Majesty Kang even held a press conference personally. He told everyone to calm down and that they have already sent someone to check the Yuan family. They did not find any firearms at the moment, so he told everyone to distinguish between real news and mere gossip.

At the same time, the Eastern Wave Network was sequestrated, and its leader arrested for investigation.

In the words of the officials, the Eastern Wave Network had violated the laws and undermined state order. They created fake news and tried to undermine the peace in the capital.

The other media outlets and reporters did not dare to report the firearms smuggling incident, but they could interview other related people, so they used this chance to create more gossip-related news.

Hence, all the reporters in the capital went after Young Master Han and Yuan Shuangrui.

"Young Master Han, what is your opinion on the incident concerning the Yuan family this time?"

"Young Master Han, there are rumors that you and Miss Yuan are going to break up. Is this true?"

"Young Master Han, you are the person Miss Yuan is engaged to. Do you think the smuggling of firearms is real or fake?"

"Young Master Han, you and Miss Yuan have been engaged for so long. When are you both going to pick a date for the marriage?"

"Young Master Han, rumor has it that you are unhappy with Miss Yuan? Is this true?"

In the face of the reporters' repeated questioning, Han Mubai only gave a faint smile and refused to answer.

The bodyguards rushed forward and blocked off all the reporters. "Make way please. Make way. Young Master Han's personal a.s.sistant will come and answer all of your queries later on. Our Young Master Han still has meetings to hold."

Meanwhile, the Old Lady had been out of critical condition after emergency surgery. Yuan Shuangrui had been worried for the past few days because of this.

Seeing that the news and public discussion had been suppressed at the moment, she heaved a sigh of relief. She understood that Majesty Kang had decided to protect the Yuan family.

She remembered that a man clad in a black suit came to see her that day. He stated Majesty Kang's conditions. At that time, the Old lady suffered a stroke and was still unconscious. As the heir, she agreed to the conditions without hesitation.

However, after the Old Lady came to, she reported this to the Old Lady. The Old Lady could not take the blow and fainted once again.

Yuan Shuangrui's lips curved up in disdain. The danger the Yuan family was in was apparent now. She did not care whether the Old Lady was dead or alive.

After cooping up at home for a few days, she really had enough. She wanted to go out for some fresh air and find Han Mubai to talk to him. If they would not get married out of love, she could still negotiate some terms and conditions with him. Even if she could not win over his heart, marrying him would be good enough for her.

Yuan Shuangrui had already entered a state of extreme paranoia.

However, the moment she stepped out of the house, she was caught off-guard by the reporters who were in hiding. Once they saw her, they started to bombard her with questions.

"Miss Yuan, when you ran out of the hotel so pathetically the last time, was it because you broke up with Young Master Han, or was it because you quarreled with him?"

"The Han family had yet to come out to speak on the Yuan family's incident. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Is it true that the Yuan family smuggled firearms?"

Hearing these few words alone made the fury in Yuan Shuangrui's heart rise up immediately. She took off her sungla.s.ses and said, "My relations.h.i.+p with Mubai is very good, so you don't have to worry. The Yuan family has always been doing company-related business. We don't have anything to do with firearms. Everyone knows that I have no real relation with Lu Suyan. She's always the one trying to get close to me, so she can get closer to Mubai. However, I saw through her, and her embarra.s.sment turned to rage. That's the reason why she crashed her car into mine. Because of this, I was hospitalized for a while. After I got discharged, she used the Lu family to try and pull the Yuan family down as well. Anyone with brains will know that this is slander, so enough. This is all I will say!"

After saying that, Yuan Shuangrui put on her sungla.s.ses and got into her car. She stepped on the pedal and sped away without caring if there was anyone in front of her.
