The next day
They also received the results: Wu You'an was hanging precariously on the rooftop of the Pearl Tower, nearly pushed off. But he was rescued by the police.
Wu You'an is a public figure, so the incident was exposed immediately, and Hu Lian, the culprit, could not escape being doxxed. After the incident was exposed, Hu Lian turned himself in and told the police the whole story of how he planned to murder Huo Qiuya. He had already sneaked into the Lan Family villa many times and knew the layout by heart.
After reading it, Luo Beishi clicked his tongue twice. "I thought Hu Lian was the big boss, but it turns out Wu You'an is. It's impressive that he confronted Hu Lian at this crucial moment, causing Hu Lian to lose control and kidnap him. In the end, he was rescued by the police, successfully making his way out of trouble."
Huo Cixiao: "Among Huo Cheng's sons, is Huo Cifeng the most foolish?"
Luo Beishi sensed his disparagement of the stand-in, so he chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, this stand-in is the dumbest."
In a villa
Huo Cheng learned that his usually obedient son was the murderer who plotted to kill his daughter, and his heart finally gave way, causing him to faint.
Thankfully, I had a family doctor; otherwise, I would be reunited with my daughter in heaven today.
Huo Cheng's face turned ashen upon learning that the medical team had actually been sent by Huo Cixiao.
Hu La Hu Lian got into trouble; she had already figured it out herself.
Anyway, she wouldn't be sentenced to death. Her son is so smart, she believes Hu Lian can do well in prison.
She's a simple person; she just wants to get by.
However, her son seemed to have been completely fooled. It's true what they say, it's scary when highly intelligent people get love-struck.
But she had no desire to help him get revenge; after all, Wu You'an was more cunning than her son, and she couldn't possibly outmaneuver him. So she resumed her life of nightly revelry.
Wu You'an's background and identity were quickly exposed, and his haters posted the paternity test report that he was the illegitimate son of the Huo Family online, bringing Huo Cheng back into the spotlight.
[As expected of a wealthy family, hahaha]
[There's so much drama in wealthy families, it's really real.]
Poor Wu You'an! He had no idea that the childhood friend he had protected for so many years was actually his younger brother!
[How can Huo Cheng have so many illegitimate children! How many are there?!]
[Even through the screen, I can imagine our eldest son and his wife watching the drama unfold from behind the scenes.]
[Haha, I have to say, the Huo Family has provided me with two seasons' worth of gossip.]
Luo Beishi had nothing to do, he gave a thumbs up to the netizen who said he was just watching the drama unfold.
However, after Wu You'an's case came to light, the police took it very seriously and decided to reopen the case of Lu Lu's drowning.
He loved watching the drama unfold, so he sent Wu You'an and Huo Cheng's paternity test results directly to Huo Cheng's phone, and also sent a copy to Huo Cifeng, hoping that their family could feel the new atmosphere and get along harmoniously.
The only truly wise decision Huo Cifeng ever made was tricking Huo Cheng into giving him shares; otherwise, his performance in palace intrigue was mediocre.
Luo Bai felt he was really unlucky. After getting his stitches removed at the hospital, he went to his father's friend's company and was happy for a long time when he passed the interview.
The interviewer was a pretty woman who praised him in every word she said, which pleased him greatly.
The only downside was that the courses at their company weren't free; he had to pay an additional 200,000 yuan for the courses.
After a week of learning, he had mastered quite a few poses for photos.
He planned to ask Wu You'an for help when he had learned enough. He didn't want to just be a print model; he wanted to be on magazine covers first, and then learn how to act. He had a plan for his future.
He thought he was very good-looking, otherwise so many people wouldn't be infatuated with him.
He happily took out his phone, found a number he hadn't contacted in a long time, and called Wu You'an.
The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable... Please try again later.
Luo Bai was surprised. Wu You'an used to always answer his calls. Could it be that Wu You'an had distanced himself from him because of what happened to him?
So he opened Weibo and found a video of Wu You'an hanging from the top of the Pearl Tower. It looked so dangerous; if he hadn't fallen, he would have been smashed to pieces.
I scrolled through the comments below again. Illegitimate child?
This is absolutely incredible! He's actually Huo Cifeng's half-brother...
His mind nearly went blank. He hadn't even asked Wu You'an for help before Wu You'an ran into this mess. If he were close to Wu You'an, Huo Cifeng would definitely not let him off the hook.
The plan to ask Wu You'an for resources fell through before it was even planned.
Luo Bai was a little frustrated, "Father, I'm so unlucky!!"
Xu Qing brought him a bowl of steamed egg custard, saying, "Eat it while it's hot."
Luo Bai sighed, "Thank you, Father."
Luo Beishi: "I didn't know until I saw it, and now I'm shocked. Isn't Luo Bai's company a bit strange?"
System: "Really? No, I don't think so?"
Luo Beishi: "There are countless entertainment companies that specialize in profiting from trainees' breach of contract fees, not to mention these kinds of companies that disguise themselves as training institutions, recruit applicants, brainwash them, make them pay money, and send them to classes. After a while, once the classes are over, the company suddenly announces its bankruptcy and reopens in another location. There are tons of these kinds of situations now."
System: "Host, you seem to know so much about this, have you been scammed before?"
Luo Beishi: "It wasn't that I was scammed... I was scammed because I had no money at all, and I was kicked out. I've worked for these kinds of cultural communication companies before."
I was very nervous during the interview. I thought that this kind of money came quickly, and maybe I could leave the Luo Family sooner. Who knew... I had to pay for the training. They said that I could only get a job after I finished the training. They made it sound so amazing, like it was the best thing in the world, and said that my future was bright.
But when I told them I only had two hundred yuan and could pay them back after I finished my studies and got a job, they kicked me out... haha!
System: "Host, this is a sad story."
Luo Beishi, "I'm fortunate that I had no money and no one was willing to help me, otherwise I would have been scammed."
He paused, then added, "So when you said you were the system, I believed you. After all, I had nothing left but my life, so I had nothing to lie about."
System: "Waaaaah, host, you're so pitiful!!"
Huo Cixiao: "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Beishi turned his head and looked at Huo Cixiao, who was browsing documents and talking to him. "I was thinking, how empty my life would be if I hadn't met you."
Huo Cixiao's lips curled into a smile, "Just like you, without you, my world would have been shrouded in darkness."
"That's right, honey, those sweet words really touched me." Luo Beishi felt his heart pounding, and he clutched his chest. "Should we put our work aside for now?"
Huo Cixiao was very obedient; he placed the notebook on the coffee table.
He turned and gazed into those jewel-like eyes, thinking to himself that he had been telling the truth. Although he didn't know how his wife had managed to pull him out of his vegetative state, he firmly believed that she was his savior.
