Chapter 423: The Fall of Li Moran

Chapter 423: The Fall of Li Moran

Prison?

At that moment, the sound of police sirens rang out perfectly from outside the banquet hall.

Immediately after, a group of uniformed police officers swarmed in, directly approaching Li Moran and, without a word, slapped the cuffs on her.

"Get off me! What right do you have to handcuff me? I am the wife of the Xuanyuan family, what right do you have? I am innocent!" Li Moran, realizing what was happening, quickly struggled.

Yun Mu looked at Li Moran, "Save your breath, I've already handed the evidence over to the police. With multiple charges combined, you can't escape! Mrs. Li, how do you like this return for your teachings?"

That witch!

Just because she helped Liu Ling against Yun Mu, she, together with Yi Jue, gathered so much incriminating evidence to personally send her to prison!

How utterly ruthless!

Truly befitting the head of the Yun family!

In that instant, Li Moran suddenly remembered Liu Ling's words about retreating to advance. Yes, she knew well how ruthless Yun Mu was and was fully aware of Yi Jue's methods, so why did she act so aggressively?

But it was already too late...

Seeing Yun Mu's smug expression, Li Moran was furious, "Yun Mu! Don't get too cocky! Your retribution is yet to come, I curse you to die a miserable death like your short-lived mother!"

Yi Jue's eyes darkened, "Get her out of here!"

Several police officers immediately stepped forward to gag Li Moran and forcibly dragged her out of the banquet hall.

In an instant, the hall fell dead silent.

Everyone looked at each other, all deeply sighing.

No one could wrap their heads around the fact that this seemingly elegant and noble Madam Xuanyuan was actually a habitual murderer!

Even the head of the Yi family, Yi Hou...

What a spectacle!

Li Moran became a murderer, and Yi Hou, the head of the family, was also disgraced, his reputation completely ruined.

Xuanyuan Xun was completely stunned, and Xuanyuan Xue fainted from the shock.

Only Yi Yanran's eyes were filled with venom as she stared at Yun Mu. She was the first to step forward and point at Yun Mu, "Yun Mu! How can you be so malicious? I have no grudge against you, yet you ruined my engagement banquet and spoiled my plans!"

Yi Yanran truly felt like dying at that moment. Her father's reputation was ruined, but at least Yi Qinglan was dead, and the Yi family would still be his.

But what about her? Forced to engage with the useless Xuanyuan Xun, and now Li Moran was a murderer, having killed Xuanyuan Ming's parents, which meant Xuanyuan Xun would never be the heir to the Xuanyuan family.

What was she to do?

She, the esteemed eldest daughter of the Yi family, Yi Yanran, was destined to be the mistress of a household!

And what hurt her even more was that Ji Ming actually helped Yun Mu, joining her in destroying everything she had!

Looking at the furious Yi Yanran, Yun Mu found it all quite amusing.

"Miss Yi, do you even know right from wrong? Li Moran is a murderer, should I choose an auspicious day to expose her crimes?"

Indeed! The crowd also looked at Yi Yanran with disapproval. Li Moran, such a vicious and venomous woman, should have been in prison long ago!

Yi Yanran truly doesn't deserve the title of National Sweetheart. Her private life is chaotic, and that's not all—she has no sense of right and wrong.

But it's no wonder, birds of a feather flock together. Yi Hou and Li Moran hooked up when they were young, and now Yi Yanran and Xuanyuan Xun are paired up—what a disgrace!

Yi Yanran was left speechless by Yun Mu's sharp words.

Yun Mu casually glanced around the banquet hall, then slowly curled her red lips into a smile. "Yi Yanran, I thought you would thank me. After all, I showed you Li Moran's true colors and made you aware of the hellhole you were about to jump into. An engagement is not a marriage; you can still cut your losses in time."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yanran was momentarily stunned.

Yes.

Was she really going to marry Xuanyuan Xun like this? It was just an engagement, and with this incident, the wedding banquet had been interrupted. She could completely tear up this engagement!

Realizing the truth, Yi Yanran couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.

But just as she was about to remove the engagement ring from her finger, Xuanyuan Xun suddenly rushed forward and grabbed her wrist.

Xuanyuan Xun, who had been muddle-headed for over twenty years, finally had a moment of clarity.

Now that he had lost his mother, who had always supported him, if he were to lose Yi Yanran, his powerful fiancée from a prominent family, he would be in even worse trouble!

He yanked Yi Yanran behind him and glared at Yun Mu in anger. "Yun Mu, what are you talking about? It's better to destroy ten bridges than to ruin a marriage. How can you be so wicked as to take away my future wife?"

Then he even pointed furiously at Yi Jue, "And you, you bastard! You got my mother locked up, and now you want to ruin me too? You shouldn't have come back, you shouldn't even be alive..."

*Slap!*

A sudden, unexpected slap landed on Xuanyuan Xun's face, sending him tumbling to the ground.

At some point, Xuanyuan Ming, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, had stood up. Trembling, he pointed at Xuanyuan Xun on the ground, unable to speak.

Xuanyuan Xun clutched his face, staring at Xuanyuan Ming in shock, unable to understand why he had been slapped.

He was utterly aggrieved. "Dad, why did you hit me? Why do you always protect this bastard?"

Xuanyuan Ming, his chest heaving with anger, pointed at Xuanyuan Xun and scolded, "You unfilial son! If it weren't for your constant debauchery and lack of achievements, would I have had to place all my hopes on your big brother? He is your big brother, your family, and the eldest brother is like a father to you. Who allowed you to speak to him so disrespectfully? You must respect him! It's all my fault for being too busy with work and neglecting your upbringing, allowing that poisonous woman Li Moran to corrupt you!"

"Dad..."

"Enough! From now on, you are not to call that murderer Li Moran 'Mom,' nor are you to have any contact with the Li family! Apologize to your big brother immediately! Otherwise, don't call me your father, and don't claim to be my son, Xuanyuan Ming!"

Xuanyuan Xun looked at Xuanyuan Ming in disbelief. "You want me to call him 'big brother'? I have a big brother, but it's not him!"

"You idiot! Apologize now!" Xuanyuan Ming roared.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Xun on the ground, filled with complex and incomprehensible emotions.

Having experienced such dramatic ups and downs in a single day, witnessing his family fall apart and become unrecognizable, Xuanyuan Xun seemed to grow up a little in that moment.

He sensed that his father, who had always disapproved of him, was now shouting not out of anger, but with a hint of pity.

So, despite the overwhelming reluctance and humiliation in his heart, he bit his lip and, with great difficulty, forced out the words through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry... big brother."
