As Lu An'an listened to her grandmother's words, she silently recited that domineering CEO's line in her mind.
[It's getting cold; the Hou family is probably going bankrupt.]
Hou Xiaoling froze, feeling uneasy, and stammered, "What...what do you mean?"
Madam Lu gently raised her eyes, her gaze still cold: "Of course, it's getting cold... I'm making you pay the price for your actions."
Lu An'an almost laughed.
[Haha, Grandma was just thinking about saying "It's getting cold, Hou Po" too? Looks like Grandma's also a fan of domineering CEO novels.]
Those who heard her heartfelt words were collectively speechless for a moment. Whether Grandma loved her or not was unknown, but her younger sister definitely loved her very much.
A wave of fear washed over Hou Xiaoling, her voice trembling, almost breaking into a sob: "What...what do you want to do?!"
Madam Lu did not speak, but only glanced at Lu Minghuai indifferently.
Lu Minghuai instantly understood, took out his phone and pulled out the evidence he had gathered over the years, reading a few points to Hou Xiaoling: "Forced demolitions, market disruption, forced acquisition of small companies at low prices, overtime work, plagiarism of ideas, forcing employees to jump off buildings, oh yes, and your brother, fighting, running a gambling den, raping women..."
At this point, Lu Minghuai paused slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over Hou Xiaoling: "Do you need me to read all of these things to you one by one?"
Lu An'an, standing to the side, approached with curiosity and shock, and stared at the evidence on Lu Minghuai's phone, speechless.
Wow! Did this family memorize the criminal law and commit crimes one by one? The sheer number of them is staggering; they wouldn't survive a second lifetime.
Hou Xiaoling staggered, involuntarily taking a few steps back, her voice filled with unease and panic: "No, it's not like that, it really wasn't me..."
Her gaze darted around frantically, finally landing on the unconscious Lu Yanhua. She immediately pointed at Lu Yanhua, her voice sharp with urgency: "It was her! She was the one who approached me first, saying she could make me a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, Lu Minghuai's wife! That's why I listened to her and drugged you!"
After saying that, she quickly suppressed her sharpness and put on a pitiful look, tears welling up in her eyes. She explained almost pleadingly, "Minghuai, I just... I just love you too much, that's why I was deceived by this old hag who impersonates Madam Lu and is full of lies. I was really wrong, please forgive me, I was wrong. I'll take Lu... no, Yixuan away right now, please let the Hou family go."
Lu Minghuai smiled sarcastically and indifferently: "Let the Hou family go? Do you know how detestable you and your son are?"
His words were devoid of any warmth, each syllable clear and distinct: "Let you go? How dare you?"
Lu Yanli, standing to the side, slowly turned his gaze to Lu Yixuan, a cold smile curving his lips, his tone full of undisguised sarcasm: "Lu Yixuan, now you really are a bastard without a father, are you happy?"
Lu Yubai looked at Lu Yixuan with schadenfreude: "Lu Yixuan, don't worry, you're only twenty-two years old, you have many years to find your father, I believe you will be able to get rid of the label of bastard one day."
Lu Wenjing remained calm and corrected his two younger brothers, saying, "You've got it wrong. It's Yixuan, not Lu."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xunran couldn't help but scoff: "That's right, how can something whose birth is unknown use the Lu family surname?"
Lu Yixuan stood there, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on his hands bulged. As he listened to the mockery around him, his eyes gradually turned bloodshot.
These people deserve to die! Those damned bastards! He'll kill them! He absolutely must kill them!
Lu An'an narrowed her eyes as she looked at Lu Yixuan, who seemed to be turning to the dark side.
[This kid's in danger, is he on the verge of turning evil?]
I've taken down two of that master's men; he'll definitely be furious. Judging by the boy's hatred for the Lu family, I'm a little worried that his master might take advantage of the situation.
Upon hearing this, everyone silently observed Lu Yixuan. To be honest, this kid really did seem to hate them to death.
A serious expression appeared between Lu Wenjing's brows. This was a bit of a problem. Lu Yixuan hadn't done anything that would send him to jail. If he was just kicked out like this, there was no guarantee that his perverted master wouldn't pick him up and use him as a weapon against the Lu family.
Right now, we really need to find a way to keep Lu Yixuan under our noses.
Lu An'an frowned as she pondered, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.
Her eyes lit up, and a meaningful smile slowly crept onto her lips.
[Perhaps I've been overthinking things. If Lu Yixuan has really caught the master's eye, isn't this an opportunity for us?]
[As long as we have someone keep an eye on Lu Yixuan, even if we can't find out who his master is, we can at least find out who his master's accomplice is. If we cripple a few more of his men, I don't believe he can cause much trouble when he's all alone.]
As Lu An'an spoke, Lu's parents and brothers gradually regained their composure, and their eyes grew brighter.
An'an is right, this is indeed a good opportunity. Even if we can't completely cripple that master, we can at least skin him alive.
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu exchanged a glance, a layer of worry welling up in their eyes. Did they really have to face that person so soon?
After Lu An'an figured it out, her gaze fell on Lu Rongyu again, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.
Next up is our heroine.
[Perfect, let me test how strong her luck is, and see if she can bounce back from the police station this time.]
Following Lu An'an's thoughts, Old Master Lu also looked at Lu Rongyu, silently scoffing in his heart. Female lead? What kind of female lead is she? At best, she's just a brainless, stupid girl.
However, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his deep eyes. Lu Rongyu was actually the female lead? Interesting. He would have to look forward to seeing what her identity was.
Having decided on Lu Yixuan's arrangements, Lu Wenjing slowly instructed the bodyguards: "Take all three of them to the activity room first, keep a close eye on them, and hand them over to the police when they arrive."
After saying that, his gaze slowly turned to Lu Rongyu, who was huddled in the corner trying to minimize her presence, and he said in a low voice, "Lu Rongyu, it's time to settle the score between you and our Lu family."
Upon hearing this, Lu Rongyu's body trembled involuntarily. She raised her face, which was pale from the shock of what had just happened, and stammered, "I didn't do anything, you can't take me to the police station...you can't!"
Lu An'an laughed mockingly: "You didn't do anything?"
"Lu Rongyu, you don't think you've hidden it very well, do you?"
Lu Rongyu met Lu An'an's eyes, a barely perceptible hint of melancholy flashing across her own.
She shook her head frantically, her face as pale as a sheet, seemingly unable to hear what the crowd was saying, only repeating, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I don't know what you're talking about... I didn't do it..."
Lu An'an raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at Lu Rongyu.
[Oh, a new trick? Feigning madness?]
