Chapter 302: Chapter 300: Lu Heng’s Account

“Hold on!”

Just when everyone thought the case was closed, Lu Heng suddenly spoke up.

Instantly, both the viewers in the live stream and those present, like Xiaoqiao, had their attention drawn to him.

Wasn’t this case already solved?

Why did Lu Heng suddenly call a halt?

Could there be another twist?

Officer You frowned and asked in confusion, “Daoist, isn’t the case already clear and conclusive?”

“Zhang Qiang resented Lv, so he murdered him and disposed of the body.”

“To exonerate himself, he even pretended to report the case with Liu Xiang.”

“But he didn’t know that Shi Qianjin accidentally witnessed him disposing of the body and ended up saving Lv.”

“After rescuing him, Shi Qianjin didn’t report it but intended to use this information to coerce Liu Xiang and Zhang Qiang into selling Lv Wine Manor to him…”

Officer Zhang and others nodded in agreement.

After consolidating the testimonies of Boss Shi and Brother Zhang, everyone arrived at this conclusion.

Logically and reasonably, this explanation made sense.

But why was Lu Heng calling a halt?

The viewers were equally puzzled and confused.

“Officer You is right, isn’t the case already clear?”

“Yes, I also feel there’s nothing missing.”

“The murderer confessed, could there really be another twist?”

“The murderer admitted, and there were witnesses, no more twists, right?”

“Rest assured, there’s a reason why Lu Heng called a halt.”

“Lu Heng stopping the proceedings proves there are hidden truths in this case.”

“Officer You’s skepticism is understandable, given he’s not a fan of Lu Heng and doesn’t know his prowess. But why are the viewers also questioning?”

“Lu Heng’s words are unquestionable! I advise some young viewers to be mindful, reflect, and refrain from such cleverness in the future.”

“Let peace prevail in the stream, honor the virtue, no infighting!”

“This case involves the victim Lv, the chef Zhang Qiang, and Hongmei Restaurant’s boss Shi Qianjin. The only one not involved is Sister Liu, Liu Xiang! Any comments?”

“I suspect Liu Xiang is actually involved in this case!”

“No way, Zhang Qiang already said it was him alone!”

“Zhang Qiang is just infatuated; him taking the blame for Liu Xiang is not impossible…”

As discussions continued, Liu Xiang, who had been overlooked, was finally dragged into the vortex.

Seeing these comments appear on the screen, Xiaoqiao looked at Sister Liu in doubt.

Could she really be involved in this bizarre crime?

If that’s the case, then Liu Xiang is truly terrifying!

From the start, she had crafted a model image of a good wife and loving mother.

Even Boss Shi’s sarcastic remarks did not harm her in the slightest.

When Zhang Qiang admitted to being the murderer, he shouldered all the blame, completely absolving Liu Xiang.

Throughout, Liu Xiang remained in total control.

She seemed sure that Zhang Qiang would take all the blame for her…

Thinking of this, Xiaoqiao couldn’t help but shiver.

At the same time, his gaze at Liu Xiang was filled with fear.

This woman… is too frightening!

“Liu Xiang, Zhang Qiang is willing to take the blame for murder for you.”

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

Lu Heng slowly spoke.

“Old Daoist, I’m the one who did the killing, and I disposed of the body!”

“It has nothing to do with Liu!”

“Don’t make wild accusations and implicate her!”

Zhang Qiang hurriedly spoke up upon hearing this.

Unfortunately, the crowd ignored him and all eyes turned to Liu Xiang.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

With tear-swollen eyes, Liu Xiang shook her head full of grievances.

“Ha!”

Lu Heng couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, “Liu Xiang, though I’m not all-knowing, don’t think you can hide your and Zhang Qiang’s dealings from me!”

Liu Xiang was slightly taken aback.

“Daoist, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Liu Xiang pursed her lips, trying hard to negate Lu Heng’s words, like a pristine white lotus.

“Old Daoist, don’t frame Liu!”

“Whatever it is, come at me!”

Zhang Qiang shouted angrily.

“Fool!”

Lu Heng shook his head, labeling Zhang Qiang with an accurate and fitting tag.

Then, he smiled and said, “Liu Xiang, if you don’t want to speak, then I’ll speak for you!”

“If I’m not mistaken, Lv is not actually your son, isn’t that right?”

These words once again stunned everyone.

What the heck?

Lv isn’t Liu Xiang’s son?

Lu Heng continued, “Actually, Lv is your cousin’s son!”

“Ten years ago, you and your cousin went to the city to work and met Zhang Qiang, who was a chef, and Lv Wenhai.”

“You were very beautiful then, and both Zhang Qiang and Lv Wenhai liked you and pursued you romantically.”

“But you found Lv Wenhai too young, unreliable, and extravagant, not frugal, so you chose Zhang Qiang without hesitation.”

“Lv Wenhai, feeling helpless, turned his affections to your cousin.”

“Your cousin didn’t have such complex thoughts, so she quickly fell for Lv Wenhai’s advances.”

“Not long after, she became pregnant and revealed a shocking secret… Lv Wenhai was actually a second-generation rich kid!”

“Though not the elite wealthy, his family owned a century-old prestigious restaurant.”

“Lv Wine Manor was famous not only in Ningxi Town but also recognized in the province.”

“Father Lv managed the manor brilliantly and later bought multiple properties in the city.”

“However, young and rebellious Lv Wenhai disliked working at the family restaurant and sought work elsewhere.”

“Upon learning about Lv Wenhai’s family, you felt a twinge of regret.”

“Though Zhang Qiang was diligent and hardworking, he was an ordinary man who might never afford a hundred-square-meter apartment in the city.”

“For your future happiness, you decisively broke up with Zhang Qiang, ignoring his pleas, and schemed to separate Lv Wenhai and your cousin.”

“When your cousin was six months pregnant, you finally found a chance.”

“That night, you took advantage of Lv Wenhai’s drunkenness and spent the night with him.”

“The next morning, the devoted Zhang Qiang, at your bidding, played the role of the outraged husband.”

“He brought your pregnant cousin and barged in, catching you with Lv Wenhai in bed…”
