A female protagonist who suffers abuse in a novel? I'm flipping the table and going crazy on th

On camera, Jiang Shining appears so thin that she is just a skeleton, and her body is covered with shocking old and new scars.

The live stream chat exploded instantly, and people across the internet were outraged.

The press conference was held by local news outlets, official media, and even national-level official accounts.

They all went down to forward and severely criticize such malicious incidents.

In a short period of time, the Gu family scandal spread throughout the country and even quickly spread to foreign websites.

As the first person to release solid evidence photos and ignite the whole incident, Wen Qi's social media account saw a surge in followers.

The gossip that Wen Qi revealed was not only explosive, but also based on solid evidence, with zero hype and zero rumors.

Scrolling up, every post directly proves the person involved wrong, making it the pinnacle of whistleblowing.

Who wouldn't want to get the juiciest gossip, who wouldn't want to be the first to know the latest developments?

Wen Qi's motto is: There are plenty of juicy gossips out there. As long as you can't kill him, keep hammering him until he explodes.

Just look at this style, why wouldn't you pay attention?

The Gu family incident was the top trending topic, and related terms such as following Wen Qi's account occupied the top three spots on the trending searches.

After seeing this, the Lu family members were somewhat afraid of Wen Qi, after all, they didn't know how many things Wen Qi was still holding.

On this day, the Lu family members were extremely cautious in their speech and actions.

He had to think through his words three times in his mind before he dared to speak, for fear that Wen Qi would record him and send the Lu family to the top of the trending searches.

On Sunday morning, Lu Zhenhua, who had been busy raising money for days, surprisingly did not go to the company.

In his study, Lu Zhenhua convened a small meeting.

Lu Zhenbang was woken up early in the morning, in a very bad mood: "Brother, how's the sale of your property going? Have you raised enough money to buy the shares?"

Lu Zhenhua rubbed his throbbing temples: "We're still short by a little over 300 million, but we're almost there. Give me a few more days and we can raise the rest."

"Hurry up and deal with this. I don't want to live like this for another day!" Lu Zhenbang said, his face full of frustration. He was exhausted.

Lu Zhenhua looked at his father: "Dad, a global international auction is being held at the Peace Hotel in three days, but we haven't received an invitation."

Grandpa Lu didn't seem to care much: "Where would we get the money to buy things now?"

"This auction is different from previous ones." Lu Zhenhua said with particular solemnity: "This is a global auction. The guests who have received invitations are all top-tier wealthy families from various regions. Any one of them is either extremely rich or extremely powerful."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu asked curiously, "A global auction? What kind of items are mainly auctioned?"

"Currently, information from the outside world is extremely tightly controlled. No one in the industry knows the specific items to be auctioned. The organizers have done a very good job of keeping it secret and have not released any related information so far."

Top-tier global auctions are rare and exclusive events, serving as opportunities for elite networking.

Getting in would be entirely beneficial to the Lu family's future development.

Old Master Lu's face darkened: "Our Lu family is a reputable, long-established wealthy family, yet the organizers didn't even send us an invitation?"

Lu Zhenhua shook his head: "I just asked other companies indirectly. Some had invitations, and some didn't. I found out that to get entry to this auction, you have to show up in person to verify your funds."

"We're a long-established company; do we really need to verify our capital to participate in an auction?"

"That's right, Dad, I want to go to this auction." Lu Zhenhua asked for his father's opinion.

Recently, in order to raise money to acquire shares from Wen Qi, the Lu family has been selling off a large number of properties and splitting up assets, and they are hesitant to touch their cash flow.

If the funds are verified, they will be locked up, and he's worried that he won't have enough money to buy shares later.

Old Master Lu disagreed: "Forget about those empty words. Right now, nothing is more important than stabilizing the Lu family's foundation. Buying Wen Qi's shares is the most crucial thing right now."

Getting rid of Wen Qi is the most important thing for the Lu family.

Wen Qi's online popularity remains high thanks to her solid evidence.

Their biggest concern right now is to go along with Wen Qi.

"Dad's right!" Lu Zhenbang immediately agreed, slamming his hand on the table. "Forget about the auction for now. Getting rid of Wen Qi, that big shot, is more important than anything else."

Lu Chengxuan quickly nodded in agreement, looking utterly worn out: "Yes, Uncle, the most important thing is to buy back the shares and stabilize the situation."

After ten days, Lu Chengxuan had come to see through it all.

Who on the internet doesn't know Wen Qi these days?

If she casually posts a status update or reveals even the smallest bit of dirt or scandal, it can spread across the entire country in the next second.

Getting involved with Wen Qi will never end well; the Lu family is truly someone you can't afford to offend now.

Seeing that everyone was against him, Lu Zhenhua lost face: "Can't you all think a little longer? This is a global auction. Making friends with even one person here would be beneficial to the Lu family's future."

Old Master Lu sighed: "Zhenhua, I understand your thoughts, but the matter of the shares is urgent and cannot afford the slightest mistake. Auctions of this level have extremely high thresholds. Even just entering to observe and have some simple socializing will inevitably result in a huge financial loss."

If it were in the past, during the Lu family's heyday, he would definitely have given his full support.

But now, for the Lu family, nothing is more important than getting rid of Wen Qi completely.

"Brother, don't be foolish. I've poured all my savings into this to cover the losses. If you try to pull some stunts and end up making me lose everything, don't blame me for not showing brotherly loyalty!"

Lu Zhenhua gave him a cold, sidelong glance: "Short-sighted thing."

Lu Zhenbang was furious: "So what if I'm short-sighted? At least I didn't raise a son who ruined our family business!"

"you……"

Lu Chengxuan chimed in, "Uncle, all this mess was caused by my cousin, and as a result, Grandpa, my second uncle, and I have been dragged into it and suffered every day."

You stay at the company every day and never have to face unpleasant things, so you have no idea how tough our lives are.

His words left Lu Zhenhua speechless.

Lu Zhenbang crossed his arms: "That's right, we didn't lend you the money for nothing. You'll have to settle the debt with shares later. Don't try to renege."

"Alright," Old Master Lu said, stopping the argument. "Zhenhua, focus on raising the money honestly, and stop thinking about those unrealistic things."

Lu Zhenhua had his own plans.

He found out in the morning that no more than ten people in the entire city of A could receive an invitation to this auction.

If the Lu family can squeeze in, they can salvage the face they have recently lost in social circles and completely reverse the outside world's impression of the Lu family's decline and fall.

"Dad, I've thought about it carefully. The stock price of our Lu family business has been steadily rising, and the momentum is just right."

If we can make a high-profile appearance at this top-tier auction and showcase the Lu family's strength, it will definitely amaze the entire industry, and the stock price could rise again.

If Wen Qi can't raise the full amount for the shares within ten days, she can at most pay an additional 50 million in breach of contract fees to buy time. However, the stock price is rising every day, and the daily gains are real.

"If we miss this auction, even if we successfully buy back the shares in the end, we'll never have such a good opportunity to make a high-profile comeback and save face."

Everyone understands the principle, but the current days are just too difficult to endure.
