By this point, the chief secretary was almost completely swayed. In his eyes, Song Yi'an and Li Qiyu weren't like Song Yunsheng, who were scheming and coveting the Song family's wealth. They were just innocent outsiders who were only taking on the pressure for free out of gratitude to Old Master Song.
Moreover, he and Old Master Song had observed Song Yi'an for so many years. He knew what kind of person Song Yi'an was.
The chief secretary blushed deeply. Finally, he changed his tune. "Go do what you want to do. Old Master Song will understand you."
With the chief secretary's support, Li Qiyu secretly let out a sigh of relief. The chief secretary didn't represent just one person, but all the old-timers in the Song Group. With his support, their plan could proceed smoothly.
However, she still couldn't help but remind him. "You still have to protect yourself. I really don't know if the crazy Song Yunsheng will do something extreme."
The chief secretary nodded. "Don't worry. I've been through storms. I know what I'm doing."
While Li Qiyu and the chief secretary were discussing things here, little did they know that on the other side, things were also happening.
One of Song Yunsheng's subordinates reported the recent developments in the company to him. Song Yunsheng also knew that his plan to rely on public opinion had failed.
"Li Qiyu!" Song Yunsheng slammed his fist on the table.
Song Yunsheng had clashed with Song Yi'an before. He knew that using Old Master Song's death as a weapon couldn't have been thought up by the upright Song Yi'an.
In fact, in the past, Li Qiyu and Song Yi'an had similar tempers. They were both stubborn, but they also made Song Yunsheng feel at ease because he knew that Li Qiyu would never play tricks behind his back.
Now, it seemed that this woman had changed greatly.
The subordinate said worriedly, "If we continue this public opinion war, it might be unfavorable to us."
After all, the charge of "murder" was hanging over Song Yunsheng, which was much more serious than their claim that Song Yi'an was an imposter.
The subordinate was also afraid that if they continued to argue with the other side, it might land their boss in prison.
Song Yunsheng said, "No, we must continue."
The subordinate didn't understand. "Actually, as long as the judicial process starts and the police investigate, the truth will come out. That imposter won't be able to cause any more trouble."
In fact, Song Yunsheng was very scared inside. He didn't have the courage to face a court trial.
The materials he provided were all real, but they couldn't withstand close scrutiny.
For example, the paternity test report was indeed done by Old Master Song. At that time, Old Master Song didn't authorize him to handle this matter. He took advantage of the time when Song Yi'an was away from the capital and the Song Group needed a leader to sign documents. He mixed the consent form with Old Master Song's documents and got Old Master Song to sign it for the test.
He wasn't familiar with Song Yi'an, so the sample wasn't Song Yi'an's but his own.
But if the police got involved and did another paternity test, it was hard to say if the result would be the same as now.
Moreover, he was indeed involved in Old Master Song's death.
If he hadn't told Old Master Song that Song Yi'an wasn't his grandson, Old Master Song wouldn't have suffered a sudden attack from anger.
Of course - it was all his intention.
Old Master Song was really in the way. As long as he was around, Song Yi'an seemed to have a protective talisman. Seeing that no matter how hard he tried, the Song Group was gradually falling into Song Yi'an's hands, how could Song Yunsheng be convinced!
Song Yunsheng came up with a vicious idea.
"Since they like to speak so much, I'll make them shut up forever!"
At this moment, he was a bit crazy and obsessed.
It was hard to tell if it was because of the days of competing with Song Yi'an and realizing that he might lose everything, or because he found that Li Qiyu was actually helping others against him, which made him feel resentful.
But the subordinate's legs were trembling uncontrollably when he saw the sinister and vicious Song Yunsheng.
He didn't know what kind of vicious scheme Song Yunsheng would come up with.
On the other side, in the hotel villa.
After the chief secretary understood the two young people's plan, he didn't stay long. He quickly got up and said goodbye.
Li Qiyu saw him off. It took a long way to walk from the villa area to the hotel entrance. Li Qiyu took out her phone and was about to contact the hotel manager when she suddenly heard the roar of a car.
Although cars could pass on this road, there was a speed limit. The speed inside couldn't exceed 10 miles per hour, and the sound of this engine was obviously abnormal.
Li Qiyu looked up and saw that about a few hundred meters away, Song Yi'an, who had just finished his work, was walking back. He saw the chief secretary and Li Qiyu standing at the door. Especially when he saw Li Qiyu, his eyes were instantly attracted to her. He waved his arm and shouted Li Qiyu's name, not realizing at all the car rushing towards him from behind.
Li Qiyu's face turned pale with fright. She quickly signaled him to run away. Song Yi'an noticed that Li Qiyu's gestures and movements were strange, and then he realized there was danger behind him. He looked back, but the car was already very close. Even though he was very skilled, he was inevitably hit and flown into the air by the car. What was even more fatal was that his whole body hit the wall heavily and finally bounced to the corner.
Li Qiyu felt that all the blood in her body had been drained at this moment. She only felt her hands and feet were cold, and her mind went completely blank.
Li Qiyu ran towards Song Yi'an like crazy. The肇事 vehicle didn't stop at all and quickly drove away.
The chief secretary was also scared. He quickly took out his phone, called an ambulance, and reported the incident to the police.
Li Qiyu rushed to Song Yi'an's side and helped him up. There was a big cut on Song Yi'an's head, and the blood flowed out from his hair, staining Li Qiyu's clothes red.
Li Qiyu was terrified.
At this moment, Song Yi'an still had a little strength. He reached into his pocket and took out a box of cookies. But he didn't even have the strength to put it into Li Qiyu's hand before he lost consciousness.
Li Qiyu hugged Song Yi'an. She didn't know what to do. She only then realized that she had long been unable to live without Song Yi'an. When something happened to Song Yi'an, she was at a loss. She could only hug Song Yi'an, and her body was trembling. Although she didn't shed a single tear, her expression was uglier than crying.
"Song Yi'an, don't scare me. You're okay, right? Please, don't scare me. I can't take it."
