Patriarch Cheng almost fainted in rage after glancing at the screen.

Back then, he got someone to seek a reprieve for Tang Qidai’s case because he did not think that the personal injury was that serious.

“You…” Patriarch Cheng pointed at Tang Qidai with a trembling finger and bereft of speech for a long time.

Tang Qidai knew that she was done for. She slumped to the ground with a dazed expression.

The video ended and the lights lit up.

Patriarch Cheng barely caught his breath and shouted, “Call the police! Call the police!”

Cheng Fanjing quickly ran up the stage to help Patriarch Cheng.

When she walked over, she held Patriarch Cheng with one hand and turned off the microphone with the other.

“Grandpa, you can’t be too emotional right now. Don’t get too angry. Look at me. You still have me.”

Cheng Fanjing helped Patriarch Cheng slowly down the stage, comforting him in a low voice and patting his back to calm him down.

Patriarch Cheng’s mood improved a little. “Fanjing…”

“Let Dad handle the matters here. Don’t overthink it. I’ll send you back to rest.” When Cheng Fanjing got off the stage, she glanced at Lin Shanchu.

Leaning lightly against Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu tilted her head and stared at Tang Qidai, who was slumped on stage. Cheng Fanjing could not understand the complicated emotions in her eyes.

This woman really had some tricks up her sleeve.

She was also ruthless enough.

Cheng Fanjing quickly averted her gaze and helped Patriarch Cheng leave.

Cheng Fanjing’s father stayed behind to clean up the mess.

“I am very sorry that such an accident has occurred. Today’s banquet will temporarily end. The Cheng family will definitely hold a banquet to apologize to everyone in the future…

The guests showed him respect and left one after another.

The fun was over anyway. Although some people still wanted to stay and watch Tang Qidai get arrested by the police, they had no choice but to leave since they still had to associate with the Cheng family in the future.

In any case, they could witness the rest of the drama at the hotel entrance.

The police would definitely leave through the entrance after they arrested Tang Qidai.

Shortly afterwards, the banquet hall became empty.

Ming Yao looked around before her gaze fell on Yun Yi. “Aren’t you leaving?

Yun Yi pursed his lips and looked at Huo Xunzhou.

“Big Brother, you guys go first,” Huo Xunzhou said slowly as he grabbed Lin Shanchu’s hand under the table.

Yun Jin still wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold, so he echoed, “Goodbye, Big Brother.”

After glancing at Yun Jin, Yun Yi ordered indifferently, “Goodbye? Let’s go together.”

“I don’t want to…” Yun Jin’s voice trailed off as he still wanted to act shamelessly.

Yun Yi stood up and dragged him away.

“Come home early when you’re done,” Yun Yi said to Huo Xunzhou before he left.

Huo Xunzhou nodded lightly.

After watching them leave, Huo Xunzhou turned his head and called out softly,

“Shanshan?”

When the video started playing just now, Lin Shanchu rested her head on his shoulder and watched it silently.

She had been silent for a long time.

“And Jing Ming,” Lin Shanchu said softly as she slowly sat up straight.

Huo Xunzhou gripped her hand and comforted her silently.

Lin Shanchu turned around and smiled at him. Then, she stood up and strode toward Tang Qidai.

Tang Qidai was still slumped on the floor, as if she had lost her soul.

Zhai Ci was scolding her at the side.

“To think that you were clean and pitiful. Damn it… You’re actually a murderer! You have utterly embarrassed me!”

As he cursed, he fearfully kept his distance from Tang Qidai, as if he was afraid that she would smash his head with something like she did in the video. When Zhai Ci saw Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou walking over, he immediately retreated with a stiff expression.

Compared to the murderer, Tang Qidai, he was more afraid of Huo Xunzhou.

After all, Tang Qidai was a woman. If she wanted to kill him, he still had the strength to subdue her.

However, if the other party was Huo Xunzhou, he would be powerless to fight back.

However, Huo Xunzhou looked more normal than the murderer, Tang Qidai. Zhai Ci thought that as long as he did not provoke Huo Xunzhou, he would not try to kill him.

Tang Qidai slowly raised her head and met Lin Shanchu’s gaze.

Tang Qidai’s lips parted into a strange smile that seemed a little crazy.

“I knew you wouldn’t let me off the hook.” In contrast to her expression, her tone was very calm.

There was a strange calmness and peace of mind, as if a person who was walking on a tightrope had finally reached the other side.

“I’ve been planning hard in my entire life just to have a better life, but in the end, all my efforts were in vain! Why can’t you just let me off the hook?! Huh?

Why?!”

Tang Qidai crawled toward Lin Shanchu with a ferocious expression.

Huo Xunzhou raised his hand and gestured for the staff to hold Tang Qidai down.

However, Lin Shanchu took a few steps forward and stepped on Tang Qidai’s head.

The staff members who were about to subdue Tang Qidai were stunned. They looked at each other and then turned to Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou raised his hand slightly, indicating for them to stay out of it.

Lin Shanchu was no longer the sickly Lin Shanchu from before.

After Lin Shanchu stepped on Tang Qidai’s head, the latter struggled for a long time, but her foot did not budge at all.

“Lin Shanchu, let go of me!”

Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly, looking a little impatient and puzzled.

“I didn’t let you off the hook?” Lin Shanchu chuckled. “Do you still think you’re in this state just because I didn’t let you off the hook?”

Lin Shanchu slowly squatted down and carefully examined Tang Qidai’s face.

“But you’re right. I’ve never thought of letting you off the hook.

“You tried to escape and cover up the crime of intentional murder with ill intention. Will you be sentenced to death or life imprisonment?”

Lin Shanchu chuckled. “I hope it’s going to be life imprisonment. After all, life in prison is regulated. You can spend the rest of your life peacefully in there, right?”

Tang Qidai paled and trembled in fear when she just imagined spending the rest of her life in a dark prison.

Lin Shanchu continued, “Being sentenced to death isn’t bad either. You’ve lived your entire life but you still understand nothing. You might as well just die. Don’t be a human in your next life…” “Police investigation! Unrelated personnel, please leave the scene!” At this moment, the police rushed over.

Lin Shanchu slowly withdrew her foot from Tang Qidai’s head.

Huo Xunzhou walked up to her, grabbed her shoulder strap and led her away.

When the police ran to the stage to arrest Tang Qidai, they brushed past her.

Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks for a moment but did not turn back. She leaned on Huo Xunzhou’s shoulder and whispered, “I’m a little tired.”

Huo Xunzhou patted her head and said gently, “Let’s go home and rest.” Lin Shanchu nodded and asked, “Where’s Number 1357?

Huo Xunzhou whispered to her, “He’s at the entrance. I saw him just now.”

“Oh.”

As expected, Lin Shanchu saw Number 1357 at the entrance..
