At the mention of her grandfather, the smile on Yun Bixue’s face faltered. She could not tell Bai Yaoyao about what happened to Grandfather as she did not want her to worry.
“Yaoyao, just come here first. The house will be more lively once you’re back. I really miss you, you know.”
She and Xie Limo were the only people in this sprawling villa. To be honest, the villa is really quiet on most days. She would have felt lonely if Tian Xiaojuan and the others did not come over to keep her company often.
Xie Limo did not let her watch the news about what happened after that day either. He only told her that the incident had been exposed and resolved, but she was not sure how exactly the matter was resolved.
She knew that Xie Limo did not tell her because he did not want her mood to be affected.
“Alright, I will return to Country A for the New Year.”
“Yes!”
Bai Yaoyao was still on the phone when she saw Duan Yanhao walking out. She said to Yun Bixue, “Bixue, we’ll talk more when I return then.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Bai Yaoyao said to Duan Yanhao, “Yanhao, I was on the phone with my best friend just now. We talked for a while, and I decided that I will go back to spend the New Year with them. Let’s just spend the New Year together next year, okay?”
Seeing the dark glow in Duan Yanhao’s eyes, Bai Yaoyao continued saying, “I have a nagging feeling that something is wrong while I was talking with Bixue. I’m worried that something may have happened to Old Master Yun.”
Bai Yaoyao was a sensitive person, so Yun Bixue’s words and tone had raised some suspicion in her heart.
Bai Yaoyao locked her gaze with Duan Yanhao after she was done speaking. Her gaze was filled with determination.
No matter how unwilling Duan Yanhao was, he could only surrender to Bai Yaoyao’s unyielding gaze.
“Alright. I’ll do as you say this time, but you can’t do this again next year.”
“Okay.”
“But, I will only send you back on the day before the Lunar New Year’s Eve.”
Bai Yaoyao nodded in agreement.
“Also, you have to come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year.”
Hearing this unreasonable demand from Duan Yanhao, Bai Yaoyao widened her eyes in disbelief. That meant that she would have very little time to spend with her best friend.
“If you don’t agree, we will spend the New Year together.”
Seeing the grim expression on Duan Yanhao’s face, coupled with his demanding tone, Bai Yaoyao laughed. “Yanhao, aren’t you worried that I’ll get angry if you’re being so domineering?”
“I’ll trap you here if you get angry.”
Bai Yaoyao burst into a fit of laughter. She had to admit that she liked his domineering nature deep down. She loved his soldier-like aura.
…
After ending the call with Bai Yaoyao, Yun Bixue seized the chance to browse the news on her phone while Xie Limo was busy with other things. When she saw the headlines of the news in the capital, she was shocked.
The amusement park had been razed to the ground. The whole rescue team was suspended and investigated for neglecting their duties and delaying the rescue mission. Some key officials had been removed from their posts for their involvement in the incident as well.
Right after that, all of Jiang Jingshan’s schemes were exposed in the media, inciting a wave of public backlash.
This was because the person who exposed her was her brother. The most important news was that Jiang Jingshan had even once kidnapped a one-year-old girl.
There was even photo evidence of it. Jiang Jingshan had been completely thrown into the storm of public debate.
As Jiang Jingshan’s brother was the one who came out to expose her, coupled with all the reports by various journalists, the police had already arrested Jiang Jingshan for interrogation.
There was also a video that Yun Bixue opened to watch. It showed Jiang Jingshan crying miserably and saying that she had been wronged and that this was all a sham. She even went as far as to say that this was a ploy by her own brother.
Yun Bixue was shocked as she read all these. She felt that Jiang Jingshan’s arrest could possibly be linked to her involvement in the roller coaster incident. After all, Jiang Jingshan must have wanted her dead.
