Long Cheng grinned lewdly. He had a wide network of contacts and many underlings. He could easily find out things that others didn't know by asking around. What Officer Li had to investigate and collect evidence to find out, he could learn the truth by having his underlings casually ask around.
"Little Elm, guess who hired Xiang Yanlong?"
Without any hesitation, Chu Yu quickly gave her guess: "It's Zhou Jian'an."
Long Cheng's smile froze. No wonder talking to Zhou Chuyu was so boring. This woman was too smart; nothing could be hidden from her. It took Long Cheng a lot of effort and all his connections to find out the truth about this extremely secretive matter.
Chu Yu can figure it out just by talking?
How did you know?
Chu Yu smiled. "It's very simple. Zhou Jian'an and Zhou Fangchun partnered to establish a mutual aid society and jointly defrauded hundreds of thousands of people. No one knows better than Zhou Jian'an how much money Zhou Fangchun has. All of Zhou Fangchun's money is in Mao Xia's hands. Zhou Jian'an is greedy, and Mao Xia is a walking 37 million. How could Zhou Jian'an not be tempted? He's not satisfied with the 50 million he has. He wants to swindle the money from Mao Xia as well, so he found this guy named Xiang Yanlong to set up the scheme."
Mao Xia is a hopeless romantic. It's not easy for Zhou Jian'an to deceive Mao Xia, but it's easy for him to find a man to date.
Zhou Jian'an knew Mao Xia's character all too well.
Chu Yu felt like laughing for some reason. This man had impressed her even after going to Hong Kong. He was ruthless to his wife and daughter, ruthless to his mother and sister, and now he was turning his ruthless hand on Mao Xia.
They really don't care about any sentiment at all.
"This is pointless, really pointless!" Long Cheng hung up the phone expressionlessly.
"That's why they say women shouldn't be too smart! Smart women are really scary!"
Yu Xiangwen looked up at him. Boss Long was simple-minded and physically strong, with an admirable physique, but unfortunately, he was really brainless when he did things. He had said long ago that Chu Yu could guess who was behind it all, but Long Cheng just didn't believe it and insisted on calling the mainland, asking for humiliation.
"See? I wasn't wrong, was I? Zhou Chuyu is no simple character. You should be glad that you were able to become her partner after kidnapping Zhong Buyi. Otherwise, with your intelligence, if you went against her, you would have been devoured by her sooner or later."
Long Cheng retorted, "I'm the fastest in Daogang City, why would I be afraid of this little wench!"
Yu Xiangwen smiled and loosened his tie, revealing a hint of amusement in his long, deep eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "In this era, it's not about who has the fastest knife, but who has the sharpest brain."
Long Cheng slammed his fist on the table in anger, "What do you mean! What's wrong with your boss's brain?"
Yu Xiangwen pointed at him from head to toe, "Where...is it working?"
"You vixen! You just wait, my blade won't let you get away with this!" Long Cheng roared, and his incredibly sharp scimitar shot out. Yu Xiangwen was already used to his temper and dodged it with practiced ease.
The two chased and dodged, creating quite a scene!
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Chu Yu couldn't resist the urge to visit her second aunt, who was far away in prison. She applied to Luo Kangcheng for permission to visit her.
Luo Kangcheng helped her complete the formalities and then instructed her:
"Hurry up, she shouldn't be visited at this stage."
Chu Yu agreed. Contrary to Mao Xia's expectations of a miserable life, Zhou Fangchun was doing quite well in prison. Over the past year, Zhou Fangchun had become fairer and gained a lot of weight, and her complexion looked even more radiant than before.
Upon seeing Chu Yu, Zhou Fangchun's face was filled with indignation. "Who let you in, you little bitch? I told you long ago I wouldn't see you!"
Chu Yu smiled; the angrier the enemy got, the happier she became.
Chu Yu kept in mind the way Zhou Fangchun had treated Shu Hui and her in the past.
Chu Yu understood people like Zhou Fangchun; they were inherently cold and ruthless, lacking the ability to empathize, and they would never repent for the wrongdoings they had committed.
After Zhou Fangchun went to prison, he never expressed any sympathy or remorse for the people who had been deceived.
She thought they were stupid and greedy, which was why they fell for her trick.
Zhou Fangchun didn't care about going to jail or being executed. Like all mothers in the world, she wanted to sacrifice herself for her child. She only had one daughter, Mao Xia, and she hoped that Mao Xia would live a good life in Gangcheng.
Therefore, Chu Yu was determined to let her know that Mao Xia was not doing well in Gangcheng.
"I'm so sad. My own aunt doesn't want to see me," Chu Yu said with a smile, and as she wished, she saw the twisted anger on Zhou Fangchun's face. She pretended not to know and raised an eyebrow, saying, "It's normal that your aunt doesn't want to see me. After all, our relationship isn't that good. But I was just thinking, you must really want to see Mao Xia, right?"
Zhou Fangchun's distorted mask suddenly shattered.
She looked at Chu Yu in astonishment. "What are you trying to say, you little bitch? Mao Xia is back in China? No, I told Mao Xia not to come back. She's an obedient girl, she won't come back. Could it be that you have news about Mao Xia?"
Chu Yu did not deny it; she admired Zhou Fangchun's broken mother, feeling both sad and pleased from the bottom of her heart.
Such a heartless liar actually fantasizes about perfect paternal love.
How could she let Zhou Fangchun have her way?
"Of course I know about her, but Aunt, are you sure you want to know? Are you sure you won't regret it after you find out?"
Zhou Fangchun wasn't stupid; Chu Yu's words clearly had a hidden meaning. She struggled frantically, trying to run to the front to confront Chu Yu, but the prison guards stopped her.
Zhou Fangchun's face was contorted with rage. "Something happened to Mao Xia? What happened to Mao Xia? Tell me quickly, what happened to Mao Xia!"
Chu Yu enjoys watching her go crazy. Zhou Fangchun is now in her grasp, a caged beast in her hands. She is willing to watch Zhou Fangchun's faith collapse, her heart shatter, and her suffering unbearable pain before she is executed!
