☆, Chapter 243 Turning the Tables
"What can I do to her? Do you really think she's some kind of pampered princess? That everyone has to revolve around her?"
His words made no attempt to conceal his disdain for Bai Zhuwei.
But with the evidence right in front of him, Si Yanxiao saw his current sarcasm as nothing more than pointless sophistry.
After all, in his heart, Bai Zhuwei was still as innocent and kind as she was six years ago. How could she joke about her innocence?
"The facts are right in front of you. Do you think she would frame you?!" Si Yanxiao questioned sharply.
Upon hearing this, a flash of coldness crossed Si Jiliang's eyes. He was about to retort when he remembered Bai Zhuwei's deep scheming and the scene before she left flashed through his mind.
Since Si Yanxiao came to her door to vent her anger, she must have already embellished his story. She was now speechless and there was no point in saying anything more.
Thinking of this, Si Jiliang pursed his lips, inwardly marveling at Bai Zhuwei's ruthless nature.
Seeing Si Jiliang lower his eyes and remain silent, Si Yanxiao assumed that he had tacitly agreed. His brows furrowed, and a flash of anger crossed his face. He then rebuked sharply, "What? Since you can't get the Si family into your hands, you're starting to target the people around me?"
"Si Jiliang, aren't you afraid of doing such a despicable thing and making the old man feel disheartened when he finds out?"
Si Yanxiao looked disdainful and mocked coldly, his anger rising in his heart. He forcibly suppressed the urge to attack and treated him with cold eyes.
Seeing that he only knew how to make sarcastic remarks, Si Jiliang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he replied in a cold voice: "Heh... You start to wrongly accuse others without distinguishing right from wrong? That's really your usual style."
"You seem quite concerned about that woman, but have you ever thought about Jiang Ran and the two children?"
His words were full of sarcasm. Si Yanxiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied coldly, "What does it have to do with you!"
For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate, each arguing their point.
Each side stuck to its own version of events, and neither was willing to back down first.
Just then, the sound of a police siren rang out outside the door, followed by the ringing of the doorbell.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Seeing this, Si Jiliang instantly understood that this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, if he went to jail, the old man probably wouldn't let him off the hook.
Si Yanxiao is thoughtful and meticulous in his actions, and he won't leave himself open to criticism.
Thinking of this, Si Jiliang suddenly sneered, "That woman is really good at turning the tables, quite the skill!"
Having said that, she ignored Si Yanxiao's expression and turned to leave to open the door.
After the police officers entered the room and verified their identities, they immediately made an emergency arrest on the pretext of being reported for harassment and attempted rape.
Si Yanxiao frowned slightly as he watched them arrest people, without saying a word.
Si Jiliang did not offer any explanation, knowing that saying anything more at this point would be futile, and could only accept the investigation.
After he was taken away, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips and called Bai Zhuwei directly. Before he could ask any questions, Bai Zhuwei took the initiative to explain the whole story.
After he left, she thought about it and realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. Alarmed, she went to the police station to report the case.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao frowned slightly and was about to speak when Bai Zhuwei interrupted him.
"Ayan, I'm so scared..."
Si Yanxiao's words, which were about to come out, were immediately cut off. He originally wanted to ask her why she didn't discuss it beforehand, but since she was the one involved, her fear made everything understandable.
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao lowered his brow slightly, whispered a few words of comfort, and then hung up the phone, his expression unreadable.
Bai Zhuwei's decision to report the crime to the police was completely unexpected. Si Yanxiao's imprisonment will likely stir up another bloody storm.
Meanwhile, one thing after another happened, with someone behind the scenes manipulating everything, but they had no clue whatsoever.
So Jiang Ran continued to investigate the evil aura following the original clues.
Previously, due to the old man's poor health, the investigation led to Bai Zhuwei, but they had no choice but to stop.
Things are now spiraling out of control, and if we don't take action soon, we risk being led by the nose.
Moreover, the current situation is complex and complicated, with their enemies in the open and those in the shadows, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Jiang Ran continued investigating the evil energy in the original direction, but unexpectedly discovered that she could not find any information about Bai Zhuwei's birth date and time.
It was clearly deliberately concealed, and someone even tried to use the hair on her body to investigate with talismans, only to find that it had also been completely cleaned up, leaving no trace.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a cold glint flashed across her face as she sensed that danger lurked all around her.
Deep down, he firmly believed that Bai Zhuwei was involved in this matter, but he missed the best time to investigate because he underestimated her.
The fact that all these traces could be erased shows that there was a powerful figure secretly helping Bai Zhuwei behind the scenes.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so constrained in every way.
Just as she was investigating for a long time without any results, her phone, which was placed aside, suddenly rang.
Jiang Ran glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then swiped to answer.
Before she could even speak, the person opposite her introduced himself: "Hello, Ms. Jiang, I am Mr. Si Jiliang's assistant."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes. Before she could correct his form of address, she looked puzzled but still nodded slightly and replied in a low voice, "Is there something you need?"
The assistant's eyes narrowed, and he went straight to explain to Jiang Ran about Si Jiliang's imprisonment.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly asked, "How could this be? What happened?"
The assistant pursed his lips slightly, then slowly revealed what he knew. He then explained, "President Si was worried about what might happen, so he told me about it in advance. As agreed, if anything unforeseen happens, he will ring my phone three times and then hang up."
Jiang Ran listened to his explanation, nodded slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, and a hint of worry flashed across her face.
Unexpectedly, one problem after another arose, and in the end, it even implicated Si Jiliang.
She knew Si Jiliang all too well what kind of person he was. Why would he lay a hand on a woman as scheming as Bai Zhuwei? It was probably because he was caught off guard and fell into her trap.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran felt a sudden surge of annoyance, and then replied in a low voice, "Leave this matter to me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
In this situation, the reason was that I needed to find someone to help me, so I drove straight to the company.
Since Gu Nan made a special effort to clarify her identity last time, everyone in the group has become familiar with Jiang Ran. Upon seeing her arrive, they all became extremely alert, helping her press the button for the private elevator and escorting her all the way to the president's office.
After lightly knocking twice on the door with slightly bent fingers, a faint voice called out from inside the room, "Come in!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran pushed open the door and entered, where she saw Si Yanxiao sitting at his desk, holding a pen and processing documents.
Si Yanxiao didn't hear anyone speak for a long time, and a look of doubt flashed across his face. He then looked up and was surprised to see that it was Jiang Ran who had suddenly arrived.
He raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing across his face, and asked in astonishment, "How did you get here?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing across her face, and replied in a low voice, "I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Help?" Si Yanxiao raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Ran to offer to help.
However, she immediately realized the meaning behind her words, and her eyes narrowed as she coldly said, "If you want to talk about Si Jiliang, then you'd better not open your mouth." With that one sentence, she shut Jiang Ran down.
Jiang Ran hadn't expected him to have guessed her intentions. She pursed her lips, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Why?"
"The matter hasn't been investigated thoroughly yet, so how can we listen to Bai Zhuwei's one-sided story?"
"Besides, if the old man finds out about this, we won't be able to explain it to him!"
Jiang Ran subtly conveyed the stakes to Si Yanxiao in her words, then lowered her eyelids, remaining silent and waiting for Si Yanxiao's reply.
Si Yanxiao understood her unspoken meaning, but he also found her words extremely grating, as if she were arguing with him on behalf of Si Jiliang, even going so far as to bring up the old man to threaten him.
