Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 711: Chapter 421: Death

The masked woman was being escorted to the door when Ye Xuan sized her up with a glance. His brows furrowed slightly, "Wuping, take off her mask."

"Yes!" Liang Wuping responded and reached to remove the woman’s mask. She reflexively turned her head to the side, "Don’t!"

"It’s not up to you to decide." Liang Wuping muttered, and with a sudden move, he removed the mask, revealing a delicate face—Liang Jing.

"It really is you!" Ye Xuan shook his head, "You are indeed hell-bent on walking the road of no return."

"It was Luo Ye who forced me, she forced everything, of course I want to live with dignity, but did you guys ever give me a chance?" Liang Jing’s eyes were filled with anger, "I just want to live a good life, is that also wrong?"

Ye Xuan looked at her indifferently, "Wanting to live a good life is not wrong, but doing anything to live a good life, that’s wrong!"

"It’s easy for you to stand there and judge. If I don’t resort to some means, will I have a chance? Luo Ye blocked all the paths, what do you expect me to do?"

"Take her away." Ye Xuan was too lazy to argue with the frenzied Liang Jing and waved his hand to signal Liang Wuping to take her away.

"Wait!" Liang Jing said anxiously.

Liang Wuping looked at Ye Xuan for instruction, and Ye Xuan nodded in consent, "Let her speak."

Liang Jing looked at Ye Xuan nervously, "If I tell everything I know, can I avoid jail?"

"That depends on how substantial your confession is. Take this opportunity to recall what you can, it will be good for you, take her away." Ye Xuan waved his hand again.

Liang Jing sighed and let Liang Wuping lead her away.

That day, when she was abandoned by Hao Feng and left with nothing, a passing man rescued her, who happened to be a security guard at the Jinxin Business Club, and he introduced her to work there as a waitress.

Given her circumstances at the time, she had no choice, but this also gave her another chance to soar. The people coming and going from Jinxin were all officials and tycoons with status. After some interactions, she even caught the eye of Li Fuming and became his mistress.

She understood that Li Fuming chose her because she met his aesthetic preferences, and he valued her ability to handle matters and knew how to control her loyalty.

Even knowing this, she was willing!

She thought that this time, she could get what she wanted, but it turned out that even the Mayor could be unreliable. Could it be that she and Luo Ye had a feud in a past life?

In order to know her friends and enemies, she naturally used Li Fuming’s connections to investigate Luo Ye and learned that Ye Xuan was Luo Ye’s fiancé. Hence, she had such lamentations.

...

Because of Zeng Yu’s defection, Ye Xuan had brought down Li Fuming’s underground stronghold. Without their leader, how could the minions still have the heart to resist to the end? The massive "underworld cleanup" operation came to a quiet close without much noise.

And the now-conscious Yao Qian had also revealed the person who sent her to Zeng Yu’s side. No one could have imagined that the big fish hidden in the shadows was the retired Song Lianming, who was also Song Xiaoyang’s grandpa.

When Ye Xuan and his team arrived at the Song Family home it was already three o’clock in the morning. The family’s housekeeper opened the door in a daze, and before she could come to her senses, the group had already rushed in like a whirlwind.

"What’s happened, what’s the matter?"

"What are you doing?"

"Get out, who let you in? Do you know whose house this is?"

"..."

The scolding of the nanny startled Mr. and Mrs. Song Aiguo into wakefulness.

When the couple shambled out in their slippers, they happened upon Ye Xuan knocking on Old Master Song’s bedroom door.

Mr. Song Aiguo’s face flushed with anger: "What are you doing? Just because my father has retired doesn’t mean you can bully him like this!"

Ye Xuan showed his badge coolly: "We are executing official duties. Please do not obstruct us."

"My dad is over sixty years old. No matter how urgent the matter, it’s unnecessary to bother him at this time, isn’t it? ’Out of sight, out of mind’—this saying is too true. He’s barely retired and you’re already treating him like this!"

"Please cooperate." Ye Xuan said, knocking on the door a few more times. Still without any response from inside, he turned to Mr. and Mrs. Song Aiguo, "Please find the keys and open the bedroom door."

"You... you’re being unreasonable..." Mr. Song Aiguo trembled, unable to articulate anything else.

"Then I’ll proceed without further courtesy." As he spoke, Ye Xuan nodded at Liang Wuping, who quickly inserted a thin wire into the lock. With a click, the door swung open.

Upon turning on the light and seeing Old Master Song’s condition, Ye Xuan’s brows knotted tightly, "Dad!" "Dad!" Both Mr. and Mrs. Song Aiguo cried out almost simultaneously.

They saw Old Master Song with a purple complexion, the pillow stained.

Ye Xuan strode to the bedside, tested for breathing, and shook his head at the Song couple: "He has taken an excess of medication. Grieve properly."

The Song couple collapsed beside the bed, eyes void of focus. "Grandpa!" Song Xiaoyang ran in crying, finally snapping the Song couple out of their daze. Mrs. Song, shivering, yelled out, "Call 120, hurry!"

"Why...?" Mr. Song Aiguo looked at Ye Xuan, bewildered, "Please, tell me why. How could my father do this? He was fine this morning, though he seemed a bit upset in the afternoon, but what could have driven him to this?"

Ye Xuan sighed and handed over a document, "Take a look at this."

After a long moment, Mr. Song Aiguo’s gaze moved from the document, staring blankly at Ye Xuan, "How is this possible?"

"That is the reality. Otherwise, why would he choose this path?"

"Did Dad do it to protect us?" Mr. Song Aiguo, wiping the continuous stream of tears, "I understand. He did it to protect us, it must be so."

"Yes!" Ye Xuan sighed deeply, "The trail ends at the old master, and it’s broken again. Director Song, please try to recall, did the old master ever encounter any problem he couldn’t handle?"

"No," Mr. Song Aiguo shook his head, "Although father eventually became the Provincial Party Secretary, he always dealt with the world indifferently, dismissing any troubles with a smile.

In our eyes, our father was someone who couldn’t be stumped by anything... Who would have thought, he would do such a thing?"

Amidst the crying of the Song family, Ye Xuan gestured to his team and started to search Old Master Song’s bedroom and bookroom.

Song Xiaoyang, sobbing loudly, pushed at Ye Xuan, "Are you... aren’t you too inhumane? My grandpa is like this now, and yet you still treat him this way?"

Ye Xuan looked at her solemnly, "Do you want your grandpa to die in vain?"

"No, my grandpa is so kind, so righteous. How could he do something so unconscionable? I don’t believe it, I absolutely cannot believe it!" Song Xiaoyang cried while shaking her head.

"Mr. Ye!" Yang Xing approached.

"What is it?" Ye Xuan turned to look at him.
