The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xi Yuanchen frowned deeply: "In the video you recorded, did you also clearly see that the person deliberately fell down?" The hotel's surveillance cameras were facing away from both parties, and Yao Yingxi was wearing her own coat that night, which didn't fit well and looked very loose, so it was impossible to see clearly whether Yao Yingxi pushed the person or the person deliberately fell down.

Xiao Sen nodded: "The video is on my phone now, I can send it to you now."

“Okay.” Xi Yuanchen was a little anxious. After exchanging messages on the messaging app with Xiao Sen, Xiao Sen sent him the video.

Xi Yuanchen didn't click to read it; instead, he was eager to leave.

Xiao Sen called out to him.

Xi Yuanchen turned his head and said, "Your video helped me, so I owe you a favor. As for the contract, leave it here. I'll read it and go to your company with my secretary tomorrow to sign it."

Xiao Sen understood his anxiety and nodded after receiving his promise: "Then I wish you success in resolving this matter."

The top-level employees at GP only saw their boss rushing from the conference room toward the stairs, as if his wife had been beaten.

Just as Anan was about to step out of the elevator, the door opened and he saw their boss standing at the elevator entrance, head down, pressing his phone, looking very anxious.

He called out, "Boss."

Xi Yuanchen looked up and saw Anan standing in the elevator. He said, "Come out with me."

He wasn't in a hurry to make the video public; he planned to pick up Yao Yingxi and tell her about it.

Yao Yingxi hasn't been sleeping well these past few days, and he knows that because he's been worried something bad might happen.

Anan nodded without asking any questions.

Once downstairs, they went to the car. Xi Yuanchen got into the back seat, while Anan sat in the driver's seat and drove.

Xi Yuanchen looked down at the video Xiao Sen had just sent, and the more he watched, the angrier he became.

Because we were far away, we couldn't hear the sound, but we could tell what Yao Yingxi said just by looking at her lip movements. However, Liang Pingyin's reaction was too aggressive.

Judging from the video, Yao Yingxi didn't want to pay attention to her and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, she grabbed Yao Yingxi's hand, turned her back to the stairs, and started shouting before she even fell down.

Xi Yuanchen knew that it was because she called out to Yao Yingxi to push her, so that everyone's attention would be drawn to her.

Before Yao Yingxi could react, Liang Pingyin released Yao Yingxi's arm and deliberately fell down the stairs.

The scene instantly descended into chaos, and the video ended there.

The car arrived at the police station just then.

It was all such a coincidence. Xi Yuanchen had just gotten out of the car when Yao Yingxi came out of the police station. When Yao Yingxi saw Xi Yuanchen standing at the door, she paused for a few seconds, then smiled and walked towards him: "Chen, what brings you here?"

The deputy director who came up behind to escort Yao Yingxi saw Xi Yuanchen, paused for a few seconds, and then quickly came up to him: "President Xi, why did you come here in person? I was just about to take Miss Yao home."

Xi Yuanchen glanced at him indifferently, then reached out and took Yao Yingxi's hand: "Is the statement taken?"

"It's done, it's done."

"Can we file a case next, or is it just a simple investigation with statements?" Xi Yuanchen asked again.

The deputy director said nervously, "No case will be filed, no case will be filed, Director Xi, don't worry."

He was afraid of what Xi Yuanchen said, thinking that the police station would open a case, and if the truth found out was wrong... or if Yao Yingxi was arrested, they would have a hard time explaining themselves.

Xi Yuanchen said coldly, "We've all given statements, but you're not filing a case? Do you think we have too much time to spare?"

The deputy director, unsure of Xi Yuanchen's meaning, paused for a moment before cautiously asking, "Mr. Xi, are you really going to file a case?"

Xi Yuanchen hummed in agreement and then said, "I don't want to repeat myself. You can just file a case, or you don't have to investigate. Don't the people want an explanation? I will give them an explanation when the time comes."

As the deputy director was pondering the meaning of Xi Yuanchen's words, Xi Yuanchen led Yao Yingxi into the car.

"Why was a case filed? We can't find any surveillance footage or eyewitnesses who didn't push Liang Pingyin."

Xi Yuanchen raised his hand and touched her head: "Someone filmed what happened that night."

Yao Yingxi was shocked: "Really?"

Three days have passed since the incident, and now that we have the video, is it from surveillance cameras or was it filmed by someone?

"Let me show you. I don't plan to announce this right away." He discussed with Yao Yingxi, "Since Liang Pingyin wants to die, I'll help her out."

Yao Yingxi remained silent.

Xi Yuanchen continued, "That's all. Liang family, some people who want to cause trouble will have to see if they have the ability."

“Okay, as long as you can prove my innocence, Mr. Xi, whatever you do first, I won’t interfere,” Yao Yingxi agreed.

This time, the two of them didn't go back to the company, but went back to their apartment.

The reporters at the building entrance were either intimidated by Xi Yuanchen's announcement of sending a lawyer's letter or driven away by security guards; the entrance was now deserted.

Back at the apartment, Yao Yingxi was in a great mood. She took out her phone from her bag and said, "I'll tell Tom and the others." It was obvious that Tom knew about Xi Yuanchen's arrangement for her to skip Tom's classes for a while, given how big the incident had become.

Xi Yuanchen didn't stop her anymore. He had said he was worried that Yao Yingxi would be too tired, but that was just an excuse, and neither of them called it out.

As soon as I turned on my phone, a flood of missed call notifications and text messages came in, ringing incessantly.

"Who sent you so many messages?" Xi Yuanchen walked over and happened to see Yao Yingxi open a text message that showed Xiu Yan's name.

His eyes darkened, and then he looked away.

Seventy percent of the text messages on her phone were notifications from Xiu Yan that her phone was switched off, and more than twenty percent were from unknown numbers. Yao Yingxi checked and found that most of them were numbers from other provinces or cities.

She frowned, set her phone to automatically block missed calls, and then sent Xiu Yan a text message: "I'm fine, I'm doing well now. Liang Pingyin's miscarriage wasn't my fault, don't worry about me."

Less than a minute after Yao Yingxi sent the text message, her phone rang. It was Xiu Yan calling.

When Xi Yuanchen heard the phone ring, he snorted and his expression turned cold.

Yao Yingxi smiled, answered the call, and put it on speakerphone.

"Xiaoxi, are you alright? Don't look at any of the news online these past few days." Xiuyan's voice on the phone was urgent and filled with worry.

"Okay, I'm sorry to have worried you because my phone has been off these past few days."

"No, your phone was off, so it's good that you didn't see it. I just happened to have something to do that day and didn't attend the banquet. I found out from the news."

"I didn't cause Liang Pingyin's miscarriage. Don't believe the news online or what other people say." Yao Yingxi didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only tell Xiu Yan about the matter.

“I never believed it, Xiaoxi. Don’t worry, I’ve known you for so long, I know what kind of person you are.” Xiuyan quickly said.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Xiuyan, let's talk again when we have time."

Seeing that Xi Yuanchen's expression was getting increasingly grim, Yao Yingxi had no choice but to quickly tell Xiu Yan and hang up the phone.
