Chapter 935 Failed
Ye Wanxi turned her head and looked back in the direction where the few wisps of remnant souls had disappeared. She stretched her palm upwards out of the bamboo umbrella to catch the rainwater falling from the edge of the umbrella.
The rain, though localized, was quite heavy. Large drops of water splattered onto the umbrellas, quickly forming a small stream.
The trickle of water landed in Ye Wanxi's palm and quickly gathered into a small puddle, clean and clear, yet icy cold.
About five minutes later, the rain finally stopped, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the blazing sun that had been hiding behind the tall buildings.
The bright sunshine swept across the earth, dispelling the darkness and cold, but also illuminating the mess at the ferry crossing, drawing attention to it.
The moment the dark clouds dispersed, on the rooftop of a tall building thousands of miles away, a tall, slender man stared at the sudden downpour before him, his eyes gloomy.
A sudden gust of cold wind whipped at the hem of his dark coat, making it rustle.
After a long while, he gently brushed away the black ash from his palm, ignoring his hand which was charred black from the backlash, and said in a calm tone, without a trace of joy or anger: "It failed."
The incident at Chengnan Ferry Crossing caused quite a stir. Although the accounts that posted the videos and photos were either deleted or banned, it still couldn't stop people from discussing the matter, especially with some people taking advantage of the situation to deliberately stir up trouble.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Ye Wanxi anymore.
After the monster disappeared that day, she returned home under the escort of Fengtian Domain, and has been recuperating at home ever since.
Even Gao Min, who was usually extremely busy, took a few days off to go home and take care of her.
While she was lying at home doing nothing, a lot of things were happening outside.
Perhaps to divert everyone's attention from the giant monster, the matter of smuggling people across the ferry was soon made public.
Old Wang and his associates were quickly arrested. In addition to charges of human trafficking and illegal immigration, they were also charged with manslaughter, even though the deaths were not intentional. They faced imprisonment without a doubt.
Besides them, there was another person involved: Qiu Yanwen, who orchestrated the sale of Tong Kaibin abroad so that he would never return.
Qiu Yanwen thought he had done this cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace.
Originally, the elders of the Tong and Qiu families were very cold towards Tong Kaibin. He sent the person away and then pretended that the other party was dissatisfied and resentful of the attitude of both sets of parents towards him and ran away from home in a huff.
The two elders' impression of him must have plummeted. With their own outstanding son as a comparison, they would most likely not bother to look for him.
Throughout the entire transaction between him and Lao Wang, he never actually showed up; even the account used to transfer the money was fake.
Even if he were to be exposed someday, without evidence, the police wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the police's capabilities, and he never expected that the person he murdered, even in death, would still remember the cause and effect, and would accidentally find someone who could help him take revenge.
Despite all his scheming, Qiu Yanwen ended up digging his own grave, and the fig leaf that the Qiu family had been trying so hard to cover up was also ripped off.
Upon learning the truth, many business people in the same circle were greatly shocked, so much so that for a long time afterward, the matter of their rivals became a topic of conversation in the business community.
Moreover, many netizens who had never met the Qiu family before expressed their incomprehension after learning about their actions and attitude towards their own son.
[I just don't understand the thinking of these rich people. Their own son, a piece of their own flesh and blood, carried for ten months. He was switched at birth, suffered for over twenty years to finally find him, and instead of cherishing him, they treat him like an object, carelessly discarding him. They haven't even thought to send anyone to look for him after he's been missing for so long. In their hearts, this son is probably less than a cat or dog. Truly utterly cold-hearted!]
[What's so hard to understand? For some parents, especially wealthy ones like themselves, children aren't independent individuals, but rather a long-term investment. Since they've invested, they naturally expect a return. Between an adopted son, whom they've painstakingly raised as a successor for over twenty years, and a biological son who has suffered greatly, been forced to drop out of school, and become just another ordinary person, from an investment perspective, the former will obviously yield a higher return. The choice is obvious. Besides, it's not like the enemy family said they didn't want their own son; don't they also want to acknowledge him back?]
[Wanting to acknowledge the adopted son is fine, but the prerequisite is that you have to return the son first! You're keeping someone else's son while simultaneously wanting your biological son back. Wanting both the adopted and biological sons—is this how the wealthy solve problems? Truly impressive.]
[Exactly! So after all that, the Tong family raised your son for over twenty years, and now you're dragging your own son into it too? What kind of logic is that?]
[There's no need to speak up for the Tong family. They've already been thoroughly exposed; they're nothing but bloodsuckers! While other families have sons who sponge off their parents, in their case, it's the parents who sponge off their son. Quitting their jobs to make their son drop out of school to work and support them is truly outrageous. If they hadn't rushed to snatch their biological son after learning the truth, I would have suspected they already knew he wasn't their biological child.]
I really feel so sorry for Tong Moumou. To sum it up, everyone in the family is a villain. The enemy family is cold-blooded and domineering, and the Tong family is greedy and insatiable. As the biggest victim in this incident, she was robbed of her rightful status as a rich second-generation from birth. She has lived for more than 20 years without ever experiencing any happiness, and now she is being exploited by her adoptive parents.
He finally got a new identity and found his biological parents, only to discover that there was no place for him in the home that should have been his. His parents didn't love him, and he lost his life before he could enjoy any good days. A once wealthy young master was reduced to being kicked around like an unwanted ball—truly tragic.
[So, in my opinion, this is karma. The one the Tong family and their enemies were fighting over is now in jail, isn't he? Nobody can get him. And I heard that not long after Tong disappeared, that young master Qiu went after those vampire parents. One suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, and the other, seeing things were going badly, ran away with someone else.]
[Hahaha, I saw that too! Putting everything else aside, I think he did a great job! That's why they say evil people are always punished by other evil people, right? Birds of a feather flock together; the parents are bloodsuckers, the son is a snob, they're mutually harming each other—it's quite something. Of course, if the real young master hadn't died and had actually run away alone, that would have been even better. Leaving behind all these monsters and freaks, he could definitely start over and live a better life than them!]
