After Lu Chuanbai had the video deleted, he then went on to trace the IP address.
He found that the IP address had been deliberately encrypted. However, in a company full of experts, cracking the encryption password was no big deal, just a bit troublesome.
Finally, the traced IP address showed that it was from the Lu family's old mansion.
Without having to guess, Lu Chuanbai knew who had made the fake video and posted it online.
With a cold face and suppressing his anger, Lu Chuanbai had someone send a lawyer's letter and the IP address to the owner of this IP, demanding that the other party immediately release the complete video.
Otherwise, he would directly make public all the information of the other party on the internet.
After that, Lu Chuanbai also sent a copy to his father.
Meanwhile, Lu's stepmother was happily surfing the internet.
When she saw that the video had been taken down and was about to re - upload it, she received a lawyer's letter and the display of the IP address.
After seeing the address clearly, Lu's stepmother slipped and almost fell off the computer chair.
Damn it!
She had already had someone encrypt the IP address, but unexpectedly, it was still discovered!
She should have logged in from an internet café.
What Lu's stepmother probably didn't expect was that even if she had logged in from an internet café, Lu Chuanbai's hackers could have dug out all her information cleanly, leaving nothing hidden.
In order not to let Lu Chuanbai come after her and to satisfy her own desire, the stepmother directly posted the original video on the internet, instantly slapping the faces of those who said that Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an were heartless.
However, even after the original video came out, there were still many trolls who thought that Xu An'an's frightened look would hurt the feelings of the disabled children.
This also became their reason to attack Xu An'an.
Lu Chuanbai directly asked the public relations department to use the account of the Lu Group to issue a warning.
Anyone who scolded Xu An'an on the internet would receive a lawyer's letter.
No matter how much time and effort it took, the Lu Group would surely sue until they won.
The Lu Group was a large and powerful enterprise. Even if it had to fight lawsuits against the entire internet, it could afford to.
As soon as this warning statement was released, those who were causing trouble on the internet immediately lost their arrogance and didn't dare to speak recklessly anymore.
When Lu's father saw the video and the IP address sent by Lu Chuanbai, he immediately understood that it was his step - wife who had caused the trouble. Angrily, he grabbed his phone and went to find his step - wife.
"You vicious woman! You won't even spare the children!"
Overwhelmed with anger, Lu's father directly grabbed his step - wife from the computer chair and threw her onto the bed.
"You poisonous woman! I can't tolerate you any longer! Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
Lu Fenglin, who had come home to persuade his father not to divorce his mother, saw his father carrying a chair and driving his step - mother out.
When the step - mother saw her son coming, she immediately hid behind Lu Fenglin.
"Fenglin, come and save me quickly! Your father wants to beat me to death for the sake of those two kids!"
"You still have the nerve to complain! You've done such a vicious thing. I'd be justified in beating you to death!"
Still angry, Lu's father wanted to chase after his step - wife and beat her, but was stopped by the impatient Lu Fenglin.
Lu Fenglin's face was gloomy. He tightly grabbed his father's arm.
"Dad, when will you stop?"
Wasn't it just an accident that the kids were taken out? But the kids had been found. Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it!
Moreover, he was even going to resort to domestic violence!
"You... What did you say!"
Hearing that Lu Fenglin was still defending his step - mother, Lu's father thought that he was an accomplice. In an instant, all his previous good feelings for Lu Fenglin vanished.
Lu's father forcefully pulled his arm out and even wanted to beat Lu Fenglin along with his step - mother.
"Like father, like son! A rat's son can only dig holes!"
"For a woman as vicious as you, the child you gave birth to has no compassion. I shouldn't have let you two into the Lu family in the first place!"
Although Lu's father was just speaking out of anger, his words deeply hurt Lu Fenglin.
His mother was right. Everyone in the Lu family was a selfish person. They never really welcomed their mother and son!
Lu Fenglin directly snatched the chair from his father's hand and forcefully threw it into the corner, smashing it to pieces.
"I'm my mother's son, but I also have your genes, right? You've got half the credit for making me what I am today!"
"You!" Lu's father was so angry that he couldn't speak. His outstretched hand trembled with rage.
"You dare to throw the chair at your father! You think you've grown up, don't you? Then get out of my house!"
After saying that, Lu's father pointed to the yard with an ashen face and told the servants to drive them out.
Hearing his father refer to the Lu family as "his house", Lu Fenglin felt a chill in his heart. The flames of hatred burned fiercely within him.
This house belonged to his father now, but he would surely take it back in the future. Just like how his father had humiliated him, he would make his father and Lu Chuanbai get out!
"I don't need you to drive me out. I'll leave on my own." Lu Fenglin protected his step - mother behind him and coldly looked at his father.
"Before you call me your son, take a good look at how much of a failure you've been as a father!"
After saying that, Lu Fenglin led his step - mother out of the Lu family in big strides. After getting in the car, he angrily honked the horn to vent his anger.
"Now you see. If we compromise, there'll be no place for us in the Lu family!"
The step - mother showed Lu Fenglin the red marks on her wrist left by Lu's father's grasp, looking aggrieved.
"If you hadn't come today, your father might have beaten me to death!"
Xu Qingqing had been deeply troubled by the psychological shadow of the two kids going missing. She personally picked up and dropped off the two kids from school every day.
It wasn't until the third day that Lu Chuanbai brought back some news.
"Qingqing, Mrs. Sun Shang'en from the jewelry - making family will hold an antique auction tomorrow evening. All the money from the auction will be donated to disabled children."
"Most people in the circle will attend. Do you want to go with me?"
"No." Xu Qingqing shook her head. She just wanted to stay at home with the two kids now. She had no intention of socializing with those people.
"I don't want to go anywhere."
Lu Chuanbai knew she would react this way. Then he added,
"I heard that it was initiated by my step - mother. She even set up a foundation in her name for this purpose.
"I had an accountant look into it. A large portion of the foundation's money will end up in her bank card.
"I'm sure she's up to no good, so I want you to go with me."
"She wouldn't dare to divert the donated money, would she?" Xu Qingqing asked in surprise.
"It's hard to say. My father is in the middle of a divorce with her. This woman would do anything for money. Maybe that's exactly what she's planning."
"Then I'll go." Xu Qingqing agreed.
Not for anything else.
Just to avenge the two kids for the false rumors and to find an opportunity to expose the step - mother in public.
"Then ask Lu Qi for a leave tomorrow afternoon. I'll pick you up, and we'll change into evening gowns and do your hair and makeup. The dinner will start at around seven."
"No." Xu Qingqing shook her head.
"I'll go there on my own after work tomorrow. They're not worth me dressing up and smiling at them."
"Okay." Lu Chuanbai let Xu Qingqing do as she pleased.
"Since it's a charity dinner for antique auctions, should I prepare an antique?"
Xu Qingqing was thinking about which antique to sell.
If it was to be donated to disabled children, she should prepare a better antique.
