Gu Yansheng was furious: “Nonsense! This is completely absurd!” He had gone to great lengths to organize today’s reception to help Linying gain acceptance in high society, but these police officers burst in with such claims. Regardless of whether they were true or false, how could Linying’s reputation remain intact?
The police paid him no attention and immediately left to search for Yue Linying after finding she wasn’t present. Just as Gu Yansheng was about to chase after them and demand an explanation, Yue Linze’s voice suddenly rang out from the speakers. He whirled around to see Yue Linze already standing on the high platform, his eyes filled with contempt.
Hating the Yue family’s innate arrogance, he was about to stop him when Yue Linze coldly spoke: “Eight months ago, I was in a car accident that left my right leg disabled. The surveillance footage from that road segment went missing, so the hit-and-run driver was never found.”
Gu Yansheng felt an ominous premonition. Seeing the corner of Yue Linze’s mouth curl up, his hands and feet instantly went cold, and he rushed forward without thinking.
But it was too late—
“Today, the footage has been transferred to the police system, showing the entire process of the hit-and-run and the removal of surveillance,” Yue Linze said, looking at Gu Yansheng, who was almost collapsing, with pure mockery. “Now it’s time for the culprit to face justice. This has nothing to do with anyone here. The reception continues.”
He had previously mentioned that the police were coming to arrest Linying, and now he was adding these details, clearly intending to completely destroy her reputation. Gu Yansheng trembled with rage, about to speak when a sharp pain struck his head, and then he knew nothing.
The scene immediately erupted into chaos. Zhou Yanran lowered her head in embarrassment and walked out, with the butler’s gaze following her closely.
News spread that Yue Linying had been arrested, and the entire hall was in an uproar. Yue Linze seemed unaffected, lowering himself from the platform in his remote-controlled wheelchair and attempting to contact Tao Yu.
“Beep… beep…”
Unable to connect, he frowned and switched to the eavesdropping function, but no sound came through. Yue Linze’s face instantly darkened.
