Lu Yuchen paused slightly as he was about to open the door. He turned his gaze to Lu Wenjing, and after receiving the signal to stay put, he sat back down on the sofa.

Lu Wenjing lowered his head and sent a message to the person at the door, then calmly turned on the recorder and said in a cold voice, "What do you want to say?"

Lu Rongyu stood stiffly, her chest heaving with resentment and anger, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Yanli's patience finally ran out, and he impatiently called out to Lu Yuchen, "Eldest cousin, open the door and let the police in."

"good."

As Lu Yucheng nodded in agreement, he made a gesture as if to stand up, but before he could take a step, Lu Rongyu called out urgently, "Wait a minute!"

Seeing Lu Yuchen's actions, Lu Rongyu dared not think any further. Her voice was urgent and sharp: "Don't open the door! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Lu Yuchen sat back down, rolled his eyes, and urged in an unpleasant tone, "Then hurry up and say it! Stop dawdling, we don't have time to waste on you!"

A sinister glint flashed in Lu Rongyu's eyes. Considering the occasion, she quickly prepared her words. The next second, her eyes gradually turned crimson, and tears rolled down her cheeks: "It was all Grandma's fault... Lu Yanhua made me do this. She said that your return would threaten my position and hers. In order to make you disappear from the Lu family, she had to find a way to kill you. She... she said that only if you died could she and I continue to stay in the Lu family."

“I tried to dissuade her countless times, but Grandma wouldn’t listen. If I got angry, she would hit me. So I didn’t dare to fight back and could only watch helplessly as Grandma contacted those…those killers to kill my sister. These days, I’ve been in a lot of pain. I’m sorry, sister, I was too weak. If…if I were stronger, I could have stopped Grandma.”

"That time on the resort island, I brought sleeping pills. Grandma told me to find a way to ruin your reputation, which is why I went to your house in the middle of the night. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to complete Grandma's task. I wanted to... to drug those men and put them in your house so that when the live stream started the next day, I could... complete Grandma's task. I'm sorry, sister, I was too scared."

She looked up at Lu Wenjing, then lowered her head again, feigning unease, and choked out, "Brother Wenjing, at the ancestral hall... it wasn't that I wanted to hurt you, but Grandma knew our second episode was in Yunling Village, and before she left, she specifically told me to find a way to keep you there. I didn't want to, but... but Grandma threatened me that if I didn't do it, I would be the one who died in Yunling Village. I didn't want to hurt you either, Brother Wenjing."

She cried so hard she couldn't speak for a while. After wiping away her tears and calming down, she continued, her eyes still brimming with tears, "I did go to the fire. When I saw my sister, Wen Jing, and Yan Li inside, I panicked and wanted to go in and save you, but the fire was too big and I couldn't get in. I wasn't the one who stabbed Wen Jing; it was someone Grandma hired. I didn't dare disobey Grandma. I... I just wanted to survive."

She shook her head sadly, her voice filled with guilt and fear: "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please don't hand me over to the police."

Lu An'an listened to Lu Rongyu's words, her expression indescribable.

[Lu Yanhua has earned the title of scapegoat tonight; all the blame she's been caught in tonight must be burying her alive!]

A thin layer of frost covered Lu Wenjing's face, and his chilling words rang out in the air: "Lu Rongyu, since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then you should go to the police station and explain to the police."

Lu Rongyu lowered her head, hiding her gloomy eyes. She pursed her lips, trying her best to suppress the anger and resentment surging in her heart, and said in a stiff tone, "I'm telling the truth."

Lu Yanli chuckled: "What a truth! You're so sure your grandmother can't stand up to you, so you're putting all the blame on her, aren't you?"

"Lu Rongyu, it seems we underestimated you. You're not entirely stupid to come up with such a favorable argument for yourself in such a short time."

Lu Rongyu deliberately put on a confused and bewildered look, her eyes glistening with tears. She looked at Lu Yanli, her voice trembling with a hint of insistence: "Brother Yanli, I... I didn't. Everything I said is true, there's absolutely no lie."

Lu Yanli merely twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, then turned to look at Lu Wenjing: "Brother, let's contact the police directly. There's no need to waste time here. We have enough evidence already."

Lu Wenjing pursed his lips and replied, "Yes, the police just arrived, and I've already had them bring those three over."

Lu Yanli nodded slightly, "Alright, then take her out with you. Letting her stand here all this time is making our house feel unlucky."

Madam Lu spoke gently, but her words were anything but polite: "Hmm, have someone sweep it thoroughly with pomelo leaves later to get rid of the bad luck."

Lu Rongyu's fingers clenched into fists inside her sleeves, her nails almost digging into her palms, her anger and hatred raging like a storm.

She vowed that she would repay them tenfold, a hundredfold, for all the humiliation she had suffered in the Lu family! She would kill Lu An'an, and every single person in the Lu family!

Lu An'an, who had been observing Lu Rongyu from the side, naturally did not miss Lu Rongyu's hateful expression. She secretly sneered in her heart, a look of contempt flashing across her eyes, and did not take her seriously.

[Overestimating oneself; why always try to be a clown?]

The bodyguard next to her stepped forward, roughly grabbed Lu Rongyu, and dragged her out of the room.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, I saw three imposing police cars parked silently in the yard, their flashing lights reflecting on the faces of the people with different expressions.
