"Brother..."
Lu Youye was somewhat dumbfounded.
He truly did not know that Lu Youming had done so much before, and even discussed these matters with Lu Sheng.
Only now did he realize that despite their vastly different personalities, they were indeed twins born of the same mother, with the same blood coursing through their veins.
He could do crazy things impulsively for his sister, and so could Lu Youming.
Even more, Lu Youming could be crazier than him, and his was a lucid kind of madness. He would rationally plot revenge, leaving no room for the other to maneuver.
To them, Jiang Yusheng was just an uncle with whom they held no emotional ties.
And this uncle, not only did he use their most beloved sister as a tool for slanderous rumors, but he also cursed at her with such filthy, unspeakable words.
Unforgivable.
Once such repulsive words are spoken, they would not let him off the hook.
Even if there was the tiniest blood relation between them, they would not tolerate it. Anyone who hurt their sister must pay the price.

In the neighboring room.
The man who was tied to a chair with rope wound around him three or four times continued to curse relentlessly, while the girl sitting one meter away from him remained unfazed.
As Lu Sheng listened to Jiang Yusheng pouring insults upon her, she was very clear in her mind that every disgusting word he uttered now was only pushing himself closer to doom.
That’s why her heart was undisturbed, and it was only after Jiang Yusheng tired from his curses that she casually lifted her gaze.
"Are you done cursing?"
"You...!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Jiang Yusheng, to see the girl remain so unaffected after he cursed her out, was even more infuriated.
Once he got out, he would definitely drug this little bitch, knock her out and toss her into that park where prostitutes wait for clients.
What happened thereafter would be her own fate – best if she got roundly used by people. This was what that little bastard deserved for daring to do this to him!
"Professor Jiang," said Lu Sheng looking at Jiang Yusheng, "I would advise you to speak more cleanly to me, or else you might regret it later on."
"F**k your mother’s bullsh*t, do you think I need your advice on how to handle things? Let me tell you, you’re finished for messing with me!"
Jiang Yusheng, burning with anger and upon hearing Lu Sheng’s counsel, scoffed coldly, "You little bitch, just say it, what the hell do you want by tying me up?!"
"You’re right, it was indeed me who asked Fourth Brother to knock you out and me who tied you up."
Lu Sheng took responsibility for all the deeds on to herself.
"Seeing your reaction in the restaurant tonight, I suspected you were involved in the matter with Professor Peng."
"As it turns out, my suspicions were correct," Lu Sheng said as she took out Jiang Yusheng’s cell phone.
The moment Jiang Yusheng saw his phone, he inhaled sharply, his eyes bulging with immense hatred as he wanted to kill Lu Sheng: "You..."
"Professor Jiang, I’ve seen the chat records on your phone with Jiang City Daily Journalist Wang."
"It was you who secretly took the photos of me talking with Professor Peng on the street and then gave Journalist Wang three hundred thousand for the slanderous report against Professor Peng."
"All the other so-called leaked screenshots of evidence were also forged by you."
Lu Sheng spoke in a declarative tone.
Jiang Yusheng, realizing all his secretive actions were now laid bare, was nearly driven mad on the spot and roared out loud.
"Lu Sheng! Not only do you dare to knock me out, but you also dare to snoop through my phone?!"
"That’s an invasion of privacy, do you believe that I can call the police right after and have you arrested?!"
In reality, Lu Sheng was also baiting Jiang Yusheng’s words.
Even though she had already posted the screenshots on her Weibo, some people might doubt they were Photoshopped, or argue that the phone wasn’t really Jiang Yusheng’s.
But now, Jiang Yusheng’s immediate reaction was to accuse her of browsing through his phone, which already served as an admission that the phone was his and all Lu Sheng had said was true.
Facing Jiang Yusheng’s furious threats, Lu Sheng remained composed.
"What, are you saying that just because you have my phone, you have all the evidence of my rumor-mongering and defamation?"
"Isn’t that the case?" Lu Sheng asked in return.
"It shows, someone from the countryside remains so, lacking in worldly experience."
Jiang Yusheng looked down on her, his tone full of haughty disdain, "You think with my phone in your hands, gathering all this so-called evidence, you can do something to me?"
"Our Jiang Family is quite prominent in Jiang City, and over the years, the connections I’ve made aren’t for nothing. I have acquaintances everywhere in the judiciary system."
"That Peng Hongyuan only earns a fixed salary and never socializes, he can’t even find a decent lawyer. Do you really think he can win against me in court?"
Jiang Yusheng’s eyes shifted, looking at the young girl in front of him.
"But...while you’ve been speaking up for Peng Hongyuan, you probably don’t actually want to seek justice for him, right?"
"Otherwise, when I passed out just now, you could have directly taken my phone to find Peng Hongyuan. So why are you here tying me up instead?"
"Speak, what is your real motive?"
As if something dawned on him, Jiang Yusheng had a moment of realization as he looked at Lu Sheng.
"I get it now— you want to use what you’ve uncovered to threaten me, asking me for money, right?"
Jiang Yusheng arrogantly said, "How much do you want? Give me a figure, and I’ll give you the money, then you can get lost."
"But if you dare to leak this information or use it to threaten me again in the future, I won’t let you off!"
Jiang Yusheng thought he had seen through everything.
A girl from a poor rural background, even if taken in by the Lu Family, probably hadn’t seen much money. Having finally caught a handle on him, a professor from Beijing University, she would naturally want to make good use of it.
Jiang Yusheng thought to himself that no matter how much money Lu Sheng asked for, he would agree right away.
Once this girl released him from his ties, he wondered how she would dare to act up in front of him. He’d teach her a lesson if she didn’t.
However, to Jiang Yusheng’s surprise, Lu Sheng did indeed have another purpose, but it wasn’t for money.
"You are right, I indeed have something else I want to ask you, Professor Jiang."
Lu Sheng looked up, "Three years ago, Jiang Mengmeng, a 2019 undergraduate student in Medical School at Beijing University, you should still remember that name, shouldn’t you, Professor Jiang?"
