âAre you lying to a three-year-old?â
The lazy young man put his hands in his pockets and said. His subordinates were scattered around the office looking for evidence. He smoked a cigarette habitually and said, âItâs like you have ADHD. Do you want to pass information to the Tang family? If news gets out from me, it wonât be good if the higher-ups blame you. If you cooperate obediently, weâll be happy.
âIf you donât, Iâll have to âreasonâ with you, right?â
As for which reason it was, one could tell from his murderous gaze. This time, the general manager immediately pretended to be no different from a quail and did not dare to move! He hoped that the family head did not have the time to deal with him. After all, it was not that he did not want to save him, but he had no choice!
â¦
Night Rose.
It was still daylight outside, but the colorful lights inside were shining like it was night. People of all kinds kept coming in and out. Beautiful women in high-pronged cheongsams would bury themselves in the arms of the guests from time to time and laugh like silver bells! The other women at the side also flirted with them.
Just as these guests couldnât hold it in anymore, the door was kicked open. âPolice! All of you, raise your hands and donât move! Youâre not allowed to sneak away! Weâve already surrounded all the exits here! Someone reported that there are sexual activities going on at the Night Rose! Please come with us! If thereâs nothing else, weâll let you go!â
But how many of those who came here were clean?
â¦
From then on, the four pillar industries of the Tang family were completely destroyed!
Tang Boyan seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant. He stood on the expensive carpet with his back hunched, forming a stark contrast with the cheerful Lu Ming. The latter said with a smile, âI thought you were tough! How long has it been? Youâre already begging for mercy? Why didnât you hold on a little longer?â
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Boyan did not retort as usual. He only said weakly, âIâm sorry. I shouldnât have attacked you and your mother. If you want to blame someone, blame it all on me! It has nothing to do with the others! Please let my children go! At least theyâre innocent!â
âInnocent?â
Lu Ming said mockingly, âAre you saying that theyâre innocent because each of them has a life on their hands? How do you think they got in? How many people did Tang Nishang take bribes from because of her husbandâs position? Nine years ago, she even killed a young child. However, she relied on the Tang family to find a scapegoat. Tang Wanxi got involved in the casino and did many things like selling organs!
âThereâs no need to talk about Tang Wenyi. As for Tang Rongrong, she was quite direct. She simply sent the person she didnât like into the nightclub! As for your most outstanding child, Tang Yajing, she committed all kinds of evil. She was involved in gambling and drugs and killed countless people. Even now, those people havenât finished digging up the corpses!
Is that innocent?
All of them were punishable by death! Although he had long known that the Tang family was not clean, he did not expect them to be so âpowerfulâ! In this case, Tang Wenyi was actually the purest among the five sisters! This was really ironic!
Tang Boyan did not expect that evidence on his crimes would be made public. He staggered and finally knelt on the ground. Tears streamed down his face as he said, âI really know my mistakes! I instigated them to do that. Itâs all my fault! Iâll bear the crimes for them!â
âHow many lives do you have to pay?! Theyâre not children. Theyâre already so old. Donât they know that what they did was against the law?! If I spare them today, will those vengeful spirits who died rest in peace?! In public, their deaths are indeed not worth pitying. In private⦠Heh, you bullied my mother to death. How can I let you off?!
âNow you know how to beg for mercy? Let me tell you, itâs too late! I want you to see the destruction of the Tang family empire that you built with your own eyes!â
As he spoke, he waved the document beside him. The sharp corner hit Tang Boyanâs forehead, and blood immediately flowed out! Tang Boyan no longer had his usual arrogance and only kept apologizing. However, only he knew how much of it was true. However, Lu Ming knew very well that such a person would not repent at all. If he gave the other party another chance, he would only be more ruthless!
âAre you still glad that the Tang family left a bloodline who ran out so that they wouldnât be completely wiped out?â
Tang Boyan suddenly looked up. How did the other party know about this?! But he had been in the business world for so many years, so he quickly pretended to be calm and said, âWhat are you talking about? I donât understand. The Tang family has already been arrested by the higher-ups. Where did this grandson come from?â
âAre you playing dumb with me? Why donât you look at the photo before you speak?â
Lu Ming pointed at the photo that floated to the ground. Tang Boyan instinctively looked over.?Isnât it my grandson whoâs drinking at the bar??Although he was from the side family, he was still someone who could please him! That was why he used his connections to send him overseas. He wanted to come back one day to avenge them!
He frowned and no longer looked pitiful. He stared at Lu Ming and suppressed his anger. âWhat did you do to him?!â
Lu Ming didnât answer his question first. Instead, he said, âThe information shows that he just came of age, right? He molested a young girl to death, was involved in a hit-and-run, forced his classmate to prostitute herself in a nightclub, and seemed to be very close to Tang Yajing, right? I think he must have gotten into some bad habits. Indeed, everyone is like a family. Old and little beasts!
âWhat do you think I can do?â
Tang Boyan pounded the ground and said in disbelief, âNo! You canât do this! You canât be so ruthless!â
âTang Boyan, Iâve learned one thing from you selfish people. To cut the weeds, you have to remove the roots. It was because of your carelessness back then that todayâs outcome happened! Iâm different from you. I wonât let go of any chance to nip the bud!â
Lu Ming twirled his fountain pen and said, âAs soon as he gets off the plane, he will be arrested by the people I arranged overseas and sent to the juvenile detention center with the strictest management. Even if he can come out alive, I donât know how many days he will have left to live freely because Iâve already informed them that they have to treat this little bastard well!
âEven if he escaped abroad, it wouldnât help. Or rather, compared to back home. To him, this is heaven.â
Tang Boyan seemed to have lost all support and fell to the ground weakly. He muttered, âKill me, kill me!â He seemed to have thought of something and his eyes lit up. âI ordered someone to kill your mother! Every injustice has its perpetrator. If you have the ability, kill me! I just think that the life of a commoner canât compare to my daughter! She deserved to die! Iâ¦â
In the next second, he was kicked to the ground by Lu Ming!
