Upon hearing this, Shang Mingyue felt a surge of unease, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked warily, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with sarcasm and mockery, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "You really didn't know his identity?"
She said, enunciating each word clearly, "He is the second young master of the Li family!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Mingyue's face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't believe her ears.
Li Yuan continued, "Because his brother chose to study medicine, and he was unwilling to take over the family business, he didn't follow the family's plan to study finance, but instead switched to computer science. This move angered his family, so they cut off his allowance and strictly forbade him from using any of the family's connections. However, who could have imagined that after graduation, he would found Tianqi Company and become an overnight sensation, with many wealthy heiresses vying to marry him!"
At this point, Li Yuan's tone was filled with schadenfreude and a sense of vengeful pleasure. "Li Qi treated you so well back then. If you had stayed with him, you might have married into a wealthy family right after graduation. Hahaha, what karma! You schemed for so long, only to end up like this!"
Shang Mingyue stood there blankly, her mind a mess, unable to accept this fact.
Li Qi is clearly a poor guy. He's always busy with part-time jobs and doesn't even have much time to spend with her.
Her only redeeming quality is that she's incredibly generous with money.
He buys her clothes, shoes, and bags, and the things he buys for her are all very expensive, while he himself always wears the same few clothes.
But because of this, every time she took him out to eat with her friends, she felt that he was not presentable enough.
Although I'm not bad looking, being poor is the original sin.
All she wanted was a rich boyfriend and a good life. What did she do wrong?
It was him; he was the one who didn't tell her his true identity.
If she had known he was the second young master of the Li family, how could she have broken up with him!
Just then, various horns sounded outside the villa.
Hearing the siren, Shang Mingyue was momentarily flustered, but then she remembered what the master had said and sneered, "What's the use of calling the police? Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?"
With his hands in his pockets, Qian Ruizhe said casually, "Then let's wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Shang Mingyue felt a pang of panic.
With a few loud bangs as the car doors slammed shut, Shang Mingyue turned her head and saw that there were more than just police cars inside. Realizing something, her face turned pale.
"Shang Mingyue, you are suspected of tax evasion..."
"Suspected of economic crimes..."
"Suspected of stealing trade secrets..."
"Suspected of murder..."
The series of charges threw Shang Mingyue into a panic.
When she heard that her company had been shut down and her husband had disappeared, Shang Mingyue was completely stunned.
Even as she was being arrested, she kept muttering to herself, "No, it can't be..."
She stammered, her mind in a daze, "He couldn't have abandoned me... This can't be real... How could this happen..."
Shang Mingyue is the legal representative of the company. When her husband saw that the company was in trouble, he ran away immediately, and she had no way to hide.
This was the first time Qin Yune had ever seen such a grand spectacle in person.
All of this was because of those phone calls Qian Ruizhe had just made.
She vaguely remembered that he had also had his secretary intercept Shang Mingyue's resources, meaning that even if she eventually got out, she would have nothing left.
Qin Yunie never expected that his first real business battle would be presented in this way.
Qian Ruizhe walked to her side and looked down at her. "Have you learned this lesson? Sometimes killing doesn't necessarily require a knife. That would only cause physical pain. But actually, you can strike at what the other person cares about most and what they value most to deliver the heaviest blow to their heart."
Qin Yunie nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Qian Ruizhe glanced at his watch. "Things are settled. Let's go. I'll take you to the airport. Hopefully, we can still make it."
Mrs. Li felt little pleasure when she saw Shang Mingyue arrested; she could only sigh inwardly, never expecting things to come to this.
She seemed dazed and didn't notice their conversation. Her face looked a little pale as she said to them, "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back and rest first. Rui Ze, remember to take Yu Nie to the airport. Yu Nie, Auntie won't see you off."
Qin Yune asked with some concern, "Aunt Li, are you... alright?"
Mrs. Li waved her hand, "I'm fine, I just feel a little empty all of a sudden."
Upon hearing this, Qian Ruizhe frowned as he looked at Mrs. Li's somewhat pale face and said, "I'll take you inside first."
Mrs. Li did not refuse.
Qian Ruizhe escorted Mrs. Li inside and had the maid take care of her before coming out to take Qin Yune to the airport.
Throughout the journey, Qian Ruizhe did not ask Qin Yune about what had just happened, as if the black-robed man's kneeling was just an illusion.
Qin Yunie herself didn't know what was going on, let alone say anything.
The two arrived at the airport in silence.
It wasn't until Qin Yunie was almost through security that Qian Ruizhe spoke his first words of the journey: "If anything happens, remember to call. It's a bit far, but it won't take long to get there."
Qin Yunie was stunned, not expecting him to say that. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Qian Ruizhe waved to her, "Hurry up and go inside."
Qin Yunie didn't say any sentimental pleasantries. She simply nodded, holding her plane ticket, and walked a short distance inside. When she turned back, she found that Qian Ruizhe hadn't left and was staring intently in her direction.
Qian Ruizhe was taken aback when he saw her turn her head, then waved to her.
The plane took off soon.
By the time I arrived home by car, the sky was already overcast.
Qin Yunie had just arrived outside the courtyard gate when she was surprised to find that the lights in her house were on, and her heart skipped a beat.
She was alone at home. She made sure she closed the door and turned off the lights before she left. So who is inside now?
Qin Yunie cautiously found a stick outside, gripped it, and walked in step by step.
When she saw a splash of red, she closed her eyes, grabbed the stick, and slammed it down on the other person with all her might, screaming, "Ah—!"
Meng Po was sitting with her legs crossed, cracking melon seeds in her mouth, her beautiful face full of confusion. "Little Yu Nie, what are you doing?"
Qin Yunie: "..."
Her gaze followed the stick, and a corner of Meng Po's clothes was hit by the stick.
The air was thick with silence and awkwardness.
Qin Yune quickly hid the stick, "Sorry, I... I thought..."
Meng Po's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. "You think I'm a thief?"
Little Red's eyes widened too: "Gurgle gurgle!"
Meng Po stood up, strode over to her, and roared, "I'm so young and beautiful, how do I look like a thief! Huh?"
Qin Yune reacted quickly, "I was wrong."
Meng Po frowned, sniffed, "Hmm...hmm? Why do you have the aura of the King of Hell on you?"
