Chapter 96: The Truth About His Parents' Death

  Chu Nan briefly skipped over the part where he killed himself and told everyone about the general course of events. After hearing this, all the people in the hall of Jishidang were outraged, and Wang Hu and Luo Lie shouted that they would immediately go settle accounts with Eighth Master.

  Chu Nan shook his head and said, "It's not time yet."

  "Wang Hu shouted: 'Why? Chu Lao Da, this grudge cannot be left unavenged!'"

  Chu Nan knew that Wang Hu was a man who valued loyalty, willing to sacrifice himself for his brothers. However, Chu Nan still had to say: "It's not the right time yet, you and Luo Lie have already approached the level of top-notch masters, but it's still not enough. I believe that with just a bit more time, you two will surely be unbeatable in Jiangwan City, but for now, it's still not possible!"

  Wang Hu and Luo Lie exchanged a glance, also knowing that Chu Nan was telling the truth. Although they had made rapid progress recently, they still hadn't been following Chu Nan for long. Even with their talent, it was impossible to become a top master overnight; this required a process.

  Zero Creek surprisingly remained silent throughout the entire process, his eyes drifting aimlessly, with a restless expression.

  Chu Nan took a glance and didn't think much of it, thinking that Xiao Ling was just worried about herself before and wasn't in a good mental state. Chu Nan stood up and smiled: "You guys can rest assured, oh right, tomorrow is the medical competition again, hey, once I win first place in this medical competition, I'll have the strength to rival Eighth Master..."

  Chu Nan was speaking when he suddenly received a call from Hua Linglong. Chu Nan secretly glanced at Zero Luo Xi, and pretended to take the phone out of the room. After answering, Hua Linglong's surprised voice came from the other end: "Brother Chu, your phone finally got through, is everything okay? Did Eighth Brother do something to you? After Zero Luo Xi called me last night, I sent a few brothers to find you everywhere..."

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Seventh Brother is dead..."

  "Was it Seventh Brother who took action? But surely Eighth Master also had a hand in it."

  Chu Nan Zan Shang nodded and said "yes", then asked: "What's the situation like over there?"

  Huā Línglóng bitterly smiled and said: "The situation isn't very good, now the Public Security Bureau's Deputy Director Lǚ Yún has taken many of my brothers into custody for investigation, and all of my industries have been suspended from operation. Meanwhile, Bāyé's people are taking advantage of this opportunity to launch a massive attack on me, even attempting to swallow up my industries. Although I managed to block Bāyé's attack this time, my brothers suffered heavy losses, and we also lost a lot of money."

  "Eight Master has made a move against both of us at the same time, and according to his temperament, it's likely that an irreconcilable situation has already been formed. Do you need my help on your side?"

  "No!" Huā Línglóng said, "Although the situation on my side is critical now, it's not something that can be solved by you alone. You just need to put pressure on the police to deal with Lǚ Yún. Alas, this time Lǚ Yún seems to have made up his mind to bring me down."

  Chu Nan sneered: "Lv Yun is probably a drunkard whose heart is not in wine!"

  Chu Nan suddenly thought of a photo on the U disk, which was exactly a photo of Lü Yun and Liu Meizhi rolling around in bed. He burst out laughing: "Don't worry, you try to hold on for now, after the medical competition, I'll give Lü Yun a big gift!"

  "What's the big gift?"

  "This is a temporary secret." Chu Nan said with a smile, "A very big gift."

  "Alright then, Brother Chu, don't worry about things on my end, this medical competition must not be lost."

  Chu Nan smiled: "I know, in Chu Da Ge's dictionary, there is no word 'lose'."

  After hanging up the phone, Chunan returned to the dining hall. Everyone was busy with their own things, and only Hu Niang was still in the living room. It was said that Ling Luoxi had gone back to her room to rest. Chunan responded with a sound and prepared to go find Ling Luoxi.

  Tiger girl suddenly said: "Chu big brother......"

  "Really?"

  "Luoxi's sister seems a bit off emotionally, you should show more concern for her."

  Chu Nan smiled and said, "I understand."

  Chu Nan arrived at Ling Luo Xi's room door and knocked gently, asking: "Little Zero, are you asleep?"

  "Hmph, it's just a door, can't you even let people sleep?"

  Chu Nan pushed open the door and walked in, closing it behind him. He looked at Ling Luo Xi who was lying on the bed staring blankly ahead, rubbed his nose, and wryly said: "Don't make me out to be a big pervert, okay?"

  Ling Luo Creek hummed softly and sat up, moving inside a bit to make room for Chu Nan, saying: "Come sit down."

  Chu Nan walked over, sat down beside the bed, took off his shoes, flipped onto the bed, leaned against the headboard next to Ling Luo Creek, and put his hands behind his head. He looked at Ling Luo Creek and asked, "Troubled?"

  "No."

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "Really or not, your mouth can deceive people, but your eyes can't. I've seen you being absent-minded since I came back, or are you worried about me?"

  "Ah, indeed, I was worried about you." Zero Creek sighed and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow is another match, you should get a good rest."

  "An army is coming, we'll stop it; a flood is coming, we'll dam it. What's there to fear?"

  "Oh dear, you're so careless, hurry up and get out, go back to your room and rest properly."

  Ling Luo Creek pushed Chu Nan out of bed, then pushed him all the way out the door. With a bang, she closed the door and leaned against it, gently wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes. Her nose twitched as she puckered up her cute little mouth, thinking to herself, I may only be able to accompany you for this short time, but one day, I believe you will ascend to the pinnacle of power and come to marry me!

  Chu Nan shook his head outside the door, forget it, just as well he didn't sleep well last night, today he'll take a good rest first. However, this little girl seems to be really like what Hu Niang said, as if there's something hidden from herself.

  Chu Nan returned to the room, opened the computer, inserted the U disk, and opened the folder copied from Ba Ye's home. The folder contained files, photos, videos, and audio.

  Chu Nan opened the folder containing photos, looking at them one by one, and exclaimed several times in a row. "Damn, this is too exciting! Did Eighth Master keep these things to masturbate with?"

  The woman in the photo is partly Liu Mei-chi, but there are also other women, and even a photo of two women and one man.

  The male lead in the photo has two people he knows, one is Zheng Guangran and the other is Deputy Director Lü Yun. There are also several familiar faces, Chu Nan thought for a moment, had met at banquets before, all of whom were big shots in business and official circles.

  Chu Nan smiled and snapped his fingers. These things were stored in his own hands, but they were very useful tools, it just depended on how he used them in the future.

  Chu Nan opened the file containing videos again, casually clicked on one of them, and saw that the screen showed Zheng Guangran and two hot girls rolling around in bed. The beauties were pressing down on Zheng Guangran's body, constantly moving up and down, making sounds with their mouths. Zheng Guangran was panting heavily, seemingly enjoying himself. However, after five minutes of struggling in the video, the girl's movements stopped, and Zheng Guangran let out a long sigh, finally relieved.

  Chu Nan smiled secretly: "This old man won't be so useless, will he? It'll be settled in five minutes?"

  As expected, the beauty seemed to be unsatisfied, but Zheng Guangran had already begun to beg for mercy.

  Chu Nan turned off the video and casually opened a few more. They were all basically the same, with some people he recognized and others he didn't know very well.

  After leaving the folder, Chu Nan opened the audio file folder again and played a recorded audio. Inside was a conversation between Ba Ye and Lü Yun, mainly about Lü Yun accepting bribes from Ba Ye. Lü Yun seemed very polite and respectful to Ba Ye, but he didn't refuse any of the luxury cars and villas that Ba Ye gave him.

  "Good fellow, see what you've gotten yourself into this time."

  Chu Nan continued to listen to several audio recordings, and apart from Lv Yun's, the only one that caught his interest was a conversation between Ba Ye and Du She about a very explosive piece of information. Ba Ye seemed to be interrogating the former deputy director of Jiangwan City Public Security Bureau about the cause of death, and Du She finally admitted that he was the one who had him killed, which also implicated the current Public Security Bureau Director Lv Yun.

  Damn it, this old man really has stored a lot of good things.

  Chu Nan felt that he had almost finished browsing, and was about to unplug the USB drive when he saw that there was one last audio file that he hadn't listened to. He didn't want to miss out on this one either, so he double-clicked it open.

  Inside, there was a conversation between Ba Ye and Zheng Guangran. Ba Ye's voice seemed to have more domineering and coldness compared to now, it should be recorded in the early years. However, what he said made Chu Nan almost jump up from his stool: "Zheng Guangran, I've already sent Chu Zhangtian's wife to the extreme pleasure world, the rest is up to you!"

  Chu Nan slapped a palm on the table beside him, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

  Zheng Guangran hesitantly said: "Eighth... Eighth Master... Can you take a look at this matter and see if it can be delayed again? Chu Changtian's prestige is now too high, he's not easy to deal with."

  "Right now, everyone says that Jiangwan City's daytime belongs to Chu Changtian and nighttime belongs to my Eight Fingers. But they're all wrong! This Jiangwan City, whether day or night, is mine! Zheng Guangyan, are you scared? Or do you want me to tell Chu Changtian about the schemes you've been plotting behind his back? Let him see how his own brother has been calculating against him, let him see what a despicable person his brother is!"

  Zheng Guangran said in a trembling voice: "Eighth Master, I, Zheng Guangran, am loyal to you with all my heart..."

  "Eight Master snorted, saying: 'You have the opportunity to choose. After getting rid of Chu Changtian, Jiangwan City's business world will be yours. You can choose benefits or choose righteousness, it depends on whether you do it or not...'"

  Zheng Guangran hesitated for a moment, and Eighth Master coldly said: "I don't have that much patience."

  "Eight Masters, I'll do it." Zheng Guangran said fiercely, "A small quantity is not a gentleman, no poison is not a man!"

  After hearing this, Chu Nan turned off the audio and pulled out the USB drive. His eyes flashed with a crazy killing intent. He clenched his fist with a loud "pa" sound and gritted his teeth, muttering to himself: "Zheng Guangran, Fang Bazi!"
