Chen's mother was terrified. It was the first time she had ever seen Chen Anbang so enraged. After sitting on the ground for a while, she stood up timidly and followed Chen Anbang back home.
Du Lanwan, who had been following behind the two, vividly recounted the incident to Ji Nanshu upon their return.
Ji Nanshu had long anticipated the Chen family's current situation; it could only be said that they had brought this upon themselves.
Are all the four major families in the Imperial Capital clean, except for the Chen family? Of course not, but at least they aren't so heartless as to disregard human life.
Ji Nanshu had only met Chen Anbang and Chen Rui before. Judging from Chen Rui's appearance, it was clear that she had blood on her hands.
Chen Anbang was taught by the Chen family patriarch in his childhood and became a disciple of the Daoist master You Chun in his youth. Although he was a ruthless person, he would not do such heinous things just because of his liking and curiosity.
Chen Anbang had never understood why his sister had become like this, but now he understood—that's how his mother was.
After Ji Nanshu's reminder, Chen Anbang also searched for evidence that his sister had committed murder, but he couldn't find it. He now understood that besides other people causing trouble behind the scenes, it was also because he was a member of the Chen family.
How can the victim trust the perpetrator's family?
Chen Anbang remained silent after getting into the car until they arrived home, at which point he finally spoke, "Mom... you should stay home for now."
Chen's mother was somewhat panicked. "An... Anbang... Is Xiaorui really not going to get out...? We... We can't let someone else take Xiaorui's place..."
Her daughter is only twenty-three, the prime of her life! How can she spend it in prison?!
Thinking of this, Chen's mother couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mom!! Let someone else take the blame?!" Chen Anbang found it unbelievable. "Do you even realize that the Chen family is in dire straits? If we make the slightest mistake, our family will be doomed! Have you thought about me, my brother, and Dad?! Have you thought about Grandpa?!"
Chen's mother closed her eyes in despair, and after a long while said, "I... can't I take the blame? It's all my fault for not raising Xiaorui well! So I'll go to jail, I'll go to jail, okay?"
Chen Anbang didn't know what to say; he felt his mother was simply hopeless.
"The Chen family will not want a matriarch who has gone to jail." Chen Anbang left with only these words.
Chen's mother was left alone at the Chen family home, standing there stunned for a long time before bursting into tears.
Ji Nanshu had been in the heavily guarded ward for more than ten days; he was practically rotting away.
He nudged Chu Mo, who had moved his office to the hospital. " A-Mo! When are we going to start closing the net?! I'm so bored!"
Chu Mo expertly handed Ji Nanshu a bag of snacks. "It'll be ready soon. The relevant departments said that according to your method, half of the formation was destroyed, and the other half was tampered with. As long as Xia Hong activates it, all the evil energy will backfire on Xia Hong."
"The evidence against the Xia family is almost complete. According to the messages sent back by Xianggu and Fu Yu, they have basically figured out the Blood God Cult's people and strongholds, and can send people to take action at any time."
"As for the Chen family, that's up to them."
"Okay."
Ji Nanshu had watched TV and checked his phone, but couldn't find anything to do, so he started bothering Chu Mo again.
She sat down next to Chu Mo, blinked, and said, " A-Mo, I want a hug!"
Chu Mo lifted Ji Nanshu onto his lap, making him sit astride him with his face facing him, and then began typing away on the computer, handling official business.
Just a few minutes after sitting down, Ji Nanshu bit Chu Mo's neck. Chu Mo gasped; his darling's bite was truly... merciless.
As if realizing it had hurt the person, it started licking the teeth marks like a puppy.
Within seconds, Ji Nanshu felt Xiao Chu Mo pressing against his buttocks.
"Don't move!"
Ji Nanshu commanded.
Chu Mo's eyes were deep and his voice was hoarse. "... Yes, I won't move..."
Ji Nanshu unbuttoned Chu Mo's shirt one button at a time, revealing most of his chest.
He lowered his head and gently touched Chu Mo's Adam's apple.
Chu Mo froze. Who cared about work at a time like this! He gripped Ji Nanshu's slender waist tightly with both hands, kissed her deeply, pried open Ji Nanshu's red lips, and thrust deep inside.
"Hmm..."
Ji Nanshu couldn't help but let out a soft moan, which prompted Chu Mo to bite his lips before pulling away, burying his head in Ji Nanshu's shoulder, and breathing heavily.
"Sweetie, help me..."
Ji Nanshu chuckled and said, "No, you're disobedient. I told you not to move."
Chu Mo swallowed hard. "I won't move, sweetheart, please help me, okay?"
"Not good!"
Ji Nanshu resolutely refused, then bit down on Chu Mo's Adam's apple, and after a while, turned to licking it.
Chu Mo looked up at the sky, this was really going to kill him, how could his darling be so alluring!
After nibbling away for a long time, leaving red marks on Chu Mo's body, Ji Nanshu slowly took off his own clothes and knelt on the sofa.
" A-Mo, you seem to be in a hurry?"
Ji Nanshu grinned mischievously and drew circles on Chu Mo's chest with his finger, causing Chu Mo's body to tremble.
"Sweetie, can I have it?"
Chu Mo's eyes were red; he was clearly struggling to hold back his tears.
"Brother~ please wait a little longer~"
Before long Ji Nanshu hugged Chu Mo's neck and said in a spoiled tone, "Brother, I'm so tired, I don't want to move anymore..."
"You really don't want to?"
Ji Nanshu nodded emphatically. "Hmm!! I don't want to~" Hmm, he'll never come by himself again next time. He noticed that A-Mo wasn't this tired before.
Sure enough, he wasn't suited to being on top; lying down and enjoying himself was what he was meant to do.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the world spun around them, and their positions were reversed.
"Ah... Ugh!!"
Chu Mo silenced Ji Nanshu's exclamation with a kiss.
This kiss was completely different from Ji Nanshu's kitten-like licks earlier; it made Ji Nanshu weak all over and unable to muster any strength.
His voice trembled with tears. "It's so hard, so painful..."
"Do you still want to do it yourself?" Chu Mo has always been a bit wicked when it comes to matters of the heart, otherwise he wouldn't get scolded by Ji Nanshu every time he wakes up.
"... Don't..."
Chu Mo raised an eyebrow mischievously. "Hmm? Sweetie, I'm not moving."
Ji Nanshu's eyes were red at the corners and glistening with tears, making her look extremely alluring.
"You... I hate you!!"
Snap--
He slapped Ji Nanshu on the butt.
"Sweetie, call me husband... I'll answer you if you do, okay?"
Chu Mo coaxed him gently, but his words and actions were inconsistent.
Ji Nanshu sobbed and cursed, "Ah--! Bastard!!"
However, scolding someone at this time lacks any real force and only makes Chu Mo think it's just whining.
So cute!
