“Yan Jie! I beg you! Don’t do this, please!” Sun Qiushan’s voice was almost hoarse from crying.
For those who’d met Sun Qiyan’s younger sister, they’d instantly recognize the woman crying on the alleged CCTV recording being played on the screen. Sun Qiushan was being dragged away from a cafe with Sun Qiyan watching her, unperturbed by her sister’s pleas.
The audio wasn’t that loud due to the position the CCTV was installed, but it was clear. Those who knew Sun Qiushan could attest that the crying woman was indeed her.
Some who’d been working in the music industry was surprised to see their colleague in that situation. It was clear that Sun Qiushan was being taken away forcefully with her older sister’s permission. Sun Qiushan had been missing in the scene for months, and no one knew what happened to her and where she was until today.
Was this the reason for her sudden disappearance? The guests turned their attention to Sun Qiyan who’d been staring at the screen with wide eyes as if she’d seen a ghost.
Her face paled, and her knees trembled. She stepped back and held into the nearest chair for support. This was really a nightmare, and she hoped she’d wake from it soon.
How could this be? Who was capable of revealing her dirty secret in public?!
Sun Qiushan’s pleading could be heard inside the main hall, silencing the crowd with her heart-wrenching scream for help. There were other people at the cafe witnessing the event, but none of them stepped forward to help her.
“Turn it off! Turn it off!” Sun Qiyan screamed at the top of her lungs when she realized people were accusing her through the looks they’d thrown at her, with some staring at her in horror.
“Let it continue!” Lu Xinyi shouted back, “I like to see who’ll be brave enough to defy me!” She warned the staff, making them freeze at their places. Madam Shen was really scary!
Just what kind of sister Sun Qiyan was to abandon Qiushan like that?
“What happened to Sun Qiushan? Who’s taken her?”
“Sun Qiushan has been missing for months now. This video is really disturbing…”
“Was it because of Sun Qiyan? Oh, my. How can she do this to her own sister?”
Witnessing the start of Sun Qiushan’s nightmare with her own eyes, Lu Xinyi’s eyes became misty. She suddenly felt so useless at that moment for not being able to save Qiushan in time.
Someone in the crowd was a close friend of Sun Qiushan, and she couldn’t help but grew enraged when she saw what Sun Qiyan did to her.
“Where’s Qiushan?! Where did you take her, you monster?!”
Before Sun Qiyan could defend herself, a masculine voice could be heard from the recording.
“Sun Qiyan, I already did the part of our deal. You better make sure my investments wouldn’t go to waste.”
The identity of this man shocked those who were in the media. Those who’d been in the industry for long would know at once that it was the prince of Redux Entertainment, Xi Yunchuan.
What the heck? Was it really Xi Yunchuan?!
The man, who was Sun Qiyan talking to, had his back on the camera; but his form and stature couldn’t deny his identity. It was really Xi Yunchuan of Redux Entertainment himself. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
This was explosive news! The launch of the Finest Stitch had easily been forgotten. Now, everyone was curious to know what happened to Sun Qiushan next. The event site was now in a mess with some media men waiting patiently for what would happen next.
“Turn it off! Turn it off!” Sun Qiyan continued to scream to the staff, not knowing what else she could do. She was ruined! The recording continued to play until Sun Qiushan was nowhere in sight.
Just as she thought that it was the end, someone from the media exclaimed, gathering everyone’s attention.
“Guys! Look at the trending news! Oh, my god! I can’t believe this! Sun Qiushan is already dead!”
Curious as to what he was talking about, his colleagues took their phones, checked the trending news, and were left astonished at what they’d seen. A postmortem report of Sun Qiushan had been circulating on the internet with several attached photos of the victim filled with bruises in her body and nailless fingers almost black from the torture.
Some couldn’t take what they’d seen and ran outside the main hall to puke. The pictures spoke a thousand words that the dead could not say anymore. The trauma, the pain… her struggle to keep alive was enough to move a person’s heart.
Lu Xinyi’s eyes brimmed with tears as she stared at the recording. Was this what they call regret? There weren’t many things she regretted in her life. Sun Qiushan would probably have the biggest regret she had.
Sun Qiyan fell on her knees and slumped on the floor, feeling so helpless. She was really done this time. As she looked around her, even her so-called friends had distanced themselves from her so they wouldn’t get implicated. Even Chu Ting and Yao Zhelan didn’t dare to extend a hand to help her.
People weren’t dumb. Two pieces of evidence leading to Sun Qiushan’s death meant that Sun Qiyan had offended a big shot that was getting even with her. Not only did the person ruin her reputation but also implicated Xi Yunchuan with it. It was hitting two birds with one stone, and neither Sun Qiyan nor Xi Yunchuan expected this attack from their enemy.
The news easily spread throughout the country, and in ten minutes, a team of police officers entered the main hall and apprehended Sun Qiyan for being an accomplice for murder.
“Miss Sun, you are suspected of human trafficking and accomplice for murder. Please come with us.”
“Murder?!” Someone gasped from the crowd. “What the hell is wrong with Sun Qiyan?!”
“Despicable! How can she do this to her own kin?!”
“If she could do this to her own sister, imagine what else she’s capable of doing if the person isn’t related to her.”
That statement was enough to give everyone a shiver, but the one who revealed this nasty side of Sun Qiyan shouldn’t be underestimated.
As the exciting event ended up with Sun Qiyan being apprehended by the authorities, the media surrounded her, throwing questions as to what was her intention for selling her sister to Xi Yunchuan.
Sun Corp’s security immediately withdrew the other shareholders from the event and away from the media’s attention except for Lu Xinyi. The security personnel were afraid of her two bodyguards and didn’t dare to force her to leave. Instead, they respectfully reminded her to leave for her own safety.
Lu Xinyi thanked the security personnel and told them that she’d be fine. She had three bodyguards to accompany her anyway, and the media would need to pass through them before they could hurt her.
“Miss, are you satisfied?” Zhang Qing asked, keeping her face impassive, as the people around them flocked around Sun Qiyan.
Lu Xinyi crossed her legs, the slit on the side of her red evening gown revealed her shapely, smooth legs.
“Satisfied?” she said with indifference as she watched Sun Qiyan being taken away by the police. “This is just a start. Let’s see how Sun Qiyan and Xi Yunchuan deal with the problem they started.” She paused as if she remembered something. “All of you did well today; expect a bonus on your salary this month.”
