When Pei Ming's carriage left the orphanage, a taxi stopped not far away. It was the Taxi driver who brought them here.

After his subordinates drove away the crowd, Taxi driver blended into the crowd and loudly announced the situation when he rode his car. He had even embellished the scene of Guan Youyou and Pei Ming being extremely dirty, even implying that their illegitimate child was living in this orphanage, which was why he took a taxi here secretly.

This handkerchief had the unique totem of the Lu family and the word "Ming" on it. This was a personal item owned by Pei Zi Ming, and although it was easy to fake it, in the entire Li City, no one had ever dared to do such a reckless thing, not to mention this small driver.

… ….

The next day, the driver carried a picture of Lu Lu Ming's handkerchief and placed it in the Li City's local evening newspaper. The title was: A Visit to the Suburbs of the Lu Family. The whole article was rather cryptic and did not refer directly to Pei as a visit to his illegitimate son, but simply a visit to his family. It also did not say why he took a taxi and omitted the incident in the motorcade that followed.

Although the whole story was not made up directly, according to the facts before, anyone who read it would have their imagination run wild.

The scariest part was that the driver had secretly taken pictures of Guan Youyou's side profile and posted it on the internet. A few days after the post was posted, the person who met Guan Youyou and the others in the shopping mall immediately recognized them and posted a picture of them having fun together. This time, he had confirmed the rumor of her having an illegitimate child. Moreover, it wasn't just an illegitimate child, but an illegitimate child as well.

The post was seen by the staff of the children's clothing store. The manager, who harbored hatred in his heart, showed disdain for Pei Ming on the internet, saying that he had brought many children to buy things in order to hide his identity as a child.

Online public opinion is all over the news against Mr. Lu, and more responsibility to create something spread. As the saying goes, the public is not to blame. In public opinion, the manager of the children's clothing store repeatedly insulted Mr. Lu, claiming that he deliberately sabotaged and insulted them on the basis of his wealth, causing a lot of physical and psychological harm and even posting the employee's medical records.

The thread went viral on several of the big forums in the Li City. Finally, someone recognized that the woman in the photo was the Guan Family's Second Miss. They began to question, Guan Youyou was not even 18 years old, how could she have such a child?

Thus, after racking their brains, the editors released a variety of soft articles on the internet the next day. Some of the headlines were: "The stepmother is still an underage, while others are more straightforward: Miss Guan joined the Lu family for the sake of joining them. She did not hesitate to be a stepmother to accompany them on shopping trips, while others made various guesses: Where is the child's mother?"

… ….

The negative news spread like wildfire for several days. Even the Lu family's stock was affected and plummeted. This matter finally caught Lu Zhenhua's attention. He knew that he couldn't get involved with Pu Zi Ming, so he decided to target the culprit, the Taxi driver.

… ….

Ever since he had appeared in the newspaper, Taxi driver's business had become exceptionally good. Needless to say, he stopped his car in the neighborhood every day, and the next morning, someone lined up to give him money and ask him to sit in the car.

Sometimes the crowds would line up at night, and the taxi would be able to pick up the money lying around the house, and the income would be much higher than before, and he would raise the price in order to make more money, but even so, there would still be a steady stream of people coming to take the bus.

Until one day.

After the Taxi driver raised the price again, the morning of the second day, when he went downstairs, there were actually only two black clothed men waiting in front of the carriage. Did he come early today? Or did the price increase too much last time?

The driver was puzzled. There was already a large group of people waiting in line this early the day before yesterday, so how could there be only two people left today because of the increase in price?

Just as he was puzzled, the man in black stepped forward to ask, but to his surprise, he did not offer to take the bus. Instead, he asked directly, "Where is Pei Zi Ming's handkerchief?"

The man in black asked straightforwardly, and the driver was a newborn, so he vigilantly refused to answer the question directly, only saying, "I didn't bring my handkerchief with me, I can't show it to you. I can only take the car, if you want to take a seat, I won't leave!"

The reason why the driver didn't show anyone his handkerchief was because he was afraid that someone would take it away from him. It was not as if the theft of the car had never happened before.

The man in black ignored the driver's words. It seemed like he had no interest in the car. The driver thought that they were here to snatch the handkerchief. The reason there was no one this morning was probably because they had driven them away. Thinking about the two of them ruining his business and causing him to lose a day's worth of income, the driver angrily cursed, "You two can leave. If you don't, I'll call the police!"

The two men in black looked at each other and laughed. They covered his mouth and carried him upstairs.

"Speak, which floor?"

The driver trembled in fear as he shouted out the number of his house's door. The man in black used the key on the driver's body to open his house's door.

After entering, they first tied the driver to a stool and searched him. After finding no handkerchief, they began to torture him: "Tell me, where is the handkerchief?"

The driver looked desperate, "I don't know. My wife took it. She's on the night shift and still has two hours off work. Brothers, if you guys want them, can I ask her to give them to you when she comes back?" That's right, do not hurt us! "

The man in black completely ignored him. The two of them shut the driver's mouth, locked the door, and began to rummage through the house.

More than an hour later, they were all over the place. Clothes, pants, towels, sheets were strewn all over the place, but they still couldn't find the handkerchief. Seeing that the sky was about to brighten completely, everyone got up and got ready to go to work. The two men in black quickly gathered together and took the driver downstairs. The unknown driver was thrown into his own taxi with his hands and feet tied up and a towel stuffed in his mouth, unable to move.

The two men in black left the driver in the car and went upstairs. After a while, they came back down and disappeared without a trace.

The despairing driver even thought that the two of them had plundered all of his family's finances. Thinking about the cash that he had just received that he had not been able to save in time, tears of regret flowed down his face.

However, what made him even more sad happened later on.

A moment later, a cloud of smoke rose from the upstairs window of his house. The neighbors were awakened, and soon the sound of a fire engine could be heard in the distance.

The driver was tied to the car and could only see a little black smoke, but he couldn't see the flames coming from the windows. When the firemen arrived, he realized with horror.

The two men in black burned his house to the ground in search of a handkerchief!

… ….

After a long while, the people finally found the crying Taxi driver in the carriage, and brought him to the Police station.

In the Police station, he emotionally pointed out that Lu Yiming had sent people to destroy the evidence, but the interrogating police officer didn't seem to listen to him at all. Only now did he realize that he couldn't beat the Lu family at all.

… ….

This time, it was Lu Zhenhua who intervened. After he intervened, the initially bustling story of the scandal and the arson case ended in a night, and not a single media in Li City dared to report it. Even the Police station and the government did not dare to take responsibility for it, they only gave the driver some money in the name of insurance and closed the case quickly.

Not only the media, even the netizens who had gathered to eat the melon, upon learning of Taxi driver's plight, fearfully kept their distance from this matter. All of a sudden, all the posts on the internet were deleted, and those who dared to mention this incident were no longer in existence. Everything became peaceful as if nothing had happened.

However, this matter had still reached the eyes of Pei Zi Ming, who was not interested in social news. Looking at the vicious methods used in this matter, he instantly understood that this was caused by Lu Zhenhua.

Although he did not think of himself as a righteous man, he absolutely did not think of using such underhanded methods, especially when maliciously and viciously persecuting an ordinary person. Even if the driver was in the wrong, he would never use violence against him.

In the past, Pei had always looked down on his father's methods, always helping him secretly in the background, but this time, he did not want to secretly give the driver a sum of money behind his back.

Thus, Pei Zi Ming went to look for Lu Zhenhua.

… ….

"Father, I can ignore everything you do, but please don't get involved with your son." Pei Ming went straight to the point.

"What did you do? Every day, leave the company and go to some orphanage. Do you want to visit some street? " Lu Zhenhua's words were full of sarcasm.

"You said that as long as I guarantee the growth of the company's revenue, you wouldn't care about me."

"Yes, do you know what the stock has been like recently because of you?"

"Of course I have a way to salvage the situation, not by relying on you."

Lu Zhenhua coldly snorted, and continued, "Do you think that if the matter were to be exposed, it would be beneficial for the company?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"I dare not, but please do not interfere with my affairs."

"Have your wings become hard? I wonder if that Lu family's young miss is as tough as you?"

When he heard Lu Zhenhua using this to threaten him, his amber eyes became as sharp as knives. He replied without a trace of politeness, "Don't forget, the condition for Guan Youyou to become the Lu Family's wife in the shares I gave you."

Lu Zhenhua did not want to argue with Pei Zi Yun anymore. He threw down his words and left, those words were: "To be more precise, after she has given birth to a child, she will pass the shares to the child."

He was saying that as long as the child's surname was Lu, Guan Youyou would have no benefits after giving birth to the child. At that time, he would do anything to her without a care.

After Lu Zhenhua left, Lu Yiming stood where he was for a long time, not moving an inch. His fists were tightly clenched, and his nails were almost digging into the flesh of his palms.
