Chapter 688: You Might Not Be Able To Successfully Plot Against Him

“How is that possible?!”

The courier widened his eyes and his voice raised several octaves higher. “I clearly saw you bringing the box with Miss Ma Fei inside the gates!”

“Eh?” Zi Yi asked curiously. “Since it’s a box that contains a person, it should be sealed. How did you know that there’s a person inside or that was who it is?”

“I…” The courier wanted to refute.

Zi Yi snorted. “You’re saying that we brought in a box and even let you see that there’s a person inside? Are you trying to say that we had blatantly defied the laws of Country Em or are you unable to think of a way to frame us and so, made up this lie?”

“I…” The courier was eager to explain.

Lu Jingye looked at the courier sharply and the courier dared not speak up anymore.

Lu Jingye looked at the officer and asked, “Can you bear the consequences of going in and searching my house?”

The officer’s body stiffened.

He could not bear the consequences.

The young man before him was from the Lu Family, one of the eight aristocratic families of the capital. He dared not go in to search unless he was one hundred percent confident. Even the Prince could not bear the consequences, not to mention him.

Lu Jingye said, “Since he’s an eyewitness, go and bring up the surveillance of the streets around here to prove that he has been here and that he has seen the box.”

“Yes, that’s right. The surveillance will show that I really came here before.”

“What did you come here for? To send the box you mentioned?” The moment Zi Yi asked that question, the courier also detected something amiss and his complexion instantly paled.

The officer’s heart sped up. When the higher-ups sent him out to search Mr. Lu’s residence, he knew that things would not proceed so smoothly. However, he did not expect that the so-called witness would look as if he was lying.

The officer’s hands clenched tight and he sternly commanded his subordinates. “Bring the surveillance records right away.”

When his subordinates were pulling out the surveillance, a few cars approached them.

Soon, the cars drove to where they were and stopped.

The individuals who alighted from the car quickly made their way toward Lu Jingye and a few of them reached out their hands.

“Second Young Master Lu, nice to meet you.”

Lu Jingye also returned their handshakes and said, “Hello.”

The few individuals went to greet Zi Yi and all of them praised how she had increased the reputation of M.Uni.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Ambassador Xiang turned to look at the officer and said in a serious tone, “We have more or less understood the situation here. Second Young Master Lu is from the capital and even if something did happen, please inform the Chinese Embassy first.”

The officer opened his mouth, but he knew that no excuses could be made and he ended up not saying anything to refute them.

Lu Jingye said, “Since the ambassadors have arrived, let us settle this matter today. My wife and I are willing to cooperate with this officer, but if you are unable to find anything in our residence, please get your immediate superior to apologize.”

The officer got a fright and was about to speak.

Ambassador Xiang spoke up in an even more serious tone. “The Lu Family is a military family and since you are unable to find any evidence, it proves that it is a deliberate framing against the Second Young Master Lu. If you enter his residence, we’ll go through the diplomatic procedures.”

The officer’s expression changed.

He clenched his fist even tighter. Just then, his subordinate’s voice sounded from the side. “Boss, the surveillance did not show anything amiss. The courier has never been here at all.”

After the courier heard what the police officer said, his legs went soft and he instantly fell to the ground.

Everyone turned to look at him.

The courier’s mind went blank and he said with trembling lips, “How could that be?! I clearly delivered that box here!”

Ambassador Xiang snorted. “I believe there’s no need to search anymore, unless you think that there’s still a need to search?”

The officer swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, as he felt like he was at the end of the road.

In particular, Lu Jingye said something that threw him into the depths of an ice cellar.

“Ambassador Xiang, since this eyewitness that the officer brought along claimed that I had abducted someone’s daughter, then let’s get the mayor and the family members to come over.”

Zi Yi chimed in. “Ah Jing. Right now you are the country’s imperial merchant and coupled with the Lu Family background you have, can the mayor resolve this issue?”

Lu Jingye looked at the officer who was covered in a cold sweat and said, “In that case, get the highest official in City A.”

Zi Yi said, “The highest official in City A right now seems to be Dan Wei. After all, he is the Prince’s son and he should be able to speak on behalf of the Prince.”

Ambassador Xiang replied, “That’s the only way, or else I’ll immediately have to report this issue to our country and get the officials to step forward and communicate with Country Em to resolve this issue.”

The officer’s legs went soft and he staggered; he nearly fell down.

…

On the other side.

Dan Wei was currently having a celebratory drink with Rick at the moment.

Dan Wei said with a cheerful expression, “The good show is going to end soon. Say, how many days should I let Lu Jingye stay behind bars?”

Rick lowered his eyes and looked at the red wine in his glass. “You might not be able to successfully plot against him.”

“How is that possible? I got my men to abduct the daughter of the Yale Family and her father is a wealthy businessman in City A. I had also arranged for an eyewitness. When the time comes, as long as Lu Jingye is taken to the station and the Yale Family causes a commotion, he would lose all face even if he can come out in a few days. Haha…”

After Dan Wei had his fill of laughing, he suddenly stopped and said fiercely, “Those who dare to offend me, no matter who they are, they won’t be able to have a good life in Country Em.”

Rick felt that Lu Jingye would soon resolve this problem, but he did not tell Dan Wei of it. He merely said, “If he manages to get out of the situation, it’s best that you refrain from proceeding to the next step. Otherwise…”

Dan Wei’s phone suddenly rang and Rick stopped talking.

Dan Wei answered the call.

When he heard the report, Dan Wei’s expression sank and he furrowed his brow as he asked, “He really invited the ambassadors of the Chinese Embassy over? The surveillance was also changed?”

As soon as Rick heard what Dan Wei said, he knew that Lu Jingye had resolved this issue. He looked at Dan Wei and shook his head deep down.

This person was not smart enough.

After Dan Wei hung up the call, he suddenly stood up from his seat and paced back and forth for several seconds. His expression became increasingly turbulent.

Rick put down the glass and asked knowingly, “What happened?”

Dan Wei stopped pacing around and said with a frown, “Lu Jingye called the Chinese Embassy and they dispatched several ambassadors over. Sh*t! They are asking for my presence or else they will report this incident back to their country and get them to go through the official diplomatic procedures.”

The more Dan Wei spoke, the angrier he got. However, he had no choice but to step out at this point in time. Otherwise, if this matter were to spread to his father’s ears, he would be in trouble.

At the thought of this, he stepped outside.

Rick did not tag along and continued drinking the red wine. Subsequently, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

After the other party answered the call, Rick said, “Dan Wei’s plan has failed.”

He hung up the call immediately afterwards.

However, as soon as he hung up the call, he felt something amiss.

Just then, the string of beads on his wrist suddenly lit up.
