Chapter 29

The night passed by very quickly.

Early the next morning, Shen Ruojing went back home.

She 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 justwake up?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t reply to his question but countered with another question. “What’s wrong with yourleg?”

“I’m fine. I haven’t exercised for so long that when I tried doing some exercise last night, I pulled mymuscle. I’ve really gotten old~”

Jing Zhen said in a touching tone, “Jingjing, you’re really concerned about Father. Yesterday, at the LinFamily’s residence, you were really ruthless when you stood up for me. I will remember this.”

“…”

The corners of Shen Ruojing’s mouth twitched. She wanted to say that it had nothing to do with himand that she simply didn’t like Lin Wanru. However, before she could speak, the sound of violentknocking on their door rang out.

The noise was too loud, and it alarmed Shen Qianhui, Chu Tianye, and Chu Xiaomeng.

Shen Qianhui quickly came downstairs. “Who’s that? Why are they knocking like this?”

Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng exchanged a glance. They then returned to their respective rooms togo back to sleep calmly.

Outside the door, Madam Lin and Lin Wanru stood together with a bunch of policemen.

Coincidentally, another car arrived. After Chu Cichen alighted with Matriarch Chu, Chu Cimo also camealong.

Shen Ruojing first surveyed Chu Cichen. However, she saw that he was dressed neatly in a suit andleather shoes, not showing any signs of anxiety because of Chu Yu’s disappearance.

She had no idea if he was just cold-hearted or if he was feigning composure.

He stood next to the car and didn’t say a word, showing no intention of coming over.

When Matriarch Chu saw the group of people at the door, she asked coldly, “Madam Lin, what is themeaning of this?”

Madam Lin immediately said, “You guys have all come. That’s great. Police officers, I want to report acase!”

Matriarch Chu frowned impatiently. “Didn’t we already say that the matter yesterday was just bickeringbetween young girls? Why did you come knocking on their door again?”

When Lin Wanru heard such biased words, fury rose in her heart. She shouted, “It’s fine for me to behit, but is it alright when your grandson has been killed?!”

Matriarch Chu’s pupils contracted. “What do you mean?”

However, Lin Wanru looked toward Chu Cichen, only to see his body, which was leaning against thecar slowly straightening and tensing up. He radiated a killing aura.

Lin Wanru was so scared that she retracted her gaze, not daring to speak.

Madam Lin said, “Early this morning, someone suddenly came to our house and told me that they sawShen Ruojing killing Chu Yu and then throwing his corpse at the back mountains!”

Matriarch Chu cried out in astonishment, “That’s impossible!”

Madam 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?”

Matriarch Chu looked at Chu Cichen. When Chu Cichen nodded after giving the matter some thought,Matriarch Chu said, “Chu Yu was kidnapped…”

Lin Wanru immediately pointed to Shen Ruojing and shouted, “It must be her! It’s definitely her! I heardher telling Cichen that if it wasn’t for Chu Yu’s existence, Cichen would marry her!”

Madam Lin also raged. “Shen Ruojing, you’re really ruthless! He’s just a five-year-old child! You havechildren too! How could you bear to do something so vicious?!”

Shen Ruojing watched as the mother and daughter duo put up a show. She found this somewhatsatirizing as she replied in a cold and clear voice, “I didn’t kill anyone.”

By now, Shen Qianhui had regained her senses and took a step forward. “That’s right, we didn’t killanyone. Madam Lin, don’t be maligning people without any evidence!”

Madam Lin said furiously, “Someone saw it, so how could it be maligning? Do you dare to let the policeofficers enter your house to conduct a search? I believe that if a murder was committed, there’ddefinitely be traces left behind!”

Shen Qianhui raged. “Why should we let you search our house?!”

Madam Lin said, “You must be feeling guilty, right? Police officers, she must be feeling guilty!”

One of the police officers who had rushed over after receiving the call immediately frowned. He thenlooked at Shen Qianhui. “This is a search warrant. Please move away. We’re going to conduct asearch.”

Shen Qianhui dared to stop Madam Lin but not the police. Hence, she had no choice but to move awayfrom the door.

As it was a ‘murder case’, the number of police officers was quite high. They entered the house andstarted searching.

Not 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 waskidnapped!

Matriarch Chu staggered and almost couldn’t stand steadily

She looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief.

However, Shen Ruojing only raised her brows.

It was no wonder only one kidnapper had gone to get rid of the body last night. The other kidnappersmust have done other work. They had even planted this thing in their house.

Madam Lin tugged at Lin Wanru, and the latter instantly understood. She cried and said, “Why? Whydid you kill my son?! It’s one thing that you’re stepping in between Cichen and me. I can make way foryou. But why are you so cruel?! Return my son to me! Pay me back my son!”

She cried in a devastating manner.

Chu 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!”

Madam Lin also looked at Chu Cichen, questioning him, “Mr. Chu, I have seen a piece of news beforewhere a woman’s ex-husband joined hands with his new girlfriend to kill his two children. Such a man isworse than pigs and dogs. Of course, given how much Mr. Chu loves Little Yu, you’re definitely not afather like that. You must also hate the murderer so much that you want to skin them and pull out theirtendons, right?”

Chu Cichen was expressionless, and his eyes were terrifyingly black. “Of course.”

These two words let Madam Lin heave a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Chu Cichen would cover up for the Shen Family…

Madam Lin looked at the police officers and said, “Police officers, what are you guys still hesitating for?Hurry up and arrest the murderer!”

Shen Qianhui explained while panicking, “We didn’t! We didn’t kill anyone!”

Madam Lin asked, “Then how do you explain this clothing?! How do you explain the blood traces onit?!”

Shen Qianhui shook her head. “I don’t know how this clothing appeared in our house. I…”

Madam 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!”

However, the police officer went by the book. “We have to first verify that the blood on the clothingbelongs to the victim before we can execute an arrest…”

Lin Wanru then said anxiously, “What’s there to verify? You can just go to the back mountains to lookfor the corpse!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Cimo’s gaze also darkened. He looked at his brother and then at the paleMatriarch Chu. Chu Cimo said, “I’ll go with you guys!”

His pitiful nephew… He was still so young…

Shen Ruojing suddenly said, “There’s no need to go there.”

Chu Cimo jumped up. “Why not? Are you afraid that the corpse will be found and you’ll beincriminated? Or do you want to let my nephew’s body be left in the wilderness? You…”

However, Shen Ruojing looked into the far distance, and her lips curled up lightly. “He’s already here.”

As she finished this sentence, a light green BMW stopped at the door. The window of the hindpassenger seat rolled down slowly, revealing Chu Yu’s face!
