Chapter 329 The Scoundrel Young Master 15 Li Renyi never suspected that the Lu family had taken his savings.
Because they don't have that much ability.
He never imagined that his seemingly docile new bride, Zixi, would quietly empty the Li family's entire fortune that they had painstakingly built up in the villa just days before they were about to close the net.
A few days later, a clarification announcement broadcast on the radio, delivered in a clear and resonant voice, not only cleared the Lu family of suspicion but also pointed out that all previous accusations were malicious false accusations by Li Renyi.
Furthermore, Li Renyi's malicious framing and crimes of embezzlement and perversion of justice were made public.
Not only was the Lu family unharmed, but Lu Zhenbang's reputation was even more vindicated by this undeserved disaster.
Li Renyi's malicious accusation also led to a search of the Li family, where a large amount of property of dubious origin was discovered.
On the day he was taken away, Li Renyi was still shouting that Lu Zhenbang had framed him.
As for whether it was Zi Xi who reported it, even the Lu family had no idea.
The downfall of the Li family was swift and thorough; those implicated in the family were all executed.
The few remaining members of the Li family were also sent to the most remote farms for labor reform.
The news spread like wildfire, reaching Shen Yurong, who was always keeping a close eye on the Lu family's movements.
She overheard a conversation between several middle-aged women in her neighborhood while she was buying groceries.
At first she didn't believe it, but when she got closer, she clearly heard words like "the Li family is finished" and "a lot of stolen money was found." She almost dropped the vegetable basket in her hand.
"How is that possible..."
"They should have found something in the Lu family's backyard... That's how it should be..."
Shen Yurong stood there, stunned, her face drained of color, muttering to herself.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, the Lu family was anonymously reported for hiding a large number of contraband items in the basement of their backyard.
Even if they can't find anything underground, what about the letters in the study?
How could they have found nothing? How could the Lu family have escaped unscathed?
She returned home absentmindedly, forgetting even to pick the vegetables, and sat in a chair with a blank stare.
Zhou Qingjian had just returned from outside, his face grim.
His recent secret fabric business has run into trouble. He has a batch of unsold goods that he can't sell, and he's experiencing cash flow problems, which is making him very upset.
"What are you standing there for? Cook!"
He yelled at Shen Yurong in an annoyed tone.
"Qingjian, have you heard? The Lu family... the Lu family is fine, but the Li family has fallen from grace..."
Shen Yurong seemed to be startled awake and suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"The Li family? The Lu family? Which Lu family?"
Zhou Qingjian was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"Who else could it be? It's that Lu family that little bitch married into!"
"Wasn't it said that their family was being investigated? How come everything's suddenly fine? The Li family is all paid off! What exactly happened?"
Shen Yurong's voice unconsciously rose a few notches.
Zhou Qingjian had been having a lot of bad luck lately and was already very angry.
Upon hearing Shen Yurong's tone, which was filled with doubt and disappointment that the Lu family had escaped unharmed, a surge of anger suddenly rose within him.
"Heh, isn't it a good thing that the Lu family is alright? Your dear sister married into the Lu family, and now that the Lu family has turned misfortune into good fortune, their future is even more secure!"
"You're something else! Not only do you not try to curry favor with your sister and build a good relationship with her, but you could also ask the Lu family for help in the future if I need anything in my business or family matters!"
"What good does it do us to just sit here hoping something bad happens to them?!"
He gave a sarcastic sneer.
