Lu Si averted his gaze. “It’s nothing. Let’s get to the point.”

The police had interrogated Huang Rui and others in the past few days, but these individuals were experienced in dealing with law enforcement and hadn’t revealed any useful information.

However, a significant amount of cash had been found in their residences, and the police were currently investigating the source of this money.

“After you left the club, Lu Ming went back to his office, but someone claiming to be Huang Rui’s relative has just arrived at the police station. They want to see Huang Rui and persuade him to confess to the police.”

“Lu Ming is indeed cunning. He doesn’t show up and finds someone else to be a scapegoat in this muddy water,” Mei Shu said with a smirk. “Since he’s acting so quickly, we can probably expect results by tomorrow.”

“Right.” Lu Si lifted his eyelids slightly. “The key is how you can restore your reputation.”

Starting with Huang Rui and tracing it back to Wang Yue wouldn’t be difficult, but the impact of this incident was immeasurable.

Even though she had proven that the video was fake, anyone with that video stored on their phones would still involuntarily treat it as real. In the quiet of the night, who knew what dirty thoughts they might have while looking at the woman in that video.

Lu Si couldn’t stand the thought of those men watching that video alone at night and fantasizing about Mei Shu’s body. He wanted to smash all their electronic devices!

Mei Shu gave him a reassuring look;she had a plan for this situation.

The techniques she had learned from Teacher F would come in handy.

Wen Miao, on the other hand, was bewildered and couldn’t help but interrupt their conversation. “Who are you talking about? Huang Rui and Lu Ming? Who are they?”

“Huang Rui is just a small-time thug, and Lu Ming is an acquaintance,” Mei Shu replied with a mischievous smile. “Lu Ming is also Li Zhen’s uncle.”

“Oh! Lu Ming is the so-called detective uncle that Li Zhen mentioned!” Wen Miao’s anger flared up as she mentioned this. “Because of that so-called uncle, Li Zhen insisted in front of the whole class that the woman in that video was you! He even said that his uncle, a well-known detective in Lin City, had verified the video and it couldn’t be wrong. Disgusting!”

Wen Miao disdainfully muttered, “So, from what you just said, his uncle was really involved? 1 knew Li Zhen wasn’t a good guy! Fooling around with various girls, flirting with them, relying on his somewhat decent looks to harass young girls everywhere. He always compared himself to the academic genius Lu Yan. I’ve disliked him for a long time!”

Lu Si agreed, flashing a smile but quickly suppressing it. “Do you plan to let Lu Ming off so easily?”

“What? Mei Shu, are you letting him go? Why should you? He has caused you so much harm, and we must make him pay!” Wen Miao slammed her hand on the table, filled with righteous anger.

Mei Shu quickly reassured her, “I won’t let him off. Such a scoundrel doesn’t deserve my forgiveness. I just happened to receive a substantial compensation from him today, so I thought of being generous and giving him a few more days of freedom.”

“What do you mean? Did he compensate you? How much did he give you?” Wen Miao was worried that the amount might be too low to make up for Mei Shu’s loss. In her view, a girl’s innocence was more valuable than any amount of money. But since the incident had already occurred, having financial compensation was better than nothing.

However, she couldn’t have imagined that Mei Shu would receive so much money from Lu Ming.

“Five million.”

“Five million?” Wen Miao exclaimed in shock, immediately drawing the attention of the people around them.

She hurriedly covered her mouth, and when the others returned to their meals, she whispered, “So much? Then, couldn’t you just live a carefree life and not have to work anymore?”

“Although this money is all for me, 1 don’t plan to use it for myself.” Mei Shu didn’t tell her that the money was actually obtained through extortion.

This girl was easily startled and jumpy, and Mei Shu was afraid that she might blurt out the truth inadvertently. She didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention.

Wen Miao was puzzled and asked, “Then who do you want to use it for?”

“I’ve done some research. Since marrying into a well-connected family, Lu Ming has made connections with several prominent individuals. Over the years, posing as a detective, he has done many unjust things. I want to use this money as compensation for those who have been harmed by him.”

This statement not only surprised Wen Miao but also made Lu Si and Jiang He look at her with newfound respect.

They had never imagined that she would have such a broad-minded perspective.

No wonder she had gone to great lengths to obtain evidence of Lu Ming’s infidelity; she had a plan in mind all along.

Wen Miao was now in complete admiration. “Shu’er, you’re so kind. I really like you. If you weren’t a girl, I’d want to marry you! You’re truly amazing!”

“Ahem.” Lu Si cleared his throat, interrupting the starry-eyed girl. He draped his arm over the back of Mei Shu’s chair, but for some reason, he refrained from touching her body..
