Chapter 142 - Just Don’t Regret It In the Future

Translator: Lordbluefire

“That’s right, he is dead. So please make a trip to the police station with us!”

The police officer then grabbed Chu Cimo and brought him out.

They had just stepped out of the Chu Manor when a bunch of reporters suddenly rushed out of nowhere and took photos of them.

The police officers frowned as well. “Please don’t take photos and make way.”

However, a reporter shouted.

“We’ve received news that Yan Zihao was beaten to death last night. Chu Cimo, were you the one who killed him?”

“Is it because he plotted against you and took your daughter away? After you found out the truth, you couldn’t accept this and thus went to beat him up, is that right?”

“…”

Chu Cimo was brought into a police car amidst all the questions.

After the police car drove off, the reporters then crowded around Matriarch Chu who had also come out. They kept on taking photos of her. “Matriarch Chu, are you guys going to cover up for the murder?”

“Chu Cimo has killed someone. What is the Chu Corporation’s take on this matter?”

As expected of the madam of the family, when Matriarch Chu encountered such a matter, she didn’t panic at all and continued to look composed. “Everyone in our family is a law-abiding citizen, and we won’t do something like this. Before the case is finalized, my son isn’t the murderer. Please don’t accuse him so recklessly.”

After retorting against one of the reporters, Matriarch Chu entered the manor under the guards’ cover.

The moment she entered, she instructed the butler, “Inform the lawyer to get Cimo out on bail and then inform Cichen to be prepared. The Chu Corporation will probably be faced with even crazier cyber violence.”

The butler nodded.

When Matriarch Chu was giving instructions to the butler, the second aunt dashed over and shouted, “Did Chu Cimo kill someone?”

Before Matriarch Chu could say anything, the second aunt shouted, “I knew it! He would definitely get into trouble sooner or later with the way you pamper him!In the past, he didn’t get a proper job and you didn’t care. Now, he has even committed murder!”

Matriarch Chu bellowed sharply, “The court hasn’t judged him as guilty yet, but Second Sister-in-Law can already do that? You’re really amazing.”

The second aunt choked.

Chu Yuan furrowed his brows tightly. “Eldest Sister-in-Law, what is going on? If there’s anything you need our help for, just say so.”

Chu Yuan was the closest to his eldest brother in the past. Ever since Chu Cichen’s father passed away, he had been helping out for so many years while Matriarch Chu managed the company.

Hence, Matriarch Chu treated him like her real younger brother. She then nodded and said solemnly, “It’s nothing.”

“What do you mean it’s nothing? He killed someone! If other people don’t know of this, we might be able to resolve this matter with money, but everyone knows about this now! All of them have their attention on this matter!” The second aunt was going crazy. “I want to sell my shares! Didn’t you guys say that you’d buy them based on the original price? Are you still buying them?”

Matriarch Chu frowned.

“We are.”

A deep and strong voice rang out from the door as Chu Cichen entered with long strides.

Soon after the police officers left, he was informed of this matter and thus came rushing home quickly. The moment his tall and big figure entered, it strangely gave everyone in the Chu Manor peace of mind.

It was as if as long as he was around, everything could be taken care of.

Chu Cichen came in and said to Lu Cheng who was with him, “Go and take care of the contract with my second aunt.”

Lu Cheng only threw a glance at Chu Cichen’s second aunt in disdain. “Yes.”

Chu Yuan, on the other hand, frowned and continued to reproach, “Second Sister-in-Law, are you sure you’re going to be so heartless and not care about kinship?”

“Kinship?” The second aunt was very anxious. When Dugu Xiao started targeting the Chu Family, she already started cursing away at home every day, saying that Chu Cichen wasn’t that capable of managing the business yet was really good at offending people.

Now, there was even a murder case involved…

The second aunt understood that since the reporters had taken photos, the Chu Corporation’s share price would plunge drastically. Hence, she was naturally going to sell the shares!

She shouted, “If it wasn’t on the account of kinship, I’d have sold the shares the moment the company got into trouble. Now, it’s you guys who are too useless and keep on creating trouble. Am I supposed to go bankrupt with you guys?! Cichen’s third uncle, don’t persuade me anymore! Our family will be selling our shares! I’d advise you to do the same. Otherwise, even though this might sound bad, if their family were to become penniless in the future, we won’t be helping you guys!”

Chu Yuan’s countenance was very grim.

On the other hand, Chu Cichen narrowed his eyes. “As long as Second Aunt doesn’t regret this in the future.”

“Regret? I only regret that I didn’t sell the shares sooner!” After the second aunt said this, she followed Lu Cheng to the study at the side to sign the contract.

Chu Cichen looked at Chu Yuan. “Third Uncle can sell your shares too.”

Chu Yuan reproached, “What do you mean by asking me to sell my shares? Is this the time to be talking about such things? Moreover, Second Brother’s family and our family have the most shares. With them having sold all their shares, where are you going to get the money from even if I want to sell them?”

Chu Yuan had a rough idea of how much money each family had.

“I still have my dowry.”

Matriarch Chu suddenly spoke.

Chu Yuan waved his hand. “Sister-in-Law, are you humiliating me? How can the Chu Family spend their daughter-in-law’s dowry?! Don’t bring this matter up anymore! My family will stick together with Eldest Brother’s family!”

After saying that, he continued anxiously, “It’s not the time to talk about these things either. We better hurry and find out what is going on. Did the police manage to get some kind of evidence? Why are they so certain that Cimo is the murderer?”

Matriarch Chu felt warm inside.

Chu Cichen’s gaze also softened a lot.

The three of them then gathered in the living room.

It was only until night came that their lawyer brought Chu Cimo home.

By right, Chu Cimo shouldn’t be allowed to be on bail in this situation. However, the Chu Family had been law-abiding citizens for so many years, and the lawyer also had his means and connections. The lawyer had given his guarantee that Chu Cimo would not escape and would definitely come whenever he was called. Only then did he manage to bring Chu Cimo out.

Although Shen Ruojing was accompanying Chu Xiaomeng upstairs, she had her attention on the things that were happening downstairs. When she heard voices, she quickly went down and saw that the lawyer’s expression was grim. The lawyer said, “The evidence that they have is very troublesome.”

“What evidence do they have?” Chu Yuan asked.

The lawyer took out his phone and said, “It’s this video clip.”

Chu Cimo immediately shouted, “That’s impossible! I checked all the nearby security cameras before I went! I avoided all of them!”

The moment he said this, a hard slap landed on his head and Matriarch Chu roared, “You feel proud about that?”

Chu Cimo didn’t dare to say another word.

The lawyer let out a heavy sigh. “Young Master Mo was unlucky. He had indeed avoided many cameras, but it just so happened that a family was filming the scenery of the district and managed to record a video of Young Master Mo secretly sneaking into the Yan Family’s villa. Moreover, it’s a high-definition video.”

A high-definition video… How could it be so coincidental that the video they filmed was a high-definition one…

Who would believe this?!

Chu Cimo shouted, “Someone must have set me up!”

He wasn’t a fool and quickly understood what was going on. “It’s Dugu Xiao!”

Chu Cichen seemed to have guessed this long ago and didn’t say a word. He then looked at the lawyer and asked, “Show us the video.”

Chu Cimo said, “Yes, the video must have been faked. I didn’t kill him. I only gave him a beating…”

After saying that, he continued, “We need a hacker to help us check the video.”

Chu Cimo had just said this when Shen Ruojing came downstairs. She walked over and said, “Let me take a look.”
