Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 690 - 530: If Someone Really Wants to Court Death, There’s No Stopping Them (Fourth Update)
The Su Xiaomeng I had in mind was nothing more than a teenage girl who liked to act cute, lively, and enthusiastic but indeed couldn’t handle big responsibilities...
The Yin Family, including the elderly of the family, all noticed Xiao Meng’s growth in recent years.
Xiao Meng was with Yin Shixiu when she was nineteen. At that age, from a societal standpoint, there is enormous potential for growth.
And Su Xiaomeng indeed capitalized on this age advantage.
But what they saw as growth was mostly based on Xiao Meng’s academic achievements and mental maturity.
Standing beside Yin Shixiu, she still had a considerable gap.
No matter how quickly Su Xiaomeng grew over the past two years, it was an undeniable fact that she was overly reliant on Yin Shixiu.
So no one doubted that when Yin Shixiu completely left her life, and she lost this support, her breakdown would be profound.
It was believed she would wail for days and nights, like parents losing their beloved son, falling into despair, utterly without support.
Now, she didn’t; her tears were fewer than anyone else’s.
Of course, maybe this was just on the surface; perhaps, in private, she shed more tears than anyone else...
But even if this was just a facade, she disguised herself as sufficiently strong.
And surprisingly, no one in the entire Yin Family managed to do better than her.
Yin Shilan only now realized that they indeed underestimated Su Xiaomeng, eventually looking down on Yin Shixiu’s judgment.
With Yin Shixiu’s death, the problems that Yin Shiqing’s family had previously encountered were instantly resolved.
The military tribunal did not have enough evidence to prove that Su Hang did anything unruly in the terrorist attack case.
And Su Hang was calmer than they imagined; under Wu Ye’s indirect questioning, he maintained his composure and didn’t reveal any flaws during the investigation.
Thus, the investigation continued, but there was no progress.
Earlier, due to the Huang Tingting incident, Yin Shiqing was suspended and investigated. Yin Shiqing managed to smooth things over through various channels...
With the news of Yin Shixiu’s death, naturally, no one was going to keep an eye on him relentlessly.
The so-called collusion among officials probably applies even to such trivial matters.
Yin Shiqing was reinstated to his position, and Yin Shilan was aware of, including the outside world’s speculation about Yin Shixiu’s death and rumors about Yin Shixiu’s drug trafficking, she had seen them all.
But just as Xiao Meng said now.
Nothing is more important than keeping vigil for the deceased relatives and sending them off.
The deceased is the most significant.
Does Yin Shiqing truly not understand even this?
The Yin Family’s elders lost a son, and the Shi Family lost a son as well.
Shi Haiyan’s mood was equally down to the bottom. If it weren’t for Yin Shixiu being dead, slightly suppressing her inner resentment and sadness, Shi Haiyan would not even want to return to the Yin Family with Yin Shiqing.
The purpose of their visit, as Su Xiaomeng had said, was merely about the inheritance of the Family Head position.
Perhaps the elders of the Yin Family could hold their backs straight with dignity and leave the Family Head position to Yin Shilan.
But what about the other elders of the Yin Family?
What about the impact due to the various public opinions caused by Yin Shixiu upon the Yin Family?
Reputation, prestige, the numerous legacies passed down from a hundred years of the Yin Family’s tradition...
Can Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin really let go easily?
Currently, the only person who can maintain the Yin Family’s reputation is him, Yin Shiqing, and there’s no second person, meaning that Yin Shiqing has already determined that the elders have no other choice!
But Shi Haiyan never expected that this widow who just lost her husband would suddenly take a stand!
She stepped forward,
"If you have the ability, just try to move us, Su Xiaomeng, you think too highly of yourself! With Yin Shixiu dead, who do you think can protect you?"
Shi Haiyan let out a cold snort!
"These words should be saved for yourself. If I kick Yin Shiqing out, who can protect you?"
Su Xiaomeng said calmly and then shouted sternly,
"Call all the bodyguards in the mansion here!"
Zheng Garden already had guards stationed, especially these days when media reporters kept trying to infiltrate the Yin Mansion.
The security alert was much higher than before.
With Su Xiaomeng’s call, seven or eight bodyguards were already standing by.
"You stand in a row. Today, if this couple takes another step forward, just toss them over the wall!"
The bodyguards exchanged glances; after all, they knew who Yin Shiqing was.
Seeing the bodyguards somewhat hesitated, Yin Shiqing couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his lips and smiled,
"Su Xiaomeng, I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. Do you think these people have the courage to move me?"
Yin Shiqing said as he put his hands behind his back, his leg already lifted, stepping forward—
"Bang!"
Instantly, everyone’s heart tightened.
The bullet shot right in front of Yin Shiqing’s foot, the shell almost brushed against Yin Shiqing’s calf!
Yin Shiqing’s eyes widened, directly facing Shan Mingxu putting away his gun. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
With an arrogant expression and a disdainful attitude, he glanced at Yin Shiqing,
"Sorry, uncle, your nephew has been in a bad mood lately, and this gun tends to fire accidentally, please don’t take it to heart. If this is reported to the military, I might lose my qualification to carry a gun."
Originally, soldiers cannot carry guns once they leave the military.
But Shan Mingxu, due to this special mission being incomplete, continued to be armed, wearing a military uniform under his plain clothes.
Shan Mingxu’s gunshot left both Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan stunned.
For a moment, neither of them dared to challenge him further.
Shan Mingxu glanced at the bodyguards beside him,
"Strange, since when did the Yin Family’s bodyguards become unable to distinguish between family members and outsiders?"
The bodyguards were taken aback, and their expressionless square faces became even stiffer.
"Do you know who just spoke to you? Huh?!"
Shan Mingxu roared, with a tone akin to training soldiers in the military, eyes glaring,
"Fourth Young Madam! The Fourth Young Madam said not to allow these two outsiders to take a step in the house, then they are not allowed! Shivering? Are you really earning your keep as bodyguards? Become timid at the crucial moment? What the heck are you still doing as bodyguards?!"
"Mr. Shan... but the eldest young master is also your family..."
One of the bodyguards felt deeply wronged, trembling as he tried to explain, but unexpectedly—
"Are you blind?! What kind of family member would come to add insult to injury on the day of a relative’s funeral?! Don’t you have any judgment?!"
Shan Mingxu’s voice rose, full of energy!
The bodyguards were so shaken that they instinctively stood bolt upright!
"Do you remember what the Young Madam just said?!"
"No outsiders allowed! No one is to disturb the Young Madam’s sending off of the Fourth Young Master!"
The lead bodyguard shouted loudly!
Shan Mingxu’s fierce expression moved away from the bodyguards, his gaze brushed over Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan but didn’t stop at all, only softly speaking to Su Xiaomeng,
"Aunt, rest assured, if someone really wants to die, we couldn’t stop them anyway."
"Mm, let’s go."
Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan stood motionless, just like two petrified statues.
The coffin was loaded onto the hearse, Su Xiaomeng and others got into the car, and before the door closed, Su Xiaomeng’s gaze lingered on Yin Shiqing...
Her gaze was light yet made Shi Haiyan grit her teeth!
The car door closed, and the hearse drove away.
Yin Shiqing’s fist clenched tightly, and Shi Haiyan glanced at the seven or eight bodyguards in front...
She felt that if she and Yin Shiqing really wanted to go inside, these bodyguards wouldn’t really stop them.
That Shan Mingxu brat was too disrespectful to them...
Shi Haiyan was in a fury now.
She didn’t believe in this evil, and just as she was about to step out, her hand was pulled back by Yin Shiqing again.
Shi Haiyan frowned at her husband,
"You... are really scared?"
Yin Shiqing took a deep breath,
"Another day. Besides, they won’t get away."
Yin Shiqing was not saying he was cowardly, just that... some things he could control, while some things...
Were slowly deviating from his expectations.
How exactly did it deviate?
Yin Shiqing felt that they needed to go back and think it over.
Turning around, they got into the car and left the Yin Family.
