Chapter 468 - 144: Friendly Match Roster
Right now, the people on Su Xiaocai’s side are all just watching the show unfold, with the big boss paving the way, waiting for the final result.
It’s different for those standing against Su Xiaocai.
Because of this ungrateful daughter, the Xue Family’s stock took a nosedive.
Extraordinary Island isn’t a listed company, so public opinion doesn’t harm it much.
It’s different for the Xue Family’s publicly traded company, which was supposed to see a midday rise in stock but plummeted instead, hitting the limit down.
Xue Feiting was jumping back and forth between fury and calm.
The victim’s bitter accusations, each tear-filled, put the Xue Family under intense pressure.
Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he felt like exploding, like giving up, not caring anymore.
Yi Xue patted Xue Feiting’s back, "Don’t act impulsively. Let’s think of a way to reduce Xue Huiyi’s charges."
"You’re still considering her? She’s on the verge of dismantling this family."
"What else can we do? Nominally, she’s still our daughter. The fewer charges against her, the less guilt we bear. It’s us who have backed her up with this courage."
Yi Xue also informed the family to take better care of Xue Huiyi so she wouldn’t suffer too much inside.
If her life became unbearable, Xue Huiyi would easily speak recklessly.
Xue Huiyi is very aware of the family situation. If the family doesn’t help her and makes things hard for her, she could say anything.
Xue Feiting: "I regret adopting. If I had resisted the pressure back then and had just the son, it would have been better. With only the son, we could have given the entire family assets to Xue Feiqun and stayed away from this position."
Not being burdened as the elder, he would have more time to accompany his son.
Yi Xue gently pushed him, "I don’t believe you. You’re just saying this." If Xue Feiting didn’t have his current social status, the Yi Family would treat him just like any ordinary relative.
He wouldn’t get much attention, yet Xue Feiting, being proud, would never easily give up his majority shareholder status.
"But did Huixixi really steal other people’s mecha designs?" Yi Xue didn’t believe so. "I watched Huixixi draw many of her designs, constructing them slowly on the computer; how could she have stolen them? People online speak so irresponsibly."
"Who knows what kind of rumors are swirling online? Huiyi’s knowledge base is quite strong. As the second son mentioned, it shouldn’t be possible for her to steal others’ designs."
The second son simply didn’t appreciate Xue Huiyi’s talent; it didn’t align with his personal preferences.
He doesn’t deny Xue Huiyi’s academic abilities, which are sufficient proof of her skills.
Noisy sounds echoed from outside, causing Yi Xue to look up, "I’ll go check what’s happening."
Yi Xue went downstairs and saw many police officers in formal attire. They were carrying cases and holding up search warrants; they were here to collect evidence.
Proving whether Xue Huiyi stole someone else’s "futuristic" design was simple: seal up the designs she drew but hadn’t made public and see if identical copies appear later.
A single drawing might not be enough for comparison, but what about many?
That’s why the police had divided into several teams for the search.
Yi Xue, seeing the search warrant, was left speechless.
No matter how wealthy they are, no matter the Yi Family’s backing, they can’t defy this piece of paper.
This paper represents the power of the state, also representing the power of justice.
Yi Xue took a deep breath and invited them in.
Of course, the police wouldn’t just search for Xue Huiyi’s designs. Since they were here, they wouldn’t overlook any clues.
Including the Xue Family’s maids and servants, everyone got questioned, and a thorough search of the garden was conducted.
Every place they searched had to be in Yi Xue’s view to show that they weren’t taking anything extra.
All items that needed packaging were registered properly.
They told Yi Xue, "After we verify these items, you can take them back. If necessary, we’ll return."
Yi Xue’s grim expression stiffened. Return? After packing away so many electronic products, were they determined to confirm Xue Huiyi’s guilt in plagiarizing designs?
Judgments against superpower users can’t be made public, right?
Yi Xue wanted to present a smile to show outsiders that the Xue Family hadn’t panicked, but she couldn’t manage it.
How did Xue Huiyi end up like this, when she was so adorable and well-behaved as a child?
After the police left, a middle-aged maid handed Yi Xue a glass of water, "Madam, don’t worry too much. Leave this to the lawyers."
Yi Xue choked back tears, "Thank you, Aunt Li. I just can’t understand how the child turned out like this, how she could be so bad."
The middle-aged maid softly said, "Madam, maybe her core was always bad."
"What do you mean?"
"Madam, there are things I’m reluctant to say. When the young lady was a child, she once took Mr. Yi to catch ducks. They weren’t catching ducks for food, nor for fun."
