201 You Don’t Have The Qualifications to Talk About Liking Her

Help her to eat the mala soup here?

Was he referring to ‘her’?

518?

…That shouldn’t be.

Back then in the organization, Dugu Xiao loved to go against 518 in all possible ways. The two of them were also competing to get the boss’s position. After losing, he felt unwilling and orchestrated an explosion to kill 518 and seize her position.

Even now, he found a group of women to masquerade as 518, so he could scold or hit them in his villa. All of these were done to humiliate 518…

But other than 518, could it be that he still had other friends in China?

Dugu Xiao didn’t answer Chu Cichen. He only lowered his head and started eating.

After finishing the extremely spicy mala soup, sweat could be seen on his forehead. He then placed the chopsticks down and wiped his mouth. He smiled mockingly when he noticed that Chu Cichen’s bowl was untouched. “That’s true, you are a young master of an influential family after all, completely different from people like 518 and me. How can you be willing to eat something like this…?”

Back then in the organization, although Chu Cichen was masked, his aura of nobility was still clear to all.

When Dugu Xiao and 518 were out on a mission, they didn’t care about their images. He still recalled that there was once when the three of them joined forces for a mission and they stayed in a dilapidated guesthouse.

Back then, although Chu Cichen didn’t say anything or grumble, his gaze that was filled with contempt caused him and 518 to laugh. After that, Dugu Xiao and 518 playfully teased him by addressing him as ‘young master’.

It seemed as though everything was just yesterday. The scenes then flashed across his mind and caused his baleful gaze to regain a few hints of calmness and longing.

But as the sound of his voice rang out, Chu Cichen abruptly moved forward and grabbed Dugu Xiao by his collar. “You are not qualified to mention her.”

The butler standing at the door immediately rushed in, but Chu Cichen’s bodyguards were also ready for action. They charged out from the crowd and quickly surrounded the butler.

The boss was so scared that he trembled. His voice quivered. “S…Sirs, we can always talk things out. L.. let’s not destroy my store…”

Dugu Xiao’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t want her favorite food store to be destroyed by his hands, so he lifted his hands and spoke, “527, calm down. Don’t destroy his store.”

Chu Cichen stared at him before commanding his guards, “Get out!”

Dugu Xiao also spoke to his butler, “Go out.”

The guards and the butler left, and the atmosphere here once again regained silence.

Dugu Xiao then looked at Chu Cichen. His frivolous voice seemed slightly suppressed, and there were traces of sullenness. “Why can’t I mention 518? You should clearly know that 518 didn’t die in my hands!”

The relationship between him and 518 was that of teammates and competitors.

On a mission, they were like bros that could share life and death together.

But after returning to the organization, they were competitors for the position of the organization’s head.

518 had been the one who wasn’t clear about their relationship. She had thought that he was her friend and that he wouldn’t harm her… Back then, Dugu Xiao had designed an explosion and the situation was clearly riddled with flaws. No one would have fallen for it. But for some reason, 518 actually died without a full corpse.

Chu Cichen tensed his chin. “It is because I knew that that you could still live up until now.”

Otherwise, he would have long since found an opportunity to kill Dugu Xiao!

Dugu Xiao lowered his eyelids. “I know that you have been searching for the person who created the No. 5 Neurotoxin all these years. Do you have an answer now?”

Chu Cichen trembled slightly. A moment later, he released his grasp on Dugu Xiao’s collar and took out a piece of tissue to wipe his hands. “…No.”

Dugu Xiao sharply sensed something. When he lowered his head and looked at Chu Cichen, he spoke with a tone filled with certainty, “You found out the identity of the person.”

“No.” Chu Cichen resolved to stick with his answer.

Dugu Xiao sneered. He sat up straight and mocked, “527, didn’t you keep defending the creator back then when the three of us were discussing whether that person should die or not? Now that 518 died because of this poison, do you still want to protect the creator? I thought you have always liked 518. Is this what you mean by liking her?”

Chu Cichen tensed and his tall figure stood opposite Dugu Xiao. “In this world, you are the one with the least qualifications to talk about liking someone.”

Dugu Xiao sat down and leaned back on the simple-looking chair. He lifted his chin and his baleful gaze was filled with mocking. “I don’t have the qualifications? Do you have them then? You despise me because I got many women to masquerade as her, but what about you? You also found Miss Shen as her replacement because they are very similar. All the women in my villa cannot even be compared to a single her!…”

“Bang!”

Chu Cichen abruptly punched out, aiming for Dugu Xiao’s face. However, Dugu Xiao had long anticipated this. He stretched his hand out to block the fist, but he could feel a dull aching pain at the point of contact.

Dugu Xiao smiled even wider and revealed a malicious look. “Yo, are you growing angry from embarrassment? Do you mean that I’m correct? You found a replacement now, so you no longer intend to take revenge for 518? No, this is wrong. You liked her so much back then, and you investigated the identity of the No. 5 Neurotoxin’s creator for so many years. Yet now, you suddenly don’t want revenge…”

Dugu Xiao stood up suddenly and his gaze was like a knife, sharply looking at Chu Cichen. “You found out who the person is, but you don’t want to kill them?!”

Chu Cichen fell silent for some time before speaking with determination in his voice, “The murderer is the person who administered the poison and not the person who created it!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, Dugu Xiao coldly laughed. “However, 518 had a poison-detoxification pill. If it wasn’t for the No.5 Neurotoxin, she wouldn’t have died! In that case, the one sitting in my position now would be her!”

Also, no one knew whom 518 met before she died. The other party had removed all evidence and made it appear as though 518 poisoned herself…

Since Dugu Xiao couldn’t find the person who administered the poison, he had to kill the person who created it!

Dugu Xiao walked around the table and got close to Chu Cichen. “Killing the person who created the poison was 518’s long-cherished wish! She once said countless times that she would kill the creator. Yet now, you want to protect that person? 527, compared to me, you are even less qualified to talk about liking her.”

The two of them then parted unhappily.

Chu Cichen walked out of the store and turned back to look at that bowl of untouched clear mala soup. He then retracted his gaze and returned to his car in the parking lot.

The car engine started and he soon arrived home.

Just when he entered the house, Matriarch Chu rushed over and spoke anxiously, “What happened to Jingjing? Did you make her angry? Earlier, she got the servants to pack her luggage for her and said that she would come by another day to pick up her luggage…”

Chu Cichen directly interrupted her. “Find someone to send it over to her. In the future, she won’t be coming here anymore.”

Matriarch Chu. “?”

She frowned and solemnly spoke, “Cichen, I don’t know what happened between you guys, but you have to think through this carefully. It is easy to chase someone away, but it will be extremely difficult to get them to come back in the future.”

Chu Cichen’s eyes were very dark. “Me and her won’t have a future.”

“…” Matriarch Chu choked. She then continued, “Are you sure? Little Meng and Little Ye were brought up by her. If you really had a fallout, she would fight for the children’s custody, and we won’t have any advantage. In addition, do you think someone like Jingjing would give up on the children? What do you think will happen to the children if their parents become hostile to each other? How will the children respond? Can’t you be more amiable for the children’s sake?”

Chu Cichen was finally stumped after hearing these words.

However, his mind recalled the sentence spoken by Dugu Xiao – ‘Compared to me, you are even less qualified to talk about liking her.’

He clenched his fists and spoke with resolve, “Impossible.”

After speaking, he headed up and went right to his study.

Chu Xiaomeng was still waiting for him there.
