Chapter 603: Side Story: Cleanup!

Shen Yan smiled briefly, then suddenly…

The person who had just been smiling had eyes that turned sharp in an instant, and she took several steps forward, violently pushing the man standing in the center to the ground.

“Bang!”

The sound deeply resonated in everyone’s ears.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shen Yan squatted down, her hand tightly throttling this uncle in his fifties, a fierce cold glint in her eyes, “Don’t underestimate the extent to which a mother will protect her child. You’ll never know the crazy things a mother might do for her child. With the way you’re acting, I could very well make you leave here horizontally.”

Even if he was supposedly an elder.

Shen Yan’s gaze was too cold.

As she made her move, everyone was shocked into a daze.

Ever since Shen Yan married Qi Si, although they had witnessed her capabilities, they had never seen her so ruthless.

Everyone was too surprised to react when she made her move.

By the time they came to their senses, the uncle’s face was bloodied and bruised, obscuring his features.

His contemporaries realized what was happening and rushed forward to stop her.

But Shen Yan kicked one person away, sending anyone who tried to stop her flying back.

The incoming people were left staggering from the impact.

Such strength!

“I’ve said not to play dirty tricks behind the scenes, I won’t be polite. Some people just don’t listen, relying on their status as elders to commit such stupid acts of self-harm. Third Elder, you already have one foot in the grave, so stop meddling in the younger generation’s business. You’d best avoid getting hurt by accident, lest you blame the younger ones for your injuries.”

This was a threat!

Third Elder Qi almost passed out from anger.

“You…”

Just as he was about to curse Shen Yan, the next second, her dark eyes narrowed coldly, and in a chilly voice, she said, “When I say I won’t be polite, it’s not just lip service.”

Confronted with Shen Yan’s piercing gaze, everyone swallowed hard, instinctively taking several steps backwards.

“You… this…” Third Elder Qi’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Panic ensued as a crowd rushed about.

After all, he was elderly and couldn’t handle the stress.

Shen Yan watched coldly as the crowd clumsily carried Third Elder Qi out, some searching for a doctor, others trying to calm the situation.

The person who was either dead or unconscious on the floor was also carried out, leaving only a few people behind, watching Shen Yan warily.

Song Jinwei stood at the threshold, looking uncertainly at Shen Yan standing inside, with a complex look in her eyes.

Song Jinwei had already retired, and because Father Qi had been seriously injured, even with the best care, as he aged, more health issues surfaced.

So, in this matter, he couldn’t be of much help.

Shen Yan lifted her gaze to the door.

Her eyes met Song Jinwei’s.

Song Jinwei couldn’t help but sigh, “Grandpa Qi probably never imagined the family would end up like this. You did the right thing, Shen Yan.”

Shen Yan walked out, “Grandpa Qi thought about more than we realize, but he believed that Qi Si would handle the Qi Family’s troubles well, and I will help him settle the domestic affairs.”

Song Jinwei looked at her for a long moment before turning silently to leave.

She had never really liked Shen Yan and had even opposed Qi Si marrying her.

She had spent quite a bit of time with Shen Yan but did not know this side of her.

Seeing the bloody scene just now, she thought she must have been hallucinating.

Nobody could have anticipated Shen Yan acting like that.

She just blatantly beat someone to serious injury…

“Violence! It’s too violent!”

“How did Qi Si’s wife become like this!”

“Do we even need to ask? Hasn’t she been learning from him for more than a decade to achieve this result? He was always decisive and ruthless in his actions, heartless and unprincipled, but we all had forgotten how ruthless he really is.”

After they had walked a distance away, these people dared to discuss Shen Yan and Qi Si with such fury.

“Not surprisingly, as a married couple, they’re becoming more alike. The Qi Family will eventually be ruined by their hands.”

“They just resort to violence but never solve anything.”

“How dare Shen Yan say we’ve made no contributions? We’ve been with the Qi Family since our birth, and she, an outsider who married into the family, has no right to meddle with our clan’s property.”

“She’s already acting like an elder, setting such an example—aren’t they afraid the younger ones will follow suit?”

“If this continues, the Qi Family will be played to death by this couple.”

“We absolutely cannot let her make any more trouble…”

The voices abruptly stopped.

The crowd that had been indignant moments before turned pale as they saw the tall figure standing before them!

When had Qi Si been standing there?

How much had he heard?

What had I just said?

The first reaction for everyone was to recall what they had said, then to sneak a peek at Qi Si’s reaction.

Even in his middle years, Qi Si’s cold face hadn’t changed much; if there was any change, it was that the aura around him had become deeper and more mysterious, emitting a chilling presence.

Just standing there, he exerted such an oppressive force of authority that they hardly dared to breathe.

Their gazes flitted about nervously.

Qi Si coldly watched this group of clan members, and then without a word turned and chose another nearby path to leave.

Seeing this, the crowd didn’t relax; instead, they felt even more uneasy inside.

What did that mean?

Was he not pursuing the matter?

They looked at each other with uncertainty, growing more uneasy by the moment.

Just when everyone started to relax, the Qi Family members suddenly suffered attacks out of the blue, some even ending up injured and hospitalized.

Without exception, these were the same people who had been cursing Shen Yan.

Only as they lay in agony in the hospital did they belatedly remember the expression Qi Si had given them.

It was clearly the icy look one would give to corpses!

Knowing it was Qi Si’s doing, they were stunned to find no evidence.

With a large group from the Qi Family in trouble, it became a hot topic in the Beijing circle.

Due to Actress Shen Yan’s high profile, the media’s attention to the Qi Family was heightened, and as soon as information leaked from within the clan, the media rushed to report it widely.

Of course, these reports were only released after Qi Si had given the nod.

Once Qi Si made his move, Shen Yan became even more unrestrained.

If it were not for this concern, they would have struck much harder at those in the Qi Family who had designs on their children, and not simply made an example out of one to warn the others.

Overnight, the wind regarding the Qi Family changed direction.

And the wind blew fiercely.

Qi Si acted with swift decisiveness, consolidating the family’s assets in his hands, and those in the Qi Family suffered under his suppression. Any negative remarks surfaced, Qi Si immediately used them to weed out the troublemakers in the clan.

Shen Yanqing cleaned up the internal aspect of the clan, while Qi Si swept the company clean with equally ruthless methods.

The Qi Family members had loud voices, but none could contend with the brutal and decisive Qi Si.

This time, Qi Si did a thorough cleansing of the Qi Family, making such big moves that even foreign media took notice.

But reports about him were scarce.

Those that did get out were carefully screened.

And it was at this time that the Qi Family truly saw the extent of Shen Yan’s methods.

Qi Si’s actions almost served as a cover for Shen Yan, letting the outside world only see his measures, thereby shielding Shen Yan’s deeds within the Qi Family.

The terrified Qi Family members went out to proclaim Shen Yan’s ruthlessness, but no one believed them, sensing that they were only slandering Shen Yan because of Qi Si’s oppression.
