This was Zhao Youlin’s first encounter with Duan Yarong’s rage. She also knew that she was in the wrong. As such, she pursed her lips and silently accepted the elder’s rebuke.
Mu Tingfeng stood quietly at the side. He frowned when he saw Zhao Youlin being rebuked by Duan Yarong and took the initiative to walk forward. He stood in front of Zhao Youlin and said, “The reason that this happened was because Jifeng failed to handle the case properly. As a result, an error occurred. This is our fault, and it has nothing to do with Youlin or Yichen. Before I came here, I had already informed Jifeng about this. I believe he would handle the fallout from this incident well and provide you with a satisfactory explanation.”
Mu Tingfeng protected Zhao Youlin at all costs. Seeing this, Duan Yarong’s eyes flashed. Her dark expression faded and her tone became softer.
“I was too agitated just now. I’m sorry if I came across as harsh. However, I believe that the Su family will handle the situation well. After all, we’re already old, and we couldn’t bear the thought of our younger generation being lost in an accident. We could only afford to accept this once and there would be no more. This time, it happened to Yueyue; the next time, it could happen to anyone.”
Duan Yarong was actually saying that if the Su family did not resolve the mess, they should hand it over to the Zhao family. After all, it was the Zhao family who caused this incident, and Xie Yuqing specifically targeted them
On second thought, something was not right. The Su family was always involved in criminal gangs. Despite the fact that they had clearly whitewashed and changed their business type, the foundation was still there. What Duan Yarong had just said was actually her way of blaming the Su family, which would have inevitably offended them. Mu Tingfeng was put in a difficult situation as a middleman. As a result, she had phrased it differently.
Mu Tingfeng could not possibly have missed who Duan Yarong was referring to from her words. A glint of cold, murderous intent flashed across his stoic face. He gave a nod and added, “Don’t worry. Even if the Su family fails to handle the incident properly, the Mu family would not turn a blind eye to it. There would undoubtedly be no next time.”
Mu Tingfeng spoke to them. Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong naturally had no reservations about it. She turned around and reminded Han Yichen to watch out for the two sisters, particularly An Yue.
Although An Yue was not hurt, she had more or less been terrified. Furthermore, her older sister had been injured because of her. She did not speak it out, but she knew she was guilty deep down from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, Han Yichen should all the more be with her and console her.
After she reminded him of this, she and Zhao Shunrong did not stay any longer and went back with Zhao Youlin.
At that moment, Xie Yuqing still had no idea what kind of terrifying consequences awaited her for her unhinged assault. The moment she was arrested behind bars, she screamed and shouted. She threatened the security guards to let her go.
However, the police officers quickly gave her a cold shoulder. Some of them even cast a disdainful glance at her. She began to confront reality. She became agitated. Xie Yuqing’s internal fear was heightened after cussing for several hours in a row, plus hours of silence and going without food due to the ravages of hunger.
Extreme fear easily gave rise to extreme emotions. Under the dark dungeons, Xie Yuqing’s expression grew increasingly contorted. The ruthlessness in her eyes intensified. All of these facial expressions communicated a message. If she had the chance to flee, she would undoubtedly make the lives of those who had put her in this situation a living hell!!
One had to say, Duan Yarong had a better sense of judgment when it came to judging people and situations than Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group. If Xie Yuqing was released in her current state, there was a chance she would lash out and hurt people again.
Unfortunately, all of these were only ifs. At that moment, unbeknownst to Xie Yuqing, once she stepped into the detention center, she had completely lost the opportunity.
When Su Jifeng received Mu Tingfeng’s call, his staff was informing him that Ye Yan had used various methods to annoy them in order to gain access to the ward and pay a visit to his precious younger sister.
As one of the representatives of a group with strong possessiveness over their younger sisters, Young Master Su was in a bad mood when he learned that someone was planning to disturb his younger sister. When Mu Tingfeng mentioned the main culprit who had nearly caused her sister to miscarry, his expression quickly turned black.
He directed his rage at Ye Yan to Xie Yuqing. As a result, the outcome for Xie Yuqing was predictable.
The police officers were present when Xie Yuqing intentionally harmed others. Therefore, she could not possibly escape from her own crime. Furthermore, the Xie family was no longer the same great family in Shalnork that could protect her. It was only natural that she would be sentenced to jail. Besides, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group did not have to wait long before Xie Yuqing’s verdict was released, thanks to the instructions of a certain one.
With eyewitnesses and solid physical evidence, Xie Yuqing had purposefully injured the victim. Even though An Qi only had flesh wounds, she was severely injured. The authorities had decided to imprison Xie Yuqing for five years.
However, this was insufficient to quench their raging fire. Only when Su Jifeng had someone relay his messages to them were they truly able to contain their rage. “Young Master Mu and Madam Mu, Young Master Su knew that you would certainly be unsatisfied with Xie Yuqing’s verdict. Therefore, he asked me to inform you that you could be rest-assured that Xie Yuqing’s entry into the jail is only the beginning for her. Young Master Su would like to express his heartfelt regret for everything that had occurred. That error would only occur once and would not occur again.”
The people on the spot had been through a lot. How could they fail to understand the underlying meaning of these words?
Despite the fact that Xie Yuqing had been sentenced to five years in prison, she was unlikely to be released.
After they learned this, they felt relieved and set the matter aside. They concentrated on preparing the weddings of the two couples.
At that moment, they were still unaware of the changes in certain people’s relationships as a result of this brief interlude. By the time they belatedly found it out, it was already too late.
Inside the general manager’s office at Sheng Huang Group, two people stood across the desk from each other. The atmosphere was depressing.
“General Manager, this is the information you have requested that I investigate from birth to the present. Everything you need is right here.”
Nie Yunfan gave a nod. He then gave the person a sidelong glance, signaling him to place the documents on the desk and walk away.
By the time the office door was shut, he was the only one left in the office. Only then did Nie Yunfan take a slow step to the side of the desk.. His outstretched hand dangled in mid-air for a few seconds before he gradually picked up and studied the stacks of documents.
