After Chu Xiong said this, the air in the room seemed to freeze and suffocate.

Qin Luo's heart was filled with complicated emotions, that is to say.

Lu Biao was indeed not dead that year, and he had been living in seclusion behind the scenes, controlling everything.

And Chu Yang grew up like this, and always listened to his father Lu Biao.

He was not only taken care of but also gained intelligence from Chuxiong.

Chu Xiong took a deep breath and spoke again.

"I haven't seen Lu Biao again. Maybe Lu Biao doesn't dare to come to see me again. He has completely hidden himself."

"Just two days after I adopted Chu Yang, someone sent me a letter."

"It contains our family's updates over the past few days."

"I even remember exactly what time the nanny takes out the trash and what time she goes to buy groceries every day!"

Chu Xiong slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up and the tea splashed out.

"It was really creepy, I felt like I was in a horror movie!"

Qin Luo listened silently. He could understand Chu Xiong's fear at that time.

This feeling of being secretly monitored is more frightening than overt threats.

“I almost went crazy.”

"That's enough to show that our family is under each other's surveillance."

"I asked someone to search the house thoroughly, but didn't find a single camera."

"We even had someone check in detail the daily activities of everyone in the family."

"I didn't find anything unusual, and then I received another package."

"It was a kitten, brutally dismembered, with its bloody internal organs and body parts stuffed randomly in a box."

"It exuded a disgusting stench. I suppressed my nausea and took out the printed letter with trembling hands."

"The content of the letter was simple, but it was like a bolt from the blue."

'Chuxiong, I know you are very smart and capable.'

'But you should understand that there are some things that are beyond your control.'

'Immediately send a daughter and Cui Ying to the United States.'

'Otherwise, guess who will be the next person lying in the box, Chu Liunian or Chu Sijin.'

'Remember, you only have three days.'

"There is no trace on the letter. There is no way to check it."

After reading the letter, Chu Xiong's voice became low, as if he was lost in painful memories.

Qin Luo could feel the torment in his heart, the feeling of powerlessness of being threatened and manipulated, as if his throat was being strangled by an invisible hand.

"I...I have no choice but to do it." Chu Xiong closed his eyes in pain.

Two lines of tears slid down her wrinkled cheeks.

"I arranged a private jet to send them to the United States."

"I thought that as long as I was obedient, my family would be safe."

He opened his eyes, his eyes full of self-blame and regret.

"I was wrong, so wrong! I thought I would be safe if I sent them away, but I didn't know that was just the beginning of a nightmare."

Qin Luo listened quietly, he knew that any words of comfort would be pale now.

He could only sit there silently, waiting for Chuxiong to continue.

"Every month, I receive their photos and videos to prove they are still alive."

"I have no choice but to keep him steady while trying to figure out who it is."

“That’s when something went wrong with my body.”

Chuxiong's voice trembled.

"I started to feel unwell, dizzy, weak, and had a loss of appetite... I realized that something was wrong with my body."

Qin Luo frowned, and he remembered the time when he investigated Chu Xiong's medical records.

The doctor also said that his symptoms were very strange and were probably caused by long-term intake of chronic toxins.

Now it seems that Lu Biao was behind everything.

"I secretly went to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctor couldn't find out what was wrong."

"They just said I was in sub-health condition and told me to rest more."

"I know in my heart that this is not sub-health at all."

"I thought about it and I didn't think of Chu Yang. After all, he is only a ten-year-old child."

"I started investigating secretly, but all the circumstances pointed to the least likely possibility."

"Chu Yang?" Qin Luo asked.

"Yes, it's Chu Yang." Chu Xiong took a deep breath and said slowly.

"I took Liu Nian to get a physical check-up. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with him."

"But at that time we ate all our meals together, except for the soup."

Qin Luo continued: "The soup was given to you by Chu Yang."

"Yes, he said that in order to repay me, there was nothing he could do, and he could only do what he could."

"It's just a bowl of soup. I don't care."

"I didn't expect that in the end there would be something in this bowl of soup that shouldn't have been put in it."

When Chuxiong said this, he suddenly started coughing.

Qin Luo quickly handed him a glass of water and waited until he recovered before continuing to ask questions.

"How did Chu Yang kidnap Liu Nian? He is just a child..."

"He is not an ordinary child!" Chu Xiong interrupted Qin Luo.

“I later learned that Lu Biao had been giving Chu Yang special training since he was a child.”

"Although he is young, he is extremely agile and ruthless, more terrifying than an adult."

Chuxiong still feels scared when he recalls the scene at that time.

"I originally arranged for a driver to take Liunian to the countryside, but I didn't expect the car to be hijacked halfway."

"The driver was knocked unconscious, and Liu Nian was taken away by Chu Yang."

"That night, I received a package from Chu Yang. Inside was a lock of Liu Nian's hair and a photo."

"In the photo, Liu Nian was tied up in an abandoned warehouse, his mouth was sealed with tape, and his face was covered with tears."

"He also put a letter in the package saying I was being too smart for my own good."

Chu Xiong's voice choked. "It's me who ruined Liu Nian."

"Liunian also started to suffer from mental illness after that incident."

Qin Luo clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't imagine that a ten-year-old child could do such a cruel thing.

Behind this is Lu Biao’s distorted fatherly love and crazy plan.

"Then I received a video of Ah Ying and Xiao Jin unconscious."

"He said it was to give me a warning not to do something I shouldn't do."

"I realized I couldn't keep letting him lead me by the nose."

"So I put the entire company and our family's lives on the line."

"I require both my daughters to live in front of me."

"If Lu Biao disagrees, I will sell the company's shares at a low price and he won't get a penny."

"Lu Biao's psychology has been distorted."

"Just like that, Xiao Jin was sent back to me."

Chu Xiong paused, took a sip of tea, and looked at Qin Luo with cloudy eyes.

There seemed to be thousands of words hidden in it, but in the end it just turned into a sigh: "The timing of your appearance is too coincidental."

Qin Luo didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"I began to contact you quietly, testing your abilities and character."

"I hope you can take my two daughters and escape from here, away from this place of trouble."

"But you are a capable person."

"Your virtual technology is truly groundbreaking."

"I see hope, I see the company, and I see my daughter's future." Chu Xiong's tone was full of excitement.

"I will slowly introduce the company's core technical personnel to you."

"Secretly guide them to support you. At the same time, I will also create some conflicts within the company to make Chu Yang anxious."

"Old fox." Qin Luo thought to himself, but his face remained calm.

He knew that Chu Xiong's words were somewhat true and somewhat false, but at least for now, it seemed that their goals were the same. Chu Xiong seemed to see through Qin Luo's thoughts.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you are thinking. I admit that I did take advantage of you."

"But the situation at the time left me with no choice. I had to pave the way for my daughters, and I didn't want my company to fall into the hands of someone like that."

Qin Luo nodded to show his understanding. The business world is like a battlefield, where intrigue and mutual exploitation are the norm.

Qin Luo smiled and didn't respond.

He recalled the young man's gentle features when he first met Chu Yang.

Now that I think about it, it’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

"Your value has completely convinced the old guys in the company."

"Similarly, you have become a thorn in Chu Yang's side."

"Plus, Chu Yang went out frequently in the past few days."

“Every time I come back, it smells heavily of disinfectant and cigarette smoke.”

"I realized that something must be wrong with Lu Biao's body."

"Lu Biao's body was still affected by the bullets from that year."

"I can't hold on any longer now."

"That day, he was like crazy." Chu Xiong shook his head.

"One moment he cried and said he was finally free, and the next moment he smiled and said he would make everyone pay the price."

"I asked the bodyguard to take him back to the room, but he suddenly grabbed my hand with terrifying force."

"He said, 'You think you've won? You think you can control me? You don't think you're going to die!'"

Qin Luo stroked his chin, his eyes deep. "Is Lu Biao's death a relief or a shackle for him?"

"Maybe it's both." Chu Xiong sighed.

"When Lu Biao was alive, he lived under Lu Biao's shadow and had to obey Lu Biao's arrangements in everything."

"Now that Lu Biao is dead, he is out of control."

"But we have lost our direction, just like a kite with its string cut, we don't know where we will fly to."

"A madman without direction is the most dangerous." Qin Luo said meaningfully.

Chu Xiong nodded, worry flashing in his eyes.

"That's why I need your help even more, Qin Luo."

"Only you can protect my daughter and save the Chu family."

Qin Luo did not answer immediately, but stood up and walked to the French window, overlooking the bustling city.

He knew that he had been drawn into a huge vortex, and the center of this vortex was the Chu family.

"Father-in-law, have you ever thought that Chu Yang's madness might not just be due to Lu Biao's death?"

Qin Luo had his back to Chu Xiong, his tone calm but cold.

Chu Xiong was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

Qin Luo continued: "I checked the information from that year. The details of the kidnapping case are weird everywhere."

"How could a ten-year-old child be able to avoid all surveillance?"

"And also know your driver's exact route?"

"More importantly, how could he have the guts to do something so cruel?"

Chu Xiong's breathing became rapid.

That should be Lu Biao trying to get himself out of it.

"He deliberately released Chu Yang to confuse my sight and make me think that it was all Chu Yang who did it."

"Try to minimize any traces of yourself in these matters."

"It's a pity that Lu Biao didn't expect his physical condition and died like this."

"Many things are just our guesses." Qin Luo turned around.

Chu Xiong stood up and patted Qin Luo on the shoulder.

"Qin Luo, thank you for saving me, but at the same time, you have to be careful of Chu Yang."

There was fatigue in Chu Xiong's tone.

Although the function has indeed repaired Chuxiong's failing organs.

But Chuxiong's age is also here.

The body still needs to recover.

Qin Luo's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc, and a playful look flashed in his eyes.

Be careful of Chu Yang? It's not certain who should be careful of whom.

After seeing off the slightly tired Chu Xiong, Qin Luo returned to the study and rubbed his eyebrows.

The Chu family's water is deeper than he imagined.

He walked over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a glass of whiskey.

The amber liquid swayed under the light, just like the ever-changing situation.

"Xiao A, have you found Chu Yang's location?" Qin Luo took a sip of wine and asked to the air.

A mechanical electronic voice sounded in his ears.

[The target person has been located and is currently in an abandoned mental hospital on the outskirts of the city. ]

"Mental hospital?" Qin Luo raised his eyebrows. This was beyond his expectation.

What was Chu Yang doing in that place? "Get the nearby surveillance video."

Scenes of the surroundings of the mental hospital soon appeared on the screen.

It was overgrown with weeds and looked desolate.

In the surveillance footage, Chu Yang's figure flashed by, and he walked hurriedly.

"Zoom in and see what he's holding."

The picture zoomed in, and it could be clearly seen that Chu Yang was tightly holding a black bag in his hand.

The bag was bulging and I couldn't see what was inside.

Qin Luo narrowed his eyes, and a sense of uneasiness came over him.

Chu Yang's behavior was too abnormal, and he could not be left outside any longer.

It's simply a time bomb.

As soon as Qin Luo opened the door of the study, he met a pair of worried beautiful eyes.

Chuchu stood at the door, her slender fingers tightly twisting the hem of her skirt, her eyes full of anxiety.

The pitiful look made Qin Luo's heart soften.

"Qin Luo..." Chu Chu's voice was as soft as a feather, "I miss Liu Nian a little bit."

Qin Luo walked up to her and gently held her hand in his. The coldness of her hand made him frown slightly.

Qin Luo paused, his eyes deep, "Sorry, my luggage is lost, and I forgot about it."

"I'll ask them to send over a few more gaming helmets. Can you please wait patiently?"

Qin Luo comforted Chu Chu gently.

Chu Chu bit her lower lip, her eyes full of apology, "I...did I cause you any trouble?"

Qin Luo stroked the back of her hand and comforted her softly.

"What are you talking about? It's all a small matter. Don't worry."

Feeling the warmth coming from her palm, Chuchu raised her head and her eyes met Qin Luo's.

His eyes were firm and gentle, containing infinite power, making her feel safe and dependent.

"Qin Luo..." Chuchu's voice choked, "Thank you."

Qin Luo smiled and said, "Silly, why are you saying thank you? We have such a relationship, do we still need to say thank you?"

His thumb gently stroked the back of her hand, feeling the tenderness of her skin.

The two stood there quietly for a while, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Until the ringing of a cell phone broke the moment of silence.

Qin Luo took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number.

Qin Luo picked up the phone, and Chu Yang's hoarse voice came from the other end.

Mixed with the crackling sound of electric current.

"Qin Luo, I know you have been looking for me." Chu Yang's voice was filled with madness.

"If you want the remaining shares I have, come to the abandoned mental hospital on the outskirts of the city alone."

"I'll wait for you here. Remember, you can only come alone, otherwise..."

Chu Yang hung up the phone without saying the consequences. (End of this chapter)
