Chapter 729 - Chapter 729 Chapter 729 I Dont Want to Die (Announcement)

Chapter 729: Chapter 729: I Don’t Want to Die!! (Announcement) Chapter 729: Chapter 729: I Don’t Want to Die!! (Announcement) Qiao Yun curled her lips, “I don’t like you.”

Lu Shiran’s expression was as if he had eaten shit, “Pah, disgusting thing.”

Qin Yuan seemed to notice Lu Shiran just then, his voice cold and heavy, “I almost forgot about you. If it weren’t for you, my plan wouldn’t have been disrupted.”

It was as though he thought of something amusing, his gaze shifting back and forth between Elder Mr. Qin and Lu Shiran.

“Grandpa, don’t say I’m cruel, now I’ll give you a choice. Lu Shiran and you, who do you choose to survive?”

Elder Mr. Qin didn’t answer, his face showing hesitation, but anyone could see the answer in his heart.

Qin Yuan burst into laughter, “To Grandpa, Lu Shiran isn’t that important, otherwise he wouldn’t have thought about using you against me and now he’s considering abandoning you.”

Elder Mr. Qin hurriedly explained, “Shiran, don’t listen to his nonsense. Grandpa didn’t mean that.”

Lu Shiran disdained, “Stop recognizing relatives at random, you’re not my grandpa.”

He had long seen through Elder Mr. Qin, and thus his heart wasn’t saddened or pained.

He used to think Elder Mr. Qin was somewhat pitiable. What a blindness!

Qin Yuan slowly said, “So Grandpa chooses to let himself survive?”

Elder Mr. Qin’s lips moved slightly, and with a look of having no choice, he said, “The Qin family can’t be without me. If something happens to me, the Qin family will definitely be thrown into chaos. By then, many people will be affected, and how many families will be torn apart by the repercussions.”

If only one could survive, he would definitely choose himself.

After all, he was just a selfish person.

Qiao Yun glanced at her cellphone, then lifted her head and said to Qin Yuan with a relaxed tone, “Haven’t you noticed something’s off?”

Qin Yuan’s brow furrowed tightly. He only realized something was wrong after Qiao Yun’s reminder.

He had already sent out the instructions; why was there still no movement from his men?

Qin Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he briskly turned to look at his subordinates, “Bring the people in.”

The subordinate immediately took out his phone and dialed out, but no one answered even until the call ended.

Cold sweat covered his forehead, “Young Master, I can’t reach them.”

Qin Yuan’s face underwent a sudden change, and he quickly looked at Qiao Yun, “What have you done?”

Zhou You spoke menacingly, “The garbage you brought isn’t even enough to stick between my subordinates’ teeth!”

There was no shortage of people protecting Professor Qiao to begin with.

This time, a whole team had been dispatched.

Qin Yuan’s men were indeed well-trained, but they paled in comparison to Zhou You’s, who had already captured them while Qin Yuan was making all his preparations.

Zhou You sent out an order.

The awaiting subordinates streamed in one after the other, surrounding the entire meeting room.

Qin Yuan and his men were taken aback.

Without any hesitation, Qin Yuan swiftly raised his handgun, attempting to break through.

Upon seeing Qin Yuan’s action, Lu Shiran almost reflexively lunged in front of Qiao Yun, shouting, “Sister, be careful!”

Bang!

A sound rang out.

At this moment, countless images flashed through Lu Shiran’s mind, ultimately freezing on his own funeral, where his family was in utter despair.

Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, I’m going first, don’t be sad.

Sister, I’ll still be your brother in the next life.

Ahh, my mother, I don’t want to die!!

Lu Shiran clenched his eyes shut, screaming in his heart while waiting for death to come.

However, after a long wait…

He didn’t feel any pain.

Huh? Why am I not dead yet?

Lu Shiran cautiously opened one eye, only to see Qiao Yun pursing her lips, seemingly giving him an exasperated smile.

Lu Shiran blinked, “Sister, I’m not dead?”

Qiao Yun hadn’t spoken when a cold voice rang in her ear, “Not dead yet, have you hugged enough?”

Immediately after, someone grabbed his collar from behind and mercilessly tossed him into Zhou You’s arms.

Zhou You: “…”

Lu Shiran raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him wearing a black shirt, with a casual demeanor, clear and handsome features, and malicious flaring from his peach blossom eyes, it was Li Hanzhou.

He was stunned, “Boss Li?”

Li Hanzhou’s lips curled up slightly, “You’re quite bold.”

Lu Shiran touched his nose and puffed up his chest, stating, “Protecting my sister is an unquestionable duty.”

Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, looking towards Qiao Yun, whose pale little face was turned towards him, and asked softly, “Are you hurt?”

“Ah?” Qiao Yun came back to her senses and then shook her head, “No, I’m not.”

Just as Qin Yuan was about to make a move, Li Hanzhou suddenly appeared and accurately shot Qin Yuan.

Just like a dragon-slaying hero, he rescued the princess from the clutches of the evil dragon.

Qiao Yun suddenly felt that Li Hanzhou was kind of handsome, making her little heart thump wildly.

She touched her chest and said with bright eyes, “You’re really handsome.”

Li Hanzhou’s eyes softened as he touched her face, “You’re only realizing this now?”

Qiao Xun’s face was expressionless, even pondering if he should chop off Li Hanzhou’s hand that was touching Qiao Yun?

He knew that Li Hanzhou was harboring a one-sided affection for Qiao Yun.

But after not seeing each other for so long, how come the atmosphere between these two suddenly seemed to be filled with pink bubbles?

It must be an illusion.

Qiao Xun was certain that the naive Xiaoqiao couldn’t possibly be aware of Li Hanzhou’s feelings.

“Didn’t you leave?” Qiao Yun asked.

“I couldn’t rest assured about you,” Li Hanzhou had never left.

Qiao Yun’s gaze flickered, and she made an “Oh” sound, her eyes seeming to shine a bit brighter.

Qiao Xun: Illusion, illusion…

“But it seems I arrived just in time,” Li Hanzhou commented as he looked at Qin Yuan, whose face was ghastly pale.

The gun that was initially in Qin Yuan’s hand had fallen to the ground, and fresh blood was streaming from his wrist, dripping down unabated.

Madam Qin instinctively went to attend to him, “You’re bleeding, quickly stop the blood …”

She was in a panic looking for something to stop Qin Yuan’s bleeding.

She soon came to her senses, realizing her behavior was truly despicable.

Her own son had tried to kill her, and here she was, rushing to care for him.

Swallowing the complex emotions in his heart, Qin Yuan laughed at Qiao Yun, “It was my oversight, I didn’t expect Boss Li cared about you to this extent… Qiao Yun, I’m truly starting to like you more and more.”

With the current situation, there was no way he could turn things around.

Lu Shiran frowned, “My sister isn’t someone you can fancy, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up.”

Now that Qin Yuan was restrained, Lu Shiran spoke with more confidence.

Thinking about the embarrassing scene just now, his face turned beet red.

Li Hanzhou looked down on Qin Yuan as if bestowing charity, the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly fading, “Qin Yuan, it seems you really wish to die? If I wanted to kill you right now, it would be a piece of cake.”

Qiao Yun pulled on Li Hanzhou’s hand, saying earnestly, “You can’t kill people, it’s against the law.”

“Alright, I won’t kill anyone,” Li Hanzhou complied obediently.

Qiao Xun’s temples throbbed with tension: It must be an illusion; Xiaoqiao definitely didn’t grab Li Hanzhou’s hand.

Seeing the situation turning in his favor, Old Master Qin began to laugh out loud, “Hahaha, you’re not as good as a little girl! You actually got played by a little girl.”

Qin Yuan’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he mocked, “Grandpa, are you any better? Whether you can live a few more years is still unknown. Now who can you rely on? The Qin Family will slowly devour you.”

“That’s right, your own grandson doesn’t even want to take care of you, let alone the fact that you just tried to sacrifice him to save your own life.”

Lu Shiran was a bit annoyed by this, “You’re the most vicious person I’ve ever seen.”

The old master’s eyes flickered with calculating shrewdness, his voice hoarse and his expression sincere as he defended his actions.

“Shiran, listen to Grandpa,” the will was just a temporary measure, and once Grandpa is out of danger, he can’t do anything to you. Grandpa never wanted to hurt you, nor did he ever think of using you as a shield. Just now, it was all to deceive him, to let him lower his guard.”

Shiran was his only bloodline, and he didn’t want to have an outright confrontation with Shiran.

Shiran certainly didn’t believe his nonsense; he had seen through the old man’s tricks and sneered, “Acting like a big shot now, do you think I’d believe you? I’m not an idiot.”

He said indignantly, “I already know it was you who took action against my family. You still want to deceive me.”

The old Mr. Qin was startled; he thought he had kept his actions well-hidden, but Shiran had already found out.

He opened his mouth, trying to continue his deceit, but Qiao Yun wouldn’t give him the chance. She had already decided to deal with all of them today.

Her eyes flashed with displeasure, “You harmed him, grandmother.”

Upon hearing this, the old Mr. Qin’s fingers tensed, and he turned to look at Qiao Yun, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes quickly enough.

Shiran was also stunned, “What? My grandmother was harmed by someone?”

“Mm-hmm,” Qiao Yun nodded, “I pulled up the medical records from when grandmother was hospitalized. She almost had a miscarriage because she consumed something harmful to the fetus in small amounts. She didn’t tell the family, probably not wanting to worry them.”

Shiran’s eyes turned red with anger, glaring at the old Mr. Qin, “It was you!”

“It wasn’t me,” the old Mr. Qin denied without even thinking.

He could never have imagined that Qiao Yun could uncover something from so long ago; how did she manage to do it?

But no matter what, he would never admit it!

Shiran was furious, “It was you! Who else could get close to my grandmother and make her unknowingly consume something harmful to her child? You killed her.”

“Listen to me…” the old Mr. Qin attempted to explain,

Qiao Yun interrupted him, “There’s another thing…”

She hesitated, looking at Shiran, who was in the throes of anger, worry in her eyes, unsure if she should reveal it. However, after only a brief hesitation, Qiao Yun spoke up anyway.

“Your brother’s biological father was killed by his wife.”

“My own dad?” Shiran stared blankly, his heart filling with a complex bitterness, mumbling, “Wasn’t it an accident?”

“It wasn’t,” Qiao Yun shook her head, “The car accident seemed unintentional and wasn’t discovered at the time.”

Qiao Yun employed the most advanced technological means, relentlessly tracing the source, and finally found a clue.

The year that Shiran’s biological father had the car accident, the old Mr. Qin’s wife just happened to be visiting Shangjing City.

At the same time, the driver who caused the accident suddenly came into a large sum of money.

The investigation went deeper.

It turned out that this money came from abroad.

Back then, technology wasn’t advanced, and the car accident seemed too natural. Plus, no one suspected that someone with bad intentions was targeting the Lu family, so it wasn’t discovered.

The accident was deemed unintentional, and not even the Lu family noticed anything awry.

Shiran was speechless for a long time.

Qiao Yun was worried for him and didn’t know how to comfort him.

Li Hanzhou cast his eyes down at Qiao Yun and took her small hand, gently squeezing it.

The man’s palm was warm, but Qiao Yun did not pull away, though she felt slightly uncomfortable.

Qiao Xun clenched her teeth: Haha…

The old Mr. Qin was also stunned for a long time before he could regain his senses. He questioned Qiao Yun, “Are you lying to me?”

Qiao Yun stated, “Lying to you is a waste of my time, and you’re not worth wasting my time over.”

Ultimately, the old Mr. Qin couldn’t withstand such a blow and coughed out another mouthful of blood, “How could this be…”

Mrs. Qin burst into laughter instead, “Good riddance, all of this is the retribution for what you did, Dad! If you hadn’t cheated, Mom wouldn’t have died from anger. Her killing the bastard was just an eye for an eye.”

Shiran’s eyes reddened as he clenched his fist, wanting to strike Mrs. Qin, “You shut up! It was clearly you who deceived my grandmother…”

Shiran was too agitated, so Qiao Yun asked Zhou You to hold him back.

“Let go of me, I’m going to kill her.”

Shiran struggled furiously.

Zhou You easily restrained Shiran with one hand, “Young Master Lu, please calm down first.”

“I can’t calm down!”

“Murdering and still justifying it…”

Under the noisy protests of Lu Shiran, Qiao Yun said faintly to Old Master Qin, “I know what you’re thinking, you want us to punish Qin Yuan for you, but you’ve also done bad things and have to be punished.”

Before Old Master Qin could even make sense of these words, the door to the conference room swung open.

The sight of those who entered caused a variety of dramatic expressions to appear on the faces of the Qin family members.

The newcomers were the police.

During the standoff between Old Master Qin and Mrs. Qin just moments before, Qiao Yun had Zhou You call the police.

It’s right for the bad guys to go to the cops.

The captain of the criminal police approached Old Master Qin and announced, “You are suspected in a murder case, please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

Old Master Qin was stunned for a moment, then bellowed, “Who did I murder?”

The captain of the criminal police replied, “You are suspected of murdering a worker from Lu Group.”

Old Master Qin was stunned again, his mind flashing through many images in an instant.

When he previously targeted Lu Family, there had indeed been a fatality, but at the time he had intended for the worker to be injured, not expecting a fatal accident to occur.

“I didn’t do it!”

“Whether you did or not, you’ll find out when you come with us.”

Seeing this, Qin Yuan let out a mocking chuckle, “Grandpa, you did it.”

Old Master Qin’s face changed, realizing that Qin Yuan was framing him!

Qiao Yun knew Old Master Qin was innocent and that it was Qin Yuan who had committed the act, but she didn’t explain because Old Master Qin was a bad person.

“He’s the murderer, not me,” Old Master Qin pointed to Qin Yuan.

“Grandpa, do you have any evidence?” Qin Yuan asked with a smirk, “You finally got a taste of your own medicine.”

Great-uncle sighed and shook his head on the side, “What a mess.”

As if only just remembering Qin Yuan, the captain of the criminal police then told him, “You are suspected of drug trafficking and intentional murder, come with us as well.”

He then turned to Mrs. Qin, “You are suspected of aiding and abetting a crime, please come with us for questioning.”

Lu Shiran, who was still struggling in Zhou You’s arms, was stunned.

This is a total wipeout?

He felt slightly ashamed that he hadn’t accomplished anything, and it was all his sister who had been in command of the situation.
