The press conference was held at the lobby of the hotel owned by the Lu family.
Lu Huai and Lu Linlin were still confused after they were woken up by someone in the morning.
Especially Lu Linlin, whose face was swollen from her severe allergic reaction. She looked pale and haggard. At the thought of what her father had done that to her, she was so disgusted that she didnât want to see anyone.
However, the man she loved came forward at this time and told her how to deal with the crisis. She felt that there was light again in her dark world.
The only light in her life from now on was this man who was holding her hand and saying that she would be engaged to him.
However, what she didnât know was that the light that brought her out from the darkness now could also pull her back to hell behind her back.
The press conference was organized to calm the storm and solidify their engagement.
Lu Huai felt that Song Kai was a courageous man who knew how to protect his daughter. His confidence in Song Kai grew.
However, he would never let this matter rest.
He had clearly gone up to the room with Rong Chanâer last night. How did it become his own daughter?
He immediately sent someone to find Rong Chanâer. He would not let her off easily if she was the one who framed him!
However, his people couldnât find Rong Chanâer. Lu Huai was furious.
This Rong Chanâer must have run away after doing something wrong.
He ordered people to capture Rong Chanâerâs parents as well as her sister, Rong Meiâer. He also asked Rong Yong to call Rong Chanâer.
If Rong Chanâer didnât appear to receive her punishment now, her family would receive her punishment!
Rong Yong and He Li didnât know that Rong Chanâer was so bold. She actually climbed into Lu Huaiâs bed and plotted against him.
They tried to contact her but to no avail. Rong Meiâer tried calling her sister and the call went through.
Rong Meiâer scolded angrily, âRong Chanâer, how dare you harm the Lu family! Come back quickly! Dad, Mom, and 1 have been captured by the Lu family!â
Rong Chanâer replied with a laugh, âWhat does that have to do with me?â
âWhen I was hurt by Lu Linlin last time, didnât all of you gloat and mock me repeatedly?â
âRong Meiâer, youâve already become an ugly monster. Whatâs the point of living? Just die in my place and take it as helping your sister. Do something valuable so you donât die in vain!â
Rong Meiâer covered her face and was so angry that her entire body shook. She could not speak.
Rong Yong and He Liâs faces turned green when they heard this. Rong Yong scolded angrily, âRong Chanâer, get back here immediately. You are the one who made this mess, and we wonât help you clean it up. Are you trying to kill your mother and me?â
Rong Chanâer replied, âI wonât go back. When I was with Song Hai last time, you didnât stop me. You even encouraged me and caused my assault. And then you called me a slut. I shall let you have a taste of being betrayed now!â
He Li was angered to tears. She wanted to curse at Rong Chanâer, but Rong Chanâer had already hung up.
Rong Meiâer called again, but the Rong Chanâer had already switched off her phone. Hopelessness filled the air.
If Rong Chanâer didnât come back, they would have to suffer Lu Huaiâs punishment.
The three of them were terrified just thinking about it. They hugged each other and cried.
When Lu Huai found out that Rong Chanâer had escaped and ignored the Rong family, he was furious and sent someone to teach the three Rong family members a lesson.
However, Rong Chanâer still had to be found. He had to find her so she could tell him the whole story. And then, he would make her die a horrible death!
At this moment, Lu Huai received a call from an unknown number. The callerâs voice was hoarse as he told Lu Huai that he knew where Rong Chanâer was hiding.
Lu Huai was suspicious but he still sent people to check out the address. He did not expect to find Rong Chanâer in a farm overseas and his men brought her back to the country.
Rong Chanâer thought that she had hidden herself well, but she was still found. She was shocked, but even more terrified.
There was probably no way for her to escape alive once she came back to the country.
She was locked up in a dark room and saw her parents and sister. The three of them no longer had any affection for her. They only wanted her to die quickly so that they might live.
Rong Chanâer felt miserable in the face of her parents and sisterâs curses and disdain.
When she saw Lu Huai again, she had been brought into another dark room.
As soon as she sat down, an extremely bright light was shone at her face, making her shrink back in fear.
However, her limbs were tied to the chair, and she could not break free. After a loud bang, she heard footsteps.
Lu Huai walked in, looking pale after being taught a lesson at home by the old master of the Lu family. There were wounds on his body from the old masterâs beating and he was fuming.
He was played by a woman he fooled around with, and he even implicated the woman he loved the most.
Moreover, he himself wasnât sure if he had touched his daughter.
He only thought about the many ways he would torture Rong Chanâer.
âRong Chanâer, do you think that I wonât be able to find you after you escaped?â
Rong Chanâer struggled and asked, âImpossible, impossible. How did you find me? I hid so well.â
She framed Lu Huai and knew that once she was found out, Lu Huai would never forgive her. Therefore, she had long planned her escape route and would return to the country only after the storm died down.
She was not surprised at all when she received the call from her parents and Rong Meiâer.
If Lu Huai couldnât find her, he would look for her family.
However, her family members were all selfish and not good people.
Besides, murder was illegal. Lu Huai would at most torture them for a while.
He would let them go eventually if he couldnât find her.
But now, she had been captured.
Her tragedy was about to begin.
Perhaps, what awaited her was death!
Lu Huai sneered and squeezed her face. âIf your Master Huai can torture you in bed and make you cry, he can also torture you off bed and make you wish you were dead!â
He suddenly pulled her hair. He was so strong that Rong Chanâer felt as if her scalp was being yanked off and cried out in pain.
âTell me, when did you start scheming against me?â Lu Huai asked.
Rong Chanâer gritted her teeth and didnât want to say anything.
Because she had promised the person who helped her. If she told, only death awaited her.
âYou wonât tell me, huh? Then letâs see how long you can remain stubborn!â
Lu Huaiâs expression was fierce as he gestured to his subordinates. Immediately, two men grabbed Rong Chanâerâs wrists and placed her hands over a wooden plank with upturned nails.
One of them pressed her hand down toward the plank.
âAll, donât, donât. Spare my life and Iâll tell you.â
Rong Chanâer cried and begged for mercy as she watched the nails pierce through her hand.
Lu Huai asked the two of them to leave and asked in a low voice, âLinlin and I, didâ¦did we have sex?â
Rong Chanâer cried and shook her head. They had both fainted, how could they have sex? It was just a hoax she created.
Lu Huai heaved a sigh of relief. He had not done anything to his daughter, or he would live the rest of his life with regret.
âWhat happened exactly? Tell me honestly!â
Rong Chanâer cried and said, âI received a call from an unknown number. The caller said that he could help me get revenge. 1 have been framed by Lu Linlin and she ruined my reputation. 1 wanted revenge.â
âThat person taught me how to take revenge. Every time 1 did something, he would transfer some money to me.â
âAn unknown number?â
Lu Huai thought about the unknown number that called him too. His expression was hostile as he asked Rong Chanâer to tell him the number.
Rong Chanâer said it was on her phone and asked him to check.
Lu Huai turned on her phone to check, but there were no unknown numbers on her phone.
âRong Chanâer, are you playing me?â
âNo, Iâm not. Someone really called me and transferred money to me!â
Rong Chanâerâs hand was covered in blood. She endured the pain and checked her phone. She opened her account and saw that there was no money in it. She couldnât believe it and wanted to rub her eyes.
No, this couldnât be true!
She took five million yuan from Tang Beibei and gave three million to her parents and Rong Meiâer. So, she should have two million yuan in her account.
Including money transferred to her by the unknown number, there should be at least 2.5 million in her account. How could there be nothing left?
Someone had stolen her money!
âNo, the money in my account has been stolen, and the outbound transfer record has been deleted. You must believe me.â Rong Chanâer cried.
However, Lu Huai did not believe her. This woman had already lied to him once. She was a liar. She must be lying again to escape punishment.
âRong Chanâer, it looks like you really want to die!â
âNo, Master Huai, think about it. If I didnât have someoneâs help, how could I have entered your social circle and seduced you?â
âIâve also been used by someone. The person who harmed you wasnât me!â
Lu Huai sneered. He no longer believed her words.
âTeach her a lesson and see if she will tell the truth!â
