Liu Wanxia's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Things had developed to this point, and she had completely lost all initiative. But she couldn't lose even her last safeguard; she had to keep Chu Wei to help her!
"You betrayed us as soon as you got into trouble, didn't you? Let me tell you, Liu Wanxia, if they really want any compensation, you'll have to pay me back. I'm not putting up with this anymore!"
Chu Zhong waved his hand and pulled Chu Chaohui to walk out, their movements exuding an imposing aura.
"We can't let them go—" someone shouted.
Before Liu Wanxia was exposed or confessed to anyone, no one thought anything of it. But now, the more people think about it, the more they feel that there is something fishy going on between the three of them.
Both are related to the Chu family through marriage, both exude restlessness, both are very concerned about this matter, and they are always present at every meeting...
Even looking back on everything that happened this afternoon, all three of them seem very suspicious.
Chu Zhong and Chu Chaohui are tall and have long legs; they are already approaching the villa entrance.
"Want to leave? It won't be that easy."
However, Qin Yiheng arrived in the blink of an eye, startling the two of them.
Chu Zhong glared at him, "You dare stop me? What gives you the right?"
Previously, Qin Yiheng fought with the bodyguards, but they were all servants of the Chu family. It was fine if they fought, but would they dare to fight back against him?
Chu Zhong was in his prime, and he exercised regularly. He was also quite skilled at fighting. He was in a hurry to leave, but Qin Yiheng kept blocking his way. Chu Zhong got desperate and raised his hand to slap Qin Yiheng.
Seeing this, Chu Chaohui also kicked out fiercely, trying to join forces with Chu Zhong to attack Qin Yiheng from both sides and drive him away.
Qin Yiheng remained expressionless, without even twitching his eyelashes. He first met Chu Zhong's attack with a palm strike, and with a "crack" sound, he directly used his internal force to fracture Chu Zhong's entire arm bone. Then, he kicked Chu Chaohui back into the living room.
"Ugh..." Chu Zhong held his hands, his face contorted in pain.
Chu Chaohui was seriously injured in the fall, and no one wanted to help him up. He lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
"Damn it! I'm leaving today, no matter what. Let's see what you dare do to me!"
Chu Zhong glanced at Chu Chaohui in a panic, rushing out even though he was willing to abandon this alliance.
"What if I don't let you leave?"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the rooftop, and Chu Linghuang came out of the room without knowing why.
"Grandpa!" Although Chu Wei appeared calm on the surface, his mind was in turmoil, so he couldn't concentrate. Therefore, he was the first to react when the old man came out.
The Chu family members greeted him, and Chu Zhong dared not move again, and was quickly subdued by Qin Yiheng.
Chu Ruoxue stepped forward to help her grandfather: "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
Chu Linghuang didn't speak, but only glanced at Chu Ruoxue.
He walked down the stairs step by step, looking at the bruises from Qin Yiheng's fight with the bodyguard. It was hard to tell what he was thinking from his expression, but the old man was definitely angry. When his eagle eyes swept over someone, that person would feel like they had been seen through.
"After all this commotion, you've finally stopped? Hmm?" He stood in the center of the crowd and asked coldly.
Some people felt they were all implicated and complained, "It's all because of these few people's treacherous ambitions that we misunderstood..."
"Nonsense!"
These words did not elicit sympathy from Chu Linghuang; instead, they made him even angrier: "How could the people of my Chu family have become so unable to distinguish right from wrong, blindly following the crowd!"
In recent years, as the old man's health has deteriorated, he has stopped participating in many things. Because of his reduced involvement, he has gradually faded from public view and seems to have lost his intimidating aura. Therefore, when the Chu family encounters problems, even if they think of the old man, they do not show him the same respect as before.
This time, it felt like we were back ten years ago, when the old man was all the rage.
The main reason is that everyone in the Chu family realized their own foolishness.
They were all surnamed Chu, and their relationships with the family varied, but compared to people like Liu Wanxia, they were considered close to the Chu family. Yet, they were completely fooled by those relatives by marriage, which was more than just a matter of losing face.
So when the old man got angry, no one dared to say a word.
“Grandpa, I have investigated the facts. I believe that everyone present was at fault, but Liu Wanxia, Chu Chaohui, and Chu Zhong deliberately instigated internal strife within the Chu family. Their crimes are unforgivable, and they should bear the primary responsibility and compensate for all losses…”
Chu Ruoxue said these things as if she was asking for the old man's opinion, but there was no hint of discussion in her words. She was simply asking: Is my decision serious enough?
The Chu family members relaxed when they heard this, after all, they were all victims.
But then Chu Ruoxue added, "As for the others, those who blindly follow the crowd and tarnish the Chu family's reputation, and who also stir up trouble, should also be punished..."
Before Chu Ruoxue could finish speaking, everyone objected.
"Ruoxue, this won't do. We were at a loss for what to do because the situation was so critical. We'll be more careful next time."
"Yes, we've already suffered enough losses. If we're to be punished further, then... please, sir, have mercy!"
"We really can't punish them anymore, there won't be a next time..."
Many people harbored even deeper hatred for Liu Wanxia and her two companions, and dared to overstep their bounds and shout for their deaths right in front of the old man.
If it weren't for those few people, we wouldn't be in this situation.
However, after listening for a long time, the old man asked meaningfully, "Are there only the three of them?"
Chu Wei's heart skipped a beat.
His actions could easily fool those present, but even Qin Yiheng and Chu Ruoxue, without evidence, dared not do anything.
But Old Master Chu was different.
In the Chu family, if there is anyone who can execute a person without any reason, it is Chu Linghuang.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ruoxue replied, "For now, it's only the three of them who are indeed related to this incident, and they have all admitted it."
Upon hearing this, Elder Chu nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Did they escape unscathed?
Chu Wei's heart was pounding. If he really escaped this calamity, he would have to be even more careful during this time.
However, he had already run into Qin Yiheng at Luo Jinxiu's place, so Qin Yiheng should have been able to guess that he had connections with the Luo family. Logically, he should have been looking for something to use against him.
Is it that we didn't find it, or that we didn't search enough?
Or perhaps the truth isn't so bad.
This is just a way of proving that everything he did afterwards was flawless, since he had nothing to hide and never plotted against the Chu family.
The Chu family was truly in decline and dared not directly harm him...
While Chu Wei was brainstorming, Chu Linghuang spoke up again: "Ruoxue's handling of the situation was fine, but you overlooked one person."
who?
Isn't everyone here?
