Chapter 170 -160 Ding Jing is Captured
Lu Jiaxin took her household registration book and student ID to the guard post to register and then found the relevant staff.
Two hours later, Lu Jiaxin came out of the building.
Qian Xiaoxiao had been squatting across the street, and as soon as she saw her, she ran over like she was flying. When Lu Jiaxin exited the main door, Qian Xiaoxiao pulled her arm and asked, “Sister Xin, is everything taken care of?”
“It’s all taken care of, let’s go back!”
Only when they got home and closed the door did Qian Xiaoxiao ask with a puzzled face, “Sister Xin, can the Discipline Inspection ensure Ding Jing gets what she deserves?”
This was a domestic issue, could a state unit manage household affairs? She didn’t understand, but since Lu Jiaxin said they would, it must be right.
“They can,” Lu Jiaxin replied with certainty.
She had said before that she wouldn’t let Ding Jing off easily, but over the past year, there had been no action. Lu Hongjun and Ding Jing thought she was just a paper tiger, making noise to scare people. The reason for the lack of action was initially because she didn’t have the means; later, when she had the money, investigating Ding Jing’s acceptance of bribes took time. Once the evidence was collected, it coincided with the critical moment of Lu Jiaguang’s promotion so she waited and waited. She had been planning to lodge the report before she left next month, but now, she couldn’t be bothered to wait.
Qian Xiaoxiao didn’t understand these matters but felt reassured because Lu Jiaxin said so, “Sister Xin, should we celebrate a bit?”
This was a cause for celebration and called for a couple of drinks.

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, “No rush, let’s wait until Ding Jing is caught before we celebrate. Also, don’t mention today’s events to them, lest we startle the snake by hitting the grass.”
When the news of Ding Jing being caught spread, many people would surely come knocking. And if they came up to point fingers at her, she’d simply kick them out. When Ding Jing harmed her, people also had only a few words to offer without really standing up for her, so now they had no right to blame her.
“Okay.”
Lu Jiaxin didn’t feel like reading at the moment, so she took out an economic magazine instead, and an article in the Economic Herald caught her attention.
She remembered that the chairman of Amigo was Da Liu, mainly because the company’s main product was electric fans, which earned the tycoon the nickname “Fan Liu.” However, the article stated that the major shareholder of Amigo was a Mr. Liang, which was strange.
Lu Jiaxin immediately called Su Heyuan, asking him to help inquire about this matter to see what was really going on.
Su Heyuan was very straightforward, “You wait, I’ll ask around.”
Half an hour later, Lu Jiaxin received news that the Liu tycoon she knew had reduced his shares in the company, and now the major shareholder of the company was this Mr. Liang.
Lu Jiaxin asked, “What’s the stock price of the company now?”
“I just asked a stockbroker, and it’s now down to 0.85 Hong Kong Dollars per share. The broker said the stock market is doing poorly recently and will continue to decline.”
Thinking that this person was not only a sniper of actresses but also a sniper of stocks, Lu Jiaxin said, “Big Brother Su, sell all my New World Development stocks tomorrow and buy this one instead.”
Su Heyuan said, “Jiaxin, the stock market is in quite a bad shape right now, many stocks have plunged, and Amigo has fallen a lot. If you sell New World Development to buy this stock, you could lose everything.”
Recent newspapers were all discussing this, and he was relieved he hadn’t bought any shares as the fall to rock bottom wouldn’t affect him. New World Development hadn’t fallen much, so he hadn’t mentioned it to Lu Jiaxin, but now she unexpectedly wanted to buy a plummeting stock.
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Big Brother Su, the drop is only temporary, it won’t be long before the prices rise again. Big Brother Su, I’ll have to trouble you with this.”
Seeing he couldn’t persuade her, Su Heyuan had no choice but to agree.
Before hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin said, “Big Brother Su, if you have some spare cash, you can also buy this stock. I can’t guarantee much, but within a year the money for dining out should be secured.”
Su Heyuan felt like he hadn’t gone mad, how could he knowingly buy something that would lose money. But the next day at the stock exchange, he ended up buying an extra one hundred thousand pieces worth of that stock as if possessed.
The following morning, Ding Jing was doing household chores when there was a sudden knock at the door. She wiped her hands and went to open it only to see a man and a woman in uniform. A sense of dread surged in her, “Who are you?”
The two showed their work badges in front of her and then said with stern faces, “Ding Jing, you are being reported for long-term bribery, please come with us.”
Ding Jing’s face turned pale and her legs weakened, but she quickly calmed down, “Comrade, this must be a defamation. Comrade, I have never taken any benefits from anyone, not even a single needle.”
The male officer chided, “Whether you have accepted bribes will be thoroughly investigated by us, please come with us now.”
In recent years, he had arrested many people who initially claimed innocence, yet actual malicious allegations were very rare. Moreover, the one reporting this woman was her stepdaughter, and the girl had provided very detailed materials which couldn’t be fabricated.
Seeing Ding Jing stand still, the male officer took out handcuffs.
Ding Jing stepped back and said with a trembling voice, “Comrade, I’ll cooperate fully, just please let me call my husband.”
Seeing the female officer step forward, Ding Jing, frightened, stepped back three paces, “I won’t make a phone call, no need for that, I’ll lock the door and come with you.”
The scene of Ding Jing being led away by uniformed individuals was witnessed by many in the family compound. Soon, the news reached Lu Hongjun’s ears.
Once he confirmed it was true, he immediately called an old comrade-in-arms.
Upon hearing Lu Hongjun’s voice, his comrade sighed, “Old Lu, have you lost your senses?”
Lu Hongjun felt his heart sink and quickly explained that he was unaware of anything Ding Jing had done. He also stated that he had never reached out for money and had been dedicated to his work: “I only have one daughter, and she’s outstanding so I don’t need to worry. I earn a high salary, I have no need for corruption.”
His old comrade asked, “Lu Hongjun, knowing how outstanding your daughter is, why did you treat her the way you did?”
Now things had turned out, the child couldn’t bear it anymore and started fighting back, and this move left no room for regret. He had warned Lu Hongjun before, that the child was the assurance for his later years and the continuation of the family, but it was a pity that he was blinded by that woman and wouldn’t hearken to advice.
A bad premonition rose in Lu Hongjun’s mind, “Old brother, who reported Ding Jing? It can’t be, it can’t be my girl, can it?”
His old comrade said, “As you guessed, it was Jiaxin who reported Ding Jing. Because of your inaction, calamity has arisen within your walls. Old Lu, don’t bother finding Jiaxin, better think about how to resolve this matter.”
He believed that Lu Hongjun was not corrupt. Firstly, he wasn’t someone who sought material comforts, and secondly, he couldn’t spend all his high salary while his only daughter was so outstanding, what would he need the stolen money for? On the other hand, Ding Jing was fond of luxury and had an impure mind; her involvement in corruption and bribery came as no surprise.
