Chapter 229: 2029 Who is the murderer

“Director Chang, the matter I entrusted you with earlier?” After the Xia Family were gone, Xia Chuyi immediately turned and asked Chang Luhui.

“It’s been arranged.” Chang Luhui nodded and told her, “Follow me.”

Then, he took her and Huo Shiqian to the surveillance room where Xia Chengzong was—the room where she had arranged for Chang Luhui to plant a bug at Xia Chengzu’s place.

After a while, the public security also brought Xia Chengzong, who had been silent and uncooperative, to this location.

“Chuyi?” Seeing Xia Chuyi here, Xia Chengzong slightly lifted his eyelids, revealing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He then lowered his head, continuing his silence—not cooperating at all.

Xia Chuyi didn’t show any excess emotion; she knew well what kind of person her second brother was, and more words would be futile.

“Director Chang, thank you for your trouble,” she nodded and said to Chang Luhui.

“It’s no trouble,” Chang Luhui replied.

He then dismissed the unnecessary people from the room, and after fiddling with a machine, a “zzz” sound came out.

“Chengzu, you’ve really suffered!” Grandma Xia’s voice came through the speaker.

Amid sobs and affectionate calls that lasted quite a while.

Hearing the voice, Xia Chengzong was first taken aback, then he pursed his lips, listened indifferently, showing no reaction.

After a while of crying and greetings, Xia Chengzu’s voice came from the machine: “How did you all get in?”

Grandma Xia, probably wiping her tears, paused before replying, “It was arranged by the dead girl from the second son’s family.”

“Xia Chuyi?” Xia Chengzu exclaimed from the bug, “How could she have such capability?”

Grandma Xia answered, “Do you remember the senior officer who came to offer condolences before? It’s that person. I don’t know how that dead girl, Xia Chuyi, managed to get involved with him.”

“Eh, if Xia Chuyi has a thing with the Commander, maybe there’s a way to get me out?” Upon hearing this, Xia Chengzu hurriedly replied, excitement evident in his voice.

“It won’t work; you usually don’t get along with that dead girl, she won’t help!” Aunt Xia, uttering these words, sounded quite resentful.

“That dead girl…” Xia Chengzu paused, then started cursing.

The temperature in the surveillance room suddenly dropped.

Chang Luhui shivered, looking towards Huo Shiqian, who now only emitted an aura of chilling frost.

What does it mean to dig one’s own grave? This is exactly what the Xia Family was doing!

Looking sideways, Xia Chuyi appeared indifferent, as if she didn’t care at all.

But Xia Chengzong, listening to the conversations from the family device, his face full of embarrassment.

After a while, Xia Chengzu from the speaker said, “That dead girl, Xia Chuyi, I think she has a good relationship with the second son.”

“Otherwise, let the second son take the blame, and the police will naturally let me go.”

“After that, we can ask Xia Chuyi to plead with the officer to release him, can’t we?”

Xia Chengzu’s voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

Once these words were spoken, both inside and outside of the machine, there was dead silence.

Xia Chuyi finally couldn’t remain indifferent, looking towards her own second brother.

While Xia Chengzong clenched his teeth, his body trembling as slowly, anger rose in his eyes.

“Chengzu is making sense,” came Grandma Xia’s voice from the monitor.

“Head of the family, what do you think?” Grandma Xia’s voice then asked Aunt Xia.

After a long moment, the hesitant voice of Aunt Xia spoke, “Chengzu, Mom is asking you, who actually committed the murder? Was it you? If not, why are you asking Chengzong to take the blame?”
