Chapter 222 "Sacrifice"
"Boss, boss." Abu waved his hand in front of Chi Ruiche's eyes, looking at him with confusion.
"Hmm." Chi Ruiche frowned and responded faintly.
"What are you thinking about so intently? I've called you several times and you still don't answer."
Abu's lips twitched. Ever since Xiao Si's accident, this boss hadn't been normal.
Chi Ruiche's gaze was fixed on Jiang Yi, and he felt at ease when he saw Jiang Yi sitting obediently next to Jiang Yang.
"Our people have found out that Lü Haotian's plane is currently parked on the helipad of the Chi family's old residence." Abu's phone showed a newly sent message.
“And I also received a call that Youjun has been found. It’s just that he’s already…” Abu glanced at Jiang Yi subtly, his deep voice saying everything.
"It's getting late, let Yang-ge know he can leave."
Chi Ruiche's eyes were dark and deep, the phone in his hand flashing. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze calm and even, yet concealing a deep and unfathomable undercurrent.
“Boss, Youjun was found at the Jiang family’s old house. We’ve been searching for so long and haven’t found him. Today he was lying right at the gate of the courtyard. Doesn’t that mean our plan to surround and kill Lü Haotian was exposed long ago?”
Abu hesitated slightly, then spoke seriously.
"Has the time of death been determined?"
"Two days ago, he was moved here after his death, but... Youjun committed suicide. There were obvious marks on his neck, his legs were bent, and he gave up his instinct to survive and ended his life."
Abu became increasingly frustrated as he spoke. What kind of situation would make a person resist their instincts and resolutely face death? Either they have a secret they cannot tell others, or they are afraid that others will discover their secret.
Abu felt a chill run down his spine and didn't know how to guess what was going on.
Two months have passed since Grandpa Jiang passed away, and they have sent many people but have not been able to find Youjun. It seems that he has disappeared from Xijing. They once suspected that Youjun could not accept Grandpa Jiang's passing and resolutely chose to leave.
"From the very beginning, Youjun was taken away by someone. What were their plans?"
Abu fiddled with his phone; when he was restless, he couldn't stop himself, as if that was the only way he could think.
"About Yi Yi, only You Jun was present that night. If it was the same person, there would be clues on You Jun." Chi Ruiche clenched his fist in his pocket, his eyes turning away sullenly as Jiang Yi left.
"I'll arrange an autopsy." Abu tapped his phone, signaling for personnel to arrive and follow up.
"Boss, putting aside other issues, there's one thing: why was Youjun left behind at the old house, waiting for us to find him? The timing is perfect, it's tonight."
"Abu, starting tonight, protect Jiang Yi at all costs. Trust no one now, understand?"
Chi Ruiche felt as if he had been struck by a hammer, every nerve taut, as he earnestly entrusted Abu with these instructions.
Abu frowned, looking at Chi Ruiche with suspicion. "Boss, do you know something? Do you have a plan?"
"Promise me." Chi Ruiche's voice was solemn and cold.
"Okay," Abu said in a muffled voice, shrinking his neck.
Chi Ruiche pushed open the door, and as soon as he saw the people in the theater leaving, the theater became deserted and desolate.
This situation can only truly end by breaking free from it.
He analyzed that everything that happened to Jiang Yi was forced forward, and that someone had made a plan. From Grandpa Jiang to Youjun, they were just members of his plan, or perhaps they were more like "sacrifices" in his doing something.
