nThe night passed by very quickly.
n
nEarly the next morning, Shen Ruojing went back home.
n
nShe had just opened the door when she saw Jing Zhen walking out of the bedroom while limping. When he saw her, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did you not come home the entire night? Or did you just wake up?”
n
nShen Ruojing didn’t reply to his question but countered with another question. “What’s wrong with your leg?”
n
n“I’m fine. I haven’t exercised for so long that when I tried doing some exercise last night, I pulled my muscle. I’ve really gotten old~”
n
nJing Zhen said in a touching tone, “Jingjing, you’re really concerned about Father. Yesterday, at the Lin Family’s residence, you were really ruthless when you stood up for me. I will remember this.”
n
n“…”
n
nThe corners of Shen Ruojing’s mouth twitched. She wanted to say that it had nothing to do with him and that she simply didn’t like Lin Wanru. However, before she could speak, the sound of violent knocking on their door rang out.
n
nThe noise was too loud, and it alarmed Shen Qianhui, Chu Tianye, and Chu Xiaomeng.
n
nShen Qianhui quickly came downstairs. “Who’s that? Why are they knocking like this?”
n
nChu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng exchanged a glance. They then returned to their respective rooms to go back to sleep calmly.
n
nOutside the door, Madam Lin and Lin Wanru stood together with a bunch of policemen.
n
nCoincidentally, another car arrived. After Chu Cichen alighted with Matriarch Chu, Chu Cimo also came along.
n
nShen Ruojing first surveyed Chu Cichen. However, she saw that he was dressed neatly in a suit and leather shoes, not showing any signs of anxiety because of Chu Yu’s disappearance.
n
nShe had no idea if he was just cold-hearted or if he was feigning composure.
n
nHe stood next to the car and didn’t say a word, showing no intention of coming over.
n
nWhen Matriarch Chu saw the group of people at the door, she asked coldly, “Madam Lin, what is the meaning of this?”
n
nMadam Lin immediately said, “You guys have all come. That’s great. Police officers, I want to report a case!”
n
nMatriarch Chu frowned impatiently. “Didn’t we already say that the matter yesterday was just bickering between young girls? Why did you come knocking on their door again?”
n
nWhen Lin Wanru heard such biased words, fury rose in her heart. She shouted, “It’s fine for me to be hit, but is it alright when your grandson has been killed?!”
n
nMatriarch Chu’s pupils contracted. “What do you mean?”
n
nHowever, Lin Wanru looked toward Chu Cichen, only to see his body, which was leaning against the car slowly straightening and tensing up. He radiated a killing aura.
n
nLin Wanru was so scared that she retracted her gaze, not daring to speak.
n
nMadam Lin said, “Early this morning, someone suddenly came to our house and told me that they saw Shen Ruojing killing Chu Yu and then throwing his corpse at the back mountains!”
n
nMatriarch Chu cried out in astonishment, “That’s impossible!”
n
nMadam Lin immediately looked at her. “I don’t believe it either, so I ask you guys to bring Chu Yu over. If it’s a misunderstanding, then we can just clear things up. Where is Chu Yu?”
n
nMatriarch Chu looked at Chu Cichen. When Chu Cichen nodded after giving the matter some thought, Matriarch Chu said, “Chu Yu was kidnapped…”
n
nLin Wanru immediately pointed to Shen Ruojing and shouted, “It must be her! It’s definitely her! I heard her telling Cichen that if it wasn’t for Chu Yu’s existence, Cichen would marry her!”
n
nMadam Lin also raged. “Shen Ruojing, you’re really ruthless! He’s just a five-year-old child! You have children too! How could you bear to do something so vicious?!”
n
nShen Ruojing watched as the mother and daughter duo put up a show. She found this somewhat satirizing as she replied in a cold and clear voice, “I didn’t kill anyone.”
n
nBy now, Shen Qianhui had regained her senses and took a step forward. “That’s right, we didn’t kill anyone. Madam Lin, don’t be maligning people without any evidence!”
n
nMadam Lin said furiously, “Someone saw it, so how could it be maligning? Do you dare to let the police officers enter your house to conduct a search? I believe that if a murder was committed, there’d definitely be traces left behind!”
n
nShen Qianhui raged. “Why should we let you search our house?!”
n
nMadam Lin said, “You must be feeling guilty, right? Police officers, she must be feeling guilty!”
n
nOne of the police officers who had rushed over after receiving the call immediately frowned. He then looked at Shen Qianhui. “This is a search warrant. Please move away. We’re going to conduct a search.”
n
nShen Qianhui dared to stop Madam Lin but not the police. Hence, she had no choice but to move away from the door.
n
nAs it was a ‘murder case’, the number of police officers was quite high. They entered the house and started searching.
n
nNot long later, a police officer let out a surprised cry and then walked out, frowning. He held a child-sized short-sleeved shirt that was dyed in blood. It was what Chu Yu was wearing when he was kidnapped!
n
nMatriarch Chu staggered and almost couldn’t stand steadily
n
nShe looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief.
n
nHowever, Shen Ruojing only raised her brows.
n
nIt was no wonder only one kidnapper had gone to get rid of the body last night. The other kidnappers must have done other work. They had even planted this thing in their house.
n
nMadam Lin tugged at Lin Wanru, and the latter instantly understood. She cried and said, “Why? Why did you kill my son?! It’s one thing that you’re stepping in between Cichen and me. I can make way for you. But why are you so cruel?! Return my son to me! Pay me back my son!”
n
nShe cried in a devastating manner.
n
nChu Cimo’s expression drastically changed. He then glared at Shen Ruojing and said, “Shen Ruojing! How dare you kill my nephew! You’re too vicious! Big Bro, we mustn’t let this woman off!”
n
nMadam Lin also looked at Chu Cichen, questioning him, “Mr. Chu, I have seen a piece of news before where a woman’s ex-husband joined hands with his new girlfriend to kill his two children. Such a man is worse than pigs and dogs. Of course, given how much Mr. Chu loves Little Yu, you’re definitely not a father like that. You must also hate the murderer so much that you want to skin them and pull out their tendons, right?”
n
nChu Cichen was expressionless, and his eyes were terrifyingly black. “Of course.”
n
nThese two words let Madam Lin heave a sigh of relief.
n
nShe was afraid that Chu Cichen would cover up for the Shen Family…
n
nMadam Lin looked at the police officers and said, “Police officers, what are you guys still hesitating for? Hurry up and arrest the murderer!”
n
nShen Qianhui explained while panicking, “We didn’t! We didn’t kill anyone!”
n
nMadam Lin asked, “Then how do you explain this clothing?! How do you explain the blood traces on it?!”
n
nShen Qianhui shook her head. “I don’t know how this clothing appeared in our house. I…”
n
nMadam Lin said, “There are both evidence and witnesses, yet you’re still denying it. Police officers, please arrest their entire family! I suspect that they committed this crime as a group!”
n
nHowever, the police officer went by the book. “We have to first verify that the blood on the clothing belongs to the victim before we can execute an arrest…”
n
nLin Wanru then said anxiously, “What’s there to verify? You can just go to the back mountains to look for the corpse!”
n
nUpon hearing this, Chu Cimo’s gaze also darkened. He looked at his brother and then at the pale Matriarch Chu. Chu Cimo said, “I’ll go with you guys!”
n
nHis pitiful nephew… He was still so young…
n
nShen Ruojing suddenly said, “There’s no need to go there.”
n
nChu Cimo jumped up. “Why not? Are you afraid that the corpse will be found and you’ll be incriminated? Or do you want to let my nephew’s body be left in the wilderness? You…”
n
nHowever, Shen Ruojing looked into the far distance, and her lips curled up lightly. “He’s already here.”
n
nAs she finished this sentence, a light green BMW stopped at the door. The window of the hind passenger seat rolled down slowly, revealing Chu Yu’s face!
