Chapter 1880 - When It Rains, It Pours

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Commission for Discipline Inspection… H-How did they get their hands on the evidence?! Where did the evidence even come from?!” At the end of his sentence, Yun Yuanfeng was literally howling, and a muffled sob was heard in his voice.

As soon as Yao Ying heard the words ‘discipline inspection,’ she stopped and stared at Yun Yuanfeng, who was shaking and stomping in anger. Then she heard him say ‘evidence.’ What else could it be to make people like them come all the way to their doorstep with evidence?! If that were the case, then this would be bad!

Things would definitely get worse now that Lin Shuhua was dead. The gate of the compound was barricaded by people who came demanding justice, and Yun Yuanfeng had the scarlet letter of accidental manslaughter marked on his forehead. On top of that, there was ‘evidence’ heading their way! He would likely have to bid farewell to his future and perhaps even rot in jail…

Whatever the other person on the end of the receiver had said, it had made Yun Yuanfeng’s hands tremble so badly he could barely hold onto his phone, and his body slumped right down on the couch. His eyes were soulless, and he kept repeating the same two words. “It’s over… it’s over…”

This time, it was really over!

He had naively believed that he had done an excellent job of keeping his secrets hidden for the past couple of years. However, that clearly did not mean that people could not dig out his dirt. Under keen eyes, the paper trail he left could still be traced back to him. In particular, he had recently helped some of Lin Shuhua’s relatives go through the back door. That was hardly a big deal, but if they put together all the bad deeds he had ever done, he would have nowhere to run once the evidence was verified! Especially now that Lin Shuhua’s family had barricaded the gates, he could not flee even if he wanted to!

What now? What should he do?!

“Dad? Dad! What’s the matter with you?!”

Yun Chuhan was not aware of his bad deeds, nor did she have any idea what this all meant. But seeing Yun Yuanfeng in such despair, she started to panic.

Yao Ying glanced at Yun Chuhan, and she felt bad for her. The most pitiful one in this house was probably this poor girl. Her mother was still in prison, and now her father would get thrown in as well.

“If they have the evidence your father mentioned, it can only be evidence of corruption…”

“No, that’s impossible! My dad would never do such a thing! He would never…”

Yun Chuhan struggled to finish her sentence. Looking at Yun Yuanfeng’s expression of despair as if the sky had come crumbling down, she found it hard to convince herself that Yun Yuanfeng had never done such a thing.

No matter how dense she was, she had seen on television the consequences his actions would bring, and she had a gist of what was coming! If he was lucky, he would just get sent to jail…

Liang Xiuqin was already locked up in prison, and now her dad was going to get locked away too? If they both left her, what was she to do?!

As they say, when it rains, it pours. There was still a crowd outside, waiting to make Yun Yuanfeng pay for the life he had taken. Yun Chuhan felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness right then as if her world was about to collapse.

“Second Aunt, seriously, do you have any way to contact my sister? Please just tell her to come back quickly! If she doesn’t help us, our family will be finished!”

This time, she was really shaken to the core!

“As I said earlier, I don’t. All I have is that same number. Would I lie to you at a time like this? Why don’t you just try calling her again on your phone?”

Seeing how dire the situation had become, Yao Ying quickly went upstairs to inform the old man. If the evidence against him was validated, the entire Yun family would probably have to move out of the military region residences.

Refusing to give up, Yun Chuhan took out her phone and punched in Yun Xi’s number. And just like before, her phone was still off.

“Dad! What now?! What should we do if we can’t get in touch with Yun Xi…”

Yun Yuanfeng’s face was pale with despair as he recalled Yun Xi’s words before she left last night. “I’ll wait for you to come begging on your knees!”

Even if he wanted to beg for her help now, he did not know where to reach her! That cursed girl was so cruel! If something truly happened to him, wouldn’t her reputation end up tarnished just as well? How could she be worthy of being with the Young Commander without her father being the director? She was such a fool!
