Chapter 33 (1/2)

UNEDITED

After that, Xu Chuan closed hisand shi+ Jin He looked as if the conversation ended and he wasn't willing to speak any longer

shi+ Weichong tried to provoke him with a few sentences but to no avail

Xu Chuan had been shi+ Xingrui's counselor for many years and are of the current state of affairs in his fa to bother him; it was impossible to make him talk if he didn't want to

The conversation stalled shi+ Jin looked at Xu Chuan and spoke his second sentence since entering the interrogation roohfrowned

Xu Chuan started, then raised his head to watch shi+ Jin again, but kept silent

“You never stared at ht into Xu Chuan's eyes, letting Xiao Si add a small buff to himself His voice softened and his speech slowed down, and he asked, “Third Brother said I look like my mother Did you know her?”

Xu Chuan scrutinized shi+ Jin's face His eyeson his lips The lawyer's Adam's apple bobbed up and down “The lips are the ht? You don't deserve this face! You should die! Die!”

Suddenly, he surged to his feet and reached out to grab at shi+ Jin's face shi+ Weichong's expression changed He er and shoved Xu Chuan back hard, bellowing, “Cal outside the door, rushed in at the first sign of trouble He approached Xu Chuan, who had fallen to the ground, then, composedly, pulled him up and handcuffed him to the chair

“Tch” The lawyer suddenly cal and shi+ Weichong—but avoided shi+ Jin—and sneered, “I ad Several ofsaid they'd drawn others to their side and were sure to obtain the majority of the shares, yet the company still ended up in your hands But you're really ridiculous—it was you who encouraged others to crowd out and push aside your youngest brother, and now you pretend to be a loving brother? What a farce”

shi+ Weichong's face sank like a stone He did not refute Xu Chuan's words but simply said, “What I owe Xiao Jin, naturally, I will pay hi attee between us?”

“Drive a wedge? No, I just think it's ludicrous” Xu Chuan lowered his head and whispered, with a kind of weird, jaded solicitude, “shi+ Weichong, you're a talentedyour brother And shi+ Jin, you're a true exa your seller count the h!” shi+ Weichong juave Xu Chuan a punch Then he went back to shi+ Jin as still sitting and pulled hier to listen to Xu Chuan's ravings any more

The punch caused the lawyer to slump to the side He licked the blood inside his cheek, his eyes following shi+ Jin as he walked out Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face and he mouthed, They want to kill you, run

shi+ Jin's forehead furrowed

“What did you say, you bastard!” Xiang Aoting yanked the ain

Xu Chuan put his head down and laughed As he did, his laughter grew louder and more insane, until he looked like a true madman

shi+ Jin slowly took his eyes off hi, shutting off Xu Chuan's laughter behind the door

A ress bar dropped to 700, the lowest it was since arriving at B City There was no doubt this decline was related to the reduction of lethal factors, not the increase of survival factors

This proved Xu Chuan was indeed one of the people who tried to kill him, but his behavior was contradictory—he obviously hated him, but that last sentence see of these words? Did Xu Chuan i to har in front of hiain—no, they weren't the murderers Perhaps who the lawyer meant by “them” weren't his brothers but other people, such as… Xu Tianhua?

And putting that aside, Xu Chuan's strange attitude after seeing shi+ Jin's face… What was the secret hidden behind that?

“Xiao Jin” shi+ Weichong abruptly stopped, released shi+ Jin's ar Xu Chuan's words and didn't react in time As a result, he collided with his brother's chest

After a startledsqueezed shi+ Jin's shoulders in a gentle hug “Xiao Jin, about the past things… I'm sorry,” he said

shi+ Jin returned to hily “You don't need to apologize I know Xu Chuan was just trying to ainst each other, I won't be fooled by hio and touched shi+ Jin's head “Thank you”

shi+ Jin shook his head and smiled at hi, he'd never abandon this trust, which was so hard to build, because of sos; not unless there was solid, irrefutable evidence proving his brother is not worth it

When they were ready to return, Xiang Aoting got into the car with them to sent them back

shi+ Jin waited until the twoBrother, Fourth Brother, Xu Chuan seemed to have known my mother and hateabout her?”

Xiang Aoting shook his head and said, “All I know is that your ht from a remote town by Father She spent two years with him and died shortly after you were born Apparently, the childbirth took a toll on her body”

The answer he gave was very vague It contained nothingany valuable new infor—as the eldest son, he had rui than the rest of the brothers and should knowtook adifferent: “Your ave birth to you I didn't have many chances to see her either; since she arrived, Dad seldom came to meet us Especially after you were born, Dad alain until after your mother's death Actually, before she appeared, he hadn't hooked up with anyone for a long ti her officially”

shi+ Jin listened to this in a complex mood “I'm sorry,” he whispered

Because of the unexpected appearance of a young woive the the and the others must've been very upset—at the time they were but children, around ten years old

“It's fine, we're all used to it,” Xiang Aoting soothed “Whether yourBrother and rui, his voice beca's expression hardened too, and he drove in silence It took a long tiht that Father saying he wants toher It was only after her death when he kept you close by and carefully brought you up, that I changed ed”

shi+ Jin kept silent He had no idea what to say

They were all the sainal ‘shi+ Jin' was always the special one—this was the root of the conflict between him and his five brothers No loss over it

“If Xu Chuan got acquainted with yourthe two years she lived with Dad” shi+ Weichong abruptly changed the subject and his tone returned to nore behavior, we must start fro out an affir the previous, depressing topic

After returning to the club, shi+ Jin found Lian Jun to make a report of what happened He described Xu Chuan's weird attitude and his own speculations, trying his best to be as accurate and exhaustive as possible

Finally, he sighed and his voice fell: “Originally, I wanted to ask them about my father's attitude toward theirBrother and Fourth Brother's expressions at thatdown at the docu hi

He slumped down on the desk and muttered, half to hiether with my brothers' mothers not because he liked them, but because he wanted to havethe the Brother and others were underage and came to play with me, it was Father who sent someone to pick them up each time, and when they were adults, they came by themselves No woman ever appeared at ho to do with him, as if he had already completely cut all the ties with them

“The biased, indifferent father who had abandoned theirbut still wanted them to love him… No wonder they used to despise ed places, I'd probably want to kill my irresponsible father and foolish little brother too”

Lian Jun finally lifted his head from the document “You wouldn't,” he said

“What?” shi+ Jin didn't hear his words clearly and looked up at him
