Chapter 998: Deliberately Looking for Trouble

Chi Shuyan’s eyes turned cold as she looked at Mother Shen. She could tolerate the other party scolding her, but that didn’t mean she could tolerate her insulting her father.

Her cold and indifferent gaze gave Mother Shen a fright, and Commissar Shen immediately told her to shut up.

Mother Shen said in disbelief, “Old Shen, you’re still helping this girl? How badly has she harmed our family? Even when I’m attending my daughter’s banquet, I’m still being watched! This girl is using that Chief Qi to harm our family! If it wasn’t for this girl, how could our Shen family have ended up like this?”

Mother Shen valued status as much as her life. She used to be very arrogant. When others saw her, they had to be cautious when they spoke to her, and had to give her face in all things. Now, Old Shen had been suspended, and they had to get permission to come out and attend their daughter’s banquet. How could Mother Shen stand the difference in treatment? She couldn’t wait to point at Chi Shuyan’s head and curse her out.

The Wei father and sons couldn’t help but chime in at that moment. Wei Xiao said to Commissar Shen, “Old Shen, you and I both know how serious the case is. Even if Yan Yan and I hadn’t uncovered the matter, could your Shen family still have lived in peace?”

His words rendered Mother Shen speechless, before she opened her mouth again.

“Shut up! Do you want to cause a ruckus at our daughter’s banquet?” Commissar Shen scolded with a dark face. He had a complicated impression of the Wei family and Chi daughter in front of him, but he firmly believed that the truth about the flowerbed would ultimately come out, and his name would be cleared.

When he thought of how so many human bones had been buried in the flowerbed behind his house, Commissar Shen’s heart turned cold. He had utterly no idea how so many human bones had been buried there.

He was even a little grateful to Chi Lingyan’s daughter for digging up the flowerbed. He wouldn’t have been able to live in peace otherwise, afraid that something would happen to his family. At the same time, he felt more and more that there was something fishy about his daughter-in-law’s death. Also, the people who had been sucked dry of blood in his daughter’s room had died in a very strange way.

After being reprimanded by Commissar Shen, Mother Shen’s face flickered between green and white. No one had been paying attention to them at first. Now that Mother Shen saw many people looking over, she quickly shut up.

At that moment, Fang Qingyang came over and took the initiative to invite them to sit down. Fang Qingyang’s att.i.tude toward Father and Mother Shen was very good, while he treated Chi Shuyan and the Wei father and sons as if they were invisible.

Not far away, Yan Youwei waved for them to sit at their table. Chi Shuyan completely treated the Fang person in front of her like he was air, and led Father Wei and the others over.

Fang Qingyang suddenly said, “Miss Chi, I know you’re a junior, and it’s not good for an elder like me to argue with you, but my mother-in-law is also an elder. How can a junior like you lose your temper with an elder? Has Captain Chi never taught you to respect your elders?”

His voice was neither loud nor soft, and the hall fell silent. Mother Shen was very appeased.

How could Chi Shuyan not know that the man surnamed Fang was deliberately looking for trouble? Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Father Wei couldn’t help but say, “Vice Commander Fang, we soldiers prioritize facts above all else. In what way did you see Yan Yan lose her temper at Mrs. Shen just now? It was Mrs. Shen who was being unforgiving.”

Father Wei couldn’t bear to see Yan Yan suffer, nor could he bear to see an elder like Fang Qingyang deliberately bully Yan Yan. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have bothered coming to the banquet.

Chi Shuyan didn’t feel that the other party was bullying her. She just felt that he was sick in the head.
