Naturally, the shareholders were delighted to hear this news.

Although the Luo Group had achieved good results in their latest projects, there was still a noticeable decline..

Luo Feng’s departure caused the Luo Corporation’s stock price to plummet, and it never returned to its peak level.

This was also why they were in a hurry to let Liao Hong and her daughter take over. After all, Liao Hong and her daughter had granted them a lot of authority.

“What do you think, shareholders? If there are no objections, I would like to ask for Madam Liao Hong’s opinion.” Lu Zhao looked at Liao Hong.

Liao Hong was a little flustered. Her face had already turned as red as a pig’s liver.

The company must not be bought over by the Luya Group.

There was no other reason than to conduct a detailed investigation of the financial situation of a company.

As long as they dug deep, they would find out everything that Liao Hong and her mother had done in the past. For Liao Hong and her mother, this matter was no longer a simple corporate merger, but a criminal investigation that put them both at risk.

“Mother-in-law, what do you think?” Lu Zhao looked at Liao Hong and said.

He held Luo Ying’s hand tightly, signalling her not to panic.

“Son-in-law, I’m truly touched by your actions. However, since Luo Ying is a married daughter, she’s like water that has been poured out. Why would I trouble you with the acquisition of such a trashy company?” Liao Hong said in a panic.

“Liao Hong, what are you getting at? Doubling the stock price is a good thing for us and the Luya Group. What reason do you have to refuse?” Yao Xi stared at Liao Hong.

“D’Corporeal would never even come close to doubling our stock prices. Perhaps you are hiding something from us, Ms. Liao?” Yao Xi sneered.

Yao Xi’s words made Liao Hong speechless.

Liao Hong tugged at her sleeves and looked at Yao Xi with bloodshot eyes.

“I’ve done so much for the company. Is this how you repay me?” Liao Hong looked at the remaining shareholders.

The remaining shareholders did not look at Liao Hong. Instead, they all turned to Lu Zhao.

They were not philanthropists, nor did they feel any sense of belonging with the Luo Family. Anything that benefited them would be their golden goose.

It was obvious that cooperating with Luo Ying and Lu Zhao would bring them greater benefits.

“Then I’ll get someone to investigate later.” After Lu Zhao finished speaking, he pulled Luo Ying and turned to leave.

Luo Ying didn’t know much about the business world, but she understood what Lu Zhao meant. He didn’t really want to take over the company. He was just helping her.

The shareholders filed out of the meeting room.

Liao Hong and Luo Wan were left standing in the office.

Luo Wan was already trembling.

“Mom, what if what if they find us out?” Luo Wan gripped her phone.

“You were the one who did all that. What can I do about it?” Liao Hong frowned and looked at Luo Wan. “Transfer the shares in your hands to me and then turn yourself in.”

Luo Wan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mom, what is the meaning of this? Are you planning to sacrifice me?”

Most of the forged records were performed by Luo Wan. She was also the person who made contact with Lin Su.

Luo Wan finally realized that she was the only one accountable. She was truly the only one bound for prison.

Luo Wan clenched her fists.

Her morner was truly gomg co Detray ner.

Luo Ying was guided back to the car by Lu Zhao.

“Xiao Ting, start the acquisition process and hand a lawyer’s letter to Liao Hong,” Lu Zhao said to Xiao Ting.

“President Lu, this is all very sudden. May I know what’s going on?” Xiao Ting asked in puzzlement.

“If I tell you to do it, do it. Don’t ask nonsense.” Lu Zhao held Luo Ying’s hand with a reassuring grip.

Luo Ying felt the man’s warm gaze on her.

“I’m fine, Lu Zhao. Thank you.” Luo Ying shook her head.

Doubling the stock price to strong-arm terms to favor him had not been a wise business decision. Lu Zhao was going to be lambasted from all sides for this.

Luo Ying’s heart ached all the more for Lu Zhao.

“I fear that Grandpa will have words for you,” Luo Ying said.

“Even if all my employees have a say about it, I will help you protect your company,” Lu Zhao said indifferently.

Luo Ying nodded and leaned her head on the man’s shoulder.

At that moment, Luo Ying’s phone rang. The moment she gazed at the screen, Luo Ying frowned..
