao Family’s rice for even a single day, he’ll have to bow his head and treat Ruirui like a queen!"

Grandpa Miao made the final decision.

In this way, Miao Rui wouldn’t have to marry out, and she could just bring a son-in-law into the family. With the elders keeping an eye on things, no matter how many tricks Lu Minghua had up his sleeve, he’d have to endure it.

Since his father has spoken, Miao Wei has no choice but to go to the house in person and find Grandpa Lu to inquire about Mingting’s situation.
