So this person actually had the support of the country behind him?! Or rather, the two sides had started working together at some point! To think that they even thought that Lu Ming’s brain had been damaged. From the looks of it, they were the ones who were stupid! How could he be an ordinary person to have taken Lu Ming Corporation to such heights? They had underestimated him!

Based on the current situation, their chances of winning were not very high if they were up against Lu Ming Corporation, let alone against a behemoth like a country. They could not do it at all! Lei Jiacheng sat on the ground with a defeated expression, his face as pale as wallpaper!

Xu Xiaojing seemed to have thought of something. Then she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. She said, “I know I was wrong! I shouldn’t have evaded punishment! But I just wanted to live too much. What’s wrong with me wanting to live? Please, let me go! I’m willing to cooperate with your investigation!”

She sobbed and continued, “I-I’m still so young! I haven’t had time to do many things. I don’t want to spend my life in prison! Please! Please! Be magnanimous and let me go!”

“Let you go? Will those who died because of you come back to life?”

Lu Ming said coldly, “You want to earn fast money at all costs, but you don’t want to take responsibility. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Besides, we’ve already caught you, and it’s under the circumstances where the evidence is conclusive. We don’t need your cooperation. No matter how stubborn you can be, you’re destined to spend the rest of your life in prison!”

Xu Xiaojing seemed to have thought of something. She quickly stood up and said, “T-This is all because Lei Jiacheng forced me! The money I earned previously is now in his overseas account. It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t know that he was making fake medicine! He told me that there was a way to earn big money. If I didn’t agree, he would join forces with the higher-ups of the company to force me out!”

These words pulled the dazed Lei Jiacheng back to reality. He looked at his wife in shock as she pushed all the blame onto him! They had been living together for decades. He didn’t expect that their relationship all these years couldn’t compare to the calamity of prison!

In that case, don’t blame me for being heartless! he thought.

Hence, he quickly knelt in front of Lu Ming and said, “Mr. Lu! You must not believe what this crazy woman said! Although the money is indeed in my hands, she was the one who helped me cover up and hide it from the higher-ups! Moreover, she was the first to suggest making fake medicine! If not for her, how could I have taken the path of making fake medicine!”

Xu Xiaojing immediately said in a panic, “Bullsh*t! You were the one who kept hinting at me, so I went along with your thoughts, okay?! Why are you pretending to be an innocent little white flower now?! How can I compare to you?! If I had known that this day would come, I wouldn’t have married you back then!”

“Why didn’t you say you regretted it when you were enjoying yourself?” he asked angrily.

As they spoke, the couple started scolding and fighting at the same time. They did not care about their image at all and were in a sorry state! As Lu Ming looked at this show with his usual smile, he heard a cold electronic voice once again.

[In the face of Xu Xiaojing and Lei Jiacheng’s pleading, please make the following choices:

Option 1: Ignore their actions and never forgive them! Reward: Ancient Martial Eight Extremities Fist (In literature, there is Taiji to calm the world. In martial arts, there is the eighth level of Heaven and Earth! After mastering it, the force can reach an extremely far place. It is the best life-saving skill at critical moments!)

Option 2: Be indecisive. Reward: 300 million yuan.

Option 3: Be soft-hearted and merciful. Reward: Beginner hacker skills.]

After killing so many people, they still wanted to escape unscathed. He was not the Holy Father. He chose one without thinking. Then he said to the middle-aged man beside him, “Mr. Ouyang, please take them away. After all, their hands are stained with blood. You must punish them severely as a warning to others!”

“No problem, Mr. Lu.”

The middle-aged man gave his subordinates a look, and they quickly dragged the couple away like dead dogs! Seeing that her words were useless, Xu Xiaojing immediately cursed, “Lu Ming! You heartless fellow! When I come out, I will definitely not let you off! I will drag you to hell even if I become a ghost!”

Lu Ming replied with a smile, “Just enjoy your prison life for the next few decades. As for other things, I believe you won’t have any dreams in the future. This is because even inmates’ friends and relatives in prison had died after taking your medicine. Do you think they will let you off?”

Apparently not.

…

Meanwhile, in a lively underground casino.

A down-and-out man with red eyes was shouting in his blue factory uniform, “Big, big, big! It must be big this time! Otherwise, I’ll lose everything today!”

After a round of shaking from the dealer, the final number was small. The down-and-out man widened his eyes and said unhappily, “Cheating! You guys must have cheated! The previous few times, it was clearly small, but this time, it’s still small!? Do you casino people treat customers as fools?!”

The dealer maintained his poker face and said, “The casino depends on luck. If you’re unlucky, I can’t do anything about it, right? Now, you need to consider another problem. You’ve already gambled all your chips. Coupled with your previous debt, can you pay it all today? Mr. Lu.”

These words hit Lu Yaohua’s soft spot, and the madness in his eyes receded a little. He smiled awkwardly and said, “There’s no hurry. Believe me, I’ll be able to get the money to pay you back soon. It’s a mere 30 million. I think you should know that I made a huge sum of money a while ago, right? If not, I’ll borrow it from my friends, right?”

“Mr. Lu, do you think you’re still the former boss of the Lu Corporation? If it were you at that time, it wouldn’t matter if you owed such a small amount of money. But I heard that your relationship with the Tang family in Beijing is very bad, right? It’s even to the point of being irreconcilable. To be honest, I don’t think Miss Tang will lend you money.”

A steady voice came from behind. The big-bellied man walked over with a few fierce-looking lackeys.

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Yaohua’s forehead. He said obsequiously, “No, no, Boss Zhang. I have other friends, Xu Xiaojing and Lei Jiacheng from Xingwei Group. They’re very rich! I’ve always had a good relationship with them, so you can rest assured.”

Boss Zhang said with a faint smile, “Your news is outdated! I knew you didn’t watch television. Your two good friends have been caught by the officials and are sentenced to life imprisonment.”
