“Miss Qiao, in Ah Zheng’s heart, you’re everything to him. If he loses you one day, I can’t imagine what will happen.”

Qiao Xi slowly turned around and looked at the man not far behind her who had been following her. He was standing in a corner with deep eyes that had a trace of redness in them. This trace of panic was unusual on the normally indifferent and cold Gu Zheng.

“Don’t be sad. These women have all been saved. The kidnappers have also confessed who the mastermind is. This time, the Tang family is completely ruined. Moreover, this matter involves a lot. The Tang family isn’t the only one who’ll be unlucky,” Ye Qingyuan said softly.

…

At this moment, those women were all sent to the hospital. After a deeper investigation, the police found out that the Tang family had done more than just human trafficking in the abandoned warehouse. They had also done many other illegal things. There were also other reputable businessmen in high society involved in this matter.

The Tang family was finally in big trouble this time. Not only had they hurt many innocent women, but they had also kidnapped Mrs. Gu. Hence, Gu Zheng said that the police had to find out the truth no matter what. The police immediately gathered evidence and soon produced an arrest warrant.

Qiao Xi returned to the police station to make a statement. When she left the police station, it was already the afternoon.

Everyone in the police station was so busy that they did not even have time to eat lunch. The policewoman who was taking Qiao Xi’s statement said helplessly, “It just so happens that Tang Ruge is attending an award ceremony today. That kind of person is actually the winner of Planet Music Festival. How ridiculous!”

A colleague at the side snorted. “The Tang family has earned so much money through illegal channels. Having their daughter become a musician isn’t something difficult for them. However, everything they have now was obtained by hurting others. They definitely won’t have a good outcome.”

Qiao Xi’s gaze was filled with coldness. Now that things had come to this, it was time for her to end things with Tang Ruge. It was not only for herself but also for those women who had been harmed by the Tang family.

In the afternoon, the award ceremony began. Reporters rushed in one after another. The award ceremony was broadcasted live. At this moment, many people were tuning in to the live broadcast. The netizens also wanted to see what the gold award winner, Miss Fu Sheng, looked like.

Tang Ruge was wearing an ink-colored muslin dress. Her long hair was tied up with a hairpin, and she exuded a scholarly aura. She walked over elegantly and smiled at the camera.

Madam Tang stood in the middle of the group of noblewomen and said proudly, “I’m not bragging, but our Ruge has been especially obedient since she was young. When she grew up, she became even more diligent and studious. I just didn’t expect her to be so talented in music. She won a gold medal in her first music competition. She must have gotten lucky!”

Many noblewomen hurriedly echoed, “Madam Tang, you’re really too humble. Ruge won the award with her own ability. Your daughter is really too outstanding. I’m so envious. If my brat was even half as good as Ruge, I wouldn’t have to worry all day.”

Madam Tang looked proud and trembled with excitement. She turned around and said in a low voice, “Ruge, you have to perform well later. You have to let everyone see how outstanding our Tang family is.”

Not only was her daughter the top socialite in the capital, but she was also the winner of Planet Music Festival. She was also the pride of the Tang family.

After Madam Tang married into the Tang family, she had been living in the shadow of Tang Yan and his wife. Tang Yan was the head of the family, and he had the final say in the Tang family. After Tang Yan died, she could gradually raise her head.

Seeing the people around her praising her, Madam Tang raised her head proudly. “Ruge, after the award ceremony ends, I’ll hold a celebration banquet for you at home. We’ll invite our relatives and friends to gather.”

Tang Ruge smiled and nodded. “Mom, there’s no need. It’s just an award. There’s no need to be so ostentatious.”

“How is this considered ostentatious? This is the gold award for Planet Music Festival we’re talking about! It’s an achievement that many people dream of!” Madam Tang deliberately raised her voice.

“You’re just too humble. If someone else had won the award, they would’ve spread the news to the entire Li City. But you, on the other hand, refused to even tell your parents! You’ve been outstanding since you were young, so you don’t think much of winning the award.”

Hearing Madam Tang’s words, the people in the live-stream also praised Tang Ruge. Who did not like humble and talented people? Moreover, Tang Ruge came from a good family and had an outstanding temperament. She was simply too perfect.

Suddenly, Madam Tang’s gaze landed on the crowd. She said unhappily, “Who invited them?!”
