Chapter 1518: Chapter 1519: Did You Do It?
Jiang Chenyue was a bit calmer than him, just frowned and gestured to stop the person who was getting angry, "Donât rush, let me figure out whatâs going on first."
"Aunt, he dared to directly take action against the Chu Familyâs people, even sending âevidenceâ to our doorstep. This is outrageous, I canât pretend it didnât happen! Otherwise, who would respect the Chu Family in the future?" Qin Jun clenched his fists in anger.
Jiang Chenyue rubbed her brow, "I just think he wouldnât act without a reason. Iâll make a call and ask."
The atmosphere in the dining room was tense, and Chu Xi didnât dare to speak recklessly.
She watched as Jiang Chenyue made a call to Li Shengxiao. After the call, her expression grew darker and uglier, until by the end when she hung up, her face was as grim as it could be.
Qin Jun rarely saw her looking so grim. His attention had been focused on Li Shengxiaoâs provocative âgift,â but now he couldnât help but ask, "Aunt, whatâs wrong?"
Jiang Chenyueâs temples were pulsing. She took a deep breath and said to Qin Jun, "You should go back to your room first."
"?"
There was a fierce look in her eyes, and she heightened her tone, "Are you not listening to me anymore?"
"How could I not listen to you?" Qin Jun reluctantly slid away from his seat, gave her a glance, and said, "Iâll go back to my room. Call me if you need anything, Aunt."
"Mm."
Before leaving, Qin Jun shot a look towards Chu Xi, a mix of warning and confusion, but since Jiang Chenyue told him to go, he didnât procrastinate and dutifully went upstairs back to his room.
"You all leave too!"
The butler and servants discreetly exited the dining room.
Once everyone had left and she was alone, Chu Xiâs heart was racing. An unshakeable sense of unease caused her to stand up instinctively, anxiously looking at the woman whose face had been dark and brooding from the start, "...Mrs. Jiang."
Jiang Chenyue fixed her with an oppressive gaze, as if she didnât recognize her, making Chu Xi feel a chill on her scalp. Her expression became increasingly guilty, "Whatâs wrong? Mrs. Jiang. Why are you staring at me like that?"
Jiang Chenyue said nothing, staring at her for a full five minutes. During those five minutes, Chu Xi felt like she was on a burning rack, restless and uncomfortable.
She wanted to ask several times, but under the oppressive atmosphere, she couldnât open her mouth at all.
She could only stand there, letting Jiang Chenyue stare at her.
After five minutes, the person with the stoic expression finally spoke, "Was it you?"
"Uh. What?" Chu Xi felt completely bewildered, having no clue what she was talking about.
Jiang Chenyueâs expression darkened as she squinted, "Iâm asking you, was it you who arranged for Rong Yan to be kidnapped?"
Chu Xi blurted out, "She was kidnapped?"
The joy in her eyes hadnât faded when she realized Jiang Chenyue was suspecting her. Her heart instantly turned cold, and she quickly shook her head to deny it, "I didnât know she was kidnapped. She was actually kidnapped? Thatâs really unlucky. The security in Capital City is so good, she must have offended someone, right?"
Jiang Chenyue sneered, curling her lips as if she didnât believe her words, "Yes. She offended someone. Do you know whose human skin Li Shengxiao just sent to me?"
Chu Xiâs heart skipped, and unease began to creep over her, "Whose?"
"From Chu Liuqi, the person by your fatherâs side, the skin from his arm."
All the elites in the Chu Family were numbered, and their numbers were their names. The one next to Chu Feng was number 67, hence called Chu Liuqi.
