Is there anyone normal in this family?
Amidst the chaos, they still had business to attend to. Taking advantage of the fact that Yun Zhi Yue was still asleep, the three of them drove away from the capital, preparing to engage in some clandestine activities. Of course, they didn't forget to grab a hapless member of the Nie Family and stuff him into the trunk.
Following the route provided by Nie Xi, they parked the car on a deserted roadside without cameras or people, waiting for their target to appear. Yun Shijiu, gripping the steering wheel, pondered aloud, "As long as the Feng Family is still around, my sister won't find peace. We need to come up with a way to deal with them all at once; otherwise, how can we enjoy ourselves?"
The two spoke freely without any regard for Nie Xi, as if they had already considered him nothing more than Yun Zhi Yue's possession.
Yue Shi gazed out the window and remarked, "Wiping out everyone in the Feng Family isn't realistic. Even with Ye Lian's help, it's impossible. However, there is a way to make them leave."
Yun Shijiu perked up with interest. "What method? Don't keep me in suspense; just tell me."
Yue Shi glanced at Nie Xi, who was obediently listening to their conversation, and said meaningfully, "As long as Nie Zhui dies and goes to where he belongs, the Feng Family will definitely follow suit out of fear of being implicated."
"But here's the problem: if we provoke him into regaining his memory, we will undoubtedly be killed in return. My sister can act without fear of death but will likely end up at a disadvantage. Therefore, we need someone who can balance things out with Nie Zhui to take action."
Under their scrutinizing gazes, Nie Xi replied earnestly, "I am a member of the Sanmin; I will never engage in murder or arson. Besides, that person is my kin—give up on that idea."
Yue Shi maintained his composure. "Nie Zhui was the only man my sister ever loved wholeheartedly."
The water bottle in Nie Xi's hand suddenly crumpled under his grip. No one spoke further in the car, but an unspoken understanding lingered—everyone knew how impactful those words were.
A black car approached from a distance. Yun Shijiu spotted it and tossed aside his sunglasses before disappearing from the vehicle.
Zhi Yao Group.
The door to the president's office was abruptly pushed open as Nie Langyuan stormed in with an ugly expression. With just a glance from Nie Zhui, the secretary who followed immediately retreated and closed the door tightly behind her.
"What happened?" Nie Zhui asked calmly while handling documents on his computer.
Nie Langyuan looked at the thick stack of files on the desk and sighed heavily. "Brother, Ye Lian is clearly out to deal with us big families. After our committee's meeting with the Feng Family, they mysteriously died at home. I knew this matter wasn't over, but I never expected it would come back to haunt us in the Nie Family."
Nie Zhui raised his gaze. "Explain clearly."
"Two members of the Feng Family were found dead on a mountain road outside Beijing," Nie Langyuan continued. "My cousin Nie Ping was at the scene holding the murder weapon and couldn't explain how he got there. The surveillance footage didn't capture how he appeared either."
"Before these two died, Ye Lian had visited Yun Family. I checked again on the timing of their deaths relative to when people from Yun Family were present; it turns out all three had been recorded on surveillance cameras in Beijing at that time—there's a discrepancy."
"But we both witnessed Yun Shijiu's video-making skills firsthand; I suspect there's something fishy about this situation. It’s likely that Yun Family is framing us. But that seems absurd—we brought them into Beijing for food and drink; why would they target the Nie Family?"
Was it simply to listen to Ye Lian's instructions? When Nie Ping was brought in, the media caught sight of him, and it wouldn't be long before the news of a murderer emerging from the Nie Family spread like wildfire.
Nie Xi listened to everything in silence, picked up the coat from the hanger, and prepared to leave.
"Hey? Where are you going, brother?" Nie Langyuan asked loudly.
Yun Zhi Yue also didn't expect her sons to be so capable. In the time it took her to take a nap, everything had already been taken care of.
Upon receiving a call from Nie Zhui, she understood the situation. Supporting her weary body, she changed into a fresh outfit and headed out for the meeting.
