Chapter 711: Lawless Land
Lu Ye returned home.
As soon as he entered the hallway, he saw Su Mengyao and Su Yunjie sitting in the living room.
"You're back."
Seeing Lu Ye coming in, Su Mengyao stood up and walked to the hallway, and helped get a pair of slippers for Lu Ye.
Su Yunjie, who was watching a TV series, took a glance and saw his sister was so attentive. He curled his lips, then looked away and continued watching the TV series.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Don't you have early classes tomorrow?" Lu Ye said to Su Mengyao while changing his slippers.
"It's still in time for my early classes. You can just drive me there tomorrow morning." Su Mengyao smiled.
She had missed many classes because of taking leave before.
Now that she's back to school, she has to catch up bit by bit.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow." Lu Ye stood up after changing into slippers.
Su Mengyao sniffed her nose, her dark eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "What's that smell on you? It's so awful."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye lifted the corner of his clothes and put it under his nose to smell it.
The fragrance of inferior cosmetics is mixed with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, which is really unpleasant.
"It does smell bad." Lu Ye also tightened his nose.
"What did you do at night?" Su Mengyao couldn't help but ask.
Lu Ye only told her that he had something to do tonight and would be back late, but he did not specify what he was going to do.
Lu Ye now smelled bad, and there were unique marks of women's cosmetics on his clothes. Su Mengyao could see it clearly.
Lu Ye actually didn't want to tell Su Mengyao what he was doing. After all, he didn't want Su Mengyao to be involved.
But facing Su Mengyao's questions and the previous events, Lu Ye didn't want to lie.
So he whispered, "I went to the entertainment city where Zheng Ganmei got into trouble."
Hearing this, Su Mengyao suddenly became nervous: "You went to the entertainment city? How could you go there alone! It's so dangerous!"
Su Mengyao's shout attracted Su Yunjie in the living room.
"What entertainment city? Why is it dangerous? What happened?" Su Yunjie asked curiously.
Lu Ye did not tell Su Yunjie what happened to Zheng Ganmei, so Su Yunjie was so confused.
Maybe Su Yunjie’s shout was too loud, or maybe it was just a coincidence.
Su Yao stood at the door of the study and looked towards Lu Ye and the others: "What happened?"
When Su Yao's voice sounded, the living room suddenly fell into silence.
"Dad, Yaoyao and Lu Ye are hiding something from us. They just talked about an entertainment city and that there was danger. I asked them what was going on, but they didn't tell me." Su Yunjie complained to his father Su Yao.
After experiencing the closure of the sales station, Su Yunjie's mentality has changed a lot.
In the past, he didn't care much about anything and didn't want to think too much about it.
But now, Su Yunjie has realized that sometimes, danger will not be avoided just because of one's ignorance. On the contrary, the less one knows, the more powerless and passive one will be when danger comes!
That's why Su Yunjie said this when he saw Lu Ye hesitating and unwilling to answer what he had just said.
Hearing his son's words, Su Yao looked at Lu Ye again.
Su Yao moved and came to the living room.
"Uncle, I don't want to hide anything from you, it's just that..."
"You mean to say that this matter has nothing to do with us?" Su Yao said.
It turned out that when Lu Ye just walked in, Su Yao had actually walked out of the study, but no one noticed him.
Su Yao also heard what Su Mengyao and Lu Ye said before, such as the entertainment city where Zheng Ganmei was injured and how it was too dangerous, he heard every word.
"I guess so." Lu Ye nodded.
"Xiao Lu, although you and Yaoyao haven't gotten married yet, whether from the perspective of outsiders or in this family, you are already a member of our Su family. Your affairs are the affairs of this family."
"So, you don't have to be so clear about it."
"Tell me, what's going on?" Su Yao asked seriously.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment.
Huang Lidong targeted the Su family, and now Cai Quan is in cahoots with Huang Lidong's son. That entertainment city was jointly opened by Cai Quan and Lu Tianci. Not only is it full of filth, but it also involves organized crime.
Lu Ye felt that it was necessary to tell Su Yao about this matter.
"Here's what happened. When I was working in the property management department, I met two friends..."
"Zheng Ganmei is a very dedicated reporter who has uncovered a lot of scandalous news. Although she appears a bit unkempt and sloppy, she is a journalist with a conscience and a strong sense of justice."
"On the day he got into trouble, he was following an official and trying to collect evidence to expose the corruption of the casino and the official."
"After being discovered by the other party, the tendons of his hands and feet were brutally severed."
······
"I just want to go to that entertainment city today to find out what's going on inside." Lu Ye told Su Yao, Su Yunjie and Su Mengyao everything about Zheng Ganmei's experience.
After hearing this story, Su Yao's face was serious.
He didn't expect that in Binjiang, under the noses of the provincial and municipal governments, there would be such a lawless place!
This completely refreshed Su Yao's previous understanding of Binjiang's public security.
After hearing this, Su Yunjie's face was filled with resentment:
"Isn't this too lawless? Zheng Ganmei is a reporter, how dare they do such a cruel thing!"
"And the Public Security Bureau and that newspaper, they actually shielded those bad guys. How much benefit did they receive?"
More than a month has passed since Zheng Ganmei reported the case to the police, but the Binjiang police have not made any progress so far.
The entertainment city is still operating smoothly and no criminals who caused injuries have been caught.
On the contrary, the victim Zheng Ganmei is still suspended and even faces punishment.
Anyone who hears about this kind of thing would probably ask: Is there still law? Is there still law?
Su Yao shouted softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How do you know someone accepted bribes when there's no evidence? Don't say such things in the future."
After being yelled at by his father, Su Yunjie realized that he had said the wrong thing.
So the answer is: "I know."
Among the three, only Su Mengyao was better. After all, Lu Ye had already revealed some things to her before, so she did not seem too angry.
"Dad, I've also seen that Zheng Ganmei, and I've also read some of the news reports he wrote."
"He is such a good reporter. I didn't expect to be treated like this."
Su Yao looked at Lu Ye and asked, "Tell me what you saw in the entertainment city."
