"You’re Zhu Xiaoxian," Zhang Lvxiao could no longer hold back and directly confronted Xiao Xian. The old woman was filled with anger, especially when she realized that the one daring to stand directly against the Wang Family was just a teenage girl. Her rage seed about to burst forth, "You can’t afford to ss with the Wang Family."
"And if I did?" Xiao Xian replied calmly. She was now residing in the forr residence of Bai Juyi. Her return was not told to Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing. For that couple, her disappearance might actually allow them to return to a normal life.
"Then your relatives, the few remaining ones, will also be implicated." Zhang Lvxiao’s arrogance elicited a few cold laughs from Xiao Xian.
"Do you think for an orphan who lost her parents young and whose closest grandfather has already passed, the word ’family’ holds any significant aning? Besides, I haven’t really done anything to Wang Peng. I simply handed him over to the Security Bureau, along with evidence of his theft of national herbal research secrets and collusion with foreign companies. I think even the Wang Family can only watch as he spends the rest of his life in prison." Xiao Xian’s words drove Zhang Lvxiao to the peak of her fury.
"Do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?" The air suddenly beca tense, Zhang Lvxiao’s gray-white short hair fluttered like a silver snake.
"Lvxiao," the surroundings suddenly changed, as if forcibly broken through, leaving Zhang Lvxiao frozen in place.
She hadn’t expected there to be another person in the room.
"You... you finally showed up, Wang Fenglei. You’ve been avoiding for decades, and to think today you’d stand before again for a complete stranger," Zhang Lvxiao said, her face a shade of green. "Peng’er is also your child. Are you just going to let these people ruin him like this?"
Treason is a very serious cri. In such a situation, even the Wang Family couldn’t ddle without inviting unnecessary suspicion.
Wang Fenglei had ignored family affairs for years. Zhang Lvxiao managed everything by herself, and she resented him for this irresponsibility, though before outsiders, one issue was separate from another.
"Ruin? Lvxiao, you were always like this. If you weren’t so quarrelso, you and I wouldn’t have ended up as we are now. In your eyes, no one else matters, only the Wang Family. Do you know the impact of that batch of poisoned tobacco on the country and local residents?" Wang Fenglei tossed a stack of photos.
"These are..." It was the first ti Zhang Lvxiao had seen these photos, showing tobacco farrs and the local land.
Zhang Lvxiao only knew that tobacco was grown in Yunnan, and she had never visited the area to check for herself.
The photos showed many tobacco farrs seriously ill, and the local environnt had beco severely degraded.
"This is not the most severe; do you know that Peng’er himself has been smoking this tobacco? He’s even influenced a group of dostic different cultivators, including so Wang Family descendants, to smoke, too," Wang Fenglei sighed. Zhang Lvxiao’s character wasn’t bad; she was just blinded by jealousy.
"What, why didn’t anyone tell about this?" Zhang Lvxiao, learning about Wang Peng’s actions, felt weak, leaned against the wall, her chest tight, murmuring, "Why did it co to this? Peng’er was so sensible and obedient as a child, why would he do such things?"
The family she painstakingly built was being eroded by those she trusted the most.
"I bear responsibility for this as well. If I hadn’t abandoned everything at ho and left back then, those children wouldn’t have been left for you alone to raise. Moreover, the whole situation is a conspiracy, one devised by Rost Serine. She’s a malicious woman, even aiming to wipe out all different cultivators on Earth and turn it into a second Beast Star," after the significant losses at Area 51, Little John hurried back to Europe to report the Mafu Stone incident to Old John.
anwhile, Wang Fenglei received the report on Xiang Guang from Wang Shuai.
By synthesizing intelligence from several countries, they discovered a startling truth: Lady Serlin was orchestrating a revenge to overturn Earth and retaliate against the different cultivators.
The situation with Wang Peng was not isolated; similar events had appeared in many countries.
"What we should do now is thoroughly uncover those significant governnt officials and dostic manufacturers whom Serline has bribed with wealth and beauty, and then re-investigate the case from over ten years ago," Wang Fenglei, for the first ti, spoke to Zhang Lvxiao in such a tone.
