Chapter 525: Chapter 526: Somewhat Annoyed Gu Junzhu
“You…” Shi Shijun said, his face beet red with fury. He abruptly turned to Ye Xinglan. “Ah Lan, this is the well-bred dog raised by your Ye Family. Not only does she show ingratitude, but she also bites the hand that feeds her!”
Ye Xinglan’s face darkened abruptly. “Brother Jun, watch your words. Beibei is my sister, not a dog of my family. Think before you speak!”
Shi Shijun trembled with rage. “What? Do you want to be an enemy of the Shi family for some bastard you picked up halfway?”
Ye Xinglan’s expression became even colder, “Brother Jun, I’ll say it again, Beibei is not a dog, nor a bastard. She is my sister!”
“Fine! Fine!” Shi Shijun nodded repeatedly, abruptly pointing at Shi Qianying, who was being held by Shi Qianling. “Even if Ye Xingbei is your sister, she can’t treat Qianying like this, right? Since you insist that Ye Xingbei is your sister, then let your sister give our Shi family an explanation!”
Ye Xinglan paused for a moment: “What explanation do you want?”
Shi Shijun gritted his teeth: “I want to bring her back with me. Whatever she did to Qianying, we will do the same to her.”
“That’s not possible,” Ye Xinglan categorically declined. “She is my sister. As long as I’m here, I will not allow anyone to harm her!”
“Brother Lan!” Shi Qianling suddenly cried out in sorrow, her face upturned, her eyes shimmering with tears. “Brother Lan, it’s not that we intentionally embarrass Beibei, but seeing Xiao Ying so hurt, don’t you feel sad? Beibei made Xiao Ying look like this. If we don’t give the Shi family an explanation, how can our Shi family cultivate a presence in the country of Y? If the matter gets out, where is the face of our Shi family?”
Looking at the sorrowful Shi Qianling, her face covered with tears, Ye Xinglan was caught between a rock and a hard place.
He didn’t want to see Ye Xingbei get hurt.
But with Shi Qianying being hurt like this, if they don’t give the Shi family an explanation, the Shi family will not let it go.
As Shi Qianling had said, Shi Qianying had been nearly crippled. If the Shi family cannot obtain justice, they will definitely be laughed at.
As a matter concerning the reputation of the family, even the Shi family’s elders would not let it go.
Ye Xinglan looked at Shi Qianying, then at Ye Xingbei, struggling with his decision like never before.
Seeing Ye Xinglan indecisive and obviously leaning towards protecting Ye Xingbei, not wanting to probe further, Shi Qianling lowered her eyes, masking her dissatisfaction.
She bit her lip, and softly said: “In that case, let’s call the police! Let the police handle it fairly and impartially. Brother Lan, you don’t have to get stuck between the Shi family and Beibei.”
Ye Xinglan immediately opposed: “We can’t call the police!”
if Gu Junzhu’s kidnappings and torture of Shi Qianying were exposed to the police, even Gu Junzhu wouldn’t fare well.
If the incident escalated because of Ye Xingbei, and Ye Xingbei confessed to the police and said it was all her doing, even if Gu Junzhu and he protected her, Ye Xingbei would get at least three to five years.
If the case went to the police station, with the Shi family’s pressure, they wouldn’t be able to get the police and the court to act unfairly. Ye Xingbei’s life would be ruined.
Thinking of this, he became a little irritated with Gu Junzhu for his unrestrained indulgence.
He did things without considering the consequences and openly kidnapped Shi Qianying.
Yes, he admitted that Gu Junzhu’s men were very efficient. Even with him and the Shi family working together, they had spent more than a day and a half before they found Shi Qianying.
But no matter what, they found her!
This is country Y, it was the Shi family and the Ye family’s home court.
