Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Chapter 1521: Chapter 877: Cutting Straight to the Chase, Exposing the Mastermind (6 Updates)

Geng Dong’s words were vulgar and could really drive a person to death with fury.

"Geng Dong—" Yang Yiyi was so angry she nearly fainted. She rushed over to confront him, but was stopped by the police. "Miss Yang, please calm down."

"Let go of me. How can I calm down? Officer, listen to what he’s saying. How can I stay calm..." Yang Yiyi’s makeup was heavy, her hair disheveled, her face pale as a ghost—hysterical and ferocious.

"Officer, don’t stop her, let her come over. I’m damn sure I won’t beat her to death first. How much stuff you’re wearing was bought with my money? If I raised a dog, it wouldn’t turn around to bite me. Comparing you to a dog..."

"Even the dogs would feel wronged!"

Jiang Chengsi raised an eyebrow. Honestly, he never noticed before how good this Geng Dong was at insulting people.

He was really pressed to the limit, coming up with such a tirade.

If the Jiang brothers’ and Si Qingxiao’s words were soft knives slicing her, then Geng Dong’s actions were like directly stabbing her heart with a knife.

One stab wasn’t enough; he wouldn’t stop until it bled profusely.

Various vulgar curses popped out one after another, making Yang Yiyi tremble all over with rage.

**

The whole office was in chaos due to the argument between these two.

In the end, the police managed to suppress it, and the officers all let out a long sigh of relief.

If they’d known earlier, they wouldn’t have let Geng Dong come over. It was giving them a headache; early in the morning, causing a brawl in the station. If this got to the higher-ups, they’d all get reprimanded.

"Everyone calm down and sit down. If anyone dares to get physical again, you’ll all be locked up inside!" A slightly hot-tempered officer yelled.

The police still carried an intimidating force, so both calmed down. The officers indicated for everyone to sit, and handed Yang Yiyi a tissue to wipe the blood smeared from the crash on her face.

"What do you take this place for? What’s all this noise!" A sigh escaped from the officer as he glanced around the office, seeing the scene back under control. Then he let out a breath, "Can’t you talk it out properly? Do you have to resort to violence?"

Geng Dong snorted, "Officer, you’d better properly investigate her."

Yang Yiyi didn’t expect to see Geng Dong again. He looked fierce, especially after being detained for so long, losing weight. His rage made him even more menacing and scary.

The officer picked up the phone that was thrown on the ground and started browsing the video Si Qingxiao had saved, "Miss Si, where did you find this thing?"

"I had someone get it."

"Someone?" This wasn’t something that could easily see the light of day. The police found it hard to pursue, and the Si Family had just returned to Beijing. Logically speaking, they wouldn’t have the capability, "Is it possible to ask who this person is?"

"The Jing Family."

"..."

The one in North Sichuan? The police took a deep breath. If this thing had come from over there, it certainly wouldn’t be fake. Their family had always played both sides of the law; otherwise, they wouldn’t be notoriously spoken of.

But how would the Si Family know anyone from the Jing Family? They supposedly never had any interaction.

See, never underestimate the networking circle of bigshots. You’ll never know what kind of divine characters are hidden in their circle.

"When did you get to know someone from the Jing Family?" Jiang Chengsi asked in a low voice.

"A few days ago."

"..."

"I’ve been going to the Peach Garden to listen to operas recently." Si Qingxiao looked at him, "You weren’t thinking I was really going for Boss Yun, were you? What are you thinking?"

Jiang Chengsi scratched his head, not daring to speak.

However, Si Qingxiao also partly did it because of Yun Hezhi, after all, she’d set her eyes on his things.

The Si Family were legitimate business people, all their networking was laid out in clear sight.

Some things had their own channels, outsiders would find it hard to uncover anything.

Yang Yiyi initially wanted to argue that the video was fake. But hearing it was retrieved by the Jing Family, she was deflated...

"Miss Yang, the person in this video seems to be you. However, we will still technically compare the video and verify the truth, we wouldn’t slander you." The police sought evidence in handling cases, and wouldn’t be so hasty.

But Yang Yiyi knew in her heart that she couldn’t withstand a police investigation. Gritting her teeth, weighing the pros and cons:

"Officer, if I turn myself in, can my punishment be reduced?"

"Turn yourself in? Why didn’t you do it earlier!" Geng Dong shouted, "You’ve been living freely outside for so long, do you know what kind of days I’ve been living inside?"

"You’re just seeing no way out, so you want to confess."

"Clearly playing until it went wrong, now wanting to beg for forgiveness, I tell you, it’s too late!" Geng Dong sneered in schadenfreude.

"Can you just shut up!" The officer frowned, how are you like someone who hasn’t seen people or spoken for eight hundred years, "If you speak again, we’ll immediately take you back."

"I’ll shut up, I won’t talk anymore." Geng Dong still wanted to watch her, no way would he leave so easily, he immediately acted obediently, quiet as a chicken.

"Then if... if..." Yang Yiyi was also a self-interest seeker, if she was going down, how could she still care about others, or care if they lived or died.

"If what?" The officer pursued, "Can you provide me with your supplier?"

"No, I can report someone."

Everyone: "..."

Just how many melons grew on this vine, report?

"First, I admit it was indeed me who got involved with Geng Dong’s issue..."

"You wretched woman, I knew it—" Geng Dong tried to shout again, but was pinned down and shut up.

"But I didn’t have the channels to get these things, they were provided by someone else." Yang Yiyi covered her mouth and nose with a tissue, her speech a bit mumbled, but she spoke fast, eager to clear her connection.

"Who else?"

"It was You Hongxian."

"You’re full of crap, You Hongxian, why not just say it’s Si Yushan? You’re way too full of it. How did you even know him?" Geng Dong was too anxious.

"You..." The officer fumed, wanting to find tape to seal his mouth, "Tell us, how did you know You Hongxian, and how did he provide you with things."

"He contacted me actively, knowing that Tang Wan and I were classmates, and knowing that I wanted to..." Yang Yiyi glanced at Jiang Chengsi, "He said, he wanted to ruin Fourth Master and Miss Si’s marriage, so he could elevate me."

"The main point is, there seemed to be no link between me and him, no one would suspect us."

Just like the logic of hiring someone to kill, the police investigation would first look at people around the victim, but the hired person, having no grievance or connection, would easily be overlooked.

Si Qingxiao chuckled lightly, "If you’re going to lie, at least make it a bit high-class. That’s my uncle, he even saved my father last night, how could he possibly do such a thing."

"It’s him, indeed, it was him who provided me with your information. As you said, I didn’t know you before, even warned you. If I’d known earlier that you were a Si Family Miss, even ten guts wouldn’t make me dare."

Yang Yiyi was eager to find excuses for herself.

"Even that you like wearing qipao, he told me. He said doing this would surely attract Fourth Master’s attention."

"Last night... the last night’s things were all fake, he arranged it. He made me invite Fourth Master out, then arranged for the motorcycle to crash into someone. He wanted to stay in Beijing and become the savior of your family, climbing smoothly in his later years."

"What I’m saying is true, you can check it."

...

Yang Yiyi struggled to explain, glancing sidewise at the officer, "Officer, does this count as meritorious service?"

The officer: "..."

Meritorious service? This was plainly desperation in a corner.

**

Meanwhile in the hospital, the plate of apples before You Hongxian was already oxidizing a bit. He felt if he stayed any longer with these two brothers from the Jiang Family, he’d go insane.

Fortunately, You Yunzhi appeared just in time, bringing breakfast, seeing Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Yanting, yet she showed little surprise.

She just casually chatted with them.

"... The child should be starting elementary school this autumn, right?" You Yunzhi looked at Jiang Yanting, but he seemed focused on his phone, as if he didn’t hear a thing.

"Brother!" Jiang Jinsang called out.

"Hmm?"

"Aunt is talking to you."

"Sorry, I was reading messages, got too involved." Jiang Yanting’s face was expressionless, even his apology sounded too formal and rigid.

"It’s alright. If you have something to do, you can leave first." You Yunzhi smiled.

"Yes, if there’s something, you can go first. Just your visit is something I’m very thankful for. My health isn’t too problematic." You Hongxian couldn’t wait for these two jinxes to hurry and leave.

"It’s nothing. Someone is just messaging me about the police station. There’s been progress in last night’s motorcycle hit-and-run incident."

You Hongxian’s breath hitched immediately, yet still he acted surprised, "Really? There’s been progress? Those motorcycle gangs outside are getting scarier, too dangerous. If the person is caught, they must be severely punished."

"Mr. You." Jiang Yanting put away his phone, placing one hand into his pocket, "Someone reported..."

"That you’re the one behind it."

"Slander! Who’s spouting nonsense!"

You Hongxian burst out hastily.
