Chapter 136 - You Filthy Liar! The Truth Is Out Open

Li Zhi nearly went berserk when he saw the recordings and screamed as he stared at Yue Wan. He really wants to tear her apart, but he felt an imposing presence wash over him.

He turned to its source and saw Yue Xinag staring at him with deep and impressive eyes. He was stunned into immobility.

With Yue Xing staring him down, he didn't dare to behave wantonly.

"It's fake! This video is forged! This is not true!" a high-pitched voice of Li Rong ranged in the hall. His face was pale as if his soul had left his body.

Xiao Ran sneered as she heard this. "The evidence is crystal clear, You had an affair with Lu Jia in order to frame Miss Yue and when you found out that she might leak the information, you killed her. Now, you're using Miss Lu Meili to put your crime on the Yue's head."

Li Rong jerked in a panic on hearing her accusations. "NO!! ...I did not!! No! I have never been in a relationship with her. This is all fake! Fake!" His gaze turned unfocused as everything started to spin out of control.

Li Rong was not a strong character in the first place, so he was scared of being arrested. If that happened, he could lose everything in the name of fame and power.

He was the Li family's Young Master; he had never suffered such humiliation before…His heart throbbed in fear of tarnishing his reputation.

Hands in his pockets, Yue Xiang stood before Li Rong. "If I recall, when the Yue family was having a party, you brought a woman as your partner into the Yue household, who tried to kill my sister along with Lu Jia. Am I right?"

In a shocked voice, Chen Ai asked Tai Sun but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. "What? You mean that woman, Fan Diayu who was expelled from WAX, was one of his accomplices too?"

Tai Sun turned to look at Li Rong, the smugness and taunting in his eyes on full display. He then followed her with the same tone: "Lu Jia, Fan Daiyu and who else? I never thought that Young Master Li had so many affairs just to give Miss Yue a hard time both at school and at home."

Hearing this, Li Rong suddenly seemed to wake up from his daze. He broke out in cold sweat, his taut voice immediately explained anxiously: "No, no, it's not like that! Don't believe her! I don't even know that woman! This was all a misunderstanding!" defense tumbled out of his mouth.

The more he denied the more people looked at him as the culprit, and that's what Yue Wan wanted.

Li Zhi's eyes swam with fear, freezing his entire body to the spot. 

"What an eye-opener! We found the true face of the Li family and the Wei family."

"No wonder that man looked familiar, it was the Young Master Li! When did he have the taste for older women?"

"Well, the evidence is clear that he had an affair with Miss Lu Jia and he doesn't have anything to prove his innocence. So he might have killed her to hide their affair."

"In order to marry Young Miss Yue, he killed that woman!! What an animal."

Li Rong had never received such menacing glares and horrible insults in his entire life. Shaking his head vigorously, he shouted in fear: "I didn't… kill... didn't… It's not like that…"

"You filthy liar! The truth is out open. What is the use of denying it? Even Master Li is shocked by seeing your true face. How could one support a killer!" A person yelled.

The guests were discussing it frantically.

Li Zhi opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but his words were caught in his throat. In such a case, if he told the truth to save his son, then it would be a disaster for him. Even if he tried to pull an excuse out of thin air, no one would believe him, also he didn't even know where to begin.

Everybody clicked their tongues in disapproval and took a look at Elder Xiao.

"Elder Xiao, capture this person. He ought to be imprisoned for his crimes."

"He should be arrested for kidnapping and murdering that woman."

A few spectators felt that Lu Meili was a pawn in Li Rong's arrangement as well. So they voiced out against her.

"This woman, who came to get justice for her Aunt, must be one of Li's sweethearts as well. The couple plotted to sabotage the Yue family's relationship with the Xiao. She should be arrested along with the Li boy."

Lu Meili didn't dare lift her head to see those provocative stares.  She gripped her fists tightly, to suppress the anxiety bubbling up in her heart. She kept her appearance as if she doesn't exist.

Xiao Ran turned to her grandfather and signed: "Grandpa, what do you think? Shall I take the step and call the cops?"

Li Rong's mind shut down upon hearing the word arrest. Adrenaline rushed into his mind and didn't give him time to think or to analyze.

When he saw the disparaging expressions of the others as well as the icy stare of Xiao Ran, he began to panic.

In fear of being jailed, he blurted subconsciously: "Wait wait!! I indeed went to the hotel with a woman but that...person... is.. is.. Wei Wan... that person is Wei Wan."

His voice was sharp and ear-piercing, causing discomfort to everyone's eardrums.

Inside the hall, there was dead silence. Only Li Rong's shout rang out and he stood there by pointing his finger at Wei Wan who was in Mr. Guo's embrace.

Li Zhi's palms began to sweat when he heard his son's nonsensical words. However, before he could stop Li Rong, the words were spilled.

Xiao Ran scoffed with a disdain gaze: "Do you have proof?"

Like a rattled head, he nodded and cried: "Yes, Yes... You can ask Wei Wan."

After saying that he rushed to Wei Wan and said: "Wan Wan, you tell them the truth!"

Wei Wan stayed aloof with an empty gaze.

"It was you who was with me at that hotel and during the grant proposal at the bar. Right?"

Still, silence came from the other side.

Li Rong went crazy seeing her unresponsive behavior, he screamed in shock and fear: "Wan Wan! Wan Wan! Think about our relationship and my love!"

Li Rong could just say that Yue Wan conspired with Wei Wan to trap him, and also he could just add Lu Meili was their pawn, but to do that, he first needs Wei Wan to prove that the video was forged. Only then he could turn the table.

He moved to grasp her shoulder, but Mr. Guo halted his hand and warned: "Mr. Li, please mind your actions."

Seeing Mr. Guo's protective gesture, Li Rang roared in a wave of anger: "F**k off! How dare you touch her? She is my wo-----"

'Slap,' a heavy slap landed on Li Rong's face and interrupted his talk.
