Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 487 The time for the Ruan family's reckoning has come!

"report!"

Zhou Wen's voice rang out from outside the door.

Chu Xin glanced at Zhou Yichen, got up to open the door, and left to give them some space.

Zhou Wen had just returned from a field mission and was unaware of what had happened. Chu Yunting saw him outside and said that Zhou Yichen wanted to see him, so he came over.

“Zhou Wen, there’s something about your father. His death is suspicious, and I’ve already contacted the police to investigate. I should let you know about this first.”

Zhou Wen was stunned for a moment. "Didn't my father sacrifice himself to protect the old commander?"

This is something he's known since he was a child, so how could there be a different conclusion?

Especially since more than 20 years have passed, the sudden change suggests that someone has brought up old matters and revealed even more secretive things.

In that instant, Zhou Wen thought of many things.

"Captain, has someone come forward to spread rumors and smear the old commander?"

Zhou Yichen opened his mouth, knowing that Zhou Wen was worried that someone was deliberately targeting Master Zhou and the Zhou family, which was why he brought up the old matter.

She raised her hand and pressed him down, telling him not to rush.

"It's the Ruan family. They had a fight at home today. Old Man Ruan and his son were arguing about some secrets. That's the gist of what I told you, but we don't know the specifics yet."

Zhou Wen's brows remained furrowed. "Where are they?"

Zhou Yichen: "They took action. Three out of the four family members were injured and are all in the hospital. I asked Ruan Hongmei, but she didn't know anything. However, I still handed her over to the police station."

Although he later learned that Gao Ziyou was responsible for Ruan's mother's injury, he did not intend to tell the police about it, and only told Zhou Wen the general details.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Wen said, "Okay, I understand. I will communicate with the police about the Ruan family."

He grew up in the Zhou family, and he was raised the same way as Zhou Yichen. He would never do anything impulsive, which Grandpa Zhou was very relieved about.

"Yes, Grandpa also said that you are fully authorized to represent him in this matter and you must find out the truth. If you have any other questions, you can ask Grandpa's bodyguard."

Go find Chu Yunting now and hand over all your work to him.

Zhou Wen nodded solemnly, gave a military salute, and left.

Chu Yunting saw Zhou Wen off with a long face.

Chu Xin chuckled softly, feeling sorry for him as well.

Chu Yunting looked at her with resentment. Could this girl still be kept? She showed no familial care whatsoever.

He felt that his heart was broken.

"Little Chu"

Upon hearing the word "death," Chu Xin knew it couldn't be anything good and quickly refused, saying, "No time, impossible!"

Chu Yunting pouted: ...

"...Then when you get home, tell my mom not to wait for me for dinner."

"No problem," Chu Xin readily agreed, "I'll definitely bring it."

Chu Yunting looked constipated. "You really are my sister."

I've never seen anyone more despicable than her.

Chu Xin nodded without a trace of guilt. "Although I know you're being sarcastic, it's a fact that no one can deny that we're family. As the eldest brother, you should be more understanding."

Chu Yunting rolled his eyes. As the biggest beneficiary of this family relationship, of course you can talk without feeling the pain.

……

"If I were you, I would tell the truth!"

When Zhou Wen arrived at the hospital, Ruan's father, who was in the best physical condition, had already woken up. Faced with Zhou Wen's direct questioning, he regained his senses after being impulsively confused.

Despite Zhou Wen's repeated questioning, he not only denied it outright, but also accused the Zhou family of hiring someone to beat his wife into that state.

Zhou Wen snorted coldly, "If the Zhou family really wants to go all out, they will definitely not give you the chance to lie in the hospital. Don't use your filthy thoughts to speculate about others."

No matter how much you deny it, you can't deny what you said. I'm not stupid, and the Zhou family isn't stupid either. We all know exactly what happened. Pretending to be ignorant won't help, and besides…”

He gave a malicious smile and recounted, word by word, how Ruan's mother planned to harm Zhou's mother.

You won't notice anything unusual if you don't pay attention to it normally, but once that fig leaf stops working, all those disgusting thoughts will be obvious.

"Now you know what kind of person your wife is. You can deny it, but what she said has been heard by people themselves, and you can't deny it."

Moreover, your daughter has already committed a crime once, so it wouldn't be difficult to arrest both of them.

And your father, many people heard your argument at the train station. If you ask around, you'll find witnesses. If I report it to the police, they'll investigate. Until there's a result, your whole family will be unable to leave Kyoto.

If you think this is a good deal, then let's see who can outlast whom!

His words were cold and heartless, and Ruan's father was so anxious he felt like an ant on a hot pan, wishing he could jump out of bed and fight Zhou Wen.

"I just said something unintentionally, why are you so fixated on it? We're all pitiful people, can't we just let each other go?"

This is a sophistry using vague concepts.

Zhou Wen's disdain for this family had reached its peak.

Their whole family is together, while he's all alone. And yet they shamelessly try to outdo him in pitifulness. How can they have the nerve to do that?

Furthermore, Zhou Wen never felt sorry for himself. His father's death was an honor, it was his duty, and he always remembered the kindness and care he received from the Zhou family as he grew up.

She didn't feel that the Zhou family should treat her well.

Moreover, he got to where he is today through his own hard work and dedication.

Now that Ruan's father was actually comparing him to their family, Zhou Wen was very displeased.

"That's all I have to say. You can decide what to do yourself. Oh, by the way, the medical bills for the three of you haven't been paid yet. Now that you're awake, you should pay the money first. Once you've recovered enough, the police will come and take you to the police station to stay there."

Don't worry, you won't be alone. Your daughter is already inside waiting for you!

After giving him a call, Zhou Wen made a move to leave, but was stopped by Ruan's father.

"How could you do this? I'm going to sue you!"

Zhou Wen didn't even turn his head. "Tch! Sure, sue me all you want. Let's see who the police arrest. Your whole family can just sit here and rot in jail!"

Mr. Ruan, though seemingly manipulated, wasn't truly out of his mind. "What do you mean by saying all this? If I tell you the secret, you'll let it go?"

He wasn't unaware that telling his father would be the end of him, but the Ruan family was inherently selfish.

If everyone can be saved, that would be best. If not, sacrificing one person to save his own family of three would be worth it, even if his father died.

"If you can represent the Zhou family, give me time to consider it."

Zhou Wen nodded silently, not at all surprised that Mr. Ruan would say that; he wouldn't have found it strange if Mr. Ruan had readily admitted it right now.

From the very beginning, Mr. Ruan made those arguments, denying and refusing to admit anything, just trying to bargain and see where his bottom line was.

Here, Zhou Wen still wants to thank his grandfather, who gave him the greatest decision-making power so that he could have a trump card to deal with Ruan's father.

He kept this kindness in his heart. He was filial to Zhou Jiaquan, and he would naturally find a way to repay him.

"Some things are more efficient to solve using unconventional methods."

He murmured softly, a sentiment that coincided with Zhou Yichen's. Before he even left the hospital, Zhou Yichen had already taken a break from his busy schedule to do what he had always wanted to do.

The investigators who were initially sent to the Nguyen family's hometown have returned. They not only collected a lot of evidence of Nguyen's father abusing his power and violating laws and regulations, but also obtained the good news that many victims agreed to testify against him.

Zhou Yichen felt it wasn't enough, so he went to "have a chat" with Gao Ziyou, telling him to go crazy in front of the Ruan family and hasten their disintegration so they could return to their hometown and accept their fate sooner.

There are too many constraints in a society governed by the rule of law. Zhou Yichen is not a madman who disregards the law, but Gao Ziyou is. Such a useful tool is better used than not.

After just a few words, Gao Ziyou was already extremely agitated by him.

Even so, Zhou Yichen was still calmly "comforting" him.

"Since you did it, don't try to deny it. Although I didn't catch you that day, Ruan Hongmei isn't a very resolute person, and things have come to this point, so it seems she has no room to hide anything anymore."

You said that my grandfather would call your family again, not to mention your father, but what would happen if your father and uncles found out what you did?

Does that mean they can still protect you without any limits?

You should be glad your dirty scheme didn't work out that day. Otherwise, even if I'm no longer useful, my grandfather would have dealt with you first. And then who would have been able to keep it a secret from the family?

Gao Ziyou was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. His hands were clenched tightly together, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"As expected, you know me best, Zhou Yichen. I think you're asking for death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch without holding back.

This fight should have started as soon as they met, but it didn't happen because of Chu Xin's appearance. Instead, she beat him up instead.

The two men, who had no chance against Chu Xin, were absolute elites among ordinary people, and immediately started fighting.

After several exchanges, both fighters threw a powerful punch and immediately retreated, each silently trying to relieve the intense pain in their hands.

Suddenly looking down, Gao Ziyou saw his right thumb and index finger, which were missing. His eyes blazed with bloodlust, and his murderous intent was impossible to conceal.

He roared like a trapped beast and charged forward in a reckless, suicidal attack.

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

"Do you know what I've lost? Why can you wait to take over the Zhou family unscathed, while I risked my life to earn military merits only to end up crippled?!"

"He's just a nobody, how can he compare to me? Zhou Yichen, you're too arrogant. What right do you have to seek justice for him? You deserve to die!"

Zhou Yichen didn't give him an inch, and he fought back against every punch thrown at him, without even trying to dodge.

"You brought this upon yourself; you have no one to blame but yourself!"

In the final punch, both men were in a frenzy and punched each other hard in the chest.

"puff!"

They both retreated again, this time both coughing up blood. They stared at each other with grim faces, neither of them showing any intention of backing down.

However, they also knew that it was impossible to determine who was superior at the moment, and they both had things to consider, so they couldn't really go all out.

Both Gao Ziyou and Zhou Yichen were well aware of this; it was both an advantage and a source of helplessness for those born into powerful families.

Zhou Yichen knew that people could only be provoked to this extent; too much of a good thing could be bad, so he stopped while he was ahead.

"If I were you, I would leave Kyoto and go back to Ning City right away. The Ruan family has broken the law and the police are already watching them. If my grandfather doesn't find your house before the police call you, you'll be utterly humiliated."

Be careful, even a police officer's status obtained through family connections might be lost!

After saying that, he clutched his chest and left, completely ignoring Gao Ziyou, who was left standing there, whose head was buzzing with anger.

The Gao family spent a fortune hiring a renowned doctor to bring Gao Ziyou back to a normal psychological level, but in such a short time, he was driven to collapse again by Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen.

Gao Ziyou knew in his heart that Zhou Yichen was doing it on purpose, but he could no longer control himself.

After a sudden tinnitus, a sharp buzzing sound began to appear in his head, forcing him to open his mouth to relieve the discomfort. At this moment, he could not even hear his own heartbeat.

His mind was filled with violent thoughts.

If Zhou Yichen hadn't left, he could have relieved the rage burning within him by unleashing violence, but that person actually ran away!

Gao Ziyou's face contorted in pain, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins stood on end. He couldn't suppress the brutal aura he felt and desperately needed an outlet to vent it.

That night, while still tossing and turning in his hospital bed, unable to sleep, Ruan's father saw Gao Ziyou, whose face was purplish-blue and who had a sickly smile.

Strictly speaking, he had only met Gao Ziyou before, and they didn't even know each other. When he suddenly saw him, Ruan's father was afraid, especially since the other man looked strange at first glance.

He sat up and asked hesitantly, "Comrade Gao...is something the matter?"

Visiting a patient?

No way, nobody would believe that someone would come over at night to visit a patient.

Besides, they don't have that kind of relationship.

Gao Ziyou smiled with narrowed eyes, walked to the bedside without any politeness, looked down at Ruan's father, and said nothing nice.

"I didn't want to come, but your family is particularly good at causing trouble. I just dealt with an old woman, and now your whole family is here to make things worse. What, are you so reluctant to leave Kyoto?"

As he said this, his hand had somehow already gripped Ruan's father's neck.

She pressed her face close to his, whispering like a lover, her eyes filled with a ruthlessness that pierced like a knife.

"Since that's the case, then none of you are leaving. I'll send you all to your deaths!"

Ruan's father was terrified, his breathing became increasingly difficult, and he struggled to back away, trying to pry open Gao Ziyou's large, pincer-like hands.

"Help... help!"

The suppressed cries for help were only audible to the two of them.

The person struggling in their death throes was pitiful, helpless, and incredibly fragile. Gao Ziyou looked at the person thrashing about in his hands and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, so he tightened his grip.

Die, all of you, die!

His expression was one of exaggerated madness, and Mr. Ruan wet his pants on the spot.

A strong, pungent stench quickly filled the ward, which was shrouded in the aura of death.

"Ok?"

Gao Ziyou's perverted expression froze. He looked down and saw that water was dripping not only from the bed but also from under the bed.

His left hand, which had been holding back power, immediately released its grip, tossing Ruan's father aside as if he were something dirty.

"Cough cough cough..."

A large amount of air rushed into his chest cavity, causing Mr. Ruan to cough violently. The more he coughed, the more he couldn't stop urinating, and there was another series of slurred urinations.

Gao Ziyou was disgusted and even the hand that had pinched Ruan's father felt too dirty to want anymore.

"I never want to see you again!"

He glanced at the culprit with disgust one last time, then turned and quickly left the ward.

After watching him walk away, Zhou Yichen slowly appeared at the corner of the hospital ward corridor, and Zhou Wen followed him out.

"His madness has indeed not improved..."

A glint flashed in Zhou Yichen's eyes, but he didn't respond. "Go do what you should do. Gao Ziyou has the Gao family behind him, so we can't touch him now."

Zhou Wen nodded, and Ruan's father, who had recovered in the ward, also began to shout.

The time for the Ruan family to settle scores has come!
