Chapter 581: 567, Don’t Want to Go to Jail (1)_1 Chapter 581: 567, Don’t Want to Go to Jail (1)_1 Chu Yihen stared down at her with a cold gaze. “Chu Ruohan, be clear with me, what have you been up to behind my back in these past few days?” he demanded.

“I…” She fluttered at his icy stare.

“Now, tell me the truth!” Chu Yihen lost patience, and glanced at her ominously, “What did you do to Jian Qing?”

Hearing Jian Qing’s name over and over, a twinge of bitterness came over Chu Ruohan.

“Brother, can’t you stop bringing up Jian Qing? She has never appreciated your concern…”

Her low growl conveyed frustration and indignation.

“Slap––”

The unfinished sentence vanished under the loud sound of a slap.

“Yihen!”

Jiang Fan also jumped, his gaze landing worriedly on Chu Ruohan.

The palm of his hand slightly numb, Chu Yihen pulled back his hand, his eyes swirling with shadows and oddly chilling.

“What exactly have you been doing behind my back?”

He showed no mercy with that slap.

Chu Ruohan felt her ears buzzing, her pale cheek instantly swelling, turning a stark red that was glaringly obvious.

A wicked voice exploded in her ear, pulling her back from her drifting thoughts.

She lifted a hand to cover her burning cheek, tears welled up in her eyes, and she raised her head to look at Chu Yihen. “Brother, you hit me?”

From her childhood, she had always been the pearl in the palm of the Chu Family, and now her own brother had hit her for a woman who was already married.

“Chu Ruohan, tell me the truth now.” Chu Yihen ordered in a cold voice, and showed no pity for her tears.

“I sent someone to kill her, that’s the truth. Satisfied?” Chu Ruohan gritted out.

At her words, Chu Yihen’s eyes darkened ominously, his hand rose once more.

Chu Ruohan, seemingly resolved, raised her chin defiantly, “Strike me down then. Kill me if you must.”

“Yihen, don’t be impulsive.” Jiang Fan massaged her temples with a worried expression and quickly grabbed Chu Yihen’s hand. “Are you trying to provoke your brother?”

Chu Yihen shook off Jiang Fan’s hand and swiftly grabbed Chu Ruohan’s slender neck, with just a slight squeeze, her neck could be snapped in an instant.

“Huh––”

Chu Ruohan slouched, fear creeping into her features.

“Brother, what are you doing?”

“Yihen, stop! She’s your sister; you can’t do this!” Jiang Fan anxiously watched the two, attempting to pull Chu Yihen back but was pushed away.

“Brother, I’m your sister, you can’t kill me, you can’t.” Chu Ruohan tried to pry his hand off, but it only caused him to tighten his grip around her neck.

“Do you think you’d still be standing here if you weren’t my sister?” Chu Yihen said coldly, his eyes glowing with a chilling undertone.

“I…” Chu Ruohan choked, she caught Jiang Fan’s gaze and dared not provoke him any longer.

“Chu Ruohan, have we spoiled you too much? You’ve even stooped to hiring a hitman. What exactly is going on in your head? Have you considered the Chu Family’s reputation when you committed this act?” Chu Yihen gnashed his teeth in anger, wishing he could expel her from the Chu Family register.

How could he have such a foolish sister? Didn’t she know who Jian Qing was after all this time?

If this murder was traced back to her, even Chu Yihen and the entire Chu Family would not be able to save her. In fact, she might even have to pay with her life.

With this thought, the hand gripping her neck tightened.

“Yihen, let go of Ruohan! I’ll teach her a lesson. Now it’s crucial that we deal with the car accident first. Send someone to the police to find out who the captured man is. If he implicates Ruohan, our Chu Family could also be involved.” Jiang Fan looked at Chu Ruohan, whose face was turning purple, and quickly grabbed Chu Yihen’s arm.

“Let go of Ruohan first, you’re choking her to death.”

Chu Yihen glanced at Chu Ruohan, who was gasping for breath, sneered, then let go of her abruptly.

“Cough, cough, cough––”

Chu Ruohan collapsed on the ground, a ring of purple bruises visible on her pale neck.

Chu Yihen picked up his cell phone, walked around her, and headed out to the patio to make a call.

“Ruohan!”

The second he left, Jiang Fan squatted down to inspect the injury on her neck.

“Mother!”

Chu Ruohan burst into her mother’s arms and began to cry.

She had really thought she was going to die at the hands of her brother just now. It was all Jian Qing’s fault, it was all her fault, her dearly loved brother was even contemplating killing her.

“Why do you always get into trouble?” Jiang Fan gently patted her back, her eyes filled with helplessness.

“Don’t you know that it’s a crime? If the truth about this comes out, your life would be over, and our Chu Family will be in the eye of a storm. How could you be so careless?”

At that moment, Chu Yihen returned from the call, an air of oppression surrounding him.

“Yihen, what’s the news?”

Jiang Fan looked up at him, her heart pounding.

“The man has been taken into custody. Quan Jingwu has contacted the police.” Chu Yihen announced gravely.

The moment Quan Jingwu interfered, it became clear that the man must be the killer Chu Ruohan had hired.

At this, Chu Ruohan abruptly lifted her head and clutched Chu Yihen’s leg.

“Brother, you have to help me. I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t want to die. Please help me. I’ll obey you from now on. I won’t dare do it again.”

She stammered, almost out of her mind with fear.

The person must have been arrested, otherwise why would Quan Jingwu intervene in the matter out of nowhere? Jian Qing hadn’t died, then what would happen to her?

She doesn’t want to go to jail, she, the high and mighty miss of the Chu Family, absolutely cannot go to jail. She won’t let that happen.

Chu Yihen looked down at her from his towering height, a scornful smile creeping up his lips.

Chu Yihen asked himself why she hadn’t listened to his many warnings and dared to go behind his back and do such a thing. Now that Quan Jingwu had taken custody of the person, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t silently eliminate the person.

“I can’t help you with this.” His icy words fell into Chu Ruohan’s ears, a devastating blow.

She clung even more tightly to his leg, her gaze filled with fear, “No, brother, you can’t just stand by and watch me go to jail. You must help me, won’t you?”

“Yihen, you should help Ruohan one more time. If this matter is exposed, the prestige of the Chu Family will inevitably be affected.” Jiang Fan pleaded on her behalf.

Chu Yihen glanced over both of them, an odd look flashing in his eyes, he shrugged off Chu Ruohan’s hand and walked out without another word.

“Brother!” Watching him walk away, Chu Ruohan clumsily got up to follow.
