After Parker left, Jing Min's expression became more serious.
Has anything unusual happened at the Chu family recently?
Yan Zhou snapped out of his daze and replied.
"The eldest son transferred the mine in Jiangbei to Mr. Huo, and Old Master Chu did not object."
Jingmin finished dressing, buttoned his shirt, and sneered.
"The gold mining in Jiangbei alone generates tens of billions of yuan annually, which is the main reason for the Chu family's stable financial situation over the years."
"To hand it over to outsiders so easily, aren't you afraid of being swallowed up?"
Yan Zhou was half convinced and half doubtful.
"That can't be! Mr. Huo has been married into the Chu family for many years and has been tested by the old master. The old master Chu is very shrewd! He wouldn't hand over his lifeline!"
Jing Min sneered and looked over.
"Hmph! It's all just for show! The Huo family was ultimately acquired by the Chu family. Do you think Huo Sheng will tolerate the last straw that broke the camel's back?"
Yan Zhou asked doubtfully, "But Aunt Chu and Mr. Huo seem to have a good relationship over the years, and when they appear in public, they always seem like a harmonious and loving couple."
Jing Min paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, a sharp glint appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"The harmony a couple presents in public is just for show; who knows what it's like behind closed doors?"
It might just be a facade of perseverance and humiliation. Back then, this Chu Mingzhu was so domineering and willful that she not only caused the old man to acquire the Huo family,
He even forced him to break up with his girlfriend and had no choice but to marry into the Chu family. No man could tolerate that.
Yan Zhou remained calm; he had already heard these secrets before.
The Jing family was actually involved in the acquisition of the Huo family's assets back then. Later, Mr. Jing was inexplicably involved in a car accident.
The last person Jing saw before his death was Huo Sheng, but Jing was still young at the time and couldn't grasp the deeper meaning, so the car accident case was hastily closed.
Therefore, after President Jing came of age, he began to focus on investigating this matter, which is also why they have been paying attention to Huo Sheng's movements for so many years.
If Mr. Jing's death is related to Huo Sheng, then his next target could very well be the Chu family, the main case filer.
The Jing family is small, so if Huo Sheng really did it, it's hard not to understand his motives. After Old Master Jing passed away, the Jing family never recovered and gradually declined.
The Chu family has a relatively complex population and a stable foundation, so they are indeed not likely to make a move easily. President Jing's analysis makes a lot of sense.
He nodded unconsciously, a silent agreement.
Jing Min straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, speaking casually.
"The old man had been the pillar of stability for half his life, confident that he had the Chu family's son-in-law firmly under his control."
But if they can't resist a few words of coaxing from their love-struck daughter, they'll give up. That would be a recipe for disaster.
After Jing Min finished dressing, Yan Zhou casually picked up the watch that was placed to the side and handed it to him, hesitatingly saying,
"Then, should we...?"
Jingmin took the watch, put it on, and said teasingly
Are you very free?
Yan Zhou choked, then understood and immediately shook his head.
Jing Min had just taken two steps out of the room when he paused, as if remembering something, and gave the order.
"Bring her to see me tomorrow?"
Yan Zhou was in a daze for a moment, and just as he was about to ask who it was, he immediately shut up.
Mr. Jing had already asked his wife and knew that she was at the villa.
When asked this suddenly, he wasn't sure if it was the person he was thinking of.
He carefully confirmed the question.
"Yun Yang?"
Jing Min uttered a single word in a cold tone, "Hmm."
——
Chu Wuyang sat blankly in her room. Three days had passed since she had been forbidden from leaving the villa.
She was now like a bird trapped in an exquisite cage, filled with anxiety and unease.
For the past two days, no one knows whether Jing Min is there or not; no one knows where he is.
Although she didn't want to talk to him
But the people in this villa only listen to him.
I feel like a banished seabird, trapped on a deserted island surrounded by a vast ocean, unable to communicate with the outside world.
She felt lonely and helpless.
She explored every corner of the villa, but was disappointed. The security level was very high, and the security facilities were as tight as an impenetrable fortress.
Even when passing through gardens and corridors, although no one was obviously following, those ghostly gazes felt like thorns in my back.
She dragged her weary body to the window, gazing at the world so close yet unattainable, and felt a deep sense of desolation.
Suddenly, a convoy of black cars drove in orderly at the downstairs entrance. Chu Wuyang's gaze softened.
She stormed downstairs, her face contorted with anger, towards the main building, only to be stopped by layers upon layers of bodyguards who vaguely informed her that an important guest had arrived.
She waited until evening, but still couldn't see Jing Min. She had no idea what Yang Jinchu's situation was. She was extremely anxious, thinking she couldn't just sit and wait for her fate.
The stubbornness and courage in my heart were gradually awakened.
At dinner time, the maids brought the food to the room, set it out, and then left one after another.
Just then, the last maid came in with hot soup. A glint flashed in Chu Wuyang's eyes.
He slightly turned his body, casually raising his hand to grab something, but instead precisely touched the maid, instantly spilling hot soup.
"ah"
Chu Wuyang gasped in surprise, a look of pain on her face as she looked at her hand.
The dazzling diamond watch also developed noticeable cracks from the impact of the hot soup.
Her face instantly darkened, her eyes filled with anger and threat.
"Look what you've done!"
Her voice was cold, sharp, and forceful as she glared fiercely at the maid.
"This watch is very valuable, what do you suggest we do now that it's like this?"
The maid immediately knelt down in a panic, her face pale, her eyes filled with terror, and she dropped the tray she was carrying.
"I'm so sorry, madam, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to."
The voice trembled and choked with sobs.
Chu Wuyang looked away, still relentless, her voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness.
"What, you think you can just let it go with a simple 'it wasn't intentional'?"
She picked up the watch and stroked it, looking utterly heartbroken.
"Do you know how expensive this watch is? Do you know how important it is to me? I couldn't afford to lose it even if I sold you."
Then, her tone became sinister, sending chills down one's spine.
You must pay the price for this!
The maid was stunned and didn't know how to react.
Seeing that his intimidation had been effective enough, Chu Wuyang smiled contentedly.
"Unless you're willing to do one thing for me, I can forgive and forget."
The maid's eyes seemed to have found a glimmer of hope in the darkness of fear.
Chu Wuyang said slowly
"Find a way to get me out of here."
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Agreeing would be tantamount to suicide. She didn't know the man's exact identity, but he was undoubtedly extremely powerful, and his explicit order forbade her from leaving the house.
If she knowingly commits the offense, she'll be finished before the lady of the house even has a chance to hold her accountable for the watch.
She shook her head frantically, crying, her face even more terrified than before.
Chu Wuyang was afraid that if he made too much of a commotion, he might die prematurely.
She pressed her temples as if she had a headache, and considering the emotional breakdown of this person, she could only back down.
"Stop, stop, stop. Find out what's going on outside. I won't go out, okay?"
