Everything that happened today felt like a slap in the face. All her expectations were dashed, and the failure to achieve them backfired on her, causing her unbearable pain and utter disgust.

Xia Wan could only keep pinching herself to stay awake.

Lu Yu was displeased: "Niece, I've already said this was just an accident, what are you still making a fuss about? Besides, this is my room, and the one with the problem is Gu Qian. And you, why weren't you with him last night? Aren't you two husband and wife? If you were together, how could this have happened? Xia Wan, I, as your uncle, have already done more than enough for you. I've always considered your needs. You have to speak from your conscience!"

"Stop arguing!" Xia Qingshan pinched his brow. "Let's think about how to resolve this. This matter has already spread."

"Brother-in-law, you have to believe me. My nephew-in-law and I were both framed. Someone must have drugged me last night." No matter how irrational he was, he couldn't possibly lose control of his lower body in such an important situation.

A man can't get an erection when he's drunk, but both he and Gu Qian were acting very strangely last night.

Lu Yu: "And where did those reporters from this morning come from?"

Xia Qingshan naturally knew it was a trap set by someone. His intuition told him that it was either Lu Yan or Zhuang Yan, and that it was definitely related to these two people.

Xia Qingshan: "Those reporters said they came to secretly photograph the president of Yi'an Group. As for why they were here, they said someone gave them directions."

Everyone loves a good spectacle, and it's natural to be curious when people gather in large numbers.

These past two days, Xia Qingshan has been feeling uneasy. He thinks good things won't come, but bad things always seem to happen.

Xia Qingshan: "Call President Zhou and ask him about Lu Yan..."

“Lu Yan wasn’t with him last night,” Xia Wan interrupted him.

Xia Qingshan was taken aback: "Then who is she with?"

“Zhuang Yan”.

“How could she be with Zhuang Yan? I clearly saw her in Zhou Quan’s room last night, she drank so much medicine…” Lu Yu suddenly realized something, “How did you know?”

Xia Wan didn't want to talk about it, but facing their questioning gazes, she forced herself to speak: "Because I saw it this morning, I saw Lu Yan come out of Zhuang Yan's room."

"Which floor are they on?"

"Eighth floor."

"How did you see them from the eighth floor?" Xia Qingshan knew his daughter too well and immediately grasped the key point. "You already knew Zhuang Yan had checked into the hotel, didn't you?"

Xia Wan pursed her lips, tacitly agreeing.

Xia Qingshan was furious: "Since you knew all along, why didn't you tell us? Xia Wan, what are you thinking? You knew perfectly well that Zhuang Yan and our family were at odds and had a grudge, yet you let him run around right under our noses without driving him away. Aren't you obviously trying to see him cause trouble?"

Lu Yu also realized what was happening: "Brother-in-law, Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan set us up last night!"

"Call Zhou Quan."

Lu Yu took a deep breath to compose himself, made the call, and it rang for a while before the other party answered.

"Mr. Zhou... did you sleep well last night?"

"not bad."

A cold tone came from the phone, and Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat. "What about Lu Yan?"

"Mr. Lu, I think you've misunderstood something. Ms. Lu Yan is my friend, and I admire and respect her."

How could it be a misunderstanding? He hinted at so much last night, and Zhou Quan acted as if he was very interested the whole time, even giving him a meaningful look. They're both men, so he couldn't possibly misunderstand him.

But now Lu Yu dared not say anything wrong, and could only tentatively ask with a grim expression, "Then what about our cooperation?"

"Let's forget about cooperation. We have different philosophies, and I particularly despise people who are morally corrupt, have low character, play with women, and corrupt social morals." After saying that, Zhou Quan hung up the phone.

The phone in his hand felt like a red-hot iron. Lu Yu lost his grip, and the phone fell to the ground. His face was deathly pale.

“Brother-in-law, Zhou Quan is in cahoots with them. We’ve been scammed.”

Xia Qingshan had already anticipated this outcome, but he was still so anxious that he coughed up blood.

"Dad—" Xia Wan held him tightly.

Xia Qingshan gripped her wrist tightly, unsure of who to blame, but ultimately he blamed himself.

Why did he trust Lu Yu when he knew he was unreliable? Why wasn't he more careful? There were so many flaws in his story.

Lu Yu: "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I'll have someone check the surveillance footage right now. As long as they find out that they drugged me, I can call the police and have them arrested."

Xia Qingshan coughed up the blood from his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "What you can think of, others have already thought of long ago."

Sure enough, when Lu Yu asked someone to check the surveillance footage, he learned that the surveillance system had been hacked the night before, crashed, and recorded nothing.

At the same time, Lu Yu also saw the online exposure of his alleged affair with a male mistress, and some people came forward to testify that he had forced men to have sex with him on multiple occasions, and that his private life was extremely chaotic.

Before this, there were rumors online that Lu Yu liked men and that he married a wife only to hide these things.

At the time, netizens just treated it as a joke and didn't take it seriously. Now, after watching the live broadcast and seeing the solid evidence, the rumors have been confirmed. The online opinion was already against Lu Yu, and now everyone is kicking him while he's down. Lu Yu is now being condemned by everyone, and even the Xia family has suffered.

The phone lying on the ground kept ringing, all calls from partners and shareholders, prompting Lu Yu to come up with a solution.

What else could Lu Yu think? He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and he was already too busy taking care of himself to manage the company.

He could only place his hopes on Xia Qingshan, kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly: "Brother-in-law, you're the only one who can help me now. Please save me, don't abandon me. I've done all this for you..."

"Get out!" Xia Qingshan gritted his teeth, then stood up with the help of Xia Wan's hand. This was just the beginning; the matter was not over yet.

Like a set of dominoes, one falling down will knock down another, and so on, until they all fall.

"You caused this mess, so you have to deal with it yourself. What can I do for you? Can I kneel down and apologize for you? Your accident with Gu Qian was an accident, but what about the others? Now the victims are coming to your door, and your wife is also accusing you online. I think you should go to jail to reflect on your actions. And you..." Xia Qingshan looked at Gu Qian with half-closed eyes, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"This time, we absolutely have to get a divorce!"

After the incident, Gu Qian had been trying to keep a low profile, treating himself as if he didn't exist. Now that Xia Qingshan was pointing the finger at him, he had no choice but to step forward and face the situation.

"Wanwan, do you want a divorce? Didn't you say that you would face any difficulties with me? Last night was not my fault, I was the victim. If you hadn't brought me here, this wouldn't have happened. Now that I'm in trouble, how can you abandon me like this? Since we got married, I have never done anything to betray you."
