Chapter 305 - What Should I Do?

"Dad? Dad?.. What happened?.. How did this.. Tell me you were tricked, you fell for their ploy? Right?.."

A frantic Liu Li immediately rushed out to meet Liu Chenmin as soon as he reached Jade Manor. She was hysterical, her eyes teary and face pale, she stuttered while looking like a mentally unstable person. Her behavior greatly irked the man who was suffering from a throbbing headache, his eyes closed, he sat unmoving on the couch as she continued rambling.

"Liu Li.. Calm down! And leave me alone.."

With his patience running out after an obscure but frenzied attack on his dignity, Liu Chenmin glared at his daughter and cut her off, midsentence. His tone was not at all gentle, it was loud and stern.

"But dad.."

Aggrieved, Liu Li bit her lips as she whimpered softly. Her eyes shed large tears and she sobbed silently staring down at her father. His face devoid of any emotion as he bellowed once again.

"I said leave me alone.."

Sniffling, Liu Li sprinted back to her bedroom and loudly slammed the door shut, shocking all the servants who were hiding themselves.

Massaging his throbbing temples with his fat, calloused fingers Liu Chenmin heaved a heavy sigh. He fished out his cellphone and dialed a number, waiting for the call to connect.

"Hello.. Mr Bai"

Once the call was connected, Liu Chenmin's solemn voice broke the silence. The other side spoke in an unhurried manner, giving a full report of the incident as well as the next step to damage control.

"Make it fast.. I don't want any news on me after this thing gets sorted out.."

Scrunching his slightly gray eyebrows, Liu Chenmin harshly rebuked. His tone grating to one's ears.

"Hmm.."

Satisfied, Liu Chenmin only hummed in reply before hanging up. His eyes darkened, a cold, ruthless gleam danced in them making one shiver in fright.

"Little piece of shit! I'll definitely take my revenge on you, Lucifer! You bastard!!"

Raising the tea cup filled with scalding tea, Liu Chenmin smashed it on the ground as he muttered angrily. His eyes glowing with unmasked hatred.

By the end of the day, the PR team of Liu Chenmin on Mr Bai's instructions helped clear his name. Mr Bai, he was really an exceptional and wonderfully efficient man.

No wonder Liu Chenmin trusted Mr Bai so much.

A press conference took place that very evening, and it was reported that Mr Liu owned a charity orphanage that worked for the welfare of young girls. It was a secret organization that he didn't wish to publicize about.

It was also said that the organization was named after Liu Chenmin's daughter, Liu Li.

In addition to all the lies, they also cooked up a story, saying that Liu Chenmin was there for a birthday party of one of the girls from the orphanage. As they drank quite a bit, he couldn't leave them alone. Hence, he helped, tending to them whole night like a real father would.

It was a sham and people knew it. Still they didn't dare question Liu Chenmin's integrity and closed their eyes.

Everything was solved in a matter of few hours. The whole scandal that shook the business world was buried with no traces with money and power.

The oblivious Zhang Lili who was drugged by Liu Li was still unaware of the scandal involving Liu Chenmin. She was lying in her bedroom motionless, her eyes closed and lips parched. She had been sleeping since last night.

The drug administered on Zhang Lili was quite a powerful one, she was in a comatose condition with no awareness of her surroundings. Thanks to this, Liu Chenmin's future plans of using her weren't foiled. He was elated. His eyes had a rare determination to pull Lucifer down and smash his pride into smithereens. Breaking him, crushing him down to his bones, like a stray dog on the streets.

The next day when Zhang Lili woke up, it was a new day, both for her and the scheming Liu's.

After dinner with the Lu's, Sera checked all her belongings once again before stepping out of Lu mansion. Lu Shanshan, Francis Lu, Lu Jinan and Anna Lu, all of them bid her farewell and kissed her goodbye, reminding her to take care, sleep well and eat on time.

Dressed in a pair of denims and a red breathable tshirt along with a tanned leather jacket, Sera looked chic with her hair let down. She had a small backpack filled with her clothes and necessities, a sling bag, her mobile phone and camera on her. With a pair of stylish boots, Sera was all ready to get out and have fun.

"Oh Shitt!"

Standing across the car with a driver waiting inside, Sera cursed out loud with her eyes bulged out. She bit her rosy lips in distress.

"I didn't tell Lucifer about this trip to the neighboring city.. What should I do? Should I.. Should I Iie to him?.."
