Chapter 215 Hope is the Fire

Chu Junyue's eyes flashed, and his whole figure almost merged with the moonlight. His face sank into the shadows, and his eyes, which flashed with heroic spirit, instantly gave people a sense of deterrence as if a storm was about to come.

He locked onto her tightly, as if locking onto prey.

Jiang Zhiyue stood straight against the wall. The man took a step forward and she had no way to retreat.

A soft and quiet little face with a slightly blushing complexion.

The tall figure leaned over again, and the scarlet spot on the man's fingertips became more and more dazzling, along with the unique aura on his body.

Jiang Zhiyue was shrouded in this shadow, and the moonlight outside the window was also blocked.

The view was dark, but she knew Chu Junyue was looking at her, his eyes were narrow and sharp, and full of displeasure.

“Are you talking to me as the Gu family’s maid, or as Xiao Jingrun’s supporter?”

The sense of danger was churning between his lips and teeth, and it was obvious that it had been suppressed to the extreme.

I originally thought she was smart, but she chose to talk about the topic he hated the most.

Jiang Zhiyue's whole body was pressed against the wall in a straight line. She had to tilt her soft and innocent little face up to meet the man's gaze. Her jaw was so tense that the blood vessels in her neck were visible.

Her skin was very white, making the red marks on her neck more obvious.

Chu Junyue's arms are strong and powerful, and his palms are big enough to just cover the girl's small face.

The big palm with distinct joints moved towards Jiang Zhiyue's neck, and the fingertips with slightly calloused skin brushed across the tender skin, causing a slight numbing sensation that caused intense discomfort.

The girl's muscles were tense, and her hands hanging by her sides were clutching the hem of her clothes. Looking closely, her body was trembling.

"Master Chu, you misunderstood." Her voice was very soft and gentle.

Chu Junyue thought that he had never seen her angry, and had never heard her say a harsh word. It was as if she was born without temper. When Mu Liansheng was the most excessive, she just poured a glass of wine on him and said coldly, "I hate you."

Jiang Zhiyue's voice is naturally soft, and this softness feels powerful when you touch it.

She is also a contradictory person.

With no way to retreat, Jiang Zhiyue turned away, and the strand of hair on her shoulder fell down and rested on the man's fingertips. Chu Junyue's icy fingertips lightly touched the red mark on her neck. She took a deep breath and looked up at him.

Chu Junyue couldn't help but lower his voice, "Don't call me in that tone."

Jiang Zhiyue was helpless, she was born with this kind of voice, and often it would give Gu Zhaoye the illusion that she was being soft and acting coquettish.

She knew that those words would most likely anger Chu Junyue and might also make everything she had done previously go to waste.

These young masters are very self-righteous, especially Chu Junyue and Qin Si, who both have their own ideas in mind and hate others teaching them how to do things or touching on sensitive topics.

They are good at grasping the rhythm of everything and always believe that the development of things will not get out of control.

Therefore, Chu Junyue would give up his inheritance rights without hesitation, move out of the Chu family mansion with his family, and stay away from power and disputes.

In Chu Junyue's heart, the safety of his loved ones overrides power, and he can buy peace and tranquility by living in a corner. But in the eyes of everyone in the Chu family, he was born to be the true heir, and everyone lives a life of insecurity every day.

Chu Junyue has experienced countless assassination attempts. It is very difficult to succeed in plotting against him in his current situation. Only by attacking his closest relatives and making him live in confusion for the rest of his life can his will be destroyed.

The New Year has arrived, and the beginning of spring marks the timeline of Chu Junche's death.

Jiang Zhiyue still doesn't know how Chu Junche died or what happened in between. Obviously, if she wants to change Chu Junche's fate, Chu Junche has to make changes himself.

Jiang Zhiyue stood still, her thick eyelashes cast a circle of light dark light on her eyelids, and her fingertips with thin calluses extended from her soft neck to her collarbone, and further down, it was the zipper of her jacket that blocked the man's movements.

Jiang Zhiyue's mind was full of thoughts on how to convince him, and she didn't notice that the scarlet blood on the man's fingertips had gone out at some point. She pressed herself tightly against the wall, and he leaned forward against her.

He lowered his head and she raised her head, and their hot breaths blended together.

Jiang Zhiyue quickly stretched out her hand to push him away, and Chu Junyue said in a deep voice: "Don't teach me how to do things."

"I didn't." Jiang Zhiyue shook her head and denied it. "I was just stating the facts. For more than a month, I stayed in the slums, the old city, and the rich area. A continent was divided into three areas. Gangs collecting protection fees were everywhere on the streets. If you didn't pay, they would set fire to people's houses and smash their shops."

"Money and status are used to distinguish social classes, but the huge wealth of the rich comes from the support of the middle and lower classes. Even the entertainment clubs in the rich areas are engaged in the flesh trade, selling the bodies of the poor."

"Doesn't this conflict with the 'Public Security Law' that Mr. Chu once proposed? Doesn't this conflict with the 'Aristocratic Legislation' that Mr. Chu once proposed? The three states accept criminals, civilians, and aristocrats, isn't it because Mr. Chu has been working hard to eliminate class differences?"

Jiang Zhiyue had the opportunity to read about the history of the three major states in the hotel invested by Sheng Huaian.

The predecessors accepted criminals for the convenience of centralized management. After Chu Junyue's father took over, he was unable to change the status quo, so he has been committed to improving the treatment of civilians. He required the criminals in the prison to study and held centralized classes in the prison.

Chu's father's actions temporarily slowed down the crime rate in the three states, but unfortunately, he suddenly fell ill and died just as many pieces of legislation were introduced.

Chu's father once proposed to eliminate barriers, that is, to educate the general public. This decision was strongly opposed by conservatives. It is undeniable that in the more than ten years when Chu's father took over the three states, public security was stable, crime rates decreased, and even gang forces were greatly curbed.

Although it did not completely change the status quo in the three major states, it brought hope.

Hope is the fire.

Jiang Zhiyue thought that if Chu Junyue got the inheritance rights, it would shake the power of Lin family in the three states, and their marriage would break down. Without the power to expand, Lin family would be liquidated sooner or later.

How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?

The Lin family and the second branch of the Chu family joined forces and dared to take action against Qin Si.

If their conspiracy succeeded, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't imagine how bad this already absurd country would become.

Wealth, resources and technology are all controlled by those demons.

Her situation as a civilian would be even worse.

"This riot was not an accident. The Lin family..." Jiang Zhiyue paused. Chu Junyue was still engaged to Lin Xian'er. It felt like she was putting on some eye drops if she spoke ill of the Lin family in front of a man.

After all, Lin Jun is Chu Junyue's brother-in-law.

"The Lin family is very strange. They value Lin Jun so much, why would they let him appear in the most dangerous place?"
