Chapter 80 Ru Fang's Tragedy (Final) Li Yang's Career - Sales...

When Chen Junbo heard about the incident in Liyang, he was at the dock watching the newly arrived salt ships. Upon hearing Bi Fang's report, he felt his heart skip a beat.

On the way back to the mansion, he felt for the first time that the Chen residence was too big. By the time he reached the seventh courtyard, his collar was soaked with sweat.

At this moment, he sat before the sickbed, gazing at the pale face of the person on the bed, a few strands of hair clinging to their cheeks.

Zhao Zhao had no grudges against anyone, so who could possibly want to kill her? Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.

"It hurts...drink water..." A series of intermittent, light panting sounds came from behind. Chen Junbo listened carefully, then picked up the water bowl by the bedside and used a cotton cloth to wipe her mouth with water.

The person on the bed slowly woke up, their eyes wet, and pursed their lips, "Chen Junbo, it hurts so much."

Her voice caused Chen Junbo's chest to tremble slightly, and he smiled with tears welling up in his eyes.

It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Heaven knows, "Zhao Zhao, you scared me half to death."

The doctor had already written down the prescription and stood outside the embroidered screen, softly calling out, "General Manager Chen."

Chen Junbo gently patted Li Yang's shoulder, got up and went out of the room. He took the prescription and examined it carefully. Seeing that it contained many herbs that promote tissue regeneration and replenish qi and blood, he asked, "Doctor, how is Madam's injury?"

“Mr. Chen,” the doctor bowed, “the young mistress’s injury is to her buttocks, but it’s nothing serious. She just needs to rest in bed for a few days.”

On the couch behind the screen, Li Yang listened to the doctor's words, and her ears suddenly burned. What kind of person was this, injuring someone in this very spot, where she couldn't move and couldn't even change her dressing herself... she had to show her buttocks to everyone every day.

Upon hearing this, Chen Junbo felt relieved. Since that place wasn't connected to the internal organs, it should be fine... But upon further reflection, he found it somewhat amusing. He pursed his lips and then instructed someone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription.

After seeing the doctor off, Chen Junbo went into the inner room. "Are you alright?"

Li Yang lay face down on the bed, turning his head inward, and pulled the blanket up to his shoulders to wrap himself up tightly. A moment later, he turned his head back, frowning and groaning, "It hurts so much!"

Looking at her energetic appearance, Chen Junbo was both annoyed and amused. Did this girl even know that she almost lost her life?

"Lie down and stop fooling around." He was quite frightened just now, and his tone wasn't very nice when he spoke. Although he spoke fiercely, he gently pulled her hand back under the covers and pulled the covers up to wrap her up.

Li Yang blinked. "Chen Junbo, I'm fine."

He simply hummed in response.

"I'm really fine. When I was stabbed in the flower room, I was scared. I was thinking that I hadn't lived enough yet, and now I was going to die."

Hearing her keep using the word 'death,' Chen Junbo lightly tapped her waist, saying, "Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

To everyone's surprise, she was full of enthusiasm. "I'm about to get rich, how can I die?" With a pale face and her eyes sparkling, she said, "Do you know that Madam Zhang came to me today to sell the Kuilong Pearl to the capital?"

Getting excited, he tried to sit up by bracing himself with his hands, but when he leaned back to his injured area, he couldn't help but gasp, "It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, hoo hoo."

Chen Junbo quickly brushed the wet hair from her forehead and gently asked, "What's wrong? Does your wound hurt?"

"It hurts so much!" Tears and snot streamed down Li Yang's face as he buried his head in the pillow and rubbed his face. He then angrily cursed, "Who the hell tried to hurt me? If I catch them, I'll beat them until they're covered in bumps!"

These words completely reassured Chen Junbo. As long as she still had the energy to curse, there was nothing wrong. He coaxed her with "hmm" sounds and gently patted her shoulder through the quilt. "Close your eyes and sleep for a while. Get well before you go back to fighting."

"Hmph, he'll get what's coming to him once I'm healed!" Li Yang muttered to himself, resting his chin on the pillow. "Do you even know who that person is? I don't even know him. Why did he try to stab me..." He eventually fell asleep, muttering to himself.

Seeing this, Chen Junbo lowered the curtain and quietly went out of the room. He led Bi Fang, who was waiting outside the door, into the study before asking him questions.

"Young Master, it was Liu Rufang who stabbed the Young Madam."

Upon hearing this, Chen Junbo froze in his tapping motion on the table. As his index finger slowly fell, he raised his eyes, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Bi Fang. "Liu Rufang!"

Bi Fang carefully sorted out the information sent by the county government and reported it to Chen Junbo in detail. "It seems that Liu Rufang has gone mad. He even accused the madam, saying that the madam forced him to a dead end."

“Mother.” Chen Junbai’s voice was as cold as ice.

As he sat by Li Yang's sickbed, he was still trying to comfort himself, saying that his mother was just a little eccentric and wouldn't get involved in a murder case because of these things.

But the facts are clear: his good mother, with her actions, caused more than one death.

"Send a message to Magistrate Wang that we'll go to the county jail tonight and meet this Boss Liu." He held onto a sliver of hope, believing that Liu Rufang had framed him.

Bi Fang nodded reluctantly. He knew he was doomed when he learned that the culprit was Liu Rufang. Others might not know about Liu Rufang's affairs, but he worked for Chen Junbai every day.

If the county government's statement hadn't been so clear, he would never have imagined that his wife would be so audacious.

-

The two men, dressed in black, made their way into the county jail.

Chen Junbai looked at the person hanging on the stone pillar, who had no life left, barely clinging to life, barely a breath more than a dead man, and said, "Boss Liu."

Hearing this, Liu Rufang opened her eyes and glanced at him. "Hehe, Young Master Chen, are you here to see me off?"

Chen Junbo's voice betrayed a hint of anxiety, "Boss Liu, my Chen family has treated you well, why are you slandering my mother?"

"Slander?" Liu Rufang let out a strange laugh, her hoarse voice revealing a hint of contempt. "I slander Madam Chen? General Manager Chen probably thinks too highly of me. I've never heard him call me Boss Liu before. He always treats me like an ant in a ditch. Why are you suddenly being so polite today?"

“Zhang Lingshuang, I have never slandered her. She is a demon who eats people without spitting out the bones, a bastard from hell.”

Chen Junbo hesitated to speak after hearing him insult his mother like that.

"She's a complete bastard. If she hadn't been born into a wealthy family like the Chen family, she would have been drowned in a pig cage. Why? What makes her so special? Tell me, what makes her so special? She's just lucky. Why can't I have that same good fortune? It's not fair!"

Chen Junbo couldn't stand his nonsense and angrily rebuked him, "You're incorrigible!"

"Hehehehehe." After a burst of sneer, Liu Rufang twisted her neck, trying her best to look Chen Junbo in the eye. "Mr. Chen, you want me to repent, but may I ask you, Mr. Chen, what did I do wrong?"

My life has been filled with hardship; I was born against my will, and I died against my will. Only my love remains, like a mirage, but is this my fault? Is it wrong to love someone?

It was him, he lied to me! He lied to me... Why? Why did he lie to me, but wouldn't lie to me forever...?

Clearly, things will get better soon... Why?

You say I'm unrepentant? Yes, I am unrepentant! Because I did nothing wrong!

Liu Rufang's eyes glowed with a bright red light, like fireflies on a grave. "I only served your mother. Shouldn't she spend some money on me?"

Zhang Lingshuang is so rich, what's wrong with giving me a little? Why, why is she forcing me! She's rich and heartless, isn't she a cannibalistic monster? What did I say wrong?!

Chen Junbo knew he couldn't argue with him about the truth of the matter, so he said, "What about my wife? My wife has done nothing to provoke you, so why did you hurt her?"

"Mrs. Chen?" Liu Rufang suddenly frowned, as if struggling to recall. "Oh, that little girl... She didn't have any enmity with me. Let me think, let me think, why did I kill her..."

As he spoke, he let out a chilling laugh, "But it was your mother who insisted that I kill her. Mr. Chen, I only listened to your mother and killed your wife. How can this be my fault? It's your mother's fault, hahahahahaha."

"Nonsense!" Chen Junbo stood up angrily. "Why would we kill my wife?"

"Your mother, hehe, don't you know about your mother's affairs?" Liu Rufang's eyes shifted, then softened, as if she felt sympathy for the person in front of her. "Oh, right, your mother never treated you as her son, but only as a servant in the house. Of course you don't know that."

"Shut up!" Bi Fang couldn't help but curse.

"I'm going to say it anyway!" Liu Rufang said indignantly. "What, you don't dare to listen? When has your mother ever treated you like her own son? Speaking of which, Mr. Chen is just like me, a wanderer in this world, unloved by his father and mother, drifting alone like a piece of duckweed."

Blame it on your inability to control your wife! If it weren't for her meddling, Brother Long would still be the warehouse manager, and he wouldn't have taken such a risk. I wouldn't be a prisoner! Who asked her to meddle! Your Chen family has devoured me, and now you want to discard me like trash? Don't even think about it! Chen Junbo, don't even think about it!"

Chen Junbo couldn't listen any longer and pressed for details, "You said, my mother personally ordered you to assassinate my wife?"

"Your mother? When did Zhang Lingshuang get involved in such filthy things? Doesn't she have a nanny? That old woman is no good either. She gave me the knife herself, and she's the one who brought me to the brothel in the East Market. Otherwise, I wouldn't even recognize which one is your wife. Hehehehe, Chen Junbai, you're so pitiful. Your whole family eats your food and drinks your wine, and they still want to kill your wife. Hehehehe, I thought I was the most pitiful person in the world..."

Chen Junbo had no intention of listening to his nonsense any longer and turned to leave the cell.

The jailer approached for instructions, and Bi Fang took out a purse and stuffed it into the old man's hand. Chen Junbai said, "This man is doomed to die. I'll trouble you, sir, to let him have a few more good days."

He didn't understand why he had suddenly become soft-hearted, when he had clearly been thinking of strangling Liu Rufang with his own hands when he entered the cell.

Just an hour later, his state of mind was completely different.

"Chen Junbo! Chen Junbo! I don't want your charity. Who do you think you are, daring to laugh at me? I don't care..."

The sound behind them gradually faded away, and Chen Junbo remained silent, his aura as cold and frosty as ice.

Bi Fang followed behind: "Young Master..."

"Back to the Chen residence." Chen Junbo said this and got into the carriage by himself, not even noticing that Bi Fang was reaching out to help him.
