Chapter 737: Second Round of Humiliation

Mr. Sang finally realized what was going on.

Lu Chengzhou, Gu Mang, and Lu Shangjin are all in cahoots! First, Gu Mang brought Red Scorpion into our home and beat my daughter up! Then, Lu Shangjin came to seize our home and freeze our a.s.sets. What Sang Xue did is no longer important. Jiang Shenyuan will definitely get her thrown in jail. And despite having to serve time in jail, she’ll still have to pay Meng Jinyang sixty million. That debt will end up falling on the family. This is Gu Mang’s way of settling things privately. She wasn’t just targeting my daughter; she planned to deal with the entire Sang family right from the start.

He was well aware of the things he had done over the years, so he dared not imagine the sort of evidence that Lu Shangjin had managed to dig up.

No. The Sang family can’t be ruined at my hands.

He instinctively looked at Second Master Lu for help and pleaded. “Second Master…”

Second Master Lu narrowed his eyes at Lu Chengzhou before opening his mouth to speak. However, Lu Chengzhou spoke first.

“Think it through carefully, Second Uncle.” Lu Chengzhou lifted his eyelids as the corners of his lips hooked upwards. “Sang Qi is suspected of bribery.”

His words were both a warning and a threat. If his second uncle dared say a single word on Sang Qi’s behalf, he himself would be investigated as well. Once a.s.sociated with bribery, both his future and reputation would be destroyed forever.

Second Master Lu’s face became tense as he shot his nephew a furious glare. What came to Sang Qi’s mind came naturally to him as well. More importantly, n.o.body knew better than him how vicious his nephew could be. The Sang family was finished.

“You win,” he spat through clenched teeth. He was so angry that he felt that his chest would explode at any moment.

A prestigious family with a rich history has collapsed in mere hours. This scandal is bound to take the entire capital by storm tomorrow. I thought I’d be able to send Gu Mang into jail for sure this time, but I ended up losing the entire Sang family instead.

Lu Chengzhou smiled. “Don’t always join in on the fun, Second Uncle. You won’t know when you might get implicated.”

Red veins were bulging from Second Master Lu’s eyes as he stood up and left with the butler in a pique. Contrary to how he arrived, looking all aggressive, he was now leaving like a loser.

When he pa.s.sed by Sang Qi, he paused to say, “Think clearly about what you’ve done before you speak.”

Thereafter, he sullenly strode out of the police station, leaving behind an ashen-faced Sang Qi, who watched him leave.

n.o.body’s going to protect me anymore. It’s over. I’m doomed…

Department Chief Zhao looked at the rest of the people in the office, feeling greatly relieved that he did not make things difficult for Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang just because he had Second Master Lu’s backing. He felt that he had just narrowly averted a great crisis.

…

It was dark outside. Everyone stood at the bureau’s entrance. The light from the police station elongated their shadows on the ground.

When Lu Shangjin heard the news that Meng Jinyang was hospitalized, he finally understood why Gu Mang had flown into such a huge rage. He said to her, “Don’t worry, the doc.u.ments you sent me are more than enough to send Sang Qi to jail for a long time.”

Gu Mang slipped her hands into her pockets. There was a frigid look on her face as she said hoa.r.s.ely, “Don’t make me wait too long for the outcome.”

Lu Shangjin nodded and bade them goodbye before driving off first. There were still a lot of things he needed to handle.

Jiang Shenyuan tilted his body to face Gu Mang. “Go back and rest for today. I’ll call you when Jinyang wakes up.”

Gu Mang appeared to be in a bad mood as she hummed an a.s.sent.

Lu Chengzhou opened his car door before taking a look at her. He gently said, “Get in.”

She bent down and got into the car. Before leaving, Lu Chengzhou glanced at Elder Bai, his gaze lingering on the old man for a couple of seconds before looking away.
