Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The Scent of Conspiracy_1

Luo Yuantu wheeled himself into the room and, seeing his daughter’s tear-stained cheeks, he sighed and patted her back, comforting her, "Zi Tong, don’t cry anymore. Your grandmother and mother said those things for the sake of our family."

"You are their granddaughter, their daughter, how could they possibly harm you?"

"Dad, they all want to go and keep company with that old coot!"

Luo Zitong looked up with teary red eyes and said, "They also said if I don’t go, our entire family is doomed. They are forcing me!"

"Ah..." Luo Yuantu sighed, "In truth, grandmother is not wrong; our Luo family really has reached a dead end."

"No! My brother and I have our limbs intact; if we go out to work, we can totally support the family."

Luo Zitong said stubbornly.

"Work? How much money can you make from a job? Five thousand? Or six thousand?"

Luo Yuantu shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Even if you and Xuan Ran go to work properly, you could at most earn just over ten thousand a month."

"There are five mouths to feed in our family. Renting a place outside alone costs at least four to five thousand a month. I have to be treated for my illness too, which costs at least five or six thousand a month, not to mention your and your mom’s skincare products, grandma’s medication, household expenses."

"Even if we could somehow persevere like this, is this the life you want? Do you really want to struggle like this for the rest of your life?"

"Zi Tong, you were once the young mistress of our Luo family. Grandma spoiled you, I spoiled you, your mom spoiled you, and your brother spoiled you too. So you could afford not to take your studies or job seriously and just scrape by every day."

"But now it’s different. Luo Group has been transferred, and our family is bankrupt. If you don’t find a way to take responsibility, our family will only become more miserable in the future."

As he spoke, he observed his daughter’s expression, which indeed showed some softening. He immediately added, "Your grandmother’s words were indeed a bit harsh just now, but she also has worked hard for our family."

"She is already of such an age, half in the grave, and won’t live many more years. Would she have you take on this responsibility if it wasn’t absolutely necessary?"

Luo Zitong felt guilty and said in a low voice, "Dad, I know grandma is doing it for our family, but the thought of actively keeping company with that bald man makes me nauseous..."

"Shh!"

Luo Yuantu quickly covered his daughter’s mouth and whispered, "Tao Pinggui is outside. If he hears you calling him baldy, our family would be done for!"

"Besides, what’s wrong with baldness? It’s natural for a man to go bald with age."

"A man being handsome is useless. What’s important is to have money, resources, and connections!"

He earnestly advised her, "Take your brother, for instance. He’s not bad looking, right? But given the current situation of our Luo family, do you think any woman would like him if he went out now?"

"That Tao Pinggui, I just asked my friends in Jiangnan City. He’s not only the head of Tao’s Commerce Guild but also an important member of the Tao Family. Most importantly, his relationship with his wife is quite average, and they barely communicate."

"If you can get involved and usurp his wife’s position, when the time comes, you won’t just talk about inheriting billions in assets, but at the very least, a few billion will be there."

"A few billion! That’s enough for several lifetimes without worry!"

The temptation of billions is more than what ordinary people can resist, especially for a young person like Luo Zitong.

When she dated Wang Qiang before, he had only spent a couple million on her, but now, faced with the temptation of billions, she was immediately swayed.

"Dad, I get what you mean," she said.

Luo Zitong took a deep breath, seemingly accepting her fate. "I’ll go!"

That night, after taking a bath, Luo Zitong put on a silk nightgown and entered Tao Pinggui’s room with a glass of milk in her hand.

With a creak, the door closed behind her, and Luo Zitong never left the room again.

In the living room downstairs, Chen Guihua watched her daughter enter Tao Pinggui’s room and burst into tears.

Luo Yuantu also felt a pang of distress. For the sake of the Luo family, he had sold his daughter to a man close to his own age.

Luo Xuanran clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with utter humiliation.

He had always been close to his sister since they were young, but now, seeing her willingly enter the room of a disgusting old man for the sake of the family, the humiliation in his heart was unimaginable.

Only the old lady remained indifferent as if for the sake of the Luo family, anyone could be sacrificed.

...

Meanwhile, in another place, Mo Han, having tidied up the room furniture, was sitting on the balcony, smoking and enjoying the moonlight outside.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was He Chen calling.

"Hello, Mister Mo, I have two pieces of news to report to you," he said.

Mo Han hummed lightly in response and immediately made an excuse to go downstairs. "Go ahead."

He Chen spoke gravely, "First, Sun Shaohua, who offended you this afternoon, is dead!"

"Dead? How did he die? Did you have a hand in it?"

Mo Han was somewhat astonished. Although Sun Shaohua was a bit arrogant, his actions didn’t warrant death, and Mo Han had already taught him a lesson that afternoon. By all logic, He Chen shouldn’t have made a move against him.

"Even Mister Mo thinks so; it seems that the outside world will think the same,"

He Chen said with a wry smile, "But I really didn’t tell Go Lao’er to take any action..."

Mo Han instantly sensed the scent of conspiracy and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the details of what happened."

"Around five in the afternoon, Sun Shaohua was riding a tractor back to the hotel. On the way, he encountered Sir Arthur on duty. To avoid Sir Arthur, he hurried off the tractor, and then a black business car hit him and he died instantly,"

He Chen replied, "The driver of the car that caused the accident fled the scene immediately. Sir Arthur, after investigating the license plate, discovered that it was a car from Jucail Commercial Association."

"Sir Arthur, who is in charge of the case, after checking the nearby surveillance, suspects that Jucail Commercial Association had a role in the killing, and now he’s demanding I hand over Lao’er..."
