The calmer Yun Xi was, the more anxious Yun Chuhan became.

“Then, hurry up and think of something! Why aren’t you here when we need you? Do you want the whole family to go down with Dad?”

The way Yun Chuhan roared at Yun Xi and how she tried to command her older sister as if Yun Xi was nothing more than a tool calmed Yun Xi down even more.

“What do you expect a university student to do? Even if I’m a First-class Socialite, I don’t have the authority to command other people to help me. It is just a title and nothing more. So what can I do?”

“T-then, how about asking the Young Commander for help? He’s the commander of this country! I believe he can get Dad out if he tells the person in charge, right?”

“Have you never heard the saying that a man in the military never deals with politics? They have proof of Dad’s dirty work. Even if the Young Commander has a lot of power in this country, there’s nothing he can do as long as there’s evidence. Heck, even the President wouldn’t be able to get Dad out. Didn’t they teach you this in high school?”

Before Yun Xi had said that, Grandfather Yun had hoped that she would have a way to get Yun Yuanfeng out since she still had the Young Commander to rely on. However, after hearing what she had to say, he realized that as long as the evidence existed, no one could help Yun Yuanfeng, especially not when he was taken by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Grandfather Yun had never hoped that his son would achieve a high position. Instead, all he had ever wanted was for the family to be peaceful.

Yet, his wish could never be fulfilled anymore.

He knew about a significant portion of all the dirty work that Yun Yuanfeng had done in the past and had been hoping that no one would find out about it just like Yun Yuanfeng did.

They never thought that someone had already caught on to what Yun Yuanfeng had done and was just waiting for the right time to strike.

Now that such an incident has happened, the Yun family might not be able to reside in the military region residences anymore. However, after living there for so long, Grandfather Yun could not bring himself to leave the place. He would not be able to get comfortable with living in another place.

Yun Xi silently studied the older man, who was letting out deep sighs. It made her think that other people should not have to bear what Yun Yuanfeng had done.

In the end, she still cared about Grandfather Yun, and she could guess what he was thinking.

The only person in the room who knew who Yun Xi really was, Yao Ying, looked at Yun Xi, hoping that she could help the family.

“Yun Xi, is there really no other way?” Grandfather Yun asked.

They had to grab onto any lifeline they could find. They would still have a chance as long as the Xiao family or the President decided to help them a little.

Even though Yun Yuanfeng might still be sentenced, at least he would avoid getting a death sentence. That was the best outcome for them.

“I’ll think of something. But, I can’t promise that Dad will be completely fine since the proof of what he did is as clear as day,” Yun Xi said. “That’s something we can never erase. Well, what matters the most right now is to make sure that he can live since he has caused an accidental death due to his negligence. The police will join the investigation soon, and there’s no way I can get him out.”

It would’ve been easier if the only crime that Yun Yuanfeng had committed was accepting bribes. However, the death that he had caused would be more than enough to lock him up for the rest of his life.

Grandfather Yun let out another deep sigh. He knew how serious the situation was, and he couldn’t ask a young lady like Yun Xi to go and beg other people.

Even if they were to beg other people for help, most would just turn their heads away, not wanting to get involved.

The older man got up and said, “Just do what you can. You don’t have to force yourself.”

“I know.”

Yun Xi watched Grandfather Yun head up the stairs before turning to glance at her sister, who had been glaring at her the whole time.

The bigger the hope was, the bigger the disappointment would be. Yun Xi guessed that Yun Chuhan had been waiting for her to return and hoped that she would be able to help.

However, because of that, Yun Chuhan had forgotten how serious the situation was.

As the crimes that Yun Yuanfeng was involved in were serious, not only would it affect Yun Chuhan’s future but the whole family as well.
