Upon seeing Liu Mang's injuries, Liu Chen nearly wet himself in fear. He had seen and personally experienced Xia Liu's strength. This was the brute who could kick him ten meters away with a single blow, and casually crush Liu Mang's wrist to dust. It was simply unimaginable. He had thought about running away, but the wealth and foundation of the Liu Family worth several hundred million held him back. So, he went back first thing in the morning and told his father everything. When Liu Yanzhi learned what had happened, he was so scared he fell off his chair. He had also been involved in the drugging of Liu Lanxin. If everything had gone according to plan, and Liu Lanxin had been filmed, if that video had circulated online... She would have definitely been expelled from the Liu Family or at least her status would have vanished without a trace. But now that the plan had been discovered, things had escalated terribly. All their calculations had gone down the drain. He couldn't run away, and he couldn't let his son run away either, with the Liu Family's vast enterprise at stake. This generation's young people were all looking up to Liu Chen and Liu Lanxin, the two main branches. Therefore, this matter had to be addressed, and an apology was inevitable. After all, Liu Chen was the only male of the main branch, and people in the family definitely wouldn't punish him too severely. At that time, all blame could be shifted onto Liu Mang, and the situation would surely be diminished. Thus, Liu Yanzhi gave Liu Chen a beating, and then had him kneel in the conference room with his girlfriend to make a confession. Liu Yanzhi then called over the rest of the Liu Family. At this moment, Liu Buyi, sitting in the chief seat, had a face full of dark lines, unable to believe that his precious granddaughter had been conspired against. And that one of the conspirators was actually his own grandson. From a young age, Liu Buyi had never felt much for Liu Chen, because he knew his eldest son, Liu Yanzhi, was not upright and liked to engage in trickery. But his younger son, Liu Liguo, was different. Not only was he hardworking in his job, but he also earned respect in his social interactions. "Father, Chen was temporarily bewitched and fell victim to Liu Mang's schemes; he surely knows he's made a mistake," Seeing Liu Buyi silent for a long time, Liu Yanzhi couldn't help but explain. "Big brother, this is the good son you've raised, scheming against your own family! All I want is to get justice for Lanxin!" In this matter, Liu Liguo would not back down, even if it was his own elder brother, he still demanded an explanation. Furthermore, now that this had happened, being brothers was out of the question. Liu Liguo was no fool; while managing the company, he had kept an eye on Liu Yanzhi's actions. He had seen everything Liu Yanzhi had done. Liu Chen wasn't the brightest, an incontrovertible fact. Being used by others was expected, but in committing such an act, there had to be a bigger schemer behind it. "Liguo, just trust your big brother once. Chen is naive, all this was plotted by Liu Pharmaceutical's Liu Mang. Both he and Lanxin are the victims. We should shift our focus to Liu Pharmaceutical," "Enough, both of you, keep trying to contact Lanxin. If she doesn't come back, report it to the police!" "Dad, I've been calling all the time, but nobody's answering Lanxin's phone," said Liu Lanxin's mother, her eyes red with tears. She looked much more worn out than usual. "Father, I've had people drive around looking for her in the company, and if anyone sees Lanxin, they'll notify us immediately," Liu Yanzhi said anxiously. But in his heart, he was thinking differently; he hoped Liu Lanxin would never come back. That way, of the young people in the main lineage, only Liu Chen would remain. Even if his son had killed Liu Lanxin, everyone in the family would stand on his side. Just when everyone was anxious, the gatekeeper made a call to Liu Liguang. "Second Young Master, Miss just drove into the garden." "What? Say that again clearly!" Liu Liguang became excited, his daughter was back. He had lost contact with Liu Lanxin since last night, and now she was finally back! Everyone's attention turned to Liu Liguang, each harboring their own thoughts. Those aligned with Liu Yanzhi were exceedingly nervous; if this call was about Liu Lanxin's whereabouts, Liu Chen would be utterly defeated. Liu Buyi's side was similarly anxious, as Lan Xin was the one he cared for the most. If anything had happened to her— He dared not continue the thought. "Dad, Lan Xin is back!" After confirming the news, Liu Liguang shouted excitedly. "It's good she's back, it's good she's back." Liu Buyi took a deep breath of relief, his hanging heart finally settling down. Before anyone could react, the BMW stopped right outside the conference room. "Seems like your family is quite lively," Xia Liu teased, looking through the glass to see Liu Buyi and others sitting around the table while Liu Chen and his girlfriend knelt on the floor. "Only you would think this is lively; it's downright humiliating," Liu Lanxin said irritably. "Alright, I'll keep quiet. This is your family matter, which I shouldn't meddle in. I'll be leaving now." After Liu Lanxin got out of the car, Xia Liu made clear his stance. But how could Liu Lanxin let him leave? She immediately ran over to the car window, reached in, and pulled out the car keys directly. "You don't get a say in this when you've saved me." "Crap! Seems like saving you was a mistake..." Xia Liu couldn't help but express his frustration. Continue reading at empire "Xia Liu, you're here too. Come in and take a seat," Liu Buyi called out as soon as he noticed the two outside, quickly stepping out to invite him in. "Elder, you still have matters to deal with, I won't disturb you." "Grandpa, Xia Liu saved me last night. You must thank him properly." "Xia Liu, no matter what, you have to stay today!" Hearing his granddaughter say this, Liu Buyi became instantly excited. With a bitter smile, Xia Liu knew he couldn't leave and got out of the car to enter the house with Liu Buyi. "Lan Xin!" Liu Lanxin's mother, upon seeing her daughter return, ran over with a grief-stricken face. After the two hugged, they moved aside, and Liu Lanxin took the opportunity to explain the situation to her mother. Liu Chen looked up to see Xia Liu enter the room and began to tremble incessantly. In his mind, Xia Liu had become a ruthless expert, according to Liu Mang. Xia Liu was said to be Lan Xin's boyfriend. Now that Xia Liu was here, he certainly meant to cause trouble for Liu Chen. If he squeezed Liu Chen's wrist just like that, his hand would definitely be ruined. Thinking this, Liu Chen crawled over to Xia Liu, "Xia Liu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let my guard down and let Liu Mang lead me astray." "Huh? What's going on here, Xia Liu?" Looking at Liu Chen in front of him, Liu Buyi asked in confusion. "Last night, I ran into him collaborating with Liu Mang to drug Lan Xin; I ended up rescuing her..." Xia Liu explained briefly. "Xia Liu, you really outdid yourself; I knew you were an outstanding young man!" Liu Liguang stepped forward and patted Xia Liu on the shoulder. The people present also had their realization. It turned out Liu Chen's scheme was exposed, all thanks to Xia Liu's efforts.
