Chapter 208: Storm at Night?
The night was as dark as ink. The Liu Family Manor on Taiping Mountain looked particularly solemn and mysterious under the faint moonlight. The gate of the manor was closed tightly. Two stone lions majestically guarded the land, as if no disturbance could escape their eyes. Inside the manor, the lights were on, and a sudden storm was brewing.
Liu Yi and He Yuzhu walked through the courtyard of the manor, and their footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet night. Their faces were a little tired, but more of a complex emotion about what was about to happen. In the banquet hall of the manor, everyone had gathered together, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
As soon as Liu Yi entered the house, his eyes fell on Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi and Yu Li. The three of them were pregnant and looked so gloomy that water seemed to drip out. Liu Ying stood aside, looking embarrassed. She whispered to Liu Yi: "I didn't manage the family well. Except for me, Yu Shui and Lou Xiao'e, the rest of them have their own partners. They all started doing this in the past six months because Yu Li took the lead."
Liu Yi frowned upon hearing this. He looked at He Yuzhu, who was already burning with anger. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi and Yu Li, kicking them in the stomach. The kick was so powerful that the three of them cried out in pain, and blood instantly soaked their pants.
There was an uproar in the banquet hall. Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu knelt on the ground and trembled in fear. They had never seen such a terrible scene, and they dared not imagine what would happen next. Seeing this, Liu Yi quickly grabbed He Yuzhu and signaled him not to do anything. He knew that he had to stay calm at this time to properly handle this crisis.
The driver rushed over upon hearing the noise, and immediately stepped forward to help the injured Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi and Yu Li. Under Liu Yi's instructions, he quickly sent the three to the hospital to treat their wounds. The manor was calm again, but everyone was in great turmoil.
Liu Yi stood in the middle of the banquet hall and looked around. He saw the guilt and helplessness in Liu Ying's eyes, the fear and anxiety in Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu, and the doubts and speculations in the hearts of others. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more firm: "We must give an explanation for what happened today. But before that, I hope everyone can stay calm and not let emotions influence our judgment."
His words were like a tranquilizer, calming the originally panicked crowd. Liu Yi continued, "I will personally investigate the truth of this matter. No matter who is involved, I will treat them equally and will not tolerate them. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can learn from this, cherish the people around them, and not do things that will make you regret."
As the night deepened, the lights in the manor gradually went out. Although this sudden storm had subsided temporarily, it left an indelible mark in everyone's heart. Liu Yi knew that this crisis was far from over, and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible to restore peace to the manor.
When Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi and Yu Li came back from the hospital with pale faces, Liu Yi didn't even look at them and was drinking with the He Yuzhu brothers.
He Yuzhu couldn't bear to see Yu Xin, so he patted Liu Yi on the shoulder. Liu Yi sighed and said that Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi, Yu Li, Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen should leave Liu's manor and enterprise, but the children could not be taken away, otherwise don't blame him for being cruel.
Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi and Yu Li stood face to face, staring at each other, with sparks flying where their eyes met. Their eyes were burning with rage, but also filled with deep helplessness and sadness.
Finally, the hot-tempered Chen Xueru couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. She took a step forward, put her hands on her hips, stared at Liu Yi in front of her with wide eyes, and shouted in a tone as cold as ice chips: "Why don't you let us take the children away? They are our own flesh and blood. How can you be so cruel!"
Facing Chen Xueru's questioning, Liu Yi remained motionless like an iceberg, not even raising his eyebrows. His deep eyes flashed with a chilling cold light, and he responded indifferently: "I have said many times that you can leave if you want, but the child must stay with me. This is my bottom line, no room for negotiation."
Hearing this, Yan Jiedi, who had been holding back her tears, could no longer control her emotions, and her tears burst out like a flood. She cried heartbreakingly, her body trembling with sobs, and she murmured to herself: "We really can't live without children... They are our only hope for survival and our future... Please let us go..."
Yu Li, who was standing by, also had red eyes. She pointed at Liu Yi angrily and shouted, "You are so cruel and inhumane! We will never give up. We will try our best to get the children back!"
However, in response to their accusations and threats, Liu Yi only raised his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "Humph, then go ahead and give it a try, but I warn you in advance, don't expect to succeed easily." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the room without looking back, leaving Chen Xueru, Yan Jiedi and Yu Li standing there blankly, looking at his leaving back, feeling sad and depressed. ...
Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu were pale, their eyes revealing despair and regret. With trembling hands, they picked up the kitchen knife and slashed at their hamstrings. Blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground red, forming a shocking pool of blood.
They groaned in pain, their bodies shaking, but they still insisted on expressing their confessions: "We know we were wrong, and we will never dare to leave Liu's house again..." Their voices were weak and trembling, filled with endless regret.
Liu heard the noise and rushed into the kitchen. He was shocked by the scene. He quickly found some cloth and tried to bandage their wounds, while shouting other people's names for help.
With the help of everyone, Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu were rushed to the hospital. After the doctors' full rescue, their lives were saved, but the injuries to their hamstrings were very serious and they might be left with lifelong disabilities.
This tragedy made everyone fall into deep thought, and also made Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu deeply realize their mistakes. They understood that the momentary impulse and wrong choice not only brought great pain to themselves, but also hurt the people around them. From now on, they will re-examine their lives with pain and lessons.
