Chapter 355 - 353 Chu Xiuyun is Missing

Chapter 355: Chapter 353 Chu Xiuyun is Missing

The incident drew serious attention from the higher-ups, and the relevant departments immediately formed a working group to initiate an investigation.

Based on the results of the investigation, the police had determined Mr. Chu’s criminal activities.

Mr. Chu faced multiple charges and was deeply mired in prison, with no chance of seeing daylight again in his lifetime.

But could such a big affair have been orchestrated by Mr. Chu alone?

No!

There were a total of seven individuals involved, including the legal heir to Chu Group, Chu Xiuyun, who could not escape implication.

All these involved individuals would face legal sanctions.

"Chu Xiuyun was also arrested?" Qiao Xi handed the phone back to Zhou Ge and asked again, "Has Shen Dang called you?"

Zhou Ge shook his head, "No, I only came across this news, I’m not very clear on the actual situation."

The news we can see now is all that the officials want us to see.

The deeper layers within might not be accessible to the common masses.

Just like how the news reports only give a brief account, how could the complexity of this incident be explained in just a few words?

When their interests are touched upon, the masses only want a fair outcome.

Qiao Xi, concerned for Shen Dang, called him but the call did not go through.

He might still be busy.

Zhou Ge noticed her frowning and lightly said, "Miss Qiao, you don’t need to worry too much, nothing unexpected will happen."

Qiao Xi was rather heavy-hearted.

All of this must have been arranged by Shen Dang.

She could not have imagined Mr. Chu conducting such despicable deeds in secret, an utter eradication of goodness.

Shen Dang was acting for the people’s welfare by doing this.

But things were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface. Qiao Xi knew Shen Dang could handle it, but she couldn’t help worrying about the dangers he might face.

Bei Bei could not comprehend the business dealings, her utter disdain was only directed at the horrific acts committed by those brutes: "Bad people will certainly be arrested. With such a big impact, those villains should all be wiped out!"

The poor girls who suffered are so pitiable!

Just thinking about it is somewhat terrifying.

And to think such a horrible incident happened right beside them!

It is shocking to realize that in today’s society, where the law is clear and present, such dark deeds can still take place!

Has our world become unsafe?

Bei Bei rubbed her cold arms, sighing, "I suddenly don’t want to leave this place, the outside world is too dangerous."

Zhou Ge gave her a glance, with a bland tone, "If I really let you stay here, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to."

First off, this place lacks convenient transportation, the signal is poor, and all the young people have already left, leaving only a few elderly behind.

Why do so many people prefer to flock to big cities?

Because impoverished and backward places cannot confine a person’s ambition and freedom.

The world is filled with dangers and opportunities; maybe you’ll never encounter them in your lifetime, or maybe they’re right beside you.

But as long as you follow your conscience, do not commit crimes, and resist bad temptations, you can still live your life peacefully.

Safety is not so difficult; the world may not be as dangerous as you imagine.

It is the human heart that decays, not the world itself.

Bei Bei slightly stuck out her tongue, "Then when I get old, I’ll bring my partner here to retire in the seclusion of the mountains."

This place is just a bit poor and sparsely populated, but the scenery is still beautiful, and the air is so fresh every day.

Zhou Ge: "...You’ve got a pretty long-term vision, young girl."

Bei Bei glared at him, "Aren’t I allowed to think?"

Zhou Ge retorted, "I didn’t say anything."

"You didn’t say anything?" Bei Bei put her hands on her hips, indignant, "You said I was thinking too far ahead!"

She wasn’t thinking too far; this was an aspiration for the future!

What does this stinky bodyguard know?

Zhou Ge glanced at her, "Isn’t what I said a fact? Still a single dog, and already thinking about your partner."

Bei Bei spoke righteously, "So you did say it!"

Zhou Ge: "..."

Can’t argue your way out, huh?

Zhou Ge conceded, "Fine, I’ll shut up."

How could this even turn into an argument?

Qiao Xi’s phoenix eyes were smiling, "Bei Bei, Zhou Ge, didn’t you two go watch a movie together?"

Bei Bei was startled, "What about it?"

Zhou Ge also asked, "Yeah, what about it?"

They were both quite nonchalant.

Qiao Xi’s eyes roved over them, "Then why are you arguing?"

"He said something but won’t own up to it!" Bei Bei huffed.

Zhou Ge grumbled as he walked away, "I really didn’t say anything, tsk tsk tsk, there is nothing more difficult to manage than women and fools."

Realizing what he was implying, Bei Bei: "——Damn?"

Bei Bei immediately chased after him.

Qiao Xi chuckled and shook her head.

Unable to contact Shen Dang, she approached Qu Jiashu to find out about the events in Hai City.

Qu Jiashu told her everything he knew.

The turmoil greatly impacted Chu Group’s stock market, with shares plummeting without needing Shen Dang to add to the chaos.

Shen Dang had planted hidden dangers in Chu Group’s affairs a long time ago, deliberately meddling in all sorts of business dealings of Chu’s.

Today, amid the substantial upheaval faced by Chu’s, the final blow was dealt, severing all the financial lifelines of Chu Group.

The Chu family, father and son, were engulfed in calamity, and the Chu family’s collateral branch did not dare to surface at this time.

None of them were aware of the monstrous acts committed by Mr. Chu, and it was natural for them to choose self-preservation in such a situation.

This matter was highly sensitive—who would dare to be tainted by this stench?

Only Chu Xiuyun’s mother remained.

Facing drastic family changes, her daughter having disappeared months ago after leaving a letter, and her husband and son convicted, this woman of despair sought to pull strings to save at least her son, but found herself without any avenues for help.

With Chu Group leaderless and all funds frozen by the banks, what awaited Chu’s was an inevitable outcome of being sealed off.

Thus, Chu Group ceased to exist!

This struggle among the wealthy had ended with the downfall of Chu’s.

With most of the matter dealt with, Qu Jiashu reassured Qiao Xi not to worry too much; Shen Dang would certainly contact her when he was free.

Qiao Xi inquired indirectly about Xie Baola’s situation from Qu Jiashu.

Qu Jiashu smiled, "Puala will take over Xie Group someday, and we really owe a lot to Uncle Xie’s extensive connections this time."

Of course, what further actions they took, including what benefits they reaped, were details he would not disclose to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi didn’t want to know too many complexities. She pursed her lips slightly, "You all worked hard."

Qu Jiashu: "Simply serving justice."

After hanging up, Qiao Xi slightly tilted her head upward, staring at the distant rolling mountains, lost in thought.

This secluded village, far removed from the noise and vanity of the world, everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

Yet in such an environment, an unease lingered in Qiao Xi’s mind.

It was as if beneath the calm surface of the sea hid whirlpools, with undercurrents surging, bringing a hint of unknown danger.

As the dust settled, Qiao Xi sensed the foreboding atmosphere of an approaching storm.

Indeed, by nightfall, she heard disconcerting news from Shen Dang.

——Chu Xiuyun had disappeared!
