"Heh." Liu Sisi glared at Chu Yuxuan with a cold expression and said, "Chu Yuxuan, I always thought you were just a useless playboy. But when that person named Jin didn't take you down and instead was followed, I realized you're far from being as simple as you seem!"
"So you wanted to use my hands to deal with Chu Zhiqing?" Chu Yuxuan responded, "That's pretty ruthless!"
Liu Sisi snorted, "I know you and your father have always been distant, but I didn't expect you two to have built up trust!"
"It's not trust," Chu Yuxuan corrected, "It's mutual exploitation. Honestly, if Chu Zhiqing couldn't explain the recording clearly, I wouldn't have gone easy on him."
Chu Zhiqing glanced at his son out of the corner of his eye, his lips twitching slightly, then turned to Liu Sisi and asked with confusion, "Sisi, when exactly did you return to Jiangcheng? And how did you get involved with the Ye family?"
Liu Sisi took a trembling breath and said, "I came back four years ago. At that time, I learned that Ye Yongsheng had a grudge against you, so I got close to him. He promised to help me get revenge! But… haha! Later, I gradually realized that Ye Yongsheng wasn't as formidable as I had imagined. Instead, he was like a coward, always being suppressed by you. To provoke a fight between him and you, I manipulated Ye Tianyi, telling him that his woman was stolen by you. As a result, that fool misunderstood and thought I was talking about Chu Haoran. That night, he forced Chu Haoran to kneel in public with a gun…"
Chu Yuxuan pondered, "So, Ye Tianyi's recent provocation was also your doing? That means Ye Yongsheng probably still doesn't dare to openly confront Chu Zhiqing, and he might not even know what you're up to. Your methods are impressive; even the head of the Ye family's security team is willing to work for you! I guess you've used some pretty enticing tactics on him, haven't you?"
Liu Sisi gave a bitter smile, her answer clear without words.
Chu Yuxuan chambered a round in his gun. With the truth now revealed, he saw no reason to waste more words—Liu Sisi had no reason to stay alive.
However, just as he was about to raise his gun, Chu Zhiqing stopped him. "Son, you should go outside for now. I have something to discuss with Sisi."
Chu Yuxuan was momentarily stunned. His father, known for his lecherous ways, never softened towards any woman. Hearing him say this, it seemed he had already done his best for Liu Sisi. Now, why was he stopping him? What was his game?
In any case, Chu Yuxuan didn't ask further. He took his gun and left the room. Shortly after, Hong Mei was also escorted out.
Chu Yuxuan cast a glance at her but didn't ask any questions. People like her were hard to interrogate, and it would be futile to question her. Besides, he was certain Liu Jun had committed suicide. The circumstances were clear, so there was no need to ask more.
About twenty minutes later, the door to the room opened, and Chu Zhiqing and Liu Sisi walked out together.
The few people waiting outside only glanced casually at first, but when they saw Chu Zhiqing with his arm around Liu Sisi's waist, their eyes widened in shock.
San: "This woman was supposed to be a threat to him, so why is he still with her?! What is he doing, repaying a grudge with intimacy? How many kidneys does the chairman have?"
Xiao Qing: "He managed to mix this situation in… is he challenging the limits of seducing women?"
Hong Mei: "The lady used to be madly in love with him. Is she being enchanted again?! No, no, it must be a beauty trap!"
Chu Yuxuan directly asked, "Chu Zhiqing, do you care to explain what's going on here?"
Chu Zhiqing held Liu Sisi even tighter, leaned down, and whispered something. Liu Sisi's cheeks flushed, and she lightly punched his chest before lowering her head in embarrassment.
Their interaction looked like a couple's playful banter.
"Sisi, go get ready. My driver will be here soon to take you with us. Whatever happened before, let it be. I'll make it up to you. In a few days, I'll take you to meet Ye Yongsheng, and we'll get a divorce. We'll remarry!"
Liu Sisi's eyes sparkled, and she nodded gently, taking Hong Mei to another room.
Once they were gone, Chu Zhiqing turned to Chu Yuxuan and said quietly, "Let's talk in the car."
Chu Yuxuan followed him to the car, closed the door, and said in shock, "How did you manage to stir things up with her? This is outrageous!"
Chu Zhiqing shamelessly replied, "It's not that I didn't teach you; it's just natural charm."
Chu Yuxuan: …
Chu Zhiqing continued with a smile, "Don't deal with her yet; she still has some use."
Chu Yuxuan pondered, "You plan to use her against the Ye family?"
"Yes," Chu Zhiqing said. "Since Ye Tianyi was beaten up by you, Ye Yongsheng will eventually seek revenge. It's better to strike first."
Chu Yuxuan thought for a moment and asked, "Ye Yongsheng is cunning and formidable. He might not be easy to deal with… Is there anything I can help with? After all, this issue started because of me."
Chu Zhiqing waved his hand confidently, "No need. I already have a plan to handle him. Son, have you heard of the principle of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds?"
Chu Yuxuan was somewhat puzzled, and Chu Zhiqing offered no further explanation. He lit a cigarette and said, "Even though it's clear now that Sisi was behind our troubles, Liu Jun and your mother's deaths are undoubtedly connected! That b*st*rd had done many things for me before, and I don't know who dared to make him target my woman!"
Chu Yuxuan suddenly said, "Liu Jun definitely committed suicide. I suspect his suicide might have left Hong Mei disoriented and careless, revealing some clues… By the way, Liu Jun had a daughter."
Chu Zhiqing furrowed his brow, "A daughter? I hadn't heard of that."
"Based on the information from Su Dong, Hong Mei's group must have interrogated Liu Jun about the truth ten years ago, but he resolutely committed suicide without revealing it. His protected person was probably his daughter… So, there are two possibilities: first, Liu Jun's daughter has incriminating evidence on powerful figures; second, his daughter is in the hands of those powerful figures."
Chu Zhiqing thought for a moment and said, "I lean towards the first guess."
Chu Yuxuan agreed, "Regardless, let's find his daughter as soon as possible. You should also come up with a plan."
Chu Yuxuan paused, a wicked smile suddenly appearing on his lips, "Chu Zhiqing, actually, there's a good method, but it will put you in some danger. Do you want to hear it?"
Chu Zhiqing, looking at his son's sinister expression, felt a chill in his heart, "What new scheme are you planning?"
