After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lou Xiao snapped out of his daze: "President Sheng, please be careful what you say."

Sheng Yunchao looked at him, he needed a reason.

“I’ve been careful with my words. I used to try to trick my aunt into investing, asking for 300 million yuan right off the bat. Now my methods have evolved. I’m not only trying to steal money, but I also want to poison my aunt to control her.”

"I'm sorry, but I really have to wonder if you're targeting me or the Sheng family?"

Lou Xiao was taken aback by his sudden attack, and his expression changed slightly.

The crowd present got excited. Wow, this looks like there's some juicy gossip going on!

Sheng Lan hesitated for a moment, wanting to explain that she had not been deceived and that she had invested in Lou Changling willingly.

Sheng Yunchao suddenly turned to Sheng Lan and asked, "Auntie, do you still think Lou Changling is handsome like this?"

Sheng Lan glanced at Lou Changling and was disgusted by his obese belly, but she took a deep breath and took it as a test from her idol.

So, steeling her heart, she nodded and said, "Of course he's handsome. I think men who are chubby are cute."

Everyone in the audience: "..."

I don't really understand. How much hype have they been given to make them think this fat guy is handsome?

Most of the people in the audience were not from Sheng Lan's circle. In order to attract more funds, Lou Changling allowed people to recommend their friends to come.

Many of these people came because of Lou Xiao, as they were young and not yet within the influence of Lou Changling's charm.

They didn't have any "male god" filter for Lou Changling; to be fair, Lou Changling was just an average-looking, overweight man.

The problem now is that Lou Changling is standing with Lou Xiao and Sheng Yunchao.

Both of them are top-tier in terms of looks in the entertainment industry, especially Sheng Yunchao, who is so perfect that people can't help but think he is Nuwa's graduation project, without a single flaw.

Those captivating peach blossom eyes, even without smiling, stirred the heart. In comparison, Lou Changling's prized, mesmerizing eyes looked like those of a dead fish.

Not to mention other aspects, the more you look at it, the more it resembles a disaster scene.

"I want to clarify that my aunt has normal aesthetic sense just like everyone else. She likes abs, not a big belly. She doesn't have a fetish for ugly people. So I absolutely don't believe you that her current state isn't being manipulated."

Sheng Yunchao's voice was calm and unhurried, yet inexplicably convincing. Everyone nodded in agreement, finding it very reasonable.

Lou Changling: "You're making false accusations!"

That's outrageous! He actually called himself ugly!

Lou Xiao stopped the agitated Lou Changling and asked with a frown, "So what do you want?"

Ultimately, the problem lies in Lou Changling's fundraising methods.

Although it is a legitimate investment that can bring high returns to investors and is not a scam, it is hard to guarantee that no one will cause trouble.

Lou Xiao knew that Sheng Lan had invested 200 million yuan, which was a large sum of money in the eyes of others, but he didn't care about it.

"How about this, we'll return the 200 million yuan that Ms. Sheng invested..."

At the same time Lou Xiao spoke, Sheng Yunchao also spoke.

"Since this is a setup targeting the Sheng family, I can't just sit idly by. I should call the police."

Lou Xiao stopped talking and looked at Sheng Yunchao scrutinizingly, unsure whether he was threatening him or genuinely meant it.

After all, once the police are called, regardless of whether Lou Changling is involved or not, today's fundraising is destined to fail.

He did not want to ruin Lou Changling's fundraising plan.

Lou Changling, on the contrary, flew into a rage, "Fine, call the police then! If it's proven that my pastries are fine and you're slandering me, I'll sue you for defamation and creating trouble!"

Fine, if that's how it is, then nobody's going to have an easy time!

Lou Changling spent a lot of money to organize this banquet in order to make it look more upscale, and now he is heartbroken about how little money he has raised.

Now that we have someone to absorb the losses, we should hold on tight.

He turned his head and stared at Lu Sijian, who was being protected by Lu Lingbai, and became even angrier.

"You were the one who started spreading rumors, so don't even think about letting this go. I will absolutely not reconcile!"

Lu Sijian: "..."

She couldn't help but ask, "Are you so sure your desserts are okay? What about the ingredients? Did you handle them all? Did no one else touch them?"

Lou Changling: "Who are you trying to imply? Feng Ling? She's definitely not a problem."

Since the other party already knew, he stopped pretending and simply told them directly.

“Fengling had some misunderstandings with your Lu family before, but since you have already fired her, there is no need to be so vicious as to try to kill her. I only recently hired her as the housekeeper of the old house through an introduction. I think she is meticulous and thoughtful, and we get along well, so you don’t need to worry about her.”

Even if you knew, what could you do? You still couldn't do anything about it.

Lu Sijian asked curiously, "Did Aunt Ye teach you how to cook?"

Lou Changling: "Yes, recently someone has been spreading rumors that Fengling used to cook badly at the Lu family. Fengling is my master, how could her cooking be bad?"

Lu Lingbo was immediately embarrassed, realizing that he was the one who said that Sister Ye's cooking was bad.

Lu Sijian had no more questions, which was utterly baffling.

What is Lou Changling so smug about? Your Fengling is about to ruin you.

[I guessed that these two getting together would lead to big trouble, but I never expected it to develop like this!]

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao had a sudden thought and was about to say something when Sheng Yunchao blocked his way.

"The police have arrived," the young man said with a smile.

He had already called the police as soon as he heard Lu Sijian's thoughts and learned that there were poppy shells in the snack.

-

The police acted quickly and had results in no time.

"You're saying I put poppies in my dessert? That's impossible!" Lou Changling was so shocked that he stood up from his chair.

Lou Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. An unexpected situation had occurred. There really was something wrong with the pastries!

Lou Changling subconsciously looked at Lu Sijian, "It was you! You must have poisoned it! If you hadn't tampered with it, how would you have known there was something wrong with the dessert?"

Besides Lu Sijian, he couldn't think of anyone else who would hate him so much!

The police officer handling the case immediately looked at Lu Sijian with suspicion. Why would a young girl accuse someone of having a problem with their snacks?

Sheng Yun stepped forward, blocking Lu Sijian's path, and smiled at the police officer. "I'm the one who reported the case, and I was the first to raise questions. As for why I have doubts, it's because my family almost became victims."

Sheng Lan was still in shock when she heard this and was immediately moved. It turned out that her nephew had done it all for her sake.

"Nonsense, Sheng Lan has never eaten my snacks!" Lou Changling refused to accept this explanation and was determined to take a piece of Lu Sijian's flesh no matter what.

"I was framed. She did touch the snacks, so she should also be taken away for investigation!"

His reaction didn't seem fake, and the police hesitated for a moment. Could he really have been framed?

Lu Sijian couldn't hold back any longer: "You'd rather doubt me than doubt Aunt Ye? Think carefully, when did you start losing control of your eating? Did Aunt Ye have anything to do with it?"

Lou Changling was stunned: "What problem could Fengling have?"
