Chapter 194 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (16)

Lu Minghua was a well-known figure at Hongda University.

Of course, it wasn’t because of his academic excellence or outstanding abilities… It was simply because his identity as the young master of the Lu Family had been exposed the moment he enrolled.

‘Shi Fu’ was a household name, and everyone had heard of it.

As the sole heir of the Lu Family, Lu Minghua’s status was something straight out of a romance novel.

On top of that, he had a girlfriend from an equally wealthy and influential family.

The two of them were always wearing clothes from designer brands, often drove luxury cars around campus and flaunted their relationship extravagantly. Their world was completely different from that of ordinary college students, so nearly everyone recognized Lu Minghua.

Now, seeing him being taken away by the police, the students around the delivery pickup point immediately started snapping photos and recording videos.

"Police, official business."

The officers didn’t care about Lu Minghua’s status and shoved him into the patrol car.

Soon, on Hongda University’s forum, a post about Lu Minghua being taken away by the police was pushed to the top.

The photos and videos in it were taken very clearly, and everyone could tell at a glance that it was indeed him.

Those who knew Miao Rui quickly sent her messages on WeChat.

At first, Miao Rui refused to believe it. But when she saw the photos and videos, she was shocked. She immediately tried calling Lu Minghua’s phone, but no one answered. In a panic, she turned to her father.

"Dad! The police took Lu Minghua away from campus! You have to find a way to get him out!"

Miao Wei was in the middle of a meeting when he received the call from his precious daughter. He had assumed it was some urgent emergency, but who knew it was about Lu Minghua.

Hearing Miao Rui’s sobs, Miao Wei was also stunned.

‘What on earth had Lu Minghua done to get hauled away by the police?’

After calming his daughter down, Miao Wei personally called Grandpa Lu.

Although he wasn’t particularly fond of Lu Minghua, given the circumstances, he still had to inform the Lu Family.

Grandpa Lu was equally shocked when he received the call.

‘Lu Minghua was a bit cunning and slick, but those were minor flaws… He wouldn’t dare to do those illegal and criminal things! So why was he caught by the police?’

Grandpa Lu knew about Lu Minghua’s relationship with Miao Rui. Regardless of what the Miao Family thought, he had been observing the situation with a neutral stance.

This time, Miao Wei’s call was a gesture of goodwill based on their long-standing friendship, and Grandpa Lu appreciated it.

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Lu instructed Lu Song to investigate the matter.

They needed to find out whether Lu Minghua had actually done something wrong or if someone was using him to target the Lu Family.

When Grandma Lu and He Qiaoqiao heard that their grandson/son had been taken by the police, they immediately wanted to rush to the police station. How could their precious Minghua, who is such a well-behaved boy, possibly have done anything illegal?

The two insisted on going with Lu Song, but he managed to persuade them to stay behind before hurrying off to figure out what was going on.

By the time Lu Minghua arrived at the police station, he was completely dazed.

When he thought about so many classmates taking photos and videos before, and now the whole school must be buzzing with gossip about him, he clenched his fists in frustration.

‘What on earth is going on?’

Soon, an officer entered, holding the unopened package Lu Minghua had just received.

"What’s inside this?" The officer asked.

"It’s… a laptop I bought." Lu Minghua replied nervously.

"Where did you buy it? What brand? How much did it cost?" The officer fired off a series of questions, but Lu Minghua couldn't answer them at all.

The laptop was stolen, and he hadn't seen it yet, so how could he know what brand it was?

Lu Minghua grabbed his hair in frustration.

At the same time, Lu Song had contacted his friends in the police station, wanting to know what his son had done. The other party asked him to wait, saying that the matter was still unclear, and they were still investigating.

Lu Song waited for three whole days.

Later, even Grandpa Lu, Grandma lady and He Qiaoqiao came to wait in person before the authorities finally came out to explain the situation to them.

"You're saying my son stole a laptop belonging to a specially appointed expert of the National Security Ministry? That’s impossible! How would he even know such an expert? This must be a frame-up!"

Lu Song refused to believe it.

That is, until the police presented the evidence.

Lu Minghua had hired a detective four years ago at a high price to tail the target, secretly photographing and recording him, and even stealing his laptop...

Faced with such overwhelming proof, Lu Song’s anger faltered.

"Isn’t there some misunderstanding here?" Grandma Lu grabbed the officer’s hand anxiously.

"Comrade, my grandson is only 19, still a student! He’s always been a good boy."

Even He Qiaoqiao asked if they could speak to the victim directly… They were willing to apologize and hoped the matter could be resolved privately.

"Don’t you want to know why Lu Minghua hired a detective to tail this person for four whole years and even had someone stole his laptop?"

The officer’s questioned.

‘Yes, why?’

The four of them stared at him, waiting.

"This person is named Xiang Mingting."

The officer pulled out a photo of Mingting. "He was abducted as a child, saved by the abbot of Guiyi Temple, and later adopted by an elderly couple. He grew up in the temple."

The moment Grandpa Lu saw the photo, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took it.

"It’s Xiao Ting! This is Xiao Ting, no mistake!"

‘Xiao Ting?’

Only then did Lu Song remember Lu Mingting, his son who had been kidnapped by traffickers all those years ago.

He hurriedly leaned in for a closer look. The boy’s features bore a striking resemblance to Grandpa Lu’s, while also inheriting He Qiaoqiao’s beauty. He was an exceptionally handsome young man.

The only oddity was his shaved head. However, upon hearing that Mingting had grown up in a temple, they immediately understood.

"Comrade, where did you find our Xiao Ting?"

Grandpa Lu asked excitedly. "Where is he now? What is he doing? Does he know we’re his family?"

"Please, don’t get too worked up." The officer helped Grandpa Lu sit back down.

"This is exactly what I was about to explain. The person Lu Minghua hired someone to monitor… is Xiang Mingting."

"What?!" Now, the four of them were dumbfounded.

"How does Minghua know Xiao Ting?" He Qiaoqiao murmured in disbelief.

"Did he already know about Xiao Ting’s existence? Then why didn’t he tell us? He knew how long we’ve been searching for Xiao Ting..."
