Anger flashed clearly in Gu Xicheng's eyes. Lu Qing squeezed his hand reassuringly, signaling him not to speak and that she could handle it.
"Huang Zeyu, there's no need for dinner. Looking at someone like you, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat," Lu Qing retorted without any politeness.
Huang Zeyu wasn't angry; instead, he smiled again.
"Miss Lu is still as sharp-tongued as ever, which makes me like her even more!"
Lu Qing: "Stop with the nonsense. What exactly is your purpose in helping Meng Siqi deal with me?"
Huang Zeyu suddenly started pretending to be ignorant:
"What Meng Siqi? Miss Lu, what are you talking about? I don't know her!"
Lu Qing scoffed: "Stop pretending! The surveillance cameras have already captured your car. If you didn't recognize her, how could Meng Siqi have gotten into your car?"
Huang Zeyu: "Ms. Lu, I own so many cars, but I don't drive them all. I really don't know the person you're talking about, but..."
Lu Qing frowned slightly: "But what?"
Huang Zeyu: "But if Miss Lu agrees to have dinner with me, I might be able to help you."
Lu Qing hung up the phone immediately.
"That bastard is obviously faking it!"
"Now we can only start with Meng Siqi."
At this moment, Gu Xicheng received a call from his lawyer:
"Mr. Gu, Meng Siqi has agreed to meet. When would be a suitable time for you?"
Gu Xicheng: "The sooner the better."
Lawyer: "Then let's arrange it for 2 PM at the law firm. I will be there the whole time."
"good!"
Gu Xicheng hung up the phone and said to Lu Qing:
"Qingqing, come with me at 2 PM. Let's see what she's up to!"
Lu Qing nodded slightly.
After what happened, no one had much of an appetite for lunch, but Lu Qing was fine; she ate all the food Gu Xicheng ordered.
"Qingqing, you can still eat in this situation, you're really amazing!" Cheng Yiyi gave her a thumbs up.
Lu Qing let out a burp:
"Nothing is more important than eating. If you don't eat your fill, how will you have the strength to fight them?"
Gu Fei looked at the rumors online with concern:
“Qingqing, there are people online criticizing you right now, and it’s even affecting the company’s stock price.”
Lu Qing looked at Gu Xicheng with some concern: "Is the impact on the company very serious?"
Gu Xicheng smiled and comforted him:
"With such a large family fortune as the Gu and Chu families, this little thing won't shake their foundations. Once it's resolved, they'll be back soon."
Lu Qing let out a heavy breath, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.
At 2 p.m., Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing arrived at the law firm on time.
Meng Siqi was already there. When she saw Lu Qing, her first reaction was not anger but fear.
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, already having some guesses in his mind.
After going inside, Meng Siqi waited a while before feigning anger:
"Lu Qing, you liar, you owe me my mother's life!"
Gu Xicheng immediately shielded Lu Qing behind him.
The lawyer quickly stopped her: "Ms. Meng, please calm down!"
After calming down, Meng Siqi sat down, but she didn't dare to look Lu Qing in the eye.
Lu Qing stared at her and asked in a cold voice:
"You say I killed your mother, then I ask you, how did I kill her?"
Meng Siqi: "I... I went to you for fortune telling that day, and you told me to take my mother to another hospital for a check-up. But on the way, my mother fell ill and passed away."
"If you hadn't told me to take my mother to another hospital for further examination, how could she have passed away!"
Lu Qing's brows furrowed involuntarily, her eyes filled with confusion.
"The divination indicates that your mother's illness did not require surgery and was not life-threatening. Are you sure she really died of illness?"
"Of course I'm sure!" Meng Siqi's expression was unusually excited.
Lu Qing looked directly at her and asked again:
Are you really sure your mother died of illness?
Meng Siqi's eyes trembled, and she guiltily avoided Lu Qing's gaze:
"I... I'm sure! You killed my mother, and now you're asking me all sorts of questions. Don't you want to pay compensation?!"
Upon hearing the last two words, Lu Qing smiled.
"Fine! Compensation!"
"Tell me, how much money do you want?"
Meng Siqi blurted out, "Five million!"
Lu Qing laughed again, and Meng Siqi panicked:
"why are you laughing?"
Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "It's nothing, I just feel you didn't order enough."
"Not enough?" Meng Siqi was taken aback:
"You...you can compensate me even more?"
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow and nodded: "Sure!"
"My father is Chu Panshan, and my fiancé is the president of the Gu Group. Let me think..."
Lu Qing asked Gu Xicheng, "How much does all our stuff cost in total?"
Gu Xicheng smiled and said, "I dare not say more, but it should start at least in the tens of billions!"
"Wow! So many!" Lu Qing exclaimed, then looked at Meng Siqi:
"That's why I said you wanted too little!"
A flash of greed quickly crossed Meng Siqi's eyes:
"Then...then I want five hundred million!"
Lu Qing smiled and nodded:
"No problem! But before I give you the money, I need to confirm that your mother really died from an illness. Do you have an autopsy report or something like that?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of panic quickly crossed Meng Siqi's eyes:
“My mother was buried a long time ago, and her body was cremated. There’s no autopsy certificate!”
"How can you be so sure your mother died of illness without an autopsy?"
Lu Qing looked at the lawyer:
"If she wants to sue me for killing her mother, doesn't she need to provide proof?"
The lawyer nodded: "According to the law, it must be provided."
“Ms. Meng, since you say that your mother died because of the delay in treatment caused by Ms. Lu, you must provide a report that can prove the cause of her death. Otherwise, even if you call the police, they will not be able to file a case.”
Meng Siqi was furious and shouted:
"I already told you my mother has been buried, how would I know I needed an autopsy report!"
Lu Qing's lips curled up slightly, but her gaze towards Meng Siqi was cold.
"That's true! An autopsy report is fine, but you should at least provide your mother's medical records and doctor's diagnoses!"
Meng Siqi clenched her hands, her expression becoming even more flustered.
"Miss Meng, you don't even have a doctor's diagnosis, do you?!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer.
At that moment, she received a message on her phone.
After glancing at it, Lu Qing's smile deepened.
"It's okay, I already guessed you wouldn't be able to produce it, so before coming here I asked the police to help me retrieve your mother's medical records. They've just been sent over, would you like to take a look?"
Lu Qing handed the phone to Meng Siqi, but Meng Siqi slapped it away and angrily said:
"Impossible! Those files were clearly already..."
As soon as she said it, she immediately shut her mouth.
Lu Qing looked at her, and his cold gaze made Meng Siqi retreat repeatedly.
"What? Your mother's file has been deleted, hasn't it? That doctor has been bribed, hasn't he?"
“Meng Siqi, do you really think the police station is just sitting around doing nothing? The files have been deleted and restored. Your mother doesn’t have a brain tumor at all; she just has migraines due to overwork.”
"The reason that doctor said she had a brain tumor was because he wanted to make some dirty money and let your mother die on the operating table so that the people who needed her organs could be saved."
"Huang Zeyu is looking for you because your mother's heart is a perfect match for his sister, isn't that right?"
"Stop talking!!!" Meng Siqi covered her ears, shouted, and then collapsed weakly to the ground.
