Chapter 92 Drawing Hatred
Without hesitation, Zhou Wu replied, "No, I know him."
She had seen everything Zhu Jin did to Shen Shuangmiao.
Zhu Jin cannot tolerate any injustice.
He loved Shen Shuangmiao so much back then, but after misunderstanding that Shen Shuangmiao and Fu Xuan were having an affair, he neglected Shen Shuangmiao for so long and refused to go home.
Now, Shen Shuangmiao is truly with Zhao Mobai.
That Zhao Mobai is a womanizer and has dated countless girlfriends.
Zhu Jin could not tolerate Shen Shuangmiao being with Zhao Mobai.
He has a strong aversion to emotional impropriety.
As time went by, Shen Shuangmiao, whom he cherished, was no longer the person he so desperately wanted to have.
Zhou Wu smiled confidently, as if he had already seen through the ending.
The driver didn't dare say anything more and focused on driving.
The car arrived at the police station quickly.
As soon as Zhou Wu entered, he ignored Zhu Jin, who was sitting on the bench with his head down, his messy hair covering most of his face.
His shirt was stained with dried, dark blood, the plaster cast on his arm was cracked and loose, and the wound on his forehead had only been treated simply with a piece of gauze on it.
Zhou Wu walked over quickly in her high heels.
A fleeting pang of heartache flashed deep in her eyes: "Zhu Jin! Are you alright?"
When Zhu Jin's men saw her, they immediately came forward and quickly reported in a low voice.
"Ms. Zhou, the matter has been basically resolved. The compensation from the Li family has been agreed upon, and they have agreed to a settlement and will not pursue the matter further."
"We've also taken care of the media, so the news won't leak out. It's just that Mr. Zhu is still in a bad mood and refuses to go to the hospital or speak."
Zhou Wu nodded, indicating that he understood.
She waved her hand to dismiss her subordinates, then walked over to Zhu Jin and sat down in the empty seat next to him.
Zhou Wu didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Zhu Jin.
She never dreamed that Zhu Jin would do something like this for Shen Shuangmiao.
After a long while, Zhou Wu sighed softly, her voice softening: "Ah Jin..."
Zhu Jin seemed not to hear, remaining in that position, motionless, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him.
Zhou Wu reached out, wanting to touch his uninjured hand.
Zhu Jin abruptly pulled his hand back, showing obvious resistance and disgust.
Zhou Wu's hand froze in mid-air, a look of hurt and embarrassment appearing on his face.
She withdrew her hands and placed them on her knees, her fingertips applying slight pressure. She didn't try to get closer to him again, and her eyes quickly reddened.
"Ah Jin, I know you're hurting, but can you even look at how everyone has changed because of you?"
Zhou Wu sniffed, her voice trembling: "Grandpa is so old. He was so angry when he received the phone call that his blood pressure spiked and he almost fainted. The doctor just left and said he can't be subjected to any more stress."
She observed Zhu Jin's reaction.
Zhu Jin's clenched fist stiffened for a moment.
Zhou Wu continued to intensify her efforts: "Me too, my parents called me back today and gave me a severe scolding."
“They say I’m being unreasonable. I know you like Shen Shuangmiao, but I still insist on following your nonsense and making both families lose face. Now everyone is laughing at my family.”
Tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling with sobs: "Ah Jin, even if you don't care about me, and you don't care about what others think, can you at least stop hurting yourself like this? Seeing you like this makes us all feel terrible."
Zhu Jin finally reacted.
He slowly raised his head.
"How is Master?"
Zhou Wu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It's good that they're willing to talk.
The fact that he cares about his grandfather shows that he hasn't completely lost his mind.
She quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
"The doctor said that things have stabilized for now, but I must rest and not get angry anymore."
She looked at Zhu Jin, her voice pleading cautiously, "Jin, let's go back and see Grandpa first, okay? He's very worried about you."
Zhu Jin remained silent for a moment, then used his uninjured hand to support his knee and stood up somewhat unsteadily.
He didn't look at Zhou Wu, but silently walked out of the police station.
Zhou Wu watched his retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, before quickly following after him.
Back at the Zhu family's old residence, the atmosphere remained somber.
Old Master Zhu leaned back on the living room sofa, eyes closed, his face ashen.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Zhu Jin's disheveled appearance, a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes, followed by some anger.
He didn't directly reprimand Zhu Jin, but stared intently at him: "You're back?"
Zhu Jin stood in the living room, his lips tightly pressed together, exuding a dejected and resentful aura.
Look at yourself!
The old man couldn't hold back any longer. "For a woman who doesn't care about you at all, you've made yourself into this mess, gone to a bar to drown your sorrows, got into a fight, and even ended up at the police station!"
"Zhu Jin! You've completely disgraced the Zhu family!"
Zhu Jin remained expressionless: "So what? Have you suffered any losses? How much money did you lose? I'll compensate you tenfold."
Zhou Wu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Grandpa, please don't be angry. Ah Jin knows he was wrong. He was just thinking too much for a moment..."
"take things too hard?"
The old man sneered, "I think he's bewitched! He still can't see reality!"
He took a deep breath and stared intently at Zhu Jin. "Do you think Shen Shuangmiao simply left you to marry Zhao Mobai? Have you ever wondered why it had to be Zhao Mobai, and not someone else?"
Zhu Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man, a flicker of emotion finally appearing in his eyes.
The old man looked at him and said, word by word, "I have received definite information that Zhao Mobai has recently been secretly mobilizing a large amount of funds and joining forces with several companies that have never been on good terms with us."
"Their target is very clear: the core technology sector under our Zhu family. How could Shen Shuangmiao, who is so close to him, not know about this?"
Zhu Jin frowned: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
“Chen Shuangmiao’s departure from you is not as simple as it seems. You neglected and suppressed her before, and now she completely regards you as an enemy. Otherwise, she would not have gotten engaged to someone who wants to destroy the Zhu family.”
The old man paused, looking at Zhu Jin's suddenly changed expression, his tone icy.
"Zhao Mobai has not only stolen your woman, but he's also taking advantage of your misfortune to steal the foundation of our Zhu family!"
"You want to obtain Shen Shuangmiao?"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the old man's eyes. "Alright, then let's show him what we're capable of first. Let Zhao Mobai pay the price! Make him obedient and spit out everything and everyone he shouldn't have touched!"
"Now you don't even have the ability to protect your own assets or the Zhu family. What do you have to compete with Zhao Mobai? What do you have to take Shen Shuangmiao back?"
"With your injuries? Or with your pathetic state? Shen Shuangmiao will never obediently follow you, understand?"
Zhu Jin clenched his fists tightly, without saying a word.
During this time, he kept thinking about Shen Shuangmiao and was troubled by love, so he left his business affairs to his subordinates.
It hasn't been long, and Zhao Mobai has already started targeting the Zhu family.
It seems they're trying to take advantage of the situation to seize the Zhu family's assets.
