Sheng Yilan’s face was tense.
She was an elder, but was suppressed by Wei Zhiqian.
Her words carried no weight.
Yet, the old folks allowed Wei Zhiqian to behave in this manner.
“You are not the head of the family yet.” Sheng Yilan couldn’t bear it any longer, “You just said yourself that you are only the next head, and not the current head of the family.”
“As long as you’re not the head, it’s not up to you to make the decisions in the Wei family.” Sheng Yilan said in a low voice, “It’s not appropriate for you to be arrogant with us.”
“Everything you said earlier is based on the premise that you’re head of the family.” Sheng Yilan continued, “You’re not the head now, so you don’t have the power to control us in the name of the family head.”
“Then do I have the right?” Wei Mingwen came forward. “I have already given all the powers of the head of the family to Zhiqian.”
“If you insist on fixating on this matter, then just take these orders as mine. As the next head, Zhiqian is temporarily unable to exercise the powers of the family head to restrain you, so at the very least, I can do it,” said Wei Mingwen icily.
“Now, just remain here and don’t even think about letting Wei Keli know anything in advance. Also, don’t think that he can take precautions beforehand or make any remedial measures,” Wei Mingwen said icily.
Wei Mingxiao and the others were infuriated, and their hearts felt extremely constricted.
Wei Mingwen was obviously shielding and indulging Wei Zhiqian.
They were father and son after all.
Wei Mingxiao and the others had no choice but to wait.
However, not long after, Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing arrived.
Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong recognized Wei Keli’s car first.
“It’s Keli’s car.” Li Xiangrong saw it from afar and quickly got out of the car.
Wei Zhijian did likewise.
Seeing them both alight from their car, everyone looked towards the incoming car.
Wei Mingxiao and Sheng Yilan guessed that Wei Keli had returned, so they alighted as well.
The car slowly came to a stop.
Wei Keli was brought out.
Wei Zhiqian’s men were still on either side of Wei Keli, making it obvious that their intention was to guard him.
Li Xiangrong hurried over, and Wei Zhijian followed.
“Keli!” Li Xiangrong called out, and then said unhappily to the two men guarding Wei Keli, “What are you the two of you doing? My son isn’t a criminal!”
As for Yuan Keqing, she was also restrained by her arms and was unable to move freely.
However, Li Xiangrong acted as though she didn’t see it and kept her silence.
Yuan Keqing gritted her teeth.
She reminded herself that blood is thicker than water.
Not to mention that Li Xiangrong had never liked her.
Yuan Keqing also knew that Li Xiangrong had only agreed for her to be with Wei Keli because the Yuan family was good and she lacked the ability to separate them.
And she also felt that the Yuan family could be of use to her.
She wasn’t sincere in wanting to acknowledge her.
Yuan Keqing didn’t say anything about it, but was still warm and friendly towards Li Xiangrong.
Every time they met, she fawned over her.
If she came across anything suitable, she would purchase and gift it to Li Xiangrong.
Especially in front of Wei Keli, she was exceptionally gentle, considerate, and magnanimous.
She never displayed any negative emotions or dissatisfaction because of Li Xiangrong’s attitude towards her. She remained warm and respectful towards her.
Even when Li Xiangrong had a bad attitude towards her and Wei Keli comforted her in private, she still used an understanding attitude and tone to express that it was alright, and that she could even understand Li Xiangrong’s actions.
In any case, Yuan Keqing couldn’t find any fault in front of Wei Keli.
But she had already committed to memory every single thing that Li Xiangrong had done to her.
She was only enduring it for the time being. Once she found an opportunity, she would definitely repay it twofold!
She, Yuan Keqing, wasn’t someone who could be easily taken advantage of.
Since she dared to humiliate her like this, she definitely wouldn’t let Li Xiangrong off.
In addition, with today’s incident, Li Xiangrong didn’t even try to pretend that she only had Wei Keli in her heart.
Yuan Keqing didn’t show any displeasure on the surface, but she had already wished death upon Li Xiangrong a thousand times.
“He is now a major suspect,” Wei Zhiqian said. “All of you will be monitored closely, let alone Wei Keli.”
Wei Zhiqian glanced at Li Xiangrong indifferently. “Before showing the evidence to everyone, Wei Keli must be kept under surveillance to prevent him from destroying it.”
“What evidence?” Wei Keli’s expression changed. There was already panic in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He had been ostracized in Nacheng and had gotten together with Qin Murong.
Wei Keli’s ability to conceal things was much better than before.
However, as his mother, Li Xiangrong could still catch the flash of trepidation in his eyes.
She panicked.
She had her doubts before.
But she still held onto hope till the end.
Even though she knew that Wei Zhiqian had come with such a big fanfare.
And he had brought enough people; there was strength in numbers.
He must have sufficient evidence in his hands.
Otherwise, with his character, Wei Zhiqian wouldn’t be so arrogant if he wasn’t confident.
However, Li Xiangrong still had hope in her heart.
As long as it wasn’t beyond remedy, she would never admit to anything.
But now, Wei Keli didn’t even know what he had done that Wei Zhiqian found out about, let alone do anything to make up for it.
“Since Wei Keli has already arrived, let’s go upstairs together.” Wei Zhiqian didn’t reply to Wei Keli, but spoke to everyone.
Thus, Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing were grabbed and followed everyone upstairs.
Wei Keli’s home was sizeable.
It was a large flat.
But with so many people coming in at once, even the large flat seemed crowded.
“Bring Wei Keli’s computer over,” Wei Zhiqian said.
Wei Keli came apart.
He still didn’t think of the chat records with the marketing account.
What he was panicking about was the short videos stored in his computer.
Yuan Keqing didn’t know about him and Qin Murong.
Other than him and Qin Murong, no one else knew.
However, there was also a short video of him and Yuan Keqing.
And Yuan Keqing didn’t know that he secretly recorded it using the security camera.
Moreover, if it was released in front of the elders, he would be finished!
The old folks already loathed him.
If they saw this as well…
He would be completely finished.
“Why are you looking at my computer?” Wei Keli said in a panic, “Even if you are my elder, even if you are the next head of the Wei family, you can’t invade my privacy!”
“Even if it’s a police case, you have to have a search warrant to look at this. You aren’t a police officer, let alone your men. Why should you conduct a search!” Wei Keli said loudly.
He wanted to stop them, but his arms were firmly restrained by Wei Zhiqian’s men.
He couldn’t break free even if he tried.
“Originally, this matter could have been reported to the police and they would have investigated it,” Wei Zhiqian said. “However, if the police were to investigate it, it would be a public scandal.”
