Chapter 121 – 121: Arresting the Criminal

“Liu Jianhui, I’ve already recorded our entire conversation just now, and if I hand this video over to the authorities, you’ll be suspected of blackmail.”

Liu Jianhui’s eyes widened in shock, “Old Zhang, we’ve known each other for so many years, is this how you treat me?”

“You know very well we’ve been friends for years! To think you’d pawn off counterfeit goods on me, tell me, what should we do about our relationship?”

…

The argument between the two men became more intense, and while Chen Yu wanted to step forward and mediate, he ultimately recognized it was their private affair.

Chen Yu merely greeted Zhang Fan and then returned to his own shop.

By eight o’clock in the evening, when Chen Yu was about to close up shop for the day, Zhang Fan’s quarrel was still unabated.

In the end, unable to tolerate any more, Zhang Fan had no choice but to inform the relevant department to take Liu Jianhui away.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day’s business. Since costs exceeded profits, no points were accumulated.]

Out of habit, Chen Yu checked his revenue account and then mentally ran through all of his accounts.

After deducting the cost of materials for the next day and paying off the remaining 3.22 million he owed Tong Ya.

Plus the 8 million he won from the competition yesterday, Chen Yu’s current account was back up to 6.41 million, and he had even set aside more than four thousand as a reserve.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he could get the factory up and running.

Just as Chen Yu was about to check the storeroom and head home,

a sudden message came through on his phone.

“A murder has occurred recently in Shuiyue No. 1 Residential Community. Please do not wander around at night.”

Chen Yu frowned; the security level of Shuiyue No. 1 was among the highest in Suzhou City.

Yet, a murder had still taken place!

“Husband, why are you zoning out again?” Tong Ya hopped down from the third floor like a swallow.

Every evening before leaving, Tong Ya made it a point to tidy up the third floor.

“The homeowner’s association sent a message; there’s been an incident in the community!”

Tong Ya immediately feigned fear and burrowed into Chen Yu’s arms.

“Husband, you must protect me!”

It had been a long time since she last flirted with Chen Yu, and recently, he had been the one doing all the flirting.

She wouldn’t let go of this opportunity so easily.

To her surprise, Chen Yu lifted her chin with a playful smirk.

“Kiss me, and I’ll be your knight all the way home tonight.”

Tong Ya’s heart raced, and her cheeks flushed; Chen Yu had managed to charm her once again.

Chen Guang took Chen Yu’s electric bike and headed home first with Li Lan and Tuan Tuan.

Chen Yu had no option but to take Tong Ya’s car.

As they were about to get into the car, they suddenly saw a man on a bicycle, sprinting past them in a sneaky manner.

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly; he could distinctly smell the blood emanating from the man.

“What’s the matter, husband?”

Chen Yu shook his head, not dwelling on it further; he stepped on the gas and took Tong Ya back to Shuiyue No. 1.

By then, officials had already cordoned off the surrounding area of Shuiyue No. 1 with yellow tape, and Chen Yu had to undergo a thorough check upon entry.

To his astonishment, the crime scene was right next door at Villa No. 15.

Officials were busy examining the scene.

Chen Yu was somewhat dismayed, hadn’t the system granted his family good luck? Why then did a murder happen so close to home?

“Dad, did a murder really happen next door?” As soon as he entered the house, Tuan Tuan tugged at Chen Yu’s hand.
