Chapter 819: No One Lied
by xennovelAccording to Xu Shaochen’s orders.
Chen Ju brought a large pile of evidence to the Su Family.
“Chen, what are you doing here? The Su Family doesn’t welcome you!”
In the Su Family living room, Su Zhaoming coldly stared at Chen Ju.
Of course, he said this to purposely disgust Chen Ju; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let him in at all.
“Heh, Su Zhaoming, I advise you to calm down a bit. After all, your good days are numbered.” Chen Ju sneered at Su Zhaoming, with a mocking look in his eyes.
Really, this guy must have lost his mind to dare to avenge Xu Shaochen. Fortunately, he failed; otherwise, the Su Family would have been wiped out from Jingcheng by now.
Su Zhaoming frowned: “Chen, stop talking in circles. What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Chen Ju looked even more sarcastic, ignoring him and instead turned to Su Tianwen, who had been silent on the sofa: “I’m not here on my own behalf. I’m representing Young Master Xu. He wants to hear your explanation.”
With that, he threw the stack of evidence onto the table.
“What is this?”
A bad feeling crept up Su Zhaoming’s heart.
Su Tianwen glanced at Chen Ju and then began flipping through the evidence. As he read, his face gradually darkened.
He already knew about last night’s incident.
His face was gloomy now because while Su Zhaoming did it, he still got caught. This wasn’t just harmful to others, but also to themselves. “Dad…”
Looking at the evidence, Su Zhaoming started to panic. This shouldn’t have happened. There shouldn’t be such a low-level mistake.
He had prepared everything perfectly, so where did this stuff come from? He had never suspected Su Zhaoqun.
In other words, if something went wrong with the Su Family, no one would suspect Su Zhaoqun.
Because he did everything orderly, never showing off, always willing to help, like a supporting role. He was only concerned about the family.
How could anyone suspect someone like him?
Su Tianwen gave him a cold glance and tossed the evidence back onto the table, then looked up at Chen Ju: “What does Young Master Xu mean by this?”
“Master Su, isn’t your question a bit absurd? Young Master Xu is asking what you mean. Do you want to eliminate him or do you want to challenge Xu Corporation?”
Chen Ju looked at Su Tianwen with a mocking smile. He was thoroughly enjoying the feeling of questioning someone like Su Tianwen at the Su Family estate.
In simple terms, it felt fantastic to act so confidently under the protection of a more powerful figure.
“Chen Ju, stop twisting things. The Su Family never had such intentions, neither in the past nor in the future!”
Su Tianwen scolded angrily. Being looked down upon by a junior like Chen Ju made his blood boil.
But what could he do? Chen Ju was representing Xu Shaochen, so he had to treat him carefully.
Chen Ju sneered, pointing to the evidence on the table: “You’re certainly speaking confidently, but what about this? Do you think Young Master Xu will believe you?”
“This…” Su Tianwen’s face flickered as he glanced at Su Zhaoming.
“Dad…” Su Zhaoming looked at him pitifully, completely terrified.
Seeing his son’s pathetic expression, Su Tianwen was furious. He coldly said: “All of this was done by Su Zhaoming on his own and has nothing to do with the Su Family. I will certainly severely punish this ungrateful son as an explanation to Young Master Xu.”
“Dad!” Su Zhaoming looked at him in disbelief.
“Shut up!” Su Tianwen roared.
Though frustration burned in Su Zhaoming’s heart, he could only remain silent.
Chen Ju, meanwhile, pressed his advantage: “An explanation? I wonder what kind of explanation that will be. The sooner you clarify, Master Su, the sooner I can report it to the school.”
He paused for a moment, then smirked wickedly: “Last night, five people were caught carrying guns. If this explanation doesn’t satisfy Young Master Xu, things could get very troublesome.”
Su Zhaoming’s eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this. After a long moment, he cursed: “Chen, you’re speaking nonsense. You’ll go to any lengths to frame me, huh? I’d have to be insane to have guns involved when I clearly told them to only carry batons!”
He was furious. He remembered clearly instructing them not to bring guns. How could there be five people carrying them? Clearly, Chen Ju was framing him, fueling his burning anger.
Chen Ju was also surprised, because he had spoken the truth. But now, it seemed like Su Zhaoming genuinely didn’t know about this.
Or maybe, he was just stubbornly denying it? Thinking this, Chen Ju sneered: “Say whatever you want. If it makes you happy, go ahead.”
“Chen Ju…” Seeing Chen Ju openly framing him, Su Zhaoming was driven mad with rage.
“Enough! Shut up!”
Su Tianwen interrupted sharply, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Then, he reopened his eyes and said coldly: “Starting today, Su Zhaoming is under house arrest for a year. Also, he will receive thirty lashes in a little while.”
He also believed that Su Zhaoming was lying, and it made him furious.
At this point, it would be much more respectable to openly admit everything.
Yet, he was still shamelessly denying it, utterly embarrassing himself.
“Dad! I really didn’t let anyone bring guns!”
Su Zhaoming was sweating profusely. If he were placed under house arrest for a year, his position in the family would plummet.
In fact, neither Su Zhaoming nor Chen Ju was lying. Su Zhaoming hadn’t let anyone bring guns, and Chen Ju really found five guns on people.
Someone had tampered with things, aiming to utterly destroy Su Zhaoming, leaving him no chance to recover.
“Get out!”
Su Tianwen shouted angrily.
Though Su Zhaoming was extremely unwilling, he eventually stormed out of the living room, giving Chen Ju a hostile glance as he left.
“Master Su, take care of your health. Be cautious, or you might die from anger. If that happens, you just helped send off my grandfather recently; I might have to come back soon to return the favor for you.”
“Enough. I will pass this explanation on to Young Master Xu. Whether he’s satisfied or not is up to him.”
Chen Ju said this with a smile, feigning concern for Su Tianwen’s health, before turning and striding out of the living room.
Watching the now-empty living room, Su Tianwen suddenly felt exhausted and let out a long sigh.
………
Meanwhile, on the other side.
As soon as Su Zhaoming left the living room, Su Zhaoqun pulled him aside.
“Zhaoming, what happened? Why did Chen Ju come here? And from the sound of it, Uncle seems really angry.”
In a garden within the Su Family estate, Su Zhaoqun asked curiously.
“Damn it, Brother Qun, don’t bring it up. Just thinking about it pisses me off. That dog Chen Ju framed me, but what’s worse is that my dad actually believed him.”
Su Zhaoming angrily recounted the entire situation.
