Shi Ze could no longer calm down. Since the war had already begun, there was no backing out now—he could only rough it through.
Staring at the soundless video on his tablet, he suddenly broke out into a deranged laughter.
That’s right, he hadn’t lost just yet! He still had chips to turn this around!
Looking at Shi Ze laughing, Yan Zi presumed that he should have probably calmed down. “Even if Wu Xing wasn’t pushed down by Lu Yanchen, so what? For the sake of Shi Guang, he had chased Wu Xing and He Xinnuo out of the club back then. It was because he left Wu Xing with no way out that he chose to mit suicide!”
Shi Ze’s face screwed together as he contained his emotions, feeling enlightened.
That’s right. Even if Lu Yanchen did not kill him, Wu Xing died because of Lu Yanchen.
The masses would still chastise him and the Lu Family would not have it easy either.
Weren’t the netizens questioning about why Wu Xing mitted suicide right now?
He’d give them an answer then.
Wu Xing and Shi Guang had a fling together, and Lu Yanchen was made a cuckold. Hence, he used all sorts of methods to force Wu Xing to a dead end, where he had no other choice but to mit suicide.
Otherwise, why else would Wu Xing choose to die before Lu Yanchen instead of anywhere else—he was doing it as the greatest form of revenge toward Lu Yanchen!
Instantly, Shi Ze took his phone and called his assistant, ordering him to start the tempo and the discussions going.
However, Shi Ze was in no rush either—he’d let Lu Yanchen get his reprieve first. The more people supported him right now, the greater the backlash would be later on. For the underdogs and the privileged, it was always the underdogs that would garner greatest support.
By the time Shi Ze got home that night, it was already rather late. Yet, he caught sight of his mother waiting for him in the living room.
Shi Ze was stunned momentarily before sitting down beside Madam Shi. “Mum, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you asleep?”
Worried about whether his mother had caught wind of the news on the internet, he held her hands. “Don’t worry, the internet is rife with rumors.”
Madam Shi looked at her with an inexplicable expression. “Are they truly rumors? Do you truly have nothing to do with Lu Yanchen being framed for murder?”
“What could that have to do with me? Lu Yanchen was the one who made a mistake and is trying to get a scapegoat right now! It’s because I’ve never gotten along with him to begin with that I’m unfortunate enough to bee the scapegoat!” Shi Ze replied coldly.
“Don’t lie to me. Lu Yanchen’s already got a handle on everything you’re looking for! Earlier on, Lingshuang called and questioned me about what was going on. Son, why must you insist on going against Lu Yanchen?” Madam Shi’s tears were almost weeping out. “Can’t you just let us live our days peacefully? We can’t afford to offend the Lus. Their family has power and status. Back then, you already nearly killed Lu Yanchen by pushing him into the waters!”
“Nearly… but he didn’t die! He’s still well and alive!” Shi Ze grit his teeth in hatred. “Back then, he was my closest buddy and friend! In fact, I could even die for him! But, when I asked for him to save father, which was an extremely small request for the Lus to begin with, he refused claiming justice and whatnot! All of them with power and statuses… If it were their own family, and the evidence were stacked against them, so what? They would still get people to get them off the hook! What does justice even mean to them?”
