"Oops, I made a mistake, I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, where's Yanci? Why didn't he come with you?"
Several people gathered around to ask questions, trying to smooth over the awkward situation.
Shang Wu gripped her phone tightly, glancing at them, then at the seats arranged behind them, and at all the high-society figures who had been invited.
At this point, even if Zhou Yanci escapes, the truth must be revealed.
Shang Wu quickly calmed down and revealed a faint smile.
“He’s not coming anymore; to be precise, he can no longer come as my fiancé.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more puzzled.
"Why? Did you two have a fight and break up?"
"That's right, that's right. It's rare for everyone to get together to celebrate. You're getting married soon, so you can't let us down."
Shang Wu didn't say anything. Amidst the curious and gossipy gazes of the crowd, she walked onto the stage and casually sent a message to her bodyguard.
Find him.
She put her phone back in her pocket, lowered her eyes, and looked at the sea of people below the stage.
In the crowd, Lu Rang frowned and asked with his eyes.
Shang Wu pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Lu Rang's expression turned slightly cold as he left while still on the phone.
There's no need for many words between them; a single glance or gesture is enough for them to understand each other.
Lu Rang sent people to look for Zhou Yanci; they should be able to find him soon.
Shang Wu composed herself and looked at everyone again.
"Since Zhou Yanci can't be here, let's show everyone something to pass the time."
She reached out and pressed a button on the control panel on the table.
The large screen on the rooftop suddenly lit up.
The sound emanated from the speakers, penetrating the entire venue.
"Mianmian, don't worry, I'll dump her in a month. I never had any real feelings for her. I just thought she was good at designing jewelry and wanted to keep her in the company to boost my performance."
"Shangwu is a tool for me to secure my position as heir. Only you, you are my true love."
"All that pampering and love for her was just an act. I had to get the media involved to make it so that everyone would talk about it."
"I'll kick her out and make you the CEO's wife, okay..."
Before the recording was even finished, the crowd had already erupted in chaos.
Gasps of surprise and disbelief rose and fell, accompanied by whispers of disbelief.
"What's going on? Is that Zhou Shao's voice?"
"My God, how could he do this? He's been taking advantage of Shang Wu all this time."
"Her family has already suffered enough, and you still scheme against her like this? Are you even human...?"
This recording is from a while ago.
Shang Wu installed a listening device in the office, and aside from hearing the two people's disgusting entanglements, that was all the useful information she could get.
She remained expressionless and pressed the control button again.
The screen flickered, and then the image appeared.
It was taken from a hidden camera angle.
Evidence provided by Zhao Yixin.
In the video, Zhou Yanci and several senior students who fabricated the evidence back then gathered together, their expressions solemn.
“Things have been turbulent lately. The Inspectorate has started investigating and questioning us one by one, and coincidentally, they've all brought up business matters.” one of them said.
Zhou Yanci looked on warily and tapped the table: "It's good that you didn't say anything about it being exposed. The case of the merchant must not be discovered. If my setting up the merchant is exposed, you won't be able to escape either. Protecting me is protecting yourselves."
The group nodded in agreement.
"We all understand."
Zhao Yixin deliberately started to guide the conversation: "And there's Shang Wu's brother. You also need to be careful about sending someone to deliberately molest Shang Wu and provoke her brother into hitting her."
"Yes, but this matter should not be brought up again. Li Chengzhang is already in prison, and no one would think that the claim that he was beaten by Shang Yunshen to the point of being unable to have children was a lie, and that he actually had infertility."
When Zhou Yanci said this, she showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, her eyes held a hint of relief and smugness.
It was as if he was showing off how ingenious his plan was.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's work together and make sure we don't get picked off one by one."
The group stood up and clinked glasses, and the video ended there.
The recording had already shocked everyone, and now seeing this video has given everyone an unprecedented shock.
The rooftop was deathly silent.
Everyone looked at Shang Wu with complicated and sympathetic eyes.
Tang Xueli stood below the stage, covering her mouth, her eyes red with heartache.
"This is simply a beast! Zhou Yanci actually harmed Shang Wu's entire family!"
"They're inhuman! They devoured the merchants, then sent the young master to prison, and tricked Shang Wu into making money for them. Disgusting!"
A barrage of accusations overwhelmed Shangwu.
She stood on the stage, her gaze sweeping over the angry crowd, and played the next video.
They were the maid and doctor who took care of her father.
They lowered their heads and rubbed their hands, looking completely helpless and guilty.
Shang Wu's voice rang out from behind the camera angle.
"Explain clearly, what exactly happened to my father who has been continuously ill for the past three years, to the point that he had to be admitted to a nursing home?"
The maid answered with difficulty: "It was...it was President Zhou who instructed us to poison you. He said that only if your father was sick and he sent people to take good care of him could you be more grateful to him and devote yourself wholeheartedly to the jewelry department."
The doctor said, "Yes, this stuff won't endanger your life, but it will make you feel weak, lose your appetite, and feel nauseous. That's how he keeps your parents from leaving the countryside."
Shang Wu has already seen this evidence.
Even now, my fingers still tremble uncontrollably.
That's enough.
It's such a pity that Zhou Yanci isn't here, didn't participate in this trial, and wasn't nailed to the pillar of shame by everyone's eyes.
