98. Chapter 98: Heartache for Big Brother, Xixi is Angry

"Heavens!!!"

Seeing her son move against her daughter, Bai Fengxia was startled. She rushed over to stop Luo Xichuan, crying out, "Xichuan! What are you doing? This is Xixi! Let go quickly! Don't hurt your sister!"

Luo Xichuan, however, acted as if he couldn't hear her. He continued to glare viciously at Luo Xixi, gritting his teeth as he said, "Luo Xixi, go to hell! You go to hell for me!!"

Luo Xixi's current body had inherited the strength of her previous life, so she easily blocked Luo Xichuan's hand. Looking at Luo Xichuan's state, although she hadn't suffered any injuries, her heart felt as if it were being fiercely squeezed by something, painful and stifling. She opened her mouth, her voice somewhat hoarse as she said, "Big Brother, don't be like this; this isn't you at all."

"..."

Seeing Luo Xixi's eyes turn red, with tears seemingly welling up in them, Luo Xichuan's body suddenly gave a violent jolt. A flash of extremely swift, painful struggle crossed his eyes, but before he could react further, the police had already rushed over to intervene, restraining Luo Xichuan once again!

"The suspect's emotional state is currently very unstable. You should all head back first!"

The police said to the Luo Family.

Bai Fengxia burst into tears. She held her daughter and looked at her son, saying with a pained heart, "Xichuan, please wake up! This is Xixi, isn't this the sister you cherish? You were so good to Xixi before, why are you blaming her like this now? You're crazy, you're truly crazy!!"

"..."

Luo Xichuan was pinned to the chair by the police. His expression remained angry and insane, yet those pitch-black eyes were filled with so many complex and varied emotions that even his crazed smile turned bitter; he was clearly smiling, yet it looked just like crying.

Luo Xixi saw Luo Xichuan's expression clearly.

She saw it.

Big Brother is in great pain right now.

He doesn't want this; he doesn't want this at all. But, even though it is his own body, it is completely beyond his own control, forced to be manipulated into doing things that constantly harm the person he loves.

This time, it has truly gone too far!

If Luo Shiqing had merely used flowery words to fool Big Brother, that would be one thing, but now she is directly and forcibly controlling his actions, altering his will, and making Big Brother do things he absolutely does not want to do.

For this, she will absolutely never forgive her!!!

Luo Xixi left the police station with her father and mother.

Just as they walked out of the police station gate.

They saw Luo Xichuan's secretary waiting anxiously at the entrance. Seeing the three of them come out, the secretary immediately rushed over, "Chairman Luo, Madam, Miss Xixi, what is the situation with President Luo now?"

Mentioning Luo Xichuan, Bai Fengxia started shedding tears again. She covered her mouth and turned to the side. Seeing Bai Fengxia cry, Luo Xixi felt distressed as well and quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't cry, be careful not to ruin your eyes."

Seeing his wife's reaction, Luo Zhennian also felt a pang of heartache, but now that his eldest son had encountered such an incident, he, as the father, had to continue supporting this family. He steadied his mind and said to the secretary, "Xichuan cannot appear for the time being; the investigation must continue. Secretary Zhang, what is the matter that you came over?"

Secretary Zhang said with a nervous expression, "Chairman Luo, it is regarding President Luo. I don't know where the media found out about President Luo's situation, but they are now wildly declaring on the internet that President Luo has improper intentions toward his own sister and even took her to a hotel attempting to assault her. There is likely someone behind the scenes fanning the flames, causing President Luo's matter to stir up a huge wave online. The entire company is also starting to panic. Although the market hasn't opened yet, by tomorrow, the stock price will likely take a nosedive!"

It wasn't that Luo Zhennian hadn't anticipated this situation, he just hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. But he had no heart to manage company affairs right now; if his son were judged to be a rapist, his life would be ruined.

"Secretary Zhang, you first organize the public relations department to stabilize the public opinion, and tell the people in the company not to let their imaginations run wild, nor to speak nonsense to outsiders. If reporters go to the company tomorrow, have the security guards block them. If there aren't enough guards, transfer some more to be on standby. In any case, do not let them break into the company, and even more so, do not let the employees lose their composure!"

Luo Zhennian arranged for Secretary Zhang.

"Understood, Chairman Luo."

Secretary Zhang agreed, then thought for a moment and asked worriedly, "Then what should be done about President Luo's side? The best way now is to prove that President Luo is innocent, that those accusations online are all groundless; this is also the best counterattack against public opinion."

But how could Luo Zhennian not know this?

However, his son is currently completely impervious to reason, and the things he says are all detrimental to himself. Even if they want to help him, it won't work if he doesn't cooperate.

Luo Zhennian rubbed his forehead in a headache and steadied Secretary Zhang, saying, "I will find a way to resolve this as soon as possible and get Xichuan out. As for the company matters, Secretary Zhang, it will be hard on you these days."

Secretary Zhang said, "Chairman Luo, don't say that. None of us believe that President Luo would do such a thing. Actually, today, Miss Shiqing took the initiative to go find President Luo. After President Luo and Miss Shiqing came out of the office, I felt that President Luo was acting a bit strange. I think this matter still needs to be approached from Miss Shiqing."

"Shiqing took the initiative to find Xichuan?"

Luo Zhennian was greatly shocked and asked, "What did she go find Xichuan for?"

Secretary Zhang shook his head: "I am not too clear on the specifics, but it seems she wanted to have a meal with President Luo. Actually, these past few days, President Luo has been having me investigate Miss Shiqing and Sheng Tinglan."

"Investigate Shiqing and Sheng Tinglan?!"

Once these words were spoken.

Luo Zhennian was shocked once again.

He could understand investigating Sheng Tinglan, because that person was spreading black material about Xixi behind her back, trying to ruin Xixi's reputation, but what was the reason for investigating Shiqing?

Hearing this news, Bai Fengxia was also stunned beyond belief. She immediately leaned in and asked, "What is going on? Xichuan is investigating Shiqing? Why? What is Xichuan investigating Shiqing for?"

Seeing that the Luo Family was still in the dark, Secretary Zhang was a bit surprised. He said, "Actually, we found out that Miss Shiqing has a connection with that Sheng Tinglan. She went out at night twice, both times to meet that Sheng Tinglan."

"What?!!"

Bai Fengxia exclaimed in astonishment, "Shiqing actually went to see Sheng Tinglan? Why?!"

"We don't know the specific reason yet, but President Luo probably already knows something."

"..."

Bai Fengxia stopped talking.

She suddenly remembered that during the Recognition Banquet, Xixi had muttered in her heart that Shiqing couldn't wait to cancel the engagement early so she could go see the male lead. Afterward, she had indeed left the Recognition Banquet and didn't return home for the entire night.

At the time, Shiqing said she was at a friend's house, but they all saw that her words didn't match her heart and she wasn't telling the truth. And now, the truth had come to light: she went to see Sheng Tinglan that night!

Is Sheng Tinglan the so-called male lead?

He even put black material about Xixi online? Does Shiqing know about these things? Or could it be that she was the one who instigated it? Was the reason Sheng Tinglan moved against Xixi all for the sake of Shiqing?
