Chapter 420: Episode 0419 Enjoying by Oneself (Seven Updates)_1
Su Wei was shocked. He had been keeping a low profile, afraid to utter even half a word. He didn’t expect Ye Xiong to turn the tables and set his sights on him.
“Ye Jun, whom are you referring to?”
“The Young Master of the Su Family, Su Wei.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was once again in an uproar.
Commissioning a murder was a grave crime. Even if it didn’t result in beheading, one could easily end up spending the rest of their days in prison.
“Ye Jun, don’t slander me with your filthy mouth. Be careful, or I’ll sue you for defamation,” Su Wei stepped forward and shouted sternly.
“As if you’re worth slandering. Who do you think you are?” Ye Xiong’s gaze fell upon him, and he said coldly, “A silent dog is the one that bites, and the deadliest snakes are those who hide the deepest. You think by keeping a low profile, by not stepping forward, I will let you off?”
“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Su Wei started to feel guilty.
At this point, Miao Chunhua stepped forward, shielding her husband, and said, “Mr. Ye Jun, we should talk about hard evidence. With you casting aspersions like this, I reckon it won’t be good for your reputation either.”
Ye Xiong’s eyes settled on Miao Chunhua, observing that the woman had a pair of triangular eyes and a pointed chin; her face was sharp, similar to that of a vixen.
As the saying goes, the face is a reflection of the heart. A woman with such a snake-like face was unlikely to be a simple character.
“You want evidence? That couldn’t be easier.”

Ye Xiong clapped his hands, and a figure emerged from the crowd. When he appeared in front of Su Wei and Miao Chunhua, the couple was completely dumbfounded.
The person who appeared was none other than Duan Wu, the boss of San Xing She, whom they had sent to kill Yang Xinyi.
They never expected Duan Wu to show up here.
“Duan Wu, I have nothing more to say. Handle this as you see fit,” Ye Xiong said indifferently.
Duan Wu knew very well that from the moment he crossed paths with this calamity, he was completely doomed. If he refused to testify, he might very well end up dead. Since Yang Xinyi was unharmed, at worst, he would face a year or two in prison. With his connections, he might be out in a year and a half. That’s why he decided to help Ye Xiong.
“Duan Wu, what the hell is going on?” Li Song asked.
Duan Wu and Li Song were familiar with each other; one embodying righteousness, the other evilness. One a soldier, the other a bandit. Both were well-known in Capital City.
“Officer Li, I confess, I am guilty. Su Wei transferred three million to me to capture Yang Xinyi. I didn’t expect that someone would rescue her midway through the attempt…” Duan Wu briefly explained the situation.
His words stirred up waves of shock among the onlookers, as nobody expected such a turn of events.
However, on second thought, such an incident seemed plausible. Su Wei, being the biological son of Su Zhentian and the future successor of the Su Family, might fear another woman usurping his inheritance and therefore send someone to kill and silence her.
“Duan Wu, don’t spit blood! I didn’t do anything,” Su Wei said frantically.
“If I’m spitting blood, Su Wei, do you think I don’t know what kind of people you and your wife are?”
“What evidence do you have?”
“I have recorded all our phone conversations, including the evidence of your wire transfer to me. I didn’t even leave myself a way out. Do you think I’ve been messing around for the past dozen years?” Duan Wu said with a cold laugh.
“Take them all in for a thorough interrogation,” Li Song ordered.
Three police officers came and handcuffed Duan Wu, Su Wei, and Miao Chunhua, preparing to take them away.
No one could have anticipated that, while Guan Liuzhen called the police to arrest Ye Xiong, not only did she fail to catch him, but her own son and daughter-in-law were arrested instead. The irony was inescapable.
“Please, I beg you, let my son go,” Guan Liuzhen ran over quickly, clutching Li Song’s clothes desperately, “My son would never commission a murder. You must have made a mistake.”
“Whether there’s a mistake or not, we’ll know after the investigation. Take them away.”
Guan Liuzhen knew full well that Li Song’s ruthlessness stemmed from his fear of Ye Jun.
She only had this one son, and since she had no affection left for her husband, her entire future hinged on her son. Therefore, she could no longer care about her dignity and went over to cling to Ye Xiong’s trouser leg, crying, “Ye Jun, it was my fault for not recognizing your worth and offending you. I beg you, please let my son go.”
Ye Xiong withdrew his foot and ignored her.
Guan Liuzhen, seeing that Ye Xiong ignored her, ran to Yang Xinyi’s side, “Xinyi, I was wrong. For the sake of our future together, please spare my son. After all, he is your half-brother.”
Yang Xinyi also ignored her, remembering her arrogance from before, which made her angry.
“Su Yue, come here, beg your sister,” Guan Liuzhen turned and shouted.
“Mom, I can’t,” Su Yue couldn’t take that humiliation.
“Do you still want to save your brother?” Guan Liuzhen said sternly.
Su Yue had no choice but to approach Yang Xinyi, “Sister, I beg you to spare my brother. I was wrong before.”
The mother and daughter, who had been so haughty before, were now begging Yang Xinyi like dogs, a pitiable sight to behold.
At that moment, Yang Xinyi didn’t feel much pleasure from revenge, but rather pity for the two of them.
“He hasn’t done anything bad, and has nothing to fear; but if he has, no one can help him, and the law will judge him justly,” Yang Xinyi said.
The two women collapsed to the ground, pale as death, only able to watch as the police took Su Wei and Miao Chunhua away.
The people below stepped aside to make way for the police as they escorted the individuals away.
No one expected such an incident to occur at Su Zhentian’s birthday celebration; it was just like a play.
One could guess that tomorrow’s headlines would be all about the Su Family’s affairs, and by then, the name Ye Jun would inevitably return to the public’s casual conversations.
Su Zhentian, standing on the stage, watched everything happening, regretting that things had ended this way.
He regretted deeply; after all, blood is thicker than water. Su Wei’s act of hiring a hitman was driven by jealousy. If he, Su Zhentian, had managed things better, it wouldn’t have come to this.
At that moment, Yang Xinyi approached him.
“Xinyi, dad is sorry,” Su Zhentian choked up.
“Do you know what I wanted to do when I came up here?”
“Did you want us to acknowledge our father-daughter relationship?”
“I wanted to give you a good slap, but now your son has been arrested, and you and your wife are at odds. It’s tough enough, so I’ll spare you out of pity. Dream on about me returning to the Su Family.”
“Xinyi, dad…” Su Zhentian reached out to pull her hand.
Yang Xinyi pushed his hand away and walked down the stage, ready to leave this place.
Ye Xiong followed closely behind. He couldn’t leave her alone in her current state.
“Don’t follow me,” Yang Xinyi turned and shouted.
“Xinyi, don’t get agitated,” Ye Xiong said anxiously.
Yang Xinyi felt suffocated, her mind full of jumbled thoughts. She just wanted to find a place to be alone and sort through the mess in her head.
Ye Xiong still followed her but kept a certain distance.
Suddenly, Yang Xinyi ran towards the door, eager to leave this heart-wrenching place as quickly as possible.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she bumped into someone.
When she looked up and saw the person in front of her, she couldn’t help but scream.
Ye Xiong’s heart leaped, and he quickly chased after her.
