Chapter 159

Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen and was deep in thought, not understanding why he wouldsuddenly ask about 518.

It was unlikely that she knew Chu Cichen while she was 518.

She didn’t understand. After giving it some thought, she said, “I do. Why? Is the matter you want toinvestigate related to her?”

As expected, Shen Ruojing knew 518…

Chu Cichen’s gaze sank and he clenched his fists, suddenly feeling a little nervous for some reason.

Back then, he had anonymously joined that organization and got to know 518. He then fell in love withher. However, his subordinates didn’t join the organization together with him.

1

Only Fang Panxia had been with him on the day 518 died in the explosion and thus had a chance tosee what she looked like.

Therefore, even when he was missing 518, he was by himself and lonely.

Only God knew that he almost went crazy from missing her.

Chu Cichen stared at Shen Ruojing, wanting to say something but didn’t know how to. There was evena moment when an atrocious thought appeared in his mind.

Could this person before him be the person he liked?

3

However, this thought only flashed in his mind for a moment before he denied it.

3

He had seen 518 dying in front of his eyes. There had even been a large amount of blood detected atthe scene thereafter. How could 518 still be alive?

Chu Cichen was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

He then picked it up. The person on the other end of the call said something, and Chu Cichen’scountenance instantly became solemn. “I got it.”

After hanging up the call, he looked toward Shen Ruojing. “Chu Cimo is apprehended.”

“Why?” Shen Ruojing frowned, feeling perplexed. “Wasn’t he already put on bail?”

Chu Cichen said, “This matter blew up on the Internet and caught the attention of the people from thecapital. They especially sent an investigation team to handle this case. Unfortunately, the leader of theinvestigation team is a strict and impartial person. He said that the bail that was approved previously isagainst the rules and thus took him away again. Moreover, they said that the evidence available now isenough to prove that he is the murderer.”

Shen Ruojing was a little surprised. “From the capital?”

Chu Cichen nodded.

The two of them changed the topic, no longer mentioning about 518.

Shen Ruojing took out her phone and opened up the video that Dugu Xiao had given her. “Let’s look formore evidence.”

Lu Cheng, who was in the driver’s seat, said solemnly, “Chu Cimo can’t have killed someone. DuguXiao must have sent someone to kill Yan Zihao to put the blame on Chu Cimo. However, would DuguXiao really hand over the evidence to us so easily?”

Dugu Xiao wouldn’t have given them the video if Shen Ruojing hadn’t treated Dugu Xiao in the capacityof the divine doctor.

However, it was also very strange for him to have handed the evidence over so easily.

Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a glance then turned to watch the clip in unison.

Chu Cimo had first gone to beat Yan Zihao up and then fled by jumping out of the window.

Although the curtains in the room were drawn, it could be seen that Yan Zihao was still moving. At thispoint, he was still alive. However, he was covered in injuries and was unable to budge. Therefore, hecould only lie on the floor.

He would raise his arm occasionally, seemingly wanting to pull on something so that the people outsidecould come in to save him.

He continued this action for a very long time.

Shen Ruojing decided to play the video at 16 times the original pace.

The way she was able to operate the phone with such familiarity caused Chu Cichen to narrow hiseyes and take another look at him. However, he didn’t think too much about it and just watched thevideo with Shen Ruojing.

About two hours later.

Yan Zihao suddenly started convulsing, as if he wasn’t in too good of a state. Then, his body suddenlystraightened out and he died.

“…”

“…”

Both Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen frowned.

This was too unlucky.

Both of them thought of this at the same time.

The flow of this video was very smooth, with no signs of it having been tampered with. This was clearlythe original video, and after Yan Zihao’s death, the hands of the person filming even trembled fromsurprise.

3

From the time of Chu Cimo’s departure until Yan Zihao’s death, no one entered the study at all!

It was no wonder that Dugu Xiao would hand over the video evidence so easily. He even said “Theresults might not be what you hope to see.” before she left.

Turned out that the real video would only prove that Chu Cimo had beaten up someone and caused theperson to die!

It was unable to resolve the current crisis.

Noticing that the two people behind had fallen silent, Lu Cheng, who was driving and didn’t get to watchthe video, didn’t understand. He asked, “What is it? Did Dugu Xiao not give the real video?”

“He did.” Chu Cichen rubbed his temple. “But in the latter part, no one had entered the deceased’sstudy.”

“What? How is that possible?!” Lu Cheng couldn’t understand this. “Did Chu Cimo really cause hisdeath? But Chu Cimo isn’t that ruthless… I understand now. Is it because Yan Zihao was sick to beginwith, which led to him being beaten to death?”

1

This was the only explanation now.

Therefore, both Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen felt that Chu Cimo was too unlucky.

Regardless of what the reason was, Chu Cimo had picked the wrong timing.

As the group was in thought, they returned to the Chu Manor.

Chu Cimo’s lawyer was already waiting at home. Moreover, Matriarch Chu was pacing aroundanxiously, and there was an uninvited guest on the sofa. It was Chu Ciyuan.

However, this time around, he didn’t come alone. Seated next to him was a young woman who washolding his arm and leaning close to him. Her relationship with Chu Ciyuan was clearly not normal.

Chu Ciyuan sneered. “Dugu Xiao has posted the entire clip online, and it’s very clear that Chu Cimohad beaten up a person to his death. According to Ding Miao, we should let the lawyer defend that thiswas an unintentional mistake.”

Ding Miao, who was next to him, added, “Aunty, you guys should go plead with the victim’s mother andobtain her understanding. I believe that with the Chu Family’s influence, she’d agree if you were to giveher more money. If this really doesn’t work, then get her daughter-in-law to kneel and beg them. With aplea of forgiveness, he would be given a lighter sentence.”

“Shut up!” Matriarch Chu scolded angrily.

Chu Ciyuan wanted to say more when Ding Miao sighed, tugging his arm. “Ciyuan, don’t say anymore.Aunty has been looking down on me since we were still in school… So how could she consider usingmy method? We are too meddlesome.”

Chu Cimo said angrily, “Ding Miao is a lawyer now and has obtained a practicing certificate. She saidthese things for Chu Cimo’s sake, so why can’t you try to listen to her advice?”

2

Matriarch Chu stared at him. “My son didn’t kill anyone. Moreover, if Chu Cimo were here, he wouldn’tlet Bai Shanshan go plead to the Yan Family for their forgiveness! Chu Ciyuan, this woman betrayedyou before back in high school. Don’t tell me that the two of you are together now!”

Ding Miao put on an aggrieved look.

Chu Ciyuan instantly wrapped his arm around Ding Miao’s waist. “Yes, when we were in high school,you went to look for Ding Miao and gave her a sum of money to leave me. The reason she acceptedthe money was because she was left with no choice. But now, I’ve grown up and you can no longercontrol my life. I am with her now.”

2

Ding Miao tugged his arm.

Chu Ciyuan said angrily, “She put aside past differences and came to help. How can you treat her likethis?”

The moment he finished saying this, an icy cold voice rang out from the door. “Help? It seems morelikely to me that she’s here to get revenge!”
