Chapter 79: Quick, Call the Police!

The reporters, like flies drawn to meat, swarmed around the Liu family, eager to stir up the public.

“Are you Mr. and Mrs. Liu, the parents of Liu Yaozong who was sued by Lu Corporation? Is there a hidden reason for you to come to the door of Lu Corporation?”

“Is the Liu Yiyi you mentioned having an improper relationship with Mr. Lu? Did Liu Yaozong get his position through Liu Yiyi?”

“You claim Lu Corporation wronged your son. Are you implying that your son is just a scapegoat and the mastermind behind it all is Mr. Lu?”

…

These reporters’ questions were sharper than the last, clearly aimed at Lu Chengze. If he still didn’t realize he was being manipulated, he was too stupid.

The Liu family parents were the kind of people who could shout for hours even without an audience. Now that someone was handing them a ladder, they naturally took the bait.

“Yaozong is my poor son! My daughter was with Mr. Lu during her university years, so we wanted her to get a job for him at the company. Who knew that not only did she not make any money, but she was also put in jail!”

Liu’s mother sat on the ground, clutching Lu Chengze’s arm tightly with one hand and slapping her thigh with the other, wailing. “Mr. Lu! Please, for the sake of our Yiyi, give our Yaozong a chance! I beg you! I’ll kowtow to you!”

She scrambled to her feet, pretending to kowtow.

Although she was a woman, she was large and strong, having done farm work all her life. She had a strong grip, and Lu Chengze, facing so many reporters and cameras, couldn’t do anything for a moment, only able to explain with a dark face.

“Liu Yiyi and I are just normal colleagues. She followed me because she is my secretary. Don’t twist the facts.”

“As for your son, I did let him into Lu Corporation because of Liu Yiyi, but he stole goods from the warehouse. Lu Corporation has sufficient evidence, and all procedures are in accordance with the law. If you have any questions, you can go to the police station for consultation or hire a lawyer. Slandering me and Lu Corporation in front of the media, I can sue you for defamation!”

Lu Chengze gritted his teeth, these words were squeezed out between his teeth.

He thought he had explained everything clearly, but in the ears of Liu’s parents, they only heard that Liu Yiyi had nothing to do with him and he was going to sue them for defamation!

Liu’s mother narrowed her eyes, her voice booming, “Good! You don’t want to admit it!”

She threw herself on the ground, howling, “Everyone, judge for yourselves! My daughter, a young unmarried woman, was with him without a name or status. Now that something has happened, he kicked her out of the company and won’t admit it!”

She pointed at Lu Chengze’s nose, “You say you and my daughter are just ordinary colleagues, then why did you give her a car and a house? Why did you send her bags and jewelry every now and then? Why did you transfer money to her during holidays?”

Fearing that the reporters wouldn’t believe her, she pulled out her phone from her pocket and showed them a bunch of photos.

“Look for yourselves, these are all the photos my daughter sent me before. The clothes, bags, and jewelry were all gifts from Mr. Lu! Even the house and car in the background were provided by Mr. Lu!”

She looked up at the reporters, “Would you send things like this to your ordinary colleagues?”

The reporters almost shook their heads off.

These things, excluding the car and house, would cost millions at least. Who could afford to send such things?

No, the question is, who would be stupid enough to send such things to a colleague?

The reporters clicked away, taking pictures of the photos. One of the live streamers almost poked the selfie stick into Liu’s mother’s phone.

Lu Chengze was speechless.

Actually, the car and house were given to Liu Yiyi when she first arrived at Lu Corporation. She was poor, living in a basement in the suburbs, often late, and sometimes had to work late at night.

He felt sorry for her, thinking it was unsafe for a girl to go home alone at night, so he gave her his spare house. The car was just the least noticeable one in his name.

As for the gifts, most of them were bought for Jian Yao. He just gave them to Liu Yiyi after having a disagreement with Jian Yao.

The money transfer was also because he felt guilty about using her to make Jian Yao jealous, so he gave her compensation.

He was always generous to those around him, and he had no idea that he had given Liu Yiyi so much without realizing it.

When he gave it, he felt no guilt. But now, faced with such a large amount of money, he was speechless.

The amount was there, and no one would believe him no matter what he said.

Seeing that Lu Chengze didn’t speak, Liu’s mother and father exchanged glances, a dark light flashing in their eyes.

Liu’s father, who had been silent, suddenly roared, “You people at Lu Corporation are too much! You ruined our son, and now you want to sue us!”

“Our son is ruined, anyway, we have no way to live anymore. We might as well die in front of your Lu Corporation!”

As he spoke, he charged towards Lu Chengze like a bull.

From the initial reversal of black and white, the slander, to Liu’s father charging over, everything was interconnected.

Lu Chengze usually interacted with people in circles where even if they secretly wanted to stab someone to death, they would still smile in front of them.

He had never seen such a scene. Before he could recover from his shock, he noticed Liu’s father charging towards him like a cannonball. He instinctively raised his hand to block.

However, the next second, Liu’s father, who had been the aggressor, fell backwards like a victim, landing on the ground with a thud.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Then, Liu’s mother let out a mournful scream, “Murder! Murder!”

As she shouted, she went to attack Lu Chengze.

Her custom-made clothes were torn and ripped, her sharp, dirt-filled nails scratched at his handsome face, leaving several white marks.

Lu Chengze was pushed and shoved by the chaotic crowd, his chest filled with anger, his ears buzzing, and he felt like a piece of driftwood in the sea, isolated and helpless.

“Quick, call the police!”

“Call an ambulance!”

Someone shouted, and immediately someone took out their phone and called the police.

…

The commotion at the entrance of Lu Corporation had just subsided, but the speculation and public opinion about the incident online were just beginning.

Several live-streaming reporters were very authoritative accounts, with many fans following their live streams, and many netizens had the habit of recording.

At this moment, the recordings of the commotion at the entrance of Lu Corporation were circulating everywhere, and the reporters’ articles and photos were all over the internet.

Even Liu Yiyi, Liu Yaozong, and the Liu family’s information were dug up.

“Wow, wow, wow, millions of gifts, a new definition of the term “ordinary colleague.”

“Lu Corporation is one of the top 100 companies in China. What about Liu Yaozong’s pitiful education? It’s not even as good as mine. I’m still delivering food. How did he become the warehouse manager at Lu Corporation?”

“Upstairs, you’re only one “sister who knows how to please” away from being the warehouse manager of Lu Corporation. Didn’t you see that his sister was following the CEO when she was in college?”
