"...I sent the photos to every news company. I can guarantee that this method will be effective. Son, leave this to me. I'll deal with everything. Just find a way to make that woman from the Tang family marry you."
Lu Shen scoffed and a dark expression fell upon his face.
He thought about the fact that in the past few weeks, they were always busy with work and they rarely had time to spend with each other.
In Tang Lin's perspective, Lu Shen was a narcissistic person that confidently showed his love to her. Because of that, she never noticed his insecurities.
He felt the phone in his hand vibrate and took a look. There was a message from Ke Zhenshao on Tang Lin's phone.
"Miss Tang, are you currently at work?"
Lu Shen felt angered when he saw that Ke Zhenshao was keeping tabs on his woman.
Because he wanted to see what this man was up to, Lu Shen replied, "Yes. Why?"
"Oh. It's nothing. I just wanted to see if my sister got you to work safely."
When taking a peek outside, he saw that Tang Lin's car was gone.
"Your sister didn't take me to work."
"Oh really? Well then, who was the person that came out of your house earlier? Was anyone in your house before you left?"
"My fiancée was home."
After a minute, a picture of Lu Shen and Ke Zhenyi sitting in a car together was sent along with a message that said, "I saw CEO Lu together with my sister."
Lu Shen stared at the photoshopped image. Whoever edited the photo was very good at making it look realistic. If Lu Shen was someone else, he would've believed Ke Zhenshao, too.
The man gripped the phone tightly and typed, "There's a meeting with the three companies taking place tomorrow at Lu Group to discuss about the project. Tell me more about this after the meeting ends."
"Alright, Miss Tang. Please be prepared for an unwanted situation."
Lu Shen turned the phone off and grabbed his jacket. He got into his car and headed over to the Tang family's mall, Tang Elegance, where Tang Lin's jewelry shop was.
...
Meanwhile, Tang Lin was just getting out of the VIP parking lot when a person came and started to curse at her.
"You sl*t!! After what you did to CEO Lu, you deserve to go to hell! How dare you do that!"
The security guards near the entrance ran over immediately when she was about to use violence and restrained the woman.
Tang Lin became even more worried about this situation than before. She walked swiftly inside and took the elevator.
When seeing her jewelry shop vandalized and in ruins, she was calm on the outside, but she was boiling in anger in the inside.
The beat up manager was standing outside the shop and it looked like he had just cried. After seeing his boss, he ran over.
"Boss, I couldn't stop them! There were too much of them! They stole all of our jewelry and wrecked the place!"
Tang Lin noticed that none of her other employees were there. They must've ran away from the situation and thought of themselves rather than the shop. None of them even called security!
The shop manager slumped on the ground.
"I'm useless!"
Tang Lin held the young man's arm and pulled him up.
"This is not the time to be weak and discouraged. I'm not worried about the shop. I'm only concerned about who did this. You did good, Qin Zhao."
She heard shouting coming from a distance behind her.
A group of rich socialites were walking towards her and they were staring at her with as much intensity as laser beams. Their eyes were filled with disgust.
"Sh*t... more people?" Tang Lin turned to look at them. "May I ask why you are all here?" She put on a cold expression.
The lady in front scoffed and said, "Because you cheated on our Shen! We are getting revenge for him!"
Tang Lin smirked. "Do you know that you are tarnishing his reputation by doing this? 'CEO of Lu Group Uses Fans to Beat Up His Fiancée'. Do you think that headline will benefit him? And how do you know if I cheated on him? Just because of a newspaper?"
"You're saying this to protect yourself! We won't fall for your tricks!"
The lady raised her hand to slap Tang Lin across the face, but when she saw who came in front of her, she immediately retracted her hand.
The group felt more guilty as Lu Shen put them in the pressure of his cold stare.
"Do you think a woman in your place is able to offend my fiancée and I unscathed?"
The woman heard him say "fiancée" and assumed the newspaper was false.
"I'm sorry, CEO Lu. There must be a misunderstanding. We'll be going now."
She led her group away and the couple was left alone. The manager went to look for the CCTV in the back room of the jewelry shop.
Tang Lin held his hand.
"You know I can defend myself, right?"
"Yeah, but I'm afraid I'll have to deal with covering up a murder."
She laughed and said, "Even if I murdered someone, I'm smart enough to cover it up without any traces left behind."
When he thought about the night when Tang Lin threatened the paparazzi, he really believed her.
"Boss! I got the CCTV from earlier!" Qin Zhao came running from the shop with his phone in his hand.
He played the footage on his phone and the three watched silently.
In the video, a group of men wearing black suits busted into the shop with bats and bags with their hands. They made everything turn to ruins and emptied the glass boxes full of expensive jewelries.
Tang Lin noticed the logo on the front pocket of their suits.
She took the phone from Qin Zhao's hand. Then, she paused the video and showed it to Lu Shen with a cold expression on her face.
"Why is the Lu Group logo on these people's suits?"
