Chapter 60 – The Divorced Young Wife’s Revenge (Part 60)

On a sudden whim, Patriarch Lu sent a trusted aide to check the financial status of his eldest grandson’s and eldest daughter-in-law’s companies. The results were much better than he had expected. Had he underestimated them all these years?

That day, Lu Sihong came to the old mansion to see Patriarch Lu.

The old man deliberately brought out some group financial data and a few project reports to test him. This time, Lu Sihong didn’t hold back.

It turned out that Lu Sihong’s understanding of the company’s projects far exceeded the old man’s expectations, and he even had his own insightful perspectives. Patriarch Lu finally admitted he had misjudged him.

Rarely given such an opportunity, Lu Sihong spent a full hour opening up to the old man.

Patriarch Lu was very satisfied.

He handed over a recently halted project to Lu Sihong and also suspended the planned transfer of 2% of shares to his granddaughter as a newlywed gift.

He gave a seemingly legitimate reason, to appease the board and protect the company’s reputation. Given the granddaughter’s current reputation, transferring the shares now would have caused an uproar. Lu Wenxing and the others had no choice but to accept it, no matter how reluctant.

“He feared his fiancée would discover his messy private life and feared he could not become the Lu family’s son-in-law, so he tried to kill me to silence me.” Fang Ming’s motive was now clear.

“I’ve been hiding all this time. My mental state was on the verge of collapse. Only when I saw the surveillance video online showing him attacking his ex-wife did I decide I had to come forward.

He’s not new to trampling over lives. He already tried to kill me once, so he could certainly kill another woman. He’s a social menace. To prevent anyone else from becoming his victim, I must stand up and press charges!”

Now, this case connected with the previous ones.

Two women linked to Fang Ming had come forward to accuse him of attempted murder. The impact was unimaginable.

For the past two months, Xiao Ai had been dreaming of revenge.

She had nearly died.

She never expected that the person she had been protecting would try to kill her twice, once in the alley, shattering her dignity, and once on the mountain, ruthlessly trying to end her life.

Now, as long as she could exact revenge, she was willing to do anything.

She wanted that scumbag to pay. Only then could she start a new life.

The video was extremely detailed, kidnapping, assault, and attempted murder. The severity of the crime left no room for denial.

The Forestry Department quickly confirmed that on X Mountain that day, a suspicious unlicensed van had been present. They even posted a lost-and-found notice online, but nobody claimed it. The vehicle remained in their custody.

Comparison confirmed that it was the same van from the video. Moreover, Xiao Ai’s hair and skin tissue were found inside. All evidence matched perfectly.

This time, Fang Ming couldn’t hope for bail.

Fang Ming’s parents were in a panic.

The grand entrance into the villa was now replaced with utter humiliation.

Recently, they didn’t dare show their faces. The ridicule and cold mockery were unbearable, even the community guards, pets, and neighbors treated them with disdain.

Things worsened over the past few days, dog feces outside their yard every morning, trash thrown into the yard, stones and balls smashing their windows.

They had no energy to investigate or retaliate. They went out early and came home late every day, just trying to beg the Lu family not to abandon them.

But the Lu family, already hating Fang Ming’s family, had had enough after days of harassment. They showed them their capabilities.

That night, Fang Ming’s father ended up hospitalized.

The cowardly couple finally quieted down, for now.

Lu Sitong was truly on the verge of collapse.

The massive disappointment and hopeless future left her mentally dazed. She even started seeing a psychologist.

The Lu family hired lawyers to sue for divorce, demanding a reevaluation of Fang Ming’s assets and that he leave empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Lu Wenxing brought lawyers and his daughter’s psychological evaluation to see Tao Ran. She was his treasure, and he would do everything possible to help her.

For Tao Ran, Lu Sitong had already received her revenge. Her reputation was destroyed, she was depressed, embroiled in lawsuits, and her life, like Tang Ran’s, was practically ruined. With the goal achieved, Tao Ran was willing to give them a chance.

Lu Wenxing came to negotiate. He had already sensed the key issues and hoped to minimize the damage to his daughter.

His request targeted the earliest accusations Tao Ran had made against Lu Sitong and Fang Ming, defamation, slander, reputation damage, forced abortion, and interference in her marriage.

Lu Wenxing humbled himself. Lu Sitong needed treatment, so no mention of “Fang Ming” or “mistress” could be made. Moreover, if the verdict forced Lu Sitong to apologize publicly, Lu Corporation’s stock would fall further.

Already under snowballing pressure, they could not take more.

Lu Wenxing begged and pleaded.

“Three million to withdraw the lawsuit,” the Lu family offered.

Tao Ran stood and walked away.

“Five million.”

“You just take two million more, but I lost a child!”

“Six million.”

“My health has been poor since the surgery, and I may never have children again.”

The price quickly reached eight million.

“Because of you, I became a public figure, filmed every day. I’ve lost all dignity. I don’t even know if I can marry or restart my life.”

The price rose another two million.

Ten million, agreed.

But Tao Ran still didn’t budge.

Even the lawyers were astonished.

“Ms. Tang, you know what ten million means? At 8,000 per square meter in the city, you could buy three villas. In your town, ten villas.”

Tao Ran sneered coldly:

“Do you think I care about money? It’s about one thing, principle. Did I ask you to come? You came offering money yourselves. Or, if Lu Sitong publicly apologizes first, I can reduce two million.”

She lowered her voice. “Everyone knows you don’t want me to fight this case, but many outside are eager to see your downfall. I can reconcile, or I can listen to others and continue.”

Her words weren’t just to provoke, they were to control them, aiming for a higher price.
