Chapter 445: Your Son is a Lost Cause (3)

Meng Chengyu started to panic. All his previous nonchalance was gone, replaced by an equal measure of frantic alarm.

In the past, whenever he got into trouble, his family would always find a way to clean up his mess. But now, Meng Chengyu suddenly had a feeling that this time was different.

"Chengyu, don’t panic. Mom and Dad will figure something out! Don’t panic!"

"Si Jia, didn’t you say you’re on personal terms with the person from your company who’s investigating this? Why don’t you go ask them for a favor? See if they can bend the rules a little. We’ll do whatever it takes!"

"Mom, it’s useless!"

If it were anyone else, Meng Sijia might not be so sure, but it just had to be Lu Cheng—the one man who never, ever played favorites.

Besides, what kind of personal connection could she possibly have with Lu Cheng? The memory of his merciless attitude toward her was still fresh in Meng Sijia’s mind.

In the past, Meng Sijia might have been naive enough to think Lu Cheng would do her such a favor. But now... hah.

"What do you mean it’s useless? You haven’t even tried and you’re already giving up! This is your brother we’re talking about, your own flesh and blood!"

"Mom, I know he’s my brother! You think I don’t want to save him? But what can I do? It’s not in my power! I’m just a regular employee, you all overestimate my influence!"

"Then... then what do we do?"

"Plead with the Qin family."

Father Meng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. At his words, the entire family turned to look at him.

"Yes, the Qin family! We’ll go plead with the Qin family! As long as they’re willing to intervene, our son will be fine! Meng, you go right now! Take those lavish gifts we prepared. No, that’s not enough. I need to see if we have anything better. Take it all with you!"

While the Meng Family scrambled to plead their case with the Qin family over Meng Chengyu’s foolish actions, Lu Cheng’s investigation had just concluded its initial phase.

’The Meng Family...’

Lu Cheng’s brows furrowed as he thought about the recent findings of his investigation.

From what Lu Cheng knew of Luo Bin’s family, Liu Fanglan had no dealings with the Meng family. And given Liu Fanglan’s personality, it was no secret within the company that Meng Sijia was the young miss of the Meng family.

Liu Fanglan would only try to curry favor with the Meng family; she would never have deliberately offended them.

’If that’s the case, then why would the Meng family make a move against Liu Fanglan? And why would they be so ruthless about it?’

’If it wasn’t due to some feud between Liu Fanglan and the Meng family, then did Liu Fanglan have some kind of leverage over them?’

Unfortunately, Liu Fanglan was gone, and Luo Bin was completely in the dark. ’Finding out what leverage she had on the Meng family,’ he thought, ’is going to be difficult.’

However, Lu Cheng would absolutely not condone the Meng family’s behavior. They treated human life as if it were worthless.

Besides, Lu Cheng hadn’t forgotten how Meng Chengyu had coveted Shen Nian. ’The Meng family... humph.’ He hadn’t been idle lately. The information he now possessed was enough to ensure Meng Chengyu would never recover from this.

However, Lu Cheng hadn’t expected that just as he finished writing and submitting the investigation report on the Liu Fanglan case, he would receive a message.

Someone had intervened, wanting to bail out the Meng family.

And this was no ordinary person. Otherwise, the company wouldn’t have received the news so quickly, nor would they be so wary of this individual.

Considering the Meng family’s connections, Lu Cheng could only think of one possible identity for the person who had intervened.
