Chapter 225: Extreme Cold. Old Chu's Experience
Chu An felt that there was something wrong with the woman's words. It was obvious that someone had been here before her. He couldn't imagine who would care so much about Lao Chu's safety.
Friend? An old lover?
She became more and more curious about the situation inside, and then she changed her mind and thought, if they were just being honest, why would they do this?
"I've said everything I can. If you don't open the door, don't blame me for forcing my way in."
Even if she got false news, it was better than nothing. At worst, she could take them on the road with her. She was not afraid of trouble.
"You...you are simply robbers." Han Qi finally spoke, followed by a series of coughs.
It seems that if I want to verify it, I have to go in.
Chu An easily opened the door with a paper clip. There were two bedrooms and a living room inside. Most of the space was occupied by miscellaneous items. There was only a double sofa in the living room, and Han Qi was sitting on it to relax.
The young nurse came out of the kitchen carrying water. When she saw them, she was so scared that she screamed, slipped and fell. Han Qi wanted to help her, but she started coughing again.
Cough cough cough......
The young nurse got up from the ground, pulled out a machete from the sundries, and trembled as she turned to Chu An and the others, "You guys get out, get out."
Big Nose laughed and said, "Little girl, that's not how you use a machete."
The young nurse became even more frightened and screamed, "Help! Someone is killing me! Help!"
Monkey Brother kicked him and said, "Your smile is so ugly, stop laughing and get out."
Big Nose scratched his head, he was not unhappy, being taught a lesson by Monkey King was commonplace, but Monkey King never really disliked them. He hurried out with Sprinter, followed closely by Zhang Chong.
"Auntie, you guys ask, I'll go wait at the door too." Monkey said as he walked out, "I won't close the door, just call me if you need anything."
Chu An nodded, and after they all left, he stared at the nurse, "Are you going to continue like this?"
The young nurse didn't dare to put down the machete and looked back at Han Qi. Han Qi nodded, then he retreated to the edge of the sofa and pointed the blade downward.
Chu An didn't hesitate and took out the watch from his pocket, "I want to know the origin of this watch. Logically speaking, you don't need to keep a watch that is not worth much and has defects."
Han Qi's pupils dilated instantly, and then he looked at Chu An carefully, "Are you Chu Tian's daughter?"
"yes."
"I thought it was Si...that Wang family member who came to ask me for money." Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't owe them wages on purpose. I really didn't have enough money at the time, so I could only take care of myself first."
Chu An narrowed his eyes, obviously changing what he was going to say, and it was not appropriate to reveal it now, "These things have nothing to do with me, I just want to know where Chu Tian is?"
Han Qi sighed and continued, "The last time I met him was at a banquet at Situ's house. At that time, he was Situ Hanxin's boyfriend..."
Chu An listened for half an hour, but only a few minutes of useful information were obtained.
Han Qi is the younger brother of the chief steward of the Situ family in Hai City. Whenever the Situ family holds a family banquet, the chief steward will ask him to purchase the goods, and the two of them can make a lot of benefits from it.
He was the Lao Chu whom he met at a family dinner. Since Lin City and C City were very close, Lao Chu was very kind to him, and they became friends after a few visits.
But Situ Han had a strong desire for control and did not allow Lao Chu to contact any outsiders, including him.
"I remember very clearly that at the last family dinner before the natural disaster, Mr. Chu suddenly found me and asked me to go to City C to pick you up.
He was afraid that you would not follow me, so he gave me the watch. Unfortunately, after I came back, some problems occurred in my business and I was too busy to take care of myself, so I thought about looking for you later.
I didn’t expect that my watch would be lost, and natural disasters would come one after another. I am still barely surviving today.”
"Do you have any news about the Situ family now?"
"My brother came to see me a few days ago. He said that after the natural disaster, the Situ family dismissed many people and moved away from Hai City."
"Where did you go?"
"He doesn't know either, but the Situ family is a big family with people in the military and politics. They won't be like us, living from hand to mouth. Although Situ Hanxin is extreme, he really likes your father. He always buys him all kinds of luxury goods and doesn't treat him harshly."
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the Situ family is as powerful as Han Qi said, Old Chu would not have to starve. This also explains why he didn't come back to find me in the last life. He was trapped by true love.
"Where does your eldest brother live? I want to know more about the Situ family."
Han Qi's eyes flashed, revealing a painful expression, "He...he died trying to save me."
The nurse next to him sighed, "He died while trying to find medicine for Brother Han."
"That's all I know."
Chu An sneered, took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Han Qi's forehead, "The housekeeper of the Situ family is not your brother. Old Chu gave you a watch and a sum of money. Someone came to see you before me, right?"
Han Qi raised his hands in horror and shook his head instinctively, "I didn't... tell... a lie,"
The young nurse came up to grab her, but was easily controlled by Gu Ye.
"I am not a patient person. I have done my best to listen to your half-true story."
As he spoke, he pulled the trigger down...
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." Han Qi was so scared that he slid off the sofa. The little nurse bit Gu Ye, broke free, pounced on Han Qi, and glared at both of them.
Silly woman, Gu Ye didn’t use much force, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to break free even if she bit more.
Chu An frowned and took out red medicine from his pocket, "Disinfect."
Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, then took it and gave Han Qi and the young nurse a provocative look.
"Go ahead and speak. I'll give you three minutes." Chu An did not put down the gun.
"It's like this...Mr. Chu gave me 200,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan is my reward. He asked me to give the rest to you and then send you to the Guo family in Lian City. The watch was really given to me by him."
"Why didn't he come back on his own?"
"Situ Han was pregnant... and the two of them had a fight, causing her miscarriage."
Chu An clenched her gun tightly. She had never thought about having a younger brother or sister. "Go on."
"Butler Wang is definitely not my brother. We are from the same hometown and we just joined forces to earn some money for the Situ family. After Butler Wang was sent back, I don't know how he found out that I was working for Mr. Chu and asked me for money. I didn't have any and I couldn't give it to him, so he wouldn't give in."
"So you killed him?"
The young nurse suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "He deserves to die."
"Not only did he ask for money, he also stayed at my house and refused to leave. Later, he made advances towards Xiaolan, so I... Hey, I didn't kill him intentionally.
I didn't mean to take Mr. Chu's money. It was just that there was a problem with the business, and I thought I'd return it to you once I could make ends meet."
"You don't need to explain these to me. Is there anything else?"
"That's all. That's all. I swear."
"Write down the address where Butler Wang lives."
Han Qi couldn't move, so the young nurse wrote down an address for him, which was not far from here.
When Chu An left, he did not give Liu the promised compensation, and just considered it as paying off a debt of 100,000 yuan.
She asked Brother Monkey to take his men back, and she and Gu Ye went to see Butler Wang.
An inconspicuous, dilapidated residential building, the door was wide open, the room was in a mess, and it was obvious that it had been ransacked countless times.
She found the suit, which was almost in tatters, in the garbage dump. She turned over the lining and saw a crooked word "Chu" embroidered inside.
This was sewn for Lao Chu when she was a child, learning how to embroider the empress in the TV series. It seemed that Lao Chu had asked Han Qi to find her, and this was another token.
This would explain why Butler Wang went to find Han Qi. He had gained benefits and guessed that Han Qi had also gained benefits, and used this as a threat.
