Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1242: Redirecting Calamity Eastward

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Yaokun strolled out of the villa, with a stern expression on his face!

"It's Brother Kun! Where did he go? Why is he only coming out now?"

"Yaokun suddenly said he could provide direction. Does that mean he's going to help Baili Family out of trouble?"

"Sure enough, Yaokun is reliable. Whenever there's a major issue in the family, he steps up to resolve it urgently. The Old Man didn't raise him for nothing back then!"

In an instant, the members of the Baili Family began to murmur among themselves.

This was because, despite Shi Yaokun not bearing the Baili surname and having no blood ties, the Old Man's fondness since childhood, coupled with his outstanding abilities and training in a mysterious sect, led the entire family to hold him in high regard and respect him.

They even considered him, to some extent, as the new backbone of the younger generation!

Even Baili Xi and Bai Touying hadn't expected Shi Yaokun to stand up at this moment. They exchanged glances and then furrowed their brows.

Shi Yaokun pretended to ignore the gaze of the two elders, directly walking out to confront Lin Liansheng and the others, who were seething with anger.

"Who are you?!"

Lin Liansheng, having never met Shi Yaokun, asked coldly!

"I am Shi Yaokun, an adopted grandson of the Baili Family," Shi Yaokun replied calmly.

"Adopted grandson?!"

Lin Liansheng sneered: "You don't even bear the Baili surname, yet you dare to speak here?"

"Uncle Lin, calm down! I've said it before, if you want revenge for your son, I can provide clues. Or does Uncle Lin think little of my lowly status and doesn't even want clues?" Shi Yaokun countered.

"Enough talk! What clues?!" Lin Liansheng said angrily.

"It goes like this—"

Shi Yaokun was about to speak when Bai Touying quickly interjected: "Young Master Shi, you cannot—"

"Uncle Bai, silence!"

Shi Yaokun wasn't giving Bai Touying any face, even snapping at Uncle Fu in front of everyone: "How long will you have our Baili Family take the fall for that wild brat? Not only did he deceive Xi Yue, but do you want the Baili Family to bear the full brunt?"

Bai Touying was suddenly furious but was speechless for the moment.

"What fall? What kidnapping? Speak clearly!"

Lin Liansheng, however, keenly sensed something was amiss in the conversation and immediately pursued: "'Wild brat'; who is he? And why was Baili Xiyue deceived? What exactly happened when my son came to fetch his bride??"

"Shi Yaokun, this is none of your business. You can go on with your affairs."

At the crucial moment, Baili Xi suddenly spoke, calmly.

"Grandfather, I know you dote on Xi Yue!"

Shi Yaokun's expression changed, suddenly feigning anguish as he spoke to Baili Xi: "But by doing this, you're not loving her, you're harming her! She's committed acts that disgrace the sect, yet you don't hold her accountable; instead, you conceal it, even willing to clash with the Lian Family using our family's power. Yaokun feels you're unworthy and unwise! If you think Yaokun's words today are wrong, once this is over, Yaokun is willing to accept punishment and adhere to family rules!"

"What? Conceal?? Disgrace the sect??? Yaokun, what do you know? Speak!"

"Yes, why, even as members of the Baili Family, we're unaware of the details. What shameful secrets lie within this?"

"What exactly has Baili Xiyue done? Earlier, Sister Li said she brought back a wild man, but we didn't understand; could it really be true??"

Even among the Baili Family members, relationships vary in closeness.

Previously, when Baili Xiyue brought Jiang Feng home, only the closest direct family members, such as Baili Bo, Baili Long, Baili Li, could see and hear, but were forced into silence due to the Old Man's pressure.

Now, with Shi Yaokun's declaration, it naturally stirred a great commotion; these family members were kept in the dark!

Baili Xi's expression turned even uglier; he finally realized that he had raised a traitor in Shi Yaokun all these years.

This move by Shi Yaokun was indeed two birds with one stone, both exposing Baili Xi, putting him in a difficult position, and publicly establishing his own prestige, gaining more recognition and support within the family.

"You are Shi Yaokun, right? Quickly reveal what you know!" Lin Liansheng shouted angrily!

"Uncle Lin, here's how it is; my grandfather initially intended to unite our families through marriage, out of goodwill, aiming for both families to complement and benefit each other."

Shi Yaokun turned to Lin Liansheng and said: "But unexpectedly, on the day your son arrived, Xi Yue, discontent with the marriage, brought back a man privately, claiming he was her lifelong partner, and the two had already… carried out a secret relationship!"

"Your son felt humiliated and left in a fit of anger!"

"What?? Did this happen??"

Lin Liansheng exploded instantly, followed by Ao Zhong and the others!

Ai Sichun even screamed and cursed in rage, transforming into a shrew, furious, and red-eyed!

"Just as suspected! Baili Xi, you old fool, you still deny the fault lies with your family?! I knew my son wouldn't leave without reason; the root cause is that wild man!"

Lin Liansheng was beyond furious!

Nonetheless, he was now thrilled, realizing that as long as he thoroughly investigated the matter of the broken engagement, if the Baili Family was solely responsible, it would be easy to handle, meaning his son wasn't disgraced, nor did it tarnish the Lian Family's reputation. He was even unafraid of the Old Master Lin knowing, for surely the Old Master Lin would fully support him in demanding an explanation!

"But even if you tell me this, how does it relate to my son's death? Where's the clue?" Lin Liansheng eyed Shi Yaokun coldly again.

"Uncle Lin, think a little!"

Shi Yaokun reminded: "That wild man from Binhai, Jiang Feng, although he cunningly used disgraceful methods to win Xi Yue's affection, he probably remains uneasy, believing his competence is inferior to your son's, thus he had to eliminate him to secure his future!"

"And as I know, that boy is skilled in Ancient Martial arts, a master; sneaking into the hotel at night is not difficult!"

"Your son was a promising talent, yet tragically fell to such a petty hand..."

At this point, Shi Yaokun revealed his ultimate intention.

He aimed to play misdirected blame, nominally assisting the Baili Family out of trouble but plunging Baili Xi and Baili Xiyue into a morally precarious position, then bringing the unsuspecting scapegoat Jiang Feng forth, achieving yet another two birds with one stone!

But Lin Liansheng, engulfed in anger, was in no mood to consider evidence or lack thereof; he clenched his fists, trembling, and asked: "Then this Jiang Feng you mentioned, where is he now?!"
