Both witnesses and evidence were present. Shi Shi was sentenced to jail. On the other hand, Father Shi called her a stupid fool. But he spent the entire night trying to rescue her through his connections. Shi Shi's mother had passed away. Her step-mother wasn't a nice person either. She was already displeased with Shi Shi spending money like water and acting condescending in front of people. She had no manners at all. Hearing her husband trying to please people in order to beg them to help, she couldn't help but pour cold water on him and say, "If it were up to me, I think it's better if she stays in jail for a few years. That way, she can reflect upon herself! You won't need to spend all this money on her."

"Can't you talk like a human being?!" Father Shi had been worried constantly and extremely busy, trying to deal with this matter. Upon hearing her words, he angrily scolded her.

"If I'm not talking like a human being, how could you even understand my words?" She sneered. "Do you not know how your daughter acts like? If she could hire people to murder someone, who knows if she might hire someone to murder me one day if she dislikes me. Of course, maybe she will become a lunatic and hire someone to murder her own father as well!"

"Shut up!"

"I won't! Why don't you think about it? Do you know who she was trying to kill? Lu/Bai and Zhan Family. She implicated four people. Are they even people she could touch? Heh. This time, she was lucky that she wasn't dead. If Lu Bai really wanted to take revenge, do you think we would still be alive? Do you think you could stand here and make calls? You should be satisfied!" Once she finished, she didn't even look at Father Shi. She walked off.

Shi Family will probably meet its end sooner or later. Her words made Father Shi calm down. More or less, he knew that this was just a fruitless effort. But she was his daughter. No matter what, he couldn't just watch her go to jail without trying to rescue her.

He knew that since Lu Bai personally sent her to jail, despite throwing the entire family's fortunes in to save her, it was impossible. He bowed down and dejectedly stood there. In the end, he called Lu Bai and requested to meet him.

Lu Bai naturally didn't have time to see him. When Assistant Wang mentioned this, Lu Bai replied, "no" without looking up from his work. He added, "If he called again, tell him that Shi Shi got what she deserved. I was already being merciful. If she doesn't behave, don't blame me for destroying her."

Assistant Wang remembered his words.

Lu Bai paused and asked, "What's the situation in jail?"

"There aren't any issues. But besides President Shi who came to visit Shi Shi, Miss Chu Hua and Miss Lai went as well."

"Hm?" Lu Bai's gaze deepened. It seems like Chu Hua has a pretty good relationship with Shi Shi.

Miss Lai went to visit Shi Shi purely to hit her while she was down. In the past, she had suffered because of Shi Shi. Because of that, she wasn't that close to her anymore and stopped talking to her. Her impression of her changed when she went to question Shi Shi as to why she gave her a rotten idea. Shi Shi had mocked her and said, "You don't have any abilities so you wanted to blame this on me!? With an IQ like yours, how do you expect to climb on Lu Bai's bed? Why don't you look in the mirror and take a look for yourself? Plus, why would you act according to my words?! You're such a fool!"

As a child, Miss Lai had never been humiliated like this before. She clenched her teeth and glared at Shi Shi, "Stop acting so proud! I can't have Lu Bai but it's the same for you! Don't think that I don't know you're going after Lu Bai as well! Humph. We're about the same. You're not any smarter than I am!"

Shi Shi replied in disdain, "Just watch and see."

When Miss Lai thought of this, she couldn't help but smile pleasingly. When Shi Shi said "just watch and see," who would've knew it was this scene?
