Chapter 511: To Despair You

Chapter 511: Chapter 511: To Despair You

Wenru had not yet recovered from the shock; she had never heard such preposterous nonsense before.

Upon hearing the words, she stared blankly into Jiangli’s cold eyes and suddenly realized why he had been ignoring her requests all along.

As for the Chu family’s situation, she didn’t even want to listen to it now, let alone send these two murderers straight to prison.

Sensing Wenru’s intentions, Song Taishan looked sternly at the Chu parents and said in a deep voice, "Murder is a crime, you know that? Even if she is your daughter, you can’t just kill her!"

Chu Father immediately panicked, "I, we were just talking, you, you have no evidence..."

Song Taishan laughed in anger, "Didn’t Chu Xi ever tell you that I’m a police officer? I heard everything with my own ears, there are witnesses here!"

Chu Father stood up in panic, indeed he had had almost no interaction with Song Taishan and didn’t quite understand this man.

But as soon as he heard that the other party was a police officer, instinct made him afraid.

"Anyway, I don’t know anything; this is all nonsense. I’m not involved; you, you leave me out of this!"

Seeing his reaction, disappointment was written all over the faces of Chu Xi and Zhou Yiran.

Zhou Yiran wiped her face and turned her head away, wanting to say something but eventually fell silent.

Chu Xi was even more at a loss for words.

Just as Song Taishan was about to take Chu Father into custody, Jiangli let out a light chuckle.

Everyone subconsciously looked toward her.

She stared intently at Chu Father, "So, are you saying that, even now, you don’t think you’ve done anything wrong?"

Chu Father’s mouth hung open, his neck stiff, "I, what have I done wrong... What do you, a little girl, know about anything..."

"Since you still don’t know your mistake, then it serves the Chu family right to have no descendants," Jiangli said with a slight smile. "Wasn’t all your effort just to preserve the family line? Now, having no descendants must be more despairing to you than any punishment, right?"

Chu Father was taken aback, "What, what do you mean..."

"Do you remember why you came here?" Jiangli reminded them considerately, "Chu Xi and Zhou Yiran have been married for many years without children. What do you think is the reason? Haven’t you secretly consulted that so-called master?"

Chu Father stiffened all of a sudden.

Chu Mother’s tears also stopped.

Jiangli was right.

Chu Xi and Zhou Yiran had been married for three years and still had no children; when the hospitals couldn’t find any problems, they began to wonder if there might be another reason and had indeed consulted a master to find out what was going on.

Unfortunately...

The master had died years earlier.

They also dared not seek out other masters or Taoist temples, for fear of dredging up the past.

If Chu Xi had not found out and come to ask them, dragging them to Jiaoyang Temple, they certainly would not have come to Jiaoyang Temple.

"That..." Chu Mother seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "Young lady, what did you mean when you said she was right here?"

She remembered that Jiangli had said this.

Chu Mother’s heart skipped a beat, "The ’she’ you’re talking about, could it be..."

"What do you think?" Jiangli glanced at her.

Chu Mother felt a chill all over.

Chu Father also stood as if petrified.

Jiangli looked around the group and continued, "Actually, did you do just that, or did you do something else after she died?"

She said this while staring at Chu Father.

Chu Father’s eyes suddenly became evasive, "I, what could I possibly do..."

Seeing his guilty expression, Chu Xi grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice, "Dad, we’re at this point now, what else do you want to hide? Aren’t I the one you care about the most? For my sake, can’t you tell the truth?"

These words pierced right to the heart of Chu Father.
