Chapter 392: Purposeful Revenge
“Why are you all gathered here?”
The sudden voice snapped the three people back to their senses.
When they looked up and saw who it was, their faces were filled with varying degrees of surprise.
“Brother Chu, aren’t… aren’t you inside?”
If Chu Sihan was here, who was in the study room?
“I’m just feeling a little tired, that’s why I went out for a walk.”
Chu Sihan walked over calmly and stopped in his tracks. He looked at them and said, “Why did you gather at my study room for no reason?”
“This, this…”
Chu Yun looked into the study room, then back at Chu Sihan. He realized that the color of his clothes was right, and his face was the same, but…
What was going on?
He turned around and pushed the study room open. When he looked inside, there was no one there.
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows silently but did not say anything.
“Lord, are… are you alright?”
Chu Yun kept feeling that something was amiss, but he could not put his finger to it.
“I just had some matters to attend to, so I’ve been thinking for a few days. What could have happened?”
Chu Sihan walked past them and into the study room.
The three of them looked at each other and hurried in.
“You’ve been looking so lifeless these few days, like a block of wood. Now, you seem more lively.”
Shi Yi leaned against the table and sized him up for a while before speaking his mind.
“Brother Chu, did something happen?”
Yun Ting was also puzzled.
Over the past few days, they had rarely seen Chu Sihan. Even when they met and sat together, Chu Sihan was always silent.
Although Chu Sihan’s personality was a bit cold, it was not to the extent where he had nothing to say to them.
He even suspected that Chu Sihan had been possessed these few days.
“Nothing serious. I’m just thinking about the Chu Mansion’s past.”
He looked up at Chu Yun and asked, “How’s the progress on Young Master’s case?”
Chu Yun was surprised.
When he mentioned this case to Chu Sihan this morning, he looked indifferent. He thought that Chu Sihan did not listen.
“Lord, we haven’t found the murderer yet.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly and poured himself a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he asked calmly, “Are there any suspects?”
“There’s no suspect either.”
Chu Yun pondered and said, “It’s said that this mother-daughter pair just moved to Huang Yang Town not long ago. They’re not familiar with the people nearby and have no interactions with their neighbors.”
“What are their conditions?”
“Lord, you’re referring to…?”
Chu Yun did not understand what he was referring to.
“Living conditions.”
“Oh!”
Chu Yun nodded in realization and continued, “Their living conditions are alright, but almost everyone who lives in that alley is not short of money. It’s unlikely for them to be murdered because of money.”
“I’ve been to the scene.”
Yun Ting said, “It doesn’t seem like they’re after money. Almost all the valuables are still there, and the banknotes on them are still there. It looks like someone’s deliberately taking revenge.”
Shi Yi nodded in agreement. “I think so too.”
“Purposeful revenge?”
Chu Sihan pondered for a while before asking, “Have you found out where the mother-daughter pair came from?”
“Yes.”
Chu Yun said, “They moved here from Hua Xiang Village nearby. The mother’s surname is Tan. It was said that her husband was snatched away by a wicked girl. However, that girl gave them a sum of money and they moved to town.”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “Could it be that the woman who stole her husband wanted to take revenge?”
