Chapter 950: Meng Yu Disappeared
The Guan family’s contributions to the nation were undeniable and acknowledged by the masses. However, this did not mean that Guan Lei could betray his country, nor did it justify the Guan family resorting to assassinating a general who had dedicated himself to the nation.
In such a situation, some extremists had already started organizing small forces to seek justice against the Guan family.
Even with the testimonies of the general’s wife and children, vehemently affirming the impossibility of the Guan family’s involvement, it failed to dispel the suspicions held by the public.
Even the Guan family’s assets were under suspicion, questioned as potential gains from Guan Yi’s abuse of power.
"These people are clearly talking nonsense!" Shen Yan frowned, remarking, "Guan Yi originally came from a business background, and only entered the military and politics after the alliance with the Ye family. The family business was handed over to Ye Long and later to Guan Yan. Not to mention, the Ye family was already prominent. Isn’t it normal for them to accumulate such assets?"
"Hubby, where there’s a will, there’s a way. These people are deliberately tarnishing the Guan family’s reputation, using public opinion to suppress them. Mark my words, once there’s a new election or the recommendation of an acting general begins, if the chosen person has any connection to the Guan family, it will be exposed. They won’t be able to take office, and the one eventually promoted will be someone associated with the opposition," Lu Shan said solemnly.
"I’m more concerned that the Guan family might completely fall in this incident. They might even be labeled as traitors and spies. I received information that some civilian organizations have gathered to besiege the Guan family. I fear the Guan family might be eliminated in the end," Shen Yan sighed.
Shen Xi’s expression was also grim. At this point, the situation had escalated beyond a minor issue. At this rate, Meng Yu’s identity might be exposed, and he would also face dire consequences.
