Chapter 354 Why are you back?
Chapter 354 Why are you back?
"Dad, is Xiaoyuan's new wife, Yuru, right here?" Yun Wenzhi replied from across the room.
"He's not here," Yun Zhonghe replied instinctively. "Tell me first, why did you suddenly come back?"
"Dad, could you please have them open the door for me? Let us in."
"How many people do you have there?" Yun Zhonghe asked again.
“It’s just me and Jingliu here; everyone else is waiting at the hospital entrance. Dad, please let me in first.”
"Okay." Yun Zhonghe hung up the phone and turned to Shan Shi, who was closest to him, and said, "Shan Shi, you're close by, go open the door. Your parents are outside."
"Okay grandpa."
As soon as the couple entered the house, their three siblings, Xin, Shi, and Ren, surrounded them, warmly inquiring about their well-being. Seeing that they were carrying some things, they readily took them from them.
Shan Shi: "Dad, Mom, are you done with the important national affairs?"
Believer: "Mom and Dad, are you on holiday?"
Shanren: "Where are the bodyguards? Are we going on an incognito trip this time?"
……
Chi Jingliu and Yun Wenzhi held the three of them down. Yun Wenzhi said seriously, "The three of you should sit down properly. This isn't a holiday break. We have important business to attend to."
"Oh~"
The three siblings, Shinji and his sister, returned to their seats somewhat dejectedly and remained silent.
"Mom and Dad, Bianzhi, Zhuxian, we came back this time to take Yuru with us. Where is she?" Yun Wenzhi asked as he stood in front of everyone, quickly scanning them over several times.
Situ Ningzhai stared intently into Yun Wenzhi's eyes and asked, "Where are you taking her? You two didn't even come back when Xiaoyuan and Xiaoru got engaged, you've never even seen Xiaoru, you don't know her at all. Why are you taking her away as soon as you get back?"
“That’s right, why are you in such a hurry? You two sit down first. You’ve finally come back, sit with your family.” Yun Zhonghe said, then pointed to a few chairs next to him and instructed Shanxin and Shanren, “You two brothers, bring a chair for your parents to sit on.”
“Yes, brother, please tell us why you suddenly want to take Xiaoru away. Otherwise, we won’t feel at ease and we’re worried about this,” Yun Bianzhi said, looking at him.
At this moment, Shanren and Shanxin brought over a chair from someone nearby and greeted Yunwen and his wife, saying, "Mom and Dad, please sit down. We can discuss this together. There are secrets that we can't tell each other. If they are leaked and something happens, we'll all be in trouble together."
Yun Wenzhi sighed and turned to look at Chi Jingliu. "Jingliu, please have a seat."
The couple sat down, but instead of explaining why they wanted to take Yu Ru away, they asked about Yunji Star's situation.
"Zhu Xian, how is Xiao Yuan? Is he not seriously injured?" Chi Jingliu asked.
“He almost died. He's still under observation and needs careful care. If he's not treated properly, he could develop health problems and not live long,” Sang Zhuxian replied. This always radiant woman, after experiencing the near-fatal tragedy of losing her child, had a colder gaze, like expired glass shrouded in a thin, lingering mist. Those eyes, once as warm as moonlight, quietly illuminating the earth, so deep and gentle, offering a silent, comforting embrace.
“Xiao Yuan was pushed to the brink of death but was pulled back, which means he wasn’t meant to die. He’s bound to have good fortune after surviving such a calamity. He’ll get better. Zhu Xian, you two shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourselves. Take good care of yourselves so you can take good care of Xiao Yuan,” Chi Jingliu comforted him.
Sang Zhuxian nodded, "Yes, I'm slowly getting better now, and I've been able to sit up these past few days."
"Ask away, Jingliu, what happened that made you suddenly come back? Tell us quickly, don't change the subject," Yun Zhonghe suddenly said.
“Dad, we’ve seen the messages in the family group chat. You said that Yu Ru accidentally killed several important figures while trying to save Xiao Yuan and his friends. Actually, the number is much higher than that, isn’t it? The higher-ups have received information about what Yu Ru did and have a general understanding of the situation. This incident has shaken the political foundation of China and reversed the direction of the entire country. The central government has urgently formed a special task force with various departments to handle this matter. Originally, I shouldn’t have been the one to take Yu Ru away, because there might be bad people among the masses, and I was afraid something might happen to Yu Ru, so I specifically applied to take on this task,” Yun Wenzhi replied.
“We’re taking Yu Ru away now because she has crucial evidence in her possession. We need her cooperation in the investigation to clean up the bad practices, rectify the bad policies, and remove harmful figures. In the past, those people were too powerful because they were all in cahoots, and we couldn’t do anything about them for a while. Now that Yu Ru has opened a big loophole, it’s a great opportunity,” Chi Jingliu continued.
"Brother and sister-in-law, is it just about having the child cooperate with the investigation? How long will it take? Will the child be sent back after the investigation is over?" Yun Bianzhi asked.
Yun Wenzhi shook his head regretfully. "Bianzhi, I also really want the child to come back after cooperating with the investigation, but this is not something I can decide alone. We still need to discuss how to arrange Yuru's stay or leave. You should keep it from Xiaoyuan about her being taken away for now. I'm afraid that if Xiaoyuan finds out, he will be too emotional and it will not be good for his recovery. As you know, no one has the right to bypass the judicial authorities to deal with criminals or even execute them, let alone so many people. So, please prepare for the worst, which is that Yuru will not come back."
Situ Ningzhai, Yun Zhonghe, Xin Lishi, Sang Zhuxian, and Yun Bianzhi all exclaimed in unison, "No way!"
The others echoed this sentiment, expressing their inability to accept such an outcome. Shan Shou spoke up, "Uncle, there are so many death row inmates in prison, couldn't we just pull one out to die in her place? Or we could pull out a rapist as a scapegoat. Yes, a rapist would be more suitable; no one would want to associate with him after he's released, and no one would hold him accountable if he dies."
Yun Wenzhi sighed, "Shan Shou, of course a normal person wouldn't want Yu Ru to die, but many people are watching this matter, and some people who shouldn't know about it also know about it. I'm afraid someone has reported it to muddy the waters. We still need to discuss what to do next."
“Who’s so wicked? To kill Sister Yu. Uncle, let Sister Yu have all those who oppose her living shot, then no one will stop her,” Shan Di said.
“This method doesn’t seem to be a bad idea.” Shanren rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. “It’s the same as before: make a phone call to trick them into going to a meeting, then mow them all down with machine guns. Nobody dares to do that, but my sister-in-law does. Let her go and kill them.”
"Alright, alright, kids, you don't need to come up with any more ideas. Yu Ru must be taken away for investigation. Your suggestion of shooting people directly is unacceptable. If there's no order or discipline, everything will fall into chaos." With that, Yun Wenzhi stood up. "Don't worry, we will do our best to protect Yu Ru. She's not going to die. There's still a chance for things to turn around."
Seeing him stand up, Yun Zhonghe let out a displeased sigh and said in a deep voice, "Wenzhi, why did you stand up again? Sit down first."
“Dad, time is of the essence and the mission is heavy. You must stop hiding Yu Ru’s location. Taking her away this time is to protect her and our family,” Yun Wenzhi said earnestly.
Everyone was silent.
