Chapter 794: Being Deceived
Deputy Director Li, accompanied by his men, arrived at Lou Bancheng's house in a menacing manner. However, upon arrival, Deputy Director Li sensed something amiss and frowned slightly. The scene before him at Lou Bancheng's house was utterly desolate, as quiet as an abandoned, empty city.
This kind of desolation was filled with an indescribable weirdness. You know, although Lou Bancheng could not be called the richest man in the city, he was still a wealthy man with a large number of guests coming and going on weekdays. It shouldn't be like this now.
Xu Damao wasn't as meticulous as Deputy Director Li. He was only focused on making a contribution. His eyes were fixed on the Lou family's gate. He couldn't wait to say, "Deputy Director Li, let's not waste time here. Let's go over there quickly! We'll go in and catch them red-handed. Then we'll see what Lou Bancheng has to say."
At that moment, Lou Xiao'e happened to pass by, strolling leisurely. Actually, it wasn't just a coincidence; someone had already brought Lou Xiao'e the news of Deputy Director Li and his men's departure. Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e felt a surge of mixed emotions: anger and curiosity. She simply wanted to see what Xu Damao, with his hideous face, could accomplish.
Xu Damao spotted Lou Xiao'e and his eager steps stopped in their tracks. His eyes flickered as a sinister idea came to mind: he planned to tease Lou Xiao'e before going in to arrest her. But before he could say anything, Lou Xiao'e had already taken the initiative, staring directly at Xu Damao and coldly asking, "Xu Damao, what are you trying to do by bringing such a group of people to my doorstep?"
Xu Damao was slightly intimidated by Lou Xiao'e's aura, but he quickly recovered. He straightened his back, looked at Lou Xiao'e with a haughty expression, and said, "Lou Xiao'e, don't be so arrogant to me. Your family is a capitalist, and the country is cracking down on you, the exploiting class. We're here to bring you down today. If you know what's good for you, tell your father to hand over all those shameful things right now, and maybe you'll get a lighter sentence."
Listening to Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e's anger suddenly rose. How could she not know the behavior of Xu Damao, this villain? But when she thought about how her father had been kind to Xu Damao and had taken care of him in work and life, and in return, he had been betrayed by Xu Damao so cruelly, she suddenly felt murderous and wanted to kill Xu Damao on the spot to relieve the hatred in her heart. But she still suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. Then, she looked at Xu Damao with a mocking smile on her lips, and said word by word: "Xu Damao, you must have evidence when you speak and do things. You can't just talk nonsense here. These words you said have no other effect except to make people stink. If you can't produce real evidence, don't embarrass yourself here." Lou Xiao'e's eyes were full of contempt, as if she was looking at a jumping clown.
Xu Damao stared at Lou Xiaoe with a sharp gaze, a twisted and smug smile on his face, as if he had already won. He said coldly: "You really won't cry until you see the coffin! Today, I will let you see how I, Xu Damao, deal with your family!" His voice was full of the pleasure of revenge.
Deputy Director Li, who was standing in the back, frowned impatiently and looked at Xu Damao and scolded him, "Xu Damao, what are you talking about? Go get down to business! I don't have time to listen to your rambling!"
Xu Damao hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying in a fawning manner, "Deputy Director Li, I'll be right there." Then he turned around and glared at Lou Xiaoe fiercely, continuing to curse, "It's too late! Even if you admit your mistake now, it's too late! Look at you, you've been married to me for so long, and you can't even give me a child, and you put all the blame on me. Who the hell do you think you are?"
Lou Xiao'e stared back at Xu Damao fearlessly, her lips curled up slightly as she sneered and said disdainfully, "You ungrateful villain! If it weren't for my family's support, would you have achieved the status you have today? You still have the nerve to talk here? Don't you even consider your own moral character?" Then, she added casually, "Alas, if I continue to quibble with a family with no one left, it would make me, Lou Xiao'e, look narrow-minded."
Lou Xiao'e's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Xu Damao's heart. You know, ever since his divorce from Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao has always had a knot in his heart, so he secretly went to the hospital for a check-up. The final result was like a bolt from the blue. It was indeed a problem with his body that made it difficult for him to conceive. At this moment, Lou Xiao'e punctured this window paper in public, Xu Damao's face flushed and whitened. Although he was speechless for a moment, he secretly made up his mind that after this matter was over, he must find a reliable person to take a good look at the disease. Maybe it could be cured.
Xu Damao's mind was completely consumed by money. Thinking of all the valuables in Lou Bancheng's house, he couldn't wait to rush to his door. His eyes blazed red, and like an enraged bull, he pounded on the door, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Lou Bancheng, get out!" Even then, he glanced triumphantly at Lou Xiao'e, as if to show off that he could finally hold his head high and give the Lou family a proper beating. He was determined to show her how he'd vent his anger.
Lou Xiao'e, however, remained calm and didn't take Xu Damao's actions to heart at all. She knew in her heart that everything had been arranged and ready, and they were just waiting for this ignorant Xu Damao to jump into the trap.
After a while, the Lou family's nanny heard the noise and came over to open the door. Xu Damao recognized her immediately and asked angrily, "Where's Lou Bancheng? Tell Lou Bancheng to come out!"
The nanny looked at Xu Damao, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, and said calmly: "He left a long time ago. Aren't you the son-in-law of the Lou family? How come you don't even know this?"
Xu Damao was so angry at the nanny's attitude that he was about to open his mouth to refute when Deputy Director Li came over with a frown and urged, "What's the matter? Why don't you go in?" After saying that, he didn't give Xu Damao a chance to explain. He waved his hand and led his men into the Lou family.
Xu Damao had a vague feeling something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He figured Lou Bancheng wouldn't abandon his family, so he could just leave. So, he followed Deputy Director Li into Lou's house.
