Chapter 221 Engagement Turmoil (2)
Although they handled it promptly, many people still saw it.
Those were the suffering Luo Zhiwei endured under Zhao Tingguo's rule, 'proof' of her struggle to survive, a life neither human nor ghost.
"Luo Zhiwei, the Wang family patriarch has taken a liking to you. Marrying him is already a great honor for you!"
"Luo Zhiwei, you're a shameless slut! What are you pretending to be, this virtuous and chaste woman? The man I found for you, you'd better obediently submit to him, or else... I'll kill you!"
"Please, no, no..."
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, let me go, let me go..."
...Those painful memories flooded back one after another, and Luo Zhiwei gripped Lu Jingxiao's hand tightly.
Why? Zhao Tingguo and Lin Wanru are already in jail, so who would have these things?
Ignoring everything else, Lu Jingxiao pulled her into his arms, one hand stroking Weiwei's back and the other tightly holding the back of her head, his voice magnetic and gentle: "Weiwei, be good. I'm here, I'm here. No one will hurt you anymore, no one will hurt you..."
His eyes were bloodshot as he held her in his arms, comforting her gently, afraid that Weiwei would fall into despair again.
He had mentally prepared himself because of Weiwei's abuse at the hands of Zhao Tingguo, but... when he saw Weiwei being bullied by those scumbags, he wanted nothing more than to tear them to pieces!
Gu Yulin stood up angrily, and his bodyguards immediately surrounded everyone present.
[My God, what is this? Was Luo Zhiwei assaulted before?]
[Luo Zhiwei is already tainted, yet the Lu family still married her. I wonder what methods she used.]
Why are we being left here? We haven't done anything.
[Luo Zhiwei's past misconduct is her own business; it's normal for it to be exposed. Why are you making things difficult for us?]
Release us immediately!
Gu Yulin glared at everyone with a sinister look, his violent tendencies making him unable to control himself: "All of you shut up! Who did this? Step forward! If you want to leave today, you'd better hand over the person. Otherwise... my Gu family will invite you all for tea."
What does this mean, and what does it have to do with the Gu family?
[A shameless woman who's been played with so much, yet the Lu and Gu families are protecting her like this—she's really got some nerve!]
Let us go! Let us go now!
Gu Yulin's face darkened. He pointed at the woman who had just insulted his sister and ordered his bodyguards to drag her out.
"Hey, why are you grabbing me? I didn't do anything, you can't touch me."
She was thrown in front of Gu Yulin, who slapped her across the face in an almost pathological act of revenge: "What did you just say about my sister?"
"What?"
What sister?
Luo Zhiwei is actually Gu Yulin's sister?
How could that be!
"Luo Zhiwei is your sister?"
Gu Yulin seemed to have been prepared for this. He roared at everyone, "You all remember this: Luo Zhiwei is the apple of my eye in the Gu family, my own cousin. Anyone who dares to bully her will be going against me!"
【What! 】
What does this mean? I don't quite understand.
Isn't Luo Zhiwei Luo Huining's daughter? How come...?
No, is this the time to worry about that? We're all trapped here and can't leave.
Liang Yu and Bai Wenyu were already in tears, and even Old Madam Gu almost fainted. If no one had been there to keep them company, the engagement banquet would have been in complete chaos.
"Who did this? Who did this? Get out here! If I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"
Liang Yu was furious!
"Gu Yulin, investigate this thoroughly!"
They were searching for the murderer, but Lu Jingxiao did nothing but comfort Luo Zhiwei: "It's okay, baby. I told you, you'll always be my baby. The past is in the past. I know you didn't hurt yourself, and they didn't do anything to you. Baby, don't be afraid, I'm here. Your Lu Jingxiao will always be here."
Luo Zhiwei's anxious heart seemed to be repaired little by little. She didn't seem to hear clearly what Lu Jingxiao said, but... she knew that Lu Jingxiao would not despise her.
Standing in front of Lu Jingxiao, Gu Youran couldn't help but say, "I'll call Weiwei's therapist right now, I..."
"Then hurry up and hit him!" Lu Jingxiao shouted sternly!
Gu Youran was startled. Just as she dialed the number, Luo Zhiwei refused in a hoarse voice, "No...no need, Ranran, I'm fine..."
Her face was already pale and swollen, but apart from tears welling up in her eyes, there was not a trace of fear.
Gu Youran was still a little worried and insisted on making a phone call, but Li Huaijin stopped her in the end.
Luo Zhiwei looked at Li Huaijin gratefully, then spoke softly to Gu Youran: "Ranran, I'm really fine. I've been running away for so long, it's time to make a clean break."
We can't be haunted by these nightmares forever.
She needs to face it.
Standing behind Luo Zhiwei, Lu Jingxiao also instructed Gu Youran: "Don't fight yet, but you can have a psychologist prepare."
Gu Youran then gave up.
Luo Zhiwei turned to look at the LED screen. Although it had been smashed by Lu Jingxiao, it had still served as a medium to expose her secret.
Perhaps when she decided to be with Lu Jingxiao, she was already prepared to face these things...
So, she was just having trouble accepting it for a moment, but now she's fine.
Her voice drifted out softly: "Go ahead and search. The person is in here. Focus on the waiters."
Luo Zhiwei didn't know what was wrong with her, but she had a premonition that Zhao Yulan had probably returned.
We need to find these people first before we can get them to leave.
"Big brother, elder brother, President Li..." Luo Zhiwei looked at them.
Li Huaijin was unusually serious. He looked at Luo Zhiwei and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you just call me brother? Anyway, you have to call me brother. You wait, all of us brothers will protect you."
Gu Yulin quickly added, "I'll have all the waiters brought over. We'll definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."
This was their major mistake; they were absolutely certain of success, but they still made a mistake at the crucial moment.
Everyone was stunned as the waiters were being dragged over one by one.
"Anyone who's near the control panel today, step forward honestly!"
The head bodyguard roared at everyone, but the waiters looked at each other blankly, having no idea what was going on.
"President Lu, President Gu, we don't know anything. We won't go to the control panel if no one is there."
"I want to go home. I just came here to earn money part-time. I...I don't know anything about it."
......
Just as they were chattering away, Wei Mingfeng walked up to everyone with a copy of the surveillance footage.
He calmly and deliberately described, "Mr. Lu, all the surveillance footage has been retrieved. It was a waitress who deliberately approached and switched the original USB drive. In addition, the main control panel cannot be turned off because someone is manipulating it from behind. This was a premeditated act."
With each word Wei Mingfeng uttered, Lu Jingxiao's face darkened. His eyes were menacing, and his clear voice was filled with anger: "Investigate! Don't let a single one escape!"
Someone tried to hide, but a colleague seemed to have noticed and immediately turned around and grabbed the masked waitress who was trying to escape.
"Xiao Zhao, didn't you go to the main control panel? I saw it!"
