Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 78 Clearing the Clouds: Unveiling the Truth Behind the Family Conflict
"More than one person?" My heart tightened, and a chill ran up my spine.
Could there be an even bigger conspiracy hidden behind this?
Gong Lin took a deep breath and slowly explained the reason.
It turns out that Zhao was just one part of K's plan; the real mastermind was someone else.
And this person actually had intricate connections with the Gong family.
"Who is it?" I asked urgently, almost unable to control my emotions.
Gong Lin's expression grew increasingly serious. He held my hand, his palms damp with sweat.
"Qingqing, it's not time to tell you yet. But I promise I will find out everything, protect you, and protect the Gong family." His eyes were firm yet gentle, like a warm current flowing into my heart, dispelling the fear within me.
Despite the lingering doubts and anxieties in my heart, I choose to believe in Miya Rin.
I know he must have his reasons.
In the following days, Gong Lin began to frequently attend family meetings and communicate with family members.
I used my business connections to secretly investigate K's true identity.
After visiting several shops, I finally obtained an important clue in an inconspicuous antique shop.
The shop owner told me that someone once brought the Gong family's antiques here to pawn, and that person was Zhao.
And with him appeared a mysterious woman.
I immediately told Miya Rin the news.
He listened carefully to my description, his brow furrowed.
Based on my description, he remembered someone—Lawyer Wu.
Attorney Wu has been the Gong family's legal advisor for many years. On the surface, he is honest and kind, but in reality, he is a ruthless and opportunistic person.
Gong Lin suspects that Attorney Wu may not only have been bribed by Uncle Gong, but has also become an accomplice of K.
To verify our hypothesis, Gong Lin set a trap.
He deliberately spread the news that he had evidence of Uncle Gong's crimes and that he would hold a family meeting to publicly expose Uncle Gong's crimes.
As expected, upon hearing the news, Uncle Gong immediately conspired with Attorney Wu to devise a countermeasure.
Their conversation was recorded by a listening device we had planted beforehand.
With this recording, along with the evidence I had previously collected, it is sufficient to prove the crimes of Uncle Gong and Attorney Wu.
I organized all the evidence and handed it over to Gong Lin.
He looked at me with eyes full of gratitude and love.
"Qingqing, thank you."
"Silly boy, do we need to say thank you to each other?" I smiled at him, my heart filled with sweetness and happiness.
I know we are about to face a storm, but I am not afraid.
Because I know that no matter what happens, we will face it together.
The family meeting was held as scheduled.
Uncle Gong, Lawyer Wu, and some family members they had bribed all attended the meeting.
Gong Lin sat in the main seat, his expression serious.
I stood beside him, feeling the powerful aura emanating from him.
"Everyone," Gong Lin began slowly, his voice deep and powerful, "Today, I have an important announcement to make..." He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Uncle Gong's face, "Regarding K..." Gong Lin had barely uttered the word "K" when Uncle Gong jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at Gong Lin's nose and yelling, "You're slandering me! What evidence do you have that I'm connected to K? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the future heir of the Gong family!" He was spitting everywhere, his face red and his neck thick, looking like a cornered beast.
I snorted coldly, disdainful of this clumsy performance.
Uncle Gong's reaction further confirmed our guess.
The more agitated he is, the more it shows that he has a guilty conscience.
"Second Uncle, since you've asked, I'll make you admit your mistake." Gong Lin's tone was icy, devoid of any emotion.
He clapped his hands, and I immediately distributed the prepared documents to every family member present.
The document details the collusion between Uncle Gong and Attorney Wu, and provides evidence of how they used Project K to gradually erode the Gong family's assets.
Even the recordings of their private meetings were clearly presented to everyone.
Upon seeing this overwhelming evidence, Uncle Gong's face turned deathly pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.
His family members, who had originally supported him, also showed expressions of shock and disappointment.
"This...this is impossible!" Uncle Gong Er was still making a last-ditch effort. "These are all fakes! You're deliberately framing me!"
I sneered, walked up to him, and slammed a document onto his chest. "Second Uncle, look at the signature on this document. Whose handwriting is this?"
It was an equity transfer agreement, which clearly stated the name of Uncle Gong Er, as well as an unfamiliar name—An Tai.
"An Tai?" Old Master Gong suddenly stood up, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes. "That name... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..."
I smiled slightly, “Mr. Gong, An Tai is the chairman of the An Group, and also... the mastermind behind K.”
There was an uproar.
It turns out that An Tai had always wanted to replace the Gong family's position, so he planted Lawyer Wu as an inside man and took advantage of Uncle Gong's greed to carry out his conspiracy step by step.
In order to seize control of the family, Uncle Gong Er did not hesitate to collude with outsiders and betray the family's interests.
The truth came out, Gong Ershu's conspiracy was completely exposed, and he was disgraced within the family.
Old Master Gong was heartbroken and slapped him hard.
I watched all of this without feeling a ripple in my heart.
All I want is to uncover the truth and protect Miya Rin.
Gong Lin walked to my side and held my hand tightly.
He looked at me with eyes full of gratitude and love.
“Qingqing,” he said tenderly, “wait… wait until you graduate from university, then we’ll get married.” His voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm and resonant, echoing in the spacious conference room.
I was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to say these words at this time, in front of all the family members.
My cheeks felt slightly hot, and my heart was pounding like I was carrying a restless little rabbit.
A hint of surprise flashed across Old Master Gong's originally gloomy face, which was then replaced by a gratified smile.
He spoke slowly, a hint of emotion in his voice: "Qingqing is indeed a good girl. Capable, responsible, and a good one." These words were undoubtedly an acknowledgment of my relationship with Gong Lin.
I saw that the family elders who had previously looked down on me or even been hostile towards me were now showing their appreciation.
Uncle Gong's face turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly.
He glared at me fiercely, but dared not say anything more.
He lost, he lost completely.
Attorney Wu was already terrified, his face ashen, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
Gong Lin gripped my hand, tightening his grip slightly.
He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with love and determination.
"Qingqing, thank you for everything you've done for me and for the Gong family." I squeezed his hand back and gave him a reassuring smile.
I know that after going through so much hardship, we have finally seen the rainbow.
Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a panting figure rushed in.
"Master! Something terrible has happened!" It was Steward Liu.
He was pale and looked flustered, as if something terrible had happened.
My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.
"What is it?" Old Master Gong asked in a deep voice.
Butler Liu took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Master... the old master's study... is on fire!" As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room erupted in chaos.
The crowd began to discuss the matter, and the scene became chaotic.
Gong Lin's expression also turned serious.
He held my hand tightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
I could feel that his palms were slightly damp.
"Let's go!" Gong Lin grabbed my hand and quickly walked out of the conference room.
I followed him, my heart filled with doubt and unease.
The study caught fire...
what on earth is it?
Could this have been just an accident?
still is……
Is there something else going on?
I turned to look at Uncle Gong, who was slumped on the ground, and a barely perceptible sneer flashed in his eyes.
My heart sank, and a chill ran up from the soles of my feet.
I suddenly had a feeling that this fire was not as simple as it seemed...
“Rin,” I gripped Rin’s arm tightly, “I feel…”
I think this fire is too strange!
I almost jogged to keep up with Gong Lin's pace, my heart pounding and my unease growing stronger.
Gong Lin quickened his pace, his face terribly gloomy.
By the time we arrived at the study, the fire had already spread, and thick smoke was billowing out, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Firefighters are battling the blaze, and the scene is chaotic.
Old Master Gong stood to the side, his face ashen, his lips trembling, clearly greatly frightened.
"Grandpa!" Gong Lin quickly stepped forward to support him. "Are you alright?"
Grandpa Gong shook his head, pointed to the burning study, and said in a hoarse voice, "My study... my life's work..."
Looking at everything before me, I felt a mix of emotions.
The study contained the life's work of several generations of the Gong family, now reduced to ashes, a loss of immeasurable value.
The fire was finally brought under control, but the study was completely destroyed and in a state of utter chaos.
Gong Lin arranged for people to clean up the scene and investigate the cause of the fire.
Preliminary investigation results indicate that the fire started in a corner of the study, and is suspected to have been caused by a short circuit.
But my gut feeling tells me that things aren't that simple.
In the following days, the entire Gong family was busy dealing with the aftermath of the fire.
The family members worked together to discuss how to make up for the losses and revitalize the family business.
Grandpa Gong gradually emerged from his grief and regained his spirits.
Seeing the Gong family return to its former harmony, I felt a sense of relief.
But at the same time, I also felt a sense of unease.
That evening, I was organizing documents in my study when Gong Lin walked in, holding a report in his hand.
"Qingqing, look at this." His expression was somewhat serious.
I took the report and read it carefully.
This is a financial statement that shows the Gong family has recently incurred losses in some of their small businesses.
"How could this happen?" I frowned. "These businesses have always been doing very well, how could they suddenly be losing money?"
Gong Lin shook his head, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "I don't know either. I've already sent people to investigate, but we haven't found the specific reason yet."
I put down the report, feeling a vague unease in my heart.
Could these losses be related to the fire in the study?
Or is there some deeper conspiracy behind this?
Just as I was pondering this, Gong Lin's phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone, and his expression changed drastically.
"What? What did you say?!" His voice rose a few decibels, his tone filled with shock and disbelief.
I looked at him, and my heart sank.
"I understand, I'll be right there." Gong Lin hung up the phone, turned to look at me, his expression grave, "Qingqing, something's happened..."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the study.
"The...factory..." he said haltingly as he ran, "The factory...something happened..."
