Sang Xue was in a hospital close to the police station. Everyone in the Sang family was sitting in the corridor of the hospital. All of their assets had been seized. They never knew that the Criminal Investigation Department would be able to reach so far.
Even assets that were hidden and not in the name of the Sang family were discovered by the Criminal Investigation Department. They had nowhere to go now so they stayed at the hospital. They had been living a luxurious life and were not used to being this miserable. Some had still not acknowledged reality yet.
Mrs. Sang received a WeChat message from Liang Qingru.
“Sis, something cropped up at work. I can’t leave. I won’t be able to visit Xue Er today.”
Mrs. Sang knew deep down that the Yi family intended to cut all ties with the Sang family. Her sister suddenly changing her mind proved it. The same thing had happened when she called the Liang family in the morning. In fact, what they had said was even harsher.
They felt that her daughter had offended the Lu family because she hadn’t raised her well.
All of them sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. They did not want to have anything to do with the Sang family currently.
Mrs. Sang held her phone tightly and looked down as she typed, “Okay.”
…
In front of the window at the end of the corridor.
Old Master Sang held his walking stick and pressed down onto the dragon head. He held his mobile phone in his other hand and was making phone calls to political friends that he used to have good connections with in the past.
Someone finally picked up. “Old Zhong, you have to help me. The Sang family was framed.”
The person on the other end of the phone sighed. “Who in the capital wants to be associated with the Sang family now? Even talking with you is risky.”
The Sang family was such a powerful family and yet the opposing party could put them to death in a matter of hours.
Who dared to speak a word about it?
Old Master Sang’s face turned pale with anger. “Even if the Lu family is behind this, is there no need for evidence? The investigation results aren’t even out yet!”
He had already thought about it. Regardless if the evidence was real or fake, he had to save the Sang Corporation even if he had to sacrifice many scapegoats.
“The results are no longer important.” Old Zhong thought that Old Master Sang was still unclear. He reminded him, “Lu Wu went to your house in person. You should have handed Sang Xue over to them to save the rest of the family. Yet, all of you decided to offend Red Scorpion and so…”
They were thoroughly investigated.
Everyone was saying that the evidence in the scandal was retrieved so quickly because hackers had hacked into the Sang Corporation’s computers as well as Sang Qi’s computer.
Also, they had no idea if the hacker really existed. No one dared to offend Red Scorpion’s intelligence organization.
Did the Sang family really think that they could treat Red Scorpion just because they had Second Old Master Lu behind them? The real master who called the shots at Red Scorpion was Young Master Lu!
Old Master Sang listened to him finish his speech. His resentment and hatred for Sang Xue rushed up and he gritted his teeth. “I didn’t know that little brat would do such a thing! She ruined the Sang family!”
“You shouldn’t bother with this. Find a way to apologize to the Lu family and that girl from the Meng family quickly. Have a chat with them about the compensation and the conditions. See if there’s still a way to turn things around.”
He hung up. Old Master Sang’s old face was filled with fury.
As he thought of the warning in the call just now, he held his walking stick and walked towards Sang Xue’s ward.
Thump! He pushed the door open.
The echo in the quiet corridor was really loud.
Seeing that things weren’t looking right, Mrs. Sang hurried over. “Dad, the doctor said that Xue Er still needs some rest.”
“Shut your mouth!” Old Master Sang gave her a cold look. “This is the daughter you raised! The entire Sang Family is ruined because of her!”
Mrs. Sang opened her mouth but she could not say anything. She looked really haggard.
Old Master Sang turned to Sang Xue, who was lying in the bed with her eyes open, and he said coldly, “Go to the affiliated hospital and apologize to the person who you beat right away! Even if it means you have to kneel down! Take responsibility for your mistakes!”
Sang Xue’s eyelashes trembled slightly and she wriggled her hands, which were wrapped with monitoring instruments. She hadn’t been conscious for long. As soon as she woke up she received the news that Gu Mang had taken action against the Sang family.
Old Master Sang looked at Mrs. Sang and ordered, “Take this little brat to make her apology now!”
He had just finished his sentence when suddenly there were hushed whispers from outside.
“G-Gu Mang…”
The terrified voices from the Sang family members outside could be heard from inside the hospital room. Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang were walking down the hallway with Lu Yi and Lu Qi following behind them.
Lu Chengzhou seldom appeared in the capital. Few could track his whereabouts. In the Sang family, only Mr. Sang had ever seen him.
Many in the Sang family did not recognize him. But when they saw his well-defined and clear face, they could guess who he was. As for Gu Mang, they had seen her the night before.
The memory of her beating up Sang Xue was still fresh in their minds. Old Master Sang turned around and saw a black figure. Gu Mang stood at the entrance of the ward, her aura overwhelming.
She was wearing a black baseball cap and she had one hand in her pocket. Her other hand was being held by a man who was dressed in a black suit.
Sang Xue glared at Gu Mang and forced herself to sit up. There was a crazy look in her eyes and it was filled with fury and hatred. It was as if she couldn’t wait to kill her.
When Old Master Sang saw Gu Mang, he thought that things would be easier from here on.
He turned around and took a few steps towards her. He lowered his tone humbly and greeted them. “Young Master Lu, Ms. Gu.”
