Lu Rang acted as if he hadn't seen her or heard her voice at all, and walked straight past her, continuing upstairs without stopping.
Li Li's smile froze, and a chill inexplicably rose in her heart.
In the bedroom, Shang Wu was leaning against the headboard reading a book, but she was clearly restless.
Hearing the door open, she immediately looked up and saw Lu Rang enter with a sullen face, and her heart sank.
"What was the result...?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Lu Rang didn't say anything, but simply handed the test report to her.
Shang Wu took the report, quickly scanned it, and her face instantly turned pale. Her hand holding the report began to tremble uncontrollably.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Rang, her eyes filled with an unprecedented coldness and determination.
"Bring her up here."
Lu Rang nodded and went out, his voice cold and devoid of warmth: "Li Li, come to the master bedroom right now."
A moment later, Li Li came in, her face still showing a hint of confusion and unease at being inexplicably summoned.
She tried to remain calm: "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, what can I do for you?"
Shang Wu sat on the edge of the bed and gently placed the test report beside her.
She didn't immediately retaliate, but instead spoke in a calm tone.
“Sister Li, you’ve been living with us for a while now, and Lu Rang and I have always been sure we’ve treated you well.”
Li Li's heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile and said, "Mrs. Lu, what are you saying? You and Mr. Lu have been very kind to me, and I am very grateful."
"Is that so?" Shang Wu leaned forward slightly, his gaze intense, staring intently into her eyes. "Then tell me, who exactly are you working for? What benefits did they give you that made you dare to do such a heinous thing?"
Li Li's face turned pale instantly.
She instinctively took a half step back, her voice tinged with obvious panic and feigned grievance: "Mrs. Lu! What do you mean by that? I don't understand. I've been taking good care of you! Did someone say something to you? Was it Miss Lu You? She's always been prejudiced against me, last time..."
She tried to shift the blame onto Lu You, a pre-prepared excuse.
"Enough!"
Lu Rang interrupted her sharply, grabbed the test report next to him, and slammed it to the ground in front of her.
"Look for yourself! Look at what good stuff you put in the soup!"
Li Li was startled by Lu Rang's sudden outburst.
She bent down, trembling, to pick up the report. She froze completely, as if struck by lightning, the color draining from her face instantly.
Li Li's lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.
The report in her hand fluttered to the ground, and she slumped down to the floor. The light test report now felt like a heavy burden on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Shang Wu's words about going to jail resounded in her ears like a thunderclap, and she could almost see the iron bars and high walls.
She has worked so hard to get the life she has today, and she absolutely cannot let it be ruined like this!
"No...no! Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu, please! I can't go to jail!"
Li Li burst into tears, her previous composure and pretense completely gone, leaving only fear and the will to survive.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! Please give me a chance!"
Shang Wu looked down at her, her eyes cold and unmoved: "Speak, who ordered you to do this?"
"It's...it's a man surnamed Wang!"
Li Li hurriedly confessed, her voice broken with fear, "I don't know his exact name. We all call him Mr. Wang. He's very rich and generous. At first, he just wanted me to find a way to get close to you, stay by your side, and report on your and Mr. Lu's situation..."
Surname Wang? Shang Wu and Lu Rang exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.
The surname immediately reminded them of someone.
Wang Yun! Lin Ruan's real lover, the playboy who had a complicated relationship with Lin Ruan at the gym.
"Go on," Lu Rang said, his voice as cold as ice, carrying a sense of oppression.
Li Li shuddered in fright and quickly continued, "Later, I don't know how he found out you were pregnant, but he immediately changed his attitude. He gave me that kind of medicine and told me to find a way to sneak it into your food, pretending to be an excellent family doctor visiting your home, with the goal of getting rid of the child in your belly... He said that after it was done, he would give me a large sum of money, enough for me to live a worry-free life for the rest of my days."
Despite being mentally prepared, Shang Wu still felt a chill run down her spine, and her hands and feet turned ice cold.
Is Wang Yun holding a grudge because of Lin Ruan?
Suppressing his fear, Shang Wuqiang took a deep breath and stared at Li Li.
Her tone was chilling: "You don't want to go to jail?"
Li Li nodded frantically, as if grasping at a straw: "Mrs. Lu, please give me a chance! I was forced into this, I was momentarily blinded by greed..."
“Okay.” Shang Wu interrupted her sobbing. “I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. From now on, you’ll cooperate with us, pretend the plan is still going on, and regularly report to that Mr. Wang about what’s happening here, keeping him calm. If you dare to try anything again, or leak even a single word to him…”
Shang Wu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "I guarantee you'll suffer a hundred times worse than going to jail!"
"I'll cooperate! I'll definitely cooperate!" Li Li hurriedly agreed.
At this moment, Shang Wu and Lu Rang were her only lifeline, so she dared not have any other thoughts.
"I'll do whatever you tell me to do! I'll definitely obey you!"
