Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 659 - Chapter 659 Chapter 659 Qiao Yun Exposes in Public

Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Qiao Yun Exposes in Public Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Qiao Yun Exposes in Public Lu Zhanxing again started whispering excitedly with Lu Jingzhi, visibly thrilled.

Lu Rui just shook his head.

His eldest son was steady, his daughter emotionally aloof, and his second son was the extreme opposite of them both.

Naturally active and always stirring up trouble.

Now that Lu Zhanxing was there, Qiao Yun had integrated so well into the family, and Lu Rui felt quite relieved.

He didn’t disturb them, took the car keys, and planned to go to the old house.

…

Lu Rui’s sudden arrival took the old lady by surprise, “Why come over at this time?”

Lu Rui said, “Mom, where are Dad and Big Brother?”

“In the tea room.”

“I’ll go find them.” Lu Rui turned and headed for the tea room.

The old man was discussing the Qin Family with Lu Xian, and was surprised to see Lu Rui.

Lu Rui didn’t beat around the bush, he immediately shared what Qiao Yun had investigated with them.

The old man, after listening, almost spat out a mouthful of blood, “This Qin Family really… Did our Lu Family have a feud with them in a past life? Only to be relentlessly entangled by them in this one!”

A layer of ice covered Lu Xian’s face, his voice deep, “Shiran absolutely must not return to the Qin Family. His nature would only get him killed by the Qin people.”

Lu Shiran had been protected too well and had never experienced any scheming.

If he truly went to the Qin Family, he wouldn’t last against their machinations.

The old man said with determination, “Even if it costs the whole Lu Family, we will absolutely not let them succeed.”

Lu Rui expressed his agreement.

The old man and Lu Xian, through Lu Rui, learned that Lu Zhanxing wanted to stir up trouble.

They were glad to see it happen.

The youngsters’ meticulous effort couldn’t possibly be wasted, right?

Lu Rui then asked, “Should we tell Shiran about this?”

The old man shook his head, “Don’t mention it for now, let him rest well. Things are chaotic enough, let’s not have him worry needlessly.”

“I understand.”

…

The next day.

Old Mr. Qin, along with Qin Yuan, prepared to visit Lu Shiran and play the emotional card.

He had fully grasped Lu Shiran’s character, who preferred gentle approaches over harsh ones.

As long as they gave him more time, he believed Lu Shiran would definitely soften and acknowledge him.

Qin Yuan glanced at Old Mr. Qin, his lips curling up sarcastically.

He wouldn’t give his grandfather and Lu Shiran a chance to bond.

Since he couldn’t stop his grandfather from wanting to acknowledge Lu Shiran, he would make Lu Shiran refuse to return on his own.

Qin Yuan looked out the car window, a dark shade crossing his handsome face.

Once Lu Shiran knew that someone in the Qin family wanted to harm him, he’d see if he would still want to return.

Just as Old Mr. Qin was pondering how to appear weaker when meeting Lu Shiran, his phone rang.

An anonymous person had sent him a message.

Old Mr. Qin didn’t think much, he opened it immediately.

Moments later, his face turned extremely ashen, anger gradually surfacing.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan asked concernedly, “Grandpa, what happened?”

Old Mr. Qin gripped his phone tightly, looked at Qin Yuan whose face was expressionless, and said with a sharp, testing gaze, “It’s Qin Xuan. She hired someone to hurt my grandson.”

“What?” Qin Yuan appeared to find it difficult to believe, his face full of surprise.

Old Mr. Qin thoughtfully said, “What, she’s your biological sister, don’t you know about this?”

Qin Yuan was stunned, then exclaimed in disbelief, “Grandfather, I’ve been trying so hard to find a chance to meet Professor Qiao these days, I had no mind to bother about Qin Xuan’s matters.”

He said apologetically, “It’s all my fault. If I had paid more attention to Qin Xuan, this might not have happened.”

Old Master Qin scrutinized Qin Yuan for a moment, seeing that his expression didn’t seem fake, he then withdrew his oppressive gaze and coldly instructed the driver, “Turn around, go back.”

“Yes.”

Qin Yuan’s racing heart gradually calmed down.

The grandfather was old indeed, but his aura was not diminished, it was even more formidable.

Even he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Especially knowing the truth, the grandfather still kept calm, making it hard to guess his thoughts.

This made Qin Yuan somewhat restless.

The carriage returned to the Qin Family residence.

Lady Qin saw her father return and wondered, “Dad, why are you back? Weren’t you going to see Shiran?”

Old Master Qin, leaning on his cane, said neither with displeasure nor anger, “Where is Qin Xuan?”

“Xuanxuan is in the front courtyard, weren’t you the one who asked to hold the matchmaking party?”

“Go call her here, I need to speak with her.”

“What’s the matter that it’s so urgent?” Lady Qin gently said, “There are so many guests right now, can’t it wait until after the party?”

Old Master Qin said sternly, “I want you to go now!”

Lady Qin was startled, quickly glanced at her son Qin Yuan standing behind her father, seeking with her eyes what had happened.

Qin Yuan shook his head.

Old Master Qin said, “Looking at him is useless, go call Qin Xuan. If you still regard me as your father, do as I say!”

“Alright, I understand.”

Lady Qin heard the anger in her father’s words and did not dare to delay any further, she hurried to the front courtyard to find Qin Xuan.

…

At the party scene.

There were many attendees, all of them people of status and background.

Although Qin Xuan was involved in a scandal about having an affair with Mike, they still looked down on Qin Xuan thinking she was cheap.

But the Qin Family’s background was too tempting for many.

And indeed, Qin Xuan was truly beautiful.

Many had the thought that if they could marry Qin Xuan, they would simply keep her at home as a trophy.

After all, they coveted the Qin Family, not Qin Xuan as a person.

As the main character, Qin Xuan was naturally the center of attention.

She held a glass of red wine, sipping it bit by bit, completely uninterested in the matchmaking banquet.

Of course, if Li Hanzhou himself could appear here, she would definitely be interested.

Qin Xuan couldn’t help but scoff at herself.

Was it cheap of her, still being pining for him after he’d treated her like this?

No.

If it hadn’t been for Qiao Yun, how would she have fallen to the point of marrying just anyone?

Everything was because of Qiao Yun!

Qin Xuan closed her eyes, calming the anger in her heart.

At that moment, a commotion arose in front of her.

Qin Xuan opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the noise.

Then she saw the person she had just been resenting intensely in her heart.

Qiao Yun!

What was she doing here?

Qin Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, her face showing displeasure.

Lu Zhanxing and Lu Jingzhi appeared at the party, drawing the attention of many.

Hadn’t Qin Xuan falsely accused their little sister of being a thief last time?

Now that her brothers were here, could it be that they had taken an interest in Qin Xuan?

Or had the Lu Family been forced to bow down and seek the support of the Qin Family?

Wait a second…

The person they were protecting behind them, that was Qiao Yun, right?

What were they trying to do?

Could it be that they held a grudge against Qin Xuan for what she had previously done to Qiao Yun, so they came here to cause trouble?

Now this was going to be a good show!

Everyone looked towards them, waiting to see what they intended to do.

Qin Xuan put down her glass, walked up to them, looked at Qiao Yun, and said impatiently, “What are you doing here?”

Qiao Yun said innocently, “I came to see you.”

To Qin Xuan, these words sounded like she came to laugh at her misfortune!

Onlooking crowd: They really did come to wreck the place!

Qin Xuan, grinding her teeth, asked her attendant, “How do you guys do things? How did you let them in? I did not invite them.”

She hated Qiao Yun to death, how could she possibly invite her brother to the party.

The attendant said with utter fear, “Miss, they had invitations, so I let them in.”

Qin Xuan frowned, so they had actually gone to the trouble of obtaining invitations? Were they indeed here to spoil her affairs?

Lu Zhanxing, with a strange smile on his handsome face, said, “Miss Qin, do you really not welcome us that much? Do you think we’re not worthy of you?”

“You’re not welcome here, please leave!”

Qin Xuan sneered at Qiao Yun, “I really didn’t expect you to be so malicious. Can’t you bear to see me well? I truly want Li Hanzhou to come and see for himself what kind of person you really are. He was indeed deceived by your innocent appearance.”

Lu Jingzhi, looking displeased, said, “Miss Qin, when you talk about others, you should first ask yourself what kind of person you are.”

“Are you here to cause trouble? Who gave you the audacity to make trouble on Qin Family’s turf?”

“Of course it’s…” Lu Zhanxing paused for effect, “Of course it’s your intentional murder that gives us the courage.”

At this remark, the whole venue fell silent.

All the scions of wealthy families were looking at them.

Their ears could barely believe what they had just heard.

Lu Zhanxing said Qin Xuan had intentionally murdered someone?

Was that true?

On hearing these words from Lu Zhanxing, Qin Xuan’s pupils constricted, and her body trembled slightly.

Lu Zhanxing and Lu Jingzhi saw this reaction clearly.

Lu Zhanxing sneered and said to the people around, “She’s a murderer, yet you really think someone would dare to marry her?”

Everyone exchanged glances, unable to digest Lu Zhanxing’s words for a moment.

Qin Xuan felt a chill in her limbs and forced herself to calm down, her voice rising, “What nonsense are you spouting? Whom have I murdered? Do you have any evidence?”

Someone wanting to show off in front of Qin Xuan immediately spoke out, “Young Master Lu, you shouldn’t accuse someone without evidence.”

“You two men ganging up on a woman like this isn’t right, is it?”

“Even if you want to avenge your sister, it’s inappropriate to do so in this setting. It really lacks grace.”

Lu Jingzhi, ignoring the voices around him, spoke unhurriedly, “Do you dare say that you didn’t find someone to harm my brother Lu Shiran, trying to cripple him? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Shiran returning to the Qin Family will be an obstacle to you? Or is it because you wanted to target my sister that you harmed Shiran?”

Qin Xuan’s eyes widened, feeling panicked and disconcerted by his questioning.

Lu Jingzhi’s words also made the crowd realize something.

They nearly forgot that Lu Shiran was now the true grandson of the Qin Family’s old master. If he returned to the Qin Family, it would not bode well for Madame Qin and her family.

Furthermore, given Qin Xuan’s previous frame-up of Qiao Yun as a thief, it wouldn’t be surprising if she did such a thing!

This woman, has she gone mad?

Many people began to regret attending the party today, fearing they might marry a modern-day “Pan Jinlian” and be poisoned by their own wife.

With everyone’s doubtful gazes upon her, Qin Xuan declared loudly, “It has nothing to do with me, I didn’t harm him!”

Lu Zhanxing smiled and stated, “Do you think we would confront you face-to-face if we weren’t confident in our evidence?”

Qin Xuan turned to Qiao Yun, angrily accusing, “Are you framing me because you’re afraid I’ll steal Brother Li from you? Think carefully about the consequences of provoking the Qin Family, you can’t bear them!”

Qiao Yun’s dark eyes were clear and calm, her gaze neither warm nor cold as she looked at Qin Xuan, “Premeditated murder is a grave crime. Do you know how long the sentence could be? Hmm, plus possession of drugs, the maximum penalty in the country is the death sentence.”

When Qin Xuan’s dark eyes met Qiao Yun’s, she inexplicably felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head.

Her face turned somewhat pale.

She never expected the Lu family to suspect her.

She thought she had been cautious enough.

Seeing the disappointed and mocking glances from the people around her, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

But she quickly thought of another possibility.

Perhaps they were trying to intimidate her, possessing no real evidence.

However, Lu Zhanxing’s next words made her knees go weak again.

“If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it. You think you’ve been cautious, but you underestimate the power of technology.”

Lu Zhanxing gave a gentle smile, “It’s Mike, isn’t it? Your ardent admirer. Does he know you used him? Care to share?”

Boom.

Qin Xuan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her from the sky, scorching her inside and out, stiffening her entire body.

Lu Zhanxing continued softly by her ear, “Come on, tell me, I’m really curious.”

Qin Xuan’s lips turned pale, and her voice trembled as she said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know any Mike.”

She denied it vehemently, refusing to admit anything.

Lu Zhanxing remained calm, “You don’t have to admit it, but if we had no evidence, how could we be so sure it was you? Sooner or later, you will be severely punished by the law, it’s only a matter of time now.”

Qiao Yun nodded in agreement, “Doing bad things, you have to get locked up.”

Qin Xuan glared fiercely at them, “What do you want by coming here today? Since you keep saying you have evidence, why not just arrest me?”

Instead, they had to come and humiliate her at her door.

Before Lu Jingzhi or Lu Zhanxing could speak, Qiao Yun took the lead, “Surrender yourself.”

“What?” Qin Xuan was a bit slow to respond.

Qiao Yun’s expression was blank, “We’re giving you a chance to surrender yourself.”

Lu Jingzhi and Lu Zhanxing frowned in confusion.

Qin Xuan laughed furiously, “Ha, why should I surrender myself when I haven’t done anything?”

“You have one day,” Qiao Yun said emotionlessly. “When the day is up, if you haven’t surrendered, we’ll come arrest you.”

Qin Xuan, thinking of prison, stiffened her spine and coldly glared at Qiao Yun.

After Qiao Yun said this, she didn’t wait for Qin Xuan’s response, and left swaggeringly with her bewildered brother.

Once they were outside the Qin Family’s door,

Lu Zhanxing asked in confusion, “Sister, why did you just let her go? She won’t possibly surrender herself.”

Lu Jingzhi said gravely, “Sister, you are too kind.”

Qiao Yun blinked and said, “She won’t surrender.”

“Huh?”

“So?”

Qiao Yun spoke casually, “She will run. The Qin Family will help her escape.”

Lu Zhanxing instantly understood, “So it’s fleeing from crime, aiding a suspect, counts as an accomplice, right?”

“Yes.” Qiao Yun looked approvingly at Lu Zhanxing, “Fleeing from crime, adds another degree to the crime.”

She had already arranged for surveillance on all members of the Qin Family–Qin Xuan couldn’t escape.

Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi silently retracted his earlier remark about his sister being too kind.
