The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

The shooting incident, which garnered widespread public attention, was resolved that same evening.

The crowd was astonished, never expecting that the victim was Yao Yingxi and the suspect was the former driver of the chairman of Hengyuan Group.

Immediately, the public speculated whether the Xu family had some entanglement with Yao Yingxi, which was why they did this.

A small number of people said that the conflict between the Xu family and Yao Yingxi was caused by Xu Xinya targeting Yao Yingxi, and that Yao Yingxi might have been involved in the downfall of Hengyuan Group.

Yao Yingxi sat on the sofa watching the news report, her face looking rather pale.

When she heard about what had happened during the day again and recalled it, she still couldn't help but tremble.

Once again, if Xi Yuanchen hadn't arrived in time, he would have already turned into an urn.

After taking a shower, Xi Yuanchen came downstairs and saw Yao Yingxi sitting on the sofa with an unhappy expression.

He walked straight to the liquor cabinet. Yao Yingxi only saw him come down when she came to her senses. Seeing him pour wine, she really wanted a glass, but she was afraid of getting drunk again, so she stopped herself from speaking.

Xi Yuanchen walked to the sofa with a wine glass in his hand. Yao Yingxi sat up straight and asked, "Mr. Xi, why didn't Fugui choose to betray Xu Hengyuan? What benefits did Xu Hengyuan give him that made him give up his freedom?"

Xi Yuanchen swirled the wine in his glass. "Money."

A disabled man has a wife and daughter. If he hadn't been bribed with money, why would he be so determined to extricate Xu Hengyuan from his situation?

From the moment the police captain called that afternoon, he had already guessed that the man wouldn't honestly reveal Xu Hengyuan's identity.

Doing this in a busy downtown area means there's no turning back, regardless of whether you succeed or not.

Yao Yingxi was stunned.

The following day, it was revealed that the public security department had once again intervened in the investigation of the tax evasion case of Hengyuan Group and confirmed that the matter was true.

The online frenzy has yet to subside, and the buzz remains unabated.

Xu Hengyuan's secretary, whose brows furrowed as several calls from company executives went unanswered, said, "I still can't reach the chairman. He hasn't come back since he left yesterday afternoon."

And after all that happened, Xu Hengyuan has probably gone into hiding, so how could we possibly still contact him?

A central government official Weibo account and CCTV exposed several government officials for accepting bribes, and the evidence was conclusive. The briber was Xu Hengyuan, chairman of Hengyuan Group.

Furthermore, the relevant authorities have already issued an arrest warrant for Xu Hengyuan.

As soon as the news broke, Hengyuan Group's stock plummeted, and the company's employees were in a state of panic.

Police officers arrived at the entrance of Hengyuan Group Building, forced all employees out, and then sealed the building.

Meanwhile, some people went to the Xu family villa to check but couldn't find Xu Hengyuan. They also kicked out the servants and sealed off the Xu family's property.

For several days in a row, I, Xu Hengyuan, disappeared from sight as if I had vanished into thin air.

In an abandoned old factory in Yuncheng, Xu Hengyuan, dressed in ordinary, somewhat worn-out clothes and with a dirty face, was squatting on the ground eating his lunchbox.

His money was stolen during the days he was wanted by the police.

The thought of being unable to return home, having gone bankrupt, and being pursued by the police filled him with regret, wishing he had killed Yao Yingxi back then.

That way, none of these things would have happened.

After finishing his boxed lunch, he was wearing a pair of worn-out canvas shoes, his hair was disheveled, and he was dressed in rags, looking exactly like a beggar.

It would be difficult for anyone to recognize that this man is Xu Hengyuan, the once-glorious and great entrepreneur.

When Yao Yingxi walked out of the apartment, she was followed by two bodyguards.

Since that incident, and given that Xu Hengyuan has still not been arrested, Xi Yuanchen, ostensibly to ensure her safety and prevent him from having to rescue her again, has assigned two bodyguards to accompany her.

Yao Yingxi couldn't protest. She got into her car and drove on, unaware that someone was standing at the door of her apartment, their eagle-like eyes fixed on her.

Xu Hengyuan spent several days in a row, but Yao Yingxi was always accompanied by bodyguards wherever she went, or she was always with Xi Yuanchen. He had no chance to make a move.

Yao Yingxi carried the groceries towards the apartment.

Suddenly someone voiced their disdain: "When did they start letting beggars into our community? I've seen it several times already. I'll talk to the property management about it."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yingxi instinctively turned towards the source of the sound.

When Xu Hengyuan saw someone talking about him like that, he clenched his hands tightly at his sides.

He lowered his eyes and noticed Yao Yingxi looking in his direction. Afraid of alerting her, he quickly ran away.

Yao Yingxi stood at a distance for a long time, feeling that the figure was familiar no matter how she looked at it.

"looking at what?"

A familiar voice rang in her ears. Yao Yingxi turned her head and saw Xi Yechen, who had returned at some point and was standing beside her. She was stunned for a few seconds before looking away: "No, I wasn't looking at anything."

Xi Yuanchen frowned slightly, glanced at her with some displeasure, and silently walked inside.

Xu Hengyuan hurriedly left the place, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following him.

He was almost seen by Yao Yingxi, which made him worry.

This would ruin any opportunity he had to make a move on Yao Yingxi at any time.

He's now plotting something to distract Yao Yingxi's two bodyguards, so he can fight her to the death.

He has nothing, and he will absolutely not let this rebellious son live in this world.

And He Qinfang, Xu Xinya, those who betrayed him, they all deserve to die a horrible death.

Xi Yuanchen and Yao Yingxi entered the elevator, and Xi Yuanchen said coldly, "We've found Xu Hengyuan's whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yingxi was taken aback. Had she really misread it just now?

She glanced at Xi Yuanchen and asked, "Where are you?"

“Abandoned industrial areas in the suburbs”.

A place Yao Yingxi had never even heard of.

Back at the apartment, Yao Yingxi put the food in the kitchen and started cooking. Xi Yuanchen didn't offer to help like he did last time.

Just as Yao Yingxi finished her work, he came out of the study.

"Mr. Xi."

Xi Yuanchen nodded and sat down. Yao Yingxi kept her eyes down, picking at the rice in her bowl.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Mr. Xi, I want to go see Xu Hengyuan."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanchen looked up and stared at her.

Xu Hengyuan remained in Yuncheng but did not make a move against Yao Yingxi because he lacked the opportunity, not because he did not want to.

That kind of person has nothing now, and is capable of doing anything outrageous.

Yao Yingxi looked him straight in the eye: "I want to hear what happened to Xu Hengyuan back then myself. I don't want to hear his account in the police station."

Xi Yuanchen remained silent, which was taken as an agreement.

After finishing her meal, Yao Yingxi went back to her room to change her clothes. She put on a black coat and shoes before leaving the dressing room.

Xi Yuanchen was nowhere to be seen in the apartment. She stared at him blankly for a few moments before leaving.

At the same time, Xu Xinya was driving past Hengyuan Group's building and saw that the entrance was sealed off.

I parked the car for quite a while before starting it and leaving.

She has been closely watching the news these past few days.

With Hengyuan Group's bankruptcy, its popularity is waning, and it's believed that it won't be long before everything she's owned since childhood disappears.

Suddenly, I feel very reluctant to part with it.
