Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1276: Watching the Tower Collapse

A few decorative watches.

Yanjing, it seemed like overnight, a storm had abruptly risen.

Old Master Loo never expected that his family would fall so quickly. It seemed like in just a few short hours, everything had dramatically changed, so fast that it left people unable to react.

First, there was a call from his subordinates saying that a batch of smuggled goods was intercepted, and the transaction failed. Then he heard from his youngest daughter that Jiang Conghe had been detained.

Jiang Conghe detained? Such a high-ranking official being detained, even if it hasn’t been publicized, it’s definitely to avoid too much impact.

But he was the most capable connection of the Loo Family. If even he was detained and couldn’t lend a hand, what future did the Loo Family have?

Before Old Master Loo could come up with a response, the prosecutors and anti-smuggling officers came to the door. Even before dawn, they were impatient.

No need for flashy charges, just suspicion of smuggling and selling black market goods was enough to bring him down in defeat.

Old Master Loo sat on the sofa in his house’s hall, wearing a well-fitted Tang suit, both hands resting on his usual dragon-headed cane, his face full of authority.

He was still thinking about where the family’s downfall started, why it happened so quickly, as if they had been waiting for this day all along.

Indeed, they were waiting for this day. Many people, it seems, had been waiting for such a day, haven’t they?

”Old Master Loo, please.” The anti-smuggling officer stood coldly in front of Old Master Loo and said, ”Considering your age, please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Old Master Loo said nothing, stood up, and followed them out of the Loo Family residence.

Outside, the sky was already bright, the sunlight glaring, mildly stinging his eyes, causing him to stumble slightly.

A person involved in interrogation supported him: ”Be careful, old master!”

Be careful, can there still be any caution?

Old Master Loo walked down the steps, then stopped again, one hand behind his back, the other holding the cane, looking back.

The wide-open gate vaguely showed people moving around inside the house; those were the evidence collectors.

Looking at the entrance again, a large ”Loo” character, marking the past glory of the Loo Family, also demonstrating his meticulous management over the years, a lifetime of effort.

And so, it’s all ended here!

Old Master Loo suddenly felt like laughing, but only felt a wave of desolation in his heart. He was born into poverty, relying on his own efforts to build the Loo Family up to what it was today. He thought it could prosper for a few generations, but wealth and prosperity have come only so far!

The Loo Family, begun with him, and ended with him.

”Let go of me! What right do you have to arrest me? What crime have I committed?” Lu Zhenhua’s voice came from the door: ”I know nothing, don’t arrest me!”

Old Master Loo looked at his panicked son and sighed inwardly.

Perhaps it was precisely because his descendants weren’t as astute and decisive as he was, there was no promising heir to support the family, leading to today’s downfall.

”Dad, quickly tell them that I know nothing. Dad!” Lu Zhenhua’s eyes brightened when he saw the old master.

”Why panic? The government will give us justice.” Old Master Loo glanced at him indifferently, turned and got into the car, looking out again, seeing the neighbors pointing at them.

Back then, when the family moved into this grand mansion, guests filled the house; wasn’t it the subject of envy and admiration?

Now, they watch as the tower rises, watch as guests are entertained, watch as the tower collapses!

Old Master Loo slowly closed his eyes, afraid that he might never be able to return and see this home again!
