Hard Evidence

"First, I would like to introduce to you a loving couple who have fallen on hard times but was not helped out by their rich son. Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Lu"

The two country bumpkins were wide eyed and nervous to see so many people gathered around. They've never been on stage before and was very much out of their element. They held onto each other as they ambled to the microphone, occasionally looking to each other for mental support.

Last night they were given a piece of paper to memorize, it was a speech made for today's press conference. They were able to get the gist of what it said and it basically defamed their son. If they were normal parents they would have left the hotel as soon as they read the details but sadly for Lu Han his parents were to be the end of him.

"My husband and I thank you for coming to hear our sad story. We are from the country and wanted to visit our son Lu Han… yes you may know him as CEO Lu of the Li Corporation. He had an engagement party that we weren't invited to, but we wanted to visit and send him our well wishes. But… he... had us kidnapped" she started crying and fortunately for her it was real tears as she remembered the kidnapping and deaths that she experienced.

The husband took over from there "If it were not for our savior who prefers to be anonymous we would have already been sold overseas~! We don't have a son like this…"

Both couple were visibly distraught and crying on stage which elicited the sympathy of the crowd.

"Wait what? Didn't CEO Lu ranked 1st on the news just a while ago?" One reporter said

"Yes, someone sent him a gift containing nude pictures of his affair with his mistress who happened attend his engagement party~!!"

"That is despicable~! The mistress must have really thick skin to even attend the engagement party."

"I heard that his fiancé was so livid that she and the mistress had a brawl then and there!! It was chaos~!"

The discussion just kept elevating as more and more reporters were voicing out what they knew

"After that his companies stocks kept dropping and he's been begging his acquaintances to help him get it back up… and now he even had his parents kidnapped?!"

The crowd was in uproar but also excited to be able to write such a juicy story. Not every day do you hear so many tantalizing secrets from one of the wealthiest men in the nation.

This news was being broadcast nationwide so at the moment Lu Han was receiving phone calls nonstop.

"What is it?" He bellowed

His secretary was so nervous that he dare not even breathe "Sir, we are in trouble. Look at the news"

Begrudgingly, Lu Han flips on the news and sees his parents on TV. He then hears what they had to say and he went berserk~!! What the hell are these two doing? He should have had them killed instead of sold into slavery!

Unfortunately he couldn't rewind time and now he was in dire straits. The nation yet again found fault with him for being un-filial on top of being uncovered as a womanizer not too long ago. This was going to ruin him for sure. What the hell is happening? He just couldn't fathom anyone he had offended… besides his fiancé of course but she would never do that to him.

He turns back to his phone and asks his secretary if he's had any progress on who sent that "Gift" at the engagement party.

"Sir, it has been sent to your email address"

So he jogs over to his laptop and checks his email. Opens the one sent to him from his secretary and when he read what the documents showed, he was livid. He grabbed his desk and upended it throwing all of his paperwork and office supplies all over the floor.

"Xu Yun you bitch~! How dare you play with me!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.

On his laptop showed pictures of Xu Yun dropping off the gift that ruined his engagement party. Telephone records of Xu Yun talking to his shareholders and much more.

These were all documents compiled against Xu Yun by Liu Wei. It was all staged to put Xu Yun and Lu Han on opposing sides. Since it was literally a piece of cake for her to mess around in the cyber world. Even a voice recorded message was ultimately changed to sound as if Xu Yun wanted Lu Han to be dumped by his fiancé and paid someone to spread the news.

Even though he was angry to the point where he wanted nothing more than to squeeze the life out of Xu Yun he forced himself to watch the remainder of the press conference.

At the W Hotel the MC went up back on stage to introduce the next big news.

"Ladies and Gentleman we appreciate that you have many questions but please wait until the end of the press conference to ask them. We would like to move this along. Next we have a video recording that was anonymously sent to us and well.. it's best if you see it for yourselves"

Everyone was baffled but still they tuned in patiently as the video started playing on the big screen.

The screen lit up and on it was Lu Han, he was smiling and nonchalantly lounging on a chair. He seemed so relaxed and happy.

"Hello my darling, since you are seeing this video it must mean that you are the last one left. I think you deserve to know why you are being sent to your death."

It cuts off to a video of a woman who was battered and bruised, shaking from anger as tears rolled down her face.

"Who is that?" One reporter shouted?

"Oh my God… that's his ex-wife~! Li Na the daughter who would have inherited the Li Corporation."

The video feed continued

"You see, I'm a very ambitious person and you and your family were just a stepping stone to get me to the top. I was raised as a poor bastard and was looked down upon my whole life. But I wanted to rewrite my future and I'm sorry to say that the Li Family are collateral damage to attain my goal."

"Holy sh*t are you serious right now? Did he have someone kill his ex-wife?" The woman reporter was so in shock that she didn't even know she spoke this thought out loud.

Everyone heard it and soon came to the same conclusion. He is depraved and sadistic!

"Wait.. wait… wasn't it reported that all the Li Family turned up dead? None survived which means that Lu Han killed all of them even the little brother…" Another reporter said as he came to this heinous conclusion.

Soon the reporter's laptops and cameras were on full working force. They didn't want to miss a single word that Lu Han says on this video clip.

"The Li Corporation will be mine and I will play the grieving widow to perfection. I need it for Miss Sheng to notice me, so wish me luck. All I need from you, is to do your part now and die"

The video ends and the screen goes black. Silence was everywhere for a split second and then everyone was shouting left and right.
