Chapter 2209 (1/2)
The two of them were both stunned now. They were so shocked that their minds turned blank, and they were not able to think properly at all.
“You… you, quickly, give He Zhengbai a call,” Xia Qingyang urged Lu Qi.
Lu Qi nodded frantically and quickly searched for her phone in her bag.
But the more she panicked, the worse she became at doing something.
Taking her phone was such a simple thing, but her hands were trembling so much that she could not grasp it properly, so it was stuck in her bag.
She finally pulled it out from her bag after much difficulty.
Her fingers trembled as she called He Zhengbai, but no one answered for a very long time.
At this moment, the doorbell to the door of the house also sounded. The police had entered.
“How is it?” Xia Qingyang asked urgently.
Lu Qi’s face turned pale. She shook her head as she said, “No one answered.”
Xia Qingyang’s eyes rounded so widely as she glared and said accusingly, “Don’t tell me he ran away!”
“No… It can’t be.” Lu Qi felt so nervous that her face was twitching uncontrollably. “He might just be busy, so he didn’t hear it.”
But not being able to contact him at such a critical moment still made them feel anxious and uneasy.
Xia Qingyang did not believe the excuse that Lu Qi came up with.
Actually, even Lu Qi herself did not believe it.
Just as the two of them were getting more and more anxious, the police officers came in.
There were three of them.
“Mrs. Xia Qingyang, Miss Lu Qi,” a police officer said, “someone is suing you for illegal embezzlement and transfer of the Lu Corporation’s assets. Please come with us to assist with investigations.”
Xia Qingyang stood up instantly and asked, “Police officer, is there some misunderstanding? The Lu Corporation is my family’s company. Why would we transfer our family’s company assets? Aren’t that company’s assets our own? We don’t need to do anything.”
Lu Qi also stood up and hugged Xia Qingyang’s elbow as she said to the police, “Yeah, who’s the one suing us? This is too ridiculous.”
