Chapter 261 Do you believe in committing suicide out of fear of punishment?
What butler committed suicide?
Lu Ning couldn't believe it and went straight to the basement. Everyone in the Lu family was there.
Lu Dongyou stood at the door, looking at the housekeeper who committed suicide by hanging, his brows furrowed, but he felt relieved in his heart.
He committed suicide out of fear of punishment, so that all the blame could be put on the housekeeper.
When Lu Nanfeng noticed Lu Ning coming over, he blocked her view and said, "Don't look, or you'll have nightmares."
Lu Ning said with a stern face: "It's impossible for the housekeeper to commit suicide."
Qin Xiang could make the butler do this, so he must have bribed the butler. How could such a greedy person commit suicide?
Lu Bei said, "You mean the housekeeper was murdered?"
"impossible."
Lu Dongyou was the first to retort: "If it was really murder, then who did it? Xiangxiang is a girl, she definitely couldn't do that. Don't even think about throwing dirty water on her."
Lu Ning smiled faintly: "Then Qin Xiang can't find help?"
Sure enough, the people behind Qin Xiang took action.
Lu Dongyou was a little angry: "She is an orphan, where did she find such a powerful helper who could kill people for her?"
Lu Nanfeng nodded after listening to this: "What Big Brother said makes sense. Maybe the housekeeper committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"Brother, we have to call the police about this. After all, someone's dead. But what excuse should we use?"
Lu Dongyou thought for a moment and then said, "Just say that the housekeeper stole a lot of valuables from the house and embezzled a lot of money when he was back home. All of this can be used as evidence. Last night, the housekeeper even tried to steal something from Lu Ning's room, but we caught him. Now he's committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Lu Nanfeng nodded: "That's fine. After all, the housekeeper's previous accounts had problems, but I turned a blind eye and didn't make a fuss."
When Lu Ning heard these words, she just thought it was ridiculous.
A housekeeper with such bad character has been in the Lu family for so many years.
Lu Bei spoke up for Lu Ning: "Second brother, you knew the housekeeper was no good, so why did you keep him around until now?"
Lu Nanfeng felt a little guilty: "I just think that he has been in the Lu family for so many years, it is not easy to fire him directly, not to mention that Qin Xiang had a good relationship with the housekeeper before."
Who would have thought that the butler was such a person?
At this moment, Qin Xiang suddenly rushed over: "Brother, I heard that the housekeeper committed suicide. Is it true?"
Lu Dongyou also stopped Qin Xiang: "Yes, don't go in, it looks ugly."
Qin Xiang cried until her eyes turned red. "I really didn't expect him to commit suicide. Although I think he deserved to die, it's still a human life after all."
Fortunately, her father solved this hidden danger for her.
It’s a pity that Lu Ning can’t be killed now.
Lu Ning rolled her eyes: "You're acting again."
Lu Bei went straight forward and pushed Qin Xiang into the basement: "Since you are so worried, then you should take a good look at the housekeeper's death."
Qin Xiang accidentally saw the housekeeper's face and was so scared that she screamed. Her whole body went limp and she couldn't move at all.
After all, anyone would be frightened if they suddenly saw a dead person.
Lu Dongyou carried Qin Xiang out and glared at Lu Bei: "You're going too far."
"She's trying to pretend to care about the housekeeper. She should get closer and show some concern. That would be better."
Qin Xiang collapsed in Lu Dongyou's arms, her face pale and unable to utter a word.
It was the first time she saw a dead person, someone killed by her father.
Lu Ning followed him to the hall. She didn't expect Qin Xiang's father to act so quickly.
She took out her phone and sent a message to the TG PR team: "Check the surveillance cameras near my home. That person must have appeared again."
This is the best time to follow the clues and find Qin Xiang's father.
Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Ning and said, "When the police arrive, you and Xiangxiang will both give a unified statement, saying that you discovered the housekeeper stealing something. Got it?"
Qin Xiang nodded obediently.
Lu Ning raised her eyelids and said, "I will tell the truth. Why should I swallow this?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Qin Xiang's face changed. It was obvious that Bai Lianhua didn't want this matter to be made a big deal.
Lu Ning stared at Qin Xiang: "Besides, I think the housekeeper didn't commit suicide, he was murdered."
"impossible!"
Qin Xiang immediately retorted: "The housekeeper committed suicide because he felt guilty. After all, no one has the motive to kill someone. We were all in the room last night, who would kill him?"
Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Ning with disapproval: "If this matter gets out of hand, it will be bad for both of your reputations."
"I don't care. It's not me who sleeps with the housekeeper anyway."
Lu Ning's eyes were full of malice and ridicule, which instantly ignited the anger in Qin Xiang's heart. If the Lu family's property had not been emptied, he should have killed Lu Ning last night!
Qin Xiang thought of what her father had said, and she tearfully said, "Brother, it's okay for me to be wronged. But Sister Ningning and I were in the same room last night. If word gets out, who would believe that Sister Ningning is okay?"
Lu Bei scolded, "Qin Xiang, shut up!"
Lu Ning took out her phone and said, "Anyway, I have the video as evidence. You are the only one who slept with the housekeeper."
Qin Xiang gritted her teeth in anger: "But people outside won't believe the so-called evidence."
Lu Dongyou felt a bit of a headache: "Lu Ning, what exactly do you want in order for you to cooperate?"
"My request is very simple: give me the things my parents left me, and transfer all your shares in the entertainment company to me."
Only in this way can Lu Dongyou lose control of the entertainment company.
Lu Dongyou gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Ning, you are taking advantage of the situation."
"Oh my, you figured it out. I only have two conditions. If you agree to them, I'll cooperate with the police investigation."
"Lu Ning, you're dreaming. I won't agree to your request."
Lu Ning laughed out loud, looked at Qin Xiang and said, "See? In the eyes of our big brother, profit is the most important thing."
Lu Dongyou didn't say anything for a while.
Qin Xiang panicked for a moment. In her panic, she grabbed a fruit knife and pointed it at herself: "Brother, if outsiders knew about this, how would I live in Yunjing in the future? My background has always been ridiculed. I might as well die."
Lu Dongyou snatched the fruit knife and said, "Xiangxiang, calm down."
"Brother, please let me die. This way I won't be a burden to the Lu family, and I won't be a burden to you."
Qin Xiang was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and she was actually very scared in her heart. If the police really came to investigate, and if they found out something, then she and her father would be finished.
Even if it means committing suicide, it must be stopped.
Finally, Lu Dongyou gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Lu Ning, I agree to your terms. But as for my parents' property, I have to wait until your sixth and fourth brothers' affairs are completely resolved before I can give it to you."
"Okay, then can the entertainment company shares be transferred to me now?"
Lu Dongyou said with a straight face: "I'll ask my secretary to draft the contract later."
"No need to go through so much trouble, just sign it, big brother."
Lu Bei took out a share transfer contract and placed it in front of Lu Dongyou.
Lu Dongyou's face turned ashen. He looked at Lu Bei and said, "Are you sure you want to draw a line between you and me? Without me, would your company have survived to this day?"
"Brother, I will walk the path ahead on my own."
Lu Bei now wants to take the company into his own hands.
Lu Dongyou was forced to sign: "Very good, then from today on your company will not ask me for a penny!"
Qin Xiang said aggrievedly: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If you hadn't been trying to protect my reputation, you wouldn't have lost so much money."
"Xiangxiang, as your elder brother, it's my duty to protect you. After all, you're also a victim, unlike some people who take advantage of the situation."
Lu Dongyou stared at Lu Ning: "Look at how magnanimous Xiangxiang is. For the sake of the Lu family's overall interests, she would rather not call the police! And look at yourself, you are putting pressure on your family step by step!"
