MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 579 fall into the trap
Shen Ningning's first reaction was to suspect Mo Lingwei.
Could it be your brother who did it?
In order to make her give up Lu Shaoyuan?
But after years of getting along with each other, she suppressed this idea the moment it came up.
It won’t be Mo Lingwei’s.
Even if he usually has a domineering personality, he would never do such a thing.
Lu Shaoyuan murmured in shock at the side: "Dead...how could she be dead? If so, who will clear my name?"
The crowd of onlookers has begun to point and point—
“Why did such a good girl jump off the building?”
“I look like I’ve been killed!”
"I just heard from the waiter in the restaurant that the youngest son of Mrs. Meng, the big owner of the business, that is Mr. Lu, got drunk and took the body of another girl, and he doesn't want to take responsibility!"
"What? This happened, no wonder the princess came too. I'm afraid Second Young Master Lu was afraid that his marriage to the princess would be affected, so he couldn't wait to kill him!"
People's public opinion, when combined with malicious speculation, is always the most terrifying.
In just a few moments, no one cared about the truth.
In everyone's mouth, Lu Shaoyuan has become a murder suspect.
Mo Lingwei immediately sent out his personal guards and asked them to block the scene, disperse the people, and ordered not to spread rumors.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly stepped into the restaurant.
The personal guards followed Mo Lingwei, quickly surrounded and controlled the restaurant, and cleared all the guests out.
The owner of the restaurant turned pale with fright. He chased Mo Lingwei and kept saying, "Your Highness, my family is a good citizen. This restaurant has been open for almost ten years, and this is the first time such a thing has happened!"
"Then why Second Young Master Lu killed people, I don't know. He just drank with a group of people here, and then went to rest when he was drunk. I don't know them at all! Your Highness, you must not seal When I entered the villain’s shop, all eight members of the villain’s family pointed to this job!”
Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips on his stern face and completely ignored the shopkeeper's cry.
It wasn't until he walked up to Shen Ningning and glanced at Lu Shaoyuan beside her with a stern look that he said to the shopkeeper: "Go and get the sobering soup, go right away."
The shopkeeper sighed in embarrassment and turned away.
Lu Shaoyuan seemed to have been hit hard. He sat at the table with a gray face, covering his eyebrows with one hand, and kept muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
Mo Lingwei looked at Lu Shaoyuan and said coldly: "There are many people with treacherous minds in the world. You have just started doing business. You don't know that the most difficult thing is not making money, but dealing with people. I'm afraid you have been fooled." It’s someone else’s plan.”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Ningning, with undisguised concern in his eyes.
He rushed over as soon as he heard the news, fearing that Shen Ningning would be affected and criticized by others.
However, the girl just looked at him quietly with doubtful eyes at this time.
“Are you okay?” Mo Lingwei asked.
Shen Ningning shook her head: "Brother, why are you here?"
Mo Lingwei: "I'm going out to visit the palace today. I heard something happened here when I was nearby."
Shen Ningning frowned: "So fast?"
From the time Lu Shaoyuan's accident happened to the time Mo Lingwei came over, it only took a cup of tea.
The news spread so well, it was obviously planned by someone!
Lu Shaoyuan banged his fist on the table: "It must be Mr. Long who harmed me! I'll go find him right now!"
Shen Ningning quickly grabbed him.
"Don't go there in a hurry. A scholar can commit suicide to harm you. We don't know what will happen when we go to find Jiang Shanglong. It's not too late to go after we have some clues in the investigation."
Mo Lingwei immediately called the guards around him: "Go and arrest the group of people who drank with Lu Shaoyuan last night and take them to the government to await interrogation."
Shen Ningning suddenly added: "Take my token and go with us, otherwise I'm afraid my brother's people will be too busy."
She said, handing over the princess's jade order. After Shen Ningning was promoted to princess, there were 300 guards waiting to be sent to the princess's mansion.
Mo Lingwei glanced at her.
He keenly felt that Shen Ningning arranged for his people to follow him to imprison Jiang Shanglong and others, as if he did not trust him.
However, Mo Lingwei still didn't say anything. He nodded to the guards and let them leave with the jade order.
Lu Shaoyuan was in pain on the sidelines.
"I can't figure out why. Jiang Shanglong is getting older, and his shipping business is gradually declining. As far as I know, his accounts have a lot of losses. At this time, I put money into the account, and it will not hurt him at all. Why did he want to harm me?"
Just as the waiter in the shop brought him hangover soup, Shen Ningning sat next to him and poured him a bowl.
"Maybe he didn't do it, but if we start with him and conduct a thorough investigation, we will definitely be able to find out the clues. Don't worry, drink the sobering soup before talking."
Lu Shaoyuan took the soup bowl and looked at Shen Ningning with bloodshot eyes: "Believe me, I really have never done anything sorry for you."
Shen Ningning nodded: "Of course I believe you."
Lu Shaoyuan would not be such a person. Besides, even if he did it, Shen Ningning would not blame him.
Mo Lingwei stood nearby and saw it. As soon as a strong displeasure rose in his eyes, he forcibly pressed it down.
He turned his head and looked to the side, trying not to look at how they were getting along, so that he could feel calmer inside.
Under Shen Ningning's comfort, Lu Shaoyuan's collapsed mood gradually improved and his thinking became clearer.
Shen Ningning guided him to recall the details of last night.
He only remembered that after Jiang Shanglong left, the shopkeepers took turns drinking with him, so he was extremely drunk.
“I usually drink well, but I didn’t expect to get completely drunk.” Lu Shaoyuan frowned, feeling extremely regretful.
Mo Lingwei sat in a chair nearby and listened calmly, his white and cold face expressionless.
Suddenly, he asked: "You went out to have a party with others and didn't bring your servant?"
Lu Shaoyuan sat up straight: "Yes! I brought my entourage with me, but why are they missing..."
He lowered his head and looked at the soup bowl in his hand.
Hangover soup…
"I remembered! The shopkeepers urged him to go to the kitchen and make me sobering soup."
The servant must have never come back, otherwise he would not have allowed the situation to develop like this.
Hearing this, Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning walked towards the door in tacit agreement, and both of them wanted to go to the backyard to check.
Lu Shaoyuan also hurriedly followed.
The prince's personal guards have surrounded the entire restaurant, and there are also personal guards guarding the backyard.
When Mo Lingwei and the others arrived, several personal guards were guarding the four corners.
Everyone in the restaurant was cleared out. Lu Shaoyuan walked around the kitchen and didn't see his servant.
Shen Ningning looked around, and Mo Lingwei was beside her, wondering: "Did they take the person away?"
Since this group of people wanted to harm Lu Shaoyuan, they would not keep his servant.
Shen Ningning's eyes turned around and landed on the only large water tank in the yard.
She reached out to lift the lid, but Mo Lingwei held her wrist down.
“Don’t scare you, I’ll do it.”
