1886

The Yun family had been a hot topic ever since Yun Xi became the First-class Socialite and after the Young Commander had announced that they were in a relationship.

Word of the incident spread throughout the city like wildfire.

In the dining room of the Qi family’s mansion, Qi Siyu almost thought she was hallucinating when she read the headline. She even double-checked it to confirm the content, and a huge grin quickly appeared on her face.

“Dad! Look! The Yun family is in deep trouble!” Qi Siyu turned the newspaper around and pointed at the headline to show her father. “Yun Yuanfeng pushed his wife down the stairs in front of everyone else. Not only did the baby die, but the wife died as well. They are going to charge him with involuntary manslaughter for sure!”

Qi Linzhou glanced at the headline before putting his knife and fork down.

Next to them, Qi Yichen raised his handsome face and took the newspaper from his father. “She’s dead? Wasn’t she fine after the fall last night?”

Qi Yichen was surprised after reading the report, especially the part where Lin Shuhua was dead from the accident as well.

He couldn’t help but wonder if Yun Xi had made a mistake.

“Were you there?” Qi Linzhou asked after studying his son’s expression for a few seconds.

“Nope,” the son simply replied and threw the newspaper back to his father, no longer planning to read it.

If someone had recorded Yun Yuanfeng hitting his wife, he would’ve only been charged with assault. However, now that there was a casualty, it was more than enough to charge him with involuntary manslaughter.

Things had taken an unexpected turn for Qi Yichen. He had never expected that it would cause such a massive incident. If he knew, he would never have added fuel to the fire. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but wonder if Yun Xi could actually solve this mess.

Just as Qi Yichen was pondering how to help fix the mess, Qi Linzhou’s phone rang. The Prime Minister answered the call and hung up after a short exchange.

“Not only has Yun Yuanfeng been charged with involuntarily manslaughter, but the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has also apprehended him with evidence of him accepting bribes.”

Qi Yichen paused whatever he was doing as he did not expect another incident. However, when he noticed the huge grin on his sister’s face, he couldn’t help but get annoyed.

“See! I told you that one should never be too pleased with themselves! Now that her father is being charged with manslaughter and accepting bribes, let’s see how she can stand next to Mu Feichi!”

He didn’t know if it was because he felt terrible for making the situation worse for Yun Xi, but Qi Siyu’s expression made him want to argue back.

“Do you really think our Young Commander cares about that? If you believe he does, then you know nothing about him.”

Qi Siyu raised her head abruptly to stare at her brother. “I’ve known him longer than you. Do you think you know him better than me? Even if he doesn’t care, do you think the Mu family will let them be? There’s no way that one of the Three Great Clans that had been here for hundreds of years would let the daughter of a murderer join them!”

Qi Yichen clicked his tongue and glared back at Qi Siyu. Hints of disdain could be seen in his eyes.

“Do you really think Mu Feichi did not know what Yun Yuanfeng had done or what kind of a person he was? Do you think he’s dumb enough to have never thought of this happening?” Qi Yichen said, and he suddenly recalled something that made him grin. “Mu Feichi had yet to do anything from the incident happening to the news reporting it. So either he’s not in the country, or he’s the one who instigated this. There’s no way his information did not catch wind of this going down beforehand.”

If Mu Feichi had allowed the incident to happen, then there was no need for him to worry for Yun Xi anymore. It could have been one of Yun Xi’s plans as well.

The only thing he was worried about was that after causing such a huge commotion, she might not get out of it unscathed.

Once Yun Yuanfeng’s reputation was tarnished, she would have to suffer from the after-effects as well. Qi Yichen could not help but wonder what her actual plan was.
