This matter was a scheme planned solely by Liang Tao.
If he himself were to explain it, it would allow Xiao Liu and Bai Ruyan to understand the full truth more directly.
However, Liang Tao didn't follow Wang Chen's lead to speak of his despicable plan, but instead, he refuted with all seriousness:
"I admit that it was my fault for the incident five years ago, it was because of my cowardice and selfish desires that caused Ruyan to suffer in prison for so long.
But for today's matter, it's absolutely not as Brother Wang Chen describes. I simply wanted to invite you to a meal, I definitely had no intention of using Brother Xiao Liu."
"Oh, are you saying I'm wrongly accusing you?" Wang Chen said with a sneer.
Liang Tao nodded with righteous indignation, all the while internally cursing Wang Chen relentlessly.
Wang Chen glanced at him and said to Xiao Liu, "Brother Liu, what reason did Liang Tao give for inviting you to eat?"
