203 Searching for the Mystery

Chu Cichen stared ahead.

That strange idea popped into his head once again.

Could Shen Ruojing be…518?

During these few days, he kept seeing 518’s shadow on her.

But she and 518 were clearly two different people.

518 loved drinking as much as her life, but Shen Ruojing didn’t want to drink a single drop…

518 was filled with initiative, but Shen Ruojing only wanted to retire…

518 had a fiery personality, while Shen Ruojing was as calm as water…

They were clearly two different people, but if 518 was the No. 5 Neurotoxin’s creator, her subsequent actions made sense and had a logical explanation.

Chu Cichen’s breathing suddenly became hurried.

He felt that this was very incredible.

518 had clearly died, and he could confirm this point. This was because remnants of her corpse were discovered after that explosion. Hence, no matter how doubtful he was before this, he had never thought in this direction.

In addition, if she was still alive, why didn’t she come and look for him during these years?

Although he had never seen her true appearance before, she had seen him unmasked once…She clearly recognized him, so why didn’t she look for him to be reacquainted?

Why did she have to weave a lie about them having half a year of romance…

These doubts kept mashing together in his mind, and he couldn’t understand her intentions no matter what.

He also didn’t know if he should persist in his doubts.

He abruptly stood up and recalled Chu Xiaomeng saying that she wanted to show him an old item that belonged to Shen Ruojing. Back then, because Dugu Xiao suspected his identity, he directly got out of the car to look for Dugu Xiao…

After thinking of this, Chu Cichen stood up and strode out with large steps, directly heading to Chu Xiaomeng’s room.

When he pushed the door open, he slowed down his steps and quietly walked to her bed. Just when he was preparing to check if she was sleeping, he saw that no one was on the bed with the aid from the moonlight streaming in from the windows!

Chu Cichen frowned.

He walked out and asked a butler, “Where is Xiaomeng? Is she sleeping with the Matriarch?”

The butler hesitated and didn’t dare to speak.

The Matriarch got her to send the children to Shen Ruojing and even told her not to speak about it. But now that Chu Cichen was asking, how would she dare to lie?

Chu Cichen frowned and unhappily took two steps toward Matriarch Chu’s bedroom, wanting to knock on the door. However, he stopped in the end and directly headed to Chu Tianye’s room instead.

Since Xiaomeng knew about Shen Ruojing’s old item, Chu Tianye would definitely know as well.

But when he arrived in Chu Tianye’s room, he discovered after pushing the door open that…Chu Tianye was missing too?

He then turned and walked toward Chu Yu’s room and as expected, Chu Yu wasn’t there either!

He quickly left the room to look for the butler. “Where did the three children go?”

The butler still didn’t dare to speak.

At this moment, Matriarch Chu’s room door opened. “Don’t make things difficult for her.”

The butler heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left.

Only Chu Cichen and Matriarch Chu remained in the corridor.

Chu Cichen asked, “Where did the three children go?”

Matriarch Chu casually replied, “I sent them to be with Jing Jing.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“…” Chu Cichen fell silent for a moment before he frowned and asked, “Why did you do so? They are children of the Chu Family. Don’t you want them?”

Matriarch Chu sneered. “They are indeed children of our family, but they were borne by Jing Jing. Are you claiming credit just because one of your sperms succeeded?”

Chu Cichen furrowed his brows.

Upon hearing the two of them quarreling, Chu Cimo who had just moved back silently opened his door, but he didn’t dare to come out. He peeked his head out with two of his hands holding onto the door. “Mother, your words are incorrect. How can my big bro only contribute a sperm?”

Matriarch Chu was badly angered. “What else did he contribute then? I raised Chu Yu, while Tianye and Xiaomeng were raised by Jing Jing! What about him? Did he give them money? Do we lack the money? Chu Cimo, you ingrate. You actually want to help him speak out?”

Chu Cimo quickly waved his hands. “No, I…”

“What about you? None of you are good people, allowing your children to be brought up by single women. Do you want to treat Miss Bai the same way too?”

“…Mother, I was wrong. I really don’t mean things this way. What I meant was…” Chu Cimo finally managed to complete his sentence after Matriarch Chu stopped talking. “How could my big bro possibly only shoot out a single sperm? He clearly shot three out!”

“…” Matriarch Chu.

“…” Chu Cichen.

After Chu Cimo finished speaking, he quickly shrank his neck back and closed his door as he didn’t wish to be implicated.

In the future, he would change his habit of watching good shows!

Everyone in the corridor fell silent for a moment. Chu Cichen then looked at Matriarch Chu. “Back then when you thought Little Yu was Lin Wanru’s son, why didn’t you act like this?”

Matriarch Chu’s lips twitched. “How can Lin Wanru be compared to Jing Jing? Don’t make Jing Jing seem filthy by comparing Lin Wanru to her. In any case, this is what is going to happen. The three children will follow Jing Jing. If you want them back, go and beg Jing Jing to return. If you don’t want the children, pay Jing Jing a sum of money every month then. Oh, Little Ye left his bank card here before he left and instructed me to tell you that even if he followed his mommy, he is still your son so you should not forget him when it comes to giving your inheritance.”

“…”

Chu Cichen couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation. He turned and left directly.

Matriarch Chu stood at her original location and didn’t follow him.

After that, she sighed and entered her room.

How would she not be reluctant to send her grandchildren away? But if she didn’t do so, given Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen’s personalities, they would never have any interactions ever again.

The children were the knot to tie their relationships together.

Matriarch Chu then went to sleep. She was a true unsung hero.

Chu Cichen went down and summoned Muscles. “Go to the Shen Residence to fetch the three children back.”

“Yes.”

As Muscles was preparing to head out, he suddenly heard Chu Cichen giving another command. “If they refuse to come back, you can just get Xiaomeng to come home.”

Muscles nodded again and was about to leave, but Chu Cichen spoke out once more, “…Forget it, I’ll go with you.”

Muscles quietly became the driver, and after fetching Chu Cichen to the Shen Residence, they discovered that the place was completely dark. “There was no one staying here!”

Muscles was shocked. “Young master, could Miss Shen have brought the three children away, fleeing in the cover of the night?”

Shen Ruojing definitely wouldn’t lack money, so she didn’t care for the wealth of the Chu Family.

What she cared about were definitely the children.

Chu Cichen’s heart clenched slightly.

When he thought about the possibility that he might never see the children again, he spoke heavily, “Go and investigate immediately!”

“Yes.”

Ten minutes later, Lu Cheng called him. “We investigated. They went to Ford City and are currently on the expressway.”

“…” Chu Cichen rubbed his temples.

Muscles asked, “Should we go back now?”

Chu Cichen’s gaze suddenly turned ahead. “We will go to Ford City.”

…

Because Shen Ruojing had children in her car, she drove slowly.

Although Chu Cichen set off two hours later than her, he still managed to catch up. He finally saw the car Shen Ruojing was driving on the expressway.

He directly commanded Muscles, “Speed up and overtake them, block their way.”

He wanted to know the answer urgently.
