Chapter 1063: Minister Chen Has Been Killed

Qi Fu.

Having arrived home, the family happily enjoyed a reunion dinner, and then Qi Heng prepared to return to his room to rest.

His mother urged, "Don't rest here; rest on the plane. You'll be in A Country after a sleep."

Qi Heng:...

"Are you in such a rush? Can't you let me stay at home for a few days? Let me keep you company at home before I decide whether to go to A Country."

"No, I don't need you to keep me company. Go to A Country and find Ranran; don't let my good daughter-in-law slip away..."

His mother urged him so insistently that he had no choice but to pack his luggage at a leisurely pace.

Just then, his phone rang; it was actually Chen Ran calling.

He hung up, not answering.

Nothing good would come from him looking for him.

"Ring-ring—"

The ringtone sounded again, very persistent, very stubborn, with the clear implication that it would keep ringing until he answered.

He answered helplessly: "What is it? I've already returned home; there's no need to maintain a facade of friendliness anymore, right?"

Chen Ran said: "There is a need. You go to my house right now and give my father some gifts, so others can see that the relationship between our two families is indeed good."

Qi Heng could bear it no longer: "Chen Ran, you wear a mask every day; is there any point in doing these hypocritical things? I won't go, and people can think whatever they want."

He hung up the phone again.

But soon, the phone called again.

It was still the same matter; Chen Ran was pestering him relentlessly to go to his house to deliver gifts!

"Don't go. I've never seen such a shameless person, forcing others to give gifts time and time again? It's too ridiculous. As expected of someone raised outside since childhood, his whole being reeks of pettiness." Lady Qi was very angry and would not let her son go.

But the Vice President felt he should go; it was just a few gifts, and it wouldn't be good to burn bridges now.

Thus, Qi Heng listened to his father, let his mother take some things from the storeroom at random, and went over with only the driver.

Chen Zhai.

The large residence was quiet, and Qi Heng felt it was a bit strange.

Even if it was nap time, could they not even leave a guard at the main gate?

Only a pretty maid stood at the entrance to greet him: "Hello, Young Master Qi. Our master is waiting for you in the Study; please come with me."

Qi Heng refused and handed over the gifts: "No need. These are gifts sent by your young master; you can just take them inside."

The maid smiled: "The master instructed me to invite you to the Study to talk. If you don't even enter the main gate, the master will think I handled things poorly and offended you."

"It's not easy for us poor people to find a job; please have some compassion."

If this were in the past, he wouldn't have cared whether it was easy for a servant or not, but having worked at the grassroots level for a period of time, he could now understand.

Moved by compassion, he followed the maid toward the Study.

"It's here, please."

The maid opened the door and invited Qi Heng inside.

He walked into the Study, and the door behind him closed without a sound.

Minister Chen was worthy of being the person in charge of the country's financial power; his Study was different from others'.

Vice President Qi's study at home was only one room, just a bit larger than an ordinary one.

But Minister Chen's Study was a suite: the outer room was a waiting area, the inside was an office area, and the innermost part even had a living area for temporary rest.

Qi Heng sat in the waiting area for a while, but there was no sound from inside.

Under normal circumstances, if there were someone inside, there would be movement, but there was none at all; it should mean there was no one there.

"Minister Chen..."

He wanted to explain his purpose, but as he spoke, he realized something was wrong.

His own voice sounded soft and weak, as if in a nightmare.

What was going on?

He wanted to stand up, but found his whole body weak; his feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.

"Oh no, I've been drugged!"

He realized he had been tricked, but it was already too late.

The moment Qi Heng closed his eyes, he saw the door being kicked open, and many people entering from outside...

Qi Fu.

Lady Qi's face was covered in tear stains: "Impossible! A conspiracy, this must be the Chen family's conspiracy. My son wouldn't do such a thing; I'm going to go reason with them!"

She hurried toward the outside, but was grabbed by her husband.

"Calm down. The most important thing for us now is to get to the bottom of this. If you are this agitated, it won't do A Heng any good." The Vice President frowned; he was also distressed, but he could be calmer than his wife.

News had just come from the police station that Minister Chen had been killed in his Study at home, and Qi Heng was the murderer!

Of course they didn't believe it; this must be a frame-up. The couple firmly believed that their son would absolutely not kill anyone.

But their belief was useless; the police now had witnesses and physical evidence, and all the evidence was very unfavorable to Qi Heng!

The news had spread so quickly that many reporters were blocking the main gate waiting.

If she went out now, she would definitely be surrounded by reporters; saying anything would be wrong, and saying nothing would also be wrong.

And Lady Qi was not calm, making it even easier to say the wrong thing.

Using the last shred of her remaining reason, Lady Qi decided—to leave through the back door.

Unfortunately, there were reporters at the back door too!

These people seemed to have planned it all out; they blocked the main gate and also blocked all of the Qi Family's escape routes.

Vice President Qi's eldest son, Qi Heng, has committed murder!

The deceased is Minister Chen, and the location was the Chen family Study.

The murder weapon is a brand-new Dagger, and the place of origin for this Dagger is the very place where he works!

There are fingerprints of Qi Heng on the handle of the Dagger; one strike killed him, and Minister Chen died with his eyes wide open.

This news made it to the front-page headlines of all the trending news without any suspense, and the whole world was shocked.

After the news spread, Vice President Qi changed his low-profile style and traveled everywhere to plead for his son's innocence, but his son was locked up in the police station and transferred directly to Prison, with no one allowed to contact him.

Lady Qi fainted and has not woken up yet.

Jiangzhou.

Sheng Family.

Sheng Hanyu and his wife packed simple luggage, just a few changes of clothes, preparing to go to the airport to head to L Country.

Shi Youxuan held her mother-in-law's hand and said guiltily, "Mom, I'm sorry, you have to worry about the children again. We originally thought that you and Dad would enjoy life with us and spend your later years in peace, but in the end, you haven't had many peaceful days and have only suffered for us."

Wang Yinghao pulled her daughter-in-law into her arms and patted her back to comfort her: "Good child, you must not say that. You are all good children. Being able to share some burdens for you is our greatest happiness, and it makes me feel that I am still useful."

"You are certainly useful; you are the anchor of our family."

Her daughter-in-law's kind heart and sweet words made Wang Yinghao feel very gratified.

Even though she had done a lot of work, she was willing to do it!

The children were all entrusted to the elders, and the couple didn't even have time for last-minute instructions before rushing to the airport.

……

L Country.

Sheng Hanyu and his wife unexpectedly ran into their daughter at the airport.

Shi Ran got off another plane, without even any luggage, carrying only a backpack as she hurried toward the exit.

No, there is luggage!

Wang Yingzhi followed behind, dragging two large suitcases, complaining as she walked: "Little ancestor, slow down, my old bones can't take it..."

The couple looked at each other in dismay.

It is not strange that Shi Ran would appear here, as it is to save Qi Heng.

But why did she bring Wang Yingzhi along?
