After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian's eyes flickered slightly.

The butler panicked, "How is this possible? Miss isn't that kind of person!"

Lu Lingjun remained silent, his hands clenched tightly. Only in this way could he restrain himself and observe coldly from the sidelines.

The butler's words drifted away on the wind, and no one echoed them.

Gu Xiaolei paused and then said, "Secondly, President Lou just confronted the Lu family, so he should be even clearer that these people are doing things for money."

Zhao Ke said indignantly, "The Lu family elders and their eldest brother are all in cahoots, constantly smearing Liang Yue. Fortunately, the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family was moved by Liang Yue and stood on Liang Yue's side. She secretly came to me last night and told me that she saw someone give her father-in-law a big bag of money a few days ago!"

"Sister-in-law Lu?" The face of the middle-aged woman flashed into Lu Sijian's mind.

"Her name is Zhang Hehua. She was supposed to be hit by a car and killed when she went to the hotel to find her husband in the middle of the night. You sent someone to watch over her all night and saved her life," the black-haired priest said in a low voice.

Lu Sijian blinked her eyes gently, as if a ripple had appeared, but it quickly subsided.

For some reason, the black-haired priest suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

—But you saved her life, yet you didn't receive a good reward.

Zhao Ke: "She's Lu Yaohua's sister-in-law! You didn't expect that, did you? Last time, the Lu family pushed her out to extort money from Liang Yue. Later, they had a falling out, and the father and son abandoned her and ran away. It was Liang Yue who was kind-hearted and gave her some travel expenses. That's how she reciprocated. This is what they call 'good deeds are rewarded'."

Lu Sijian: "Oh, so my name is on those bills?"

"..." Zhao Ke took a deep breath, "Based on the characteristics she described, I found that person, and his account also had a transfer from Lu Sijian a few days ago!"

He had never seen such shamelessness before. There was irrefutable evidence, yet they still tried to argue and make trouble!

Lu Sijian: "That doesn't prove anything. I have a bank card for dividends, but my older brother keeps it."

Zhao Ke stared at Lu Lingjun, "Brother Lingjun, you wouldn't still be trying to protect her at this point, would you?"

Lu Lingjun's lips tightened, and after a moment he tugged at his lips, "It wasn't me."

The wind was so cold that Lu Sijian's face was frozen stiff. She turned around and walked indoors without saying a word.

To everyone else, her behavior seemed like she was guilty and trying to run away.

Gu Xiaolei watched her movements and immediately beckoned his men to follow.

The butler tried to stop him, but was pushed aside and stumbled, almost falling.

A pair of hands supported him from behind. The butler looked up at Lu Lingjun, "Young Master, this..."

Lu Lingjun stared at him: "I remember you were the one I promoted."

The butler's heart skipped a beat. "Young Master, I'm not siding with Miss, it's Master's orders..."

Lu Lingjun gave him a cold look, then suddenly released his grip. The butler immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud, wincing in pain.

"You, come in with me." Lu Lingjun looked at his driver, clearly no longer trusting the housekeeper.

-

As Lu Sijian entered the living room, the warmth that greeted her finally dispelled the chill.

She sat down on the sofa, finally satisfied. Honestly, were those people out of their minds, insisting on standing in the yard in the cold wind?

Gu Xiaolei sat down directly opposite her, his sinister triangular eyes fixed on her.

Others followed one after another.

Lu Sijian was scrolling through her phone with her head down. It seemed that Lou Xiao's public relations team had taken action; evidence of the Lu family couple and the whistleblower receiving huge sums of money from unknown sources had been posted online.

Furthermore, there is complete and clear evidence proving that Lu Yaohua was not a doctoral student; he failed to pass the doctoral entrance exam after graduating with his master's degree. He used most of the more than one million yuan in online loans to buy a doctoral degree, and squandered a small portion of it.

This involves a visiting professor whose overseas degree is fake. It's a fraudulent organization that has already scammed many people in academia, and many universities actually believed it.

At this point, the Lu family's lies had completely fallen apart.

However, there are still many people who completely believe in victim-blaming.

The Lu family exaggerated some things, but is Mu Liangyue really innocent? After all, Mu Liangyue herself admitted in the live broadcast that she sent dumplings to Lu Yaohua.

If you're not dating, why would a high school student like you make dumplings for a strange man?

If you saw someone was dead, why did you still give so much money to their parents? You must have something to hide because someone died!

Even though countless people have come forward to declare that Mu Liangyue is simply kind-hearted and has no improper relationships with any men, they remain unconvinced and refuse to listen.

People tend to form preconceived notions, especially the Lu family parents' continuous weeping and tearful recollections of their son's past over the past week, which evoked empathy from countless people.

The hostage-taker who was universally condemned three years ago has become someone to be sympathized with simply because he is dead.

Incited by some malicious comments, many netizens expressed deep resentment and wanted to mourn the cyber enemy.

Then, a new revelation emerged.

Lu Sijian clicked on the video and saw a familiar figure.

The hidden mine, buried for so long, has finally detonated at this moment.

The video only recorded the latter half of the violence, in which Lu Yaohua was lifted up and slapped several times, and finally kicked in the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Lu Yaohua knelt down in the video, begging for forgiveness. "I didn't mean to, I wanted to treat it as a job, but there was no pay..."

"Shut up!" Lu Sijian interrupted him coldly, stepping on his shoulder.

Lu Yaohua's face contorted in pain, but he dared not resist.

"Don't let me see you around here again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you, understand?"

Lu Yaohua, his face bruised and swollen, nodded in fear.

The video ends here.

Comments flooded the internet at breakneck speed, creating an uproar.

[My God, this gave me the creeps! She's so beautiful, yet so ruthless!]

[dbp I've suspected Mu Liangyue of being a naive and innocent girl, and I've suspected Lu's parents of being liars, but I've never suspected Lu Sijian.]

[Does Lu Yaohua mean that the Lu Group hired him but didn't pay him? Has he gone mad?]

So refusing a job from a rich young lady gets you beaten up.

[That's so vicious! I now believe that she dragged Lu Yaohua off the building to kill him and silence him.]

[I'm truly disgusted. How can such a wicked person be awarded a "Good Samaritan" award? I suggest the death penalty!]

……

The comments that followed were all insults and condemnations, so Lu Sijian calmly put down her phone.

Lou Xiao's face was frighteningly grim. "Who leaked this video online?"

Although he was furious at Lu Sijian's ruthlessness and hypocrisy, he absolutely did not want the video to be leaked and completely ruin her.

Shen Baolin looked indifferent, He Wenyuan's eyes flickered, Zhao Ke avoided his gaze, and even Lu Lingjun remained silent.

Lu Sijian sighed inwardly.

No one admits it—but no one denies it either.

Lou Xiao's heart sank. Did this mean that everyone had given him a push?

Gu Xiaolei laughed heartily, "Why does President Lou need to worry about who leaked the information? You should ask Miss Lu why she treated Lu Yaohua this way. I want to hear the reason."
