Lu Huohua put the chopsticks on the table with a "smack" and said seriously:

"Plead for mercy? It's too late! People with such poor character must not be tolerated!"

"Huo Hua, I agree with your decision. Let her reflect on it."

"From now on, you should have less contact with their family. They are all very scheming and they even want their daughter to marry into our Lu family. It's really a fantasy!"

Mrs. Lu nodded, "I understand."

Lu Huohua made a prompt decision, “I will cancel all cooperation projects with the Zhao family.”

After saying that, he immediately called his subordinates to make arrangements, "From now on, cancel all business cooperation with Zhao Gang!"

Lu Tingfeng, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Madam Lu and complained with a sly smile:

"Mom, you said at that time how outstanding Zhao Wanru was and you insisted on introducing her to me as my girlfriend. Now you've been slapped in the face! I've said long ago that she was very scheming..."

Mrs. Lu was embarrassed and was too ashamed to defend herself, "Mom also makes mistakes sometimes..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, so as not to affect everyone's good mood."

After all, Pei Shaojie was at the dinner table, so Lu Huohua stopped the discussion of this topic in time.

Although Sun Xue didn't understand what happened, she could tell from Lu Huohua's attitude towards Zhao Wanru that Zhao Wanru must have done something excessive, otherwise, Lu Huohua wouldn't be so angry.

She recalled the scene when she met Zhao Wanru in the company corridor during the day.

Zhao Wanru was taken away from the company by the public security personnel. She must have done something illegal.

After dinner, everyone chatted leisurely.

Pei Shaojie sat respectfully opposite Lu Huohua, and the two of them drank tea and chatted.

Pei Shaojie’s eyes were focused, full of admiration and respect for Lu Huohua.

Without Sun Xue's introduction, he would have no chance to have tea and chat with Lu Huohua face to face.

After dinner, Lu Tingfeng went to the study and handled company affairs in front of the computer.

Mrs. Lu took Sun Xue to the second floor to appreciate the flowers. She had set up a large flower room on the second floor of the villa.

The greenhouse is dozens of square meters and has hundreds of pots of flowers. Walking into the greenhouse is like walking into spring, with flowers of various colors competing for beauty.

The two chatted and the topic turned to Zhao Wanru. Sun Xue couldn't help but express her doubts:

"Godmother, what did Zhao Wanru do? I think godfather is very angry."

Mrs. Lu shook her head. "I didn't expect Zhao Wanru to be that kind of person. She was eavesdropping on your conversation outside your godfather's office, and someone discovered it when they checked the surveillance. In order to get revenge on you, she tipped off Wu Zechen and fabricated the facts, causing your godfather to be implicated as well."

Sun Xue cursed angrily, "So that's how it is. She really has a vicious mind."

"Yes, she is very scheming. She took advantage of the relationship between her mother and me to curry favor with me and get a job at your godfather's company. Her purpose was to gain benefits for her father's company and take the opportunity to get close to Lu Tingfeng and marry into our Lu family."

Sun Xue joked, "She really put a lot of effort into it!"

"If someone hadn't found the surveillance video of her eavesdropping on your godfather's conversation, we would still be kept in the dark."

"Your godfather talked to her and wanted to give her a chance to reform, but she refused to repent. Your godfather was so angry that he called the police."

Sun Xue said angrily, "To deal with such people, we should call the police and let her face legal sanctions."

Mrs. Lu shook her head helplessly. "It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Their family disguised themselves too well. I was fooled by them and almost made a big mistake."

Sun Xue suddenly remembered that Zhao Wanru asked her about the necklace in a sarcastic tone in the corridor.

Is it...

"Godmother, I ran into Zhao Wanru at godfather's company today. She was very angry and asked me if the necklace I was wearing was a gift from you."

Mrs. Lu explained what happened. "In order to please me, she asked her father to bring me two pearl necklaces of different styles from abroad. I gave one of them to you."

"No wonder she was so angry when she saw the necklace I was wearing."

Madam Lu said, "We don't want her gift. She is just petty. Xiaosun, please take it off. I will return all the gifts she gave me to her later. It will bring bad luck if she keeps them."

After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Sun Xue really felt unlucky, so she immediately took off the necklace and handed it to Mrs. Lu.

"Xiao Sun, I'll give you a better one later."

Sun Xue was deeply touched and said, "Thank you, godmother."

Mrs. Lu held Sun Xue's hand, just like her own daughter, and said affectionately:

"Xiao Sun, I'm really happy that you and your godfather have become business partners. If there's anything you can't handle, don't hesitate to ask him for advice. He will help you in your business."

Sun Xue nodded vigorously, "I know."

"You are a girl, and you have to handle the company affairs by yourself. I feel sad to see you. Now we are a family. If your godfather helps you, the burden on you will be lighter."

These words moved Sun Xue so much that her eyes became moist.

"Thank you for your concern, godmother."

Mrs. Lu held Sun Xue's hand and looked at her thin face carefully with tenderness in her eyes.

She really likes this positive and optimistic goddaughter.

As she watched, she couldn't help but think of her deceased daughter, and a trace of sadness quietly crept into the corners of her eyes...

"Xiao Sun, when you are not busy with work, you can bring your family to Magic City to play. You don't have to worry about your family's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Godmother will take care of everything."

Sun Xue's eyes were filled with tears. "Okay, godmother."

A small hotel in Quancheng City.

The boss was sitting behind the counter playing with his phone.

Several public security officers appeared at the entrance of the hotel.

Hearing footsteps, the boss looked up suddenly and saw that they were public security officers in uniform.

The boss quickly stood up and greeted us with a smile, "Do you... need accommodation?"

The public security officer showed his ID and asked in a serious tone, "Bring out your accommodation registration form."

The boss looked a little flustered. He took out the accommodation registration form from the drawer and handed it over, adding:

"I have completed the complete registration of all personnel's accommodation information."

The public security personnel looked through it carefully, but unfortunately, they did not find the person they were looking for.

The public security officer showed Chunni and Meng Tao's photos and asked, "Have you met these two people?"

The boss hurriedly shook his head, "I haven't seen it. Have they committed any crime?"

The case officer did not answer the boss's question, but instead gave a serious reminder, "If you see these two people, call the police immediately."

"Okay, okay." The boss answered impatiently.

The investigators did not notice that the boss was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

In a storage room on the first floor of the hotel, Meng Tao was sleeping soundly with Chun Ni in his arms.

The boss was Meng Tao's drinking buddy. In order to cover up his tracks, Meng Tao gave the boss a bribe and asked him to turn a storage room on the first floor into a hidden guest room in order to avoid police investigation.

As soon as the public security personnel left, the boss, still in shock, breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately closed the door, called Meng Tao, and said in a low voice:

"Meng, something happened. The police came to the hotel to check on you. I just sent them away..."

At the same time, Zhu Biao was driving around nearby and passed by this hotel. Suddenly, he felt a little urgent.

He thought about it, parked the car in front of the hotel, pushed the door open and walked in naturally.

The boss, who was on the phone, heard the sound of the door being pushed open and thought it was the police officer who had just arrived. He was so scared that the phone almost fell out of his hand.

"Who are you? You came in without knocking. You scared me to death!"

When the boss saw Zhu Biao coming in, he cursed angrily.
