Chapter 471: Revenge Served

Chapter 471: Revenge Served

Two minutes later.

"Boom—!"

A deafening explosion shattered the air.

The air felt like it was being ripped apart, and the members of the Yun Family were momentarily deafened. The ground shook violently, and the houses trembled. The Yun Family members scattered in all directions, and the alarm blared loudly.

Yun Chengsen's mansion quickly collapsed amidst the explosion, crumbling into ruins in an instant.

A powerful shockwave erupted into the sky, stirring up dust.

Fortunately, the members of the Yun Family were well-trained. After a brief panic, the bodyguards promptly rushed to the scene of the explosion.

At this moment, not far away.

Yunzhe, covered in fake "wounds," emerged from the rubble and dust.

He rolled over slowly, coughing up dust.

"The head of the family! It’s him!"

The bodyguards swarmed around him.

Yunzhe coughed up blood, slowly got up, and staggered weakly, saying, "It was my uncle! He tried to kill me! Cough, cough, cough—"

After delivering his lines, Yunzhe's eyes rolled back, and he "fainted."

Meanwhile, Yun Mu, having already fled the explosion site and squatting in a small forest outside with a telescope, watched in amazement. 'I had no idea Yunzhe was such a good actor. That fainting pose was especially convincing!'

Yi Jue glanced at her, "After all that, how are you?"

"I'm fine."

Yun Mu stood up straight, put down the telescope, and looked at the smoke ahead.

She coldly curled her lips, "This serves as revenge for both my father and me."

In the aftermath of the explosion, among the ashes, they found Yun Chengsen's body, which had been blown beyond recognition. Some partially burned documents were also found in his study.

The documents detailed Yun Chengsen's dealings with Yi Hou over the years, as well as how the two had conspired to plot against Yun Mu more than a year ago.

As a result, no one questioned the explosion’s cause. Everyone knew that Yun Chengsen had previously wanted to usurp the position, and more than a year ago, he had conspired with Yi Hou to kill Yun Mu in order to seize the position of the head of the Yun Family. No one expected Yun Mu to not only survive but also return and hand over the position to Yunzhe.

It made sense that Yun Chengsen, in a rage, tried to kill Yunzhe.

With the evidence of Yun Chengsen conspiring with Yi Hou to murder the head of the family and now attempting to kill the current head, naturally, no one in the Yun Family dared to speak up for him. He was denied a funeral and deemed unworthy of burial in the Yun Family cemetery or ancestral hall.

...

The next day, Yun Mu picked up a bouquet of flowers and, accompanied by Yi Jue, went to the Yun Family cemetery.

Yun Mu walked into the cemetery alone, holding the flowers, while Yi Jue parked the car outside and waited for her, casually lighting a cigarette.

As he bent down to light his cigarette, Yi Jue noticed a woman in a black dress and sunglasses passing by. Initially, it was just a casual glance, and Yi Jue didn’t pay much attention.

By the time he recognized her profile, she was already gone.

I must be mistaken, probably.

Inside the cemetery grounds.

Yun Mu placed the bouquet of flowers beside her father's grave and poured him a glass of wine.

"Your only hobby in life was probably drinking this wine. It's been five years; let me toast to you."

Yun Mu also brought a glass for herself, but due to her pregnancy, she only took a small sip.

She laughed at herself, "If you were still alive and saw me resign as head of the family to focus on being a wife and mother, you'd probably scold and hit me again. But... you should have scolded me. It's been five years since you died, and I only just found out you were murdered—that's really unfilial of me. What's even more shameful is that Yunzhe was the one who avenged you!"

"But maybe it's better this way. After all, you were practically a father to him. You always favored him more when he was young. I always felt like he was your real son, and I was the adopted one. Otherwise, why did I never get a single compliment or even a smile from you? But Yunzhe got all of that."

"So now, I've passed the position of head of the family to him. You probably wouldn't object, right? After all, he was the child you raised."

At this point, Yun Mu let out a light scoff, "Forget it, talking about this makes it seem like I'm competing with Yunzhe for your favor. I don't care! Old man, I have my own child now. Soon, I'll have my own husband, child, and my own family. I'll live a life totally different from what you planned for me. Of course, that's if I can survive."

"After all, you also screwed me over. How did you manage to piss off Yun Chengsen? Old man, can you send me a dream and let me know? Even if I die, I want to know the truth."

Yun Mu stared at the tombstone for a while, then sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, talking to you for so long is useless. I came today to talk to you about Yun Chengsen. I hope you and Mom are happy down there."

Yun Mu stood by her mother's tombstone a bit longer, complaining, "Why don't the Yun family tombstones have photos? I still don't know what my mom looks like."

Then, seeing it was about time, she left the cemetery.

Yi Jue saw her come out and handed her a glass of water. Yun Mu took it and drank a small sip.

"Were you bored waiting?"

"Not long. Is this cemetery open to the public?" Yi Jue asked.

Yun Mu chuckled, "How could it be? There are so many burial items inside, and it's full of traps. Only the Yun family can enter."

Yi Jue said, "Just now, a woman came out. She looked somewhat familiar."

Yun Mu was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Was she wearing a long black dress, with an ethereal vibe?"

Yi Jue nodded, "Seemed like it."

Yun Mu immediately realized and chased after her.

"Yun Mu!" Yi Jue quickly got in the car and followed, "Get in!"

Yun Mu hurriedly got in the car, "Where did she go? Hurry and chase her!"

For some reason, Yun Mu suddenly remembered the familiar woman she saw at the banquet that night, feeling like they were the same person.

Her heart started pounding, and she didn't even know where this feeling came from.

Yi Jue drove around the cemetery for a while but didn't see the woman again.

In the end, Yun Mu sighed, "Forget it, let's not look anymore."

Yi Jue looked at Yun Mu's uneasy expression and frowned, "Do you know that woman?"

Yun Mu shook her head, "No, I don't even know if it's that mysterious woman."

"The one from the last banquet?" Yi Jue had some impression.

Yun Mu nodded, "Feels like someone familiar, like there's some connection."

"Don't overthink it, maybe it's just a case of mistaken identity. How about this, I'll have Cheng Li check the guest list from Grandpa Shangguan's banquet last time." Yi Jue couldn't bear to see her troubled.

"That works." Yun Mu said.
