Deep love is also heartless

Chapter 222 Spreading Rumors

In the city of 丏, although the poisoning incident was suppressed and not spread, it involved the four major wealthy families after all, so how many people were watching them? Moreover, someone called the police, so it was impossible to conceal it. Such a big thing could only be concealed from ordinary people.

Therefore, the news about this drugging incident soon spread among the upper class, but there were many different versions of the story. The more the higher-ups tried to conceal it, the more bizarre the stories became.

One version of the story is that Luan Keji fell in love with his friend's girlfriend, and took advantage of being drunk to go to bed with her. He was caught in bed, and his emotional excitement nearly caused sudden myocardial death.

Another version is that the Luan family was dissatisfied with Luan Keji being the president, and in order to sabotage the cooperation, they found an opportunity to drug Luan Keji. The woman who drugged Luan Keji had been poisoned before, and fortunately, both of them received timely treatment when their lives were hanging by a thread.

There were more versions that spread among the people, and it attracted more attention from the people. There were many different opinions at the time, and the rumor spread like wildfire, and it turned out that foreign spies had infiltrated a national research institution and poisoned several scientists who were on a mission, resulting in serious consequences of two deaths and three injuries.

Some so-called patriots, under the banner of patriotism, called on the people to defend the country to the death. As a result, the people were in a panic, thinking that a war was about to break out, and began to snatch food, mineral water, instant noodles, and even salt. Some people even took their pots and pans and ran to the mountains to seek refuge.

Those who were unaware of the situation were busy trying to find out what had happened, and somehow word spread that there had been a major earthquake. The entire city had just experienced a landslide that had been felt throughout the city, so the idea of ​​a major earthquake seemed even more credible. As a result, many people left their families and fled to other cities.

For a while, the entire city was in complete chaos. The police had to arrest several ringleaders. It took a month to finally stabilize social order. However, the social impact of this incident was huge. People were panicked for a long time, and it also caused political turmoil. The mayor resigned.

After the social order stabilized, Meng Chunshan and Li Mei also accepted Qiao Lieque's new roles, and the family lived happily together.

Although the old couple were very happy to have a grandson, they were still worried about Orange.

The New Year was approaching and there was still no news from Orange. The old couple became anxious. Qiao Lieque knew that he could not hide it any longer, so he asked the whole family to sit down and said that he had something to say.

Qiao Lieque did not say that he was the one who smuggled the oranges back. It was not because he did not dare to say it but because he was afraid that the two elders would not be able to accept it. After all, they were old and he was afraid that something might happen to them.

Qiao Lieque wanted the two elders to accept the fact that Orange was missing first, and then talk about the mistakes he had made later. Whether the two elders accepted him or not, he would admit it.

Now Qiao Lieque is not afraid of being scolded by others. He will feel better when someone scolds him.

Qiao Lieque said slowly: "Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, Juzi won't be back soon."

Meng Mancang asked in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with Orange?"

Qiao Lieque didn't say anything right away. He gave them some time to react. When he saw that they were all looking at him expectantly, he said, "Orange is missing."

There were shouts of surprise one after another. Meng Mancang asked with red eyes, "Why did Orange disappear?"

Qiao Lieque said in a hoarse voice: "Juzi returned to China at the end of November. I wanted to spend more time alone with her, so I asked her to come home two days later. We went to the mountains to play, and it happened to be the day when the mountain collapsed a few days ago, and Juzi disappeared."

Several people understood that Orange was probably not missing but dead. Li Mei's blood pressure suddenly soared and she fainted.
