Chapter 714 - 695: Not a Single One Can Escape
"The assassin was hired by us, and we hired them to kill Qin Mobai! The first attempt failed, so just now Changqing and I were planning another attempt! Who knew he would notice!" Qin Rui Li didn’t hide her crime in the slightest and spoke openly in front of the Qin Family.
As soon as Qin Rui Li finished speaking, the side hall erupted in chattering discussions.
They talked about how Qin Rui Li could ignore familial ties and target Qin Mobai, who was her own nephew!
They talked about what a scandal this was for the Qin Family, and if outsiders found out, they would surely be mocked!
...
Much was said, but no one could come up with a way to deal with Qin Rui Li.
Qin Mobai, who had been sitting there silently, suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.
Most of the Qin Family members were already won over by Qin Mobai’s tactics and felt he was fit to be the Family Head, so when he raised his hand, many quieted down.
Others, though not particularly in agreement with Qin Mobai as the Family Head, realized there was no one more suitable than him, so they also quieted down.
Qin Mobai cleared his throat and said, "Today isn’t really the right time to discuss these matters, but if they’re not resolved, Grandmother’s funeral can’t proceed smoothly. As for my aunt hiring a killer to murder me, I’ve thought it over carefully, and I can’t call the police."
Everyone nodded, thinking that if the police got involved, the Qin Family would be thrust into the limelight, and those with ill intentions would seize the opportunity to bring them down amidst internal chaos.
Internal strife and external threats can’t coexist.
Or neither can exist.
"But indeed, my aunt and uncle have done something inexcusable and should be punished."
"Qin Mobai, if you have a problem, come at me. My parents are already old!" Xi Siwei immediately stood in front of Qin Rui Li and Xi Changqing, trying to take the fall for everything.
"Siwei, what are you thinking? This has nothing to do with you, don’t get involved!" Qin Rui Li knew her time was up and couldn’t drag her son down with her, "This matter was done by Changqing and me, it has nothing to do with Siwei at all! If you want to punish, punish the two of us! Let Siwei go!"
Even now, Qin Rui Li was still considering her son. All her life she hoped Xi Siwei could succeed.
But instead, dragon he could not become, she got herself dragged down!
"Mom and Dad, how could you..."
"What are you doing? We have nothing to do with you, get lost!" Qin Rui Li seemed almost crazed trying to push Xi Siwei away. It looked like she wanted him to leave, but she was actually protecting him.
"Aunt, don’t worry, after settling with you, I’ll settle with Xi Siwei; no one will escape." Qin Mobai’s words made Qin Rui Li slump to the ground.
No one will escape...
It wasn’t just Qin Rui Li who felt a chill down their spine, everyone in the side hall did too.
Lou Xi looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Qin Mobai, knowing that he was one to avenge every grievance.
How Qin Mobai dealt with Qin Rui Li and Xi Changqing afterward, Lou Xi didn’t hear very clearly.
It seemed they were confined in their villa, never to set foot outside for the rest of their lives.
At least not while Qin Mobai is alive.
That very night, the Qin Family servants installed iron bars on the windows of Qin Rui Li’s villa to prevent them from escaping.
Qin Rui Li’s villa had now become a living prison for her and Xi Changqing.
