C40

My mind went blank. I even saw it yesterday morning, how come it's gone now? I couldn't believe it, so I rummaged through it a few more times. The picture was gone. This is bad! What should he do?

After two or three minutes, I calmed down again, thinking that I still had evidence that Lou Cheng had embezzled public funds. Even without those photos, he still wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!

When I returned to the venue, Xia Peiyun had already left. I sat there alone, unable to figure out why the photo had disappeared without a trace.

Eh? Where's Zhong Ruoqing? I just realized that Zhong Ruoqing, who should have been sitting beside her, was now a relative of another Lou Family.

Strange! He hadn't seen her since he entered the arena. Where had she gone?

As I was wondering, the master of ceremonies finished his speech and invited the old man to address the court.

Everyone applauded as they all turned to look at the old man, Shui Huanniang.

Although the age of the locust is 80 years old, but the spirit is hale and hearty. He usually did not smile at all, he always had a straight face, which was like a mountain, oppressing others. Forget about Lou Family, everyone was afraid of him, even I was a little afraid of him.

He stood on the stage, scanned the room solemnly, and gestured to everyone, who quickly fell silent and sat upright, ready to listen to him.

After a short speech of thanks, Lou Huainan began, "I have something very important to announce to you today."

As his words fell, my heart raced, and I looked past him to the big screen behind him, where a scene was about to set off an uproar.

"I have decided to distribute all the shares of the 'Tianyue' group under my name to my sons, Lou Yuanhai and my grandchildren."

"Wait a minute!"

A domineering male voice came from the entrance of the venue, interrupting Lou Huainian's speech.

My whole body shuddered. This voice was too familiar to me.

It's Lou Shaotang!

I looked back at the door, startled, and the others followed.

That's right, it was really Lou Shaotang!

He wore a handmade black suit, and with a cold and arrogant expression, he walked towards the center of the venue step by step.

There was still another person at his side, Zhong Ruoqing!

I was completely stunned.

Like me, everyone in Lou Family was thoroughly shocked, and their expressions changed greatly.

Before anyone could figure out what happened, Shen Yiru was the first to stand up, "Shao Tang!"

Her excited cries woke Lou Family and I from our shock. I looked at them, and their eyes were filled with disbelief and fear. It was as if they had seen a ghost.

My mind is in a mess, what is this situation? Why is he here? Also, how could Zhong Ruoqing be with him?

I blankly watched him walk towards the old man step by step. Countless questions were tangled into a ball of hair in my mind, unable to be solved.

"Young, Shao Tang?" Looking at Lou Shaotang who was standing in front of him, the old man was in disbelief, his voice trembling.

Lou Shaotang slightly smiled, "It's me, Grandfather."

He raised his hand and caressed Lou Shaotang's face, "Shao Tang, you, you're awake?"

Lou Shaotang nodded, "Yes, grandfather. I'm awake."

The old man was extremely happy as he hugged Lou Shaotang tightly. He was so excited that tears fell from his eyes.

Lou Shaotang's sudden appearance was like a bomb that was thrown into a calm lake, shocking them all to the point that they were all dumbfounded and unable to say a single word.

I laughed, this kind of appearance is really Lou Shaotang.

But why would he choose this time? I didn't hear him say it before I came here. Forget it, he definitely had his reasons, so he might as well ask later.

Just as I was about to drink a mouthful of water to calm my emotions, I heard someone give out a shout of surprise. Soon after, other people also made a sound of surprise, their eyes were all wide open as they stared at the big screen, causing a commotion.

I raised my teacup to cover my laugh. They must have seen the evidence of the corruption in the official funds. But the next second, I realized something was wrong. Everyone's gaze was on me, and they were all pointing at me, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

I frowned doubtfully. What's going on? Looking back at the big screen, I was so shocked that I stood up. The teacup in my hand fell to the ground. Hot tea spilled all over my body, but my entire body was ice-cold.

On the screen, it wasn't Lou Cheng's crime of embezzlement, but a naked photo of me sleeping with him!
