Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Can’t Control It

“We can’t release her; the matter is too serious, it has already breached the law.”

Officer Xu didn’t offer any face.

He had been involved in the entire case and knew that Qiao Yun was backed by Pei Ya, so he naturally wasn’t afraid of the chief.

The chief, unaware of the details, saw that Officer Xu wouldn’t give in and felt a surge of anger coming on.

Just then, his phone rang.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A call from a city leader came through, and the chief quickly answered it. Whatever was said on the other side, his expression soon changed.

“Rest assured, I know what to do.”

After hanging up the phone, the chief had made up his mind and said to Officer Xu, “Handle this matter according to the law.”

In other words, he was washing his hands of it.

Officer Xu breathed a sigh of relief; if the chief had really wanted to intervene, it would have been difficult for him.

Lu Guangyao was stunned, “But we had an agreement…”

“Your daughter has gone too far. You should find a good lawyer to get her sentence reduced.”

The chief didn’t even say goodbye before turning around and leaving.

He felt he had been deceived by Lu Guangyao; this was no trivial matter.

Lu Guangyao was dumbfounded and angrily asked Lu Xue, “What on earth did you do?”

“I… I…” Lu Xue stammered.

“Lu Xue paid people from outside the school to spread rumors about the plaintiff. Her actions have now crossed the legal line.”

“The suspect has already accused Lu Xue, admitting that everything was instigated by her. Now with conclusive evidence, we’re just waiting to prosecute.”

“She has also been involved in extortion and fighting outside of school, implicated in several cases, and needs to cooperate with the investigation.”

Lu Xue was just a senior in high school, yet several criminal cases had spiraled out from her actions.

Officer Xu was also shocked.

Lu Xue panicked, “I didn’t do it, it wasn’t me, I was just a bystander.”

Lu Guangyao was so angry he was fuming.

He couldn’t control Lu Xue and didn’t want to bother.

He knew Lu Xue liked to cause trouble, but since she had the security of wealth and hadn’t caused any serious issues before, he hadn’t paid much attention.

But he hadn’t expected Lu Xue to be so out of control outside of school.

“Dad, hurry and find someone, get them to let me go back,” Lu Xue tried to keep calm.

She was indeed panicking just a moment ago, but with her father there, she wasn’t worried about a solution.

Although Lu Guangyao was angry, he still had to take care of his daughter.

He immediately started making calls, hoping to use money to suppress the situation.

However, after reaching out to a few friends, they all brushed him off.

Only then did Lu Guangyao realize someone was working against him in the background!

He couldn’t afford to think too much and reached out to another contact with whom he had a good relationship.

That person was somewhat helpful, willing to give him a few tips.

“It’s really out of your hands. Do you know whom you’ve offended? It’s President Pei of Shengqiao Group.”

“What?” Lu Guangyao’s vision darkened.

“Shengqiao Group has made so many contributions to the city’s development—everyone gives face to President Pei.”

“But rest assured, President Pei knows and respects the law; he won’t do anything to you. He’ll only expect your daughter to bear the consequences she deserves.”

Lu Guangyao felt a cold sweat on his back.

The phone rang again, and he answered with trembling hands.

“Mr. Lu, hello, this is Shengyang High School. Due to the seriousness of the mistakes made by student Lu Xue, the school has decided to expel her…”

Lu Guangyao felt dizzy, “What!? Expelled! How can you expel her, she’s a senior! What will she do in the future?”

Lu Xue was terrified, “I won’t be expelled, on what grounds are you expelling me!”

She said fiercely, “It’s Qiao Yun! She must have made the Lu Family do something. How dare she treat me like this! Wait until I get back; I’ll make sure she pays!”

She felt as if she had been slapped by Qiao Yun; just moments ago, she had been sneering at her for talking big, and now she had actually been expelled!
