Chapter 896: Changing Situations
That night, the imperial capital was turned upside down and the situation was changing dramatically.
The charity dinner was forced to be suspended, and Cheng Qi, Xu Qingya and their two children returned to the Cheng family's old house under the "escort" of the Xi family's secret guards.
Xi Jiu, Ruan Fengmian, Yang Liu, Jiang Yan and others also followed.
All the guests attending the charity dinner watched helplessly as Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya were taken away. As soon as they left, the news of what happened at the charity dinner exploded in the community.
#Ruan Qi’s parents are actually the founders of Sun Flower! #
#Ruan Qi's father, Ruan Fengmian, is the eldest son of the Cheng family, Cheng Boyan, who passed away twenty years ago! #
#Mrs. Liu Qiuyu of the Cheng family was killed by Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya#
#Cheng Qi killed his wife and son, he has absolutely no conscience! #
#Ruan Qi's mother Yang Liu is actually the youngest daughter of the Jiang family who passed away many years ago! #
Countless pieces of news spread in the wealthy circles of the imperial capital, one after another, each one more explosive than the last.
Those who didn't attend the charity dinner must be so sorry. How could they not have witnessed all the good stuff?!
The major WeChat groups in the capital's wealthy circles were flooded with messages, all discussing the affairs of the Ruan and Cheng families.
When everyone's excitement had almost worn off, they finally remembered the most important question at the moment - how was Ruan Qi?
According to Xi Jiu and Ruan's parents, it was Xu Qingya who sent people to capture Ruan Qi.
Everyone knows that Ruan Qi is in a coma. Isn't it dangerous for her to be captured now?
This time, no one could sit still.
Regardless of whether they were genuinely concerned about Ruan Qi or wanted to curry favor with the Ruan and Xi families, no matter what their purpose, everyone in the circle hoped to help Ruan Qi. They all picked up their phones and called Gong Qi, the Xi family's chief steward.
At this time, Gong Qi, accompanied by several elders of the Xi family, had just walked into the Cheng family's old house.
Ever since learning that Ruan Qi was arrested, Old Master Xi was furious. He immediately brought the rest of the Xi family to the Cheng family and directly surrounded the old house.
"From now on, the Cheng family is only allowed to enter but not leave. No one can live in peace unless my granddaughter-in-law is handed over!"
Old Master Xi still had some courage and kicked open the door of the Cheng family's old house.
Xi Xiaoran, who was accompanying him, looked worried: "Dad, aren't we being too high-profile? Restricting other people's personal freedom, what if they get photographed by the media..."
"Who's restricting personal freedom?" Old Master Xi puffed his beard and glared, "I'm protecting the Cheng family! The security in the capital has been bad recently. I'm a family friend of the old patriarch of the Cheng family, so naturally I have to take good care of his descendants. I brought these people here to protect the safety of the Cheng family!"
Xi Xiaoran: "..."
"Why are you worrying so much?" Duan Wei, who was walking beside them, said coldly, "With our family's capabilities, can't we protect ourselves from a few media outlets? Even if we restrict others' personal freedom, so what? If the Cheng family doesn't hand over Xiao Qi, I will drag them down with me."
Xi Xiaoran: "..."
Xi Xiaoran was also worried about his daughter-in-law. However, Ruan Qi was a public figure after all, and he was worried that being too high-profile would have a negative impact on her.
But what Mr. Xi and Duan Wei said made sense. Given the Xi family's capabilities, if they couldn't even defend against the media, then the title of the number one ancient martial arts family might as well be ceded to someone else.
Xi Xiaoran said no more. The group walked through the courtyard and went directly into the main building of the old house.
At this point, the main building was surrounded by Xi Jiu's men. Even Q Base was mobilized. Bai Yuchen and Qin Qingdi stood guard at the main entrance, one on each side, their murderous aura radiating like door gods.
Mr. Xi and his companions nodded at them. Just as they entered the hall, a figure came flying backwards like a broken sandbag.
I'm taking today off due to family matters. I'll update as normal tomorrow.
