I know this request is somewhat unreasonable, but I don't want to be misunderstood, and I don't want to be accused of arson at the Di Family Ancestral Hall."

"Uncle Lu, I'm sorry. I'm not asking for this because I don't trust you. I'm just worried that someone might be convicting me of this fabricated crime behind your and my father's backs."

Lu Mian lost his patience and asked sharply, "At that time, there were only the Second Young Master and the Young Miss in the ancestral hall. If it wasn't you, then it would have been the Young Miss. Is that what the Second Young Master wanted to express?"

The sharp words didn't make Di Tao panic at all. He smiled and said, "We all know Mo Lan's character. Anyone in the Di family could be the arsonist, except her."

"But what you just said directly pointed out that the young lady was the arsonist."

"Uncle Lu, you really misunderstood. I didn't mean to point fingers at Mo Lan. I just wanted to prove my innocence."

"Humph, your efforts to prove your innocence are just like throwing dirty water on a three-year-old girl."

"I really don't."

"Do you know it yourself?"

"Uncle Lu seems to be prejudiced against me..."

"Enough, stop arguing." Di Guanwei felt a headache because of the noise of their quarrel.

Di Tao, relying on his contribution in saving Mo Lan, continued to press for a new fingerprint identification.

Lu Mian was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and his face turned pale.

Di Tao was very satisfied to see him like this, and his face was full of pride as if he had won the victory.

Plotting against him? Haha, if his father knew that he had transferred the appraisal report without his knowledge, he would probably be furious and drive him out of the Di family.

"Lu Mian, go and make arrangements." Di Guanwei ordered in a cold voice.

Lu Mian was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He wanted to say something but was met with a cold glance from Di Guanwei. In the end, he could only turn around and make arrangements.

Only the father and son were left in the study. Di Guanwei looked directly at Di Tao, his eyes piercing. "What did you see in the ancestral hall? Tell me the truth."

Di Tao deliberately acted in a difficult manner, wanting to speak but hesitant.

Bang! The table was pounded loudly. Di Guanwei felt a chill run down his spine. "Speak."

Di Tao was trembling with fear, but his pronunciation was clear. If you looked closely, you could see that his eyes and brows were tinged with cunning and calculation.

"Father, please calm down. I believe Mo Lan didn't mean it. Maybe she was just curious about the incense and the tablets."

"Get to the point." Di Guanwei scolded.

Di Tao dared not hide anything anymore and told the whole story...

moment.

Di Guanwei's eyes were filled with rage. "You said you saw Mo Lan throwing apples at the tablet? Not only that, she even lit incense and said she hated the Di family? Damn it, who gave her the courage to be so rebellious?"

"She still hates the Di family. They gave her supreme power and wealth that no one else could hope to achieve. How could she have the nerve to hate them? She's just like that rebellious son Di He, ignorant and stupid as an ox."

"Father, Mo Lan is still young, so it's inevitable that he will make mistakes." Di Tao's words clearly convicted Mo Lan of arson in the ancestral hall.

Di Guanwei was furious, his forehead veins throbbing with anger. "Still young? When Di He was her age, he had already won several projects on his own. What has she gained after three years of hard work? A spoiled brat and the ability to burn down the ancestral hall?"

The angry voice shook everyone's eardrums in the room. Di Tao was secretly delighted. This was exactly the result he wanted. As long as the old man was disappointed with that girl, the Di family would be his sooner or later.

"Three years have passed. Very good. This girl really knows how to surprise me."

Di Tao remained silent, and the sinister smile on his stern face was hidden very well.

He thought to himself that surprise was nothing. Once the irrefutable facts were laid out in the open, he would see how he would still favor that little girl.

Soon Lu Mian and the fingerprint identification team came in. The leading appraiser nodded at Di Guanwei and Di Tao, and then took samples from the evidence bag in front of them.

The entire process is guaranteed to be conducted in an absolutely fair manner and no one can find any mistakes.

Di Tao's pride reached its peak. He looked at the trembling Lu Mian with his dark eyes and smiled sinisterly.
