Chapter 86
Lu Heng let Li Jie in before saying, “I know. Why did you suddenly come? Where’s Xiao Xiao?”
Li Jie didn’t speak. After entering, he placed his purchases on the table, glanced at An Le who was still in the kitchen, and whispered, “He went back to Gu Qian.”
Mentioning Xiao Xiao made Li Jie feel frustrated. For the first time in his life, he’d spent so much money on someone, and Xiao Xiao had still run away.
Li Jie: “He said he couldn’t tell An Le. Don’t you dare say anything, otherwise, I won’t take the blame.”
Lu Heng didn’t speak, only nodding slightly. He found the charger for the recording pen amidst the snacks and vegetables and began charging it.
At this time, An Le had finished thawing the beef with hot water. Hearing voices outside, he came out to see, and saw Li Jie.
Instantly delighted, he quickly ran out, “Li Jie!”
Li Jie smiled, “Boss lady, I’m back.”
An Le, wearing a small apron, sat opposite Li Jie and nervously asked, “Li Jie, why did you suddenly come back? Where’s Xiao Xiao?”
The smile on Li Jie’s face stiffened for a moment, but he continued, “He’s gone to a very safe place, so he asked me to help you. He told you not to worry and not to call him recently. He might change his number and contact you later.”
“Oh.”
Knowing Xiao Xiao was safe, An Le felt relieved. He smiled and said, “Then, then I’ll wait for him to contact me. I’ll go cook now.”
After speaking, An Le got up again to go to the kitchen, but after getting up, he saw the vegetables and meat on the table, knowing that Li Jie had come to deliver supplies. So, he went to the kitchen to cook.
Looking at An Le’s back, Li Jie couldn’t help but think of Xiao Xiao. He irritably took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.
He had always known this circle was dark, and the things those people did were always shocking.
However, he never imagined that Gu Qian was more depraved than all those people combined.
He had actually developed a drug that could make a Beta cry and beg for a mark—truly impressive.
Li Jie laughed sarcastically, tapping the ash into the ashtray.
Lu Heng came out and saw this scene, softly asking, “You pretended to be Xiao Xiao’s suitor, desperately wanting to take Xiao Xiao away just to distance yourself from suspicion, but this is…”
A fake relationship becoming real?
Li Jie took a deep drag of his cigarette, “I’ve been taking him to hide these days, buying things, buying medicine, spending a total of six million yuan. I’m heartbroken about the money.”
Lu Heng: “Is that so?”
Was it really just about the money?
“If it’s just about the money, I’ll transfer six million to you.”
After speaking, Lu Heng took out his phone and directly transferred six million yuan to Li Jie’s card. But this time, Li Jie no longer had his usual smile after receiving the message.
Lu Heng smiled.
He still understood Li Jie. If he didn’t care about someone, he wouldn’t spend that much money on them.
Xiao Xiao was able to spend six million yuan on Li Jie, clearly indicating that Li Jie harbored other intentions.
“Fine, you should be reimbursed.”
Li Jie put away his phone and helplessly said, “Give me the information, I’ll handle it. You call and prepare the second disclosure plan, I’ll do the first.”
Lu Heng didn’t say anything, directly sharing the information he obtained today, making copies and backups.
Soon, his team received the message.
Li Jie left.
The meal was cooked.
An Le came out intending to have Li Jie join them for a meal, but he was gone.
Lu Heng and An Le ate a few bites before starting the online promotion.
But today they didn’t deal with other officials, focusing on Gu Chen and An Qiang first.
The impact of the released information was enormous, quickly causing a huge storm online.
Many officials came forward to suppress it, trying to arrest those spreading rumors.
But Lu Heng contacted the officials he had information on, telling them about their own vulnerabilities and An Qiang’s intentions, and verifying the information.
Those officials who had been caught by An Qiang all turned against him. Those who had wanted to help An Qiang and Gu Chen before now turned away completely.
Some even secretly fanned the flames, wanting to get rid of An Qiang.
As for Gu Chen, he wasn’t so easy to bring down; people mostly turned a blind eye.
Moreover, after this incident, Gu Chen would immediately distance himself from An Qiang, clearing his name. He would never admit to those things. Whether Gu Chen would be in trouble was uncertain, but An Qiang definitely wouldn’t escape unscathed.
With the help of other officials, Lu Heng’s job was much easier.
Although Gu Chen was angry, he was busy trying to clear his name, while recording who had secretly helped him to retaliate later.
After all, he knew that in his position, even if he hadn’t committed any crimes, he would still be affected if caught in a public scandal.
The incident in the middle of the night had been suppressed, claiming it was an accident, a setup. Now, shortly after, evidence of him harming many Omegas surfaced. This time, he definitely couldn’t escape unscathed.
Gu Chen was planning his escape route.
An Qiang, however, was in a panic. He never expected An Le to actually open the door to his secret room.
So many officials turned against him, now all resentful, trying to make the evidence disappear.
And Gu Chen, knowing An Qiang had secretly kept his secrets, also unhesitatingly declared that this wasn’t over.
In other words, An Qiang had offended almost everyone.
Gu Chen would immediately distance himself from this affair, either denying it entirely or blaming everything on An Qiang.
An Qiang was at a dead end. Furthermore, An Yi, his own son, was also ready to step on him.
An Qiang was facing a situation where everyone was against him; his fate was sealed.
Sure enough, Gu Chen immediately held a press conference to explain the matter to everyone.
All the blame was shifted onto An Qiang, who was even accused of various crimes.
It was said that An Qiang would do anything for fame and fortune, not only offering his wife but also trying to offer his son to Gu Chen.
It was Gu Chen who rejected him; An Qiang was extremely eager, and Gu Chen could only persuade An Qiang to stop while helping him cover things up.
Seeing this press conference, An Qiang’s hands trembled with rage.
Meanwhile, many officials spoke out, saying An Qiang had set them up, but they all rejected his advances, considering An Qiang a terrible person, a great threat to Omegas.
These officials’ statements online drew huge attention; it wasn’t just surfing the internet anymore, it was surfing a tornado.
The matter involved so much that the police quickly intervened in the investigation.
Even An Yi started a livestream, exposing An Qiang’s various disgusting acts.
His livestream was quickly cut into clips and widely circulated, detailing how his father, An Qiang, had committed crimes and tried to sell his Omega son, An Le, to Gu Chen.
He even mentioned how An Le had been confined to the An family since childhood, unable to go out, go to school, and even when he tried to seek help from the Omega Protection Association, he was severely beaten.
“An Le is not my father’s illegitimate son, he is my father’s ex-wife’s son, my brother.”
“What precious daughter? He hasn’t attended school since he was eight years old, he has always been confined to the An family.”
“Yes, he didn’t study abroad, he wasn’t well protected, but was kept at home by An Qiang, raised to be innocent and naive, to be sold to Gu Chen when he grew up.”
“An Le had certainly run away. As mentioned earlier, what could an Omega do? He sought help from the Omega Protection Association and was reported to the house; he was beaten by An Qiang that night.”
“That night, he hit his left eye on the corner of the table and went blind; his ears were also half-deaf.”
“You can check the hospital records if you don’t believe it; An Le had eye surgery a few months ago.”
“Why am I doing this?”
“It’s because An Qiang turned against me because he knew everything I knew. He was afraid I would expose him, so he framed me, and sent me to prison, even saying I had a mental illness and that people shouldn’t believe me. He even ordered people to take ‘care’ of me in prison.”
“I haven’t had a good day in prison.”
“He didn’t cherish me as his son; he even wanted me to die in prison. Why would I consider him my father?”
“He doesn’t deserve to be a father. I will never acknowledge him again.”
An Yi’s livestream content was all instructed by Lu Heng. This livestream caused an even bigger wave.
Seeing this, An Qiang finally understood that he was truly finished; no matter how he struggled, there was no way out.
But he still wasn’t reconciled. He made a few more calls, and learning that his situation was irreversible, he immediately packed his bags and took his money to escape.
“It’s all Zhou Xiao’s fault, giving birth to such a bastard, preventing me from living peacefully!”
An Qiang cursed while packing, “Zhou Xiao is a bitch, all of you are bitches!”
“Wait, I’ll be back.”
When he rises again, all those who had stepped on him would die!
An Qiang packed his things and drove away. Luo Ping hid in a closet, afraid that An Qiang would go crazy and beat her or kill her.
After An Qiang left, she fearfully took out her phone and called the police…
Gu Chen tried to clear his name, An Qiang escaped, chaos reigned outside, only Lu Heng and An Le enjoyed peace at home.
The recording pen was finally fully charged. Lu Heng brought the phone to An Le and whispered, “Le Le, it’s charged.”
An Le was looking at the news online on Lu Heng’s phone; seeing Gu Chen’s attempt to clear his name filled him with resentment and anger.
They had worked so hard, why could Gu Chen easily reverse everything with just a few words?
Seeing the recording pen, An Le’s eyes lit up. If the recording pen worked, the sounds inside could overturn Gu Chen’s claim that he was rejecting An Qiang’s advances!
An Le quickly wiped away his tears and turned on the recording pen…
