Chapter 795: Confrontation (1)
Bai Yufang conveniently distracted the attention of the participants from her crimes with these few words and successfully drew their attentions towards the culprit trying to “sabotage” the wedding.
Who was the person least wanted to see the marriage between Gu Yu and Zuo Si? The answer was obvious to everyone present.
As everyone present noticed Xu Weilai entering earlier the venue at the wedding banquet, they were all looking around, searching for her.
Before any of them able to locate Xu Weilai, the LED screen lit up again, but not with another video recording. It was a voice recording instead.
An audio clip of a conversation.
A woman said, “The shares in Grandpa’s hand should have belonged to Gu Yu. But he entrusted them to Gu Xiong instead. How did Auntie Bai make Grandpa Gu sign the share transfer agreement when he was still sober?”
Then, a man replied, “Hypnosis.”
The audio ended with just two lines of conversation exchange.
But those present could recognise Xu Weilai as the woman in the conversation and the uniquely warm voice of the man belonged to Zuo An.
The clarification Bai Yufang made earlier on Grandpa Gu wasn’t being hypnotized backfired the very next second when the audio on the conversation was played. It was certainly breaking news.
Bai Yufang hypnotized Mr. Gu Sr. to get her hand on his shares. It was a serious crime if this was true.
If Zuo An could state that they used hypnotism on Mr. Gu Sr. to get to his shares in Gu Corporation, it would lead to uncovering of Bai Yufang’s relationship with the Zuo family. Did everything she did was for the Zuo family? What was her relationship with the Zuo family, and how was she related to them?
Question after question surfaced in everyone’s minds as they started discussing the conspiracy against the Gu family. All the attentions were on Bai Yufang instead of Xu Weilai.
Bai Yufang’s expression turned slightly ugly. Zuo Si’s expression darkened while gloominess filled CEO Zuo’s eyes. He glanced sharply towards Zuo An, who was sitting down at the side with a poker face.
He had never expected for Zuo An to be blinded by love and revealed such information to Xu Weilai.
Bai Yufang initially had the situation well under control, but Xu Weilai’s backup plan came unexpectedly to her. Bai Yufang knew she would need to explain herself first for the wedding to proceed, else she would be in huge trouble.
Her grip on the microphone tightened, but no anxiousness or guilt reflected on her face. She glanced towards Mr. Gu Sr., who was still seated in his chair in silence.. She blinked, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Everyone knows that Mr. Gu Sr. has always treated me well. He treated me like his own daughter, and I treated him like my father. Our relationship has been really close all these years. I would never do such a thing to hurt him. For the person who thinks you can mislead the public using these videos and recordings and drive a wedge between Mr. Gu Sr. and I, you’re too naïve to think that you will succeed.
“If I really wanted to hurt him, I won’t just hypnotize him, since I can be so close to him. I would make sure that he will never wake up. I could easily cover up for crime that you framed me of then.”
Bau Yufang paused for a moment before she continued, “I, Bai Yufang, am answerable to the public and to my conscience, and to Mr. Gu Sr. Let’s have a confrontation if you have conclusive evidence against me. We shall clear out the doubt. Don’t hide.”
The entire banquet venue fell into silence. No response came from the floor.
Corners of her lips curled up, her expression was unreadable. If no one came forward to confront her, that would mean the accuser had no more tricks up their sleeves.
A voice came from the floor the very next second, “Fine, I’ll confront you.”
