Chapter 332: The whole situation

Chapter 332: The whole situation

Lu Chen knew He Tao spiked the coffee the moment he placed it in front of his face. There were two things Duan Cheng had told him; 

One was the recording he had for Cao Wei, and the other was how he asked Duan Cheng for some poison. The poison wasn't an ordinary one. Consuming it would mean a quick death. 

When Lu Chen heard that, a thought came into his mind.

'When is he going to use it?' Lu Chen figured that since his first plan screwed up, Cao Wei would use the second plan.

But never did he expect Cao Wei to do it the next day! Just He Tao bringing him coffee alone was something so suspicious. 

"..." He Tao stay silent.

"So tell me; If I call the police over here and have some people examine the coffee, how much time are you going to be in prison?" Knowing what's in it, it's clear that He Tao will be thrown in jail for a lifetime. 

"Are you going to help me, or are you going to jail?" Lu Chen smiles. It's clear what option He Tao should choose. 

Contrary to what Lu Chen thought, He Tao shouts, 

"Just throw me in jail. I'm not going to help you sell out my benefactor." He Tao wasn't going to betray Cao Wei. He refuses to do it.

"Benefactor? Is it because he picked you out of the gutter?" Lu Chen's tone was condescending as he said it. But he was surprised by how loyal He Tao was to Cao Wei. 

Now knowing this, Lu Chen understands that he has to go with a different approach against him.

"...How did you find out?!" He Tao didn't expect this. He thought Cao Wei had hidden his identity to the point that nobody could find it. 

"I found out a lot about you. I found out that your company went bankrupt. All of your possessions were taken away and you were forced to live on the streets." He Tao was the CEO of his own company.

It wasn't famous or anything. But it was enough. But out of nowhere, the company filed for bankruptcy. Nothing else needed to be said as Lu Chen understood what happened next. 

"Then you should understand why I will not abandon him." To He Tao, Cao Wei was his savior. After his company went into bankruptcy, he went into a state of depression.

Everything was gone. All He Tao had left was some torn-up clothes. He thought his life was over.

But then, 

"Do you want a second chance?" Cao Wei was in front of him, giving him a second chance. At first, He Tao didn't know what to say. 

But he knew he had to take the chance. 

And it was worth it. 

He Tao had gotten back to where he was because of Cao Wei. He picked him up at his lowest point and gave him a second chance. 

No matter how much Cao Wei had changed, he could never turn against him.

But then, Lu Chen starts to chuckle.

He Tao's face turns tense, "What's so funny?" Seeing how he was laughing, it was pretty infuriating. 

"Nothing, nothing. It's just funny to see how you're grateful to the person who caused everything."

"...What do you mean?" He Tao scowls at Lu Chen.

"I can't believe you are so dense about this. Have you not checked what happened to your company?"Lu Chen shakes his head. The information Elder Wu found out was interesting. 

"..." He Teo never checked. He had been too focused on supporting Cao Wei to check up on what happened. What happened in the past was something he didn't want to remember. 

That was what he thought.

"Here, take a look at this." Lu Chen shakes his head at how dense He Tao is. He takes out a couple of files and slides them to He Tao. 

He Tao looks at the folders. But the next second, he threw the folders right back at Lu Chen!

"That's impossible! All of this is bullshit!" He Tao went into a fit of rage! However, Lu Chen continues to shake his head, 

"What's on the files are all true. The person who bankrupted your company was none other than the person who saved you."
