Chapter 1064: Shi Ran Lays Out a Plan to Save Qi Heng

In a moment, the couple's faces simultaneously revealed surprise.

Their daughter had grown up and been tempered.

Although she was in A Country, she had seen from the news that this was a conspiracy by Chen Ran, and bringing Wang Yingzhi over was naturally to deal with Chen Ran!

As the saying goes, brine points to tofu; one thing subdues another.

Wang Yingzhi was Chen Ran's nemesis, and no rebuttal would be accepted!

"Ranran."

Shi Ran stopped; it was her mother's voice, she couldn't have misheard.

Looking back, sure enough, her parents were behind her, walking toward her!

"Mom, Dad, you came so quickly." Shi Ran was delighted but not surprised.

"You aren't slow either. Didn't you say you wanted to prioritize your studies and focus without distraction? Why did you come here?" When Shi Youxuan roasted people, she showed no favoritism, not even to her own daughter.

Shi Ran blushed involuntarily but still remained stubborn: "Qi Heng is my childhood friend, my buddy. I cannot sit idly by when he is in trouble. This also doesn't fit the educational philosophy you've taught me since I was young. I cannot lose face for you, so I came."

For the first time, Shi Youxuan conceded defeat.

Mainly, it was because now was not the time for bickering; the occasion was wrong.

Qi Fu.

The entire residence was filled with gloom and misery.

Lady Qi was lying on the bed; she had woken up, but her mental state was very poor, and she was on the verge of a breakdown at any moment.

She chattered incessantly like a tragic, repetitive mourner: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on making A Heng come home, A Heng wouldn't have been lured to the Chen family, and he wouldn't have been framed for murder, to be executed in a month..." Tears also fell continuously like beads from a broken string.

Shi Youxuan sat beside her and persuaded: "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much. The most important thing for us now is to think of a way to save A Heng. Just blaming yourself is meaningless."

But Lady Qi could not take in a single word.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on making A Heng come home..."

She was immersed in her own world, unable to extricate herself; no news from the outside could reach her.

Shi Youxuan had no choice but to shed tears with her while thinking of a way.

Study.

Two grown men were discussing, and Shi Ran was there too.

Vice President Qi: "The public opinion is very unfavorable to A Heng right now. All the evidence points to him being the killer. If it doesn't work, I will risk everything to break him out of prison, even if it means saving A Heng by force. But if it really comes to that, your family will also be implicated by me. I can only say I'm sorry."

It was a fact known to everyone that the two families were closely related. If it really came to the worst moment, he would definitely save Qi Heng if he had to break him out of prison.

But it would also mean his political career would be completely over, with no possibility of a comeback in this lifetime.

And Sheng Hanyu, who had a very good relationship with him, would definitely be dragged down, suffering countless economic losses.

Precisely because the matter was of great importance, he had to make it clear before taking action. Being blamed was to be expected, and he would do his best to compensate the Sheng Family.

Sheng Hanyu: "No need to apologize. If it were my son, I would do the same."

It was just a light statement, without a second word.

No opposition, and he didn't even have a trace of an unhappy expression.

"Thank you. Our family is destined to let your family down. If I cannot repay this in this life, let me repay the Sheng Family's kindness in the next life." The Vice President felt even more guilty.

Shi Ran: "Uncle Qi, don't be too pessimistic. We still have a month; there is definitely a chance to overturn the case."

Vice President Qi: "It's difficult!"

He sighed, thinking Shi Ran was just comforting him. In fact, there was a reason he was so pessimistic.

Minister Chen's younger brother was the Court President. Everyone knew that Qi Heng being sentenced had the implication of settling a personal vendetta, but it was already a settled fact. Without particularly favorable evidence to reverse it, there was simply no chance to overturn the case.

Shi Ran: "Please believe me, I have a way."

"Good, let's work hard together."

Having already considered the worst outcome, all that remained was to work hard.

Chen Fu.

The entire residence was shrouded in black gauze and white curtains, and the living room was set up as a mourning hall.

The mourning hall was decorated quite grandly, but there were not many people coming to pay their respects; it wasn't the time yet.

According to the customs of L Country, people usually go to pay respects in the afternoon or evening. In the morning, unless one is a very close relative or a particularly good friend, it would be seen as impolite.

The three older children of the Chen family were running around to law firms, banks, and notary offices, investigating exactly how much property their father had and how much could end up in their hands.

Chen Ran was also not there. He had only appeared once since the incident, and then no one knew where he had gone.

The master bedroom upstairs.

The curtains were drawn tightly, and the large bed was a scene of debauchery.

After the passion.

Zhu Qingxiang went to the bathroom to shower, his heart filled with guilt, and... feeling disgusted!

It was Chen Furen who had seduced him; she had drugged his food, and he had fallen into the trap without knowing.

What was damnable was that there had been no warning signs before this. If he had sensed that Chen Furen was going to seduce him, he would have raised his guard and would absolutely not have been fooled.

But now it was too late to say anything. Besides feeling humiliated, he also felt very sorry for his younger brother.

This feeling was very bad.

Silvery threads of water poured onto his body from the showerhead, splashing everywhere, and misty steam enveloped the bathroom.

Zhu Qingxiang truly wished time would stop, and that he could stay in the bathroom forever and never come out.

He had failed his deceased parents, and he didn't know how to face his younger brother!

The woman outside disgusted him, but he was currently at his wit's end.

"Little Xiangxiang, hurry up, I still have to go downstairs to keep vigil for that old thing in a while, time is very tight..."

Madam Chen's languid voice drifted over; he did not respond, covering his ears with both hands, not wanting to listen to her clamor.

"Why are you showering for so long? Why don't we wash together?" The sound of footsteps in slippers drew closer; he hurriedly pulled on his clothes and went out: "I'm done washing."

"Look at you, it's just taking a bath together, and it scared you like this?" Madam Chen coquettishly chided, casting a flirtatious glance his way.

He kept his head lowered and eyes submissive, pretending not to see: "Please take your time washing, I will go out and look after things for you outside." After saying this, he left as if fleeing.

……

The three Chen siblings left from different places and gathered together again, the expressions on their faces were not pleasant, filled with indignation.

Eldest Sister: "I'm so angry, I'm so angry, that old thing at the Lüshi firm insists that it is not yet time to announce the will; no matter what I say, he won't let me see it, and refuses to reveal even a tiny bit of information in advance."

Second Brother: "That old thing must have been bought off by that vixen in the house; we were careless."

Eldest Brother was also dejected: "Things aren't going smoothly at the bank either; all the assets under Father's name have been frozen, they say it's for asset preservation, and until the will is announced, no one can touch them."

The three were too furious, cursing their stepmother, cursing that bastard who didn't know where they came from, and cursing the unscrupulous Lüshi.

They were so focused that they didn't even notice someone behind them!

"It's useless for you just to curse; if you want to get the share you deserve, why not cooperate with me? I am willing to help you unconditionally!"
