Chapter 127: Revenge
When Xu Jingyi saw this news, he lost control and smashed his mobile phone to pieces.
So his words were just wind in his ears? He had warned them countless times, and in less than a day, such a scandal had occurred and been filmed! It wasn’t just Xu Jingyun who lost face, but him as well.
This time, even the emperor couldn’t whitewash it!
Why were this mother and daughter so foolish? They had a winning hand and played it so badly. Victory was within reach, but because of their own cleverness, his years of effort were turned to nothing.
Xu Jingyi wished he could kill them. If it weren’t for them, how would he have ended up in such a state of being mocked by everyone?
His confidant stood by, head bowed, as silent as a cicada in winter.
“Where is Xia Minglan?” Xu Jingyi asked, suppressing his anger.
“Madam… hasn’t been seen yet,” the confidant reported in a low voice, afraid of being caught in the storm.
“What?” Xu Jingyi immediately had a bad premonition. “Didn’t I tell you to have someone keep an eye on her?”
“The person watching her also has no news.”
“Why are you telling me this now?”
“I was just about to report to you!”
“Find her for me, turn Haicheng upside down if you have to!” Xu Jingyi roared, so angry he felt like killing his confidant.
The confidant didn’t leave immediately but stammered, wanting to speak but hesitating: “Boss, I’m afraid, I’m afraid…”
“Afraid of what?” Xu Jingyi stared at him, a sense of unease he couldn’t explain growing in his heart.
“Madam went to the Xia family today, and then she and that old dog disappeared,” the confidant said, gathering his courage, his head almost touching the ground.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyi slammed the table and stood up: “Say that again!”
It was the first time the confidant had seen Xu Jingyi so enraged, and he couldn’t help but tremble, muttering: “Madam went to the Xia family.”
Xu Jingyi’s face turned pale. He suddenly deflated like a balloon and slumped into his chair, looking much older in an instant, and murmured: “It’s over, everything is over…”
Just as the Xia family was within their grasp, if it weren’t for the foolishness of Xia Minglan and her daughter, who pushed Xia Chenge too hard, how could Xia Chenge have recovered, played the pig to eat the tiger, and schemed step by step.
While they were completely unprepared, she dug pits and took revenge on them without them realizing it. He had thought Xia Chenge was no threat, allowing her to push herself into a desperate situation, and she even gained a backer like the Ling family.
When did things start to go this way? He hadn’t noticed anything.
“Boss, what should we do now?” the confidant asked Xu Jingyi, steeling himself.
“Find her, until Xia Minglan is found.” Xu Jingyi came back to his senses, regaining his ruthless demeanor.
More than ten years ago, he could make Xia Mingxuan die in an ‘accident’ without anyone noticing. More than ten years later, he could similarly make Xia Chenge disappear from the world without a trace.
Xu Jingyi clenched his fists. After the confidant left, he made a phone call.
At that moment, his eyes held only a deep killing intent.
——
The next morning.
Xia Chenge was still asleep when she was awakened by Wei En’s urgent knocking.
Usually, Yan Yue would wake her up. Today it was Wei En, so something must have happened! Xia Chenge didn’t delay, washed and dressed as quickly as possible, and then went to open the door.
Wei En was extremely angry: “Little Miss, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results. The incident involving Young Master and Madam back then was not an accident, but man-made!”
Xia Chenge quickly took the information and scanned it.
As she had predicted, the deaths of the original owner’s parents were not simple.
She just didn’t expect Xu Jingyi and Xia Minglan to be such beasts, injecting the original owner’s parents with a large amount of drugs, which led to them crashing their car on the highway in a state of extreme excitement.
Xu Jingyi bribed the police officer in charge of the case at the time and, using the excuse that the elderly could not withstand stimulation, concealed the autopsy results, making everyone believe that Xia Mingxuan and his wife had died in a simple accident.
A few years later, the people who handled Xia Mingxuan’s case either died in accidents or suddenly disappeared, and the truth of Xia Mingxuan’s death was completely buried.
Xu Jingyi also took over Sheng Xia, creating an image of dedication to charity. In reality, he used Sheng Xia’s financial loopholes for personal gain, developing his own business.
Under his management, Sheng Xia maintained a facade of prosperity, but in reality, it was a collapsing structure.
The Xia family had long lost its former strength.
If it weren’t for Old Master Xia’s insistence on guarding the property that belonged to the original owner, Haicheng would probably have the Xu family and no Xia family.
Because of desire, a happy and fulfilling family was torn apart!
Perhaps due to the lingering emotions of the original owner, Xia Chenge felt an uncontrollable surge of hatred. She couldn’t help but clench her fist, and the document instantly crumpled.
Xia Chenge let the hatred show on her face: “We repay kindness with kindness, and if there is enmity, then we will take revenge!”
“Revenge for enmity!” Wei En said indignantly.
“Their retribution will come soon, Grandpa Wei, just you wait and see,” Xia Chenge sneered.
Xu Jingyi must have gone mad seeing the news about Xu Jingyun, right? Xia Minglan is missing, and she didn’t believe Xu Jingyi wouldn’t act like a cornered dog.
“Okay, I’ll wait and see their retribution,” Wei En said, clenching his fists, radiating intense hatred.
After Wei En went downstairs, Xia Chenge reread the document and, with a wave of her hand, it disappeared into thin air.
Then, Xia Chenge went to the elders’ room.
The two elders were already awake, and Yan Yue was helping them wash their faces.
Seeing Xia Chenge, Old Master Xia quickly beckoned her to his bedside and looked at her deeply: “Xiao Ge, are you feeling alright?”
Xia Chenge knew he was worried about her, so she smiled and said, “I can kill a tiger now, what do you think?”
“This child!” Old Madam Xia chuckled upon hearing this. “Don’t go killing tigers, they are protected animals.”
“Grandma, I was just joking, don’t take it seriously,” Xia Chenge stuck out her tongue.
Xia Chenge held Old Master Xia’s hand and, while talking, continuously infused her healing power into him, repairing his frail body bit by bit.
Old Master Xia felt a warm current slowly flowing through his body, but he didn’t pay much attention to it, his focus remaining on Xia Chenge.
After infusing enough healing power, Xia Chenge took Old Madam’s hand and repaired her body in the same way.
Neither of the elders knew that while talking to their granddaughter, the illnesses that had plagued them for years had been cured, and they would soon be able to stand up again.
After repairing the bodies of the two elders, Xia Chenge felt as if all her strength had been drained.
Their bodies were too weak and required a large amount of healing power. They couldn’t fully recover immediately; the healing power needed time to slowly repair their bodies for complete recovery.
This process would likely take three to four days.
Xia Chenge didn’t want them to notice anything unusual about her, so she used the excuse of going to school to tell the two elders to rest well and returned to her room.
She sat on the bed, closed her eyes, and rested, recovering her depleted energy.
Half an hour later, Xia Chenge suddenly opened her eyes, which shone like stars: Xu Jingyi, it’s time to settle the score with you!
