Chapter 321 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Chapter 321: Calling for Justice. The person in charge suppressed his panic. He hadn't expected anyone to cause trouble at today's banquet. If someone hadn't resolved the issue, this wouldn't be a simple accountability. It would be a ban from within the industry! Their team would never again be able to take on a single job in the wealthy world... "Mr. Liang, Mr. Zhu, our team has already rehearsed the process three times. Today's accident was entirely man-made," the person in charge explained quickly, handing over a copy of the documents. The assistant took the documents and inserted them into the computer. As the documents passed through his hands, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, about to lament his escape, but the assistant's brow furrowed. "Boss," the assistant looked at the head of the Zhu family with some embarrassment. "You're out of this." The person in charge retreated nervously. "These photos, Mr. Zhu..." The head of the Liang family looked at his in-laws with some concern. The content in the photos was truly risqué, and the subject was the Zhu family's daughter. It was a good thing they hadn't released them, otherwise their reputations would have been tarnished today. Moreover, the discovery of such things before the wedding indicated that the in-laws' daughter had a questionable character. The assistant of the Zhu family reminded, "Mr. Liang, if you look closely at these photos, you can still see that they were retouched after being synthesized by AI." It was clear that this was deliberately prepared by someone to prevent the marriage between the two families from going ahead. Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the two family heads became more and more interesting. "Investigate." The eyes of the head of the Zhu family were full of coldness. He already had a guess in his mind, but if it was exposed now, he would also lose face. There are some things that he would not ask too much about unless they were exposed in the open, but if it affected the interests of the two families, he would have to take action. At this moment, Zhu Shuangrong had not anticipated what was about to happen. "Miss Zhu." Jiang Fu walked to her side and handed her a drink. Zhu Shuangrong didn't believe that she had good intentions and was unwilling to accept it. "Don't worry, plots like drugging only happen in novels at most. I would not bother to do such a small trick." She drank the drink calmly. Staring at the empty cup, Zhu Shuangrong suddenly had a bad feeling. "What did you mean?" "I think you wanted to remind Miss Zhu not to play tricks. If you cause me trouble, I'll probably resist violently." Jiang Fu gave her a kind smile. She was just threatening. If Zhu Shuangrong didn't stop, she wouldn't mind making the Zhu family suffer a great loss and forcing Zhu Shuangrong to shut down completely. "What can you do?" Zhu Shuangrong knew she was threatening, but she wasn't afraid. The person behind her was Cui Ningyu. With her influence, if Jiang Fu dared to make a move against her, he might be in trouble the next day. "Cui Ningyu can't protect you. You should know she's old." Jiang Fu knew what she was thinking. Old Lady Cui had some influence, but as her days wore on, she would one day leave the center of power. When that happened, Zhu Shuangrong would no longer have the leverage to rely on. "So what? You don't think you can provoke her? Just because you're ordinary, you want to discredit someone else's success?" Zhu Shuangrong sneered. Cui Ningyu was her idol. Her legendary rise from the bottom to the top was enough to inspire every ordinary girl. Even the setting sun shone brightly, refusing to be challenged. "Before you argue for your idol, first clear up her history of rising to power." Jiang Fu found her a bit boring. "A normal girl wouldn't seek to rise to power by becoming a concubine, much less by eating up someone else's family." Cui Ningyu only possessed some of the qualities of a legendary woman. Besides, how many truly independent women would climb the ladder by destroying other people's families? Even when people admire the strong, they still maintain a basic sense of shame. This statement directly touched a sore spot that Zhu Shuangrong couldn't refute, and she couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it for a while. Seeing the person across from him choking on her voice, Jiang Fu continued to stab her in the heart, "And, you don't think she admires you, do you?" Zhu Shuangrong had deliberately staged an accident at her sister's wedding, hoping to embarrass her, completely unaware that the wedding was a marriage alliance. If anything went wrong, the Zhu family would inevitably suffer losses. These losses would only be blamed on her. Zhu Shuangrong didn't have such vision, so it was naturally impossible for Cui Ningyu to admire her. She was just bold and decisive, a good hunting dog. "You—" "Second Miss, the head of the family requests you come over." The assistant appeared at the right time, interrupting the confrontation. "Good luck," Jiang Fu said, smiling, as he saw her off. After all, the subsequent accusation might not be pleasant. Zhu Shuangrong stared at the girl's gloating smile, puzzled, but followed her into the guest room. Pushing the door open, Zhu Shuangrong met her father's stern gaze. "Shuangrong, your sister's getting married today, what's the point of you doing all this?" The Zhu family head's face lost its usual kindness. If Zhu Ruoyu had married an ordinary man, he might have been able to let Zhu Shuangrong's behavior go as a joke, as long as it didn't affect the family's reputation. But today was a marriage alliance, and Zhu Shuangrong's behavior was bound to affect the reputation of both families. "It's just a little prank, it's not that serious, right?" Zhu Shuangrong looked puzzled. After all, she had done similar revenge on Zhu Ruoyu before. "Not that serious? Do you know that today is your sister's wedding? How much money we invested? You can't stand her, so you have to lash out today?" The Zhu family head wanted to break her legs with family rules. At this moment, Zhu Shuangrong finally realized that something was wrong. "Okay, kid, you didn't mean it. Calm down," the Liang family head advised. But the effect of persuasion was only to make the anger in the Zhu family head's eyes burn even more fiercely. "Actually, I can atone for my sins. I have a good relationship with Old Madam Cui, and if I can arrange a marriage with Jing Shenyuan," she expressed her thoughts. Given her friendship with Cui Ningyu, marrying into the Jing family was a possibility. "A marriage with Jing Shenyuan?" Patriarch Liang smiled and said nothing. Putting Jing Shenyuan's intentions aside, Cui Ningyu's plans for his son made it impossible for him to have her. Patriarch Zhu, however, disagreed. "Okay, go ahead and give it a try." If Zhu Shuangrong succeeded, their family would profit by having a son-in-law from a wealthy family as their backer; if not, then Zhu Shuangrong wouldn't have to be his daughter anymore. Zhu Shuangrong breathed a sigh of relief. At least today's matter had been taken up with great difficulty, then put down with ease. Leaving the room, the banquet hall suddenly became chaotic. "What's wrong?" Zhu Shuangrong wondered. She was supposed to be the only one disrupting the wedding today, so why was it even more chaotic now? "We have leads on the culprit of the Luotang Lane fire, and they're looking for him now," a friend kindly suggested. "Has there been murder and arson here?" "I saw online that it was the home of the bridesmaid named Jiang Fu... She also seemed to have been taken in for questioning." Upon hearing this, Zhu Shuangrong suddenly became excited. Hadn't Jiang Fu been so sharp-tongued about her before? Could this be involved in the case?
