2:30 PM.
Wang Family Mansion, eting room.
Inside the eting room, Wong Qifu sat in the main seat with Xu Ke and Wang Wu by her side. Below them sat Wang Tianlu and Wong Gaoyang, along with a group of core mbers. And finally, there was the pale and apprehensive Wang Yu.
The matter was an open-and-shut case, so there was originally no need to summon so many people. However, Wang Tianlu had insisted that Wang Yu, as a core mber, must be dealt with openly and fairly in front of everyone. That was why they were all summoned.
...
Wang Tianlu's expression was grim. He had considered the possibility of Wang Yu failing, but he never expected her to be caught directly by Xu Ke. Fortunately, no matter what, this couldn't be traced back to him!
Wong Qifu watched Wang Yu quietly.
Wang Yu looked at Wong Qifu in despair, wanting to ask for her help.
But Wong Qifu simply closed her eyes slightly. "Alright, everyone is here. Xu Ke, you may begin."
At this sight, Wang Yu fell into complete despair. Wong Qifu was already avoiding her!
Xu Ke stood up, nodded, and summarized the situation succinctly. "The matter is very clear. Ye Chong called last night to ask about a potential collaboration. He offered to provide with intelligence on Qian Jun.
"I knew sothing was amiss, so this morning, I had soone tail him from the Felice Hotel to another hotel.
"I just wanted to see what he was up to. I never expected to find that Wang Yu was colluding with him in an attempt to fra ."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's eyes flew open wide. So it was the exposure of Ye Chong's movents that had dood her!
The surrounding core mbers all looked on with disinterest. News of Wang Yu's arrest had already spread throughout the family. There was almost no room for debate. They were all just here to watch the drama unfold. Of course, they were also considering if they could gain any advantages from the incident.
After Xu Ke finished speaking, Wong Gaoyang said coldly, "Wang Yu, do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"What evidence do you have that I t with Ye Chong?" Wang Yu retorted, gritting her teeth. "You saw in the parking lot because I happened to be at that hotel. That's all."
Wong Gaoyang sneered. "Still denying it? I've already heard the recording. Your conversation with Ye Chong at the scene is crystal clear. Do you think you can escape?"
"You're just echoing Xu Ke's nonsense!" Wang Yu glared at Wong Gaoyang. "Just because I'm powerless now, you think you can push around however you please? Wong Qifu, Wang Tianlu, are you two just going to stand by and watch an outsider take control of the Wang Family and do as he pleases?!
"And you lot, are you all mute? Huh?! Why aren't you speaking up for ?"
She was like a rabid dog, lashing out at everyone. The faces of the core mbers soured. Finally, Wang Yu's glare settled on Xu Ke, her eyes seething with venomous resentnt.
Wang Tianlu, who had been glowering the whole ti, finally spoke, his tone casual. "Gaoyang, just because Qi Fu gave you authority doesn't an you can misuse it. Everything requires evidence. You need to present it. Otherwise, won't we beco a joke to outsiders?"
After speaking, Wang Tianlu shot Xu Ke a cold glance. Deal with Wang Yu right in front of ? Not a chance! So what if Wang Yu was caught in the hotel parking lot? Do you have any evidence?
While so of the spectating core mbers didn't care about Wang Yu, they felt obligated to back Wang Tianlu.
"That's right, Gaoyang. You have to speak with solid proof."
"You can't make groundless accusations."
Another person comnted sarcastically, gesturing toward Xu Ke, "We can't just take so outsider's word as truth..."
Xu Ke acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Wong Gaoyang looked at Wang Tianlu and sneered. "Fine. You want evidence, is that it? Secretary Zhan, if you would."
Zhan Yunning, standing at the back, nodded and played the recording provided by Feng Wei.
...
*"...discussing with how to cooperate in framing Xu Ke..."*
*"..."*
...
After the recording finished, Wang Yu, who had been preparing to argue to her last breath, turned deathly pale. She had expected Xu Ke to be prepared before making a move, but she had never anticipated a recording that left her with absolutely no way to turn things around!
She was done for!
Wang Tianlu's expression was just as dark. They truly hadn't expected there to be a recording.
Wang Yu racked her brain but couldn't understand how Xu Ke had managed to get such a clear recording. Didn't she and Ye Chong check the room for bugs before they entered? Little did she know, with Feng Wei shadowing him, Ye Chong had essentially beco a walking bug.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Wong Gaoyang demanded coldly.
But Wang Yu, as if suffering a great shock, shrieked, "Impossible! How could you have such a clear recording? This must be fake! You forged it, didn't you?!"
Hearing Wang Yu's frantic, baseless accusations, the mbers who had planned to support Wang Tianlu fell silent. How could it possibly be fake?
"Wang Yu," Wong Gaoyang said coolly, "if you continue to argue so unreasonably, your punishnt will be even more severe, according to the family rules."
Wong Gaoyang had no desire to hear any more of her ravings. The evidence was irrefutable. What more could be said?
Seeing Wong Gaoyang's dismissive tone, however, only enraged Wang Yu further. "You're just a dog borrowing your master's power!" she snarled, teeth clenched. "When Li Qing was here, would you have dared to speak to like this?!"
Wong Gaoyang's expression darkened. "I would speak this way even if Wong Liqing himself were standing here!"
Wang Yu sneered at him. "Speak the sa way? You used to call him Brother Qing and Sister Yu so respectfully. Now that Xu Ke has gotten rid of Li Qing with his dirty tricks, you've taken his place, and you're a completely different person! Hah! How does it feel to be a gigolo's dog?"
She had completely lost it.
Wong Gaoyang was livid. "What did you say?!"
He barely had any dealings with Xu Ke. How could he stand being slandered like this?
Just then, Xu Ke spoke up. "Wang Yu, according to the Wang Family's regulations..."
"Shut up! You worthless gigolo!" Wang Yu shrieked, cutting him off with a vicious tone. "You have no right to talk about the Wang Family's rules! These are rules set by the Wangs, not for soone with the surna Xu to point fingers at!"
Xu Ke's face instantly darkened.
Seeing this, Wang Tianlu and his supporters shared a smug smile. How amusing to see Xu Ke finally put in his place!
At that mont, Wong Qifu finally spoke, her voice cold. "Wang Yu, we called you here to give you a chance to defend yourself and confess. But you remain stubborn. It seems that if I don't punish you severely, I will lose the respect of our people."
The words had barely left her lips when Wang Yu burst into wild, desperate laughter. "Hahaha... Wong Qifu, what makes you think you're fit to be the Helmsman of the Wang Family? Do you really think they submit to you? They all have their own selfish plans! Why would they need you to command their respect?!"
At that, a core mber loyal to Wong Qifu scoffed, "Wang Yu, you dare to defy the Family Head? What are you trying to do? Or have you taken the surna Ye now?"
"Is this your place to speak?" Wang Yu shot back with a hateful glare.
The man's expression changed.
