Capítulo 1041: Chapter 1041: Everything’s in Chaos
That day, the military court sent people over.
The ones they wanted to investigate were not Yan Yuexian, but Yan Fei and Yan Lingyi.
The two main pillars of the Yan Family were taken in for questioning, stunning everyone.
Because in everyone’s eyes, the one who committed the crime was clearly Yan Yuexian, so why were Yan Fei and Yan Lingyi the ones being taken away?
This sudden change set many into motion as the Yan Family’s faction hastily convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to rescue their people.
Everyone knew that the mainstays of this faction were the Yan Family.
But now that both of the Yan Family’s leaders were taken away for questioning, there was no one to make decisions.
What could Yan Yuexian and Yan Weiyang, two women, possibly do?
If the Yan Family fell, then their faction would be finished as well.
The political forces were already tangled with multiple interests intertwining, sharing success and loss alike.
This was equivalent to a chain of interests, with the Yan Family standing at the top. If the leaders fell, what remained would collapse like an avalanche, falling apart without a fight!
Meanwhile, the Yan Family’s political adversaries were thrilled, having laid their plans for so long, waiting for this very moment!
Almost the entire chain moved at once, each eager to devour the power of the Yan Family’s faction, breaking it apart piece by piece!
When Yan Yuexian received the news, she was bewildered. How could this happen?
Clearly, it was she who forced someone to death back then, why were her brother and aunt the ones arrested?
And both at once!
Yan Family’s members were decimated in the disaster of years past, now only four remained, and now the two who could speak for them were gone, leaving just her and Yan Weiyang, what were they to do?
“Cousin, what should we do? Quickly think of something to save brother and aunt.”
Yan Weiyang was very anxious, her hands and feet somewhat cold, “But I also don’t know how to save them.”
After all, she was just a star. Other than acting and knowing a few investors, she really didn’t have any abilities.
Yan Weiyang was at a loss, if the Yan Family collapsed, she would have no backing, what would she do in the future?
The entertainment industry was a place where people could be devoured in the blink of an eye, without the Yan Family’s support, how could she, a girl, make her way?
And what did it mean to be arrested by a military court, weren’t those who faced a military court charged with serious crimes, and would family members be implicated?
In ancient times, there was the concept of collective punishment; what about now, could it still exist?
She knew nothing of the law; she was an orphan before, with no education. After being found by the Yan Family, the most she learned was how to package herself, recognize a few international brands, to appear as a young lady of high society.
Academic subjects were completely neglected. The Yan Family had everything; why would she need to study?
Not to mention the law; with an imperial cousin, who worried about the law?
Therefore, she was utterly ignorant when it came to legal matters.
“Right, doesn’t your boyfriend have a strong background? Call him, let him find a way to save my mom and cousin.” Yan Weiyang suddenly grabbed Yan Yuexian’s hand, somewhat agitated.
Yan Yuexian was a bit repulsed by this behavior; her relationship with Gong Sirui was between the two of them, how could Yan Weiyang so righteously demand Gong Sirui’s help?
Moreover, the situation between her and Gong Sirui was not clear; the Gong Family, due to this incident, wouldn’t even allow her through their doors, if she sought them out now, how would the Gong Family see her?
How difficult it would be for Gong Sirui, caught in the middle.
How could she bring herself to ask!
Yan Yuexian felt quite annoyed; she sensed that Yan Weiyang only thought about herself and never considered things from her perspective.
