Chapter 681: Shen Xi’s the Mastermind of It All

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The special force quickly restrained Su Ruowan before she could do anything else. Su Ruowan was handcuffed to prevent another outburst. They did notice her calling a name. Who was Shen Xi?

Su Ruowan quieted down. She cleared her mind to focus on how she landed in this situation. Why was everything out of her control?

In the end, she concluded that it was as she had suspected during her confrontation with Shen Xi. The Su family’s downward spiral began because of the three-billion-yuan debt from Su Mushi’s betting stunt. The payment caused a massive gap in the Su family’s capital chain, leading up to bigger problems and unrecoverable business operations.

Everything started from the betting platform, and the instigator of the wager was the international class students, which involved Shen Xi. Although the Su family knew that Shen Xi had something to do with it, they had no proof against her.

Now Su Ruowan was sure that Shen Xi was the mastermind behind it all.

Amid Su Ruowan’s silence, the policewoman softly uttered, “Ms. Su, do you feel better? Please come with us to the police station if you’re feeling better. We need to record your statement.”

They had seen the hotel’s surveillance video. It could basically be confirmed that Su Mushi hid in Su Ruowan’s room to attack her when she was back. Alas, he failed in his attempt and was shot instead.

The development of events was not known as there was no surveillance in the hotel room. Su Mushi was still being tended to in the emergency unit while Su Ruowan had been quiet and not herself since the rescue. They needed her to give her version of what had transpired.

Su Ruowan nodded. Clenching onto the hem of her clothes, she lowered her head to hide the rampaging animosity in her eyes. She had to think of her next steps to get herself out of the mess.

She shot Su Mushi and had no idea whether he was dead or alive. Since the Su family loathed the sight of her, they would not forgive her even if she made up a fancy story and pleaded to them on her knees.

At this point, she only had herself and Screenwriter Cloud Seven to rely on. Cloud Seven would be holding his first press conference tomorrow. Surely, he would publicly back her up and stand on her side.

The Su family soon caught wind of Su Mushi taking a hit.

Su Yi was getting ready for bed after a good soak. Now that he knew Shen Xi was afraid, she would definitely help them out of their financial troubles. Su Yi could rest knowing that.

Ultimately, he could count on his biological daughter, unlike Su Ruowan, the little sh*t, who could not wait to cut ties with the Su family after they bankrupted. She even threw mud at Muyan.

Su Yi hoped Mushi would straighten Su Ruowan out, preferably beating the heartless brute to death. She was less than an animal to repay the Su family the way she did despite them raising her.

He had just stepped into the living room when there was a knock on the door. It was his eldest son, Su Muxuan. Su Yi opened the door and looked at him. “What’s with the panic?”

Su Muxuan showed him the trending news. “Dad, it’s bad. Mushi tried to kill Su Ruowan, but he was shot instead. It’s on the news that he’s being treated in the hospital.’

The news came with a picture. It was Su Mushi covered in blood, battling between life and death.

Su Yi staggered and nearly took a fall. After reading the news, he hissed through clenched teeth, “The evil b*tch! She must have hurt Mushi!”

“What do we do now, Dad? Should we go to the hospital?” Su Muxuan may appear anxious on the surface, but he was not at all worried inside.

His younger brothers were more useless than the next. If they could all drop dead, Su Muxuan would not need to worry about anyone taking his inheritance once the Su family rose again with Shen Xi’s help.

He knew there was once something about the way the hot-tempered Mushi looked at Su Ruowan. Surely, sparks would fly one way, or another should he look for Su Ruowan. Hence, Su Muxuan deliberately brought Su Ruowan up in front of him.

Su Muxuan was partly responsible for Su Mushi going after Su Ruowan. However, it never crossed Su Muxuan’s mind that Su Mushi was able to obtain a gun yet was wounded by Su Ruowan instead.

“When is Shen Xi coming back? I want to give her a call.” Su Yi turned ashen in the face, no longer bearing the cheerfulness he had before. He stumbled away to call Shen Xi but was unable to get through to her. Livid, he was one fine line away from smashing the phone.

What was going on with the brat? She gave them money and promised to meet with them. Yet, why was she not here to help them? Why must they wait to meet?

Meanwhile, Su Muyan limped his way into the room. He was over the moon to read the news. Since the betting incident, the only feeling he had for Su Mushi was hatred. In fact, Su Muyan wished death upon Su Mushi.

All was good now. Su Mushi was shot in the chest, and in the best-case scenario, he had better die in the hospital.

Still, Su Muyan had to keep up with his appearance. Otherwise, he would not be able to convince Dad. “Dad, did you see the news? How is Mushi doing now?”

Gripping the phone tightly in his hands, Su Yi turned to Su Muxuan. “Follow me to the hospital to visit Mushi. Muyan, you stay and take care of your mother.”

The d*mn woman. Of all times Li Jingran could be sick, why did it have to be now? Was she trying to give him a hard time? It was better she died than causing him problems!

Su Muyan watched them leave before taking a seat on the sofa. He whipped out his phone to scroll the news and read the comments, realizing nothing fazed him anymore following the bankruptcy.

The trolls online wanted the Su family to bankrupt, fall into ruins, and die. Well, dream on. So long as Shen Xi was around, the Su family would never crumble.

Even if the Su family fell into financial ruin beyond help, he could still live the life on Shen Xi’s dime. Those poor trolls online could s*ck it.

The sudden shriek from Li Jingran’s bed startled him and he almost jerked his phone away in reflex. Taking a glance at the woman sitting up in bed, Su Muyan could not hide his disdain. Without moving an inch, he impatiently asked, “Mom, what’s wrong now?”

Li Jingran stared blankly into space while keeping to herself. In the end, she whimpered into the covers and mumbled, “I’m sorry, sorry. I’ve wronged you. It’s all my fault. Please, please leave me alone.”

Su Muyan took a quick look at her before turning his focus back onto his phone. He did not have time for her.

Once Shen Xi was back, Su Muyan would get Shen Xi to fork out the money to send Li Jingran to a nursing home so he could then be spared from her daily wailing.
