Chapter 690: Chapter 693: You Can’t Abuse Vigilante Justice
“Chi Zhen, no more quibbling, it’s useless,” Chi Yu said coldly, “Your words just now are enough to prove that you killed Shi Muqiao. Plus, the gossypol you added to the cooking oil, I’ve already found that out. The doctor has examined me and Little Zhan. Neither of us has lost the ability to have children. Your plot has failed.”
For a moment, Chi Zhen’s features twisted, “You…you even know about the gossypol?”
Chi Yu looked at him coldly, “I can understand if you wanted me and Little Zhan to lose our fertility. If we didn’t have children, and you did, everything in the Chi family would have to be passed on to your child. But what I don’t understand is why you tried to harm Qingqing. Qingqing is gentle and kind, and treats you well. Why harm her? Are you a beast?”
“Yes, I admit, I added the gossypol to the cooking oil,” With no way to deny it at this point, Chi Zhen had to admit it.
“As for the motive, as you just said, if you and Chi Zhan had no children in the future, and only I did, then having the Chi family’s property passed down to my child would be best,” Chi Zhen said with a cold smirk, “But I didn’t hold out much hope. I’m not of your Chi family’s blood. Even if you and Chi Zhan had no children in the future, you would rather adopt from a collateral line than let my child inherit. I don’t think that causing you to lose your fertility would enable me to inherit your family property. I just enjoyed seeing you being anxious because you couldn’t have children. I wanted to see, when you lost the ability to have children and couldn’t give Duanmu Ying a child, would Duanmu Ying divorce you!”
On this point, Chi Zhen admitted.
He knew that no matter how discreet he was, as long as Chi Yu suspected him, by following the trail, he would eventually unearth the evidence of his purchase of gossypol.
After all, the person who sold him the gossypol in the first place was still alive.
If Chi Yu made the effort to find that man, that man could identify him.
This point, he couldn’t escape, so he might as well admit it cleanly.
He looked at Chi Yu with neither humility nor arrogance, eyes full of sincerity, “But, I only added gossypol to the cooking oil, nothing more. As for Qingqing and Shi Muqiao, I didn’t harm them. Qingqing is my sister, I love her, I have no reason to harm her.”
Shi Muqiao was already dead, beyond the reach of enquiry.
He believed that even if Chi Yu suspected him, he wouldn’t be able to prove that he had killed Shi Muqiao.
Adding gossypol to the cooking oil was not a serious crime, he wouldn’t even be sentenced to two or three years. With a good lawyer, he might only get a suspended sentence.
But murder was a serious crime. If he admitted to it, he would be finished.
Chi Yu looked at him and sneered, “Chi Zhen, do you think, with Shi Muqiao dead, you can rest easy? Do you think, if we can’t find evidence of your murder, I can’t do anything to you?”
He looked straight into Chi Zhen’s eyes and said word by word, “You’re wrong!”
“Bring him here!” he commanded coldly.
Immediately a bodyguard stepped forward, “Yes, Young Master!”
“Take him away,” Chi Yu said coldly, watching Chi Zhen, “Find out where Shi Muqiao’s body is. As long as he doesn’t die, you can ask any way you want.”
Chi Zhen’s pupils suddenly constricted, “Chi Yu, have you gone mad? I am your cousin!”
“Yes!” Chi Yu laughed coldly, “You’re the good cousin who drugged me, trying to make our Chi family line extinct!”
“You can’t treat me !” Chi Zhen, whose arms were twisted by the bodyguard, struggled and roared, “You have no evidence, you can’t abuse private punishment.”
