Lu Hongjun was taken to assist with the investigation, and after being interrogated for two days, no issues were found. Additionally, Ding Jing admitted to taking bribes, and the evidence was irrefutable, so denial was useless. However, she claimed that she had accepted the gifts without Lu Hongjun's knowledge, and he was unaware of her actions.
Investigators found two sets of gold jewelry and a passbook with a balance of one thousand three hundred, as well as twenty-eight thousand yuan in cash at Lu Hongjun's home. The source of the one thousand three hundred was legitimate, but the two sets of gold jewelry and the twenty-eight thousand yuan were received as bribes. Other than that, nothing else was found.
Once it was confirmed that Lu Hongjun had truly not embezzled or taken bribes, and had not violated any rules, he was released. But upon returning home and seeing the bleakness of the house, his heart felt icy cold.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
