Chapter 220: Chu Li's Affair, Left to Cheng Wan to Handle
The death of Chu Li was too sudden.
After a brief period of grief, interests became the core issue.
Chu Yue walked up to Old Master Chu, "Dad, A Li is suddenly gone, and the affairs of the group are still waiting for you to make the decisions."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chu cursed Chu Yue like a madwoman; after all, Chu Li had just died, and for Chu Yue to say such things was truly cold-blooded.
Chu Yue stood up, a flash of contempt in her eyes, "A Li is gone, but the entire group must still operate. So many people are still waiting to eat; are you suggesting we use everyone's rice bowls to be buried with A Li?"
Madam Chu did not care about these reasons; her son was dead, but these people were only concerned with their own interests.
"Was it you who killed A Li?"
Her personality was sharp and direct, and as she questioned this, her voice was exceptionally shrill.
Chu Yue was quite angry, and her gaze toward Madam Chu was cold, "I call you sister-in-law out of respect for A Li; it is me doing you a favor, not an invitation for you to throw a tantrum here with me."
"As for A Li's death, Dad will naturally have people investigate it clearly; what are you babbling about here?" Chu Yue's words were sharp, her expression one of complete disdain for Madam Chu.
Wrapped in hatred, Madam Chu became increasingly agitated, "Before, when A Li was in a coma, you all wanted to commit fraud and transfer the shares out. It was thanks to Wanwan being here that you didn't succeed; perhaps this is your method of retaliation."
"You... are spouting nonsense." Chu Yue's chest heaved, her face flushed red.
She turned her head to look at Old Master Chu, "Dad, this matter regarding A Li must be investigated clearly. I think it should be handed to Big Brother; Big Brother is A Li's father, and he will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly."
Chu Bolin agreed, "Yes, Dad, if you hand this matter to me, I will definitely investigate the cause of A Li's death and give the Chu family an explanation."
He was naturally a person of gentle and jade-like appearance, and at this moment, with his head lowered, he appeared even more humble.
"Wanwan." Old Master Chu was very weak, his voice small, but everyone present heard it.
There were tears in Cheng Wan's eyes: "Grandfather, I am here."
Old Master Chu gripped her hand tightly, "A Li's matter, I leave it to you to be responsible for; you must find the murderer."
"No." Chu Yue was the first to object; she restrained the anger in her heart, trying her best to make her voice sound less shrill.
"Dad, Cheng Wan has already divorced A Li, and besides, she is still young; how can this matter be handed to her?"
Chu Bolin also disagreed, both feeling that Cheng Wan was young and simply could not shoulder this heavy responsibility.
Cheng Wan's eyes were still red, and she had no expression, "Grandfather, I promise you, I will definitely find the murderer."
"Cheng Wan, don't think too highly of yourself." Chu Yue warned.
Old Master Chu coughed a few times and said slowly: "Assistant Wu will help you."
Assistant Wu stepped forward and stood beside Cheng Wan, "Miss Cheng, please rest assured, I will definitely do my utmost."
With Old Master Chu's word, she could basically mobilize all the resources of the Chu family.
Even if it meant selling the Chu Group, it could be done.
Chu Yue glanced at Chu Bolin, feeling extremely angry.
The old master would rather trust an outsider than his own biological daughter.
He was truly senile.
But no one could change the old master's decision.
After making these arrangements, Old Master Chu's spirit became even more listless.
"Butler, send the old master and Madam back." Cheng Wan instructed.
The butler nodded and took Old Master Chu and Madam Chu away.
Cheng Wan looked at Chu Yue and Chu Bolin, "The two of you, please leave here as well."
Her tone was icy, completely lacking the politeness one should show elders; to her, Chu Yue and Chu Bolin were merely strangers.
Chu Yue looked down on Cheng Wan and frowned, "Cheng Wan, regarding A Li's matter, let Big Brother assist you; he is A Li's father after all, he should contribute some effort."
"No need."
Cheng Wan instructed Assistant Wu to send people to guard Chu Li's body, then turned and went to the dean's office.
For Chu Li's death, the Yiyuan had to take full responsibility; the dean could not sit still at all and had long since brought the relevant people to the office for questioning.
Soon, he also had his own calculations.
After waiting and waiting, for over half an hour, Cheng Wan finally appeared.
Appearing with her were two police officers.
The dean was shocked; he knew Cheng Wan was responsible for investigating this matter, but why had the police come?
Cheng Wan said indifferently: "I don't know how to investigate cases, so I specifically invited two police comrades to help."
"This..." Sweat seeped out on the dean's forehead.
Assistant Wu had already brought people to guard the entrance of the office, allowing no one to enter or leave.
The police began their questioning.
Cheng Wan stood by the window, keeping every answer in her mind, analyzing them extremely quickly.
The problem with Chu Li occurred after the third bottle of medication was administered.
Next was checking the surveillance footage.
In the car at the parking lot.
Chu Yue's expression was exceptionally cold and stern, even somewhat twisted.
Chu Bolin clenched his fists tightly, his voice sounding as if it were squeezed out from between his teeth, "You killed him."
Chu Yue sneered, "The one who killed him was you."
She looked at her brother, her voice containing a hint of schadenfreude, "After all, it was you who found the people."
"You said you were only letting him stay in the Yiyuan for a few more days."
"I did say that, but what you told the people you found, I wouldn't know."
"You did it on purpose." Chu Bolin had already realized.
Chu Yue had wanted to kill Chu Li from the very beginning, so she deliberately instigated him.
"I will tell Dad that you are the real culprit." Chu Bolin turned his head and was about to get out of the car.
"Go ahead, the culprit will only be you anyway." Chu Yue smiled indifferently.
She had already made arrangements long ago.
Chu Bolin slowly pulled his hand back, looking at his younger sister with a very strange gaze for the first time.
"What exactly do you want?"
Chu Yue's voice was very calm, "I want to contend for the Chu family."
"Impossible."
"What is impossible about it? Look, Chu Li is already dead, and Dad is old and doesn't have many days left to live. Or do you think Dad will hand the Chu Group over to Cheng Wan? Even if he gave it to Cheng Wan, can Cheng Wan hold onto it?"
Chu Yue was incomparably confident; now that the greatest threat was gone, the Chu Group would definitely be hers.
So what if the Old Master valued Cheng Wan? Cheng Wan did not have that capability.
Only then did Chu Bolin realize that Chu Yue's ambition was actually this great.
"Big Brother, we are now grasshoppers on the same boat. Are you sure you want to watch the Chu Group be given to someone else?" Chu Yue coaxed him step by step.
Chu Bolin had spent his whole life eating, drinking, and playing; when it came to major matters, he was completely muddled.
At this moment, his mind was in a state of chaos.
Other than listening to Chu Yue's words, he did not know what else he should do.
Chu Yue saw everything in her eyes, so she promised many benefits again; if the vast assets of the entire Chu Group were split in half, Chu Bolin would have enough to squander for several lifetimes.
He believed Chu Yue's words once again.
Cheng Wan stayed at the Yiyuan for a day and only left the Yiyuan at eight o'clock in the evening.
The police took the statements and surveillance footage to the Police Station.
This is an era of rapid information development; surveillance is everywhere. As long as the surveillance can be found, everything will be brought to light.
