26 A scandal that almost dragged down the entire Zhi clan

The black Rolls Royce phantom slowed down and stopped at the traffic light, like a show-stopper gathering envious glances from those crossing the street, wondering who is the big shot driving the car.

"You're not working today? don't you miss Secretary Yun?" Tristan jested, they just left the hospital not long ago.

"Why would I work on a weekend?"

Tristan threw a glance at Shin, whose attention is outside the changing scenery.

The concept of night and weekend used to be an alien culture to this cousin of him, how did he change so much in just a week? is this permanent or temporary?

"Our baby cub is finally a human being." Tristan chuckled and said, "keep in mind that a human being constantly needs macronutrients and multivitamins, the healthiest way to replenish that is by pushing your woman in bed."

The driver in front felt nervous, why must Young Master Felan annoy the tyrant emperor? he doesn't want to be implicated.

However, Shin merely furrowed his brows and looked at Tristan with a bored expression, darting back his attention outside.

In fact, Shin hates to admit that he's actually looking forward to it.

"I'll take it that you're very much satisfied with my suggestion," Tristan said with a mischievous smile.

If it was before, the Shin Keir he know would have long flared up.

Tristan thought of teasing him more but his phone suddenly rang.

'Saeki'

"What's up?" Tristan answered, putting the call on speaker.

"Big bro! where are you?! why is big bro Shin not picking up my calls?" Saeki's cheerful and friendly voice filled the car.

"Why? do you want to get beaten again?" Tristan snickered.

Saeki let out a resounding laughed. "I wouldn't mind getting beaten again if big bro will close more of my brothers' businesses! but how did Gaia pandemonium bar offend big bro? my third brother almost had a stroke upon hearing what happened to his bar, he's now dead set on looking for big bro Shin."

Tristan glanced at Shin but the latter just scoffed.

"You should have seen the drama at the Jie manor! everyone's livid in fury, unfortunately, I forgot to bring some snacks and film the show. How about some celebration tonight with big bro Shin?" Saeki relish the pleasure and fun he had felt.

"Well, you would have to ask the man himself, we're on our way back to the estate."

Hearing the word 'estate' Saeki abruptly recalled the photo that Tristan sent in their group chat, wasn't that taken in their estate pond?

"Oh! who was that woman in the pond with big bro Shin? be honest with me, that picture is edited and that woman is one of yours, right?"

Shin who don't know anything about the picture was quick to discern and fill in the gaps.

His bored expression swiftly turned grim and give Tristan a death glare.

'Who is yours?'

"It seems that I have been neglecting the both of you lately, let's do that celebration tonight at the practice hall and bring as many people as you want, reconstructing your bones is the boss's responsibility after all," Shin uttered in a menacing tone.

"..." Tristan.

"eh? is that you big bro Shin? are you guys at the company?" Saeki felt tense.

Who is tired of living and angered his big bro? he can feel the ominous aura seeping out from his phone.

He could sense something's not right, but what could go wrong?

"Big bros', some of my wounds haven't healed yet, I'm not in the mood for a combat fight."

"I told you, we're on our way back, you're at your villa, right? stay there." Tristan calmly replied he will look him up and beat him himself.

"Alright, and speaking of combat, this General looter will surely break the internet for the upcoming e-sports gaming event of Tartarus! you guys need not worry about anything else." Saeki bragged.

"Ah, I forgot about that," Tristan muttered and turned to Shin. "Do you want to visit Black lithium?"

Black Lithium is a gaming company secretly founded by Shin and Tristan during their teenage years and has now become one of the largest gaming companies in terms of revenue.

Its notable and famed product is the MMORPG Tartarus: Conquerors requiem, which held an annual gaming event in collaboration with Saeki Jie's company, SJ entertainment.

Shin thought for a moment, now that he has a girlfriend, he should properly manage his time and get his priorities straight.

"I have other things to do, you and Saeki can do whatever you want."

"No worries Big bro! let me tell you, I plan to do a live telecast with my game buddies for promotion, recently I partnered with someone or in the game, married a very good ranking player...blah, blah."

Saeki blabbered on and on until Tristan got bored listening and hung up.

Soon after, the car arrived at Shin's Villa, by the time they alighted, he was greeted by a familiar yet unlikely person.

"Father?" Shin asked, puzzled.

What made this hermit leave his mountain and appeared there without notice?

Alister Keir ignored his son and hurriedly peek inside the car.

"Uncle! it's been a while, what made you visit Shin?" Tristan looked startled.

Alister Keir just nodded and tapped his son's arm. "I heard you finally got a woman, where is she? why didn't you introduce her to me?"

"..." Shin's gaze darted to Tristan and Butler Hong, damn blabbermouths!

Meanwhile, Yeri finally got her peace of mind after all of the visitors left but instead of resting or going back to sleep, she opened her laptop that her mother brought earlier.

To everyone she might just be another pretty face and to her family, a pampered princess, but Yeri has a secret and innate skill that she learned from her brother -hacking.

3 years ago, her brother, Colin Zhi, was falsely accused of sexual assault and physical abuse by his girlfriend.

A scandal that almost dragged down the entire Zhi clan, her poor brother has no choice but to flee the country like a fugitive and the Zhi's spent a fortune to minimize the damage.

They're once 2nd-tier upper-class family dropped down to 3rd, and that b*tch who framed and betrayed her brother used that scandal as her stepping stone to the entertainment industry!

Yeri's blood boiled recalling the turn of events, for the past 3 years, she spent most of her time destroying and stealing data related to the case and cyberbullying that b*tch!

However, she recently drove herself to a corner with the new data she gathered, 'Ricci'.

It's a household name, known as the country's largest mine-to-market diamond company.

How are they related to her brother's case?
