After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 143 Grandpa's Old Friend

Lu Wenguang tried to call Lu Mingxuan, but his phone was switched off.

"Huh? What's going on? Why aren't the two kids answering the phone?"

Then Lu Wenguang called his son Lu Xinjun's office, and someone answered: "Hello!"

Where is Lu Xinjun?

"Oh, you mean our hospital director? He has surgery this afternoon."

Upon hearing that Lu Xinjun had surgery, Lu Wenguang then asked, "Where's Lu Mingxuan? Why can't I get through to him on the phone?"

The person answering the phone was Director Xia Ying, who manages logistics. She usually handles the matters in the dean's office.

"Are you talking about Dean Lu? Please wait a moment while I ask him for you."

There were two telephones in the dean's office. Xia Ying, who was on the other side, quickly picked up the other telephone and called the surgery department.

A voice came from the other end: "Does Dean Lu have any surgeries this afternoon?"

"Yes! His surgery is at four o'clock."

After hearing a reply from the other end, Xia Ying quickly called Lu Wenguang: "Sir, Dean Lu is also having surgery and may not have his phone with him."

Upon learning that his son and grandson were both undergoing surgery, Lu Wenguang quickly told Tao Meiling, "My grandson is having surgery right now. I'll call later. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Song Jianguo's improved condition relieved Tao Meiling considerably. She agreed and returned to the bedroom to take care of her husband.

Song Qiao was locked in solitary confinement for a day. At noon, the police brought her boxed lunches, but she had no appetite and didn't eat them. After Zhang Hua left in the afternoon, she felt hungry and ate all the steamed buns that were brought for dinner.

Song Qiao spent the day inside thinking a lot, from her past life to this one, feeling like a failure, unable to escape Jiang Ming's schemes.

The scene from high school flashed before her eyes again.

In her first and second years of high school, her grades were excellent. However, after she started dating Jiang Ming in her third year, her grades dropped significantly. On the other hand, Zhao Xiaoya's grades improved from poor to above average.

Looking back now, Jiang Ming had already gotten together with Zhao Xiaoya back then. She was just a stepping stone for the two of them in the future. Once they reached the position they wanted, they would kick her aside.

In her previous life, she foolishly believed that Jiang Ming was someone who could protect her from the wind and rain, but in reality, he was the one who stabbed her in the back.

The solitary confinement cell gradually darkened, and after a while the lights came on automatically.

Song Qiao sat on the only wooden bed in the room, wondering: What is Lu Mingxuan doing?

When Zhang Hua came, she told him that Lu Mingxuan wanted to visit her, but was stopped.

Four hours later, Lu Mingxuan came out of the operating room. The girl's heart surgery was a success. After opening the operating room door and giving a few instructions to the family, he hurriedly returned to his office to change his clothes.

Looking at the time, Song Qiao had been at the police station for over ten hours. Just imagine how helpless she must have felt during those hours. Lu Mingxuan changed his clothes, and without even eating, drove out of the hospital.

On the way, he saw a missed call from his grandfather, and he immediately called back.

The other end answered immediately: "Xiao Xuan, I heard you have surgery this afternoon?"

"Yes, I just finished. Grandpa, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I just wanted to tell you that your judgment was correct. Song Jianguo is conscious and should wake up around tonight."

Finally hearing some good news, Lu Mingxuan exclaimed, "That's wonderful!"

"Song Qiao's mother called Song Qiao but she didn't answer. She's a little worried about her. Are you with her?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan suddenly remembered his plan to meet Song Qiao tonight and asked, "Is Aunt Tao next to you?"

"No! Did something happen to Song Qiao?"

"Grandpa, come to the study and I'll tell you about Song Qiao."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenguang agreed, picked up his phone, and went into the study, since Tao Meiling usually didn't come to the study to disturb him.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Grandpa, isn't the police chief your friend's son? Please tell him quickly that I need to see Song Qiao. She was taken away by the police as soon as she returned from Yushan."

Lu Wenguang, sitting opposite him, hurriedly asked, "Why? Why did they take my granddaughter-in-law away?"

"It was Song Qiao's ex-husband, Jiang Ming, who took the child away from the correctional facility and hid him. He then accused Song Qiao of selling the child. Because of this, Song Qiao and her assistant were both imprisoned."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenguang angrily asked from the other end, "What is Jiang Ming trying to do?"

"What do you want to do? Send Song Qiao to the police station. Uncle Song is unconscious right now. Isn't the company his?"

"Dare he?"

Lu Wenguang hated such unscrupulous people his whole life, and his beard bristled with anger upon hearing this.

"Grandpa, I haven't seen Song Qiao all day. I want to go to the police station to see her, but they wouldn't let me when I went there at noon. Please call Director Zhang quickly and let me see Song Qiao."

In his heart, Song Qiao had never suffered such injustice. The thought of her being locked up there made his heart ache inexplicably.

“You wait, I’ll call Zhang Weifeng right now and have him call his son. If he makes things difficult for my granddaughter-in-law, I’ll cut ties with Zhang.”

After ending the call with Lu Mingxuan, Lu Wenguang then called Zhang Weifeng, the father of Police Chief Zhang Yunqian.

The call was answered: "Old Lu, how have you been lately?"

"It's alright. I've prepared all the medicinal wine you requested. When are you coming?"

Zhang Weifeng used to be the director of the power supply bureau. He was one of the first college students to be recommended for university admission in the last century. The two of them majored in different fields in college.

"How about in a few days? I feel bad about always coming to your place to freeload."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You'll owe me nothing if you do me a favor."
