Chapter 1542: Chapter 1541: Gone!_1

The matter concerned rebellion, a crime punishable by decapitation. Bei Yun spoke methodically, relentlessly smearing dirt on himself, and Yu Zizhou couldn’t hold back any longer. He swung his fist and charged, “You suddenly showed up back then, claiming you could help me, I didn’t even know who the hell you were!”

Even obscenities were blurted out, and his face turned almost as red as a cooked shrimp from anger. Bei Lingsu frowned, she raised her hand, and with a mere flick, she casually dissipated the palm wind.

“Don’t get agitated, sit down first, and once we retrieve your family’s Jiufeng Feitian, you’ll be able to prove your innocence,” she said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zizhou, recalling the fear of being choked by Bei Lingsu, glowered fiercely at Bei Yun without a word.

Seeing this, Bei Yun smiled slightly and continued to savor the delicacies on the table.

Ever since he arrived in Capital City, he had spent almost all his time obediently treating patients. Now, to be able to relax and enjoy a meal at Jimei Residence, it felt truly wonderful!

Yu Zizhou remained silent, and Bei Yun was focused on appreciating the food, the other four people in the private room had much more complicated feelings.

Rebellion, and even tangled with the Tianlong Gang of the Duan family–that would make this a really big issue.

Considering Shen Bai’s fate… Of course, due to Yu Ang’s connections, Yu Zizhou might have a reduced sentence, but it wouldn’t be much better.

Liuli’s influence would only hold sway with Tong Tiehu and Yu Ang, and not for Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Xingda. Yu Zizhou wasn’t favored by Yang Wenxiao, so Yang Wenxiao’s feelings for Liuli wouldn’t extend to him.

What to do?

If this case was really confirmed, then…

Frowning in thought, Qiao Xiaomai spoke up, “Prime Minister, the thing is, the reason this matter came up today is because a particularly vicious rumor has recently surfaced in the Capital City…”

She briefly recounted to Yu Ang the day’s events and concluded, “Honestly, Xingda and I have so many enemies, we truly have no clue who started this rumor, so we mentioned last year’s incident. We suspect that the same person is behind both events.”

Yu Ang, “…Is that so?”

However, Yu Zizhou sneered, “That does sound somewhat reasonable.”

“Are you the one who spread the rumor?” asked Qiao Xiaomai.

Previously, Yu Zizhou had cunningly plotted against Tong Xingda, seeking to trap him and take his silver. That move was played quite insidiously.

Judging by this operational style, it indeed seemed like something Yu Zizhou would do.

After hearing this, Yu Zizhou’s sneer widened, “I’ve been convalescing at home these past few days, how could I have time to meddle in these affairs?”

“However, it serves you right for today’s predicament. You originally rose to power thanks to Jimei Residence, and now you’ve gone so far as to swallow it whole. Such ingratitude and lack of loyalty, it’s only natural that someone would step forward to deal with you.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

“The higher you climb, the harder you fall. In just two or three years, you went from a village girl to this position. You’ve angered the masses,” Yu Zizhou added, his voice laden with undisguised schadenfreude.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Just then, hurried footsteps approached from outside the private room, and following that, the door was pushed open. The attendant who had just returned to Yu Residence appeared at the door, his face full of panic, and he exclaimed, “Prime Minister, something terrible has happened, the Jiufeng Feitian is missing!”

“What?!”

Yu Ang, who had just sat down, stood up abruptly upon hearing this news.
