Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 719: The Game between the Shen and Lu Families

Larry Scott’s move was quick but Madam Lucas’s counterattack was even faster.

Besides Aidan Lucas, several other Lucas family supporters were also arrested by the military.

Those who couldn’t be charged with ‘treason’ were detained by the police station, and they were asked to cooperate in the investigation of various accusations that emerged out of nowhere.

For a time, the Lucas family was filled with fear and anxiety.

However, after Madam Lucas made a phone call,

In less than half an hour, the group of people detained at the police station was released.

Following another phone call, after over an hour, those Lucas family supporters who were arrested by the military were gradually released as well.

When Larry Scott arrived at A City, claiming that he would interrogate Aidan Lucas personally, the entire military could only stubbornly keep Mr. Lucas in custody.

As for the others, they were released cleanly due to the pressure from parliament and higher authorities.

On the way to the military, Madam Lucas sat in the car and said earnestly to Lily Gray, “Lily, do you see? This is the foundation of the Lucas family.”

“Larry Scott’s actual target is Aidan, but after arresting Aidan, he has to work hard to detain everyone else. Why would he do that?”

“In order to guard against other members of the Lucas family from saving Aidan?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Madam Lucas nodded.

“This is because he knows that our family is a whole, and if any part of it is touched, it affects us all. So no one can easily shake the Lucas family. As long as there is one Lucas family member, they will do their best to rescue their own. So, Lily, you must remember that the Lucas family is a whole. Anyone who tries to split the Lucas family will not succeed.”

Lily Gray nodded in agreement, keeping Madam Lucas’s words in her heart.

Madam Lucas looked out of the car window and sighed, “Larry Scott’s approach is actually not wrong, but strangely, he seems to have forgotten to deal with me. If he had arrested me too, it might have taken much longer for the younger generation outside to cope.”

Larry Scott didn’t forget to confront Madam Lucas, though.

He already knew that Madam Lucas was the key to bringing down the Lucas family.

However, first of all, he disdained making a move on an old lady.

Second, his goal was not to bring down the Lucas family.

His goal had always been Lily Gray.

The reason he made a move against the Lucas family was simply because the family had been protecting Lily Gray.

“Granny, do you think Larry Scott’s invitation to meet indicates that he is willing to make concessions?”

It has been more than 10 hours since Aidan Lucas was detained.

Although the reason given by the military was that they found a batch of transactions in the black market controlled by Aidan that posed a threat to national security,

The black market trade had always been tacitly approved by the authorities.

And the responsibility for the prohibited items found in the black market trade had always been pursued by both parties involved.

The batch of items claimed to be harmful to national security was not provided by the Lucas family, and it was said that it was secretly sold by the seller who hid the items in an express package.

This kind of move clearly aimed to frame Aidan Lucas, and it was obvious that it had nothing to do with him.

Madam Lucas patted Lily’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, whether Larry Scott compromises or not, he won’t be able to detain Aidan for too long. Treason always follows the principle of ‘when in doubt, give the benefit of the doubt’, and they have no evidence to accuse Aidan. Even the military can only detain Aidan for a maximum of five days under the circumstances of lack of evidence.”

“What’s more, I will continue to let the parliament put pressure on the military. You can rest assured that after I meet Larry Scott, Aidan should be able to come out.”

As Madam Lucas finished speaking, they arrived at the military.

She got out of the car with Lily Gray, and they were escorted into the military by the soldiers who had been waiting at the entrance.
