Chapter 411: Someone Is Meddling If those who broke the law were allowed to escape punishment, would the world have any justice in it?

He had become a prosecutor in the first place for the purpose of upholding justice. He would look for justice where others would not give it to him to return fairness to the world and to give justice to the people as well as to uphold his own morals.

“Are you sure about this, Lu Yi?” Old Master Lu took up the cloth at the side to wipe away the spilled tea on the table carefully, “You’re all grown up now and your wings are well-developed, but don’t you forget that your grandfather isn’t dead yet.”

“The one that you married, her name’s Yan Huan, isn’t it?”

Lu Yi’s body froze momentarily, “What are you going to do, grandfather?”

“I’m not going to do anything,” Old Master Lu put aside the cotton cloth and then picked up the tea cup on the table again, “An actress wouldn’t be able to make much of a scene anyway. You should know, if I were to block all her paths, she wouldn’t get any roles. The choice is up to you whether you want to let her destroy her own future, or you destroy her everything yourself.”

Lu Yi took out his phone from the pocket of his windbreaker and let go of it. With a loud bang, the phone fell on the ground and shattered.

Old Master Lu expression hardened, his two fingers clenching the delicate tea cup in his hand.

Lu Yi moved his lips, his tone unafflicted and calm, and of course, not pleading.

“Grandfather, you can attack her all you want because that’s your character and I understand that because you raised me. However, you should be quite clear on my character as well, I have no mercy for anything that crosses my boundaries even if it means doing whatever it takes.”

His voice only paused momentarily before his thin lips were open again, the voice coming from it quiet but strong.

“Grandfather, you can block all her paths, or sabotage her in any way you like but only if you want to lose a grandson.”

He took one step forward to step in front of Old Master Lu who had not moved since the beginning, the tea cup in his hand still very much the first one.

Lu Yi knew that he had heard him and that he had heard him loud and clear.

“I still have some matters to attend to, grandfather, so I’ll leave now.” He turned and left right away, without being halted by Old Master Lu this time.

“Boss, you have a call from Sir Miao.”

A guard hurried over to him and placed a mobile telephone in front of Old Master Lu.

Grandpa Lu slammed the Kung Fu tea cup on the table with a loud bang with no sign of gentleness whatsoever. It was his favorite cup and he normally treated the tea cup set like his life depended on it, only allowing himself to use it while forbidding others from even touching it.

The guard shuddered in shock as he thought to himself, What did this Prosecutor Lu do to anger Head so much?

Old Master Lu took the phone and put it to his ear.

“Yes, don’t worry, I’ll think of something for this matter.” As the voice on the other hand continued talking, Old Master Lu’s expression darkened in displeasure, causing the guard to tremble in fear.

Once Old Master Lu hung up, the guard quickly scooped it up and hurried away.

With a bang, a Kung Fu tea cup shattered at the position where he had stood at. If he acted any slower, the cup might just have been thrown on his feet.

The guard was indeed frightened. With a single hurl of the Head’s hand, the smashing of the cup would cost a fortune. Moreover, it was also a treasured Lu family heirloom which any other cup would be hard to match up to, but instead, he had personally destroyed it.

Lu Yi returned to the procuratorate radiating a frightening chilly aura which kept people away. No one dared to go near him at all for fear that they would feel the wrath of his anger.

“Send me all the information on Miao Xinyuan,” Lu Yi phoned and ordered his secretary.

“Alright, Mr. Lu, noted,” answered the secretary as he hung up the call to extract information from his computer. Yet strangely, he could not find the name of Miao Xinyuan.

What is happening? He had sorted out the information and saved it in his computer himself because Lu Yi had personally given the order to so and as such, he had prioritised it. Moreover, under normal circumstances, such cases that Lu Yi worked on personally were usually major cases, hence he did not dare to be careless.

Is there something wrong with the computer? He checked the computer over and over again, and even called for help from the technicians.

However, even the technicians could not find the cause for the loss of the file. The document was not deleted, nor was the computer broken, but the file had just simply disappeared.

The secretary could not think of the reason it was missing even after wracking his brains for the longest time, but then, something the technician said reminded him.

Such a disappearance was indeed not a loss of the file, but rather, someone had purposely hidden it, which meant someone had messed with it.

I see. The secretary nodded and linked it all up. Miao Xinyuan had relations with those in power and such influence had reached into the affairs of the procuratorate.

The secretary phoned Lu Yi.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lu, the information of Miao Xinyuan is lost and is therefore unavailable for extraction.”

Unavailable for extraction? Lu Yi pursed his lips as he understood what ‘unavailable for extraction’ meant.

Lu Yi hung up the phone, his fingers typing furiously on the keyboard to enter a set of commands that he had not used for a long time. Not many dared to break the law under his watch or even challenge his authority.

He would not have used his last resort if he had not needed to because he still believed that everyone had morals. However, there were exceptions, not because of the absence of justice but because their hearts had turned bad. Yet, if you asked whether there were more good guys or bad guys, Lu Yi had always believed that there was more good than evil.

Truth be told, everyone was selfish, including both the good and the bad but everyone still liked justice behind morals.

He pressed the enter key and as soon as he took his finger off the keyboard, another page had appeared on the computer screen. Leaning against his chair, he stared indifferently at the screen.

He did not know whose hand it was that had reached into his territory and broken the law under his watch.

Be it Old Master Lu or the Miao family, they would have to up their effort in order to free the person that was in his hands. Lu Yi had been in this position for some years and had met various kinds of people but among all that had meddled in his affairs, Miao Xinyuan was the one that went too far.

You all want to spare her, but I want to put her in jail.

That’s just splendid. So try me, let’s try and see who’s the better player.

He pressed another key on the keyboard and the file began to duplicate.
