Chapter 145: 517, Have You Played Enough?

Shen Ruojing looked at him. “You’ve lost. Apologize.”

Chu Ciyuan inhaled deeply and walked toward Matriarch Chu.

Matriarch Chu had a lofty look on her face. Her chin was lifted and she didn’t even look at him.

Chu Ciyuan then perfunctorily said, “Mother, I apologize.”

“Pui!” Chu Cimo angrily spoke, “What qualifications do you have to call her ‘mother’? You should know how good she was to you.”

Chu Ciyuan mockingly said, “Good to me?”

He sneered coldly and couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. However, his gaze toward Shen Ruojing grew more complicated. “Are you Hacker X? Wrong, my master should be older than you…How did you manage to do it? Which firewall did you infiltrate exactly?”

The words ‘Hacker X’ caused Chu Cichen to stare abruptly at Shen Ruojing.

Chu Cimo was also looking at her curiously. “Shen Ruojing, are you an IT expert?”

Shen Ruojing coughed and fell silent before calmly stating, “It’s straightforward. I sent a message to Chu Xiaomeng and told her to unplug the network cable.”

“…”

Everyone on the scene fell silent.

A long time later…

“Pu!” Chu Cimo burst out laughing. “Haha. Chu Ciyuan, do you still proclaim yourself as an IT expert? You actually didn’t discover such a basic thing!”

'',

Chu Ciyuan flushed and knew that he was pranked.

He angrily looked at Shen Ruojing. “You are playing a trick!”

Shen Ruojing spread her arms wide. “I only feel that since it is a piece of cake for the Chu family to find a hacker, it is impossible for Dugu Xiao to leave such an obvious loophole and allow you guys to hack your way in. So, that mobile phone of his that has the video in it would surely be switched off.”

No matter how good a hacker was, as long as their target was offline, the hacker wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Chu Ciyuan started.

Chu Cimo was also enlightened. He seemed to have understood something. “Correct. So, right now, we basically don’t have to find a hacker to help. All we need is to steal his phone…”

Chu Ciyuan had a disgusted look on his face. He gloomily looked at Chu Cimo. “Steal? Dugu Xiao’s location is definitely heavily guarded. Who will be able to get in? Do you think you are a godly thief?”

He muttered things under his breath as he tinkered with his phone for some time. Finally, he frowned and spoke, “It must be really turned off. I can’t find any news about the video.”

Chu Ciyuan kept his phone and his face turned even darker after realizing that he could provide no help at all. He then directly uttered, “I’m leaving.”

Matriarch Chu asked, “Why don’t you stay for dinner? Your favorite grouper fish dish is prepared.”

“The one that loves eating groupers is Chu Cimo, not me!” Chu Ciyuan looked at Matriarch Chu with a mocking look on his face. “You can’t even remember my favorite food…Forget it, why am I talking with you about all these?”

After saying this, he directly turned and headed outside.

Matriarch Chu started slightly. She tightened her lips, but no longer said anything.

Chu Ciyuan left very quickly, and the problem returned to square one.

At this moment, Lu Cheng frowned as he looked at his phone. “Dugu Xiao is using the media to put pressure on us again.”

He passed his phone to Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen immediately saw a piece of news that was trending. #AffluentSecondGenerationIsAKiller#

Everyone was scolding and cursing them in the comments below:

——Isn’t the Chu Corporation too much? They are not respecting human lives at all?

'This chapter is updated by N(o)V(e)lB(i)n.',

——I can understand his anger, but isn’t he a little too crazy to directly kill someone? Does he even have the country’s law in his eyes?

——Yan Zihao’s deeds might be ugly, but it doesn’t warrant death!

——I heard my source saying that Chu Cimo got bailed out. Can someone who committed such crimes even be bailed? Hehe.

…

Not only were people scolding them online, but even the share price of Chu Corporation dipped so much that they were at a historical low.

Lu Cheng’s phone kept ringing. Many shareholders who had yet to sell their shares were calling him. They were asking whether Chu Cichen was still going to buy their shares…

Chu Cichen tossed the phone back to Lu Cheng. “Tell them that as long as they want to sell, I’ll buy.”

After he returned to the country, he had always wanted to do a complete overhaul of the Chu Corporation. Its shares were too widely distributed so it was hard for him to do a complete overhaul. Hence, when Dugu Xiao targeted the Chu Corporation, Chu Cichen didn’t seek outside help. He directly used Dugu Xiao’s interference as a way to expel those shareholders who were not loyal to the Chu Corporation. These people wouldn’t support his overhaul plan in the future either.

Chu Yuan didn’t understand Chu Cichen’s plans, so he had a worried look on his face. “Cichen, do you have enough funds to keep buying all these shares? If you don’t have enough, I have some funds here…”

“Third uncle, no need for that.” Chu Cichen’s expression was calm. “We have enough.”

As his voice rang out, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it and discovered that it was an overseas call with a string of unfamiliar numbers.

But even so, Chu Cichen instantly understood who this was. He directly picked up the call and heard Dugu Xiao’s voice from the other end. “Mr. Chu, are you doing well?”

Chu Cichen narrowed his eyes. “Everything is fine thanks to the care Mr. Dugu has shown.”

“Everything is fine?” Dugu Xiao laughed. “I have evidence that your brother is not the culprit. Mr. Chu, do you want it?”

Before Chu Cichen could say anything, Dugu Xiao continued, “I’m sure Mr. Chu knows what I want in exchange for this piece of evidence. I’m just curious about one thing. Between your younger brother and Miss Shen, who will you choose?”

Chu Cichen frowned as his expression gradually turned heavy.

Shen Ruojing, who had always been paying attention to him, lowered her eyes.

She didn’t wish to implicate others, and this was especially so given that things had developed to such a point and seemed to have reached a dead-end.

Shen Ruojing suddenly sighed quietly and walked to Chu Cichen’s side. When he wasn’t paying attention, she suddenly grabbed his phone and spoke to Dugu Xiao.

“517, have you played enough?”
