ps: Apologies, there was a small oversight in the first two chapters. Ye Jinmei is Ye Rui's paternal aunt, not maternal aunt. I have contacted the editor to make corrections.
...
As night fell, Jiangnan Provincial People's Hospital became quiet. The number of patients and their families in the hospital was significantly less than during the day, with crowds concentrated only in the emergency building and inpatient departments.
In a special ward of the surgical inpatient department, Yuan Hao still lay in bed.
Due to Yuan Hao's injuries, which were quite severe, the police had conducted their investigations and interrogations in the ward over the past few days.
Now, the police had completed their interrogation of Yuan Hao and obtained sufficient evidence. As soon as Yuan Hao's injuries improved, he would be transferred to the relevant departments.
Creak! Dafeng Novel Network.
Suddenly, the ward door swung open, and Yuan Hao's mother pushed it open and entered.
"Mom~ Damn it, are the police still guarding outside?"
Yuan Hao glimpsed the police officers at the ward entrance through the gap in the door and couldn't help but curse.
"They will guard the door until you recover," Yuan Hao's mother said as she walked to the bedside.
"Where's that bastard who was yelling earlier?"
Yuan Hao's expression turned grim as he recalled the leading police officer, who had been extremely rude to him and his mother.
"He's no longer in charge of your case. He was transferred to a police station in a village, but he refused to go. He even caused trouble with his superiors over this matter, and as a result, he was fired!"
Wang Hao's mother sneered. Although Yuan Zeping and Yuan Hao had suffered a setback this time, they were merely tigers fallen into flat land, not to be bullied by dogs!
"Fired? Heh heh... Let him act all high and mighty with us! This matter isn't over yet. When I get out, I'll deal with him!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hao looked greatly relieved and then asked, "By the way, when can I get out?"
"I asked your grandfather. Your grandfather said it would take at most three years, and at least one year, and he guaranteed you'd be out." Yuan Hao's mother replied.
"Tell Grandpa that I can't wait that long. Once the situation calms down, find a way to get me medical parole." Yuan Hao said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and talk to your grandfather again. But you need to control your temper and not get angry over nothing."
Yuan Hao's mother nodded. In her opinion, her son was already injured. When no one was paying attention to this matter anymore, getting medical parole for her son would be as easy as playing house for a child.
"What about my dad? How long will he have to stay inside?" Yuan Hao asked again.
"Your dad, like you, will definitely be out within three years, but his political career is ruined."
Yuan Hao's mother said this with evident dissatisfaction.
Wives gain status through their husbands.
Over the years, relying on Yuan Zeping, she had enjoyed a prominent status and respect, both within the Yuan family and outside.
Now, with Yuan Zeping imprisoned, although his life was spared and he would be released soon, his political career was over, and she would lose her aura.
"Damn it, I really want to grind Qin Xiaozhi and that bastard from the Su family into ashes!"
Yuan Hao gritted his teeth, his face filled with hatred. He wished he could grab a knife and stab Jiang Wuming and Qin Xiaozhi to death immediately.
"Don't worry, this matter won't be let go just like that. Your dad already has arrangements!"
Yuan Hao's mother also harbored immense hatred and then revealed what she knew.
...
A detention center in Jinling.
Yuan Zeping had dinner in an interrogation room.
The dinner consisted of four dishes and one soup, with fruit. It couldn't compare to his usual lavish banquets, but it was a unique meal within the detention center.
After Yuan Zeping finished his dinner, someone specifically came to clear the dishes. He then returned to his room and took out a mobile phone.
The phone was sent to him by someone arranged by the Yuan family, allowing him to contact the outside world at any time.
It was precisely because of this that he could keep abreast of the interrogations of the Liu family members by the Martial Department and confirm that the Liu family had not made any mistakes and had all stuck to their pre-arranged statements when reporting to the Martial Department. Everything was proceeding according to their plan.
This afternoon, he learned that the Jiangnan Branch of the Martial Department had released Liu Xin, Liu Qingguang, and other core members of the Liu family.
"Buzz..."
While Yuan Zeping was waiting, the phone in his hand vibrated. He picked it up and saw it was a video call from Liu Qingguang. He immediately answered.
"Mr. Yuan."
As the video connected, Liu Qingguang's figure appeared on the phone screen. He was at the Liu family's ancestral home, with no one else around him.
"Master Liu, have you checked your phone?"
Yuan Zeping was somewhat uneasy, like someone who had been bitten by a snake and feared the well for ten years.
"Rest assured, Mr. Yuan, I've checked the phone. There are no issues, and it won't be monitored."
Liu Qingguang replied, as he was also aware that Yuan Zeping and his son's phones had been monitored.
"Master Liu, I will be transferred to other departments tomorrow and won't be able to use my phone then, so I asked someone to notify you to call me back today."
Yuan Zeping explained the reason for asking Liu Qingguang to call him and, before Liu Qingguang could reply, stated his purpose: "I want to discuss revenge with you."
"Mr. Yuan, this matter is not yet settled, and many people, including those from the Martial Department, are watching. Retaliation at this time is not appropriate, is it? If the Su family suffers any misfortune, anyone can deduce that it was us!" Liu Qingguang frowned.
"Master Liu, I didn't say we should retaliate immediately. Of course, we should wait until this matter has subsided and no one is paying attention, then retaliate!" Yuan Zeping said.
Liu Qingguang seemed confused: "Mr. Yuan, then what is your intention?"
"I want to tell you that this time, our two families have been so badly screwed over. If we only kill that brat named Wuming, it won't be enough to vent our anger!
Since we are going to retaliate, and you are losing your loyalists, we might as well go all the way and destroy the entire Su family!"
Yuan Zeping spoke with a ferocious expression, his words filled with chilling killing intent.
"My father feels the same way. He wants the entire Su family to be buried with my brother! At the same time, my father also said that Mr. Yuan should not forget what he promised the Liu family."
Liu Qingguang nodded and relayed Liu Xin's message.
The Liu family taking action against the Su family was both revenge for Liu Qingfeng and an exchange with the Yuan family!
"Through this incident, you should have realized the power of the Yuan family and sensed the relationship between the Yuan family and the Gu family. Since I promised you, I will definitely deliver!
You decide the timing of your action yourselves. I hope that by the time I get out, this matter will have been completed."
Yuan Zeping said with a cold smile, as if he could already see the scene of the Su family flowing with blood and not a single soul spared.
"Okay!"
Liu Qingguang responded, ended the call, put away his phone, and went straight to Liu Xin's room.
"Dad, I just spoke with Yuan Zeping. He promised to fulfill what he agreed to for us."
Liu Qingguang reported to Liu Xin proactively and then asked with some concern, "By the way, Dad, if we only kill that brat named Wuming, it's not difficult. But to annihilate the entire Su family without the Martial Department discovering it, the difficulty is considerable."
"I have my own arrangements, so don't worry."
Killing intent flashed in Liu Xin's eyes. He had decided that when the time was right, he would have the Yuan family's most powerful loyalists exterminate the entire Su family, and then kill them while they were escaping, eliminating all evidence.
"Grand... Grandpa, Uncle Er, it's not good, something has happened!!"
As soon as Liu Xin finished speaking, a terrified voice echoed from outside the house.
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Liu Xin and Liu Qingguang exchanged a surprised look, their faces filled with curiosity. The Martial Department had already released them, so what could have gone wrong?
As the Yuan and Liu families conspired to retaliate against the Su family, the young man revealed his final trump card!
