Poor Mr. Cao had no idea that Chu Zhiqing had already cleared his name and had found suitable scapegoats for what couldn't be cleaned away. He thought that Chu Zhiqing, being composed and experienced, wouldn't gamble the Chu family's decades-long foundation on this matter. After all, if someone dared to send him to prison, he would also make sure Chu Zhiqing faced consequences! He believed that Chu Zhiqing would be too wise to make such a foolish decision, especially with the Chu family in a critical internal conflict. Cao's goal was not to take Chu Yuxuan's life but to seek revenge, which was reasonable both emotionally and logically.
But, as it turned out, he had underestimated the situation...
Soon, a figure fell from the window, and immediately afterward, the sound of a car alarm blared from below with a loud "bang."
Mr. Cao lay quietly on top of a Mercedes-Benz, the roof crushed, his blood flowing from all seven orifices, and his brain matter scattered everywhere.
"Mr. Cao had a guilty conscience and felt he had wronged the people of this city, so he committed suicide in despair… What a pity, what a pity!" Chu Zhiqing said, holding the Yuan blue and white porcelain, as he cheerfully left the private room.
Sidu Jingyao watched his retreating figure, shaking her head and sighing, "It's true what they say, like father, like son… This old man is probably even more ruthless than Chu Xiaotian! If the Chu family falls into his hands, won't it be a disaster? Sigh… It's better if Yuxuan is in charge; at least he has some humanity!"
Thinking of Chu Yuxuan, the beautiful woman's lips involuntarily lifted.
Meanwhile, Chu Yuxuan had been torturing Xue Can, leaving him with no unscathed parts.
"Chu, Chu Yuxuan… Kill me! I beg you, just kill me…" Xue Can, covered in blood, had been forced by Old Four to crawl from the second-floor bedroom to the living room on the first floor, and now he lacked even the strength to tremble.
"Aren't you into this kind of game? You don't like it?" Chu Yuxuan said with a sinister smile. "You've lost most of your flesh on your back, and you're still alive. Hehe… How's my knife technique?"
"You, you're the real pervert!" Xue Can gritted his teeth, and as soon as he finished speaking, Old Three opened a new bag of salt and began to pour it onto Xue Can's back, as if it were free.
"Ah!" Xue Can screamed in agony, almost fainting. He instinctively turned over, and his bloodied back made contact with the ground, causing him excruciating pain. Seeing him rolling his eyes, Old Four shot off the last toe on his left foot, calmly saying, "Stay awake, don't fall asleep."
At that moment, Xue Mother's phone on the second floor suddenly rang. Old Five went upstairs, took the phone, and handed it to Chu Yuxuan. "Big Brother, it's Xue Feifei."
Chu Yuxuan took the phone, and as it rang again, he answered it.
"Mom, is Ah Can okay?"
"Don't shout randomly, I'm your father." Chu Yuxuan laughed.
Xue Feifei, who was lying in wait by the Emerald Lake, felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected that Chu Yuxuan would dare to find his home! Moreover, he knew that his father and Chu Zhiqing were supposed to be negotiating at Red House tonight. To be safe, he had hired twelve skilled bodyguards from a security company to protect his mother and brother. How could they possibly... be unable to stop Chu Yuxuan?! And he hadn't received any news at all!
"Hey, I'm already bored with your brother. How about you come and take his place?" Chu Yuxuan mocked.
Xue Feifei was seething with rage: "You'd better wait! Chu Yuxuan, what have you done to my mom and brother? If you touch a hair on them, I'll make your whole family suffer!"
"Hehe… I'll send you a location. Hurry over, I have a big gift for you."
"Alright! Chu, if anything happens to my mom and brother, I'll…"
Before he could finish, Chu Yuxuan hung up.
Xue Feifei, fuming with rage, took a few deep breaths and then called his father again, but the call went unanswered. Could they still be negotiating?
He had no idea that his dear father, the second-in-command in Jiangcheng's officialdom, had been silently dealt with by Chu Zhiqing at the Red House!
Seeing Xue Can on the brink of death, Chu Yuxuan lost interest in continuing the game. He fed Xue Can a small packet of white powder and said, "Hang in there, don't die just yet."
Then, several brothers took Xue Can away to the abandoned building where Gao Ning had been dealt with previously.
An hour later, Xue Feifei arrived at the abandoned building with a large group of heavily armed men.
On the rooftop, Chu Yuxuan watched as seven or eight cars approached with killing intent. He glanced at Old Three, who immediately picked up a bucket of gasoline and drenched Xue Can thoroughly.
At this moment, Xue Can had no strength even to scream. Due to excessive blood loss, his eyelids drooped heavily, and his breathing was intermittent, as if he would stop breathing any moment. Below, Xue Feifei's bodyguard with a special forces background was highly alert, constantly looking around while instructing the other gunmen in the cars to get out quickly and sneak into the abandoned building.
Just then, Xue Feifei's phone rang. It was Chu Yuxuan: "What's wrong? Scared to get out of the car? Afraid I'll take a shot at you?"
Xue Feifei trembled with anger: "Chu! First, hand over my brother and mom! I'll deal with you properly!"
"Didn't you return home before coming here?" Chu Yuxuan teased. "I can't give you your mom; she passed away peacefully. But your brother… If you look up…"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blaze erupted in the pitch-black night sky!
At the same moment, Xue Can used his last ounce of strength to let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Ah!"
Xue Feifei looked up at the struggling figure in the fire, his clenched hand seemingly crushing the phone, and his face twisted with rage: "Chu Yuxuan! I'll kill you!"
