Chapter 185 The old lady called for backup? The person was arrested on the spot!

Wang Min's performance continued; she held the sign, her brows furrowed, looking as if she were deep in thought.

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something earth-shattering, she clapped her hands!

"Oh! I remember now!"

She surveyed the entire room, her voice loud enough for everyone in every corner to hear clearly.

“This ‘Huo’…this surname…”

"Could it be that traitor from over twenty years ago, the leader of the 'Lone Eagle' squad who caused such a stir in the city? I think his surname was Huo!"

boom!

These words froze the air in the entire club!

traitor!

Captain Lone Eagle!

Huo Shouzhen!

This name, buried for over twenty years, this name that represents shame and betrayal, has been so brutally exposed! (Huo Shouzheng's case was only addressed on Hainan Island; due to the passage of time, the news did not spread in a timely manner.)

All the ladies' expressions changed, and their gazes suddenly turned to a woman in the corner who had been pale and trembling since the beginning.

Chu Yanran!

To erect a memorial tablet for a traitor in the afterlife?

It's been hidden for over twenty years?

This...this is even more outrageous and terrifying than anything described in storybooks!

Under the gaze of countless disdainful, terrified, and disgusted eyes, Chu Yanran's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

"It wasn't me! It wasn't mine!"

She screamed and lunged forward like a madwoman, reaching out to snatch the memorial tablet from Wang Min's hand.

"Give it back! Give it back to me!"

Her crazy act of admitting her own wrongdoing completely confirmed that the memorial tablet belonged to her!

Wang Min's bodyguards immediately stepped forward, blocking her like an iron tower, preventing her from getting any closer.

Wang Min looked at Chu Yanran, who seemed to be going crazy, her face full of "heartache and indignation".

She earnestly advised, "Yanran, what's wrong with you? Calm down!"

“I know you were naive when you were young, but… but he was a traitor after all! How could you erect such a document for him? If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might think you're colluding with enemy agents! That's a capital offense!”

Wang Min's words were piercing to the heart!

She not only pointed out Chu Yanran's delusional fantasies, but also directly elevated the matter to the level of "enemy accomplice"!

The surrounding ladies were terrified and instinctively backed away, afraid of having any connection with Chu Yanran. They looked at her as if she were a walking plague.

This fatal isolation and accusations became the final straw that broke Chu Yanran's back.

Driven to the brink of madness, her beautiful face contorted with jealousy and rage, she pointed at Wang Min and launched into a tirade:

"What do you know! What do you know!"

"He should have been mine! It was that bitch! That bitch stole him from me!"

"You all deserve to die!"

These insane words completely exposed her darkest secret and stripped her of any remaining dignity.

The entire tea party turned into a complete farce.

In the end, Chu Yanran was dragged out of the club by the security guards like a dead dog, under everyone's watchful eyes.

Her screams and curses still echoed in the corridor.

In less than half a day.

The shocking scandal of the eldest daughter of the Chu family being infatuated with a traitor for more than twenty years, and even setting up a memorial tablet for his private ghost marriage, spread like wildfire throughout the upper-class circles of the capital.

The Chu family, a family that once considered itself a "pure and upright" family, became a huge laughing stock overnight.

The Chu family's old residence.

Chu Yanran was ordered to stay at home by the old lady Chu. She locked herself in her room, where the sounds of things being smashed and hysterical wailing could be heard.

The living room was dimly lit.

Old Mrs. Chu sat upright in the armchair. Her wrinkled face no longer held the kindness and composure of the past, but only gloom and ruthlessness.

She knew this was no accident.

From the conflict at the state-run restaurant to today's farcical tea party, this is a premeditated, systematic attack against the Chu family!

She closed her eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally picked up the red phone beside her.

After the call connected, she gave the order in a cold, emotionless tone.

"Old Ma? It's me."

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Investigate everyone who has been close to that new daughter-in-law of the Gu family lately, especially that gossipy Wang Xiuan!"

"I want everyone to know the consequences of offending the Chu family!"

...

Meanwhile, at the Gu family study.

Gu Zhengfeng was calmly sipping his tea, having already anticipated that the Chu family would resort to desperate measures.

He put down his teacup and said to Gu Beichen beside him, "It's time to hand over the things your uncle prepared."

"Remember, deliver it directly to the leader's desk through the most secure secret channel."

"I want to show some people what it means to have a long and inescapable net of justice!"

...

Military Discipline Inspection Commission Office.

A director surnamed Ma had just finished a phone call with Old Mrs. Chu, and a fawning yet sinister smile appeared on his face.

He was just about to call his men to investigate Deputy Commander Wang's home when the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside!

Minister Zhou, Director Ma's superior, walked in with two heavily armed guards, his face ashen.

"Director Ma!" Minister Zhou's voice was icy cold.

Director Ma's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up: "Minister Zhou... Minister, what brings you here?"

Minister Zhou ignored his solicitousness, simply took a document from his briefcase, and slammed it onto his desk.

"You've been suspended."

"Come with us."

"Someone has filed a formal complaint against you, alleging that you abused your power to protect the families of enemy agents and leak military intelligence!"

Director Ma's mind went blank for a moment.

Protecting the families of enemy agents?

Leaking military intelligence?

Once this label is pinned on him, his life is over!

His legs gave way and he collapsed into the chair. Two guards unceremoniously lifted him up and dragged him out of the office.

The Chu family's old residence.

After hanging up the phone, Grandma Chu waited quietly for good news.

She believed that as long as she used the connections she had cultivated over decades, dealing with a young girl and a group of gossipy women would be as easy as crushing an ant.

However, what she received was the phone ringing urgently again.

The housekeeper answered the phone, listened for a few words, his face turned ashen, and he scrambled to her side.

"Madam...madam, something terrible has happened..."

"Director Ma... he... he's been arrested!"

"What?!"

Grandma Chu suddenly stood up, and the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand fell to the ground with a "crack," scattering the beads all over the floor.

The butler said, trembling, "The charge is... that he is harboring the family members of enemy agents..."

"The call was made secretly by Director Ma's secretary. He said... that the higher-ups have given a direct order that no amount of pleading will help, and that you... you'd better watch yourself..."
