Chapter 1179: Chapter 1178: Execution by Shooting

After Lu Da hung up the phone, he finally couldn’t contain his announcement, “It worked, Shufen was right after all, she was really spared.”

“Hahaha… it seems that Wei Shufen knows Tang Qian the best!”

Lu Family’s eldest sister-in-law said disdainfully, “This Tang Qian is really brainless, no wonder she’s been played like a monkey by Wei Shufen all her life.”

“Hahaha… if it weren’t for Tang Qian being brainless, our Lu Family would not have such limitless glory.” Zhang Yang, the eldest of the Lu Family, slapped his thigh as if he had already seen the scene where the Lu Family would once again trample everyone underfoot.

Lu Da also smiled and chimed in, “You’re right, you’re absolutely right. It probably won’t be long before you can get your job back.”

As everyone was laughing triumphantly, the living room phone rang again. This time, Lu Da had no reservations and wanted everyone to hear the good news, so he hit the speakerphone button directly.

“Hello, may I speak to Lu Da?” A strange, serious voice came through.

“Hello, I am,” Lu Da replied arrogantly.

“This is the Suburban Special Prison, we are officially notifying you that the criminal Wei Shufen has been executed by firing squad at seven o’clock this year, please have the family come to claim the body.”

Boom–

The living room fell suddenly silent; the pride that everyone had just shown hadn’t had time to fade before it was abruptly frozen.

Lu Da stared with his eyes wide open, never having expected to hear this news.

“It’s impossible! It can’t be, absolutely not,” he said in a panic. “Wei Shufen is Minister Wei’s sister, how could she be executed by firing squad so suddenly?”

The person on the other end of the line was clearly very dissatisfied with Lu Da’s words and said indifferently, “No matter who it is, if they commit a crime, it will be executed.” With that, the person didn’t bother with further words and hung up the phone.

The Lu Family’s living room fell into a silence as deep as death, a stark contrast to the previous moment.

“How, how… how is this possible?”

“It must be Wei Fangyi, he must have personally ordered it…”

This statement was like the fuse lighting the gunpowder, plunging the entire Lu Family into panic and despair.

Lu Da could no longer sit still; he immediately knelt on the ground, saying in despair, “It’s over, the Lu Family is completely… finished!”

Lu Family’s eldest brother, with eyes red with rage, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Da by the collar, lifting him up, and roared hysterically, “Lu Da, explain yourself, didn’t you say everything was fine? Didn’t you say that as long as Wei An and Lu Dongxin could return to the Wei Family, everything would be over? What is going on now? Ah!”

Lu Da was completely dumbfounded and took several shakes by his brother before he gradually came to his senses. He muttered, “It’s over, now we’re completely finished… we’ve lost everything, we’re all going to be unlucky.”

He only knew that Wei Fangyi was truly enraged, and now the raging fury was awaiting an outlet.

Everything had passed, so why this sudden change?

This shouldn’t be happening!

If he didn’t want to show any mercy, he wouldn’t have waited two months later; he didn’t kill Shufen before, so he should have even less reason to now!

“It’s all your fault, you and your wife,” the eldest brother of the Lu Family had lost all reason, stubbornly pushing all the blame onto others, without realizing what kind of person he himself was.

The whole Lu Family was in chaos, and even the neighbors were disturbed by the commotion, yet not one of them came over to inquire. They were all people from the aristocratic circles, very well-informed; when Wei Shufen was executed by firing squad, the news was known to all who should have known.
