Lu Tingyan left, looking at the old man who had aged considerably in an instant. He refrained from telling him that Meng Tianze had already confessed that his brother's car accident was something he and Ye Boxuan had planned together. He dared not provoke the old man any further.
In the study, the old man hadn't spoken since Lu Tingyan left, his heart filled with disappointment towards his grandson.
The butler, seeing that he hadn't spoken, worried that he might aggravate his illness; "Master, have some tea, you didn't eat much for dinner."
"Ah Hao, do you think I'm a failure as a person? Why can't they understand my good intentions? Why do they have to fight to the death?"
“Master, please don’t say that,” the butler, Ah Hao, quickly comforted him. “Young Master is still young. He will naturally understand your good intentions once he has experienced more.”
The old man sighed. "I hope so. But now that he's done something like hiring someone to commit murder, what am I supposed to do?"
Ah Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, didn't you hand it over to your son-in-law to handle?"
"That's true, but how could the second son's family just let it go?"
"Master..."
"If they come and cause trouble, just tell them I'm sick."
"Yes, sir."
The next day, at Uncle Ye's villa, the family of three was having lunch in the dining room. Uncle Ye and his wife looked exhausted. They had asked around and found out that a client needed the raw material they had, so they rushed to the neighboring province and, after much persuasion, finally managed to sell the material. Although the client had pushed the price down, it was still a good thing that they were able to get some money back.
Just as he returned, thinking he would take a nap after lunch, Ye Boxuan, sitting opposite him, was overjoyed. He had learned that those people had succeeded in their mission; Xiao Qianqian and her unborn child had died in a car accident. Now, he was his grandfather's only option, and he didn't believe his grandfather wouldn't see him this time. Feeling smug, he served himself a bowl of soup, took a sip, and found it even more delicious than the soup he usually drank.
"Mom and Dad, did we get a new chef? This soup tastes so good today."
After waiting for a while, there was no response from his parents.
He looked up and noticed that his parents didn't seem to be in good spirits, looking listless.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep last night and now I want to sleep."
"Didn't you sleep last night? Were you out doing something sneaky, or...?"
He suddenly remembered something, looked up at his father, then at his mother. They were both so old, and yet…
Seeing that he was thinking the wrong thing, Uncle Ye quickly stopped him; "What are you thinking? Your mother and I are just worried about you."
"Thank you all. You don't need to worry about me anymore. Just wait, your son will soon be in the position of president."
Aunt Ye, who was still dozing off, suddenly looked up at her son when she heard his words; "Really? What did you do?"
Just then, a maid rushed in, flustered; "Master, Madam, something terrible has happened! The police are here!"
"What's the panic? What are the police doing here?" Aunt Ye hadn't slept all night and was already quite irritable. Seeing the maid acting so clumsily, she quickly scolded her.
Lu Tingyan had already arrived at the restaurant with the police by this time.
When Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye saw him, their expressions turned sour. They had been secretly competing with the eldest son's family, and as a result, they never gave Lu Tingyan a friendly look.
"Lu Tingyan, what do you want by barging into my house with the police?" Aunt Ye asked irritably.
"Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, I'm here on official business."
"On official business? What official business?"
"Ye Boxuan, please come back to the police station with us." Lu Tingyan looked at them expressionlessly.
Ye Boxuan, who had been silent and drinking soup since the police came in, raised his head.
"Arrest me?"
"Yes, you are suspected of a murder-for-hire case. Come with us to the police station now."
"Impossible! You must have made a mistake!" Ye Boxuan stood up and slammed the bowl heavily on the table.
"Whether there's a mistake or not isn't up to you to decide. Let's talk about it at the station." Lu Tingyan gestured for the police officers behind him to come forward.
"Wait!" Uncle Ye interrupted, "Ayan, let's talk this out! What exactly did Axuan do wrong?"
“Mr. Ye, please do not obstruct us from carrying out our official duties. The evidence is now conclusive. Ye Boxuan is suspected of hiring someone to murder the president of the Ye Group, resulting in the deaths of three people. Ye Boxuan must come with us.” Lu Tingyan’s eyes were firm, showing no sign of backing down.
"You can't take my son away, Lu Tingyan! He's your brother! What right do you have to take him away?" Aunt Ye panicked and quickly blocked Ye Boxuan's way, preventing the police from taking him away.
“Madam Ye, obstructing us from performing our official duties is also illegal. If you continue to stop us, I will take you all with me.” “Mom, get out of my way!” Ye Boxuan pushed his second aunt aside. “I’m going with them.”
He glared fiercely at Lu Tingyan, "Lu Tingyan, you wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
After saying that, Ye Boxuan walked out the door under police escort.
Aunt Ye collapsed to the ground, crying out, "My son! What are we going to do!"
Uncle Ye looked at Lu Tingyan with a gloomy expression and said, "Lu Tingyan, I hope you really have evidence, otherwise I will never let this go!"
Lu Tingyan looked at them, his heart unmoved.
Ye Boxuan was taken away, and his second aunt was still sitting on the ground crying; "What should we do, what should we do? What stupid thing did Ah Xuan do to attract the police?"
"That Lu Tingyan just said he hired someone to kill three people. Could he really have hired someone? Who did he kill?"
The elderly couple hadn't slept all night and were exhausted. They were completely distraught when their son was taken away by the police.
"What should we do? What should we do, honey? Contact a lawyer quickly and ask them to bail Ah Xuan out. He's never suffered since he was a child, he definitely won't be used to being in prison."
"Yes, yes, yes, contact a lawyer." Uncle Ye was so angry that he quickly took out his phone, found Lawyer Yang's number, and dialed it.
"Attorney Yang, could you please go to the police station to bail out my son? He was just taken away by the police."
"Mr. Ye, what crime did your son commit? Who took him away?"
“They say he hired someone to kill someone and was taken away by Lu Tingyan. You need to take care of it quickly. My son has never suffered anything before. He won’t be able to handle it if he goes in.”
