Chapter 159: Could The Person Before Him Be the One He Liked?

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen and was deep in thought, not understanding why he would suddenly ask about 518.

It was unlikely that she knew Chu Cichen while she was 518.

She didn’t understand. After giving it some thought, she said, “I do. Why? Is the matter you want to investigate related to her?”

...

As expected, Shen Ruojing knew 518…

Chu Cichen’s gaze sank and he clenched his fists, suddenly feeling a little nervous for some reason.

Back then, he had anonymously joined that organization and got to know 518. He then fell in love with her. However, his subordinates didn’t join the organization together with him.

Only Fang Panxia had been with him on the day 518 died in the explosion and thus had a chance to see what she looked like.

Therefore, even when he was missing 518, he was by himself and lonely.

Only God knew that he almost went crazy from missing her.

Chu Cichen stared at Shen Ruojing, wanting to say something but didn’t know how to. There was even a moment when an atrocious thought appeared in his mind.

Could this person before him be the person he liked?

However, this thought only flashed in his mind for a moment before he denied it.

He had seen 518 dying in front of his eyes. There had even been a large amount of blood detected at the scene thereafter. How could 518 still be alive?

Chu Cichen was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

He then picked it up. The person on the other end of the call said something, and Chu Cichen’s countenance instantly became solemn. “I got it.”

After hanging up the call, he looked toward Shen Ruojing. “Chu Cimo is apprehended.”

“Why?” Shen Ruojing frowned, feeling perplexed. “Wasn’t he already put on bail?”

Chu Cichen said, “This matter blew up on the Internet and caught the attention of the people from the capital. They especially sent an investigation team to handle this case. Unfortunately, the leader of the investigation team is a strict and impartial person. He said that the bail that was approved previously is against the rules and thus took him away again. Moreover, they said that the evidence available now is enough to prove that he is the murderer.”

Shen Ruojing was a little surprised. “From the capital?”

Chu Cichen nodded.

The two of them changed the topic, no longer mentioning about 518.

Shen Ruojing took out her phone and opened up the video that Dugu Xiao had given her. “Let’s look for more evidence.”

Lu Cheng, who was in the driver’s seat, said solemnly, “Chu Cimo can’t have killed someone. Dugu Xiao must have sent someone to kill Yan Zihao to put the blame on Chu Cimo. However, would Dugu Xiao really hand over the evidence to us so easily?”

Dugu Xiao wouldn’t have given them the video if Shen Ruojing hadn’t treated Dugu Xiao in the capacity of the divine doctor.

However, it was also very strange for him to have handed the evidence over so easily.

Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a glance then turned to watch the clip in unison.

Chu Cimo had first gone to beat Yan Zihao up and then fled by jumping out of the window.

Although the curtains in the room were drawn, it could be seen that Yan Zihao was still moving. At this point, he was still alive. However, he was covered in injuries and was unable to budge. Therefore, he could only lie on the floor.

He would raise his arm occasionally, seemingly wanting to pull on something so that the people outside could come in to save him.

He continued this action for a very long time.

Shen Ruojing decided to play the video at 16 times the original pace.

The way she was able to operate the phone with such familiarity caused Chu Cichen to narrow his eyes and take another look at him. However, he didn’t think too much about it and just watched the video with Shen Ruojing.

About two hours later.

Yan Zihao suddenly started convulsing, as if he wasn’t in too good of a state. Then, his body suddenly straightened out and he died.

“…”

“…”

Both Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen frowned.

This was too unlucky.

Both of them thought of this at the same time.

The flow of this video was very smooth, with no signs of it having been tampered with. This was clearly the original video, and after Yan Zihao’s death, the hands of the person filming even trembled from surprise.

From the time of Chu Cimo’s departure until Yan Zihao’s death, no one entered the study at all!

It was no wonder that Dugu Xiao would hand over the video evidence so easily. He even said “The results might not be what you hope to see.” before she left.

Turned out that the real video would only prove that Chu Cimo had beaten up someone and caused the person to die!

It was unable to resolve the current crisis.

Noticing that the two people behind had fallen silent, Lu Cheng, who was driving and didn’t get to watch the video, didn’t understand. He asked, “What is it? Did Dugu Xiao not give the real video?”

“He did.” Chu Cichen rubbed his temple. “But in the latter part, no one had entered the deceased’s study.”

“What? How is that possible?!” Lu Cheng couldn’t understand this. “Did Chu Cimo really cause his death? But Chu Cimo isn’t that ruthless… I understand now. Is it because Yan Zihao was sick to begin with, which led to him being beaten to death?”

This was the only explanation now.

Therefore, both Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen felt that Chu Cimo was too unlucky.

Regardless of what the reason was, Chu Cimo had picked the wrong timing.

As the group was in thought, they returned to the Chu Manor.

Chu Cimo’s lawyer was already waiting at home. Moreover, Matriarch Chu was pacing around anxiously, and there was an uninvited guest on the sofa. It was Chu Ciyuan.

However, this time around, he didn’t come alone. Seated next to him was a young woman who was holding his arm and leaning close to him. Her relationship with Chu Ciyuan was clearly not normal.

Chu Ciyuan sneered. “Dugu Xiao has posted the entire clip online, and it’s very clear that Chu Cimo had beaten up a person to his death. According to Ding Miao, we should let the lawyer defend that this was an unintentional mistake.”

Ding Miao, who was next to him, added, “Aunty, you guys should go plead with the victim’s mother and obtain her understanding. I believe that with the Chu Family’s influence, she’d agree if you were to give her more money. If this really doesn’t work, then get her daughter-in-law to kneel and beg them. With a plea of forgiveness, he would be given a lighter sentence.”

“Shut up!” Matriarch Chu scolded angrily.

Chu Ciyuan wanted to say more when Ding Miao sighed, tugging his arm. “Ciyuan, don’t say anymore. Aunty has been looking down on me since we were still in school… So how could she consider using my method? We are too meddlesome.”

Chu Cimo said angrily, “Ding Miao is a lawyer now and has obtained a practicing certificate. She said these things for Chu Cimo’s sake, so why can’t you try to listen to her advice?”

Matriarch Chu stared at him. “My son didn’t kill anyone. Moreover, if Chu Cimo were here, he wouldn’t let Bai Shanshan go plead to the Yan Family for their forgiveness! Chu Ciyuan, this woman betrayed you before back in high school. Don’t tell me that the two of you are together now!”

Ding Miao put on an aggrieved look.

Chu Ciyuan instantly wrapped his arm around Ding Miao’s waist. “Yes, when we were in high school, you went to look for Ding Miao and gave her a sum of money to leave me. The reason she accepted the money was because she was left with no choice. But now, I’ve grown up and you can no longer control my life. I am with her now.”

Ding Miao tugged his arm.

Chu Ciyuan said angrily, “She put aside past differences and came to help. How can you treat her like this?”

The moment he finished saying this, an icy cold voice rang out from the door. “Help? It seems more likely to me that she’s here to get revenge!”
