I approved Liu Jun's leave request, but it was not an act of letting the tiger return to the mountain.
I secretly dispatched someone to follow him, keeping track of his every move.
A few days later, the tenth anniversary celebration of the Family Business arrived.
Luo Fu came early to report that everything was ready.
The venue was bustling with guests, lively and vibrant.
I attended in splendid attire, which made me look radiant.
Officials from Construction Bureau were also invited; their expressions varied, a mix of curiosity and unease.
I spotted Liu Jun hiding behind Chief Inspector.
His face was pale, and his eyes darted around, clearly filled with guilt.
Chief Inspector pretended to be calm, but the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed his tension.
Luo Fu took the stage as the representative of the Imperial Merchant to deliver a speech. He reflected on the development of the Family Business over the past decade and expressed gratitude for the support from various sectors.
His tone was steady yet laden with meaning.
"Ten years of storms and ten years of brilliance," Luo Fu's voice echoed in the banquet hall. "In these ten years, we have weathered many trials and witnessed countless miracles."
He paused, scanning the crowd. "But at the same time, we have suffered unjust accusations and faced inexplicable oppression."
His words were profound, sparking murmurs among the guests.
Chief Inspector and Liu Jun's faces grew even darker.
Luo Fu's gaze fell upon me, filled with affection and encouragement.
He extended his hand, inviting me to dance a tune together.
As the melodious music played, I danced gracefully with Luo Fu.
"Is everything ready?" I whispered in Luo Fu's ear.
"All is set, we just need the right moment," a glint of determination sparkled in Luo Fu's eyes. "Today, we will reveal the truth to the world!"
As the song came to an end, I took the microphone and surveyed the entire room.
"Today, in addition to celebrating the tenth anniversary of Family Business," my voice rang clear and firm, "I also want to expose a long-hidden secret!"
My words echoed like thunder in the banquet hall.
Gasps filled the air as everyone turned their attention to me.
The faces of Chief Inspector and Liu Jun turned pale instantly.
"In fact," I paused, locking my gaze on Chief Inspector, "I am not the adopted son of the Luo family."
My declaration caused another wave of shock.
"My true identity," my voice was resolute, "is that I am the daughter of Lu Wenbo, a former official of the Ministry of Works, who was framed by Chief Inspector!"
Chief Inspector's face turned ashen, his lips trembled but he could not utter a word.
I pulled out a stack of documents from my sleeve and held them high.
"These," my tone was icy, "are all evidence of Chief Inspector's corruption and bribery!"
I displayed each piece of evidence one by one, every word striking like a sword, piercing through Chief Inspector's facade.
I laid bare how Chief Inspector had framed my father, how he had engaged in corruption and bribery, and how he had falsely accused others.
The evidence was irrefutable and left no room for denial.
Family Business simultaneously sent a legal letter to the Construction Bureau, detailing violations and evidence while demanding substantial compensation.
Chief Inspector was left speechless, ultimately ending up behind bars.
Liu Jun, sensing the danger, had long since fled.
Former colleagues were shocked and quickly distanced themselves from Chief Inspector.
As I looked into Chief Inspector's desperate eyes, I felt not an ounce of pity.
This was the fate he deserved.
I had finally cleared my father's name and completed my plan for revenge.
Taking a deep breath, a sense of relief washed over me.
But I understood that this was merely the beginning.
The darkness of the political arena was far more complex than I had imagined.
The road ahead would be long.
The celebration ultimately concluded with Chief Inspector's arrest.
Liu Jun remained missing.
I stood among the crowd, watching the guests whispering to one another, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
