Chapter 431: Yu Xi Exits

As soon as Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli got into the car, his secretary came running down from upstairs. His anxious voice rang out, "CEO! Something's happened!"

When Jiang Muye heard his words, his brow furrowed tightly.

By the time he arrived at the scene with Leng Ruoli, the fire was already raging fiercely, flames billowing everywhere. The massive villa had been burned to nothing.

Firefighters were already on the scene battling the blaze, and only then had the fire been slightly brought under control.

"Heavens…" Leng Ruoli gasped. She wanted to step forward, but Jiang Muye held her back. "Don't go up there."

The firefighters had already rescued two people.

However, the bodies on the stretchers had been burned into a haze of blood and gore, some parts even charred black. It was a horrifying sight, and a nauseating burnt smell wafted from them.

Leng Ruoli gagged. Her heart was pounding with terror, and she instantly covered her eyes with her hand. "Don't look," came the heavy voice.

But the image was still burned into Leng Ruoli's mind.

Feeling sick, she moved to the flowerbed nearby and dry-heaved.

Seeing Leng Ruoli's discomfort, Jiang Muye felt somewhat guilty for bringing her along.

Leng Ruoli didn't throw anything up, but her little face was terribly pale. Because of the sour, bloated feeling in her stomach, tears were already glistening in her eyes.

"Feeling better?" Jiang Muye asked worriedly.

"A bit better." Leng Ruoli nodded.

Jiang Muye handed Leng Ruoli a handkerchief, and she began wiping the corner of her mouth.

She felt slightly more comfortable now, and leaned weakly into Jiang Muye's embrace.

"Who is that? Is it Yu Xi?" Leng Ruoli asked.

"Not sure yet. The police will investigate." When Jiang Muye had first learned of the information from his secretary, he'd wondered if it was a joke.

He'd been about to go arrest Yu Xi, and then he was told Yu Xi was dead.

But the two bodies at the scene were both male. Could they have been Yu Xi and Huo Zhenghao? No, that didn't seem likely. Weren't Yu Xi and Huo Zhenghao on the same side? A mutual destruction didn't seem possible. Had they been killed together by an enemy?

Of course, it was also possible that neither of the bodies was them.

There were still many mysteries swirling in Jiang Muye's mind that he couldn't explain.

When Jiang Muye returned to the villa with Leng Ruoli, the intelligence was updated.

"CEO, we've done the DNA comparison. It's Yu Xi and Huo Zhenghao," the secretary said over the phone.

Jiang Muye was astonished.

He'd wanted to bring these two down himself, and had been worrying about how to deal with them. And now they'd been wiped out together?

Did he just get a free win?!

For such a good thing to fall into his lap was more unbelievable than winning the lottery.

Two big villains dead in one day! And they were mortal enemies, at that!

Could it have been Aunt's doing? But Aunt didn't seem like the type to just sit and wait for death.

Or was there another big boss? If so, that would be a real headache.

As Jiang Muye was pondering deeply, his computer email let out a ding notification.

Jiang Muye opened the email.

At first glance, he was stunned.

It was a suicide note from Yu Xi!

Jiang Muye verified the email address. It wasn't a prank—it really had been sent by Yu Xi!

It was just that it was a scheduled email, set to be sent to him at this exact time.

The content was nothing more than some straightforward statements. Yu Xi explained the evil deeds he and Huo Zhenghao had committed, laid out all the evidence, and said he would personally end everything and take Huo Zhenghao with him.

According to the suicide note, Yu Xi really had taken Huo Zhenghao down. That part wasn't a lie.

So there was no other boss. That was good. He still wanted to enjoy a few leisurely days.

It seemed that even for the wealthy, it was lonely at the top.

Jiang Muye was about to close the email after reading it, but then he noticed an attachment.

The attachment was actually a video. When he clicked it open, he fell silent.

It was a video of Huo Zhenghao having a massive argument with the Chairman of the Chen Clan over equity disputes, and then pushing the Chairman of the Chen Clan down the stairs.

Yu Xi had actually dared to keep this?

So the previous Chairman of the Chen Clan hadn't died in an accident—he'd been murdered!

Without another word, Jiang Muye handed the video over to Aunt. Aunt was also surprised, but she dealt with the matter swiftly.

Under Aunt's methods, Huo Zhenghao's backer was completely toppled.

Aunt helped Jiang Muye pull out the weeds by the roots, leaving no future troubles behind.

Yu Xi and Huo Zhenghao were completely dead. Only this time, no one came to collect their bodies, so they were simply cremated. After all, there was no family or trusted people around them.

Jiang Muye thought to himself that this was the Heavenly Dao's cycle of karma—who could the heavens spare?

If these two had done even a few good deeds while alive, they wouldn't have met such an end.

Jiang Muye was still grateful to Yu Xi for handing over the final evidence and letting the truth come to light. All he could say was that a hateful person must have a pitiful side. Yu Xi had taken the wrong path but didn't know how to turn back, and in the end, he died.

After Yu Xi's death, Jiang Muye began handling some of the Chen Clan's affairs.

With no stumbling blocks in his way, Jiang Muye was even smoother than before.

His relationship with Leng Ruoli was also more stable than anyone's, and they had reached the point of discussing marriage.

The two of them even went to a wedding expo together, involuntarily envisioning all the scenes of their future wedding.

【Congratulations, Host, for checking in at the wedding expo. Reward: 500 Grit Points.】

"So there are this many kinds of weddings," Leng Ruoli murmured, arm in arm with Jiang Muye. "And so many ceremonial steps."
