Chapter 180: 180 Coming Right Away (Fourth Watch)

Chu Jin’s face grew paler as she listened, realizing that such grave injustice lurked behind the events.

So who exactly wanted to harm Chu Liyan and his wife, and moreover, wanted them dead at all costs!

The greatest beneficiaries after the death of Chu Liyan and his wife were the Zhao family.

Could the real mastermind behind it all be the Zhao family?

However, at that time, the Chu Family, be it in terms of status, wealth, or background, far surpassed the Zhao family.

It was like comparing the leg of an elephant to an ant.

But who else could it be besides the Zhao family?

Who else could harbor such hatred towards Chu Liyan and his wife?

Moreover, the other party wasn’t after wealth or power; they simply wanted Chu Liyan and his wife dead.

"Aunt Li, is everything you’ve told me true? My parents’ death wasn’t an accident but instead orchestrated by someone?"

Aunt Li sobbed a little, "How could I possibly joke about such a matter? Although I’ve grown old and my memory isn’t what it used to be, I remember every single detail Mr. Chu entrusted to me before the incident very clearly."

Chu Jin understood the gravity of the situation and continued to ask, "About this matter, besides you, does anyone else know? Have you told Grandfather or anyone else?"

"No," Aunt Li shook her head with a bitter smile, "Why would the Zhao family care about the Chu family’s private matters? Back then, I vaguely mentioned this to Old Zhao, and he punished me by docking a month’s salary. After the accident with Mr. Chu and Madam, the happiest people were your uncle and aunt. They gained quite a lot of benefits from it."

Chu Jin frowned slightly; this wasn’t right. After all, Zhao Yan was Zhao Hai’s biological daughter.

How could her parents not care at all about what happened to her?

That was just too cold-hearted.

"Jin, when Mr. Chu was alive, what he cared about most was the Chu family’s ancestral home. He always said that the ancestral home was the root of the Chu family people. Sadly, after Mr. Chu’s accident, your uncle thought the ancestral home brought bad luck and sold it to a foreign businessman. When you are capable, you must find a way to buy back the ancestral home. Only then can Mr. Chu rest in peace."

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Okay, rest assured, I will find a way to buy back the ancestral home as soon as possible."

Now that she was Chu Jin, she felt obligated to do something for the Chu family.

"And one more thing..." Aunt Li wiped her tears and continued, "Jin, once you are capable in the future, you must seek out the truth and bring those criminals to justice, to vindicate Mr. Chu and Madam."

Chu Jin nodded seriously, "Rest assured, I will definitely find the real culprit so that my father’s spirit in heaven can rest."

As long as she remained Chu Jin for even a day, she would find a way to get to the bottom of this matter.

To let Chu Liyan’s wrongful death be redressed as soon as possible.

"Okay," Aunt Li looked up at Chu Jin, "I have fulfilled the mission Mr. Chu entrusted to me. Jin, take good care of yourself; it’s time for me to leave."

Aunt Li’s mood gradually stabilized; she found that after explaining everything, she felt much lighter.

The heavy burden of the past weighed on her mind and body; it was truly exhausting.

"Where are you going?" Chu Jin looked up and asked.

"I’m going home," Aunt Li said with a content smile appearing on her face, "A few days ago, my son called me. My daughter-in-law has given birth to a hefty grandson, and I’m going home to take care of him."

A kind smile appeared in Aunt Li’s eyes; it had been many years since she had been home, and just as many since she had seen her fellow villagers.

She was really looking forward to this trip back home.

"Aunt Li, take good care of yourself," Chu Jin hugged Aunt Li.

Aunt Li also hugged Chu Jin, eyes brimming with reluctance and tears welling up again, "Jin, you also take care. Remember, if you have the chance, come visit us in the countryside."

"I will," Chu Jin nodded gently, as mist began to cloud her eyes.

"Oh, by the way," Chu Jin took an envelope out of her backpack and handed it to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, please keep this safe. It’s not much money, but it’s for buying your grandson a new outfit."

Aunt Li hurriedly refused; she couldn’t possibly accept Jin’s money at such a time.

"I can’t accept your money, Jin."

"Aunt Li, please just keep it. Thank you for spending so much time with me at the Zhao family’s home. Without you, there wouldn’t be a me. It’s not a lot of money, and I can earn my own money now. Please, if you don’t accept it, I will be upset," Chu Jin feigned anger.

She was truly grateful to Aunt Li; without her, Chu Jin at seven would no longer exist.

Regardless of whether Chu Liyan had done any favors for Aunt Li, Aunt Li herself was a person of integrity and kindness, having held on to a promise for eleven years.

Seeing how resolute Chu Jin was, Aunt Li had no choice but to accept the envelope, "Okay, Jin, Aunt Li will take it. Remember to visit Aunt Li’s home when you have time..."

"Sure, don’t worry, I’ll definitely visit." Chu Jin affirmed with a nod.

She wasn’t just saying it to be polite; she was sincerely making a promise.

In this world, she no longer had any relatives left; subconsciously, she had already come to regard Aunt Li as her own family.

When everything eventually settled down, to dust returning to dust, and earth to earth, she would surely go to find Aunt Li.

Parting was always such a melancholic affair.

The sunlight stretched their shadows long across the ground.

"Goodbye, Jin..."

Aunt Li looked back and waved goodbye to Chu Jin every three steps.

Under the sunlight, the girl’s smiling face became blurrier and blurrier.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, Chu Jin collected her emotions and hailed a taxi to Huagui Park.

Huagui Park was a high-end villa district where most homeowners paid their property and management fees in one lump sum. Therefore, even if a house was uninhabited for more than a decade, the property management would not interfere or bother to lock the doors.

She entered the villa district without any trouble.

Chu Jin took out her key to unlock the door and was immediately greeted by a musty smell; the house had been vacant for far too long and lacked any signs of life.

The furniture inside was all covered with thick white dust covers.

Chu Jin set down her backpack and opened all the windows in the house, allowing the air to circulate and making the smell inside a bit more pleasant.

Only then did Chu Jin lift the white dust cloths off the furniture, shaking them out and causing dust to fill the air in an instant.

"Cough, cough," She coughed uncontrollably as the dust filled the air around her.

Just then, her phone began to ring from inside her backpack. Chu Jin put down the dust cover and took out the white cellphone.

When she saw the caller ID, the coldness in her eyes slowly faded away, and the corners of her mouth lifted ever so slightly.

The incoming call was from Mo Zhixuan.

The man who had helped her several times, the one she had once been engaged to.

"Hello," Chu Jin slid to answer the call, her voice clear and revealing no signs of distress.

Hearing the girl’s unharmed voice, Mo Zhixuan’s heart finally settled, and he pressed his hand against his forehead, "Where are you now?"

Though his voice was as deep and cool as ever, warmth gradually emerged in his inscrutable phoenix eyes.

Zhou Xunian, sitting beside him, was completely stunned; he had never seen any other expression in Brother Nine’s eyes before. Today had certainly been an eye-opener.

It seemed that Brother Nine’s lady from the secular world was indeed extraordinary, capable not only of making Brother Nine drop his official duties without a second thought but also of causing him such concern.

The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Xunian looked forward to meeting this Sister-in-law.

To be able to bewitch Brother Nine to this extent...

She certainly must be no ordinary woman.

"...At home." Huagui Park was left to her by Chu Liyan, so it was rightly her home.

Chu Jin subconsciously looked around at the unfamiliar environment.

"At home?" Mo Zhixuan frowned slightly. He was already fully informed about the morning’s events at the Zhao family’s home, and upon hearing the news, he had immediately boarded his private jet to return from thousands of miles away in Z Country.

As soon as he landed, he instructed his driver to rush to the Zhao family’s house, but by the time they arrived, it was already deserted.

Chu Jin guessed he might know something about the situation and explained, "I’ve already left the Zhao family. I’m now in Huagui Park. Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"I’ll be right there." After hanging up, Mo Zhixuan instructed the driver in front, "Go to Huagui Park."

Zhou Xunian stroked his chin, his eyes brimming with eager anticipation.
