The surrounding discussion made Lu Yan’s heart drop. He wanted to explain, but he did not know what to say. He could not see anything now, and this group of people was saying that they saw him in the surveillance footage.
Lu Xiang’s face was ferocious as she almost broke down. For the first time, she felt helpless. It was as if a thousand-kilogram rock was pressing down on her body. She could not breathe.
Qiao Xi frowned unhappily and questioned, “Second Miss Lu, we’ve already found the culprit who poisoned Old Master Lu. What do you want to do with him? Not only did this person cause Old Master Lu to be unconscious, but he also tried to frame Ah Zheng. You can’t let this go. After all, when you thought that Ah Zheng was the culprit just now, you wanted to call the police to arrest him. If you don’t deal with Lu Yan, everyone will think that you’re still biased toward him and indulge him even after he poisoned Old Master Lu!
“Could it be that the poisoning is also related to you, Second Miss Lu? After all, if you two poison Old Master Lu, you and Ah Yan can monopolize the Lu family’s assets.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could not help but gasp. This crime was huge. Qiao Xi meant that if Lu Xiang did not deal with Lu Yan, she would be suspected of being an accomplice!
“Qiao Xi!” Lu Xiang roared angrily as her temples twitched.
Qiao Xi covered her ears with a disdainful expression. “Lower your voice. I’m not deaf. Old Master Lu is unconscious, but you’re not worried at all. Instead, you’re concerned about Lu Yan. I suspect there’s a good reason for you two to conspire to harm Old Master Lu!”
The surroundings instantly fell silent. Gu Zheng had a smile on the corners of his mouth as he nodded elegantly. “Xi Xi, you’re right.”
Lu Xiang instantly panicked and retorted in horror, “I didn’t! Ah Yan would never have poisoned my father. The surveillance footage is fake! You must have tampered with it!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the butler said helplessly, “Second Miss, we’ve already found the medicine bottle in Young Master’s room. The doctor has confirmed that it’s the poison that poisoned Old Master. I think we should quickly get Young Master to admit his mistake! Otherwise, if this matter blows up, it won’t be good for our Lu family.”
Qiao Xi’s gaze paused. She had long taken the medicine bottle away, so why did the butler say that he found poison in Lu Yan’s room? Moreover, even if the butler had found the medicine bottle, shouldn’t he tell Lu Xiang about it in private? If he said it in front of everyone, wouldn’t it be equivalent to telling everyone that Lu Yan had indeed poisoned the old master?
How could the Lu family’s butler be so unreasonable? In that case…
Qiao Xi gulped and could not help but look at the man beside her. This butler was one of Gu Zheng’s people!
At this moment, Gu Zheng was still elegant and noble as if everything that was happening had nothing to do with him.
Lu Xiang’s face was pale. Her legs went weak as she fell onto the chair. She never expected that after her father fell back into a coma, not only would Ah Yan lose his eyesight, but he would also become the culprit behind the poisoning.
Just as everyone was about to leave, someone said indignantly, “The surveillance cameras captured it very clearly. It was clearly Lu Yan who poisoned the old master. Now that the truth is out, shouldn’t Second Miss Lu and Lu Yan apologize to President Gu? Old Master Lu taught Lu Yan well, but he actually poisoned Old Master Gu for the sake of power. He’s really heartless!”
“I think Lu Yan was afraid that President Gu would snatch his position as the heir after returning to the Lu family, so he poisoned the old master. That way, he could inherit the Lu family as soon as possible. He’s vicious!”
Hearing the ridicule from around him, Lu Yan gritted his teeth. “Gu Zheng!!!”
“Young Master Lu, we can hear you. There’s no need to be so loud.” Qiao Xi’s tone was mocking. “Young Master Lu, you’re the heir of the Lu family now. If Old Master Lu continues to be unconscious, according to the rules, you’ll be the next head of the family. The entire Lu family will fall into your hands, right?”
“Qiao Xi! What nonsense are you talking about? My father will definitely wake up!” Lu Xiang shouted at the top of her voice, “The heir of the Lu family can only be Ah Yan. Gu Zheng can forget about it!”
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “Second Miss Lu, you’re so protective of Lu Yan. Do you think he’s your son?! Since you’re so confident, just wait and see!”
Lu Xiang’s expression suddenly darkened. She wanted to curse, but Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng had already turned around and left.
Hearing their footsteps getting farther and farther away, Lu Yan’s expression was as gloomy as ink. He gritted his teeth and said, “Aunt, we absolutely can’t let Gu Zheng enter the ancestral hall!”
Lu Xiang hurriedly went forward and comforted him. “Ah Yan, we haven’t lost yet. You’re still the heir of the Lu family. As long as Gu Zheng announces that he’s giving up the inheritance in public, no one will fight with you anymore!”
Lu Yan took a deep breath. His body was extremely tired, and his vision was still dark. His eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul.
