Chapter 284: Assassination Attempt

"Yuyan, I am highly disappointed in you," Chu Nan said. A part of this was an act. He wanted to show the crowd that he was not partial. However, another part of him felt disappointed in his cousin's scheme. He had talked to the elders of the Family and knew that this side of the Chu Family was full of scheming women.

They always wanted to rule and they would do everything to succeed. At first, Chu Nan didn't think that they would go as far as asking for the main branch to help them. However, now it seems that this was really the case. Chu Yuyan and his mother wanted to frame the wife of the current boss in this territory. This was all clear now.

However, he couldn't help but wonder if that man Zar Clint had something to do with this. Chu Nan lowered his gaze as he carefully thought about it. If Zar Clint had something to do with this, then he should be alive somewhere. But that would mean leaving his family and making them think he was already dead. Zar Clint is the heir of the Clint Family, and the Chu Family spent a lot of fortune to raise him and train him. So why would Zar leave?

Now that Chu Nan thought about it, he immediately felt confused. When Chu Yuyan told him about Lyca's background, she seemed really confident. She told Chu Nan that Lyca was a dangerous woman who killed people without batting an eyelid. She was a killer who was wreaking havoc because of the accident that almost killed her husband.

Then Lyca was said to have targeted the Chu Family and stole from them. This was the reason the Chu Family got involved in this matter. After all, they don't want to make it look like they don't care about this branch family at all.

However, it seems that this story wasn't true at all.

Chu Nan looked at Lyca and Shen Qui. Chu Yuyan told him that Shen Qui was wounded, but this man wasn't showing any signs of injury. His face was rosy, lips pinkish. He doesn't look sick or injured at all! This means Chu Yuyan was really lying about the injury.

"Elder Cousin… please believe me. This woman is really causing harm to our Chu Family!" Chu Yuyan said in a voice that only the four of them could hear. "I am really telling the truth!"

"Then where is Zar Clint?" Chu Nan hissed before he realized his mistake. He cleared his throat once again and stared at the couple. "I will make sure to find the culprit of this assassination attempt. For now, you should leave this place. My team and I will scrutinize every corner of this club for this matter."

"Good. This is my business card. Call me anytime." Shen Qui handed a black slim card towards him before he helped Lyca got inside the car. After a few seconds, the car disappeared along with Shen Qui's people.

"We need to talk!" Chu Nan said as he signaled his people to continue searching the area.

"Don't drag me! My arm hurts!" Chu Yuyan couldn't help but complain.

"I'm sorry." Chu Nan sighed. He made sure that all the windows inside the Black SUV were closed before looking at Chu Yuyan. "You said that Q was dying."

"I — I didn't know that he was already healed."

"He wasn't showing any signs that he was wounded."

"Elder Cousin please believe me. Everyone here knew that he was wounded and almost died. I don't know how he turned up today, but he was really dying!" Even she couldn't believe that someone like Shen Qui would recover in a matter of days! "I am telling you, that woman of his was a killer! She killed a lot of family clan leaders here and— "

"Chu Yuyan, that has nothing to do with me! I am here because you told the elders that the Chu Family is in danger! You told everyone that she was depressed and targeting the Chu Family's wealth! I am here because we don't want the world to think that we don't care about a small side branch like the Chu Family in this place!"

"Elder Cousin, you…"

"And yet you actually lied to me? Tell me honestly, where is Zar Clint? Did you cooperate with him and asked him to pretend that he is dead for a short time?"

"That is not true." Chu Yuyan said. Her people who followed Lyca clearly told her everything. They saw Zar Clint go inside the VIP room and they heard the gunshots! "I am really telling the truth! That woman killed Zar and his people."

"Yuyan, my patience is running out! I am warning you! If you don't tell me the truth, I will have the Chu Family abandoned this side branch and cut off the supplies that we send you every month!"

Chu Yuyan's eyes widened. "You— "

"I will give you an hour to think about it. I brought my men here thinking that we would arrest some criminal. You don't understand this, but bringing them here on a private plane requires a lot of paperwork. You are putting me in big trouble here!" With that, Chu Nan left the car and started smoking outside.

Even with his threats, Chu Yuyan was still acting like she was the one telling the truth. Chu Nan couldn't help but wonder why the woman thought that she could convince anyone with this lousy scheme. There was simply no body! How could she still let him think that the woman killed someone? Base on the CCTV, she actually didn't leave the VIP room and just stayed there even after the alarm rang.

Then she walked out a couple of minutes after. The footage didn't show any signs that she got rid of the body. Moreover, she simply had no way of getting rid of three bodies alone in a matter of minutes.
