Chapter 777
But he didn't know that sometimes the answer was like a sharpened knife that would cut him and make him bleed.
Lu Mian smiled faintly at him, "How could someone as smart as the Second Young Master not be able to figure out the reason?"
"So you admit that you tampered with the apple?" Di Tao glared at him fiercely.
Lu Mian shrugged harmlessly. "Did I admit it? Is the Second Young Master so upset that he's rushing to convict me? But this crime can't be convicted just because you want to. After all, the fingerprint on the apple is yours."
"In the end, it's all Second Young Master's fault. If you hadn't been so cruel and wanted to frame the young lady, how could you have been retaliated against?
Well, considering you've been in the Di family for so many years, I'll give you a piece of advice: don't think about things you shouldn't, and don't covet things that don't belong to you. Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing. I'm afraid you can't stand this kind of stimulation."
"Lu Mian..."
Di Tao felt sorely touched by him, his face instantly turned gloomy. He grabbed the man's collar with his big hand and dragged him to the blind spot of the surveillance camera, his gloomy black eyes filled with cruelty.
It's all in vain. What right does he have to say that to him?
Does he understand how much Di Tao has contributed to the Di family over the years?
Lu Mian was strangled by his collar, his breathing was restricted, and his old face was abnormally flushed, but he smiled awkwardly.
"Second Young Master, even if you want to kill me, you wouldn't be so stupid as to attack the Di family. This is not like you who always plans everything."
"Don't give me any fucking shit. Let me ask you, what's going on with that apple?"
All his plans were in vain, Di Tao could not accept such a result, so he wanted Lu Mian to say it in person, so that he would not be caught off guard against this old man next time.
"You still don't understand? No way, Second Young Master, you don't look that stupid. It's actually very simple. I know there are young lady's fingerprints on the apple that smashed the tablet, and I also know that you bribed the identification team."
"Since the team was bribed by you and the apple has the young lady's fingerprints, why not just replace the apple? So, you only guessed that I might switch the identification results like you did, but you didn't expect that I would replace the apple, right?
In this case, let alone a second identification, even if it's identified twenty times, your fingerprint will still be on it. The devil is always stronger than the good. Second Young Master, I'm sorry, but I beat you in this round."
After Lu Mian finished speaking, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing full of pride and provocation.
Di Tao was so angry that veins popped out of his face. He stared at him with a pair of scarlet eyes, and a murderous look rose in his eyes. He grabbed his collar with his big hand and used force, wishing he could strangle him to death on the spot.
Plotting against him? Di Guanwei had never done that to him, but he dared to do it.
"Uh!"
His collar was tightly grasped, and the oxygen in Lu Mian's nose was getting less and less, but he still smiled at Di Tao.
He laughed so proudly, so wildly, and almost made Di Tao lose his mind.
"Second Young Master, calm down and don't bother him." Qiu Tai's voice suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, Di Tao's frantic consciousness was pulled back. Seeing that Lu Mian's face was brown from being squeezed, he quickly let go and said, "Let's go."
PARKING LOT.
As soon as Di Tao entered, he angrily smashed the car window, with horror clearly on his face.
Qiu Tai turned his head and saw his stern face full of anger. He said coldly, "Second Young Master, do you want me to kill Lu Mian?"
He was just an old man, and with his skills he could easily deal with him.
"Don't act rashly." Di Tao pinched his temple and said coldly.
Qiu Tai gritted his teeth in hatred, "Then your fight this time was in vain? That old man dared to plot against you. I think he is seeking death."
"It's true that you're looking for death, but we only have one chance to do it in the Di family, and Lu Mian's life is not worth the loss of a big one for me."
"But if we don't teach him a lesson this time, I'm worried he'll become even more rampant in the future."
Di Tao sneered, "Arrogant? Then find something to stop him from being arrogant."
Qiu Tai immediately understood, "What does the Second Young Master mean?"
"Well, go ahead and do it. If you can't do it openly, can you do it secretly?"
Lu Mian, I will let you know that going against me is the most unwise thing you can do.

evening.
Di Guanwei rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the news that Mo Lan had woken up.
The ward was cold and quiet. When he pushed the door open, three-year-old Mo Lan was sitting on the bed, looking at something on a tablet.
The little girl looks well-behaved and docile, but her two delicate eyebrows are sometimes wrinkled and sometimes loose, which shows that something is wrong.
Seeing him appear, the little girl raised her tender face and said in a calm voice, "Grandpa."
Di Guanwei nodded, his usually stern and low tone softening rarely. "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Mo Lan is fine. I'm sorry for making Grandpa worry." The little girl's tone was unnaturally flat, without any of the liveliness and vigor that belonged to her age.
"What are you looking at?" Di Guanwei asked deliberately when he saw her holding a tablet.
Mo Lan pursed his lips, tightened his grip on the tablet with his fingers where Di Guanwei couldn't see, raised his dim eyes and looked directly at him, his voice crisp, "Grandpa, do you believe in Mo Lan?"
The internet is now flooded with news about the fire at the Di family ancestral hall, and many people are pointing directly at her as the one who set the fire. The reason is simple: she was dissatisfied with her great-grandfather's punishment of kneeling.
Di Guanwei did not answer her, but looked down at her with his hawk-like eyes, revealing a bit of fierceness.
He didn't want to condemn her as soon as he entered the ward, but since she brought it up first, she had to give him an explanation.
"Mo Lan, tell me honestly, Grandfather, have you disturbed the incense in the ancestral hall?"
"No." The little girl replied almost without thinking.
Di Guanwei narrowed his eyes. "Then why are there Mo Lan's fingerprints on the incense? Girl, Grandpa hates people who tell lies the most. If you did it, Great Grandpa hopes you will admit it."
"Grandfather, Mo Lan passed out when the ancestral hall caught fire, so it's too hasty to convict him based solely on fingerprints on the incense. Mo Lan knows he can't defend himself, but he feels someone took advantage of his unconsciousness to deliberately frame him. I hope Grandfather will investigate."
"There were only you and your grandfather in the ancestral hall at that time. Do you mean that your grandfather framed you?" Di Guanwei said in a deep voice.
Mo Lan was shocked. "What? Little Grandpa? That's impossible. Little Grandpa is very kind to Mo Lan. There's no reason for him to harm Mo Lan. There must be something strange about this."
Di Guanwei's eyelids twitched: This silly girl trusts Di Tao so much?
