However, before they managed to receive news of Zi Yi being burnt to death, what arrived first was a group of police officers.
When those officers dashed into Zi Hao’s place, all of Zi Yi’s family were dumbfounded.
“Officer, I wonder why you have paid a visit to my place at this time?” Zi Hao hastily asked the leader of the group.
The leader of the group of officers looked at the group of people who were gathered together, and asked with a stern expression, “It’s currently the middle of the night and none of you are asleep yet. Are you all waiting for some news?”
Zi Hao felt his heart sink as he hastily denied it. “No, there’s no such thing…”
He suddenly stopped talking and as he thought of an excuse he then said, “My wife was beaten up today and she’s still lying over there right now. Everyone is here to visit her and they have each spent some time talking to her. Unknowingly, so much time has passed.”
The leader of the group of officers looked at him with a sharp gaze. “Do you think I’m a fool that is easy to deceive?”
“No, no. Of course not.” Zi Hao tried his best to resist the urge to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. “Officer, I wonder if there’s anything important for all of you to have paid a visit to my place?”
“Shouldn’t you know the best about what’s going on?”
“I’m not exactly sure.” Zi Hao’s heart was almost about to jump out from his throat and yet, he had to pretend as if he did not know anything, and so he revealed a confused look.
As soon as the leader of the group of officers heard his response, his expression darkened.
He then glanced at the rest of the Zi Family members as he sternly said, “If you don’t know, then all of you shall follow me to the police station. You will naturally know once you reach there.”
When they heard that all of them had to go, they were all shocked.
The second eldest in the family hastily asked, “Officer, why do all of us need to be at the police station? What crimes have we committed?”
The Second Madam immediately added and said, “That’s right. It’s the middle of the night right now and even if you are an Officer, you can’t just take us away for no reason.”
Just as the others were about to talk, the expression of the leader of the group of officers darkened even more.
He took out an arrest warrant and said to his subordinates, “Bring them all away.”
“Officer, what have we done? At the very least, shouldn’t you tell us the reason?” Zi Hao was flushed with anxiety and even his breathing became hurried.
“Hiring someone to set the Zi Family’s villa on fire, committing murder for money.”
“How is that possible?! How could we have possibly hired someone to set the Zi Family’s villa on fire? There must be some misunderstanding!”
“There’s no misunderstanding. You will know once you arrive at the police station and confront the parties involved.”

The next day.
The news of the Zi Family members hiring men to set Zi Yi’s house on fire had been spread all around the city. At the same time, the news of Zi Xu being killed by the other two families and how Zi Xuan was not Zi Xu’s daughter, but was instead, Zi Hao’s daughter was also spread out.
For a period of time, the Zi Family’s matters had become a topic of gossip that was discussed everywhere.
Not long after the gossip was released, news that Zi Yi had sold the whole company and donated all the money to the Social Donation Centre also came out.
The entire S City was in a hot debate for a period of time.
“It’s always been rumored that the Zi Family’s eldest daughter is a prodigal child and I didn’t expect that she was the most kindhearted one in the end.”
“We only know people’s faces and not their true nature. Within the rich families, those that appear kind are not necessarily kind people. Those with a bad reputation might not really have a bad character. Since the younger sister of the eldest young miss of the Zi Family was not her biological sister, Miss Zi’s bad reputation must have been deliberately spread out by her stepmother.”
“That must be the case. Wasn’t there news that President Zi was handing the company over to that younger sister of hers? This must have been Li Peirong and Zi Hao’s scheme.”
“Therefore, it isn’t good to be too rich. Perhaps you might get killed by your biological siblings due to envy.”
…
The bad reputation Zi Yi had in S City had also been reversed by the series of events.
In the end, everyone thought that it was Li Peirong’s scheme.
Instead of condemning Zi Yi, they now started to feel sympathy for her.
Of course, all these things happened in the future.
At 9 a.m in the morning, after Lu Jingye and Officer Huang finished discussing the follow-up matters, Lu Jingye returned to the capital with Zi Yi and his bodyguards.
They had left for over twenty days and it was already December now.
As soon as they returned to the capital, they received a phone call from the Dou Family and Mrs. Lu one after another.
Both of the calls were for them to go home for dinner.
In the end, Mrs. Lu said, “Then we’ll get the two families together to have dinner today. Come over to our place for dinner, it just so happens that we can discuss the wedding for the both of you.”
Zi Yi told the Dou Family members about this and all of them agreed to the plan.
Thus, Lu Jingye and Zi Yi directly made their way to the Lu Family’s villa.
By the time the car drove into the Lu Family’s villa, Mrs. Lu was already standing outside the courtyard waiting for them.
As soon as she saw Zi Yi alighting from the car, she immediately smiled and welcomed her. “Yiyi, you’re home.”
“Mom.”
Mrs. Lu was elated at how Zi Yi called out to her. She carefully sized her up and noticed that her complexion looked ruddier. She felt happier deep down and said, “Let’s go in first; it’s too cold outside. I’ve also prepared a lot of delicious food for you.”
“Really?” Zi Yi’s eyes brightened up.
While chatting, the both of them made their way directly into the villa.
Lu Jingye did not mind that he was ignored by his mother as he followed behind them.
When they arrived in the living room, Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu sat down on the sofa. Lu Jingye saw that there was no way for him to interrupt their conversation and so, he said, “Mother, Yiyi, I’ll head to the study room. You can slowly chat.”
“Go, go. Your father will be coming back soon. I’ll get him to look for you when he returns.”
The undisguised disdain in his mother’s voice as if his presence alone was interrupting them, caused Lu Jingye to smile before he headed upstairs.
Mrs. Lu had prepared tons of delicious food for Zi Yi and it had more or less occupied the entire table.
“Yiyi, take a look and see what snacks you like.”
Zi Yi picked up a piece of pastry and slowly ate it.
Mrs. Lu was delighted at that. “Have more if you like it.”
“Mom, you should eat too.” Whichever pastry Zi Yi felt was delicious, she would always offer a piece to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu took whatever Zi Yi offered to her and agreed that it was delicious.
She then said, “I also got the helpers to prepare milk tea for you. It should be done soon.”
As soon as she said that, the housekeeper came over with two cups of milk tea.
Instantly, the scent of adzuki beans1 wafted in the air.
“It’s adzuki milk tea.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
The housekeeper put down the two cups of milk tea on the table and stood upright before he greeted Zi Yi. “Second Madam.”
Mrs. Lu introduced Zi Yi to their housekeeper. “This is our housekeeper, his surname is Lei, and his full name is Lei Hanzhong.”
“Housekeeper Lei.” Zi Yi called out his name. Housekeeper Lei seemed like a serious person, but he still gave her a smile before he left.
Zi Yi continued to chat with Mrs. Lu about what happened during this period of time along with the news of Lu Yunxiao.
In the end, Mrs. Lu grabbed onto her hand and said apologetically, “Jingye might have to leave even though he just came back. The person who injured Yunxiao has yet to be found and there is always a hidden danger. I heard from Jianlin that there might be clues at the Bermuda Triangle.”
Lu Jingye had also brought this up to her before. Zi Yi nodded. “I’ve discussed this with Ah Jing. When the time comes, I’ll make a few bodyguard robots for him before he sets off.”
Moreover, Lu Jingye was heading over there under the guise of purchasing a jadeite mine. Therefore, she still had to make some preparations.
However, before they managed to receive news of Zi Yi being burnt to death, what arrived first was a group of police officers.
When those officers dashed into Zi Hao’s place, all of Zi Yi’s family were dumbfounded.
