1379 Puppet
“I don’t want to think from your point of view. I only know that my life is very good now. My fiancée and I are living a very happy life. If the two of us can get married smoothly, then the Kang and Mo families will join forces.” Mo Long frowned.
“So what if the Kang and Mo families join forces?” Chi Rui was unconcerned. “Things have already developed to this point. The Chi family’s power in the dark is already unmatched. What is revealed to the public now is only the tip of the iceberg. Even if the Kang and Mo families joined forces, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be a match for the Chi family.”
“You…”
“Don’t think I don’t know,” Chi Rui interrupted Mo Long. “Before I found you, you and your fiancée stayed in the Chu family for a while. When you were in the Chu family, you made some plans with that old man surnamed Chu. Although I don’t know, I have the Chu family in my hands.”
Mo Long thought that Chi Rui was talking about Chu Jie, so his tone became cold again. “You installed a chip in Chu Jie’s brain. What’s your purpose?” He questioned. “Could it be that the puppet of the Chu family you mentioned is Chu Jie?”
“Chu Jie?” It was as if it was the first time Chi Rui had heard this name. He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard this name before.
“I’ve never heard of this name. I don’t know this person either. Mo Long, even if you want to frame me, don’t use someone I don’t know to frame me.” Chi Rui frowned. “I don’t know anything about the chip you mentioned. I don’t know where you heard this from, but I really don’t know this Chu Jie.
The puppet of the Chu family I’m talking about is called Chu Ran.”
Mo Long wasn’t the only one who was shocked when she heard this. Even Jiang Yu was shocked.
Jiang Yu had once thought that Chu Ran, an illegitimate child, would have such confidence to confront the Feng family and even make Feng Ran’s father willingly marry his daughter.
The power behind him was definitely not to be underestimated, but she never expected that the power behind Chu Ran was Chi Rui.
If the power behind Chu Ran was Chi Rui, then everything made sense. Perhaps the Feng family had taken a fancy to this power, and with a hint of fear, they wanted to marry Feng Ran over to build a good relationship with Chu Ran.
But to Chi Rui, Chu Ran was just a puppet. Therefore, even if Feng Zheng really married Feng Ran to Chu Ran, he would only get a little benefit.
This was because Chu Ran could not make her own decisions.
“You already knew that Chu Ran was the illegitimate son of the Chu family, so you found him and wanted to turn him into your puppet, didn’t you?” Mo Long questioned.
“Yes, your guess is correct.” Chi Rui snapped his fingers.
“But have you ever thought about it? So what if you really turned Chu Ran into your puppet? The Chu family will never acknowledge Chu Ran, this illegitimate child. Even if you turn him into your puppet, you won’t be able to use him to control the Chu family.” Mo Long said.
Chi Rui didn’t believe it at all. “Chu Ran is the illegitimate child of the Chu family. Whether that old man with the surname Chu is willing to accept it or not, this is the truth. If he doesn’t want the Chu family’s reputation to be at the forefront, then he has no choice but to accept Chu Ran.”
Chi Rui had a good plan because he had grasped the position of the Chu family in Old Master Chu’s heart.
Mo Long was silent, and so was Jiang Yu.
“Mo Long, you can hang up now. If your fiancée finds out about our conversation, it won’t do her any good.” Chi Rui reminded.
Mo Long looked at Chi Rui and hung up the phone silently.
After Mo Long hung up the phone, Jiang Yu could no longer hear the voice on the other end. She was sitting alone in the room with no one around her. In the empty room, he could only hear his own steady breathing.
After a long time, she put down her phone and went out to find Teng Yi.
“I have something to do. If someone comes looking for me while I’m away, I’ll need you to help me deal with them.” Jiang Yu said.
“Madam, don’t worry. Leave this matter to me.” Teng Yi said. However, he still wanted to know why Jiang Yu would choose to leave at this time.
Jiang Yu did not hide anything. “The Chu family has an illegitimate child. His name is Chu Ran. I want to go out to the Chu family and ask Old Master Chu for all the information about Chu Ran.”
“Alright then. Madam, be careful on the way. You must bring your bodyguards along.”
