Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Getting Drunk (2)_1

Situ Haoran was different from Situ Haotian, he had his own concerns. After all, Liu Chengtian was his wife’s nephew. As his uncle by marriage, he couldn’t just confront his wife’s nephew without any evidence.

Situ Haoran’s concerns were valid. However, Situ Haoran’s attitude made both Situ Haotian and Situ Che feel very uncomfortable. Situ Haotian directly yelled at his brother Situ Haoran, "What more evidence do we need when it’s all so clear?"

But Old Master Situ agreed with his eldest son’s opinion, that no matter the issue, evidence was necessary.

Situ Haotian, Situ Haoran, and Situ Che began to search for evidence to prove Situ Che’s innocence and to show that this was all someone else’s conspiracy. However, this time the efforts weren’t going well at all. It seemed as if someone had already tampered with all potential evidence beforehand. Everything they tried to retrieve, like the footage from "Broadway" and the hotel where Situ Che was taken on that day, they were informed was unavailable.

The cleanliness and efficiency of the cover-up was causing Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran endles headaches.

And as time slowly passed, the deadline set by Old Master Shan was rapidly approaching. Additionally, Shan Xue, seeing that the Situ Family was making no moves and growing anxious, specifically sought out Situ Che’s mother, Liu Qian. She told Liu Qian about the situation and even persuaded her to try to influence Situ Che’s thoughts, saying that marrying her niece would do him no harm.

After hearing Shan Xue’s words, Liu Qian was stunned. She went back to ask her husband and son what was really going on. Once she received confirmation from them, Liu Qian slumped into a chair. How could she not know what kind of family her sister-in-law’s family was? The girls from that kind of family could never be good.

Moreover, they had the audacity to hatch such a shameless scheme against her son. Until now, Liu Qian had never blamed her nephew for her son being targeted.

Liu Qian had been deeply worried ever since she learned about the incident. And with Old Madam Situ and Loo Yaxin both away at BL, she had no one at home to talk to. So, as the deadline for rejecting Old Master Shan’s condition approached, Liu Qian couldn’t help herself and made a call to her mother-in-law in BL, informing her about the matter. This led to the urgent scene of Situ Xin and others hurrying back home.

After the four men of the Situ Family had explained the situation from beginning to end, the room fell so silent that one could have heard a pin drop.

After hearing the entire story, Situ Xin became lost in thought. But Loo Yaxin was seething with anger, "Liu Chengtian really is heartless, conspiring with his in-laws against his own cousin. And the Shan Family is no better. Their intentions towards Ah Che are as clear as day. They should take a good look at themselves; with what right do they harbour such thoughts?"

Loo Yaxin’s words may have been reckless, but they indeed echoed the thoughts of almost everyone present. However, someone felt very embarrassed by her remarks, and that person was Liu Qian. Deep down, she had always been avoiding the fact that the incident was connected to her nephew, Liu Chengtian.

At that moment, having been directly called out by Loo Yaxin, she instantly felt a shift in the way everyone was looking at her.

"Yaxin, what kind of way is that to speak?" Old Master Loo glared at Loo Yaxin, scolding her. Even though he agreed with Loo Yaxin’s words, when it came to the Liu Family, they had no right to speak out.

"Mom is right, neither the Shan Family nor Liu Chengtian are good for anything." Situ Xin wouldn’t care who the other party was or what their relationships were. In Situ Xin’s heart, if anyone bullied her family, even if it were the King of Heaven, she wouldn’t hesitate to scold them. "However, in this incident, it wasn’t just Liu Chengtian who took part; you could say that the Liu Family and the Shan Family have been plotting this for a long time. But given the limited power of the Liu Family and the Shan Family, to clean up their mess so thoroughly is hardly likely. There must be another force behind them, aiding them."

When Situ Xin mentioned that the Liu Family was also involved, Liu Qian’s complexion turned very ugly. However, since these words were said by Situ Xin, whom Liu Qian had always doted on, she didn’t take any offense to what Situ Xin had said. Instead, Liu Qian’s mind repeatedly mulled over Situ Xin mentioning that the Liu Family was also involved in plotting against Situ Che.

"Baby, what is this force behind the scenes you’re talking about?" Old Master Situ thought for a moment before asking. He had guessed that Situ Che’s frame-up was connected to the Liu Family and the Shan Family, but he hadn’t considered the force behind them.

"I’m not clear on that right now. I need to investigate further to know. However, I’ll make sure to look into the incident of Broadway’s surveillance footage being taken," Situ Xin said, her eyes narrowing dangerously. It seemed that Dragon Society or someone within Broadway had already become a so-called spy.

And Situ Xin was most adverse to spies and traitors. So it was predictable that if someone truly betrayed her, the consequences they would face would be dire.

If it weren’t for the fact that Situ Xin knew Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were still at BL, handling Brown Kress for her, she would have definitely called Xia Yujie right away to have him investigate immediately.

Only when it was time to depend on Xia Yujie and they were unavailable did Situ Xin realize how fortunate it was to have Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang as her right-hand men.

The Situ Family and the Loo Family were all aware that Broadway was owned by Dragon Society; Situ Xin had even taken them there for a meal before, so when Situ Xin mentioned she would investigate the surveillance footage, it gave Old Master Situ and the others a glimmer of hope.

They believed that if they found the surveillance footage, they could also find evidence to prove that Situ Che had been set up.

"Grandfather, Uncle, Aunt, and Brother Che, you all don’t worry for now. I will definitely get to the bottom of this. I want to see what kind of fate those who wish to scheme against our Situ Family will meet," Situ Xin said. Only then did she remember that the Liu Family was her Aunt’s maiden family. But according to Situ Xin’s principles, if she managed to find evidence that the Liu Family was involved in plotting against her brother, she definitely wouldn’t let the Liu Family off the hook. Situ Xin turned to look at Liu Qian and said, "Aunt, there’s something I think I should say in advance. If it turns out that the Liu Family was involved in scheming against Brother Che, I definitely won’t let them go. So, when the time comes, please don’t be upset with Baby over this matter." Situ Xin was putting the ugliest part of the situation out in the open.
