Chapter 176: Honey Trap

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Lu family was undoubtedly the most influential family in Lin City.

Lu Si had connections everywhere and even found evidence earlier than the police did, proving that Lin Feng was manipulated by Mei Mu into attending Zhang Jiao’s birthday banquet to frame Mei Shu.

He submitted the evidence to the police, and Lin Feng was immediately interrogated at the hospital. The case progressed rapidly, leaving people astonished.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, despite the efforts of the Lin family to pull strings and spend a fortune, they couldn’t ensure Lin Feng’s safe return.

A gloom descended upon the entire Lin family.

Lin’s mother cried almost all day long, “He’s my only son. If he goes to prison, how am I supposed to live?”

Lin’s father certainly didn’t want his son to go to prison, especially since the charges against Lin Feng were incredibly shameful.

Attempted rape and drugging a man

If this were to come to light, he would lose all face.

The Lin family might never recover their standing in this circle.

But his son was still his flesh and blood, and no matter how angry he was, Lin’s father had to consider his reputation and get Lin Feng out of the police station.

He locked himself at home for days, making countless calls to high-ranking officials, either pressuring them or offering incentives, but none of it seemed to be effective.

Those officials who used to call him their brother were now avoiding him, as if he were the plague.

After three days of being ignored, Lin’s father finally came to his senses.

“It seems that either Zhang Jiao has powerful backers, or the Mei family has someone behind them. We may not be able to rescue our son,” Lin’s father said, as if he had aged ten years overnight, sitting dejectedly on the sofa, his temples streaked with white hair.

Lin’s mother became even more emotionally distraught when she heard this. “So, what do we do now? Are we really going to let our son go to prison? Honey, let’s go and beg the Lu family for mercy! You used to have some connections with them, didn’t you?”

Lin’s father hesitated. “I did have some dealings with Lu Li in the past, but you know, the one who truly calls the shots in the Lu family now is Lu Si.”

“What does that matter? Those two are brothers! As long as Lu Li speaks up, can’t Lu Si help us?” Lin’s mother began to think that this plan was feasible. “Honey, this is our last chance. If we wait any longer, by the time our son recovers, it will be too late!”

Lin’s father still had some reservations, but the situation was becoming urgent.

Currently, they had managed to keep the news hidden from the public, but if Lin Feng were to be sentenced, they would be powerless to turn things around. The Lin family would be forever stuck in a situation where they were the laughingstock of others.

Thinking about this, Lin’s father made up his mind. “Alright, I’ll prepare a big gift and visit Lu Li tomorrow!”

“But… even if Lu Li is willing to help, what if Lu Si still refuses to let us off? What should we do then?”

“I have a plan!” Lin’s mother’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope. She looked at her niece standing next to her, who was a stunning beauty. She took her niece’s hand and said, “Niaoniao, you know about your cousin’s situation. Are you willing to help your aunt with this favor?”

Fu Niao turned red in the face the moment she heard Lu Si’s name, and now that her aunt had brought it up, she quickly nodded. “I have an obligation to help Cousin get out of this situation.”

“That’s great!” Lin’s mother exclaimed with joy. “Honey, tomorrow, take Niaoniao with you! Let her say a few good words to Lu Si. Who knows, if Lu Si is in a good mood, he might agree!”

Fu Niao had a stunning appearance, the type of beauty that turned heads wherever she went within their social circle. It was rare to find a rich young man who wasn’t smitten with her.

Lin’s mother was confident that by allowing Fang Niao to approach Lu Si, they could use her to their advantage.

Which man didn’t like good-looking women?

Especially when she was seeking his help and taking the initiative to come to him?

If their Lin family could use this to arrange a marriage with Master Si, their status would definitely rise, and this bad situation might even turn into a good one.

She thought it through clearly and immediately had someone custom-make a beautiful dress for Fu Niao, and she also had someone carefully design her hairstyle.

Everything was ready.

The next day, Lin’s father set out for the Lu family with Fu Niao in tow.

“Why did you insist that I come here immediately?” Mei Shu asked the man walking beside her.

This man had once again had Jiang He drive to her school’s entrance to talk to her in person, claiming that there was something urgent to discuss.

Mei Shu had a good relationship with Lu Si now, so she didn’t hesitate to follow him. However, no matter how she asked along the way, he refused to reveal a single detail. It was driving her crazy with curiosity.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Lu Si teased, tugging at her wrist and pulling her into a secluded study in the backyard.

“We’re here,” Lu Si announced as he opened the door. The noise of an argument inside the room could no longer be concealed and came crashing towards them.

“I’ll definitely win against her. Teacher, don’t underestimate me!” S’s loud voice was hard to bear even when he wasn’t shouting. Now he was screaming at the top of his lungs..
