Mr. CEO, Spoil me 100 Percent! - Chapter 510

Chapter 510: Court in the Morning

 

“So be it. After all, I did none of the things they said I did,” Munan said coldly. However, he knew internally that people’s doubts had gotten much bigger. Things were getting tricky.

…

The Xi family received news of those events soon after. Even though it was already late night, no one was sleeping; everyone was awake to discuss this.

The fact that Munan had been framed again came as a surprise to them. He was already in jail and Saohuang still wouldn’t let him be.

“This Feng Saohuang is like a crazy dog that won’t loosen his bite on us!” Jiangnian complained angrily.

Grandfather Xi explained solemnly, “Since he has started this sabotage, of course, he won’t stop half way. Looks like he is adamant to crush the entire Xi family!”

“We were too careless. We didn’t realize that he has so many disposable men on his hands and the worst thing is those men are stupidly loyal to him even though they were sacrificed. This Saohuang is too cunning and clever,” Jiangsan said slowly.

Grandfather Xi nodded. “I agree, this young man is too scary. For the sake of victory, he is willing to do anything. This time, if we manage to get the proof of his criminality, we must crush him completely.”

“However, Mubai and Xinghe had been gone for so long, when will they return with the evidence? Munan is going to court tomorrow morning.” Jiangnian’s brows furrowed with worry.

Grandfather Xi stated with authority, “This is just a court appearance. Even after the verdict, we can still appeal. As long as there is still a chance, we mustn’t surrender!”

“Shall we contact Mubai?” Jiangsan asked suddenly. After Mubai left, they hadn’t contacted him. Similarly, Mubai hadn’t contacted them either. This void of communication was for the sake of covering their tracks.

However, at that juncture, he was really worried about Mubai’s situation and curious about their development.

Grandfather Xi shook his head. “Not yet, we mustn’t slip up at a time like this. Tomorrow, Jiangsan and I will go to the court, you stay at home in case there is an emergency.”

“Yes.” Jiangsan nodded slightly.

Munan was going to be taken before the military court, it was closed to the public. However, due to Elder Xi and Jiangnian’s unique identity and their relationship to Munan, they would be allowed entry.

However, Jiangsan would be held at the door, so there was nothing he could do even if he went.

…

That night, the whole Xi family was restless. It was the same for Munan.

In fact, it was a restless night for the many parties involved. There was a feeling of calm before the storm.

If there were no accidents, this would be a giant hit to the Xi family.

The only thing that the Xi family could do was to assign Munan the best lawyer. As long as Munan refused to admit his sin, then the proceedings could still be dragged. Naturally, Munan would do that. Even Saohuang knew, the guilty verdict wouldn’t happen any time soon.

However, that was okay because as long as Munan couldn’t clear his name, eventually the court would announce his guilt. It was only a matter of time until the fire reached the Xi family.

As the Xi family had thought about this so did many other people. They were worried for the Xi family’s future. Recently, the Xi family had kept getting into trouble. The majority felt this was going to be the coup de grace for the Xi family.

Even the Xi family themselves felt that way.

Little did they know that the fate changers, Xinghe and Mubai, were on their way home…

Chapter 511: Morals and Mores

 

After two days of flight, the plane finally landed at City T. Xinghe was a fugitive, so returning to Hwa Xia was a bit of a trouble. However, with Philip’s help, their return trip was still successful.

Xinghe’s emotions were complicated when she laid her eyes on this familiar cityscape. She had left the place for less than a month, but it felt like she had been away for a very long time. The last month was like a dream to her. However, no matter what, it was undeniable that she and Mubai had succeeded!

They had Feng Saohuang’s proof of criminal activity in their hands. She fulfilled the promise she’d made herself: When she returned, it was going to be the end for Feng Saohuang!

Xinghe immediately pulled out her phone to make an international call, “Hello, Big Brother? We’ve landed, so you can start the operation now.”

“Okay, I will do it now. Good luck,” Philip replied, the smile on his face was reflected in his voice.

“Thank you.”

After they hung up, Philip immediately ordered his secretary, “Give this document to Hwa Xia’s embassy, get them to handle this immediately.”

“Yes, sir.”

His secretary took the document and left. The document was filled with proof of Saohuang’s criminality.

On Xinghe’s side, after she hung up, they got into the arranged car and left. Their first destination was the Xi family’s old family mansion. They had been away for quite some time, so they couldn’t help but worry about the Xi family’s latest situation.

The woman who was taken from IV Syndicate’s main base was immediately ferried to Lu Qi. The woman was physically weak, she was stuck in an induced coma. Probably only Lu Qi had the capability to save her. Even though Mubai still held a grudge against Lu Qi, he had to admit he was the best doctor he knew. Therefore, he wouldn’t mind getting his help.

On the way to the mansion, Xinghe was worried. “I wonder how everything is now.”

She had been away for so long, it must have caused quite a bit of trouble for the Xi family. Her only hope was that they weren’t too late.

Mubai grabbed her hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m sure everything’s fine.”

They had no idea that Munan was on his way to military court.

…

The courthouse was heavily guarded because many people would attend today’s hearing. Everyone present held a certain weight in the military world.

Saohuang, Lin Yun, Gu Li, and Yan Lu were all there.

From those who came, some came because they cared about Munan, others were there simply because they knew this was going to be a huge case. They didn’t care about how it went.

Elder Xi with Jiangnian’s support arrived at the courthouse wearing their military fatigue.

Other than Gu Li and Yan Lu, everyone avoided them like plague. Too many things had happened to the Xi family lately; they were afraid that they would be affected by the Xi family’s bad luck if they wandered too close.

This was a complete 180 from before. Before, everyone couldn’t wait to align themselves with the Xi family…

One couldn’t help but lament the realistic nature of human hearts.

Elder Xi seemed to have grown even older in the past few months. Initially, he still commanded an impressive charisma, like a tiger watching over the whole jungle.

Now, this tiger had been declawed and lay weakly waiting for his end to come.

Some still greeted them out of courtesy, but when they saw Elder Xi, they sighed internally. The unifying thought was, no matter how glorious the Xi family was, they weren’t invincible.

Tragedy could strike at any moment and a large family could topple overnight.

Chapter 512: The Return!

 

Nothing was permanent. There was no need to be envious of those at the top because you had no idea when they would fall. Furthermore, the higher they were, the greater the fall.

Some there reveling in their misery. Grandfather Xi, who had spent his entire life in politics, could read their thoughts clearly.

“Dad, why don’t you go home to rest, I can do this alone,” Jiangnian advised Grandfather Xi softly afraid that he wasn’t able to hold on. In fact, he himself was finding the situation harrowing. He felt immense pressure facing these people’s gloating gaze. It would only get worse during the hearing.

Grandfather Xi understood his thought. He pulled himself up to his full height and declared, “Remember this, even if the Xi family really falls, we mustn’t lose our pride! This is nothing compared to the fiasco I faced when I was building this family from the ground up. Do you think I will be defeated by this?”

“Of course not. I understand now.” Jiangnian nodded with shame. He admitted his EQ was weaker than his father’s. This was a great lesson for him. From then on, he would face everything without fear like how his father did.

Grandfather Xi’s words were heard by Lin Yun and Saohuang who were walking their way.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but laugh. “Grandfather Xi sure is admirable. You can sustain such a positive outlook even at a time like this. Hopefully, that will bring the Xi family some good luck.”

Grandfather Xi’s eyes darkened somberly the moment he saw them. He said darkly, “A friendly piece of advice for both of you, be cautious of the path you take when you’re young because you might not be able to bear the consequences that lie in wait at the end of the road!”

Lin Yun replied with a sarcastic smile, “Thank you, Grandfather Xi, for your useful advice.”

“You’re welcome. Also, it’s Elder Xi for now on because I wouldn’t be able to live down the shame of having someone like you as my grandchild,” Grandfather Xi shot back before walking away.

Lin Yun’s face immediately twisted from anger. “That senile old fart dares to insult me like this‽”

Saohuang stared at their back coldly before saying, “Why concern yourself with their dying words?”

Lin Yun calmed down immediately. “You’re right, those were indeed their dying words. I will be sure to record their faces down clearly in my mind when the judge makes his verdict later.”

Lin Yun said smugly and filed into the courtroom. The courtroom soon filled up. The atmosphere was solemn since this was a military court.

After the judge arrived, he asked for the defendant to be brought in. Munan, who wore a plain green T-shirt, was brought in by two jail guards. Even though his situation wasn’t optimistic, but he was calm and collected.

He wore a thin smile on his handsome face as if unfazed by the verdict that was going to fall on him.

Just as Munan’s trial began, Xinghe and Mubai finally reached the old mansion.

…

The maid rushed into the living room to announce, “Master, Madam, Young Master is home!”

Mr. and Mrs. Xi sprang up from their seated position.

“Where?” Jiangsan asked excitedly.

The next second, Mubai and Xinghe walked in.

When they saw them, Mrs. Xi’s eyes started to water and Jiangsan’s heart was gripped with various emotions!

Chapter 513: She Loves to Be Personally Involved in the Revenge

 

They didn’t expect the two of them to return so slowly.

“Mom, Dad, we’re home.”

Mubai smiled when he saw his parents. Mrs. Xi couldn’t control herself and rushed forward to grab his arm as if to check he was really there.

“Son, you’re finally home. Do you know how worried I was? Thankfully, you’re home safe.”

Compared to her, Mr. Xi was more collected. He was got straight to business, he asked, “Do you have what we need?”

This was the question the whole Xi family was the most concerned about. Mubai nodded firmly. “Yes, we got it.”

“Wonderful!” Mr. Xi exclaimed with excitement, “I knew the two of you could do this! Quickly, get the evidence to the police. We still have time. Munan is now at military court so your timing is perfect, we can use your evidence to save him!”

Mubai and Xinghe looked at each other.

“Munan is at military court?” Mubai’s eyes darkened. “What’s going on?”

Mr. Xi quickly brought them up to speed. Xinghe and Mubai then realized how despicable Saohuang was. Then again, other than frame them using IV Syndicate’s people, what else did he know?

“We’ll go to the court now,” Xinghe told Mubai directly. She liked to deliver the face-slap herself. Her satisfaction came from personally looking her enemies in their eyes when she crushed them.

Mr. Xi rejected that idea, flatly saying, “No, you can’t go to court.”

“Why not?” Xinghe asked.

Mr. Xi answered, “This is the military court we’re talking about; not anyone can enter it. The surveillance is high because this case is huge so normal people wouldn’t be able to get in. The two of you are not from the military so you will be held at the door. Plus, Xinghe, you still have a warrant out on you, going there is equal to surrendering.”

So that’s why.

Mubai chuckled coldly. “This Feng Saohuang sure is lucky. The plan was to destroy him in front of everyone.”

Xinghe’s eyes shone, she had come up with an idea.

“Getting in is not hard, I can get in.”

“You?” Mubai was curious.

Xinghe nodded. “Your father is right. I still have the charges against me, so I should be able to enter the court as a witness,”

Mubai understood her instantly. Mr. and Mrs. Xi though were still in the dark.

He stared at her and asked to get confirmation, “You really want to go?”

Xinghe nodded with confidence. “Definitely. We cannot let them pin this on the innocent Munan. However most importantly, we mustn’t let Saohuang win this case.”

“Okay, I will have it arranged immediately!” Mubai decided.

Mr. and Mrs. Xi were still confused. What are they up to?

Xinghe and Mubai’s plan was deceptively simple. Xinghe would surrender, and then, she would be summoned to the trial as a witness.

Of course, what kind of statement she would give was another business. Surrendering was only an excuse to enter the court. With the plan in place, Mubai immediately took Xinghe to the precinct.

…

Right then, Munan was still under intense interrogation.

“Xi Munan, do you admit that it was you who let the suspect, Xia Xinghe, go?” the judge questioned.

Munan nodded. “That’s right, but that’s only because I believe in her. It surprised me as well that she suddenly disappeared.”

Chapter 514: The Trial

 

“But she couldn’t have evaded the police on her own, it must have been you who helped her escape the country, right?”

“I did no such thing, if all of you still want to pin that on me, I can’t do anything about it,” Munan answered nonchalantly, as if he didn’t care how they viewed him.

“Then, did you have any dealings with her selling the stolen military munitions together?”

“No.”

“Do you think we can believe that? You were suspected of this charge before and were closest to Xia Xinghe. Yesterday, the people from the munitions organization even came to assassinate you because they thought you would sell them out. This is all circumstantial evidence, but the validity of the evidence cannot be denied.”

“I, for one, question their validity. If not, why hasn’t there been concrete proof that I have done such a thing?” Munan retorted with a light smile.

The judge frowned slightly. “Xi Munan, you are also a beneficiary of this country, therefore I advise you to be truthful to the court. The law will definitely look kindly on you and give you a fair judgement.”

“Every single word that I’ve said is true, so I do hope the law will treat me fairly,” Munan said calmly. A small commotion arose in the crowd.

Thus far, they realized Munan was as calm as ever.

Is it possible that he is really innocent and was framed? But who would be capable enough to frame him?

The judge continued the trial for a while longer. Munan’s answer was the same every time. The judge tried many interrogation techniques, but his answer was constant.

It had been two hours since the trial started and Munan maintained his composure.

In the crowd, Grandfather Xi and Jiangnian were the same as him. There was no trace of anxiety or fear. They were a bulwark of support for Munan.

Lin Yun though was starting to lose her patience. She whispered at Saohuang, “This is your brilliant plan? It’s completely useless!”

The guilty verdict that she wanted still hadn’t arrived.

Saohuang replied with a low growl, “This is already not bad, I’m not as invincible as you assume.”

He had given everything he had to take down the Xi family. The first time, he’d tried to plant the munitions at Xi Harbor, but his plan had been picked apart by Xi Mubai and Xia Xinghe. The second time, he managed to pull Xia Xinghe down, but his sacrifice was big. Now, to frame Xi Munan, he’d lost even more men.

He had done everything he could to corner Xi Family. If he could bring the Xi family down with one fell swoop, need he have waited until then?

If he was that powerful, he wouldn’t have come after something as insignificant as the Xi family. He wouldn’t need to lower himself to cooperate with the Lin family either.

Lin Yun knew all this, but she was anxious; she wanted to ruin the Xi family in one go.

…

The trial continued for a while longer and the judge pounded his gavel, announcing, “The court will take a ten-minute rest; the verdict will be announced after the court resumes.”

Lin Yun said coldly, “Fine, even if we can’t ruin them completely but at least this time, we manage to strike them until they’re half dead!”

That’s right, even though the verdict was probably a non-verdict but Munan would still be locked behind bars for further investigation.

The ten minutes were an exceptionally long for certain people.

Yan Lu’s face was completely dark, he was so ready to tear the place apart. If possible, he wanted to curse at the judge. How could their boss be guilty?

F*ck, better not let me find out who framed Boss or I’ll skin them alive!

Chapter 515: It’s Xia Xinghe!

 

“What do you think the verdict will be?” Yan Lu asked Gu Li anxiously.

Gu Li shook his head. “I’m not sure. It definitely won’t be innocent, but I don’t think it’s guilty either.”

“F*ck, who has been framing Boss again and again?” Yan Lu huffed angrily. Gu Li looked Saohuang’s way but didn’t answer. Actually, he had a feeling from the very beginning that this had everything to do with Feng Saohuang, but he had no solid proof…

Therefore, they could only pray for Munan.

“Miss Xia must be framed as well,” Yan Lu said suddenly, “Who knows where she is now. She’s a woman out there alone, things must be hard for her.”

Gu Li was also worried about her. “She’s so clever and capable, so I’m sure she’s fine. Who knows, she might be able to find a way to clear her name,” Gu Li suggested. He had no idea how right he was!

…

The ten minutes were finally over. The judge had come to a verdict. Due to a lack of definitive proof, he couldn’t give him a guilty verdict, but since he had the most suspicions, he still had to be jailed to assist in further investigation.

The judge slammed the gavel and announced with finality, “Take the defendant away, thank you everyone for attending this hearing, the court is withdrawn—”

“Let’s go!” the two guards ordered Munan. Munan stood up and followed them obediently. Before he had taken more than a few steps, the entrance doors were dramatically flung open.

“Wait!” a woman announced loudly as the doors opened. Munan’s eyes bulged with surprise when he saw her. Everyone there reacted the same way!

Isn’t that the fugitive Xia Xinghe? Why is she here‽

Xinghe who was escorted by a group of the police strode in to face the judge. “Your Honor, I can provide evidence to reveal the real culprit that has dealings with the illegal organization that sold military munitions. Please give me some time and I will show everyone the truth.”

The judge was baffled. “You’re Xia Xinghe?”

“That’s right,” Xinghe admitted easily, “I’m the Xia Xinghe you’re looking for.”

“Why is she here?” someone finally piped up to ask. “Could it be that she’s here to surrender herself?”

“It’s Miss Xia, it really is Miss Xia!” Yan Lu was excited.

Gu Li was glad as well. “Could it be that she really has found the evidence to prove their innocence?”

Yan Lu nodded firmly. “It must be! Miss Xia is so good at her job; she must have found the evidence. This is good news, Boss is saved.”

Munan knew he was saved. Not only him, Grandfather Xi and Jiangnian thought the same. The three of them were instantly thrilled, after so long, they finally found hope!

“You said you have proof to reveal the real culprit, where is it?” the judge asked directly. “And who is this real culprit?”

Xinghe took her time to answer. Her gaze swept the whole court. Finally, it fell on Feng Saohuang who sat at the back.

Meeting her pair of clear and sharp eyes, the bad feeling in Saohuang’s heart immediately got worse!

The next second, she pointed her finger at him and declared, “That’s your culprit—Feng Saohuang!”

Chapter 516: The Culprit Is Feng Saohuang

 

The crowd went ballistic. What is she talking about? The culprit is Feng Saohuang, how is that even possible‽

Yan Lu widened his eyes, but realization soon dawned. “I knew it, it had to be him!”

“How can it be Major Feng?”

“Xia Xinghe, you’re the one with a warrant here.”

“A load of rubbish, how can it be Saohuang‽”

Those who were close to Saohuang immediately came to his rescue and berated Xinghe. But Saohuang just stared at Xinghe with no expression. The only exception was his eyes which were sharp and frigid.

Xinghe held his eye contact fearlessly. There was serenity in the way she carried herself.

“Xia Xinghe, you said that the real culprit with Feng Saohuang?” the judge asked with a frown. Other than the small group of individuals, everyone thought she was making a false charge. After all, Saohuang’s hard work was public knowledge. How could a hard worker like him be involved in illegal trading of munitions?

“That’s right, that’s what I said,” Xinghe replied confidently, “He’s the one involved with the dealings with IV Syndicate. Everything that happened to me and the Xi family is his doing. He framed us because he’s the one dealing with the illegal organization.”

“That’s impossible, where’s your proof?”

The judge also asked, “Xia Xinghe, you have to back up your accusation with proof or you’re just making a false charge.”

Xinghe smiled. “Whether it’s a false charge or not, I think Feng Saohuang himself knows it perfectly well.”

Saohuang stood up suddenly and chuckled. “I’m sorry, but I know that I’m innocent, so I would like Miss Xia to produce the proof that shows that I’m wrong or I have the right to sue you for slandering a military general!”

“Sue her already, she must be lying!”

“That’s right, show us the proof!”

Yan Lu couldn’t help but yell, “Miss Xia, just show them the evidence!”

Xinghe replied softly, “The evidence is not with me, but I’m certain the culprit is Feng Saohuang.”

Yan Lu froze. What is she talking about? She has no evidence?

Even the smile froze on Munan’s face. Big Sister Xia, can you not joke around with something this important? This is not the place for that!

Grandfather Xi started to cough violently. Everyone was stunned by Xinghe.

Finally, someone started to laugh. “You have no proof and dare to come accuse people? Your Honor, there’s no need to continue this fiasco, charge her with a guilty verdict!”

“This is a court of law, Xia Xinghe you are disrespecting the law and the court, the consequence is not something you can bear!” someone scolded her severely.

Even the judge was furious. “Xia Xinghe, do you know what this place is? How dare you come to disrupt the sanctity of a court proceeding, I can send you to jail for a whole month for this violation!”

Saohuang laughed coldly. “Xia Xinghe, I’m officially charging you for slander. Your Honor, since she is so willing to surrender herself, then quickly have her captured.”

“A real bimbo!” Lin Yun snuck in a jab. She’d gotten scared for no reason when Xinghe appeared, but it looked like the woman was just an idiot. Idiots like Xinghe deserved a horrible end.

“Guards, take her down!” the judge ordered. However, the guards were stopped by the police who came with Xinghe.

The leading officer opened his lips to say, “Wait.”

The crowd finally realized he was the police chief. Why was he there personally?

Chapter 517: Finally, Revenge

 

The judge was confused. “Chief Zhang, what is the meaning of this?”

Chief Zhang pulled out a piece of document and approached the bench. He whispered, “This is a document sent over through an emergency fax from Country Y. Your Honor, please take a look at it first.”

The judge accepted the document with a curious expression and opened it gingerly…

Everyone was curious as to what it was. Only Saohuang’s face dropped when he heard the words ‘Country Y’. Xinghe stared at him coldly, not letting any one of his facial expressions escape her scrutiny.

“Do you know what that is?” she said as she drew closer to him. “It contains the proof for all of your criminal activities. Very soon, you’ll have to pay for the sins that you’ve committed.”

Saohuang narrowed his eyes dangerously. “What proof? If you dare to falsely accuse me again, I will not hold back anymore.”

Xinghe laughed. “You’ve framed the Xi family and myself time after time and you still consider that holding back? Fine, let’s say that’s true, but you should know, I will not show you the same kindness. Feng Saohuang, listen to me, your comeuppance is coming, today will be your last day of freedom!”

Saohuang’s eyes widened.

Lin Yun cursed angrily, “Xia Xinghe, you arrogant hussy. Look at this place, who do you think you are that you can accuse people randomly like this? You’re the most insignificant of all the people here, so I advise you to shut your trap.”

Xinghe turned to look at her slowly.

“That reminds me,” she told Lin Yun softly. “Now that Saohuang is confirmed to be guilty, there must be something suspicious about you as well, since the two of you are so close together. Your Honor, when you investigate Feng Saohuang, remember to look into this woman as well.”

“You—” Lin Yun was close to blowing her top off. What is this b*tch talking about? How dare she implicate me‽

“If Saohuang is proven innocent, I will definitely savor your death!” Lin Yun threatened her darkly. She was confident that Saohuang wouldn’t be found out so easily. After all, that was what Saohuang told her. No one could trace the crime back to him.

Xinghe replied sarcastically, “I’m going to return you your words. I will watch your downfall closely; I’ve waited too long for this day.”

She had given a lot and sacrificed a lot, but finally revenge was hers. She was going to open her eyes and watch their end closely!

Saohuang started to feel anxious after this little chat with Xinghe. The atmosphere inside the court started to get nervous. For some reason, they felt something huge was going to happen…

The judge who was reading the information had his face increasingly drawn.

“Is this authentic?” he suddenly asked Chief Zhang.

The chief nodded. “It is, the information just came from Country Y’s embassy. We rushed here to moment we received it. Furthermore, the document had Country Y’s president’s seal and personal signature.”

The judge immediately turned to Saohuang and announced with authority, “Men, detain Feng Saohuang! The court is now officially charging him with smuggling illegal military munitions, cooperating with terrorist organization to harm the safety of this country, and the world’s citizens!”

What‽

The room was astonished. They didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Feng Saohuang is really guilty?

Saohuang was shocked; his expression turned ugly.

Even though he knew his sins had been discovered, at that moment, he still couldn’t believe or accept it.

Saohuang was flustered watching the armed guards rush towards him.

Chapter 518: Direct Letter from Country Y’s President

 

He still felt like he was in a nightmare as he was heavily surrounded. How did things become like this?

A moment ago, he was watching Munan being sentenced. The IV Syndicate was destroyed, and he was going to be named the leader of Flying Dragon Unit. He was about to have everything.

So why… how did this happen? His crimes had suddenly been exposed.

“I object!” Saohuang called out suddenly. He glared at the judge and demanded, “I refuse to believe there is proof of my criminal activities in that document! It must be fake!”

IV Syndicate had been destroyed so how could they have gotten the evidence‽

The judge declared with authority, “But this is true. This document came from Country Y’s presidential office. The information is taken from IV Syndicate’s base, so how can it be fake? Your crimes and information are written clearly within.”

Saohuang’s face blanched immediately. Lin Yun widened her eyes in shock, so did everyone else.

If the proof came from Xinghe, they would definitely challenge it, but since it was authorized by the law enforcement and came directly from Country Y’s president; its validity couldn’t be challenged.

Country Y’s president wouldn’t be so free to frame Saohuang, right?

He had better things to do than purposely framing Saohuang, so the document was believable. And just like that, Saohuang’s crime was exposed and confirmed. So, Feng Saohuang really was the culprit…

The Xi family was framed after all.

“Feng Saohuang, what do you have to say for yourself?” Xinghe pressed, “I told you your comeuppance is coming! Do you know how much we’ve suffered and sacrificed because of you?”

She and Mubai even almost lost their lives in Country Y. She was tortured in such inhumane ways when she was Xia Meng. He had sinned too much against her.

“But now, the truth is finally out there. You will never be able to recover in this lifetime. Feng Saohuang, your end is nigh!” Xinghe glared at him with eyes burning with hatred.

Saohuang glared at her frigidly. For some reason, he felt this was Xia Meng’s ghost reincarnated to claim his life. This thought was weird, but he was strangely convinced of it.

The next second, he started laughing. But the laugh was short. He pulled back the laugh and stared coldly at Xinghe. “You think this will be the end of me? Xia Xinghe, we’ll see about that!”

“Men, take him down and lock him up,” the judge ordered.

The guards who surrounded him were ready to pounce but Saohuang opened his mouth to say, “Keep your dirty hands off me, I know how to walk myself!”

He straightened his uniform and glared at Xinghe before his gaze felled on Lin Yun. Lin Yun’s expression changed immediately.

The message in Saohuang’s pair of emotionless eyes was clear. Lin Yun gripped her fists tightly, to suppress the anxiety bubbling up in her heart.

Saohuang smirked with malevolence before being led away by the guards. When he crossed the hall of people, he could feel their wondering and contemptuous gaze on him.

So, this is what going from heaven to hell feels like.

Even though Saohuang kept a straight face, his heart still boiled with humiliation and anger.

The sun outside the courthouse shone down on him, bringing to light his complicated feelings.

Chapter 519: Great Satisfaction

 

His future was originally as bright as the sun. However, there was a sudden eclipse and his life was as dark as it had ever been. He didn’t think this day would ever come!

After Saohuang left, the commotion back in the courtroom started again. They couldn’t believe that Feng Saohuang had surreptitious dealings with IV Syndicate.

“Your Honor, since the crime was Feng Saohuang’s doing, doesn’t this mean our Boss is innocent‽” Yan Lu couldn’t help but ask loudly. The room immediately settled down.

The judge nodded. “According to the evidence sent by Country Y, the illegal munition dealings in City T are all Feng Saohuang’s responsibility. Therefore, Xi Munan and Xia Xinghe’s suspicion will be further looked into. This court hereby announces that they will be granted temporarily bail. The final verdict will be given after more evidence has been collected.”

Yan Lu was ecstatic. “Boss is free!”

The two guards immediately released the cuffs on Munan. Yan Lu and Gu Li rushed forward to cheer and the rest, swayed by the atmosphere, started to clap. Grandfather Xi and Jiangnian laughed happily.

Munan nodded at his men and walked towards Xinghe and thanked her, “Big Sister Xia, thank you. You’re amazing, you really managed to return with the evidence.”

Xinghe smiled. “I’m glad as long as everyone’s fine.”

“Miss Xia, you’re to me a goddess,” Yan Lu gave her a big thumbs up. “I, Yan Lu, have never been impressed by a woman before in my life; you’re probably going to be the first and the last!”

“Miss Xia, you’ve surprised us again,” Gu Li praised. “You managed to secure such elusive evidence!”

Xinghe couldn’t help but laugh. “I think you guys are mistaken. I didn’t bring the evidence, it has nothing to do with me.”

Yan Lu and Gu Li were shocked. She’s right, the evidence came from Country Y, which seemed to have nothing to do with her.

But how come they felt it had everything to do with her?

Munan was surprised by her modesty. This was obviously her contribution. However, since she wished to keep that a secret, Munan didn’t expose her, but it didn’t stop him from being proud of her!

Indeed, it is not necessary for these people to know how impressive my sister-in-law’s real capability.

“Regardless, Miss Xia, what you did just now was still pretty impressive,” Gu Li continued to heap on the praises. After all, not everyone had the guts to come confront Saohuang in person.

Yan Li claimed heartily, “That was satisfying watching Feng Saohuang being exposed like that. I feel much better witnessing him being publicly humiliated like that, serves him right!”

“Not only that, the letter of appointment waiting for him will be nullified,” Gu Li added with a smug smile.

Yan Lu looked at him and they started laughing jovially. Only they knew what was funny. Needless to say, it was because the name on that letter of appointment would soon be changed to Munan’s name. At long last, Flying Dragon Unit was finally theirs. Thinking about it made them happy.

Such an ending was satisfying, gratifying, rewarding, and fulfilling. Sharing in their happiness, Xinghe was also feeling particularly joyous.

Grandfather Xi and Jiangnian were overjoyed. They grinned from ear to ear as the crowd came over to congratulate them and apologize.

There was only one person who was left out of this celebration. That person was Lin Yun.

After she lost her ally, she snuck out of the courtroom while she thought no one was paying attention.

Xinghe stared darkly and sharply at her fleeing shadow.
