Chapter 726: Gradually Warping Psychology

Police station.

“Shaochen.”

Upon seeing Xu Shaochen, Xie Wei immediately threw herself into his arms.

“It’s alright, it’s alright. Everything’s fine now.”

Xu Shaochen gently patted her back to comfort her.

After Xie Wei’s emotions stabilized, Xu Shaochen let go of her and walked towards Hou Xiaoyan, whose eyes were red from crying.

“Chairman Xu, you must save Tianwen. If you don’t save him, he’s doomed.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen approach, Hou Xiaoyan begged as if she had seen her last hope.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get him out.”

Looking at the anxious Hou Xiaoyan, Xu Shaochen sighed inwardly. She clearly cared so much about Deng Tianwen, yet pretended to be annoyed.

Women, they’re truly complicated.

“Young Master Xu, the Police said those Cars all had fake plates. It might take some time to solve the case.”

Zhao Li and Liang Huan came over. They had just gone to get information from the Police officers.

“Help me find them.”

Xu Shaochen said, then took out his Phone and dialed Chen Ju’s number.

With the Chen Family’s influence in Jingcheng, it should be easier to find them. At the very least, they could ensure cooperation between various departments.

When Chen Ju received Xu Shaochen’s call, he was in the middle of being scolded.

…

Ten minutes earlier, at the Chen Family residence.

Chen Ling had reported to the family about Chen Ju taking Xu Shaochen to see Old Master Chen.

“Chen Ju, explain yourself.”

Chen Gu, the head of the Chen Family and Chen Ju’s father, looked displeased.

Everyone knew that the old master was in his twilight years. Unless the sky was falling, no one was allowed to disturb him.

But Chen Ju not only went, he also brought someone with him. This was a deliberate offense.

“Uncle, what else can he say? He must be severely punished for doing such a thing. Otherwise, won’t anyone be able to disturb the old master?”

Chen Ling sneered. His face was bandaged like a mummy, looking quite ridiculous.

“That’s right, Uncle. Big Brother is supposed to be the next head of our Chen Family. Not only does he fail to set an example, but he also knowingly violates rules. If we don’t punish him severely, it won’t be right.”

“We can’t say that. Didn’t Big Brother say Grandfather called for him? Big Brother wouldn’t lie about that.”

“Hmph! We believe Grandfather wanted to see him, but to say Grandfather also invited an outsider? That’s simply ridiculous.”

At once, the living room was filled with noisy arguments. It was all the third generation arguing; none of the uncles said a word.

Chen Ling’s eyes were full of schadenfreude. Chen Ju, oh Chen Ju, let’s see how you get out of this one.

And that lackey who hit me today, this young master will eventually tear him to pieces.

“Chen Ju, speak!”

Chen Gu shouted sternly.

Back to the present.

“Ring ring ring…”

Chen Ju’s Phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Xu Shaochen calling. He quickly answered and his expression changed upon hearing the voice on the Phone.

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll check on it right away.”

He hung up the Phone and looked around. “Dad, uncles, I said Grandfather wanted to see him. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Grandfather yourself. I have something to attend to, I’m leaving first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to walk out of the living room.

“How dare you!”

Chen Ling shouted angrily, blocking Chen Ju. “Chen Ju! Do you have any respect for the uncles present? You’re already so arrogant before becoming the family head. If you really become the head, will you still tolerate us?”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Telling us to ask Grandfather? You know very well we can’t possibly disturb him, that’s why you said that, right? You’re really fearless!”

“That’s right, you get a Phone call and ignore us. What, are you going to save the world?”

“This is utterly disrespectful…”

“What do you mean? Big Brother isn’t that kind of person!”

The living room erupted into arguments again. Those supporting Chen Ju and those against him seemed ready to fight at any moment.

The uncles still didn’t speak, because if they did, it would seem like they were bullying the younger generation, which would be embarrassing.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling could barely hold back his laughter. He decided to add fuel to the fire.

“Chen Ju! Stop making excuses. What status does Grandfather have? How could he possibly meet some random nobody from who knows where?”

“Tap tap tap tap…”

Just then, footsteps were heard approaching.

Everyone turned to look at the entrance almost simultaneously.

A slender female nurse walked into the living room.

“Mr. Chen, the old master asked me to inform you that he did request to see Mr. Xu. The eldest young master was just following his instructions.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse turned and left, ignoring the shocked expressions of everyone present.

She held a special status in the Chen Family, and her identity was also unique. She was only here because she took care of the old master.

Everyone in the Chen Family treated her with utmost respect.

As the nurse walked away, those who had been targeting Chen Ju turned pale, wishing they could dig a hole and bury themselves.

Their gazes towards Chen Ling were almost murderous.

This bastard!

He dared to speak so boldly without clarifying the situation, and even dragged us into it. Damn!

Chen Ling’s face was also filled with disbelief, but because of the bandages, no one could see his expression.

“Bang!”

Chen Ju raised his foot and kicked Chen Ling to the ground, saying coldly, “This is the last time I’ll tolerate you.”

After speaking, Chen Ju walked out of the living room without looking back, making a Phone call as he went.

“Uncle! Uncle, did you see that? He… he hit me in front of everyone! Isn’t that too arrogant?”

Chen Ling staggered to his feet, looking at Chen Gu and speaking through gritted teeth.

In an instant, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

“Slap!”

Before Chen Gu could speak, a middle-aged man stood up and slapped Chen Ling hard across the face.

“Ah!”

Even through the bandages, Chen Ling cried out in pain.

“You bastard! Haven’t you embarrassed us enough? Go back to your room immediately and reflect on your actions!”

The middle-aged man scolded viciously. He felt that this unfilial son had completely disgraced him.

If they had really caught Chen Ju doing something wrong, it would have been different. But now, it had turned out like this, making him lose face.

Chen Ling held his face, looking at his father, wanting to speak but not daring to say anything.

“I’m sorry, Big Brother. We’ve made a spectacle of ourselves. It’s all because I didn’t teach this unfilial son well.”

The middle-aged man turned to Chen Gu, his face full of shame.

“I knew Chen Ju wasn’t that kind of person. I watched him grow up.”

“That’s right. Chen Ling, be more careful next time. Don’t create such misunderstandings again.”

“Well said…”

Hearing these words, Chen Ling clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, his fingernails digging into his palms.

His heart was filled with resentment.
