"I know, so I never thought about convicting Young Master Chen, and I never thought about locking him up for life."
Shen Yi shrugged nonchalantly, "I have already told my men that there is no need to detain Young Master Chen for more than 10 hours. Don't worry, Mrs. Lu. I promise that I will release Young Master Chen before the deadline."
"It's just that... there are tens of thousands of transactions every day in the black market. No one can guarantee that other contraband will not be found. After all, the black market is so big and the profits are so high, anything can happen. I think Master Chen is reluctant to let go of the black market, right?"
Shen Yi’s meaning couldn’t be clearer.
He couldn't convict Lu Yuchen.
But he can arrest Lu Yuchen and detain him as many times as he wants, using the excuse of investigating contraband on the black market.
He was detained for 48 hours today and another 7 hours the day after tomorrow. After a few days, Lu Yuchen was invited back and detained for another 4 hours.
Going on like this over and over again is really hurting both others and yourself.
"Shen Yi..." Old Mrs. Lu said in a low voice, looking angry.
"You'd better not go too far! If you do this, you are also gambling with your future and political life. No one wants China's military to be in the hands of such an unscrupulous person. What's more, you are not the boss of the military yet, so don't completely block your own way out!"
Mrs. Lu is not exaggerating.
People like Shen Yi, who find various reasons to arrest people and lock them up in the military again and again, will definitely be impeached by bigwigs from all sides.
If he does this, in the end, both the Lu family and Shen Yi will suffer losses.
Old Mrs. Lu really didn’t know what Shen Yi was thinking. Was revenge so important to him
"Oh, I said, I don't care." Shen Yi curled his lips and chuckled, then the smile disappeared from his cold and solemn face.
"There is discord within our Shen family, and I'm sure the old lady has heard about it. Your Lu family, after marrying Shen Wan's daughter, should have known that sooner or later I would take revenge on you. Last time when Young Master Chen and Gu Xuan'er were together, I reminded you. Why were you able to cooperate last time, but this time you turned around and tried desperately to protect her?"
There was contempt in his eyes, "I really don't understand, what's so good about Shen Wan's daughter."
Old Mrs. Lu was silent.
In her heart, Gu Xuan'er can't be compared with Xinluo at all.
Shen Yi curled the corners of his mouth into a sinister smile.
"Anyway, I've already said what I want to say. I don't care. If the military department can't continue, the Shen family can just go back to their old business. But the Lu family is different. The Lu family has been in turmoil recently. With Young Master Chen locked up inside, who else outside can take charge of the situation?"
Mrs. Lu was about to respond but was stopped by Shen Yi.
"Don't tell me, old lady, you can. You have to worry about your grandson, manage the company, and be on guard against the Presidential Palace..."
"I can… "
He shook his head. “No, old lady, you are too old. Even if you have the ability, you don’t have the strength and energy to take care of everything.”
Shen Yi's cold facial features gradually turned into frost.
"So, old lady, don't hold on any longer. Let Young Master Chen dump that woman and divorce her. As long as you do that, I can immediately turn my guns around and help you deal with the Presidential Palace. You know, I have always looked up to the Lu family compared to other families."

Outside the office, Tang Xinluo sat on the sofa, feeling a sudden chill all over her body.
She looked up and around, and couldn't help but rub her arm.
Is the air conditioner turned on too high? (To be continued)
