1329 Being Used

“I really don’t know anything about this,” old master Chu answered honestly.

Jiang Yu thought about this matter carefully and finally made a decision in her heart.

She wanted to take a gamble. She wanted to bet that old master Chu would be willing to fight on the same side as her after he found out that she had been used.

“Old master Chu, then let’s be frank. I won’t hide it. Is your Chu family developing a new type of weapon?” Jiang Yu asked.

Old master Chu paused and looked at Jiang Yu in disbelief. “How did you know about this?”

Jiang Yu briefly explained what happened to him and said, “Why do you want to study such a crazy weapon? Is it your own subjective will, or is there another reason?”

However, old master Chu did not accept this huge amount of information for a while after hearing what he had just said.

“I admit that the Chu family is indeed developing new weapons and we have indeed spent a lot of money to buy a batch of man-made people to be experimental subjects.” Old master Chu said in a deep voice, “however, there was a problem with the weapon-making process at that time, so the batch of cyborgs were not used for experiments. However, I had already ordered them to be kept under guard, so why would they run to the ore mine for no reason? And he’s hidden in the cellar of a villager’s house?”

“Old master Chu, do you still not understand? In fact, the Chu family was also used!” Jiang Yu said.

“Impossible!” Old master Chu was furious. “We have a contract! This isn’t a relationship of using each other, but a deal.”

“With whom?” Jiang Yu continued to ask.

However, old master Chu refused to talk about it.

Jiang Yu was not in a hurry and said, “even if you don’t say anything, I can guess. It’s the Chi family, right?”

The expression on old master Chu’s face changed visibly, and Jiang Yu was convinced that she was right.

“It’s the Chi family indeed.” Jiang Yu was deep in thought. “But the Chi family is already in decline. Is old master Chu still willing to make a deal with them because they gave you unparalleled benefits?”

“.. The Chi family isn’t in a state of desolation.” Old master Chu said, “but this is a deal between the Chu family and the Chi family. I can’t comment on it.”

“Old master Chu, things have already come to this. You can’t deceive yourself anymore.” Jiang Yu said, “the Chi family hid the batch of cyborgs in the basement behind your back. Don’t you understand their purpose? Once this matter was exposed and the police seized the ore site, they would naturally find this batch of cyborgs. By then, with the testimony of this batch of androids, the entire matter would have nothing to do with the Chi family. After all, the Chu family was the one who developed the new weapon and spent a lot of money to buy cyborgs as experimental subjects. What role did the Chi family play in this?”

Old master Chu’s face was hidden in the darkness, and Jiang Yu could not see his expression clearly.

She continued, “in my opinion, the Chi family isn’t that desolate, right? If he was really down, old master Chu would probably not choose to cooperate with them. Merchants are after profit. If there are no benefits to be gained, no one would take such a risk.”

Old master Chu remained silent.

Jiang Yu said, “I’m afraid that it’s not been a year or two for the Chu family to have its current status. The three feet of ice could not be frozen in a day. The Chu clan should have cooperated with the Chi clan a long time ago, right? We’ve been keeping a low profile according to the Chi family’s wishes. It just so happens that Chu Jie is having a coming-of-age ceremony, and the Chi family thinks that this is a good time for the Chu family to show off in Qingcheng.”

Old master Chu remained silent because Jiang Yu had guessed everything correctly.

“.. Miss Jiang Yu, you’re very smart.” Old master Chu sighed. “But sometimes, being too smart isn’t a good thing. Most of what you just said is the truth, but that doesn’t change my mind.”

“Even if you already know the truth, do you still want to work with the Chi family?” Jiang Yu asked.

“This is a deal between businessmen. Miss Jiang Yu, please don’t ask any more questions.” Old master Chu said, “for the sake of the Kang and Mo families, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything you said today. You can leave this place now and never come back.”

“.. I know.” Jiang Yu said in a deep voice, “then, other than the three of us, no one else knows what I said today.”

“Yes.” Old master Chu nodded his head lightly.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Yu said to Mo Long, “however, before I leave, I still have to say goodbye to miss Chu Jie.”
