"No, Mr. Di, everyone has their own consequences. Please don't hurt my family." Li Rou became emotional when he mentioned his family.
She knew that no matter whether she was the one who leaked Mo Lan's information or not, she had no way out since she accepted the check and cash.
But this was her own doing, and it was a disaster caused by her own greed. She really didn't want to implicate her family.
"If you want them to live, then tell me the truth. Maybe since you took care of Mo Lan before, I can give you a chance to live. Otherwise... your Li family will be wiped out with just one word from me. Do you understand?"
Li Rou nodded while crying, feeling extremely regretful, but there was no turning back in this world, and she had no way to retreat.
Sniffing, she slowly raised her tear-soaked face, her red and swollen eyes looking in Lu Mian's direction, then raised her finger tremblingly to identify him, "It was him. He was the one who gave me the check and asked me to lie."
“I didn’t leak the news, and I don’t know who the young lady’s biological father is. But a few days ago, he suddenly found me and asked me to take the blame for the person who leaked the young lady’s news.
He said that if I was willing to take the blame, he would give me 500,000 yuan, and that this was just a down payment. After the matter was settled, he would give me another 2 million yuan, and then send me and my family abroad, ensuring that we would have no worries for the rest of our lives.
Li Rou's words made sense, and Di Guanwei suddenly turned his head and shot a cold look at Lu Mian, which was clearly a question.
Lu Mian was in turmoil. He didn't expect that Li Rou would take his money and then bite him back. He was unable to defend himself and was exhausted.
Seeing that he was silent, Di Tao raised the corners of his lips silently and fiercely, with a sinister and creepy smile.
Lu Mian, let’s see how you can argue this time.
Perhaps he didn't know yet, that in order to make Li Rou's testimony more convincing, he ordered someone to return the check that had been scraped from her to her intact.
As for the cash he asked someone to give to this woman, haha, it would be better to rob it. That way, no matter how capable Lu Mian is, he can't drag him into this.
"Uncle Lu, now that things have come to this, the longer you remain silent, the more you are covering up. Are you really not going to say anything?" Di Tao challenged.
Lu Mian glared at him angrily, then walked anxiously to Di Guanwei, bowing humbly, "Master, she slandered me."
"I didn't." Li Rou heard his denial and shouted excitedly, "I still have the check you gave me in my pocket. Mr. Di will know whether it's slander or not at a glance."
Di Guanwei ignored Li Rou's arguments and looked at Lu Mian gloomily. "Are you sure you're not telling the truth? Was she the one who leaked the information? What was her motive for leaking the information to that guy?"
"Lu Mian, you know very well what will happen if you deceive me again and again. You'd better think it through before answering."
When Di Guanwei said this, Lu Mian's shoulders instantly slumped. He should have known that nothing could be hidden from the master.
He exhaled heavily, his eyes blurring out, "Master, I admit that I did ask her to take the blame for Xiuzhi, but Zhi..."
boom.
Before he could finish his words, Di Guanwei suddenly slammed the table violently, his face a storm of uncontrollable rage. "Okay, very good."
When he clearly instructed him to do something, he also reminded him frankly what he had promised him at that time, saying that he would punish the man severely if he found him and would never let him down.
But look at him now, is he playing him like a fool?
"Master, I know you are angry and furious now, but please listen to me." Lu Mian said in a loud voice, risking being scolded.
Di Guanwei was so angry that his eyes narrowed slightly. He exhaled deeply, suppressed his emotions, and took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll listen. You tell me what you want to say. I want to see what kind of excuse you can come up with."
Lu Mian: “…”
Can he come up with a clever excuse? Impossible, but he can come up with something unexpected, let's see.
"Actually, when you ordered me to investigate, I already guessed that it was Hidechi who leaked the news. But don't you find it strange?"
"What's so strange?" Di Guanwei snorted, really annoyed by Lu Mian's pretentious attitude.
Lu Mian ignored the cold glance he sent his way. "Xiuzhi, why didn't you reveal it earlier or later? Why now? Isn't it because the young lady was bitten by a poisonous spider and is in critical condition?"
"Speaking of which, I think we can put the leak of information aside for now. Investigating the poisonous spider is the top priority. Even the connection to the ancestral hall fire doesn't seem like an accident to me. After all, it's all too coincidental."
"What do you want to say?" Di Guanwei said coldly.
Lu Mian seized the opportunity, looked at Di Tao, and said bluntly, "I think this might all be a trap set by the Second Young Master, and I really didn't give her a check."
Di Tao's eyelids twitched uncontrollably when he was named, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face, looking calm.
"Uncle Lu, I understand how you feel right now, but you can't just act rashly. You said I was the one who set this up, but do you have any evidence?"
"Besides, they're talking about you finding someone to take the blame for Xiuzhi, and this woman herself said you gave her the check. Do you think she dares to fool my father?"
He said this with a stern look at Li Rou on the ground, "Tell me the truth, did Uncle Lu give you a check?"
"He gave it to me. I'll show it to you now." Li Rou replied without thinking.
Lu Mian was furious and pointed at Li Rou, "You're talking nonsense! I only said that I would treat you well and send your family abroad to avoid the limelight. When did I ever give you a check?"
"You did give it to me," Li Rou argued, taking out a check and holding it high. "Here, this is it."
Lu Mian looked at the check she held high, his face turning green with anger. He glared at Di Tao, "Second Young Master, what exactly do you mean by going to such great lengths to frame me? She said I gave her the check, but I said you were the one who framed her."
"Uncle Lu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Instead of arguing endlessly, why don't we just see who the check belongs to? I think any sophistry is not as convincing as seeing it with our own eyes. What do you think, Father?"
Di Tao had a look of confidence on his face, which made Lu Mian so angry that his face turned red. At first glance, he looked like he was extremely guilty.
