Chapter 977: For Lin Nuan’s Sake I Would Avert Suspicion

Hearing this, a surprised Cen Mo turned around and looked into Fu Huai’an’s dark eyes, his gaze complicated.

Just an hour ago… the infuriated Cen Mo only wanted to give orders to have the entire Chu family killed, sparing not even their pets!

But now that his orders were given out, Cen Mo asked Saihand to get the men he sent to stop their actions…

After calming down, he felt the same way as Fu Huai’an, that killing someone was way too simple. It was the most meaningless way of taking revenge.

The best way to take revenge was to make that person feel like they were in hell…

Understanding what Fu Huai’an meant, Cen Mo and Fu Huai’an both stared at the dark skies before them. He said, “I’m better than you at this!”

One wouldn’t be able to imagine the tortures Cen Mo once underwent. If it weren’t for his will to go back home to fetch his younger sister, Cen Mo would already have died countless times!

But when the day came, when Cen Mo finally overcame it all and returned home with hope, when he was about to fulfill the promise he made to his sister that he would come back for her, he discovered that his sister was already dead!

And the cause of his sister’s death was his brother-in-law Jiang Ming’an rescuing an ingrate who, in order to save her own life, ratted Lu Xiangsi out!

After the incident, this ingrate even sculpted a noble and selfless image for herself, not even mentioning a word about how Lu Xiangsi and Jiang Ming’an had taken care of her!

When the sound was restored, Cen Mo heard Lu Xiangsi say…

“Jiang Ming’an’s woman will never kneel before anyone…”

Later, it was the sound of a gun firing that pierced right through Cen Mo’s heart!

He stared at the young lady who used to stick close to him and call him Brother as the bullet pierced through her chest. He replayed the video over and over again, holding back his tears and the urge to murder, but he had already broken down completely!

Knowing that someone was dead and seeing the video where she was dying were two different concepts!

Even if he already knew how Lu Xiangsi died, every time he saw it, Cen Mo felt as terrible as if he was dying.

Cen Mo had never been in so much pain. Even when he was tortured like an animal back then, he wasn’t in as much pain as now, so overwhelmed with grief that he hardly wished to live…

His brain was filled with the girl who hid behind her grandma and timidly revealed her little head while asking him if he was her older brother. The girl who saved her favorite White Rabbit toffee and gave it to him. The girl who, in her teething phase, spoke inarticulately and was shy but still willing to flash him a wide smile, revealing her teeth!

She was like a little chatterbox, sticking to Cen Mo’s side like a little tail, chattering non-stop…

He had always wanted to watch this girl grow up, to give the best things in the world to her!

But… he no longer had the chance!

He wasn’t able to see her grow up, and he wasn’t able to come back and rescue her when Jiang Ming’an’s mother treated her viciously! He didn’t dare imagine how the little girl would cry secretly under her blankets late at night, wondering where her brother was… and why he hadn’t come for her!

She must have hated himself to the core, hated him for not coming back to look for her—she had trusted him so!

Lu Xiangsi wasn’t merely Cen Mo’s younger sister and kin! She was also the salvation in the depths of Cen Mo’s heart, the belief that helped him persist all those years…

Anyone would break down should something like this happen to them.

It was already very calm of Cen Mo to not have ordered his men to gun down the Chu family right this moment.

At the thought of Tuan Tuan, the anger in Cen Mo’s heart dissipated a little. Standing next to Fu Huai’an, he said to him, “Regardless of what you want to do, ask your men not to get in my way…”

Cen Mo’s methods were likely shady.

Fu Huai’an said nothing. Cen Mo turned around and had just taken two steps when he turned back with a frown. Standing by Fu Huai’an’s side, he stared at Fu Huai’an. “If I were you, for Lin Nuan’s sake, I would avert suspicion and not have anything to do with Lu Xiangsi’s matters!”

After all, Fu Huai’an and Lu Xiangsi once dated…

If it were any other woman beside Fu Huai’an now, Cen Mo wouldn’t have said this!

But now that Fu Huai’an’s wife was Lin Nuan, the Lin Nuan who had stayed by Lu Xiangsi’s side to take care of her and also saved Tuan Tuan’s life, Cen Mo had to say this. That was because he felt as much gratitude towards Lin Nuan as he felt guilt towards Lu Xiangsi.

Fu Huai’an turned around to look straight at Cen Mo, his dark and deep gaze peaceful. He said to Cen Mo, “Regardless of what methods you use for revenge, I hope that before you do anything rash, you think of Tuan Tuan. Don’t implicate the child in this! Where the Kaide Corporation and the Chu Group are concerned… business is business.”

Fu Huai’an knew that Cen Mo would avenge Lu Xiangsi, which meant he could stay out of it, and he did plan on staying out of it. However, people in business would pursue profits, so if there was a chance to swallow the Chu Group to help advance the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an wouldn’t give up the opportunity. This had nothing to do with revenge. Just like Fu Huai’an said, business was business. But his thinking was certainly not a good thing for the Chus.

Fu Huai’an paused for a while, then continued, “Lin Nuan has the big picture in mind. She’s different from the kind of woman you imagine…”

Lin Nuan wouldn’t get jealous over something like this, and Fu Huai’an couldn’t bear to make Lin Nuan jealous either.

…

Lin Nuan went upstairs and pushed open Tuan Tuan’s bedroom door. Song Yao was bending over to turn off the bedside lamp when she saw Lin Nuan enter. Song Yao made a “shh” motion, then gently left the room.

Not seeing Fu Huai’an, Song Yao closed the door and asked, “Where’s Fu Huai’an?”

“Downstairs talking with Cen Mo…”

Song Yao frowned and tugged at Lin Nuan’s hand. “Follow me!”

Song Yao pulled Lin Nuan to a secluded spot and said, “Have you seen the Weibo posts made by the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily?”

Lin Nuan nodded.

“Cen Mo kept to himself in his study the entire day and didn’t come out, not even at dinnertime. I was afraid he might frighten Tuan Tuan, so I didn’t go up either. Just now, when Tuan Tuan was about to doze off, I carried the child upstairs. And only then did Cen Mo come down. He didn’t look so good. Actually, I’m afraid… afraid that because of the video, he might feel…”

Song Yao lowered her head and looked at her own fingers, her eyes reddened.

Song Yao saw the video. Even she felt trepidation when she saw the scene where Lu Xiangsi was shot, so there was no need to think about how Cen Mo would feel when he saw it.

When Saihand went downstairs, he told Song Yao that Cen Mo was watching the video repeatedly, saying he was a little worried…

Saihand even contacted Cen Mo’s psychiatrist.

The psychologist didn’t see Cen Mo in person, and based on Saihand’s description alone, he couldn’t deduce Cen Mo’s current status. But to bring the psychologist over abruptly, Cen Mo would definitely be opposed to that.

Saihand didn’t know what to do, so he asked Song Yao. Song Yao had been quiet until Tuan Tuan fell asleep and Lin Nuan returned.

When Lin Nuan saw Song Yao’s expression, she asked, “You’re thinking of encouraging Cen Mo to take revenge, yet you’re worried Cen Mo won’t be able to control his emotions that were in a sickly state to begin with?”

Lin Nuan had always been the smartest among the three of them, the one who knew Song Yao and Bai Xiaonian best…
