338 Violence To Curb Violence!
Paternal cousins?
This meant that Bai Shanshan’s father was indeed the second son that Matriarch Bai had always been searching for!
Shen Ruojing’s gaze sank slightly. “Send the report over.”
Ye Lu who was on the other end of the call. “??”
She was astonished. “Right now? Baby, why don’t you see what time it is? I had to shift many things to the new location earlier, can’t you let me have a good rest?”
Shen Ruojing still wanted to say something, but she then heard Chu Cimo’s angry voice. “You guys are not allowed to leave!”
After that, she inclined her head and saw Matriarch Bai wanting to bring Shen Wanying away.
However, Chu Cimo was blocking the entrance and was having a confrontation with the bodyguards of the Bai Family.
Shen Ruojing replied, “Get Lu Hui to deliver it. I need the report as soon as possible.”
She directly hung up after saying that.
At this moment, Matriarch Bai had a tone of reprimanding in her voice. “What are you doing? Why are you restricting our freedom? If you don’t get out of the way, don’t blame me for being rude!”
However, Chu Cimo’s eyes were red, and he glared at Shen Wanying. “You cannot leave. You have to stay behind and pay the price for your actions!”
Shen Wanying wasn’t afraid either. With Matriarch Chu’s protection, she soon regained her rationality and spoke with false righteousness, “Mr. Chu, the butler is the butler and I am me. The private grudge between the butler and Miss Bai has nothing to do with me.”
Chu Cimo stared at her with rage. “You don’t have to pretend anymore. There are reporters all around us, and I believe everyone knows what is going on. You are the one who commanded the butler. You are the mastermind!”
Chu Cimo wasn’t an impetuous person.
Although his personality was carefree, he knew what he should and should not do.
If he let them leave today and the butler refused to speak in the future, Bai Shanshan could only suffer this in silence!
Right now, there were many reporters present. Although everyone had no evidence, all of them knew what was going on in their hearts. This was why Chu Cimo wanted to blow this matter up.
At that time, the Bai Family would have to give them an explanation.
In Sea City, when he was accused of killing Yan Zihao, Dugu Xiao also used public opinion to give the Chu Family, a local hegemon of Sea City, great pressure.
Now, the surrounding reporters seemed to have heard some gossip. Their eyes brightened as they took their cameras out and started snapping photos.
Just when Chu Cimo wanted to say something, Matriarch Bai suddenly took a step forward and waved her hand. “Clear the place!”
An instant later, a group of bodyguards dressed in black rushed in and directly stopped the reporters.
“Sorry, the Bai Family will not accept any interviews. Please make way.”
“Please hand over your memory cards for us to check.”
“Taking photos and filming is forbidden. Please leave right now.”
“…”
Although there were over ten reporters standing outside the door, there were around 30 bodyguards who were forcibly chasing people out. They basically didn’t give the reporters any chance to talk or shoot.
Some of them even domineeringly snatched the cameras of the reporters away and deleted all the footage and photos, using the reason that Matriarch Bai and Shen Wanying’s privacies were infringed.
In merely twenty seconds, these well-trained guards had chased the reporters out of the great hall!
Even if these reporters wanted to eavesdrop, the distance was too far and they couldn’t hear anything!
Chu Cimo was speechless when he saw the situation.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected that the Bai Family would use such a move!
They were basically unreasonable!
Shen Wanying also heaved a huge sigh of relief. At the same time, she lamented the fact that she was too inexperienced and had almost fallen into the trap of public opinion.
Matriarch Bai had seen too many things and could always avoid danger at the first instance. This was one of the qualities that all matriarchs of families should have.
Chu Cimo’s eyes gradually turned red as he stared at the two people in front of him.
If public opinion couldn’t make them pay, he didn’t mind making them pay in blood so they would learn who they were messing with!
Just when he was about to lose control of his rationality, a weak voice drifted over.
“Cold…”
Chu Cimo turned his head immediately and saw Bai Shanshan shivering as she woke up.
“Cold…”
He instantly rushed over and removed his outer coat to use as a blanket for Bai Shanshan before embracing her tightly. “Shanshan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Bai Shanshan opened her eyes in confusion, but her gaze gradually gained focus. As she spoke, the cold air in her mouth was released. “Cimo, I…I’m not frozen to death…?”
Chu Cimo hugged her tightly. “Right, you are still alive. You are not dead…”
Matriarch Bai also looked at Bai Shanshan. When she saw how weak Bai Shanshan was, she strangely felt her heart softening. But even so, she still steeled her heart and directly spoke, “Miss Bai, this is a misunderstanding. The butler of the Bai Family only wanted to prank you.”
Before Chu Cimo could explode in anger, she continued, “The Chu Family has just relocated to the capital and hasn’t established a stable footing yet. Mr. Chu, are you sure you want to go against the Bai Family right now just because of a misunderstanding?”
As the sound of her voice faded, Bai Shanshan’s pupils constricted.
After she understood what had happened, she immediately looked at Chu Cimo and spoke in a fearful voice, “Cimo, I’m fine. Let’s just forget about this matter.”
Her voice was hoarse and she was quivering due to her being too cold. Her frostbitten face would cause anyone who looked at her to feel pity.
Bai Shanshan didn’t want to implicate the Chu Family.
She had always felt self-inferior and that she wasn’t worthy of Chu Cimo.
So, if the Chu Family who had just entered the capital was consigned to eternal damnation because of her, she would feel a heavy sense of guilt!
However, Chu Cimo retorted in rage, “How can we just forget this?!”
Matriarch Bai slowly spoke, “Mr. Chu, I’ll give you a suggestion. Any family who just entered the capital but has yet to establish their footing is unworthy to talk about pride. As the saying goes, it isn’t too late for a gentleman to take his revenge ten years later. So, what you can do now is bear this hatred in your heart and only talk about it in the future after your older brother has established a firm foothold in the capital!”
Chu Cimo clenched his fists tightly.
He understood what Matriarch Bai had said would be the option all corporations would choose.
He also wasn’t qualified to use the Chu Corporation as a bet. After all, he had never done anything for the company and had grown up under the protection of the Chu Corporation, which enabled him to live freely with no worries.
What would his big brother choose if he was here?
Shen Ruojing looked at them and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Just when she was planning to speak, a steel-like voice rang out from the entrance.
“I have never been a gentleman.”
These words caused everyone to turn their heads. They then saw Chu Cichen walking in imposingly. His figure was tall and his steps were heavy. He was like a giant mountain that gave people a boundless sense of security.
When he entered, everyone could see that his expression was cold and unyielding. His long and narrow phoenix eyes then landed on Matriarch Bai as he tyrannically spoke, “I like curbing violence with violence even more.”
After saying this, the bodyguards behind him directly pushed through the human wall formed by Matriarch Bai’s guards, and they led the reporters back to the great hall.
