Chapter 1192: Who Exactly Is Zhu Qingrui's Accomplice?

Although the Qi Family couple have changed a great deal in recent years, they have not yet reached the point of being completely devoid of logic.

That they had some other motive for bringing the two of them to the island is something Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu believe, but there is truly no need for them to fake their deaths just to frame the couple.

All schemes are born of interests.

But if they had truly done such a thing, the benefits would not outweigh the harms; the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages!

There is one more important point: the Qi Family and the Zhu Family are mortal enemies!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to cooperate with Zhu Qingrui.

Setting aside Qi Heng's parents, everyone then thought of several other possibilities.

For instance, Commander Liu, who has already retired to his hometown.

And several other relatively important figures in L Country.

Every possibility has reasons for doing so, and reasons for not doing so; finally, Jian Yining asked, "Could it be that Qi Heng and Zhu Qingrui are colluding?"

Before anyone else could speak, Shi Ran was the first to object: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for it to be him."

Her emotions were a bit agitated, and everyone looked toward her in unison.

She felt a bit embarrassed and explained: "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else; I understand Qi Heng, he absolutely could not do such a thing."

Shi Youxuan also said: "Yes, it is absolutely impossible for Qi Heng to collude with Zhu Qingrui; there is absolutely no possibility of this."

With both mother and daughter saying so, the others did not persist.

But once the topic turned to Qi Heng, it could not be moved past.

Everyone had grievances against Qi Heng!

It was not just ordinary grievances; it was almost to the point of hatred.

Ma Ling'er gritted her teeth and said to Shi Youxuan: "When you weren't home, that brat didn't do a single good thing. Besides splashing dirty water on you, he also confiscated all of your family's assets in L Country."

"It's good that you're back. Regardless of whether he is a co-conspirator with that brat from the Zhu Family, we cannot let him off. Neither of those two brats is any good."

This time, her words were agreed upon by everyone.

Everyone agreed that Qi Heng could not be let off lightly, and L Country could not be spared.

……

The third day after Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan returned to Jiangzhou.

The couple suddenly held a press conference to explain their disappearance during this period!

The appearance of Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan immediately caused a huge uproar.

The purpose of them holding the press conference was aimed directly at Qi Heng.

Once it was made public that the couple had been imprisoned on Shark Island, the Sheng Family's stock, which had already hit rock bottom, soared.

The economy of L Country, which had been temporarily maintained, was once again hit with disaster!

Shark Island is the territory of L Country.

Since Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan had been imprisoned on an island of their country all along, it was easy for people to suspect that this matter was orchestrated by Qi Heng himself.

Hiding his parents.

Or perhaps his parents were killed by him in the first place.

From ancient times to the present, are there few sons who killed their fathers to ascend the throne as emperor?

Although it is not ancient times now and there are no emperors, the president of L Country holds high power, and facts proved that he did indeed do just that later on!

Just as his father died and his body was not yet cold, he ascended to become the new president of L Country with the support of Commander Liu.

The first thing Qi Heng did after taking office was to issue a Red Wanted Order for his prospective parents-in-law, and immediately after, he confiscated all of the Sheng Family's assets.

The Sheng Family's assets were confiscated, and then Commander Liu, who had always supported him, retired to his hometown; Qi Heng now controls the political and military power of L Country, becoming the person with the most power in the country!

In the history of L Country, no president had ever achieved this!

He was not only the youngest president of L Country, but also the president who grasped the most power in the shortest amount of time.

Before Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan held the press conference, many people were actually watching from the sidelines.

Watching the recent changes in L Country.

If Qi Heng truly had the ability, the foreign capital that had already fled might still have a chance to return!

But Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan had returned, and this possibility instantly became unreachable.

Besides proving that they were not the culprits, Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan also announced on the spot the dissolution of the engagement between Shi Ran and Qi Heng.

Both sides tacitly gave up.

This was still different from publicly announcing the dissolution of the engagement.

The biggest difference was that hot money did not enter L Country again, but instead surged into Jiangzhou like a tide, pouring into the stock market, especially the Sheng Family's stocks.

If it weren't for the daily limit in Jiangzhou, the Sheng Family's stocks would probably have risen to the sky.

Looking at L Country again.

The economy, which had just gotten on the right track, was in complete chaos.

Domestic prices had finally stabilized with great difficulty, but now they were starting to skyrocket again!

The common people were panicked and scrambled to hoard food and daily necessities.

The prices of food and daily necessities rose with the tide, their value skyrocketing, even quadrupling or quintupling in a single day.

This time, Qi Heng did not print more banknotes, but instead forcibly demanded that shops were not allowed to raise prices!

Price gouging would lead to jail time.

When Sheng Hanyu saw him do this, he knew that Qi Heng was still too young.

Forbidding price increases might seem like it could stabilize prices, but the most direct result was that the shops all closed their doors.

Someone might do business that doesn't make money.

But no one does business that loses money.

The common people cannot buy food, and complaints are heard everywhere.

Qi Heng is overwhelmed and truly at his wit's end; he has no choice but to bite the bullet and take the initiative to contact Shi Youxuan!

The reason he is contacting Shi Youxuan is that he feels Shi Youxuan is easy to talk to.

When Shi Ran sees it is Qi Heng's number, she does not find it strange; she had already anticipated that he would contact her.

The call is connected.

Shi Youxuan: "Oh! President Qi is actually calling a wanted criminal like me; how novel. Shouldn't you be sending the army instead?"

Qi Heng:...

Shi Youxuan is consistently sharp-tongued and accustomed to retorting; although he was mentally prepared, he is still left not knowing how best to respond.

"I am sorry, Auntie. I rushed onto the island back then and saw my parents' bodies with my own eyes. Please understand how I felt at that time."

Shi Youxuan interrupts him: "I'm sorry, President Qi. I am not familiar with you, so let's not pretend we are close."

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. If not, then hang up. The weather in L Country is not very good today; don't let a lightning strike hit you while you're on the phone. You'd have to blame this ill-timed call even when you're a ghost."

Qi Heng:...

Shi Youxuan's words are filled with barbs, and he cannot even parry a single move.

But the things that must be said still need to be said; he is no longer just an individual now, he is the president of a country!

"Let's make a deal. As long as you can let the common people live in peace and work in contentment, you can do whatever you want to me, and I will accept it all."

Shi Youxuan: "President Qi, you are being excessive by speaking like that. Whether the common people of your country can live in peace and work in contentment is your business; it has absolutely nothing to do with the Sheng Family. Please do not try to pin everything on us; our family will not take the blame for this."

Qi Heng is speechless once again.

Why does Shi Youxuan never play by the rules?

He thought Shi Youxuan would take the opportunity to make demands, such as requesting the restoration of her reputation, a public apology, and the return of the Sheng Family's assets in L Country, and so on.

After all, that is a huge sum of money; there is no one who would not take it seriously.
