Chapter 865 Investigation Results
"My dad is still your father-in-law! No matter how good your relationship is with your cousin and his wife, you can't doubt him like this!"
He returned to New York a little earlier than she did, but that's no reason for her to doubt him!
Why is he the first person suspected when Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan got into trouble?
He is the one who shares her bed!
Isn't that right?
Hearing his almost furious tone, Lu Nanchu's voice remained calm: "I only had a reasonable suspicion, and you got this angry? Are you furious because you're worried about your father, or because you feel guilty?"
When the last two words were uttered, Lu Nanchu clearly noticed that his tone had changed.
“What if I said the former? You wouldn’t believe me either, would you?” Xu Chen realized that she had really changed: “Nan Chu, I don’t understand why you trust your cousin and cousin’s wife so much, but I’m the one who’s sleeping next to you, aren’t I?”
“We’re already married, we’re no longer engaged like before, so why do you distrust me so much?”
Despite his past mistakes, they are now married.
Shouldn't all the past issues be wiped clean?
Lu Nanchu said in a deep voice, "I am your bedmate, but not every bedmate is trustworthy."
"Just like you, how much trust did I place in you in the past? And how did you repay me? You only gave me disappointment, so why should I continue to trust you?"
Her trust in him was limited; he had already exhausted too much of her trust in the past, making it impossible for her to trust him anymore.
After repeated disappointments, people either despair or walk away.
“But all of that is in the past!” Xu Chen emphasized again, “We’re already married, what’s the point of bringing it up again? Do you want these things to stand between us forever?”
He can't make up for what's past, so wouldn't it be better to just let it go?
Why does she have to live a noisy and chaotic life every day to be content? What's the point of living like that?
Lu Nanchu didn't want to talk to him about this anymore: "Alright, Xu Chen, let's talk about our things when we get back. What I want to ask now is whether you and your son orchestrated the shooting incident involving my cousin and his wife."
Because if Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan get into trouble, the biggest beneficiaries will be the Xu family father and son.
Xu Yi, in particular, regarded Sang Ruo as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. From the very beginning, he had no respect for Sang Ruo.
He has always been dissatisfied with the fact that the marriage agreement between the Wen family and the Bo family was broken by Bo Jinyan.
Furthermore, given what Bo Jinyan did to Xu Chen after he returned to China, he was even less likely to let them off the hook.
"No." Xu Chen's answer remained the same from beginning to end, never changing: "You can ask me a hundred times, and I will still give the same answer."
He will never change that answer.
My cousin and his wife were shot; they were just unlucky. Why should he be suspected?
Lu Nanchu frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Xu Chen, do you have to be so stubborn?"
All she wants is the truth, is that so difficult?
Or is it...?
Are Xu Yi and Xu Chen in cahoots? So he has an obligation to keep his father's secret?
"Yes, who gave you the right to suspect my father for no reason?" Xu Chen refused to give her the answer she wanted: "If you're so eager to know the answer, go investigate it yourself. Stop bringing up my father here!"
"After all, if you have no evidence, don't make baseless accusations!"
After saying that, Xu Chen angrily hung up the phone.
He thought it was just a misunderstanding, but afterwards he realized he was incredibly naive.
Cousin and Nan Chu had no intention of letting him go.
...
Two days later.
After two days of rest and moving, Sang Ruo has gradually adapted to life in New York.
That morning, while having breakfast with Sang Ruo, Bo Jinyan said, "I have to go to Lu's Bank for a project meeting in a little while. Ruo, I'll be leaving you here alone. Can you protect yourself?"
She had already experienced a shooting in New York, so he really couldn't bear to leave Sang Ruo alone at home.
After all, there are people who want Xiaoruo dead all the time.
This is beyond doubt.
However, he never knew who this person was, or what their relationship was with his uncle and Xu Chen.
"Don't worry, this isn't a villa. It's a high-rise building with strong security. Non-residents can't get in."
Apartments and villas provide different levels of security.
Especially in New York, Sang Ruo discovered that apartments are much safer than villas.
After all, everyone here has a gun, so we really can't afford to be careless.
Hearing her voice, Bo Jinyan was still worried: "That's true, but wasn't the place we lived in before we moved also a villa area that non-owners couldn't enter? The security level was the same."
"Once is never enough; I really can't bear to leave you alone at home."
He always felt that if those people hadn't shot him in the head and Xiao Ruo hadn't died, they would have come after him sooner or later.
Last time, Xiaoruo was clever and managed to escape by chance, but will she be able to have such a good opportunity every time?
He cannot guarantee that.
“But you can’t just tie me to your clothes wherever you go, can you?” Sang Ruo knew his concerns, but right now, his work was the most important thing: “You still have work to do later, don’t you? Don’t forget that we came to the United States for an inspection.”
She never forgot the instructions that Old Master Bo gave them before they left.
Just because you've been shot once doesn't mean you should stop doing anything, right?
That's unrealistic.
Her reminder left Bo Jinyan speechless, and even his brows seemed to carry a trace of worry: "Xiao Ruo, when you are home alone, please be careful. Don't go out unless necessary."
"If there's anything you want to eat or buy, you can call me and I'll buy it for you."
It's better for him to go out than for her to go out alone.
It's really not safe for her to go out alone.
“Okay, I will do that.” Although Sang Ruo was somewhat reluctant, there were some things that did need to be guarded against: “You should finish your breakfast and go quickly.”
Right now, work is the most important thing. Anything else can wait until work is finished.
Bo Jinyan then said nothing and lowered his eyes to eat his breakfast.
After breakfast, Bo Jinyan left the Central Park Apartments by car early.
Lu's Bank headquarters.
When Bo Jinyan arrived, he ran into Lu Nanchu: "Nanchu, have you found out anything about the shooting that day? Who did it?"
Who could be so vicious?
“According to my investigation, it should be Xu Yi, barring any unforeseen circumstances.” Lu Nanchu looked tired, yet with a hint of tension. “I’ve already asked Xu Chen, and he knows nothing about this matter.”
