Lucky Golden Dragon in the 80s: My Dad? I Switched Him for a Better One novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: A Beast in Human Skin

Some mothers pointed at the figures on the stage and demanded answers, while some children burst into tears, frightened. The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Cao Daqiang saw them in an instant. His face went ghostly pale, and his heart hammered against his ribs.

’What’s going on?’

’How did these people find me here?’

Yuan Zhihe froze, her hand pressed tightly against her stomach as a cold sweat beaded on her face.

"Cao Daqiang, who... who are they? You explain yourself right now!"

"I..."

He opened his mouth, but his throat was too dry to utter a single word.

His gaze darted between the crowd and his wife, more and more cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

Before the chaos could subside, another group of people surged through the entrance.

Ling Anxun strode forward and stood before Cao Daqiang. He coldly drew out a document and brandished it in his face.

"Cao Daqiang, you are suspected of multiple crimes, including abuse of power. You are now under formal arrest. Come with us."

"Nonsense! That’s impossible!"

Cao Daqiang blurted out the denial, his mind a complete blank.

’He’d always been so meticulous. How could anyone have found evidence against him?’

But the other party wasted no words and directly pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

The commotion on the stage was so loud that all the guests heard everything crystal clear.

Yuan Zhihe’s father, seated at the main table, had a face as black as charcoal.

Cao Daqiang panicked and turned to shout at him, "Father-in-law! Say something! This is definitely a misunderstanding! I could never do something like this!"

Without even raising his eyes, Ling Anxun added coolly, "Captain Yuan is also implicated in several cases. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell deathly silent.

The families who were usually close to the Yuan Family all looked horrified. Some even quietly took half a step back.

Yuan Zhihe stood frozen to the spot, watching helplessly as the two most important men in her life were escorted out the door in front of everyone, on this very day.

’What is she going to do now?’

’The wedding was only half over when the groom was arrested and her father was taken away. How could she and the entire Yuan Family ever show their faces in public again?’

Cao Jiajia couldn’t help but grin and clap softly twice.

But the next second, her eyes met Ling Anxun’s sweeping gaze—it was as cold as an ice blade scraping against her skin.

A shiver ran down her spine. She flinched and quickly hid behind Shanshan.

Shanshan had also intended to pretend she hadn’t seen him, but a moment’s hesitation was all it took for Ling Anxun to catch her red-handed.

"Dad... Hehe, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"

Ling Anxun didn’t speak. He sighed, then ruffled her hair, messing it up as if he were scrubbing a little kitten caught stealing a snack.

"A coincidence? You make it sound so simple. Weren’t you supposed to be busy with your friends?"

"I was, but we finished up. So I thought I’d drop by and watch the show."

Shanshan shrugged, trying to lighten the mood.

She turned and nudged Cao Jiajia, who was cowering behind her boyfriend, with her shoulder.

"When did you two get together?"

"Oh, Cao Jiajia isn’t actually a bad person. She just used to get fixated on things and was full of pent-up anger. Plus, her mom spoiled her rotten. Now that there’s no one in her family to back her up, life’s gotten hard, so she’s naturally come to her senses."

Ling Anxun raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. He hadn’t expected his daughter to be so magnanimous.

"So all this messy business that’s been happening lately... was it all your doing?"

"Hehe, it was me."

Shanshan smiled and nodded, admitting it without evasion or excuses.

The father and daughter chatted away, completely ignoring Cao Daqiang, who was standing right beside them.

But when his ears picked up on their words, he immediately began to squirm and struggle violently.

"You little bitch! So you were the one plotting against me behind my back! I’m your own father! The heavens won’t forgive you for treating me like this!"

His face was flushed crimson, and his eyes, filled with hatred and madness, were fixed on Shanshan.
