Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 815: Your Wish Will Come True
Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Your Wish Will Come True
Lu Family.
Lu Bannong was so shocked he dropped the teacup in his hand: "What did you say?"
The servant said, "The Traditional Chinese Medicine Association called, saying the eldest miss is involved in cheating at the Golden Needle Conference. They want to hold an emergency meeting and ask all members to attend. The Inspection Team has sent two senior figures over. One is Old Sir Xiao, the other is Old Sir Shen."
Xiao Zuan and Shen Ming?
Both of them are known for being straightforward, with tempers as hard as a stone in a latrine.
There’ll be no chance for any compromise.
What’s more, he’s afraid of the Xiao Family...
Lu Bannong’s face turned ashen, his eyes wide with anger.
"What on earth is Lu Yingxue up to!" He thought the online scandal would cool down over time, and even if Lu Yingxue steps down, he could still rise up. Hold on for another decade, then plan to seize power again.
Sitting at home sipping tea, yet hearing such news.
The servant said fearfully, "It’s the eldest miss who got cornered by the media at the hospital entrance. Initially, there was no issue. But suddenly Miss Xi appeared and told the media that ten years ago, there was a leak at the Golden Needle Conference, which is how the eldest miss won the title. She even said when compared to Qiao Xi, the eldest miss relied entirely on boasting and marketing, actually having contributed nothing to the Chinese Medicine Community."
How could the media let such big news slip away?
"Sir, there are also contestants from back then coming forward online to spill the beans. They say participants suddenly suffered relentless diarrhea, forcing them to withdraw, and some were hit by cars when stepping out. Others said they had to pull out due to emergencies."
The public opinion is very unfavorable.
Lu Bannong was enraged, "How could there be so many people!"
He did indeed pay those who withdrew temporarily, believing they wouldn’t testify against him to preserve their reputations.
Besides that, there’s only one thing left.
Ten years ago at the Golden Needle Conference, during the finals, he noticed Lu Yingxue’s strongest competitor was Xiao Rang. So he arranged for an accidental car crash, leaving the opponent with fractured limbs, unable to compete.
That was Old Sir Xiao’s grandson, who remains a nobody to this day.
As if he was shattered by that incident, never wielding the Golden Needle again.
Just wandering around, gathering scattered ancient remedies.
If Xiao Zuan truly believes the cheating rumors, will he suspect his grandson’s accident was orchestrated? If he delves deep into the investigation, it’d be a disaster.
The Lu Family has never withstood a deep probe.
Once investigated, many issues would surface, leaving Lu Bannong worried and much more angry.
He should have choked her the moment Lu Yingxue was born, Cheng Qingnian’s daughter is indeed a debt collector! He wasted all these years harboring a shred of guilt for that woman.
The servant stood aside and carefully asked, "The association is urging, will you go now?"
"Prepare the car."
Lu Bannong must go, regardless of the development. To avoid meeting now would imply a guilty conscience, wouldn’t it?
...
On the other side.
Qiao Xi had just left Imperial Capital Hospital when she received an urgent notice to head to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
Huo Xingzhou went with her.
Lu Yingxue’s matter finally pulled in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. Those rotting, outdated rules need a thorough cleansing, and Lu Bannong’s grip has begun to crack.
Qiao Xi’s heart stirred slightly, unsure whether she felt joy or nervousness.
When the car reached the association’s entrance, she reached out and held Huo Xingzhou’s hand, asking, "Do you think this is the beginning? Will they still go easy this time?"
The Lu Family has been arrogant for years, with deep roots.
Huo Xingzhou squeezed her finger back, "Your wish will come true."
Qiao Xi nodded heavily, "Wait for me in the car, I’ll go see what the agenda is first."
She turned and walked away, Huo Xingzhou called out: "Qiao Xi."
"What else?"
"Come over." His hand was casually resting by the car window.
Qiao Xi hesitated but went over, Huo Xingzhou made another gesture, signaling her to come closer.
Qiao Xi bent down, leaning towards him.
She only heard him say one sentence, and she paused for quite a while.
"Really?"
"Mm."
"Then... the matter of Lu Yingxue cheating back then isn’t..."
Huo Xingzhou’s thin lips brushed her cheek, carrying a hint of warmth, "Go ahead, don’t be late."
"Alright."
Qiao Xi responded earnestly and left, her determined silhouette resembling a warrior.
She’s going for justice.
Also for private vendetta.
Huo Xingzhou slowly withdrew his gaze, looking down at the increasingly brutal comments on his phone screen, a slight smile on his lips.
Lu Yingxue is fundamentally wounded.
Her reputation is ruined, and now even her competence is questioned.
All her paths are broken.
If Lu Bannong had been rational and calm enough, he should have severed ties with her when her affair with Zhong Lingxiao was exposed, clearly separated.
Now it’s too late to do anything.
The cheating scandal is bound to drag Lu Bannong down.
Additionally, he unexpectedly got hold of a key witness, who would be a trump card at a critical moment.
He’s already handed Qiao Xi a knife, empowering her to personally sever the Lu Family’s throat.
The Lu Family, the defeat is certain!
Inside the Bell Tower of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, many people have gathered. This time, not only the directors, but ordinary members from the Imperial Capital were all summoned.
The meeting room couldn’t accommodate so many people, so they opened the doors to the Hall of Justice in the Bell Tower.
That door hadn’t been opened for many years.
Once opened, the long-sealed air burst out, but it was still fairly clean.
Qiao Xi and Old Chen arrived at the Hall of Justice, which was already crowded. Shen Xuanzhi was there too, looking gloomier than before. His brows and eyes had no hint of a smile, with a touch of hidden despondency.
Upon seeing Qiao Xi, he stepped forward and said, "Old Sir Xiao and Old Sir Shen have arrived, just missing Lu Bannong and Lu Yingxue. What do I need to do today?"
"Do nothing, just believe there is justice in this world."
"Will there really be?" Shen Xuanzhi had waited for this justice for over twenty years, sacrificing his marriage for it.
He’d never be able to touch that bright, fiery girl again in this lifetime.
Shen Xuanzhi wished the Lu father and daughter were dead!
Qiao Xi’s voice was clear, "Shen Xuanzhi, we will wait for it."
"Here they come!"
"President Lu... no, Mr. Lu is here."
Upon hearing the discussions, Qiao Xi turned her head and saw Lu Bannong appearing at the entrance of the Hall of Justice. He hurriedly approached the two seniors, speaking in a humble and friendly tone.
"Old Xiao, Old Shen, what’s online is nothing but nonsense. In the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association..."
Xiao Zuan, with gray hair and a square-shaped face, raised his hand to stop his explanation, "Wait until everyone is present, then you can speak."
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Association seems to be president-led, but there is also an overseeing Inspection Team.
However, the Inspection Team hasn’t been effective for years, and the seniors didn’t want to meddle in trivial matters. Over time, people forgot about their existence.
This time, however, the impact was too severe!
The Inspection Team has mobilized!
Lu Yingxue is the current president, committing such a scandal that puts the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine Association at risk, a matter of life and death.
Making a laughingstock for peers domestically and abroad; are they, Traditional Chinese Medicine, going to decline?
"Lu Yingxue hasn’t arrived yet, just waiting on her. I saw the video online showing she was beaten to a pulp, probably too ashamed to come."
"If she doesn’t come, wouldn’t that confirm the rumors?"
As discussions went on, Lu Yingxue’s silhouette appeared.
