Chapter 143: Hacker Y

Translator: Lordbluefire

No one had seen that video clip before, so Chu Cichen instructed, “Project it onto the television.”

The lawyer nodded.

The group stood in front of the television and the lawyer played the video clip.

In the video, Chu Cimo was wearing a mask and had his head lowered as he darted into the Yan Family’s residence. He then agilely climbed into Yan Zihao’s bedroom through the window.

The curtains were drawn and the situation inside couldn’t be seen clearly. There were only two shadows to be seen. After Chu Cimo gave Yan Zihao a harsh bashing, he then jumped through the window.

The time was 1 a.m.

Chu Cichen frowned.

Just then, a soft gasp rang out. “Uncle, is this parkour? It’s so cool! How are you able to jump up such a high wall so easily?”

All of them turned their heads in unison to see Chu Tianye and Chu Yu standing next to them, staring at the television.

Chu Tianye exclaimed, “That’s so amazing!”

Chu Cimo instantly raised his chin. “This is nothing. I can flip over a wall even higher than that. But this isn’t called parkour. This is qinggong*.”

When he said this, his gaze flickered a little and he looked at Chu Cichen. He then heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Cichen didn’t show any reaction.

Chu Tianye continued to ask, “What qinggong? I want to learn it too!”

“What’s there to learn? I learned this from a club in university...” Chu Cimo tried to divert the conversation. “The two of you children should hurry up and go upstairs. Do your homework. We adults have things to talk about!”

Chu Tianye pouted and complained, “So stingy.”

He then went upstairs with Chu Yu.

Chu Cimo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was going to continue pestering him about his movements.

However, Shen Ruojing stroked her chin.

(This movement... It’s indeed the Valor Gate’s qinggong.)

She glanced at Chu Cimo thoughtfully. She didn’t expect this profligate son to be related to the Valor Gate. But if he was a disciple of the Valor Gate, shouldn’t he be in the capital?

She suddenly recalled that Chu Cimo had gone to university in the capital and had continued to stay there for half a year after his graduation before he came back. He had also said that he didn’t want to work anymore...

Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze and her lips curled up slowly.

Chu Cichen’s younger brother must have a story.

After Chu Tianye and Chu Yu were chased upstairs, Chu Yuan spoke up, “There don’t seem to be any problems with this video, right?”

The lawyer nodded and said, “The police have checked this video. There’s no problem with it. The frames are connected well, and there aren’t any signs of it being altered. Therefore, we’re on the passive end now. If we can’t bring out any evidence, Young Master Mo will probably be sentenced. Of course, we have another way, which is to plead guilty and try to get a lighter sentence.”

Chu Cichen looked at Chu Cimo. “What do you have to say?”

Chu Cimo scratched his head. “There doesn’t seem to be any problem with this video. However, I’m still sticking to what I said before. I was indeed very angry and went to give him a bashing. However, I didn’t kill him!”

The lawyer sighed and said, “The police also said that the victim’s death was unfortunate. He had sustained serious injuries, but if he had been sent to the hospital immediately, he could have been saved. However, no one sent him to the hospital and that led to his death. Therefore...”

“That’s impossible!” Chu Cimo interrupted the lawyer. “I know my limits when beating people up. He was seriously injured and shouldn’t have been able to move. However, if he was discovered the next day and then sent to the hospital, he could still be saved. I even checked.”

If Shen Ruojing hadn’t seen the video before this, she might suspect that Chu Cimo had been too ruthless and hadn’t controlled his strength well.

However, if he was a member of the Valor Gate...

She believed in Chu Cimo’s skills.

Before Shen Ruojing said anything, Chu Cichen concluded. “Someone must have gone in to kill him after you left. However, the person who filmed the video will definitely not hand over the latter part of the clip...”

The latter part of the clip was definitely in Dugu Xiao’s hands.

The person who went in after Chu Cimo to commit the murder must be Dugu Xiao’s man.

Hence, Dugu Xiao had the evidence and he wanted Chu Cichen to take the initiative to contact him. Dugu Xiao wanted to use the evidence in exchange for Shen Ruojing.

Everyone present knew this without having to say anything.

For a time, no one said anything.

Chu Cimo scratched his head. “Can we get a hacker to hack into their phone and take out the latter part of the video as evidence?”

The moment he said this, a gloomy and mocking voice rang out from the door.

“Chu Cimo, it has been so many years, but why haven’t you gotten smarter?”

Chu Cimo exploded, like a cat that had its tail stepped on. He turned his head abruptly and said furiously, “Chu Ciyuan, why are you here?!”

Chu Ciyuan?

Shen Ruojing turned and looked over curiously.

The eldest master of the Chu Family had three children...

Chu Cichen, Chu Cimo, and there was also Chu Ciyuan, who was said to be an illegitimate child.

Chu Cichen and Chu Cimo both stayed at the Chu Manor, but Shen Ruojing hadn’t seen Chu Ciyuan here before.

Chu Ciyuan had a pair of phoenix eyes just like Chu Cichen and Chu Cimo.

It was just that Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes were bottomless, making it hard for one to be able to see through them.

Chu Cimo’s phoenix eyes, on the other hand, had the arrogance a young man should have.

However, when the same pair of phoenix eyes were on Chu Ciyuan, they had additional hints of gloominess and viciousness. It was as if they grew in the darkness where there was no sunlight present...

When the others saw Chu Ciyuan, they showed different reactions too.

Chu Cichen’s expression didn’t really change.

But Chu Cimo was agitated. He looked like he was very angry.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuan was in a daze and didn’t say anything.

However, Matriarch Chu’s eyes lit up and she walked up to Chu Ciyuan quickly. “Ciyuan, why have you returned?”

Chu Ciyuan smiled mockingly. “This is my home. Although Father isn’t around anymore, it’s still my home. The law says that an illegitimate son also has the right to inheritance. So why can’t I come back? Are you afraid that I’ll fight for the family assets with your sons?”

Matriarch Chu instantly frowned. “You know this isn’t what I mean. Why are you...”

Before she could finish her words, Chu Cimo flared up. “How can you talk to Mother like this? She brought you up painstakingly, but this is how you repay her? You ingrate!”

Chu Ciyuan sneered. “It seems that I’m not welcome here. I’ll leave then.”

“You shut up,” Matriarch Chu reproached Chu Cimo and then looked at Chu Ciyuan. “You heard of Cimo’s problem and came back to help, right? Since you’re already here, why get angry?”

Chu Cimo was stunned for a moment then he mumbled, “Who needs his help?!”

Matriarch Chu sighed. “Ciyuan is an IT expert. What is it called again... oh, right, hacker. He’s very amazing.”

Chu Cimo said in disdain, “Amazing? Can he be more amazing than the people working in my brother’s company?”

When Chu Ciyuan heard this, he let out a cold laugh and took out his phone to do something on it. He then looked at Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen’s phone quickly rang. It was a call from the Chu Corporation’s secretary. “CEO Chu, we’ve been attacked by a hacker and the company’s website is down.”

“…”

Chu Cichen didn’t say anything but just looked calmly at Chu Ciyuan.

Chu Ciyuan raised his phone and waved it arrogantly. “That’s right, I did that.”

Chu Yuan said, “Then hurry up and take a look at this video for Cimo. See if you can hack into the other party’s device and get the latter part of the video!”

Chu Ciyuan said slowly, “I’m an ingrate, so how can I possibly help you guys? Unless...”

He paused slightly.

Matriarch Chu frowned and asked, “Unless what?”

A hint of gloominess flashed past Chu Ciyuan’s eyes. “Unless you let my mother’s tablet enter the Chu Family’s ancestral altar and pay respect in front of my mother’s tomb as a concubine!”

Matriarch Chu’s pupils contracted. Despite always conducting herself with dignity, her chin tensed up.

She revealed a look of disbelief and hurt.

She knew that Chu Ciyuan was very rebellious. After graduating from university, he left home and never came back because Matriarch Chu was biased toward her own son. However, she had never thought that Chu Ciyuan hated her so much.

She was the officially wedded wife of the Chu Family, so how could she pay respect to a mistress as a concubine?!

Chu Cimo took a step forward and punched out at Chu Ciyuan, feeling enraged. “You are indeed an ingrate! Scram!”

Chu Ciyuan was punched in the face, but he didn’t get angry. He only spat out a mouthful of blood and said, “Are you sure you want me to leave? You won’t be able to find a hacker that’s better than me in the country!”

He was the most amazing person in China’s Hackers Alliance. His codename was Y.

In the entire world, the only one better than him was Hacker Q...

Shen Ruojing took a step forward and suddenly said, “Who says that there isn’t one?”
