Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Chan’er last night. How did it become his own daughter?

He immediately sent someone to find Rong Chan’er. He would not let her off easily if she was the one who framed him!

However, his people couldn’t find Rong Chan’er. Lu Huai was furious.

This Rong Chan’er must have run away after doing something wrong.

He ordered people to capture Rong Chan’er’s parents as well as her sister, Rong Mei’er. He also asked Rong Yong to call Rong Chan’er.

If Rong Chan’er didn’t appear to receive her punishment now, her family would receive her punishment!

Rong Yong and He Li didn’t know that Rong Chan’er was so bold. She actually climbed into Lu Huai’s bed and plotted against him.

They tried to contact her but to no avail. Rong Mei’er tried calling her sister and the call went through.

Rong Mei’er scolded angrily, “Rong Chan’er, how dare you harm the Lu family! Come back quickly! Dad, Mom, and 1 have been captured by the Lu family!”

Rong Chan’er replied with a laugh, “What does that have to do with me?”

“When I was hurt by Lu Linlin last time, didn’t all of you gloat and mock me repeatedly?”

“Rong Mei’er, you’ve already become an ugly monster. What’s the point of living? Just die in my place and take it as helping your sister. Do something valuable so you don’t die in vain!”

Rong Mei’er covered her face and was so angry that her entire body shook. She could not speak.

Rong Yong and He Li’s faces turned green when they heard this. Rong Yong scolded angrily, “Rong Chan’er, get back here immediately. You are the one who made this mess, and we won’t help you clean it up. Are you trying to kill your mother and me?”

Rong Chan’er replied, “I won’t go back. When I was with Song Hai last time, you didn’t 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!”

He Li was angered to tears. She wanted to curse at Rong Chan’er, but Rong Chan’er had already hung up.

Rong Mei’er called again, but the Rong Chan’er had already switched off her phone. Hopelessness filled the air.

If Rong Chan’er didn’t come back, they would have to suffer Lu Huai’s punishment.

The three of them were terrified just thinking about it. They hugged each other and cried.

When Lu Huai found out that Rong Chan’er had escaped and ignored the Rong family, he was furious and sent someone to teach the three Rong family members a lesson.

However, Rong Chan’er 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 caller’s voice was hoarse as he told Lu Huai that he knew where Rong Chan’er was hiding.

Lu Huai was suspicious but he still sent people to check out the address. He did not expect to find Rong Chan’er in a farm overseas and his men brought her back to the country.

Rong Chan’er 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 Chan’er felt miserable in the face of her parents and sister’s 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 master’s 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 wasn’t sure if he had touched his daughter.

He only thought about the many ways he would torture Rong Chan’er.

“Rong Chan’er, do you think that I won’t be able to find you after you escaped?”

Rong Chan’er struggled and asked, “Impossible, impossible. How did you find me? I hid so well.”

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 Mei’er.

If Lu Huai couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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. “If 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!”

He suddenly pulled her hair. He was so strong that Rong Chan’er felt as if her scalp was being yanked off and cried out in pain.

“Tell me, when did you start scheming against me?” Lu Huai asked.

Rong Chan’er gritted her teeth and didn’t want to say anything.

Because she had promised the person who helped her. If she told, only death awaited her.

“You won’t tell me, huh? Then let’s see how long you can remain stubborn!”

Lu Huai’s expression was fierce as he gestured to his subordinates. Immediately, two men grabbed Rong Chan’er’s wrists and placed her hands over a wooden plank with upturned nails.

One of them pressed her hand down toward the plank.

“All, don’t, don’t. Spare my life and I’ll tell you.”

Rong Chan’er 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, “Linlin and I, did…did we have sex?”

Rong Chan’er 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.

“What happened exactly? Tell me honestly!”

Rong Chan’er cried and said, “I 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.”

“That person taught me how to take revenge. Every time 1 did something, he would transfer some money to me.”

“An unknown number?”

Lu Huai thought about the unknown number that called him too. His expression was hostile as he asked Rong Chan’er to tell him the number.

Rong Chan’er 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.

“Rong Chan’er, are you playing me?”

“No, I’m not. Someone really called me and transferred money to me!”

Rong Chan’er’s 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 couldn’t believe it and wanted to rub her eyes.

No, this couldn’t be true!

She took five million yuan from Tang Beibei and gave three million to her parents and Rong Mei’er. 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!

“No, the money in my account has been stolen, and the outbound transfer record has been deleted. You must believe me.” Rong Chan’er 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.

“Rong Chan’er, it looks like you really want to die!”

“No, Master Huai, think about it. If I didn’t have someone’s help, how could I have entered your social circle and seduced you?”

“I’ve also been used by someone. The person who harmed you wasn’t me!”

Lu Huai sneered. He no longer believed her words.

“Teach her a lesson and see if she will tell the truth!”
