Chapter 218 The Wicked Parents Throw a Tantrum in Public!

After all, in most people's minds, it is a matter of course for parents to stand up for their children.

Just as public opinion was about to shift, a clear, angry voice rang out.

"Bullying others by relying on your power? How dare you say those four words?"

Gu Nanxing was carrying a shopping basket when he returned from buying groceries. Upon seeing this scene, he immediately exploded in anger.

She rushed to the couple, put the shopping basket on the ground, put her hands on her hips, and looked like a fighting rooster.

"Let me ask you, when your daughter bribed our nanny to poison my sister-in-law's pregnancy-preserving medicine, trying to kill my sister-in-law and her unborn child, why didn't you say that you were abusing your power?"

"When your daughter stole explosives from the military region's logistics department and blew up our medical equipment factory's transport truck, almost killing everyone on board, why didn't you accuse her of abusing her power?"

"Now you have the nerve to come to our doorstep and cry foul? Are your skin made of city walls?!"

Gu Nanxing's voice was bright and clear, and his words came out like a machine gun, with every word clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

The military wives who were watching were instantly in an uproar.

Poisoning? Three lives lost? Explosives?

Any one of these words is enough to send chills down your spine.

Yunlan's parents were speechless after being confronted by her, and their faces turned as red as liver.

They only knew that their daughter had been arrested, but they had no idea what she had done wrong. They thought that by making a scene, the Gu family would give them some face, given their status as elders.

Who would have thought that this sister-in-law of the Gu family would show no mercy and reveal everything in front of so many people!

Seeing that force wouldn't work, Yunlan's mother immediately changed her strategy.

Instead of arguing with Gu Nanxing, she turned to the military wives who were watching and cried even more miserably.

"Ladies, please be the judge!"

“Even if our Lanlan did something wrong, it should be handled by the military. We, as her parents, came all the way from the mainland just to see her and ask her what happened. Is that wrong?”

"But what about Gu Jia? He stopped us at the door and wouldn't even give us a drink of water! Isn't this blatant bullying of us because we're outsiders and have no power or influence?"

"We're an old couple, what can we do to them? They're just guilty! They're afraid we'll make a big fuss!"

These words successfully garnered a lot of sympathy.

Yes, no matter what, it's only natural for parents to want to see their daughter. The Gu family's obstruction is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Gu Nanxing stomped her feet in anger; she was the worst at dealing with this kind of shrewish behavior.

Inside the house, Su Yue could hear the commotion outside clearly.

She picked up the warm water on the table, took a sip, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

They arrived as expected.

This kind of tactic—breaking through from within and using public opinion and interpersonal relationships to drain your energy—may be considered underhanded, but it's the most disgusting.

They wanted to use this shameless method to disrupt the Gu family's peace.

Just as Gu Nanxing was about to lose control of the situation and his face turned red with anxiety, two people suddenly squeezed in from the outer edge of the crowd.

"Make way, everyone!"

Yun Mu, with a dark expression, pulled Yang Yiyi, whose face was equally frosty, and squeezed through the crowd.

Everyone in the military compound knows Yun Mu. They know he is Yun Lan's cousin and was the first to warn the Gu family to be careful of Yun Lan.

Upon seeing him arrive, the crowd automatically made way for him.

When Yunlan's father saw Yunmu, it was as if he had seen a savior. His eyes lit up, and he didn't care about his wife on the ground. He rushed over and grabbed Yunmu's arm tightly.

"Xiao Mu! You've come at the right time! Quickly tell Commander Gu that we know we were wrong! We know Lanlan has let the Gu family down!"

His voice was choked with sobs, filled with humble pleas.

"As long as he shows mercy and releases Lanlan, our family is willing to compensate! We'll pay any amount! We'll sell everything we own to pay!"

Yun Mu was so angry that he was trembling all over when he saw his two uncles and aunts who were talking nonsense and turning black into white.

His hands, which were usually wielding pens and scalpels, were now clenched into tight fists.

Yunlan's father was still holding onto his arm tightly, looking as if he had found his pillar of support.

Yun Mu forcefully flung the hand away, his actions filled with undisguised disgust.

"Uncle."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Yun Lan has committed treason! Colluding with the enemy! A capital crime punishable by death! You want me to plead for her, so you can go in with her and wipe out our Yun family line?"

Treason!

These three words struck Yunlan's parents like a heavy hammer blow.

They only knew that their daughter had offended the Gu family and been arrested, but they never expected the crime to be so serious.

Yunlan's father trembled slightly, but the woman beside him did not back down at all.

Seeing that force wouldn't work, she immediately turned her attention to Yang Yiyi next to Yun Mu, her face instantly changing to a tearful expression.

"Yiyi, my good child, your aunt knows you have a kind heart."

She stepped forward and tried to take Yang Yiyi's hand, but Yang Yiyi subtly dodged her.

"Aren't you and Su Yue best friends? Go talk to her and tell her not to be so heartless. It's better to be forgiving. After all, Lanlan is a delicate girl. If her reputation is ruined, how will she ever face anyone again? A woman's reputation is more important than anything else!"

These utterly shameless remarks made Yang Yiyi laugh in anger.

She stepped forward and tightly took Yun Mu's arm, making her stance clear through her actions.

“Auntie, Su Yue and I are best friends, so I know better than anyone how vicious Yun Lan was when she wanted to kill Su Yue and her unborn children! She wanted Su Yue dead, and she wanted Su Yue’s two unborn children to die with her! Now you want me to plead for such a person?”

Yang Yiyi straightened her back and refused to back down.

"Unless the sun rises in the west!"

Neither soft nor hard tactics worked, and Yunlan's parents finally broke off all pretense of civility.

"Fine! You two ungrateful wretches!"

Yunlan's mother jumped up from the ground and pointed at Yunmu's nose, cursing loudly.

"You've grown wings, haven't you? Forgot who fed you when you were little? Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you don't recognize your poor relatives anymore?"

"You traitor! You'd abandon your own cousin for the sake of outsiders! Do you believe I'll report you to the military district's disciplinary committee right now? I'll accuse you of being disloyal and unfilial!"

Faced with this tantrum and shamelessness, Yun Mu and Yang Yiyi felt nauseous.

There's no reasoning with this kind of person.

That evening, the situation escalated further.

Yunlan's parents actually went directly to the family building where Yunmu and Yang Yiyi lived.

The two cried and made a scene at the entrance of the family building, pounding on the door and rolling around, saying that Yun Mu and Yang Yiyi were ungrateful and had driven their elders to their deaths.

The wailing was so mournful, as if someone had died, that it quickly drew everyone in the dormitory building out to see what was going on.

Countless probing and amused gazes fell upon the two, causing Yun Mu and Yang Yiyi's faces to turn pale and then red, as if they had lost all face.
