Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 94

Chapter 94: A Bloody Night (3)

Lu Manman looked at him in silence and waited.

He wiped the corners of his mouth and looked at the calm expression that Lu Manman deliberately put on. He went straight to the point and said, “After what happened last night, the Wen family used all of their connections and resources to prevent this from happening. You’re smart, so you should know by now that Wen Yun’s scandal has been exposed. It’s practically impossible for him to make a comeback in the political circle.”

“Hence, the Wen family resorted to every means possible to take advantage of their status in Wen City to suppress the media industry. They gave all sorts of pressure to prevent the media from printing it or letting it appear on the major news websites. Of course, many media outlets had no choice but to submit because of the Wen family’s status. But there would always be one or two families that could survive without the Wen family’s protection.”

“You mean like the media.” Lu Manman interrupted.

“Of course I’m talking about more than one company.” Mo Yuanxiu continued calmly. “I don’t have to explain to you what else is important. Just remember that the Wen family isn’t so powerful as to control everything. Hence, there’s no way they can mask Wen Yun’s news. The Wen family knows that as well. At this point, what does the Wen family have to do to minimize Wen Yun’s impact on the news? Or rather, what made Wen Yun so proactive after being exposed is exactly what the Wen family was thinking about last night.”

“So their target is me?” Lu Manman scoffed.

“All of Wen Yun’s negative news came from you. You’re the culprit.” Mo Yuanxiu hit the nail on the head.

Lu Manman bit her lip.

“Killing the main culprit is the best way to protect Wen Yun.” Mo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman, and his expression did not change, but his eyes deepened, and his voice went a little cold. “There are three reasons. First, once you’re dead, no one knows if he forced you to have sex last night, or if you two were willing to have sex. Only Wen Yun was involved, and there’s no way to verify that! And I believe that the Wen family has the ability to make the outside world think that what happened last night belonged to the latter. Second, if it was news from the same period, the best option would be for more sensational news to appear and confuse everyone in order to make sure that no one would notice it. And Miss Lu Manman, if you suddenly died, the news should be even more sensational than the one about you and Wen Yun having an affair last night. The Wen family can totally take advantage of the chaos and retreat safely. Third…”

He looked at her and deliberately paused for a moment.

She kept her composure.

He seemed to chuckle for a while before saying, “Third, the Wen family wants to take this opportunity to put me down. You know that the focus of the public has been on you, Wen Yun, and me recently, and I’m starting to outshine him. This is unacceptable for an aristocratic family like the Wen family. Hence, the Wen family will surely seize every opportunity to eliminate all obstacles and create their own room for development. Your death is undoubtedly an opportunity. After all, I was the last person you came into contact with before you died. Even if the police proved my innocence in the end, the public would still have their doubts and prejudices against me.”

“In summary, to Wen Yun, killing you won’t only bring him three benefits but also take revenge on all the negative news you’ve caused him recently. Your death is worth it to him!” Mo Yuanxiu spoke casually throughout the whole process as if he was discussing an accident that didn’t concern him.

Lu Manman’s eyes flickered as she looked out the window at the radiant sunlight. At this point, the sunlight seemed to reflect sarcastically on her hair, face, and clothes. In this lifetime, Wen Yun was still as merciless as ever.

Her lips curled up, but it was gone in the blink of an eye.

“How do you know all of this?” Lu Manman said calmly as she looked straight at Mo Yuanxiu. This man was stronger than she’d expected.

There were so many layers to this. How could the twenty-five-year-old Mo Yuanxiu be so meticulous in his thinking? Not only did he think of all of this, but he had also made ample preparations before the accident. If he had made even the slightest mistake, she might have been thrown into that cold coffin again.

She was a little shocked.

But she was more curious about Mo Yuanxiu.

Who was he exactly?

“Miss Lu, rather than finding out what kind of person I am, why don’t you think carefully about what you want to do to Wen Yun next.” Mo Yuanxiu seemed to know what Lu Manman was thinking about and continued plainly. “Now that the news has gone viral, Wen Yun is despised by everyone in Wen City. If you were to tell everyone that the two of you made love willingly last night, Wen Yun would still be able to see the light of day. On the other hand, if you were to say that your relationship is over, then Wen Yun’s political career would be over!”

Lu Manman looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “You still don’t trust me?”

“I’m just giving you the choice.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll really choose the second option? In that case, all that you’ve done would go to waste!” Lu Manman was agitated.

She simply could not imagine how powerful Mo Yuanxiu was.

“Ruining it at the last minute won’t have much of an impact on my life,” Mo Yuanxiu said coldly.

It wouldn’t have much of an impact?

How could Mo Yuanxiu say something so arrogant and self-absorbed!

“Here’s your cell phone. Think about it.” Mo Yuanxiu returned the cell phone to her and then left.

Lu Manman looked at her phone, which was still dark. She felt an indescribable emotion surge in her chest…

Again, who was Mo Yuanxiu exactly?!
