Chapter 16: Go to jail for opening your mouth like a lion...
Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen cooked lunch together, a simple two-course meal and a soup, which tasted good. Lu Chiyuan's cooking skills were unexpectedly good, and this was not mentioned in the book or in the character information supplemented by the author.
Jiang Chen felt curious, it turned out that there was a side of Lu Chiyuan that he didn't know.
After lunch, Lu Chiyuan didn't rush over. Jiang Chen volunteered to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. He sat in the living room for a while, and waited until the villa's security personnel called him before he took Jiang Chen over.
Shen Zhiyi's cousin Shen Jun brought a few fellow villagers and sat on the sofa carelessly, holding sticks in their hands and cigarettes in their mouths. They had messy hairstyles, exaggerated gold chains, and pierced ears.
The security guards stood aside and did not interfere with Shen Zhiyi's negotiations with them. If Shen Zhiyi had not been so angry that her face turned red and shedding tears, the security guards would not have notified Lu Chiyuan.
When Shen Jun saw the security guard making a phone call, he stood up, walked over with a steel pipe in his hand, and cursed, "Who are you talking to on the phone? Do you believe I will kill you?"
The security guard ignored him, and Shen Jun felt embarrassed, so he poked someone's muscles with a steel pipe.
The security guard lowered his eyes and raised his hand. In just a blink of an eye, Shen Jun felt a pain in his wrist, and the steel pipe in his hand was in the security guard's hand.
Shen Jun was stunned. He didn't expect to meet the real guy and immediately became scared.
He stepped back quickly, but when he thought about other people watching, he felt ashamed and immediately became angry. He didn't dare to confront the security guard, so he turned around and kicked the coffee table, attacking Shen Zhiyi.
"I told you to call the police and ask them to release my mother. Don't you understand? They just took your necklace. It's not a big deal. She serves you food and clothes every day. You should be sensible and give it to her. Without her, can you lie here comfortably like a rich lady?"
The coffee table was kicked and moved, and the friction between the table legs and the tiles made a harsh sound, which scared Shen Zhiyi.
She looked at Shen Jun in fear. Her cousin had been uneducated since childhood and was good at all kinds of stealing and cheating. He became even more lawless after being released from the police station.
If he dares to bring people to cause trouble, it means he really dares to beat her.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the security guards beside her. These people were left here by Lu Chiyuan to look after her, and they would definitely not sit idly by.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi felt confident: “Am I not good to my aunt? I give her such a high salary every month, and she still steals my things when she leaves. Do you still have reason to come to me?”
If it was some other jewelry, Shen Zhiyi wouldn't care. At most, she could ask Lu Chiyuan to buy it for her again.
But her aunt took away her favorite birthday gift. She wore it on her birthday and didn't know how many people envied her. She still remembered that she walked through the crowd with her head held high and the looks those people gave her.
She felt the charm in a piece of jewelry, and until she found the next replacement, it was its treasure.
Now that her interests have been damaged, she certainly won't just let it go.
"What do you mean by stealing? Explain it to me clearly."
Shen Jun was furious and cursed: "You live in such a nice house, but you only give my mother that little money every month. Do you think you are sending away beggars? I tell you, not only do you have to release my mother, but you also have to compensate us for mental damages. If you fire my mother, you also have to compensate her according to the labor contract. We don't want more, you have to give me 20 million, and give my mother the necklace as well."
Shen Zhiyi widened his eyes and said, “Why don’t you just go and rob it?”
"What do you mean by robbing? You little bastard, what you said is really rude. Your whole family is dead, you are a disaster. If it weren't for our family giving you something to eat, you would have been sold to who knows where by now!"
Shen Jun looked at Shen Zhiyi obscenely, and said maliciously: "I heard that you brought a boy to the girls' dormitory. Are you so slutty? You had sex with others in the dormitory and were expelled from school..."
The color on Shen Zhiyi's face faded, he stood up and slapped Shen Jun in the face, he was shocked and frightened, his whole body was shaking: "You are talking nonsense, there is no such thing."
Shen Jun was stunned by the beating, then his eyes became bloodshot, and he rushed forward angrily to kick Shen Zhiyi.
The security guards on the side quickly took action, protecting Shen Zhiyi while kicking Shen Jun out. Shen Zhiyi shrank back, terrified.
Shen Jun bumped into the sofa behind him and rolled to the ground. The fellow villagers who came with him hurriedly crawled over to see his condition, and two of them directly took out steel pipes.
They shouted loudly, but the security guards couldn't hear them clearly because their voices were mixed with a strong dialect accent.
Shen Zhiyi collapsed on the sofa and cried. Shen Jun fainted for two seconds before sitting up. His face was burning with pain and his stomach was cramping.
He pushed his fellow villager away and continued to shout in defiance, when he suddenly noticed the atmosphere around him turn cold and all the security guards were looking behind him.
Shen Jun turned around and saw two men walking in calmly.
One of them was very polite. He saw them and said, "Are you busy?"
The joking tone is like watching a group of clowns.
The other tall and long-legged man walked up to him in a few steps and glanced down at him condescendingly. His slightly blue eyes flashed with a chill that made his soul tremble.
Shen Jun was instinctively afraid, and his arrogance subsided.
The man was like a calm and cool leopard, extremely dangerous.
Jiang Chen looked around the living room. Because of what Shen Zhiyi had done yesterday, the valuables in the house had been temporarily put away by Uncle Lin. There weren't too many things placed there at the moment, so even if Shen Jun and the others really smashed things, they wouldn't be able to break anything.
Shen Zhiyi saw Lu Chiyuan, with tears on her face, but she couldn't stop feeling proud in her heart. Look, no matter how unhappy Lu Chiyuan was with her, as long as she was in trouble, Lu Chiyuan would still rush over as soon as possible.
As long as he appears, all problems can be solved.
Shen Zhiyi raised her head while crying, and was about to vent her grievances, but Lu Chiyuan looked at her first, and before she could speak, he asked, "Who let them in?"
There are security personnel on duty at every entrance of Mingyue Lake. Residents' cars will be registered, and unfamiliar private cars without records are not allowed to enter.
Shen Jun's car was an old one. Not to mention that the security guards would use the car to arrest him, the dirty car body would make the security guards hesitate.
It is hard to believe that he could drive in unimpeded.
Shen Zhiyi seemed to have thought of something, and the words he was about to complain about were stuck in his throat.
[Who else could it be? Of course it was the heroine herself who let the wolf into the house. She registered Shen Jun’s license plate. ]
Cars registered with the security department will not be strictly checked.
Lu Chiyuan's eyes became sharp, and Shen Zhiyi turned his head away without saying a word.
Lu Chiyuan sat down on the sofa, folded his hands, and looked indifferently at the group of unfamiliar faces dressed in various styles.
Shen Jun got up from the ground, his shoulders drooping and his head lowered. He stood in a shabby manner, looking like a real second-rate guy.
"Are you Lu Chiyuan? You're the one who sent my mom to jail?" Shen Jun made a fierce face and said, "You've got guts. If you can get my mom out, we can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, this arrogance seemed so familiar.
[This guy is really super brave. If it weren't for Shen Zhiyi, he would never have the chance to meet Lu Chiyuan in his life. Where did he get the courage to give Lu Chiyuan a hard time? ]
Lu Chiyuan looked at him with a half-smile: "If you want me to be in trouble, you have to wait until you come out of the police station first."
Shen Jun was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"You broke into the house illegally with weapons, threatened and extorted money. The surveillance camera in the villa captured it all clearly. The Lu family will not reconcile. I wish you good luck."
When they heard that they would go to jail, the people who followed Shen Jun suddenly panicked. They quickly dropped the steel pipes in their hands and distanced themselves from Shen Jun.
"We didn't do anything, we didn't say anything, we just accompanied him to give him courage."
When Shen Jun saw that his fellow villager was disloyal, he angrily cursed: "What a bunch of cowards, why are you afraid of him? This house belongs to Shen Zhiyi, I am her brother, it is only natural for me to come to see her. Don't scare me with words, do you think I was scared?"
"Chen Zhiyi's name is on my Lu family's household registration. Apart from the fact that we both have the surname Chen, what is your relationship?" Lu Chiyuan asked coldly.
Shen Jun and Shen Zhiyi were not biological siblings born of the same parents, so there was already a layer of relationship between them. In addition, after Shen Zhiyi was registered as a resident, this relationship became even more distant.
It was wishful thinking for Shen Jun to use it as a talisman.
At this time, Shen Jun came to his senses. He had come to rescue his mother in the beginning, and then made Shen Zhiyi bleed profusely. Why didn't he rescue her now, but got himself in?
"Why did you call the police?" Shen Jun was panicking, but he still bluffed. "No matter what, Shen Zhiyi has eaten at my house. Can't you talk to her properly? You called the police right away. Have you considered Shen Zhiyi's feelings?"
Lu Chiyuan looked at Shen Zhiyi: "Do you think there is a problem with me calling the police? Or do you want to use money to get rid of them? Twenty million is not much. I can buy a more expensive necklace."
Lu Chiyuan said in a calm tone. In his world, this was indeed a small amount of money.
Shen Zhiyi's breathing tightened, and hesitant expression appeared on his face.
Shen Jun didn't expect the sudden turn of events, and his eyes were full of greed.
“Chen Zhiyi, look, your brother is still the one with the big picture. Give me money and get my mother out, and our Shen family will still have a pair of chopsticks for you in the future.”
When his fellow villagers heard about the large sum of money, they came up to him excitedly and started to smooth things over with one conversation after another.
"Actually, this is all a misunderstanding. The two siblings were just arguing. Shen Jun, you are such a fool. Can't you just give in to your sister?"
"That's right, we are one family. Shen Zhiyi's household registration has been moved out, but she is still a descendant of the Shen family. She is closely connected to the Shen family. She may need help from us villagers in the future."
Jiang Chen: “…”
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
[I can't listen any more. Are you guys confused about the situation? And what's that expression on Shen Zhiyi's face? She's not really going to agree, is she? It's really not her money, she never feels bad about it! ]
【Why did Brother Lu make such a suggestion? 】
Jiang Chen couldn't understand, and the villain in his heart wanted to hit Lu Chiyuan on the head.
Shen Zhiyi sat up straight, and when he looked at Shen Jun again, he didn't look as hateful as before, and said generously: "If you apologize to me, I can consider not bothering with you."
Shen Jun's mind was full of money at the moment, and he didn't care whether his face hurt or not. He smiled and came up to her and said, "Good sister, it's my brother's fault. After all, we are a family. I know you are the best and you must be reluctant to let us suffer. Will you give us the 20 million now? Is it a voluntary gift?"
Shen Zhiyi nodded and bowed to him, and she felt relieved immediately. She looked at Lu Chiyuan, pursed her lips, and said, "Brother, am I too soft-hearted?"
Jiang Chen: [The Shen family is a bottomless pit. Do you think you can fill it up? ]
Lu Chiyuan said, "Since you have made your choice, give them the money and let them go. We can buy whatever necklace you like today."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned: “Didn’t you give them money?”
Lu Chiyuan said: "In this matter, there is only one thing related to me, and that is your birthday present. Other than that, it is your own choice. You think I restrict you too much, and I am letting you go now, are you unhappy?"
Lu Chiyuan made his attitude clear. He proposed to pay, and it was Shen Zhiyi who should pay the money himself, instead of him cleaning up the mess.
Shen Zhiyi felt that something was wrong. It shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't Lu Chiyuan help her at all costs?
Why did he change?
Shen Jun heard that Lu Chiyuan's attitude was not right. Seeing that the 20 million was about to fly away, he changed his previous flattery and glared at Shen Zhiyi, his eyes were about to split: "You are playing tricks on me."
"Who fooled you? I didn't agree to it." When it came to his own interests, Shen Zhiyi reacted very quickly and said, "Go to jail!"
Shen Jun's mood was in heaven one moment and in hell the next. He was so angry that he was about to rush over to hit her. Shen Zhiyi quickly dodged backwards.
The security guard nearby was on guard and subdued him.
Shen Zhiyi was still in shock, but Lu Chiyuan remained calm, watching them turn against each other calmly, and praised them, "Well done, this is the right choice."
Shen Zhiyi looked up and said nothing. She felt flustered. This shouldn't be the case.
Is this really the right choice? She became a bad person and sent her relatives to prison. How would others view her? Would they call her cold-blooded and heartless?
How could Lu Chiyuan force her to make such a choice?
He has already decided to be the bad guy and sent someone to prison, so why should he give others hope and then let her destroy that hope and turn herself into a bad guy as well?
Couldn't he just protect her, keep her clean, and continue to have a kind heart?
