My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Lin Xia and I were both amused by Zhao Ming's words.

What does it mean to have absolutely no money?

Are you afraid there won't be a chance to turn back?

It's because Zhao Ming was forcibly brought back by Liu Chaoyang.

If Zhao Ming didn't say that, wouldn't he lose face?

But Gu Yao's thinking remained simple as always.

She actually believed Zhao Ming's words.

"Zhao Ming, if you really regret it and have the intention to make amends."

"This is a good thing..."

Zhao Ming seemed to sense a glimmer of hope.

He was like a drowning man, desperately grasping at this straw.

Zhao Ming nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, yes! Gu Yao, I really regret it! I swear I will turn over a new leaf and correct all the mistakes I made in the past!"

Lin Xia and I stood aside, coldly watching the two of them.

Lin Xia leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Lu Yi, has this man always been such a good actor?"

I nodded silently: "That's just his average acting level."

Lin Xia covered her mouth and chuckled, "Gu Yao is going to be fooled by him again, isn't she?"

She glanced at me deliberately: "What? You don't feel sorry for Gu Yao now? You're not going to speak up and expose Zhao Ming's acting skills? I heard the sound of a wine bottle breaking inside when I was outside the door."

"Knowing your personality, you would never hit someone first. And considering that Gu Yao hit Zhao Ming on the head with her bag just now, the force couldn't have caused so much blood."

"So I'm guessing that during your negotiations, it was Liu Chaoyang who smashed Zhao Ming's head with a wine bottle, right?"

I looked at Lin Xia with considerable surprise; this woman was truly incredibly intelligent!

Judging solely from a few details and sounds.

Lin Xia actually guessed the whole process.

Chatting with a woman like that.

It's really a comfortable thing.

Because you won't feel very tired, and she'll know what you're thinking.

In this way, many things don't need to be said; the other person will naturally understand you.

I nodded slightly: "Lin Xia, you guessed it all right."

"However, you're wrong about one thing!"

Lin Xia looked at me curiously and asked in a low voice, "What did you not guess right?"

I smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do with Gu Yao and Zhao Ming anymore."

"What does their private matter have to do with me? Why should I interfere in their affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia's face immediately lit up with a bright smile.

She gave me a meaningful look and nodded with satisfaction.

Put aside your desire to help others and respect the lives of others.

Unfortunately, it took me nearly thirty years to grasp this principle, and I paid a heavy price for it.

Only then did I truly understand the meaning of that sentence.

At that moment, Lin Xia and I stood to the side.

I continue to appreciate Zhao Ming's acting skills.

Zhao Ming looked incredibly regretful.

He knelt on the ground, wishing he could kowtow to Gu Yao several times.

“Gu Yao, before I went abroad, I was blinded by greed and took a wrong turn, so I took your and your company’s money.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao immediately became angry.

Zhao Ming quickly calmed down.

"Money! I don't need it! I can return the money to you right away!"

Hearing this, Gu Yao's anger subsided considerably.

Followed by.

Zhao Ming shifted his position using his knees while kneeling.

He looked at me, and then apologized with utmost sincerity: "Lu Yi, I was wrong, I apologize to you!"

"Regarding your company's affairs, I shouldn't have moved your company's funds..."

I gave a cold laugh and interrupted him.

"move?"

"You've probably used the wrong words, haven't you? This is theft, robbery! It's even robbery! This is no different from stealing or cheating!"

Zhao Ming was terrified upon hearing this.

He hurriedly explained with a wry smile, "No, no, no, I didn't steal or rob anything. I will definitely return the money to you!"

I asked, knowing the answer already, "So where's your money?"

Zhao Ming started to stammer.

"This, this..."

Of course I know where Zhao Ming took my money.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the money is now definitely in Liu Chaoyang's hands.

Liu Chaoyang brought Zhao Ming back to China and was willing to protect him.

It is obvious that Zhao Ming must have promised Liu Chaoyang a great deal of benefits.

Liu Chaoyang has the typical businessman's personality; he won't get up early for nothing.

He would never have gotten involved in Zhao Ming's mess if the benefits weren't significant enough.

"So, where's your money?"

I deliberately pressed Zhao Ming for answers, determined to leave him with no way out!

Let him have a good experience.

Back then, he wronged me to the point of being speechless and having nowhere to retreat.

That indescribable feeling of having a bitter pill to swallow!

As expected, Zhao Ming was driven to the brink of tears by my actions.

He stammered and stammered, trying to get away with it.

"Lu Yi... don't worry, I swear, I will definitely return your money..."

I gave a cold laugh.

"These are things you should do."

"But now I want to ask you one question: where did you spend that money?"

Zhao Ming looked at Gu Yao in a panic, wanting to ask her for help.

He still thought it was the same as before.

Gu Yao would always speak up for him, no matter what.

Gu Yao, like me, was very curious about where my company's money went.

So Gu Yao stared at him and asked.

"Zhao Ming, where did you spend the money from Lu Yi Company?"

In the end, Zhao Ming couldn't avoid it any longer.

He was in immense pain and chose to give up and tell everything.

"Liu Chaoyang took a portion of it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao, Lin Xia, and I all wore strange expressions.

Only a portion was taken by Liu Chaoyang?

What about the other part?

Gu Yao politely asked the question on my behalf.

Where did the remaining money go?

However, Zhao Ming's next words shocked everyone on the field.

Zhao Ming said bitterly, "Your dad took it!"

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Yao and I were both stunned.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Gu Yao stared at Zhao Ming uncertainly.

"Zhao Ming, wait, say it again!"

"Liu Chaoyang took a portion of Lu Yi Company's money, but who took the rest?"

Zhao Ming, his face drooping, said weakly, "Gu Yao is your father!"

"That money was taken by your biological father!"

Hear this.

Sad memories from the past flooded my mind like a tidal wave!

My pupils suddenly contracted, those painful memories flashed before my eyes.

All are back!

My father died while he was supervising a construction site at his company's site.

A drunk tow truck driver, not realizing what was happening, ran over the father and killed him.

Aunt Gu told me that the tow truck driver who killed my father was her ex-husband!

That is, Gu Yao's biological father!

This is the man I had almost forgotten.

He actually appeared in my life at this time, in this way!
