After ten years of cultivation, he finally achieved greatness in a single day. To break free from the shackles of his sect and find his long-awaited fiancée, he resolutely descended the mountain. U...
The ornament was made of pure gold and inlaid with diamonds, and it was very heavy. Liu Wanxia didn't realize it when she first picked it up, but when she lifted it up, she struggled and the ornament slipped from her hand, almost falling, and smashed directly onto Liu Wanxia's head.
"ah……"
Those around gasped in shock.
If that hits you, you'll definitely be splattered with blood.
Even if the Chu family is facing a crisis, it shouldn't lead to any deaths. That would make things even more difficult to handle.
Those who were nearby wanted to take it, but Liu Wanxia was also flustered and didn't know what to do. Just then, a figure flashed by and steadily caught the ornament.
It's Qin Yiheng again.
It must be admitted that Qin Yiheng is always in the limelight at least eight out of ten times he appears.
The other two times, one was because there really wasn't any opportunity to stand out, and the other was because he didn't want to.
Liu Wanxia's face was deathly pale, but her eyes and nose were still red, making the two colors stand out even more. It wasn't until Qin Yiheng put the ornament back on the coffee table with a "thud" that Liu Wanxia finally came back to her senses.
"I was just one sentence away from finishing my sentence, why are you in such a hurry?" Qin Yiheng turned his head and stared at Liu Wanxia.
His gaze was malicious, but after he said that, Liu Wanxia's actions became quite thought-provoking.
"I, I..." Liu Wanxia tried to compose herself. "I could tell that you were just stalling for time."
"How did you figure that out?" Qin Yiheng pressed on.
Liu Wanxia, of course, couldn't give a coherent answer, and after stammering for a long time, she still couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"What are you doing? Xiaoxia is frightened, and you're still asking her questions like that..." Someone couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to interrupt Qin Yiheng's aggressive questioning.
Qin Yiheng chuckled indifferently.
"She's frightened, so I can't ask her anything. You're all trying to kill me, why should I care about these things?"
The sound wasn't loud, but because everyone's attention was focused on this side, whatever Qin Yiheng said would provoke public outrage.
"How can you talk like that? If it weren't for you, would the Chu family be in this state now?"
"What if it wasn't because of me?"
I thought Qin Yiheng would silently endure everyone's criticism this time, but he retorted without giving an inch.
Wasn't it because of Qin Yiheng?
Everyone looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
They hadn't even thought about this issue.
Many online opinions seem quite reasonable to them.
The Chu family got to know Qin Yiheng and had increasingly deeper interactions with him, which led to one incident after another. Who else could it be but him?
"You've been waiting for two days already, what's a few more hours?" Qin Yiheng glanced at the sun outside; it was already past noon.
None of the Chu family members expressed their opinions.
They came together simply because there were many of them and they shared the same idea, but none of them wanted to be the one to stick their neck out.
"Of course it's not bad." It was Chu Ruoxue who spoke.
Chu Wei wanted to speak, but Chu Ruoxue beat him to it, so he had no choice but to wait and see.
“I know what everyone is thinking. Since God… Qin Yiheng said that there will be results in a few hours, let’s wait a little longer. If we don’t get anything, I will naturally do my job for the Chu family without you having to say anything.”
The implication was that she agreed to break ties with Qin Yiheng, but still wanted to hold onto a sliver of hope.
Everyone can understand this kind of thinking. Young people are competitive and always think that miracles can happen at crucial moments. Who do they think they are? The protagonist in a novel?
Chu Wei, whose limelight had just been stolen, immediately said, "Okay!"
Many people are looking for a leader, and Chu Wei is just the right person.
"Anyway, we're all here. Qin Yiheng can't really cause any trouble. If the Chu family's crisis isn't resolved by tonight, Qin Yiheng, what will you say..."
Chu Wei was pondering whether to send him away, kill him, or use some other method to hand him over to the Luo family... when Qin Yiheng spoke up himself.
"I will atone with my death!"
"good--"
Chu Wei immediately agreed, as if afraid that Qin Yiheng would change his mind.
In situations like this, where Qin Yiheng is in a predicament, people usually have to discuss how the Chu family should compensate him if he truly helped them.
But Qin Yiheng didn't say that, which gave people the illusion that he was really waiting for a miracle to happen, which was actually just to live a few more hours.
Having decided to wait, the Chu family members temporarily dispersed, talking and resting in twos and threes. The large number of people made things chaotic, and while it was possible to keep an eye on someone individually, only Qin Yiheng could manage to watch over everyone together.
"What did you do that night?" Chu Ruoxue pretended to drink water and leaned close to Qin Yiheng to ask in a low voice.
"You'll find out soon enough," Qin Yiheng said, keeping her in suspense.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Remember, there's a rift between us now. Even if the Chu family's problems are resolved, you still have to maintain your opinion of me."
Chu Ruoxue's face flushed slightly.
Just now, she almost defended Qin Yiheng again while she was speaking, but fortunately she corrected herself in time, so she probably didn't give anything away.
This incident merely provided the Chu family with an opportunity to purge its internal forces.
People like Liu Wanxia are insignificant.
But someone like Chu Wei, who bears the surname "Chu," is not easy to truly eliminate.
So this is a big show.
To put it metaphorically, it's like all the actors are in full makeup, but the first act hasn't even started yet!
At this moment, Chu Wei was also calculating in his mind that he had to wait until Qin Yiheng was completely at a loss before bringing up the Luo family, otherwise the effect would not be the best, so it would be better to wait for the next opportunity.
"Sir, I'm feeling a little uneasy. Look at Qin Yiheng, he's so calm and collected. Could he really have some plan?" Liu Wanxia clutched her chest and lowered her voice.
"Let him find a solution."
Chu Wei himself had also considered what he would do if he were Qin Yiheng.
The Han family is clearly adopting a hands-off approach, stirring up trouble and then gradually withdrawing after their online trolls created the initial storm, leaving netizens to continue the real-life battle.
Finding evidence against the Han family is too difficult and not convincing enough.
Qin Yiheng clearly couldn't get anything by relying on a larger force to suppress them.
Proving his innocence was probably the safest way Qin Yiheng could think of, but if he just moved his finger, white would turn black, so it wouldn't be very effective.
The rest were pieced together from various odds and ends, and could be ignored; anyone who bothered with them would be a fool.
So, in the end—
Chu Wei sneered, looking at Liu Wanxia with a determined gaze, his tone confident and composed.
"He has nowhere to go!"
