"So why are you still pulling a long face?"
Chen Zhen opened the bag, only to find that what was inside wasn't a bronze ware at all, but a hat and a red vase.
"What's going on?" Chen Zhen was stunned. In disbelief, she took out the vase from the black plastic bag and showed it to Wang Chengxiang.
"There's no bronze ware in it!"
"What?"
Wang Chengxiang quickly snapped out of his daze. Staring blankly at the white vase in Chen Zhen's hand, he didn't believe it and opened the black plastic bag himself to look again.
There was nothing in it except the hat that had wrapped the vase.
Wang Chengxiang finally understood why his stepmother had clung so tightly to the plastic bag when she saw him!
This bitch had never intended to return the bronze ware to him from the very beginning!
"How could she do this!" Chen Zhen angrily placed the white vase on the table and took out her phone, intending to question her stepmother.
Before the call could be dialed, Wang Chengxiang snatched the phone from Chen Zhen's hand. His face was extremely ugly.
"Don't be angry. I'll call right now to find out what's going on!" Chen Zhen explained, trying to get the phone back.
Wang Chengxiang put his hand behind his back and refused to return the phone to Chen Zhen. The expression on his face quickly changed, from initial panic to a sly smile as if his stepmother deserved what she got.
It wasn't his fault!
Who asked his stepmother to deceive him with a fake and refuse to return the bronze ware to him?
Even if his stepmother was hit by a car, it was God who couldn't stand it anymore!
Chen Zhen saw Wang Chengxiang's expression becoming more and more strange. She thought he was going to do something to her younger sister. Trembling with fear, she spoke up for her sister.
"I know you're angry with her, but she's just a bit greedy. Please don't do anything to her..."
"It's too late." Wang Chengxiang sneered. The scar on his face was like a re - animated worm, clinging tightly to his face. His expression was ferocious and crazy.
"Your sister fell onto the road and was hit by a car while struggling with me for the bronze ware."
"What?" Chen Zhen was instantly stunned. For a moment, her emotions were extremely complex. Memories of the warmth with her sister flooded her heart. She nervously looked at Wang Chengxiang.
"Is she okay? How badly was she hit?"
As she spoke, Chen Zhen recalled Wang Chengxiang's stunned and panicked look when he first got home, and her gaze fell on the white vase.
She could almost imagine that her stepmother had gone to meet Wang Chengxiang with the plastic bag containing the fake white vase and must have been too afraid to return the thing to him.
The two had an argument on the road, and her stepmother unfortunately fell onto the road.
Chen Zhen's body trembled slightly. With red - rimmed eyes, she stared fixedly at Wang Chengxiang. Finally, she made a choice and sided with Wang Chengxiang. Her voice was difficult as she asked, "No one saw you arguing with her, right?"
If someone had seen it, Wang Chengxiang would definitely be called to the police station for questioning and held responsible. Then their family would be completely ruined!
Wang Chengxiang shook his head and took off his black coat. A cruel smile hung on his face. "I was wearing a mask and a hat. No one will recognize me. Now call Lu Fenglin."
"What for?" Chen Zhen asked in confusion.
Calling Lu Fenglin now was like walking into a trap, wasn't it?
If Lu Fenglin brought up this matter, how could she answer? How could she face Lu Fenglin?
"Of course, it's to shift all the blame onto Lu Chuanbai. Otherwise, if Lu Fenglin pursues this, we won't be able to handle him!"
Wang Chengxiang said in a sinister tone. On the way back in the car, he had already thought about how to shift the blame.
The only way now was to shift the blame onto Lu Chuanbai to prove his innocence.
Although Chen Zhen thought this trick was really sinister, there was no other way now. Otherwise, they would have to take the responsibility themselves.
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Zhen gritted her teeth and agreed. Trembling, she called Lu Fenglin.
Lu Fenglin, who was on his way to the company to settle the score with Lu Chuanbai, saw that it was Chen Zhen calling. He connected the call to his Bluetooth headset. His tone was very unfriendly.
"Auntie? What do you want?"
Hearing Lu Fenglin's voice, Chen Zhen was a bit nervous and flustered. Turning her head, she met Wang Chengxiang's sinister gaze. She had no choice but to continue, "Lu Fenglin, tell your mom to be careful these days."
"Your uncle heard that Lu Chuanbai is looking for hooligans everywhere and wants them to teach your mom a lesson. I couldn't get through to her on the phone just now. Tell your mom not to go out recently."
Hearing what Chen Zhen said, Lu Fenglin's hand on the steering wheel suddenly tightened. The veins on the back of his hand bulged. His face was filled with deep hatred and anger.
Lu Fenglin instantly imagined a scenario where the hooligans sent by Lu Chuanbai to scare his stepmother accidentally pushed her onto the road.
He knew he hadn't wronged Lu Chuanbai!
It was a pity that his stepmother had suffered Lu Chuanbai's evil deeds before receiving Chen Zhen's advice.
"Auntie, I understand." Lu Fenglin hung up the phone stiffly and stepped hard on the accelerator.
At this time, after Lu Fenglin stormed out of the hospital, Lu's father, who was guarding there, was worried that he would really go to cause trouble for Lu Chuanbai and wrongly accuse him without distinguishing right from wrong.
So Lu's father informed Lu Chuanbai in advance and told him to be prepared.
"Lu Chuanbai, your aunt had a car accident. Tell Dad honestly. Did you do this?"
Hearing the suspicious tone in Lu's father's voice, Lu Chuanbai, who was working, curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
"Do you think I would use such a low - level method, especially in public?"
The police had already come to investigate him. He had never done this. No matter how others tried to pour dirty water on him, they couldn't stain him.
Moreover, if he were to do it, he would do it thoroughly.
He would never leave any evidence in public and give others a chance to suspect him.
Although Lu's father thought Lu Chuanbai's words were a bit harsh, he also thought it made sense.
Lu Chuanbai simply disdained such means. He always took direct action.
"Okay then." Lu's father sighed deeply and reminded him, "Lu Fenglin suspects you did it. He's already on his way to find you. He's in a bad mood. Just let him have it."
"Why should I!" Lu Chuanbai snorted and hung up the phone directly.
He and Lu Fenglin only had a nominal blood - related relationship, but they both wanted to kill each other.
Why should he let Lu Fenglin have it!
Lu's father was about to persuade him a few more words when he found the phone had been hung up. He covered his face with his hand.
He, as a father, was caught in the middle and not liked by either side.
After Lu Chuanbai hung up the phone, he directly asked the personnel department to suspend Lu Fenglin's position for a month and then told the security guards to guard the door.
The furious Lu Fenglin had just parked his car at the company gate and was about to go in to settle the score with Lu Chuanbai when eight security guards downstairs stopped him.
"Manager Lu, the CEO said that since your mother had an accident, he's giving you a one - month leave."
"Come back to work when you're adjusted."
