Shadows rapidly overtook the depths of his eyes as he stood up and dialed another number, "Xi Yan."
"Speed up the attack on the Xi family. When the old man wakes up, I’ll give him a unique gift, the best kind that could anger him to death."
Xi Yan chuckled on the other end, his voice captivating, "Everything is ready, big brother. Overthrowing the Xi family is a piece of cake now. It’s even easier to destroy them. Wait for my word. I’ve been wanting to go back and reunite with Baobao and Beibei."
"Mm, I’m here, waiting for you and Xi Yang," said Xi Nian, breaking into laughter, "never to go back again."
"Okay," Xi Yan’s voice sounded somewhat choked up, as did Xi Yang’s.
Xi Yang said from the other end, "Big brother, buy a gift for Zhizhi for me; I’m worried he might forget me."
Xi Nian, "He won’t, he will remember you both."
Netizens were highly interested in the case, wondering what the real reason behind Fu Yuran’s death was. As the official arrest of Yinchao and Fu Bairan was announced, the truth drew closer, and the fervor reached its climax.
Everyone was waiting for an answer.
Fu Yuran’s death was indeed too sudden, and Yinchao’s explanation had no ground to stand on.
How had the authorities glossed over this matter before then?
What great conspiracy lay hidden behind?
A myriad of questions arose, causing headaches and keeping the heat of discussion at a constant high.
This kind of incident couldn’t be suppressed, nor was there any way to, as the Yinchao who appeared before the public was so swollen in the face, he looked like a pig, making it hard to remember what he used to look like.
Fu Bairan was the same, disheveled and squalid, his appearance greatly diminished.
In this period, the two had suffered no small amount of torment. Yuran didn’t know what methods Bo Yan had used to make the two confess everything, but she thought Bo Yan’s methods were quite good.
In front of the cameras, they clearly confessed how they had plotted against Yuran, poisoned her.
Assuming the identities of the closest kin.
Although someone manipulated them from behind and gave them a lot of money, nothing could negate the fact that they were heartless and vicious. Fu Yuran’s fans were filled with indignant outrage.
Once upon a time, Fu Yuran had single-handedly kept Yinran Entertainment afloat, shielding Yinchao and Fu Bairan under her wings. But those two had secretly betrayed her, cold-hearted and ungrateful, leading to Fu Yuran’s death.
Fu Yuran was a rare pure presence in the industry; had she survived, she might have contributed many more quality works. But now, all of that was destroyed by two heartless people.
Tumultuous denunciations ensued.
The two confessed their crimes without deception, and the authorities made a swift decision. Charged with premeditated murder, they were sentenced to death.
While the public received the final verdict, they were more concerned with who was behind it all. Fu Yuran was an orphan and, in theory, shouldn’t have angered any powerful figures.
But then, an explosive bit of news emerged.
Cherry Blossoms Smiling V: As things have developed to this point, I have a question, it’s a bit melodramatic but I think it’s fitting:
Imagine if Fu Yuran wasn’t an orphan, but instead the daughter of some prominent family, wouldn’t that explain the whole series of grudges and grievances?
Cherry Blossoms Smiling was a big-name news blogger known for reasoning, with a solid fan base due to the articles previously posted on the official Weibo. The pieces of deduction written by Cherry Blossoms Smiling had been fulfilled one after another, so this new speculation quickly spread across the internet.
It also sparked a fresh wave of attention, as the entire nation guessed at the melodramatic identity behind everything.
Yuran saw this and chuckled, curling up a bit more into Bo Yan’s embrace, "Qige, honestly, I feel like at this point, I have really come to understand my struggles. Back then, I was indeed blind, raising such two heartless creatures."
"Mm, it’s all over now."
Bo Yan pulled her close, his thin lips kissing her forehead, "Baobao, from now on, you won’t have to face these distressing issues anymore. You have me, and I will take care of everything for you."
Yuran smiled, "I know."
But the years of choked emotions nearing their end brought forth a sense of justice served, quite exhilarating.
Those two scum, not worth the grief if they died.
