Chapter 1171: Retaliation is justified, moral kidnapping is not
But with her parents missing, and being crudely and brutally labeled a murderer, if Shi Ran could still remain indifferent, she would be heartless.
In the end, she decided to proceed according to the original plan.
Just as the emotions of the crowd at the scene reached their peak, a video of Wang Yong suddenly appeared on the giant screen broadcasting live!
Wang Yong was sitting leisurely on a lounge chair, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
He said to Qi Heng with a mocking tone: "Yo, I heard I was hanged? How come I didn't know about it? You really have a clever scheme, making murder for wealth sound so refined and detached."
"My brother and sister-in-law's fate is unknown, and you frame them to cover up your own incompetence and confiscate the Sheng Family's assets? You really thought of that; do you understand that this is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? Once the Sheng Family's assets are confiscated, let's see who will dare to come to L Country to invest and do business in the future."
"Turn it off, turn off the screen."
Qi Heng's face was ashen, and Commander Liu ordered in a fit of rage.
A bizarre thing happened; the screen simply could not be turned off!
The remote control failed, and no matter how it was pressed, the screen remained lit.
Wang Yong continued to speak, mocking and ridiculing Qi Heng, and also said that he was about to go find the couple, and once they were found, the truth would come to light.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to avenge one's father, but wronging an innocent person is equivalent to acting as an accomplice to a tyrant and letting the real murderer go!
"Snap!"
A red dot flashed on the screen, a bright white line streaked across, and finally, the power was cut.
Although Wang Yong could not continue speaking, it didn't matter; this was not important.
What was important was that what he wanted to express had already been expressed.
Although most people in the crowd still supported Qi Heng, there was no lack of whispering.
They were doubting, doubting Qi Heng's ability, fearing that he was too young to be qualified for the position of President.
Everything Qi Heng had meticulously planned had all gone down the drain because of Wang Yong's appearance.
He had an angry look on his face, and his heart was not feeling good either!
Suddenly, his arm was crudely grabbed, and he was pulled into the room next door.
It was Commander Liu.
Although Qi Heng was the President and Commander Liu was nominally his subordinate, he had absolutely none of the respect a subordinate should have for a superior!
Commander Liu was furious: "It must be Shi Ran, it's your fiancée who is making trouble, damn it!"
"You call her immediately, tell her to stop this stupid behavior, tell her to figure out her own identity; after she got engaged to you, she is no longer a person of the Sheng Family, but a person of the Qi Family. Of course, she should think what you think and worry about what you worry about..."
Don't look at how he doted on his own daughter; he still held discriminatory views toward other people's daughters, just like all the chauvinists in L Country.
Commander Liu believed that, except for Liu Min, everyone else should follow their husbands wherever they go.
Qi Heng smiled bitterly: "It's useless. From the moment I promised you I would do this, there was no longer any possibility between Shi Ran and me."
"No possibility? Why?"
He was very puzzled: "You two are already engaged. Everyone knows about this matter now; it's not something that can be dissolved just because you say so."
Qi Heng: "It's not up to me; it was already destined the moment I issued the Red Wanted Order in the name of the President."
He had already made his words very clear, but unfortunately, Commander Liu still could not understand.
"What does issuing a wanted order have to do with Shi Ran? If she marries you, she is a person of the Qi Family and no longer a person of the Sheng Family. What she is doing now is being a traitor. Such a woman must be well-educated so that she understands the duties of a woman."
Qi Heng:...
Some people just have the mouth to talk about others but not themselves.
No matter how arrogant Liu Min was, he doted on her.
But when it came to other people's daughters, he immediately used the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues to restrain them!
Qi Heng could not afford to offend him now, so he patiently explained: "The rules in Jiangzhou are different from ours. Even after a woman gets married, she is still her parents' daughter; the husband's family and the maiden family are equally important."
Commander Liu: "I don't understand your twists and turns, and I don't want to understand. Anyway, you call Shi Ran and ask her where Wang Yong is? Tell her to hand the person over."
If Wang Yong continues to jump around outside, your position will not be secure.
"Mm, I know."
Qi Heng dialed Shi Ran's number.
She looked at the number on her phone and felt like crying.
But she still controlled herself and answered the call: "Hello, what is it?"
"Ranran... are you okay?"
Shi Ran: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush with me; I am very busy."
"I know you hate me, but I don't blame you. No matter who this happens to, no one can accept it... Ranran, but I ask you to understand me too. My father and mother are dead, while at least you haven't seen your parents' corpses yet..."
"Qi Heng, our engagement is canceled."
Shi Ran said these few words simply, then hung up the phone and blocked the number.
Including WeChat and QQ, she blocked him.
She unfollowed him on YouTube, deleted him as a friend on Weibo...
She announced to all their mutual friends and classmates: they had dissolved their engagement and would have absolutely no relationship in the future.
No matter who it was, they were not allowed to mention that person in front of her; if they really couldn't help it, then they would break off the friendship.
Unknowingly, her face was covered in tears.
She couldn't say if it was for Qi Heng, for herself, or for all the beautiful times they once spent together!
The happiness ended too suddenly, but she did not regret it.
It was just that it still hurt.
After finishing all this, Shi Ran had the Secretary announce that the company had opened an account for every employee at Chao Ran Bank, and one yuan was deposited into each original account.
In the future, the company's holiday bonuses would be deposited into this account; please carry this card with you at all times.
Is there any inevitable connection between bonuses and carrying a bank card with you?
The employees had doubts, but no one asked.
The Chairman's decisions do not need to be explained to the employees; this was the foundation laid back when Sheng Hanyu was Chairman.
Although Shi Ran is young, she has perfectly inherited all of her father's strengths and weaknesses.
Qi Heng did not get to say a single word of what he wanted to say before the marriage was unilaterally declared dissolved—a breakup!
He called again, only to discover that Shi Ran had blocked him.
Every single method of contact was blocked.
He attempted to contact Yun Qitian, wanting him to pass on a message, but discovered that he no longer had Yun Qitian's contact information either.
Everything had been blocked.
Fortunately, Liu Min had not blocked him, but Liu Min told him the message Shi Ran had sent to everyone: ignore anything related to him.
Furthermore, she refused to help him pass on any messages; she knew that Shi Ran meant what she said and would follow through.
Unable to contact Shi Ran for the time being, Qi Heng was not only not angry, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
He did not want to face Shi Ran right now; although he missed her very much, he truly did not know what to say.
But he believed that after some time had passed, Shi Ran would understand his actions.
He was very confident, yet he did not expect that Shi Ran would not only deny him a chance, but also strike him with a combination of blows that nearly caused him to collapse.
First, Wang Yong escaped from Prison, and the President used someone else to be hanged in his place; this matter became the biggest scandal in L Country!
Overnight, the entire nation knew about it.
Before Qi Heng could think of a perfect countermeasure, nationwide demonstrations and protests in L Country officially began!
