Chapter 161 Xie Shen Gets His Retribution
Xie Zhiyao raised her little hand, covered her mouth, and chuckled mischievously.
Xie Siyan raised an eyebrow: "Youzi, what are you laughing at?"
Xie Zhiyao glanced at the closed door, then turned to look at her father and waved to him.
"Dad, come here for a second."
Xie Siyan walked over and squatted down in front of him.
Little Yuzu leaned close to her father's ear and whispered, "Have you and Mom made up?"
Xie Siyan lifted his eyelids: "Youzi, you're being naughty. A little kid like you actually went to eavesdrop on your parents' conversation."
He coughed lightly, hoping his son hadn't heard anything else.
Little Yuzu looked at him disapprovingly: "Dad, you and Mom were talking so loudly, I even covered my ears, but it still got stuck in my ears. Don't blame me."
"Did you hear anything else?"
"I heard Mom say you were born in the Year of the Dog, and it hurt her. Dad, did you really bite Mom? If so, I'm never talking to you again."
Xie Siyan pinched her son's chubby cheeks speechlessly.
"Erase that from your memory; it was just your mother talking in her sleep when she was delirious from the fever."
Little Yuzu responded with an "oh".
Still worried, she asked, "Then Mom won't leave us again, will she?"
Xie Siyan smiled confidently and said, "Of course, Xiaoyouzi is so cute, how could Mommy bear to leave again? Your dad is really grateful for Youzi's blessing. After Daddy finishes cooking the white porridge for Mommy, I'll make Youzi some spicy chicken noodles."
Little Yuzu's eyes lit up when she heard the first part of the sentence.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the light in his eyes dimmed again.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Dad, why don't you just order me takeout...?"
Xie Siyan: "......."

As the New Year approached, the Xie family held their annual meeting at the hotel.
As employees arrived one after another, the huge banquet hall was quickly filled, creating a lively atmosphere.
As the president of Xie's Group, Xie Shen stood in the center of the stage, with all the light from the dazzling spotlights focused on him.
This made him the sole focus of attention in the entire event.
Surrounded by admirers and adored by thousands, he enjoyed countless accolades and praises throughout his life.
A meticulous, serious, family-oriented, and considerate wife who remains chaste while others are embroiled in scandals is a breath of fresh air in a wealthy family rife with gossip.
Xie Shen's life had been too smooth, and he thought that this smoothness would accompany him for the rest of his life.
But the sound came from the huge screen behind him.
His back stiffened abruptly, and his face instantly lost all color.
"Are you crazy... What would happen if someone saw this...?"
"Please help me rescue my daughter..."
"What does my stern daughter have to do with me...?"
"Because Shen Qingbei is the bastard child you conceived by raping me, a stain you can never wash away, a disgrace etched into your very bones, forever unable to bear the light of day!"
A commotion immediately erupted throughout the hall.
"What's going on? Isn't Shen Qingbei President Shen's second son? How did he become President Xie's son? Isn't that Mrs. Shen on the screen? What's the inside story here?"
"The key point is that Madam Shen said that President Xie raped her. President Xie is serious and rigid, but also family-oriented and dotes on his wife. Could this be a frame-up?"
"Let me take another look."
The screen continuously played footage captured by the hidden camera that day.
Xie Shen's usual composure crumbled instantly. He gritted his teeth and shouted at the security guards below the stage, "Turn it off right now!"
But no one paid attention to his roar. A bodyguard dressed in black came up and restrained Xie Shen's shoulder.
As the video continues to play, Xie Shen's facade is gradually torn away by Lin Yin's accusations.
Beneath Lin Yin's insane accusations lies Xie Shen's hypocrisy and ruthlessness.
He made his actions sound perfectly natural, which was quite incongruous with his serious face.
The words spoken by Xie Shen in the video became the most powerful evidence, and at this moment, his face on the stage turned extremely ugly.
His fierce gaze swept across the audience.
The look in his eyes that had once held him in high esteem.
At this moment, however, they turned into pairs of eyes overflowing with contempt, disgust, loathing, and even nausea.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart; I never expected Xie Shen to have two faces, one in public and one in private."
"Exactly! I thought he was a good family man, but it turns out he's a rapist."
"I really misjudged him. Just thinking about working under him for so many years makes me want to vomit."
Xie Shen listened to the whispers below the stage. His image of so many years had completely collapsed in one move.
He sneered at Xie Zhongguo and his second brother who were slowly walking in.
"Dad, Xie Yuan, you really set up a trap for me today. It turns out I wasn't wrong. You knew all along that Su Niannian was Xie Yao, and you were secretly planning everything behind my back. You really went to great lengths."
Xie Yuan was always gentle and kind, but at this moment his gaze was frighteningly cold.
"Xie Shen, I've always considered you my elder brother. Actually, I've known for a long time that you're not Dad's son, but I've never revealed it because I didn't want to ruin our brotherly bond."
His voice suddenly rose: "But for your own selfish reasons, you wanted to kill my daughter. Yao Yao was so close to you when she was little, how could you do that to her? You could have just erased her memories, but why did you have to kill her? Xie Shen, you have no heart."
Another uproar erupted from the audience.
It turns out the Xie family had such a secret.
"Xie Shen is not only a beast, but also an ingrate. Even though he's not the old president's son, he was treated like his own and allowed to inherit the family business. Yet, he actually tried to kill Miss."
"I heard that it was Shen Qingbei who stole the young lady back then. It turns out the truth is that Xie Shen instigated his son to kidnap her."
Xie Shen sneered, knowing that the situation was beyond saving.
He simply stopped struggling, and once the disguise was torn away, his face became even more terrifying.
"Dad, I never imagined you'd team up with them to deceive me. You've fooled me terribly."
Xie Zhongguo snorted, "Don't call me Dad. I don't have a son like you. Xie Shen, you've truly disappointed me. I really regret not listening to my father. I shouldn't have brought you back when you were on the verge of death and raised you. Some people are just born bad. You've really inherited your father's personality—cold-blooded and ruthless, indifferent to family ties. Sibling affection and uncle-nephew affection are worthless in your eyes; they can all be used as stepping stones to achieve your goals."
Xie Shen's face showed no change, clearly indicating that he already knew about his background.
He watched the police officers walk into the venue.
His gaze turned fierce as he said, "I am ruthless, you are compassionate, so your compassion is expressed through ruthless extermination?"
Xie Zhongguo seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and his eyes became cloudy.
"Dad, let me take you away. The rest is up to the police."
"Um."
After saying that, the two stopped looking at Xie Shen and turned to walk out.
The police officer approached Xie Shen: "Xie Shen, you are under arrest for suspected involvement in multiple crimes, including but not limited to kidnapping, attempted murder, hiring someone to commit murder on the dark web, drug use in underground casinos, and multiple acts of prostitution."
As he spoke, the police grabbed his arm and led him away.
Xie Shen struggled violently: "Let me go! I want to see my lawyer! I want to sue you for defamation without sufficient evidence!"
The police ignored his threats.
As Xie Shen stepped out of the room, he was suddenly met with Shen Qingbei's resentful gaze.
In an instant, he understood everything.
It turns out that this chess piece was no longer of use to me.
Shen Qingbei walked up to him: "Xie Shen, I have all the evidence you wanted. I've organized it all and handed it over to the police."
Xie Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Qingbei, I'm your father. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for treating me like this?"
Shen Qingbei burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost cried.
"I'd rather my dad be a dog than have even a drop of your blood in my veins. Someone like you doesn't even deserve to be considered family by me."
"you......"
The police escorted Xie Shen past Shen Qingbei: "Stop talking nonsense and behave yourself."
Xie Shen's figure gradually disappeared down the vast corridor as he walked away.
Shen Qingbei closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a waiter's shrill scream came from afar.
"Help!"
Seeing Xie Shen holding a passing waitress hostage, the police officer shouted sternly, "Xie Shen, don't resist! Release her immediately!"
Xie Shen grabbed the woman by the neck and said coldly, "Get me a car, or I'll strangle her."
The waitress trembled violently, pleading, "Please, please say yes! I don't want to die!"
The police officers exchanged a glance and immediately called the front desk downstairs.
"Quickly prepare a car and park it at the entrance."
He then said to Xie Shen, "We have done as you said, please don't hurt her."
Xie Shen, holding the woman hostage, entered the elevator and cautiously made his way to the lobby.
Those around them, seeing this scene, quickly moved away.
Xie Zhongguo and Xie Yuan were also walking into the main hall.
The old man looked at Xie Shen and said sternly, "Xie Shen, stop committing evil deeds and don't drag innocent people into this."
Xie Shen's face turned ashen: "You're the ones who drove me to this dead end, what right do you have to advise me?"
He spoke as he walked towards the door.
He glanced at the car parked outside, walked up to it, and shoved the woman to the ground.
The change happened in that instant.
The police officers who had been lying in wait suddenly appeared, and one of them pulled the woman to safety.
Another policeman stepped forward, about to subdue Xie Shen.
Xie Shen cursed, shoved the policeman aside with his body, and ran across the street without looking up.
With a bang.
A violent crash echoed on the road, and a black figure was thrown into the air.
Let's pause for a moment.
Then came the sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground.
"Oh no, someone's been hit and killed."
The panicked screams of passersby immediately rang out from both sides of the street.
