Qin Huaiyi ignored him and, in a state of extreme panic, instinctively used her good hand to pick up the grenade that had fallen to the ground.

The grenade rolled to Yao Huixian's feet.

Her previous behavior had already led the guards to classify her as a dangerous individual.

If she had obediently raised her hands, that would have been fine, but instead, after being warned by the guard, she recklessly went to pick up the grenade.

The guard didn't waste any words with her and pulled the trigger directly.

In the blink of an eye, the moment the gun went off, Qin Huaiyi unleashed unprecedented strength, dragging Yao Huixian, who was closest to her, along. Before Yao Huixian could react, a bullet struck her in the chest.

Fresh blood trickled out, and unfortunately, it hit a major artery.

“You…” Yao Huixian clutched her chest, staring wide-eyed at Qin Huaiyi in disbelief.

He then collapsed.

Qin Huaiyi screamed, staring incredulously at her hands, seemingly unable to believe why she would do such a thing.

The guard didn't care about anything else. She dodged the first shot, but the second shot hit her directly in the shoulder.

This temporarily rendered her incapacitated.

"Quickly, save her!" Everyone was surprised by Qin Huaiyi's act of using her own mother as a shield, but they quickly recovered and sent someone to check on Yao Huixian's condition.

"Stop the bleeding first, then take her to the hospital." Lin Xiaoxiao, who knew a little first aid, gave Yao Huixian some basic first aid treatment.

Then Qin Jinye, accompanied by his bodyguards, was rushed to the hospital.

Qin Huaiyi was taken away by the guards and Chu Wujin, as was the grenade.

Everyone present was shocked. The banquet was completely ruined. The thought that this was Wen Mo's birthday party, and that Qin Huaiyi was brought by Yao Huixian, was truly shocking.

Lin Xiaoxiao could only say that Yao Huixian deserved it; her death was her fate.

Wen Mo also felt it was bad luck, so he cheered himself up and saw all the guests off.

As Chu Wuxuan left, he gave his wife a wistful look. Cheng Muxi touched her nose, took Xiaobao's hand, and said, "Special circumstances require special treatment, don't take it too seriously."

She didn't really want to divorce him.

The four Chu brothers gave their eldest sister-in-law a thumbs up.

After everyone had left, Wen Mo slammed his hand on the table, a cold glint in his eyes. "Since she insists on courting death, then so be it."

Lin Xiaoxiao, considering her father's methods, could already foresee Qin Huaiyi's future.

"Go check on An'an. Those two gunshots today must have scared him," Wen Mo said to Lin Xiaoxiao after composing himself.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

An'an had already been coaxed to sleep by Qin Yushen. When Lin Xiaoxiao came in, Qin Yushen had just gotten up. She walked to the bedside and touched her son's head, her expression inscrutable.

Qin Yushen seemed to sense something and pulled her down to sit.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Were you frightened?"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, a cold glint in them. "If Qin Huaiyi really detonates that grenade today, everyone here will be either dead or crippled, including our An'an..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

But the chilling tone in her voice told Qin Yushen that she was extremely angry.

Perhaps it was her protective nature, but Lin Xiaoxiao's body bristled with sharp thorns, as if she wanted to tear Qin Huaiyi and Yao Huixian to pieces.

Qin Yu gently rubbed her face, his fingertips lightly brushing across her eyes, his voice so low it was as if he were whispering in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll make her understand how difficult death is."

Death is too good for her.

Qin Huaiyi, with the idea of ​​ending it all by dying and going all in, planned to drag everyone down with her.

Then let her live well, until she's barely clinging to life and has no strength left to regret it. She'll have to chew up every last bone fragment and swallow it all, so she understands that living is a million times worse than dying.

Qin Huaiyi's behavior was so egregious that the news spread quickly.

Her act of pushing her own mother to shield her from bullets has been used by many as a negative example, with people condemning her as unfilial and a parasite on socialism.

During her transport to the police station, she was attacked and beaten by a group of people, suffering multiple fractures throughout her body.

In this era, a zero-tolerance attitude has always been adopted towards sabotage.

Especially when it comes to military weapons, it will be seen as a counterattack by the enemy.

After the investigation revealed that the grenade she used did not come from enemy agents, the police interrogated her again to see if she had any accomplices. Perhaps thinking of Yao Huixian, who was still in the hospital receiving emergency treatment, Qin Huaiyi insisted that she did not.

However, Yao Huixian disregarded the policy and brought her back from the forest farm, and has since been listed as a sabotage element.

If Yao Huixian hadn't brought her back, none of this would have happened. In short, Yao Huixian also bears responsibility; these kinds of things are always a matter of mutual responsibility.

Not only Yao Huixian, but Qin Jinye and the Yao family were also investigated.

Qin Jinye was alright, but Yao Huixian's nephew, who had finally gained a foothold in the government agency, lost his job because of their affair. It was also recorded in his personnel file, which would affect his chances of getting into a good school.

The Military Control Commission bypassed normal judicial procedures and sentenced her to life imprisonment, citing the lack of casualties.

He would naturally be sent to a farm to serve his sentence.

Coincidentally, the place Qin Huaiyi was going to was the same place Lin Wanwan was.

Yao Huixian is critically ill due to being shot, and it is uncertain whether she will survive. The Military Control Commission has temporarily suspended its verdict on her, pending further developments.

The bullet struck Yao Huixian squarely in the chest, rupturing her major artery. Despite the hospital's best efforts to save her, she passed away two days later.

When the doctor told the family the unfortunate news, he also said, "She herself did not have a strong will to live."

They had no will to live, and no amount of resuscitation efforts could save them.

Qin Jinye wiped his face, mustered his spirits, and took care of her funeral arrangements. He didn't care about Qin Huaiyi's current fate at all.

I felt a wave of exhaustion mixed with a hint of regret.

He bears the main responsibility for how Yao Huixian and her two children have become what they are today. If he hadn't let Yao Huixian bully Qin Yushen back then, he wouldn't have emboldened them.

As a result, their personalities became distorted, and one by one they took their own lives.

Qin Huaijun and Qin Huaiyi were his biological children after all. One was going to die and the other was going to die anyway. Qin Jinye was exhausted and looked like he had aged more than ten years in just over half a month.

After dealing with Yao Huixian's matter, I learned that Qin Huaiyi had already gone to where she was supposed to go.

Major setbacks in his family life were nothing to Qin Jinye; the biggest blow was the constant setbacks at work. His recent work was not being recognized by his superiors, and he was even criticized for being incompetent.

Qin Jinye shamelessly went to visit Chu Weinian.

After leaving his office, he knew that his career had come to an end.

Chu Weinian gave him a piece of advice, as the ancients often said: "Cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world." He had managed his family in a state of chaos and lacked even the most basic moral compass.

His own children had done things that would have resulted in the execution of nine generations of his family in ancient times, so how could the authorities possibly trust him?
