After a brief pause, Liu Lu slowly opened his mouth.
"President Ge and I were indeed victims of the Rongfu Phase II project back then!"
"As expected!"
Lin Mei no longer harbored any hope.
Although born into a wealthy family,
Her experience might not have been extensive,
But when it came to understanding human nature,
She was quite astute.
Who would willingly abandon a clear, open path to deliberately tread a crooked, narrow single-plank bridge?
This Liu Lu had long been completely under Ge Jun's control.
And the pro-Ge faction, upon hearing this, were already flexing their muscles.
These two people from the Lin family questioning Ge Jun,
Was undoubtedly questioning them as well.
Hearing this, these individuals could no longer contain themselves, and began to gather from around the conference table to the floor below.
"Lu Feng, you brat, get down here."
A group of them, enraged, clearly intended to hold Lu Feng and Lin Mei accountable.
"What we're saying is the truth, it's utterly foolish!"
Seeing these people about to make a move, Lin Mei could only try to fend them off from all sides.
But these words undoubtedly exploded like a thunderclap in the midst of the crowd.
"People from the Lin family are arrogant and foolish, how dare you, a mere girl, say such things?"
As one person spoke,
The entire group instantly transformed into a violent tide.
Ge Jun looked at the scene before him.
He smiled slightly, quite pleased.
The atmosphere at this moment was excellent.
With eight minutes remaining, the votes should also be in place.
It was time for him to make his appearance!
Just as Ge Jun was about to push through the crowd to the front,
Liu Lu spoke again.
He continued speaking.
"President Ge did indeed suffer considerable losses."
Suddenly, Liu Lu's previously straightforward narrative took a sharp turn.
"But!"
Hearing this, the assistant's heart skipped a beat.
However, Ge Jun paid it no mind.
"This kid, he really knows how to grasp people's hearts."
These transition words, he used them quite skillfully.
In his view, this person was likely using these words to express his predicament as truthfully as possible.
However, in the next moment, the assistant's expression shifted from flustered to grim.
"President Ge, this Liu Lu seems off, listen to him!"
Liu Lu was now speaking volubly.
"But, while Ge Jun and I suffered losses, in the end, it was all the homeowners and investors who were victimized!"
Ge Jun listened intently.
He didn't find anything particularly amiss.
Who would readily admit to their own mistakes?
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Ge Jun nodded with absolute confidence.
But the moment he said this,
Liu Lu's subsequent words caused not only him but also everyone present to freeze.
"And I, Liu Lu, was actually one of the planners of the Rongfu Phase II plan! Of course, this plan also included President Ge Jun!"
"What?"
Silence instantly fell over the surroundings.
Pairs of eyes fixed on Liu Lu, completely stunned.
Ge Jun's confident expression instantly turned ashen, as if covered by frost and snow.
"Liu Lu, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Immediately, he raised his voice and roared at the man on stage.
Inside, countless questions churned.
Had this Liu Lu gone mad?
This person had actually implicated himself.
This was something he had never anticipated.
Why was this person doing this?
Ge Jun's face remained as cold and serene as a block of marble.
But his heart could no longer remain calm.
Once this was admitted,
And if he were to testify to it, it would mean he too could not escape responsibility.
Ge Jun couldn't fathom any reason why this Liu Lu would act this way.
"If you speak such nonsense, don't you have to think about your daughter? How old is she!"
Ge Jun's voice rose further.
No matter what, he absolutely could not let this person continue on this reckless path.
But these words, far from pulling Liu Lu back,
Instead, they provoked an extremely strong reaction from Liu Lu.
His entire face began to tremble.
In a moment, this trembling turned into spasms.
The frequency of the spasms increased.
And at this very moment, Liu Lu let out a deafening roar from the depths of his soul.
"Ge Jun, my daughter, don't you know what happened to her?"
"I, I?"
Ge Jun was instantly dumbfounded.
How could he possibly know about Liu Lu's daughter?
He had only heard of her.
Although he could easily obtain detailed information about Liu Lu's daughter.
After all, in this world, money could make the devil turn the millstone.
What couldn't be achieved under a substantial reward?
But he had no reason to find Liu Lu's daughter.
Sensing the misunderstanding, Ge Jun immediately found a lifeline, like a root in a turbulent river.
Of course, he grabbed it without hesitation.
"Liu Lu, I think there must be a misunderstanding between us. Liu Lu, quickly come down. This is not a private place, and your every word and action will have a significant impact. Don't let our misunderstanding lead you astray. If you do, how will your daughter look at you in the future? She will hate you! Hate you, her father, for failing to fulfill your paternal responsibilities!"
Ge Jun was always adept at psychological tactics.
With these few words,
Even if it wasn't Liu Lu himself, anyone would have been emotionally stirred.
However, as these words entered Liu Lu's ears,
They transformed into a cold, mocking smile that lingered on his lips.
Immediately, Liu Lu returned to his previous emotional state.
"Yes, I have indeed failed my daughter. Three years ago, I should have stood up. Li Jian, do you know who he is? It was him who had ill intentions towards my daughter. Although he failed, the impact and threat to my daughter were constant, and finally, unable to bear the burden, my daughter committed suicide. I presume, you, Ge Jun, should not have forgotten!"
Every word was like a blade.
It brought the past back to the forefront of his mind.
Liu Lu's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
The tragic sight of his daughter lying dead on the road below in the early hours of that day was still vivid in his memory.
Clear tears flowed uncontrollably.
Liu Lu was weeping bitterly.
Since Lin Mei had heard that turning point,
Not only had the anxiety that had been accumulating in her heart vanished,
But she had also felt a surge of excitement.
However, upon hearing this part,
The excitement that had been lingering in her heart instantly dissipated.
A young girl, harassed by a greasy middle-aged man, and ultimately unable to bear the strain.
This was not just a tragedy, but a vivid, infuriating calamity.
"Ge Jun, say something!"
Liu Lu shouted hoarsely.
But at this moment, Ge Jun stood frozen in place, completely stunned.
His eyes were vacant.
It wasn't because he had been swayed by Liu Lu's words.
Nor was he immersed in this tragic story.
Rather, he had never imagined that
The victim in this matter, which he had helped Li Jianping cover up, was none other than Liu Lu's daughter.
Ge Jun instantly didn't know how to express his feelings.
Although he was standing, he involuntarily began to sway imperceptibly.
"President Ge, be careful!"
