Chapter 128: Miss Lu Misses Me (10) But since her father had no idea about the forty-million-yuan transaction, there had to be a reasonable excuse for him to transfer the money to the other party through his private account. Otherwise, where did the forty million yuan come from?

Hence, the key was to figure out where the money came from.

With that thought in mind, Lu Manman quickly checked the accounts from last year’s transaction and did a thorough analysis.

She went through the accounts two or three times.

She covered her aching temples in dismay, having no idea where the problem lied.

First, there was no accounting for the forty million yuan.

Second, there was a clear list of purchases in the accounts, and all income was backed by the accounts and system. There was no way to reduce income, and the risk was too high. After all, no one would be that foolish to pay out forty million yuan.

She took a deep breath and got off the couch.

It was already nighttime, and the lights outside the window had already been turned on.

She stayed in the office for the entire afternoon and night, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Did she think too highly of herself?

Did she overestimate her capabilities, or did she underestimate her opponents?

Being able to prepare everything so well and flawlessly was not an easy feat to achieve. Moreover, she did not have much time. She was sure that if she did not compromise, the Wen family would find a way to get the police to file a lawsuit against her father.

If her father was sentenced, it would be at least ten times more difficult to rescue him from prison.

She was about to break down.

She was not a business prodigy. In her previous life, because of Wen Yun’s area of development, she had been in touch with the political arena, the rich, and the like most of the time. She had almost never been involved in business, which was why her family business had been so easily taken away by Wen Yun.

But at this point, with such a tricky business crime appearing out of nowhere, she was getting anxious.

“Miss Lu, do you need to knock off?” Qin Ao asked respectfully in the office.

Only then did she notice him.

It was already ten in the evening. She had no appetite, but that did not mean that others did not.

She said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I was delayed by some matters. Let’s knock off now.”

“Mr. Mo said before that I have to take care of Miss Lu’s safety and daily needs. You’ve been working for so long and haven’t had dinner,” Qin Ao said very seriously.

Lu Manman was stunned. She did not expect Mo Yuanxiu to care about this.

Or had he said it on a whim?

Given Qin Ao’s character, he would surely abide by whatever he said!

“As expected, Mo Yuanxiu wants you to monitor me.” She forced a smile and concluded.

Qin Ao kept quiet.

He liked to use this method whenever he could not continue the conversation.

Although they had not known each other for long, she seemed to have gotten used to spending time with him.

She casually tidied her desk. “Let’s knock off.”

He nodded.

The two of them left the quiet company.

She had just reached the entrance when a group of reporters suddenly swarmed forward.

She was shocked to see this scene.

Qin Ao hurried forward and pulled her behind him.

The reporter’s camera flashed especially brightly in the dark. An anxious voice was heard from an incoming reporter. “Miss Lu, why was your father suddenly taken away by the police? Is it convenient to reveal the reason?”

“Miss Lu, there are rumors that your father is involved with the deputy chief of the Planning Bureau, right?”

“Miss Lu, do you have anything to say about your father’s sudden investigation? Will you be disappointed in him? Will you feel ashamed to have such a father?”

“Miss Lu, your Lu Firm has been the top of the four families in Wen City for so long, and yet such ugly news was exposed. Have you thought about the social media? Will your Lu family still have a place in Wen City?”

“Miss Lu, will your father’s case affect your marriage with Mo Yuanxiu? After all, your marriage is coming up soon. Will he call it off? Have you considered the consequences?”

There were too many confusing voices.

Lu Manman was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

She really did not want to bother with these reporters, but their harsh words made her hair stand on end.

She took a deep breath and was about to say something.

At that moment, a low male voice sounded from the darkness. He enunciated each word clearly and said, “No matter what, it won’t affect my marriage with Lu Manman!”
