Chapter 725 - Not Guilty

It was five o’clock in the afternoon when Luo Xi got the news from Zang Linger.

In winter, it got dark early.

At six o’clock, when they deployed everything and entered the hotel, it was already pitch-dark outside.

In the bulletproof car, Shao Xue urged Luo Xi, “Be careful.”

Luo Xi nodded, “Don’t worry.”

After saying this, he got out of the car without making any more guarantees.

Shao Xue watched Luo Xi leave with a worried face.

However, she knew that since Zang Linger provided this piece of news for them, Song Yunxuan must also be helping them.

With Song Yunxuan’s help, it was safe for Luo Xi to meet Luo Chen.

Shao Xue clenched her fingers and waited in the bulletproof car, counting the time. She was waiting for Luo Xi to bring Luo Chen back.

As soon as Luo Xi entered the hotel, he was recognized by the bodyguards of the hotel.

A bodyguard asked him fiercely with a frown, “What are you here for?”

“I’m here for Luo Chen, the b*stard.”

Luo Xi ignored the blocking of the bodyguards. His people who were surrounding him tacitly understood Luo Xi’s mind. Before the bodyguards responsible for watching Luo Chen in the hotel could use force, Luo Xi’s people controlled all of them.

They went straight to the basement where Luo Chen was.

With a sullen face, Luo Xi said to the hotel security who had the key, “Open the door.”

The guard responded with servility before opening the door.

During these days, Luo Chen was detained in the basement and felt very bored. As soon as he heard some sound outside, he immediately became alert. However, he did not expect that this time, it was his useless nephew who opened the door.

Seeing Luo Xi, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and said to him with a sneer, “You are very good at searching.”

Luo Xi walked in the door. Seeing the decoration of the basement, Luo Xi said rudely, “Uncle, do you want to be trapped for a lifetime in this dark place?”

“How could Shao Tianze imprison me for a lifetime?”

Luo Chen retorted with a sneer.

Luo Xi nodded, “You’re right. You stay here voluntarily and want Shao Tianze to help you, right?”

Luo Chen just smiled but did not speak.

Now Shao Tianze had clearly comprehended the situation and no longer wished to cooperate with Luo Xi.

Why couldn’t Luo Chen cooperate with Shao Tianze?

With Shao Tianze helping him deal with Luo Xi, Luo Chen might get back the things that should have belonged to him.

Luo Xi looked at Luo Chen, “You beast! So inhumane. You even tried to kill your own father.”

“He only had you in his heart and wanted to give the Luo Family to you. If I did nothing, I would live for thirty years in vain.”

Hearing Luo Chen’s brazen explanation of his behavior, Luo Xi walked a few steps forward, rushed to grab Luo Chen by his collar, pulled hard, and asked him, “Do you know that Mr. Zhang is dead because of you!”

Luo Chen’s expression did not change. He had no guilt for Mr. Zhang’s death, “He had worked for our family for decades. We treated him very well. His death is nothing. I believe you will buy a nice cemetery for him, right?”

Luo Chen asked him with a smile.

Luo Xi tightened his fingers, desperately wanting to strangle Luo Chen now.

His bodyguards behind him felt worried and reminded him, “Young Master, please calm down.”

Hearing the bodyguard’s comfort, Luo Xi loosened his fingers but was still ashamed of his uncle.

However, at this moment, he could not do anything to his uncle. He could only purse his lips and push his uncle forward. Then, he turned around and ordered the bodyguards, “Take him back.”

When seeing Luo Xi coming with a group of people, Luo Chen knew that Luo Xi was probably afraid that he would cooperate with Shao Tianze.

Now, he was going to be taken away and unable to resist. He felt angry and asked Luo Xi, “Who reminded you?”

Luo Xi turned to look at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen sneered, “I don’t think you could think comprehensively. You can’t think of taking me back when you are fighting Shao Tianze.”

That was right. If Luo Chen had continued to stay here, sooner or later, he would have cooperated with Shao Tianze and become Luo Xi’s enemy.

He had already discussed their cooperation with Gu Changle. However, Gu Changle was brainless. She refused him without even considering the matter.

Shao Tianze was not such a person. As long as he stayed here until Shao Tianze came back, he would be able to get Shao Tianze’s help.

By then, he would have the opportunity to make a comeback and return to power.

However, when Luo Xi was busy fighting Shao Tianze, he thought of taking Luo Chen back in case he became an obstacle again.

Such ideas were careful and cautious.

Based on his knowledge of his nephew over the years, Luo Chen knew that Luo Xi was not such a thoughtful person.

Being asked by Luo Chen, Luo Xi turned around and squinted at him.

Luo Chen waited for him to say the answer.

However, Luo Xi only glanced at Luo Chen, turned his head, and said, “You don’t need to know.”

After saying this sentence, Luo Xi motioned to the bodyguards to quickly take Luo Chen away.

Luo Chen had no chance to struggle. He had to let Luo Xi take him out of the hotel.

...

Gu Changle learned the news two hours after Luo Chen was taken away.

After she learned the news, she thought it was not important, “There is no use keeping such a person. Let someone take him away. I don’t need to waste people and money to guard him.”

She believed that it had no effect on the Shao Family that Luo Chen was taken away.

However, she did not know that Shao Tianze had already been considering cooperation with Luo Chen.

Now that Luo Chen had been taken away by Luo Xi, many things could not continue.

Shao Tianze was not immediately notified that Luo Chen had been taken away.

Nevertheless, Song Yunxuan and Lu Feng got the news without delay.

Shao Xue called Song Yunxuan and told her, “Luo Xi has taken Luo Chen back.”

“Since then, let him stay in the Luo Family.”

Since Luo Chen was the young master of the Luo Family and Luo Jiachi’s younger son, naturally, they should not keep him in other places. The best way was to lock him in the Luo Family.

“What should we do next?”

Shao Xue asked Song Yunxuan at a loss.

Song Yunxuan said, “Waiting for the result.”

They had to wait for the outcome of the trial between the Shao Family and the Luo Family, whether Shao Tianze could be convicted.

If Shao Tianze could be successfully convicted, it would be best.

If not, they must think of other ways.

Song Yunxuan pursed her lips and reminded Shao Xue, “Ask Luo Xi to watch Luo Chen closely. Luo Chen is never allowed to talk nonsense outside.”

Shao Xue nodded, “Don’t worry. Trust me.”

Song Yunxuan also nodded.

The second trial between the Luo Family and the Shao Family took place a week later.

During this week, Gu Changle could not see Shao Tianze. When she saw Shao Tianze again, she felt that she had a lot to say.

There were too many things she wanted to say. Naturally, she forgot some less important things.

And Gu Changle listed the matter that Luo Chen had been taken away by Luo Xi as unimportant.

However, Shao Tianze’s view was completely different from Gu Changle’s.

When seeing Gu Changle in the courtroom, Shao Tianze asked her immediately, “How about Luo Chen now?”

Hearing that Shao Tianze firstly asked about Luo Chen’s situation, she felt snubbed and said, “We hadn’t seen each other for so long. Don’t you miss me? Why did you ask about Luo Chen in the first place?”

“Luo Chen is of great use to us. Tell me. How is he now?”

When Shao Tianze said that Luo Chen was very useful, Gu Changle frowned and felt it hard to answer. After all, Luo Chen was not under her control.

Seeing Gu Changle’s frown, Shao Tianze knew that something was wrong and asked her, “Did anything happen to Luo Chen?”

“Luo Chen was taken away by Luo Xi last week.”

Before Gu Changle said this, Shao Tianze was fine. After hearing her words, Shao Tianze was infuriated.

“Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

Gu Changle furrowed her brow and put on an embarrassed expression, “I thought he was useless to us. You have been involved in this matter recently. I don’t want you to worry too much, so I didn’t tell you.”

Shao Tianze creased his brows and was about to blame Gu Changle.

At the same time, Shao Tianze saw Luo Xi enter the courtroom.

He immediately turned his sight to Luo Xi’s face. Luo Xi also felt Shao Tianze’s gaze and looked back casually.

Their eyes met, and much anger and resentment burst and collided.

Meng Youran coughed slightly, drew Shao Tianze’s attention back, and said to him, “Mr. Shao, we should go.”

Hearing Meng Youran’s words, Shao Tianze retracted his gaze on Luo Xi’s face and turned to look at Changle, “Let me know everything from now on.”

Gu Changle could feel Shao Tianze’s displeasure. Being reminded by Shao Tianze, she nodded, “Okay.”

After saying this, Shao Tianze followed Meng Youran to the trial seat.

Song Yunxuan could not watch the trial process in the court.

She could only wait outside for the outcome of the trial.

The trial lasted more than five hours.

There was a recess in the middle of the trial. The trial attracted a lot of media attention because Luo Jiachi was the master of the Luo Family in Harbor City.

Song Yunxuan was drinking tea with Lu Feng in the hotel while waiting for the outcome of the trial.

She had some speculations about it in her heart.

However, she didn’t want to say it.

Seeing her drinking tea quietly, Lu Feng asked her, “Who do you think will win this lawsuit?”

“It’s hard to tell.” Song Yunxuan smiled, “After all, Shao Tianze’s lawyer is Meng Youran.”

“If this lawsuit is lost, will you continue to help Luo Xi?”

“Of course I will.” Song Yunxuan replied.

“Since you said that, I think you probably have guessed the result.”

“Maybe.” Song Yunxuan smiled.

The two people meditated on their own.

Until Shao Xue called.

Song Yunxuan changed her expression and answered the phone.

When the phone was connected, Shao Xue immediately said, “Yunxuan, Shao Tianze was acquitted.”

Song Yunxuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although she had thought that Shao Tianze’s charge would not be very serious, she had never considered that he would be acquitted.
