After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

"Can the case against Gu Yonghui for accusing me of embezzling charity funds be closed now?" Zhang Ran stood there, demanding an answer forcefully.

Everyone is currently investigating the multi-billion dollar embezzlement case; who has time to care about the orphanage's embezzlement of charitable funds? Besides, all the evidence points to Gu Yonghui's false accusation.

"Hmm." Captain Lu grunted reluctantly through his nose.

Zhang Ran turned to Qi Hongyan and instructed, "Did you hear that? I was wronged. The case is closed. Now sue Gu Yonghui for defamation and make him compensate me for my emotional distress, lost wages... maybe three to five hundred million."

Everyone: "..." Three to five hundred million? Even kidnappers wouldn't dare demand that much from the richest man, and she's actually asking for an exorbitant amount!

Qi Hongyan, however, took Zhang Ran's words as gospel and nodded in affirmation, saying, "Gu Yonghui's false accusations have caused immeasurable damage to your reputation and various industries under your name, estimated to exceed one billion. I will give you a satisfactory answer after I and other lawyers have assessed and discussed the matter." She was trying to extort more money from her boss and seek compensation, hoping that he would not cause any serious harm for the sake of money.

Everyone: She's that rich?!

The police officers who had visited the manor had no suspicions whatsoever.

Those who hadn't been there thought about it carefully. They realized that even a few casually bought antiques and auctioned them off would fetch hundreds of millions, and the compensation claim would be astronomical. Gu Yonghui was about to suffer a huge financial blow. He'd just had billions stolen by hackers, and now he was being sued for defamation. He'd lost his money, his reputation, and his life was over.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Ran instructed Qi Hongyan to return the money to the policewoman before leaving gracefully.

Lawyers Qin Hongyan and others, however, left to file a lawsuit against Gu Yonghui.

Inside the interrogation room, Gu Yonghui tearfully begged the police to help him catch the hacker and recover billions of dollars.

After the police left, he immediately took out his phone and contacted his family, "Wife, the embezzlement will be exposed soon, quickly sell the house and car to make up for the shortfall..."

Outside the police station, the principal and Luo Youdi were overjoyed to see Zhang Ran emerge unharmed and wept tears of joy.

Yang Tao, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed something was wrong. "Why are your pants so thin? Wait, these pants don't look like yours."

All eyes turned to Zhang Ran's pants, and she quickly explained, "I accidentally knocked over my water cup, and these pants were lent to me by the policewoman."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and surrounded her, asking her all at once if she had suffered during her detention.

"No, I'm eating well and sleeping soundly," Zhang Ran said with a smile, seemingly unaffected.

Everyone gathered at the manor to celebrate Zhang Ran's safe return.

After the meal, they all told Zhang Ran to get some rest before leaving.

Zhang Ran kept Er Ya behind and called her to his study for a talk.

The two sat on the sofa, and Er Ya grabbed Zhang Ran's arm tightly: "You scared me to death! I thought you were going to jail this time." The other party had destroyed evidence; it was clearly a frame-up. "What grudge do you have against Gu Yonghui? Is he trying to murder you for money?"

“Money is one reason, and there’s another reason.” Zhang Ran looked at Er Ya with a strange expression.

"What kind of look is that?" Er Ya suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Could it be related to me?"

Zhang Ran didn't intend to hide it from her. She had her eye on Xie Wei, which forced Xie Wei to retire early. After returning to Beijing, she saw her with Xie Wei and mistakenly thought she was Xie Wei's girlfriend. She then instructed Gu Yonghui to frame her and get her imprisoned.

Er Ya was stunned: "...You mean Gu Jinhe is trying to steal my man?" It would be one thing if a woman stole Xie Wei, but a man is trying to steal her boyfriend? This world is too weird.
