The next day, at dawn, the Wu family people were busy at the food station.
Wu Lingxuan and Wu Hao also came to the station, bringing a large amount of "fresh" food to help the innocent victims of the earthquake.
The Wu family appeared incredibly kind.
But!
Just as Wu Lingxuan was pretending to help, police cars arrived and stopped at the station.
Seeing the bothersome police cars, Wu Lingxuan had a very bad feeling.
As expected, after the police got out, they went straight to her, showed their badges, and then tried to arrest Wu Lingxuan and Wu Hao!
Seeing the police about to take away the Wu siblings, the public became outraged.
"No, officers, you can't just arrest good people! They are kindly helping the people, and you police officers not only don't help but also hinder them?"
"Exactly, people can't be this wicked."
"You can't take them away! We absolutely disagree."
The public was quite agitated, determined to protect the Wu siblings and stood in opposition to the police.
From this, it was evident how highly regarded Wu Lingxuan was in the hearts of the people; due to her series of actions, her reputation as a "living Bodhisattva" had spread far and wide, and she was deeply loved.
The police were also embarrassed.
Finally, the police promised the public that they were not arresting the Wu siblings but rather asking them to come to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
Only when the public confirmed that the police had not handcuffed the Wu siblings did they reluctantly allow the police to take them away.
A farce ended hastily.
At the police station, Wu Lingxuan and Wu Hao were interrogated separately.
Interrogation room.
Wu Lingxuan sat in a chair, with two police officers opposite her, asking about the issues of the processing plant, garbage meat, embezzlement of donations, and falsified accounts.
Since she had done it, she was mentally prepared.
Initially, Wu Lingxuan could answer fluently, but as the police gathered more and more evidence, Wu Lingxuan's brow furrowed.
Something was wrong.
The police knew too much!
Someone must have secretly helped the police, otherwise, they wouldn't have obtained so much information in such a short period.
Wu Lingxuan's answers became increasingly cautious.
The interrogation lasted until evening.
The police repeatedly questioned them for ten hours and finally obtained a result: it was all Wu Hao's doing!
When initially planning the entire scheme, Wu Lingxuan had made thorough preparations.
What if the plan was exposed one day?
Someone had to take the blame.
Wu Lingxuan involved the chef Hu Ziming in the entire plan, not because she trusted Hu Ziming's competence, but because she intended to push all the blame onto Hu Ziming at the appropriate time.
She would claim ignorance, stating that all the garbage meat was procured by Hu Ziming, and the Wu family had nothing to do with it.
But it was embarrassing.
The police had obtained evidence of Wu Hao using falsified accounts!
For a nightclub woman, Wu Hao, under everyone's watchful eyes, had used money from falsified accounts to withdraw ten million! There was no way to wash this clean.
Therefore, it was impossible to shift the blame to Hu Ziming.
In desperation, they had to let Wu Hao bear all the blame alone; thus, Wu Lingxuan claimed ignorance to everything, while Wu Hao voluntarily admitted that he had done everything.
Ultimately, the police concluded that Wu Hao had done all of this and was the mastermind behind the embezzlement of donations!
At 7 PM, the police issued a statement, fully informing the public of the investigation results, and simultaneously took control of all the Wu family's stations, recalling all the garbage meat.
All the Wu family's donation funds were frozen and were to be handled by the authorities.
The Wu family was disgraced!
When the public received this news, they were initially unable to accept it, as no one believed that the respected Wu family would do such a thing.
But on second thought, with Wu Hao's character, it wasn't surprising he would do such a thing.
"Alas, the Wu family is truly pitiful to have such a scoundrel."
"Wu Lingxuan has really been ruined by her brother, and her reputation as a living Bodhisattva might even be tarnished."
"Such a good Wu family, ruined because of this bastard Wu Hao."
"Pitiful."
The world felt sorry for Wu Lingxuan and condemned Wu Hao, unaware that Wu Lingxuan was the true mastermind and Wu Hao was merely taking the blame for his sister.
The truth would never be known to the public.
...
Origin Project Office Building, conference room.
The Su family members were ecstatic upon seeing the police announcement.
"Yes!!" Su Ru was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Finally, the ugly face of the Wu family has been exposed. The public has been so terribly deceived by them. Day after day, they fooled the people with garbage meat, and they almost got away with it."
Su Wanran was also very satisfied.
With the cooperation of Lu Ming and Jiang Mengxin, the Wu family suffered heavy losses.
This time, the Wu family wouldn't gain a single cent, they would have to spit out all they had swallowed, and Wu Hao was imprisoned by the police. It couldn't be more satisfying.
However...
Lu Ming said calmly, "It's not time to celebrate yet."
Everyone looked at Lu Ming at the same time.
They couldn't celebrate now? When would be the time to celebrate?
Lu Ming said, "Although we have exposed the Wu family's ugly side, Wu Hao took all the blame alone, allowing Wu Lingxuan to escape unscathed. Although the Wu family suffered heavy losses, they still have the strength to fight."
"Uh..." Su Wanran said, "What, you think Wu Lingxuan will make a comeback? To avenge her brother?"
"Definitely," Lu Ming said. "From our interactions during this period, Wu Lingxuan appears harmless, gentle, and kind on the surface, but she is ruthless and venomous at heart. Such a person would never willingly suffer humiliation. If we send her brother to jail, she will absolutely not let us off the hook. Therefore, we cannot celebrate yet and must be vigilant against Wu Lingxuan's retaliation."
This statement was agreed upon by everyone.
However, Su Ru spat and said, "Retaliation? What is there to fear! After this battle, the Wu family has suffered heavy losses. Originally, the Wu family was not as strong as our Su family, and now with heavy losses, how can they be our match?"
Su Ru no longer took the Wu family seriously.
She looked down on Wu Lingxuan with utter contempt.
Lu Ming shook his head with a wry smile, "Pride comes before a fall. In the past, the Su family's strength was far inferior to the Fan family, yet we still managed to turn the tide and win against a stronger opponent. With Wu Lingxuan's intelligence, if she goes all out against us, who knows what the outcome will be. Yes, on the surface, the Su family's strength completely overwhelms the Wu family, but Wu Lingxuan will not confront you head-on. You don't know what despicable and vile methods Wu Lingxuan might use in secret!"
That was true.
The Su family members fell silent.
At this moment, Wu Lingxuan was like a sharp sword hanging above everyone's heads, ready to fall and strike them down at any moment.
They must remain vigilant and remove this sword!
