Chapter 29 The Fish is Hooked
Xiao's house, the eldest son's house in the east.
Xiao Yigan paced in the room with a look of urgency on his face.
His wife sat aside with a cold face, occasionally giving him a blank look.
Suddenly, the atmosphere reached a peak. She put the teacup down forcefully and said, "If you hadn't cheated, nothing would have happened!"
"How could I have been so blind as to fall for someone like you? I'm telling you, if it weren't for our son's future, I would have divorced you long ago!"
"Alright!" Xiao Yi said coldly, "What's the point of saying so much now? The most important thing is to quickly resolve this problem, otherwise Hongde will belong to someone else! I might even end up in jail!"
Upon hearing this, the wife frowned and stopped talking.
At this moment, a man in formal attire walked in quickly. Seeing the two of them, he bowed respectfully, "Master, Madam."
"How is it?" Xiao Yi asked anxiously.
The man said, "Something went wrong with the people sent to Mingxiu's residence. They staged a perfect car accident, but for some reason, the car should have crashed into the river or into the tunnel, but instead, it only smashed through the guardrail, and both of them survived. The police are now investigating. Her car happened to hit the Third Young Master's car, and now the two of them are with him. We're worried about getting him into trouble, so our people can't continue."
"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Xiao Yigan was furious.
The subordinate lowered his head even lower. To avoid being beaten, he quickly reported another matter: "Regarding the leak, all the evidence points to the medical examiner from that year. Due to excessive mental stress, she contacted Yu Fanli's brother and explained the cause of Yu Fanli's death."
"I shouldn't have let her go!"
The subordinate said, "But she vehemently denied it, so we can't be absolutely sure it was her."
"Besides her, it's that bitch!" The wife stood up and said, "She's not happy with how we treated her, and it's possible she'll hold a grudge and expose you!"
Xiao Yi frowned dryly: "She is abroad and has long stopped caring about domestic affairs!"
"You're still protecting her!" His wife said coldly, "I've endured this for so many years and won't accept failure at the last moment. You must quickly resolve these issues and officially inherit Hongde! Otherwise, even if others don't expose you, I will!"
After saying this, the wife left angrily.
Xiao Yigan held his forehead and sighed, and at this moment, the TV happened to be broadcasting news related to Shen Zhiyi's live broadcast incident.
He kicked the TV in anger.
"Little bitch!"
**
Shen Zhiyi never thought that Xiao Lanting would let her drive back to Mingxiuzun's residence.
Moreover, she and Yu Fanggeng were both allowed to stay.
He also lives here and doesn't go back to the Xiao family.
Yu Fangeng poked her arm quietly and whispered, "See, I told you he loves you to death. He's doing this because he's obviously afraid your life is in danger, so he's staying by your side to protect you."
"Have you ever been in love?" Shen Zhiyi looked at him.
Yu Fanggeng raised his head and chest with great pride: "It's not an exaggeration to call me a love expert."
"Oh, the kind that appeals to both men and women?" Shen Zhiyi said dimly.
Yu Fanggeng: "Don't look at me like this, I used to be very handsome. I understand men's minds."
After hearing this, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but look at the man who was talking on the phone in the yard. Somehow, her heart suddenly became confused.
*
The room assigned to her was the master bedroom.
The two rooms opposite are Yu Fangeng and Xiao Lanting's rooms respectively.
Although the room has not been occupied for a long time, it is well maintained.
Lying on the bed, she browsed the results online.
Her car accident has been on the news and is still trending.
Although I wasn't in the front row, it showed that this matter had gained a certain degree of popularity.
Netizens have linked her car accident to the mysterious red shadow in the live broadcast room, saying that she had offended the gods and was punished.
But some netizens who believe in science believe that this is a coincidence.
Theists keep telling atheists that "it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists", which atheists are very disdainful of.
As the two sides argued, the heat rose rapidly. Various big Vs quickly made many related videos, among which the most popular one was the Yu Fanli incident.
Because this incident caused quite a stir at the time, but later because the Internet was not very developed, it was left unresolved and became an unsolved mystery in people's minds.
Now that it has been brought up again, its mystery easily arouses people's curiosity.
As the story progressed, everyone was confused. Who commissioned Shen Zhiyi to explore the mystery?
Following the clues provided by Shen Zhiyi, everyone gradually locked their sights on the forensic doctor of that year.
Seeing this, Shen Zhiyi knew that the time had come.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, her private message on Weibo was bombarded with dozens of messages from the same user.
They were all questioning why she was slandered.
She left a phone number for the other party.
In less than a minute, someone called.
"You are Shen Zhiyi, right? I'm going to sue you for slander!" The other party was not polite as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shen Zhiyi leaned against the pillow, his tone was very light: “You are…”
"I'm the forensic doctor who examined Yu Fanli back then! You slandered me during the live broadcast, saying I submitted an article to you and asked you to explore the secret. I never did that!"
"I don't think I mentioned you directly, right? Is there any need to be so anxious to identify yourself?"
The other party sneered: "The information you gave is already so obvious. You said Yu Fanli was murdered, and you mentioned the forum post. The person who examined her back then was me, and it was me who posted the post. Who else could it be besides me?"
Shen Zhiyi was silent, her pink lips curled up.
Three seconds later, the other party gasped, as if realizing what he had said too much.
Shen Zhiyi said: "Ms. Qu, you are admitting that the autopsy results showed that he killed him, right? I recorded it."
"No...I didn't!"
"What are you afraid of?"
“Beep, beep…”
As expected, the other party hung up the phone.
Shen Zhiyi didn’t call back.
She responded on Weibo: "So many people now think you're the one who snitched on me, and Xiao Yigan must be one of them. Think about it, given his personality, what would he do? If I were you, I'd take legal action to protect your own safety. This is your only chance of survival."
The other party did not respond.
But that doesn't matter.
She has accomplished everything she wanted to do, and now it all depends on fate.
Late at night, she slipped into a dream.
In the vast white world, a woman who looked 50% like Yu Fangeng stood in front of her and gave her a friendly smile: "Thank you, Miss Shen."
"It's too early to thank you if you haven't succeeded yet."
"No matter what, you've helped us siblings a lot. Don't worry, when this is over, I'll leave on my own and won't burden you."
Shen Zhiyi was about to say something, but was stunned by Yu Fanli's suddenly distorted face.
A deadly black aura suddenly appeared on her lively face. Her pupils widened exaggeratedly, the corners of her mouth split towards her ears, her nostrils flared, and the skin on her face fell off in pieces.
She stumbled forward, trying to catch Shen Zhiyi, covering her head and shouting in pain: "He wants to control me, wants to control me..."
A sharp and piercing scream broke through the sky.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly woke up from his dream and looked into the dark room, only to see the curtains being blown by the strong wind, everything in the room rustling, and the jade ring on his thumb was shrinking infinitely!
And she suddenly found that her body was gradually stiffening and she could not move.
