Chapter 222: Chapter 222 The Prodigal Son Returns, More Precious Than Gold_1

Lu Feng, Liu Wen, and the others, seeing a group of people approaching, hurriedly stood up in panic.

All three of them were frequently admonished for their petty thefts, as they never committed major offenses, just minor ones incessantly.

But this was the first time they’d seen such a show of force.

Father Luo had made up his mind.

"Take him away. Let him squat behind bars."

If his married daughters worried about being implicated, then just let Lu Feng sever ties with the Luo family and pretend the Luo family didn’t have this son.

At that moment, the courtyard was very quiet.

Because it wasn’t yet time for work and school to let out.

The newcomers entered the house and closed the door behind them. One of the officers smiled first, told them not to be nervous, and introduced himself as the head of the sub-bureau. He said, "A prodigal son returning is worth more than gold," and thankfully, Lu Feng and Liu Wen provided a clue that helped solve a case in the shortest time possible. Their family members were at the station. He had intended to visit and express his gratitude but was worried about causing trouble, so he came to take them to the station instead.

Father Luo was dumbfounded, his heart pounding.

What?

His son seemed to have done a meritorious deed?

How could this sound so dreamlike?

Outside, a car was waiting; Liu Wen and Ba Te were both present, so they all got into the car together.

Old Mrs. Luo and Mother Luo looked at each other in disbelief.

It seemed they still hadn’t fully grasped what was happening.

Meanwhile, in the reception room at the station, Lu Feng had never expected the Factory Director Mei of the First Shoe Factory to be standing next to a dignified elderly man.

And Factory Director Mei didn’t expect the person who provided significant clues to be the rascal he’d fired just days before.

That was a bit embarrassing.

But he reacted quickly, slapping Lu Feng’s shoulder with a beaming smile and saying, "Xiao Luo, maybe the factory’s decision was a bit hasty. I’ll go back and call a meeting to reconsider. Wait at home for the news."

On the other side, Hu Wulin, Old Mr. Hu’s brother, showered the three with thanks.

He even pulled out a thousand yuan for the three of them.

Only now did Lu Feng and the others fully comprehend. Having mixed in society for so long, they certainly knew how to say pretty words.

The officer from the police station said that the investigation was not yet complete and hoped they would continue to provide any clues they might have.

Remembering the white-clothed young lady’s instructions, the three of them insisted on refusing the reward money. Instead, they told the police they wanted to confess their own misdeeds.

So, they were taken to a special room for recording statements.

Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, they confessed everything they knew and even exposed many others with whom they had been associating.

If people found out they were the ones who had provided the clues, they would just be waiting for retribution.

Better to expose everything, they figured.

The bureau chief seemed to understand their concerns, speaking with a profound meaning, "You’ve confessed in a timely manner, don’t worry about retaliation. They might have their own troubles to deal with."

No more need be said, as Lu Feng, Ba Te, and the others were well aware of the strict crackdown that was underway.

So they thought, as long as one does wrong, they’d be caught; what was there to be afraid of?

All of a sudden, their spirits were lifted.

After a lecture, they were told that they could redeem themselves by doing good deeds, and then they were free to go.

For some reason, standing there, watching everyone’s expressions, the three felt different from before.

How to put it?

The way people looked at them had changed.

It gave them a feeling of an emotional surge.

This place, which they feared and disliked the most, seemed quite nice today.

What touched Lu Feng the most was Factory Director Mei, who spoke to him with a smile.

This gave Lu Feng a feeling of being remarkably flattered.

He suddenly noticed his father in the corner, wiping away tears.

Then he remembered his mother’s white hair.

The memory of his grandmother’s tears mixed with curses flooded back to him.

Lu Feng felt as if he had an epiphany.

Song Yunuan had not instructed them to keep the affair secret, but she had not told them not to either.

Unsure whether to speak or remain silent.

In private, they decided to wait until they found the white-clothed young lady to decide.

But where to look?

And Song Yunuan was unaware of this.

After leaving the Xinhua Bookstore, Old Cui treated them to a meal at a state-owned restaurant.

Today’s menu included fish-flavored shredded pork, and Old Cui also ordered sweet and sour spareribs for both Asheng and Song Yunuan.

The dishes were undeniably a feast for the senses.

In fact, it was quite reasonable for state-owned restaurants to exist because they used genuine ingredients at least.

But in the future, these restaurants would either close down or be contracted out.

If the contractor had professional ethics, then all was well. But without them, it would be a disaster for diners.

Luo Zhiwu and the others were quietly searching for Song Yunuan.

Lu Feng was also looking for Song Yunuan.

The words Qin Siqi had said to him filled him with confidence. Yes, Little Nuan had always had a great relationship with him, and they had been the best of playmates since childhood.

As kids, they had played house, with him as the groom and Little Nuan as the bride.

Big Brother Qin had thrashed him twice over this.

But there was no helping it; Little Nuan just liked playing with him.

She was the first to ride on the back seat of his bicycle when he learned to ride.

She was also the first girl he had liked.

And Little Nuan liked him too.

Then the two had even gotten engaged.

All that was left was for them to marry after his graduation.

But who could have imagined that everything would change overnight?

Identities may change, but hearts shouldn’t.

Yet Little Nuan had changed, becoming unrecognizable compared to before.

It was as if she had become a different person.

Especially the words she said to him yesterday, they truly hurt.

But after Qin Siqi explained it to him, he understood that Little Nuan felt inferior, knowing she was a country girl and fearing she wasn’t good enough for him. She didn’t want to cause him trouble, so she pretended to be cold.

So now he needed to take the initiative to find Little Nuan and tell her his feelings.

He had never forgotten her.

The person he always wanted to marry was her.

Then he started to feel guilty towards Qin Siqi.

He understood Qin Siqi’s feelings and felt that being the one mistakenly held was quite pitiable. He also knew that the two families had always wanted to be related by marriage.

But there was nothing to be done about the absence of affection.

However, he would help her as much as possible in the future.

He even told Qin Siqi that if she had anything she did not understand or know, she could come to him for tutoring.

Qin Siqi happily accepted and left the Lu family, while he immediately went to find Song Yunuan.

He first went to the museum to ask Old Mr. Lin.

But Old Mr. Lin was not at work.

Thinking about the direction Little Nuan had come from yesterday, he knew there were a few guest houses, so he started searching in that direction tentatively.

Little did he know that he would run into her head-on.

At that moment, Luo Zhiwu and his group were also heading in this direction.

After all, they had encountered the girl in white nearby just yesterday.

Thus, Song Yunuan handed her brother over to Principal Cui, saying, "I’m going to the small shop over there to buy something, I’ll be right back."

Little Asheng blinked his eyes, aware that his sister had something to do, and then noticed the brother who had defended his sister the day before, standing not far away. However, his sister hadn’t acknowledged him at the time.

Ah, if only he weren’t so young, he could help his sister.

So the least he could do was not cause her any trouble.

Song Mingsheng obediently followed Principal Cui into the guest house.

Song Yunuan walked towards Lu Feng.

Why hadn’t this man given up yet?

She had clearly ignored him yesterday, and he had proudly reciprocated. So why had things changed overnight?
