Chapter 950: Meng Yu Disappeared
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Guan family’s contributions to the nation were undeniable and acknowledged by the masses. However, this did not mean that Guan Lei could betray his country, nor did it justify the Guan family resorting to assassinating a general who had dedicated himself to the nation.
In such a situation, some extremists had already started organizing small forces to seek justice against the Guan family.
Even with the testimonies of the general’s wife and children, vehemently affirming the impossibility of the Guan family’s involvement, it failed to dispel the suspicions held by the public.
Even the Guan family’s assets were under suspicion, questioned as potential gains from Guan Yi’s abuse of power.
“These people are clearly talking nonsense!” Shen Yan frowned, remarking, “Guan Yi originally came from a business background, and only entered the military and politics after the alliance with the Ye family. The family business was handed over to Ye Long and later to Guan Yan. Not to mention, the Ye family was already prominent. Isn’t it normal for them to accumulate such assets?”
“Hubby, where there’s a will, there’s a way. These people are deliberately tarnishing the Guan family’s reputation, using public opinion to suppress them. Mark my words, once there’s a new election or the recommendation of an acting general begins, if the chosen person has any connection to the Guan family, it will be exposed. They won’t be able to take office, and the one eventually promoted will be someone associated with the opposition,” Lu Shan said solemnly.
“I’m more concerned that the Guan family might completely fall in this incident. They might even be labeled as traitors and spies. I received information that some civilian organizations have gathered to besiege the Guan family. 1 fear the Guan family might be eliminated in the end,” Shen Yan sighed.
Shen Xi’s expression was also grim. At this point, the situation had escalated beyond a minor issue. At this rate, Meng Yu’s identity might be exposed, and he would also face dire consequences.
Even though Meng Yu and the Guan family weren’t particularly close, once these people gained enough power, it could not only erase the Guan family from the political scene but also uproot them entirely.
Shen Xi immediately picked up her phone and tried calling Meng Yu, but several attempts went unanswered.
Even Shen Yan and Lu Shan noticed Shen Xi’s unease.
Shen Xi then called Li Zhe. As soon as the call connected, she anxiously asked,
“Li Zhe, is Meng Yu with you?”
Li Zhe on the other end seemed flustered, his voice carrying a sense of helplessness. “No, he was here just a moment ago. 1 went to get some water, and when I returned, he was gone. However, he left a note, saying he’s leaving for a while, and asked me not to worry or look for him.”
Shen Xi’s heart tightened. Meng Yu must have learned about the Guan family’s situation.
She knew that once Meng Yu knew what happened to the Guan family, he wouldn’t just stand idly by.
Shen Xi asked in a somewhat doubtful tone, “Are you sure Meng Yu left on his own? Is the note really written by Meng Yu?”
Li Zhe firmly replied, “Yes, I’m sure! I was only gone for a short while, there were no signs of a struggle in the room, and the handwriting on the note was Ah Yu l s. So, Ah Yu left on his own.’
Hearing Li Zhe’s resolute tone, Shen Xi felt a slight relief.
At least he hadn’t been taken away by force; Meng Yu should be safe for now.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xi fell into silence and contemplation. She pondered whether there was anything she could do at this point.
Just then, the doorbell rang. The Shen family of three exchanged glances, and Shen Yan stood up to check the real-time surveillance at the entrance.
When he saw that it was Gu Chen with a group of people, Shen Yan was surprised. He turned and said, “Xi, Gu Chen is here.”
Shen Xi and Shen Yan shared a similar look of surprise, wondering what Gu Chen intended by coming at this time.
If the mastermind behind this incident was from the Gu family, could it be that Gu Chen intended to use her to manipulate Guan Lei?
Thinking about this, a sense of betrayal seemed to creep into Shen Xi’s mind, piercing through the neural pathways of her thoughts with a painful jolt.
At this moment, Shen Xi felt an urge to curse, a tumult of emotions—betrayal, change of heart, pain, and suspicion toward Gu Chen—intensifying the ache within her.
If she ever found the person responsible for all this, she vowed to make them taste the bitterness she was going through!
Even if it was Gu Chen, he would be no exception!
“Xi, should we open the door?” Shen Yan asked, looking at his daughter. Shen Xi got up to take a look and saw that there was an obvious standoff between the people arranged by Xue Li and Gu Chen’s group. Shen Xi directly asked, “Gu Chen? What are you here for?”
