Chapter 1067: Feng Xuan’s Arrest
Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Jue’s expression remained calm, as if unbothered. “Oh? They were really careless, weren’t they? Didn’t even bother cleaning up their mess.”
Of course, it was he who had packaged the evidence and sent it over, ensuring the investigation wouldn’t drag on long enough for Feng Xuan to cover his tracks.
But since Feng Xuan had orchestrated everything, it wasn’t slander. At most, Feng Jue had only forced his hand, pushing him to make a reckless move in the business competition.
Lin Ran studied Feng Jue. If he didn’t already know that Feng Jue’s hacking skills were on par with Xiao Yize’s, he might have believed his innocent act. Still, Feng Jue was the victim here, and honestly, his actions had saved them a lot of trouble.
But Lin Ran’s curiosity got the better of him. “Why did Feng Xuan want to kill you? Are you his illegitimate son?”
If that were the case, then it would make more sense for Feng Xiaoxiao and Feng Hao to be the ones targeting Feng Jue.
Feng Jue gave him a smile, though his eyes were a mix of warmth and ice. “Do you really want to know?”
Lin Ran suddenly felt a chill, nervously leaning closer to Gu Yang with an awkward smile. “Haha, brother-in-law, maybe I don’t need to know that much.”
Feng Jue’s mood visibly lifted at the word “brother-in-law.” “No harm in telling you. He’s my biological brother.”
“What the heck?!”
Lin Ran was stunned.
Feng Xuan’s children were older than Feng Jue, right?!
A drunk driver would typically face a sentence of three to seven years, and if he turned himself in, it could be reduced. Feng Xuan had paid the driver seven million yuan—more than he could ever hope to earn in a lifetime—so the driver was willing to take the risk.
But murder was different. Even an attempted murder carried a sentence of at least ten years, and if caught, the money would be confiscated.
As the mastermind, Feng Xuan couldn’t escape responsibility.
If someone else had been handling the case, they might have considered the Feng family’s influence. But with Lin Ran and Chu Ying in charge, both coming from wealthy families and backed by the Xiao and Gu families, Feng Xuan’s arrest was swift.
He was taken into custody right in front of the Feng Corporation’s board of directors. Everyone in the building watched as he was handcuffed and led into a police car.
Shortly after, the news of “#Feng Corporation Chairman Arrested on Suspicion of Attempted Murder#” spread across all major media outlets, sparking widespread discussion online. Rival families within the capital’s elite wasted no time in fanning the flames, making sure the scandal grew.
When the stock market opened, shares of Feng Corporation’s companies plummeted.
Feng Xuan’s arrest caught the Feng family off guard. Feng Hao also realized belatedly that they seemed to have fallen into someone else’s trap from the beginning.
As long as they dared to kill Feng Jue again, they would be courting death.
At this moment, Gu Yang went to the capital’s mental hospital to work part-time.
Feng Jue, on the other hand, was invited to the Xiao family. Xiao Yize and Xiao Cheng sparred with him.
Before that, Gu Jin had asked Feng Jue to fight on the rooftop on a snowy night.
Although the Feng family was at fault for the car accident, Feng Jue was the one who brought Gu Yang into danger, so Gu Jin, Xiao Yize and the rest didn’t feel good seeing Feng Jue.
Feng Jue also felt that he was in the wrong. He didn’t retaliate when he was beaten up. He was just hiding. Hence, he suffered a lot of internal injuries over the past few days.
The special medicines he had bought from Gu Jin’s Yangning Research Institute had all come in handy.
At the capital’s psychiatric hospital.
After Gu Yang opened Shen Ran’s ward, she returned to her personal office to rest.
She opened the thermos and took a sip of hot water. She was gently fiddling with the pot of green bamboo on the table.
She felt that the bamboo and nightmare gave her a different feeling.
It seemed to be thinner than last time. It was not as green. It must have been trimmed.
The position of the laptop was moved from the window to the door. When the laptop was opened, it was blocked.
Every day, the hospital’s cleaners would come in to clean her office. Someone must have touched it while cleaning.
