Chapter 395: Surveillance Footage From 20 Years Ago
“I want to protect Gu Zheng.” Qiao Xi was frank.
Huang Lilan gritted her teeth. “You don’t have evidence, so what you say doesn’t count!”
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “Madam Gu, there’s indeed no audio recording in our hands, but we have the surveillance footage. I think you would recall something at the mention of this!”
Huang Lilan’s heart skipped a beat as she subconsciously looked at Old Master Lu.
Impossible!
How could Gu Zheng have the surveillance footage? At that time, the Lu family had already sent someone to delete it. They even found a top hacker to delete
It was guaranteed that it could never be restored.
That person was a top figure in the Dark Net Organization. At that time, he promised that only the hacker Mo Yuan had the ability to recover the footage.
No one else but him had the ability to do so.
However, Mo Yuan was a mysterious figure who was hard to reach out to. Even if one had money, they would not be able to hire him.
Moreover, she heard that Mo Yuan and Gu Zheng had a grudge against each other and they lost contact. It was impossible for Mo Yuan to help Gu Zheng recover the surveillance footage.
This was impossible! Everything was fake!
Qiao Xi was definitely scaring her. How could the surveillance footage be restored? This was Gu Zheng’s usual method of destroying his opponents psychological defenses so that they would expose themselves.
Huang Lilan heaved a sigh of relief.
What was there to be afraid of? It was all a cover! If Gu Zheng really had evidence, he would have taken it out a long time ago. Why did he have to wait until now? He was clearly bluffing so that everyone would believe that he was wronged.
On the other side, Song Shijing had arrived backstage.
Huang Lilan was sure that Gu Zheng did not have any evidence, so she pretended to be sad and continued acting. “Ah Zheng, how did you become like this? It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have taken the blame for you, causing you to be so irresponsible!”
Everyone whispered, “I heard that Madam Gu doesn’t like her son very much and has always scolded President Gu. A mistress is indeed vicious. Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs, but she treats her son so cruelly.”
“But is there a possibility that President Gu was too naughty and mischievous when he was young, so that’s why Huang Lilan treated him that way? She didn’t want him to go astray, so she beat and scolded him to warn him?
President Gu made use of reporters to provoke Eldest Miss Lu when he was just six years old. He even forced Chairman Gu to admit his identity. Such a child was too scary.
Song Shijing had already inserted the USB drive, and the big screen suddenly lit up.
Huang Lilan and the Lu family were standing on stage with their backs facing the big screen, so they did not see the contents of the video.
Huang Lilan’s eyes were filled with tears. “Ah Zheng, everyone already knows about what happened in the past. Don’t keep putting up a fight. It’s useless.
Apologize and admit your mistake at once. It’s a good thing for you too.”
“Look!” A surprised shout from below the stage interrupted Huang Lilan’s words.
The entire banquet hall erupted.
“This must be the surveillance footage!”
“Look, there’s the time stamp up there! Is this.. the surveillance footage from 20 years ago? Is this the hospital?”
A ward was indeed shown on the video. Although the image was a little blurry, one could still clearly see human faces and hear voices.
Lu Qingyun was the eldest daughter of the Lu family and the first wife in the Gu family. Hence, when she was hospitalized, the Lu family had arranged the most luxurious ward for her. It had a full set of facilities, and the surveillance cameras were also of the latest model of that time.
However, why were there surveillance cameras in the ward? The hospital did not have the right to install surveillance cameras in the ward to monitor patients. This did not make sense.
However, everyone did not care about this because someone appeared on the screen right at that moment.
Huang Lilan!
At this moment, Huang Lilan, who was on the stage, did not understand what was going on. She was still crying aggrievedly and leaning against Gu Weiming weakly, complaining about how unfilial and selfish Gu Zheng was.
However, the Huang Lilan in the surveillance footage appeared arrogant. She walked straight to Eldest Miss Lu’s bed and slammed a few sheets of paper on her face
On the stage, Huang Lilan was still looking at Gu Zheng and begging, “Ah Zheng, admit your mistake! I know you hate me and blame me for always hitting and scolding you when you were young. However, I only hit and scolded you when you did something wrong. You killed Eldest Miss Lu but you never regretted it. That’s why I’m punishing you!
“I'm a woman too. When I think of Eldest Miss Lu’s death, I feel heartbroken. ”
“Lu Qingyun! You b*tch! You’re about to die, so why don’t you just divorce Weiming?! If you can’t have children, what’s the point of occupying the position as Madam Gu?”
Chapter 396: Are You Worthy Of Gu Zheng’s Filial Piety?
The woman’s roar sounded from the surveillance cameras and interrupted
Huang Lilan’s hypocritical performance.
Why did this voice sound so familiar
Huang Lilan immediately swallowed the words in her throat and suddenly turned around. When she saw the scene in the video, her face turned pale.
Everyone looked up and was equally dumbfounded.
“Lu Qingyun, you’re about to die. You won’t have the chance to have children anymore. If the Gu family doesn’t have an heir in the future, you’ll become the greatest sinner!
“You useless woman! You can’t help the Gu family, but I’m better than you. I have an outstanding son. It’s because of you that he can’t acknowledge his ancestors. I advise you to be sensible. I'm the one Weiming likes. Hurry up and die. Give me the position of Madam Gu!
These words were like knives stabbed deeply into Lu Qingyun’s heart.
Everyone stared at the surveillance footage. The woman’s face was pale, and her beautiful face was filled with sorrow. Everyone’s hearts ached when they saw this.
In the surveillance footage, a group of reporters suddenly rushed in with microphones and cameras aimed at the seriously ill woman.
Eldest Miss Lu, will you give up your position to Madam Huang?
I heard that you and Mr. Gu are in a business marriage and your relationship isn’t genuine. Now that Mr. Gu has found his true love, can you fulfill their wish to be together?
“Madam Huang has already given birth to Mr. Gu’s child. The child is innocent
If the child can’t acknowledge his ancestors, he’ll have to wander outside for the rest of his life. Eldest Miss Lu, you should at least think about the child, right?
At first, everyone was still worried about Lu Qingyun’s serious illness.
However, later on, they increasingly went overboard as they continued to accuse Lu Qingyun of breaking up the unlucky couple. She could not even give birth to a child herself yet wanted to occupy the position of Madam Gu.
After the reporters left, Huang Lilan crossed her arms and said arrogantly, “Lu Qingyun, whether you give way or not, the position of Madam Gu is mine! I even want to snatch your son away and make him suffer in my hands. You b*tch! Hurry up and die
The last sentence caused the sick Lu Qingyun to break down completely!
At this moment, Huang Lilan’s face was pale and her body was trembling.
How could Gu Zheng have the surveillance footage? The hacker the Lu family
found back then said that only Mo Yuan could recover it. It was impossible for others to do it. Wait..
Now was not the time to think about this. It was time to explain herself.
Huang Lilan’s psychological defense completely collapsed. She screamed crazily, “No! It’s not true! I didn’t do it!
She glared fiercely at Gu Zheng and shouted, “Gu Zheng! To protect yourself, you actually fabricated a video to frame your biological mother! You unfilial son!”
“Unfilial? Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Madam Gu, do you think you’re worthy of Gu Zheng’s filial piety?
Everyone gasped.
Qiao Xi sneered. “Madam Gu has been hitting and scolding Ah Zheng since he was young. She even often locked him in a small dark room and refused to give him food or water. Are you worthy of Gu Zheng’s piety, Madam Gu? Which biological mother would abuse her biological son like this?
“Madam Gu, when it comes to forgery, I have some opinions on that.”
Qiao Xi’s expression was calm. “Eldest Miss Lu has been dead for 20 years.
There’s even a time stamp on the surveillance footage. These reporters can also look into it. Even high-end technology won’t be able to produce such realistic surveillance footage.
“You’ll probably say that it’s all edited. That’s possible, but the words said match your mouth movements in the footage exactly. Moreover, your actions at that time were clearly a provocation.”
Qiao Xi’s words directly destroyed all of Madam Gu’s excuses.
Huang Lilan was stunned on the spot and felt weak all over
No! There must be another excuse!
“You’ve misunderstood. That’s not what I meant.”
Huang Lilan thought for a long time and gritted her teeth. She braced herself and said, “I did it all for Ah Zheng. It was Ah Zheng who asked me to do that.
He used his life to threaten me and said that if I didn’t do that, he didn’t want to live anymore. I was put in a very difficult position back then. I couldn’t bear to hurt Eldest Miss Lu, but I also couldn’t watch my son die. That’s why I rushed to the ward and said those words to Eldest Miss Lu!
Huang Lilan cried aggrievedly. I was forced to do it! Ah Zheng, you were the one who said that Eldest Miss Lu sent someone to hurt you. I couldn’t take it lying down either, so I said those words. Why is everyone blaming me now?
