Chapter 492

492 He Is A Hero!

Located in the center of the capital, Valor Gate was a courtyard that had been passed down forgenerations.

From afar, it looked like a school, but there were always many people practicing in the backfield. ValorGate had four main gates that were guarded by its disciples. And to reach the punishment hall, onemust enter through the north gate.

At the moment, Bai Shanshan and Matriarch Chu were standing at the north gate with Chu Xiaoqi,staring inside because they couldn’t see the situation in the punishment hall due to several courtyardsseparating them.

The fifth senior brother was comforting them outside the gate. “You should go back. Little JuniorBrother said that he doesn’t want to see you. He’ll come back home once his injuries have healed.”

Bai Shanshan’s eyes were red as she shook her head.

Matriarch Chu was also determined, having been a woman who had managed the Chu Corporation.“He is my son. He’s hurt, so I have to be here for him. The Chu family isn’t capable of saving him, andit’s my fault as his mother.”

She choked up at the end of her sentence.

Chu Cimo had grown up with her and he was always lively and playful. After he was accepted intoChina University, he came to the capital. But during those four years, she didn’t mind his absence as itwas only a short period.

She had never thought that her son would become a thief during that time.

What was even more frightening was that after he graduated, he snuck back to Sea City, and she justassumed that he was being lazy, failing to realize that he was in trouble.

In her lifetime, she had sent her eldest son abroad for secret training and raised her youngest son ather side, thinking that he would be useless. But he ended up doing such a big thing behind her back,even participating in some fighting matches…

As his mother, she failed to notice anything. The fifth senior brother felt guilty as he watched the two ofthem. “Little Junior Brother is speechless facing you two. He feels too ashamed…”

Matriarch Chu suppressed her emotions and said to the fifth senior brother, “Tell him that I am proud ofhim.”

Chu Xiaoqi was still young and didn’t understand what was happening. Holding an apple in her hand,she asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong with Daddy?”

Bai Shanshan knelt down and explained, “Daddy made a mistake while trying to save some people andwill be punished today, but Mom doesn’t think that he’s wrong. Xiaoqi, your Daddy is a hero.”

“Is he as handsome as Spider-Man?”

“He’s even more handsome than Spider-Man.”

Chu Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment before taking out a bag from her pocket and putting the appleinside. She then handed the bag to the fifth senior brother. “Uncle, can you bring this apple to Dad? Tellhim that Xiaoqi likes heroes the most.”

The fifth senior brother took the bag. The apple had been bitten and chewed by Chu Xiaoqi. Becauseshe lost a tooth, the bite marks looked quite messy.

The fifth senior brother didn’t quite understand the significance of it all, so he simply nodded and said,“Okay, I’ll take this apple to Junior Brother now.”

He went in through the gate and headed straight to the punishment hall.

Inside the courtyard, a crowd had gathered. Except for those who were on guard duty, most of theValor Gate disciples who had no other tasks for the day were here to witness Chu Cimo’s punishment.

Everyone felt a little sorry for him, but the eldest senior brother and his men were spreading all kinds ofbrainwashing propaganda among the crowd. “Such a person is not fit to be a Valor Gate disciple. Forhis own greed, he caused us to be misunderstood as a dark force for so many years. We’re just onestep away from being called a criminal organization!”

“That’s right. We have laws in this country, and those who break them must be punished according tothe law. Why should we let him act like a hero?”

“A few years ago, when I wanted to replace a job to make some extra money, I was despised and told thatbecause I was a Valor Gate member, I might not have discipline. Even when a film crew invited amartial arts instructor, they never invited us…

“I think kicking him out of Valor Gate and breaking his hands and feet is too light of a punishment!”

Perhaps because they didn’t know the truth, many of these people listened to these words and reallythought that Chu Cimo had done something terrible.

They all pointed and whispered around him.

The fifth senior brother who was holding the apple approached Chu Cimo, who was bound with hishands behind his back on the ground. There were guards around him, and they didn’t allow anyone toget too close.

The fifth senior brother yelled out, “This is something his family sent. It is just an apple. Can’t you lethim have it?”

The guard looked at the eldest senior brother who then waved his hands. The eldest senior brothernever bothered with small things like this.

The fifth senior brother then went to Chu Cimo’s side.

Chu Cimo asked, “Who’s here? Did the disciples give them any trouble?”

The fifth senior brother sighed and said, “Your wife, your daughter, and your mother are here. Threewomen. As long as they don’t break in, our disciples won’t lay a hand on them. Don’t worry. It wasn’tme who said this, but the eldest senior brother might have found someone to spread the news. Nowthe whole of the capital knows that there’s a thief among us, Valor Gate disciples… Anyway, your familybrought you some food, just a messy apple that has been chewed up. Sigh, they didn’t even bring youanything delicious.”

Chu Cimo stared at the apple, but his eyes slowly turned red. “You don’t understand. This is mydaughter’s favorite food. Currently, no one in the family can take it away from her mouth.”

Chu Cimo didn’t want to tell his family about his situation, first because he didn’t want them to worry,and secondly because he was ashamed of being a thief.

But now, with his daughter’s apple in his sight, he understood that in his family’s hearts, he had alwaysbeen their superhero. With his hands bound, he turned to the fifth senior brother and said, “Open it!”

The fifth senior brother opened the bag, and the apple inside was wet and messy, obviously with thesaliva of Chu Xiaoqi.

He then asked disdainfully, “You really want to eat this?”

Chu Cimo ignored him and took a bite. He closed his eyes to prevent tears from falling and thenexclaimed, “It’s delicious!”

After speaking, he looked at the fifth senior brother and said, “Go out and take care of them. There’s noneed to watch over me here.”

The fifth senior brother understood his meaning.

The two had the closest relationship, and Chu Cimo didn’t want the fifth senior brother to witness hispunishment. The latter wiped away a tear and said, “Okay.”

As he stood up to leave, he saw that there were more people standing where the three women hadbeen before – even Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen had come!

At this moment, Chu Cichen’s face was grim, and Shen Ruojing’s expression was not good either.

Yesterday, they had contacted those people, but it hadn’t been easy. The people who helped Chu Cimoincluded female celebrities, housewives, and people who had been harassed or bullied at work.

These people had some dark secrets in their lives, and they didn’t want to expose them now that theywere living in peace. As a result, only a handful of people were able to come today, and they didn’thave much persuasive power.

Shen Ruojing looked at the time and said, “I’ll go in and take a look. When those people come, you canbring them in.”

Chu Cichen nodded in agreement.

Shen Ruojing walked toward the gate, but she was stopped by the guards of Valor Gate. “No outsidersallowed in!”

The eldest senior brother had repeatedly instructed that these people should not be allowed in today.

When Shen Ruojing heard this, her brows furrowed.

She looked at the guard and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
