Chapter 006 No Home (2)

Seeing that he was anxious and embarrassed, Tao Wanru explained with a smile: "Old man, thank you young master for saving me. It's a pity that I am like this now and there is nothing I can do to thank your young master. Moreover, if your young master gets into trouble because of my relationship,

If you get into trouble, I will feel even more guilty... I have other things to do, so I have to leave."

"Ms. Tao, you--"

"Thank you young master for me. I regret that I can't thank you in person."

"Miss Tao...Miss Tao -"

Tao Wanru insisted on leaving, because today was the day when her father's verdict was announced in court. Since she was not dead, of course she had to pay attention. But at this time, it was too late to rush to the court. When she hurriedly walked through a commercial center, she accidentally

I caught a glimpse of today's interrogation being broadcast live on the big screen in the square.

On the screen, the presiding judge solemnly pronounced the verdict: "Now the first instance verdict has been made on the case of Dahua Group Chairman Tao Zhenghua's tax evasion, bribery, money laundering, and disruption of financial management order. Tao Zhenghua was found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced to seven years in prison; guilty of bribery,

Sentenced to fourteen years' imprisonment and confiscation of all personal property; sentenced..."

The presiding judge's pronouncement continued, and the majestic and slow voice echoed over Qiandao City. Tao Wanru's ears were buzzing, and her mind was dizzy again...

How is it possible? How could my father evade taxes, pay bribes, launder money, and disrupt financial management order...

Tao Wanru, who was simple-minded, could not understand the words coming out of the presiding judge's mouth. In her eyes, her father was a good man who could do charity, be considerate of employees, and care about their families. How could he do such illegal and disciplinary things!

Her body swayed, and Tao Wanru managed to steady herself. Looking at her father's face on the screen, which had become obviously aging and haggard in just a few days, she did not have the courage to take another look. Tears blurred her eyes, and the sunlight became obscured.

Standing in a busy commercial center, Tao Wanru cried alone as if it was the end of the world. No one passing by had noticed her, but her appearance was so strange that it aroused people's attention.

Soon, someone recognized her.

"Eh? Isn't this the eldest lady of the Tao family? There was a photo of her on the front page of the news yesterday!"

"Yes! It's her! Their family is in decline now. Didn't this just happen on the news? Tao Zhenghua, the richest man in Thousand Islands, was sentenced! I'm afraid he will die of old age when he is released from prison!"

"I heard that Mrs. Tao died of a sudden illness!"

"Really? Isn't this little girl so pitiful?"

"Tch! What's so pitiful about this! Who allowed their family to commit crimes when they are so rich? They are heinous profiteers! This is called retribution!"

"..."

Initially, some people looked at her with sympathy, but gradually rumors spread and everyone began to despise her. Standing in the center, Tao Wanru felt like she was isolated in a vacuum, the world was spinning, and even breathing was becoming difficult.

When she heard those words that slandered the Tao family, she was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but clenched her fists and shouted at the people around her with her big red and swollen eyes, "You are talking nonsense! My father is a good person! He is not a heinous profiteer!"

"Hmph! Good guy, how could a good guy get caught... Who knows where your family's money comes from... It's so filthy!"

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" Tao Wanru retorted hysterically, driving away the crowd like crazy.

"madman!"
