Chasing light

Chapter 289
The old man had spoken, and Mrs. Yu dared not leave.

As soon as Mrs. Yu went out, the old man called: "You can come."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, who would the old man ask for?

After a while, people came.

The Gu family knew each other, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

This person's surname is Kong, Kong Chaoshan, who was the most powerful subordinate of grandfather before. Most of the Gu family's property has been handed over to Gu Chengping, but Kong Chaoshan is still in charge.

Although Kong Chaoshan's surname is Kong, he doesn't come to Gu's family very often, but he is still the person Mr. Gu trusts the most.

Kong Chaoshan walked up to the old man and bowed to the old man.

"Everyone here should go to the study room. This is not a place to talk about things." The old man was about to get up on crutches, but Gu Chengdong and Su Ran who was sitting beside him hurriedly reached out to help him.

Zhu Huiyu's face was pale and flustered, and she subconsciously cast a look at Gu Chengping for help.

Gu Chengping was beating drums in his heart. The old man must have something important to call Kong Chaoshan here. He was still wondering if the old man was going to hand over Kong Chaoshan's property to him?But he met Zhu Huiyu's eyes.Gu Chengping's heart skipped a beat, why is Huiyu's face so ugly?Could it be that during his business trip these few days, Huiyu or the Zhu family caused something to upset the old man again?

Gu Chengping deliberately stayed at the end, with sharp eyes, and whispered to Zhu Huiyu, "Is that you?"

"I... I don't know." Zhu Huiyu didn't dare to admit it. The old man told everyone here to go to the study, and she knew that today's incident must have something to do with Su Ran, but she held a little bit of luck, hoping to be with her irrelevant.

"It's better that it has nothing to do with you." Gu Chengping gritted his teeth.

Gu Yunchen hesitated. If it really happened, he couldn't stop it. Grandpa must have obtained the evidence for something so serious.

Gu Yunchen couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

The old man sat down at the main seat, and the others took their seats one by one. The old man glanced at Su Ran and said to Kong Chaoshan, "Let's get started."

Kong Chaoshan took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and wanted to give it to the old man, who motioned to Gu Chengdong and Gu Chengping.

The two took the documents and flipped through them, and Kong Chaoshan began to speak.

"At 46:[-] p.m. on New Year's Eve last year, an accident occurred on the escalator between the fourth and third floors of a certain shopping mall..."

Gu Yunchen's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, it really was this matter, so that's what Su Ran talked about with the old man last time?

Gu Yunchen looked at Su Ran. Su Ran's hand was tightly held by Han Dong. Both of them looked calm. Did they know before they came?
Why not tell him?
Zhu Huiyu's palms were covered with sweat, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Gu Chengdong and his brother's faces were also extremely ugly. Although they haven't finished reading the materials, they have a rough idea.

Kong Chaoshan continued: "The perpetrator is called Li Jun, and he insisted that he just wanted to steal Lu Yu and Su Yicen's wallets, and didn't intend to hurt anyone, but the police found out that Li Jun sent a huge sum of money to his home before that. 50, a jobless vagrant who lives by stealing, how can he get so much money? Li Jun’s statement doesn’t match up. He said it was his deposit for many years, but the bank didn’t have any information about Li Jun’s deposit. It was borrowed from a friend, but he couldn't tell who this friend was, and couldn't justify himself."

Han Dong knew about these situations, Bai Yuming had already told him, Li Jun couldn't justify himself by simply pretending to be dumb and not explaining, and the police couldn't do anything about him, so he was very curious about how Kong Chaoshan found a breakthrough.

"But just this morning, Li Jun confessed that the 50 yuan was given to Li Jun by his wife's driver Lao Song, and asked him to kill Su Yicen, and if no evidence was found, he would give him another 50 yuan after the incident was completed. Kong Chaoshan looked at Zhu Huiyu and said, "Old Song has been controlled by the police."

Zhu Huiyu lowered her head, her hands were shaking.

"Zhu Huiyu, you... how could you do such a thing?" Gu Chengping couldn't believe that the person next to his pillow actually paid for murder, but Li Jun's statement was clearly written, and Lao Song had already been arrested I can't stand him not believing it.

"Huiyu, you're so confused, why do you need to do this?" Gu Chengdong was also extremely annoyed that a murderer had appeared in the Gu family, which was a fatal blow to the Gu family.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, I don't know." Zhu Huiyu said in a low voice, she slowly raised her head, with a distressed expression, and murmured: "I really don't know, I don't know..."

"Yes, I quarreled with Su Yicen, but this matter is over, I didn't expect Lao Song to do this..." Zhu Huiyu said aggrievedly, now she can only hope that Lao Song will not confess her.

Su Ran watched Zhu Huiyu act coldly, 100 million for one life, Lao Song is just a driver, with so much money to buy you a murderer?
The old man said lightly: "Huiyu, you still have a chance to explain things clearly yourself."

"Dad, I really don't have one, you have to trust me." Zhu Huiyu cried, "I'm the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, how could I do such a stupid thing just because of a few quarrels?"

The old man sighed, completely disappointed in Zhu Huiyu.

Gu Yunchen saw it and persuaded: "Mom, just tell the truth!"

Tell the truth, then sincerely apologize and double the compensation, maybe the old man can persuade Su Ran not to pursue legal responsibility.

"What do you want me to say? Do you have to force me to admit something I haven't done? Yun Chen, is there any son like you?" Zhu Huiyu said angrily.

The old man said solemnly: "It seems that you will not cry when you see the coffin."

Kong Chaoshan took out a recording pen and pressed the play button.

Old Song's voice came from inside: "Mr. Kong, I can't help it. I don't want to do this kind of thing. It's my wife. She insisted on forcing me to do it. The 100 million was given to me by my wife. Where did I get the money... Mr. Kong, you have to trust me and save me..."

Kong Chaoshan turned off the recording and said, "The police will not interrogate Lao Song for the time being."

Then Kong Chaoshan handed over the recording pen to the old man, which meant that Zhu Huiyu's life was now in the old man's hands.

Zhu Huiyu immediately knelt down to the old man: "Dad, I was wrong, Dad, please help me, I was out of breath and confused, Dad..."

She was still somewhat sure that Lao Song would not betray her. Kong Chaoshan was the most cunning person. He must have resorted to tricks to get Lao Song to tell the truth. At the old man's thought, she could only beg the old man to let her go.

The old man was indifferent, but his face was gloomy.

Zhu Huiyu cried: "Dad, for the sake of my father who has called you for more than 30 years, for the sake of my dead father, and for the sake of Cheng Ping and Yun Chen, if I go in, Cheng Ping and Yun Chen How can I hold my head up in the future, Dad..."

The old man looked at the crying daughter-in-law expressionlessly, and asked sadly: "You know that if you do this, Cheng Ping and Yun Chen will be embarrassed, the Gu family will be humiliated, and your dead father will not be able to live in the ground. Why are you still doing this?"
