After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 176: Public Apology, Arrest (1)

Translator: _Min_

The Chen family, a colossal clan, had met their downfall, a feat only conceivable by the Yu family in the Great Xia Empire.

Naturally, the three aristocratic families and the four major alliances remained far beyond the reach of ordinary aristocracy, so much so that Mrs. Pei had not even considered this possibility.

In almost a day and a night, the Chen family vanished from Lin.

Their companies, riddled with issues, were thoroughly investigated and sealed.

However, in these times, no family business dared to claim absolute purity, often dabbling in the grey areas to some extent.

Who else but the mighty Yu family, a vast commercial empire, could the Chen family have offended?

Mrs. Pei had heard some rumors within her circles.

It was said that the Chen family. in alliance with a certain Mr. Liu. attempted a daring move against the Yu family’s precious daughter.

An act of sheer madness!

Even in her wildest dreams, she would not dare to provoke the Yu family.

“Good that you understand, Mrs. Pei,” Ling Feng smiled with a meaningful look. “Miss Si is aware of your intentions. Unfortunately, she’s occupied with mentoring students and simply cannot attend to your family’s affairs.” “And since you don’t believe, why bother coming here again, right?”

Mrs. Pei’s face turned increasingly pale, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

Her throat was dry with fear, she pleaded. “I believe her! I truly do! Lawyer

Ling, could you please tell Miss Si that I believe her?”

Regret was an understatement for what Mrs. Pei felt now.

If only she had taken Pei Mengzhi’s talisman seriously, seeking Miss Si’s help earlier, would things have turned out this way?

How could she have been so foolish!

Ling Feng didn’t respond, instead, she turned to Pei Mengzhi with a smile. “Of course, Miss Si keeps her word. She will assist you to the end, so please have your treasury ready. She will visit the Pei residence tonight.”

“As it should be!” Pei Mengzhi replied, though his relief was not evident, “Is there really no hope for my family?”

Bankruptcy seemed a minor concern to him, a mere dip in lifestyle quality.

What mattered most was life itself.

He desperately wanted to know who had targeted their family, seeking their ruin and demise.

“That depends on whether the Pei family can offer something that truly interests Miss Si,” Ling Feng stepped back, her smile fading. “Don’t think money can solve everything. What you lack, Miss Si certainly does not.”

With those words, she stopped engaging with the mother and son, returning to her car.

“Sister Ling, you’re quite intimidating,” remarked the young lawyer in the driver’s seat, exhilarated. “Look at how you scared them.”

Ling Feng, a graduate of the law department at Great Xia University, had been scouted by the Xingting Law Firm in her junior year. Known for her remarkable skills, she had yet to lose a case in court.

Her approach was always firm yet gentle, often rendering opposing lawyers speechless in a few sentences.

This time, leading the newly formed PR team was none other than Ling Feng herself.

The young lawyer held immense respect for her.

“It’s not me who scared them, but Miss Si,” mused Ling Feng, “Perhaps there are many things in this world that science can’t explain.”

The young lawyer muttered under his breath and started the car.

He had seen Miss Sit s striking beauty, but beyond her looks, he didn’t see anything particularly extraordinary.

Having Ling Feng dispatched for this seemed an overuse of resources.

Shaking his head, he focused on driving.

On the roadside.

Holding the lawyer’s letter, Mrs. Pei stood dumbfounded. ‘Mengzhi, what do we do now?”

“What to do, you’re ask me?” Pei Mengzhi, trying to maintain calm, massaged his temples, “Would any of this have happened if you’d believed me sooner?” Mrs. Pei was speechless.

She hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating so severely, only angry at Pei Mengzhi for defying her authority and being disloyal.

“Let’s go home first,” she said, gripping his arm tightly. “Better not to go out, in case something falls from above.”

Pei Mengzhi scoffed, “Or perhaps there’ll be an earthquake at home.”

Frustrated and pained. Mrs. Pei snapped. “Shut your mouth!”

Without another word, they headed home.

At eight in the evening, darkness had fully enveloped the sky.

Mrs. Pei stood anxiously at the doorstep, waiting a long time, until she spotted a bicycle.

She was taken aback.

Si Fuqing dismounted, casually slinging her bag over her shoulder, and approached at a relaxed pace.

Her attire was always casual and loose-fitting..
