Chapter 331 - "Third Uncle, I have a favor to ask." (1)
They’ve waited for a few days and, never mind about Shu Yan, even Shu Jianyang had disappeared. The deposit that they had paid was already gone and they had been asked a few times for payment. Running out of options, the family checked their mother out of the hospital.
Shu Youfu yelled at Lin Zixiang on their way back. “Look at your stupid idea. You weren’t able to trick her to come back and we ended up spending a bunch of money at the hospital.”
“Oh, you think it was easy? I’ve starved myself for so long just so I could lose a bunch of weight and taken a bunch of random pills on top of that.” Lin Zixiang gritted her teeth when she thought about Shu Yan. “Just like Xiao Feng said, that girl is like a whole different person since the divorce. She used to come running back when I had just a headache or a fever in the past. Now she won’t even come back even if I have died. Do you think Shu Jianyang didn’t even make the call at all?”
“Who knows? We didn’t actually see him making the call.” Shu Jianbin thought that was a likely possibility. “Mom, do you think Shu Jianyang might have... ... to my sister?” He ran his hand over his neck as he said that.
Lin Zixiang shuddered. “I don’t think so. Your sister even gave us 1,000 yuan last time your dad hurt himself.”
“We got that from Shu Jianyang, who knew if it was really from my sister.” The more Shu Jianbin thought about it, the more he felt that it was likely. “Just think about it. My sister? She didn’t even dare raise her voice in front of brother-in-law. How would she have the guts to hire someone to take pictures and threaten for a divorce? And to have him walked out penniless. We are talking about 1.6 million yuan cash. Throwing in all the houses, there was at least 2 million yuan. Don’t tell me that you won’t be tempted.”
Shu Youfu and Lin Zixiang exchanged a look. Standing next to them, Wu Xianfeng rolled her eyes and suddenly smacked herself on her thigh and said, “Ohhhhhh, my Second Sister~~~~~ How you died a horrible death~~~”.
“Call the cops. We must call the cops right away.”

Shu Jianyang was taken aback a little when he saw the cops. Ever since he had listened to Shu Yan’s advice and converted into doing legit businesses, he had also cleaned up all of his past acts. There really shouldn’t be any issues.
“Hi, are you Mr. Shu Jianyang?”
“I am. What can I help you with?” Shu Jianyang had the two cops took a seat affectionately and had his secretary went to fetch them water.
“That won’t be necessary. We got a report that you are involved in a murder case. Please come with us to the police station.”
Murder? Shu Jianyang was dumbfounded. He was in the gang in the past but he had never killed anyone. Why would he have anything to do with a murder case?
“Sure, just give me a few minutes. I have quite a bit going on on my end. Let me just have someone cover for me.” Shu Jianyang was very cooperative. He took the opportunity to call up one of his underlings. “Lao Huo, be frank with me. Have you committed any crimes recently?”
“No. I’ve always listened to you and stayed away from anything that had to do with drugs, gambling, or s*x. Why? What happened?”
“Some cops came over and said I am involved in some murder case. There are no problems on my end. Was it someone on your end and the followed the trail over to me? And, oh, get me the best lawyer.” Shu Jianyang went with the cops to the police station after he was done with his call.
When he saw Lin Zixiang and her family at the station, Shu Jianyang was speechless.
“They were the one who filed the report?”
“Shu Jianyang, did you kill my sister for her money? My poor sister. We don’t even know where her body is. And then there are those two children. Did you kill them too?” Shu Jianbin asked Shu Jianyang angrily when he saw him.
