488 Looked Down Upon
As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Cimo was dumbfounded.
The fifth senior brother, who rushed in at the door, was also stunned. “Second Martial Uncle! Little Junior Brother only made a mistake due to a moment of recklessness, how can it be so serious? Second Martial Uncle, please think twice!”
The second martial uncle sneered, “This is still considered light. What’s there to think about? If it weren’t for the fact that Valor Gate cannot take lives now, according to the rules left by our ancestors, he should be beaten to death for making so many mistakes!”
After saying this, the second martial uncle immediately ordered, “Press him down, hold a trial tomorrow, and execute the punishment in public! All Valor Gate disciples must come to observe. I want everyone to know what mistakes he made! From now on, Valor Gate disciples are not allowed to make any mistakes again!”
“Yes!”
The eldest senior brother and the other Valor Gate disciples went straight forward and grabbed Chu Cimo. Chu Cimo looked at the second martial uncle in front of him and shouted angrily, “Second Martial Uncle, I do not accept this!”
“You are not qualified to not accept it! You are not qualified to defend yourself in this matter either!” The second martial uncle stared at him.
“Because of you, our sect was wronged and investigated, and many people had difficulties on their missions. These are all things you must bear! Take him away!”
In order to prevent Chu Cimo from escaping, they directly detained him in an enclosed room, and the eldest senior brother even arranged for people to be on guard from both the front and back.
The fifth senior brother came over and wanted to bring Chu Cimo some food, but he was stopped by the eldest senior brother. “What qualification does he have to eat when he has made such a mistake?”
The fifth senior brother was furious. “Even if it’s a death sentence, there’s still a last meal! Why can’t I go and bring it to him?”
The eldest senior brother sneered. “Fine, we’ll arrange the food. You don’t need to bring it in. Who will be responsible if something happens?”
The fifth senior brother heard these words and became even angrier.
He then stared at the eldest senior brother and shouted through the door, “Little Junior Brother, do you regret it?”
Chu Cimo inhaled deeply and spoke, “I only regret not being able to convince Second Martial Uncle and not being able to remain as part of Valor Gate.”
Being expelled from Valor Gate meant that he was no longer a disciple, and no one from Valor Gate would protect his family.
He had worked so hard because he wanted to give the Shen and Chu Families a safety guarantee. It seemed that his efforts were wasted now.
If he had known about this…
Even if he had, he probably would still have tried.
Chu Cimo took a deep breath and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, I know we don’t get along, but can I at least make a phone call to let my family know that I’m safe?”
The eldest senior brother sneered and handed him his phone. Chu Cimo then stared at WeChat on the phone for a long time before finally sending a message to Bai Shanshan. [I’m dealing with some things outside and will be busy for two months. I’ll see you again after that.]
After sending the message, he threw the phone aside.
He didn’t want Bai Shanshan to worry about him. After his arms and legs were broken, he would be promptly sent to the hospital for treatment. In the future, he would be no different from a normal person, but he would never be able to exert his strength again.
Movement skills mainly depended on footwork, so he wouldn’t be able to do that either in the future.
Chu Cimo sat on the ground and pondered.
The fifth senior brother spoke outside the door in a crying voice, “Little Junior Brother, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let you come back!”
He cried and said, “Grand Martial Uncle said that only our little junior uncle can save you, but I can’t contact him at all. I called the number he gave me, but no one answered…”
Chu Cimo then said, “Don’t tell my family about my situation.”
The fifth senior brother cried even harder. “Okay, okay…”
Hearing this, the eldest senior brother sneered. After that, he called two people over and whispered, “Spread the news that Chu Cimo is about to be punished by Valor Gate, so that people won’t think that we didn’t let him join despite him being the champion, we must not allow him to protect the two families.”
“‘Okay.”
After the fifth senior brother left the room, he immediately took out his phone and continued to frantically call his little junior uncle. However, the familiar prompting tone was repeating from the other end of the phone. “Hello, the phone you are dialing is not in the service area…”
The fifth senior brother was so anxious that he cried, calling over and over again, but no one answered.
–
At the Chu family, Bai Shanshan’s countenance dimmed when she received the text message from Chu Cimo.
Also, Matriarch Bai happened to be visiting her today. She then looked around and asked, “Where’s Chu Cimo?”
Bai Shanshan explained in a hurry, “He’s busy…”
Upon hearing this, Matriarch Bai’s face turned black and she said, “Busy, busy, busy! He’s been busy every day. Every time I come to see you this month, he’s been busy! He’s a rich second-generation profligate son without any responsibilities. What could he possibly be busy with?”
After saying that, Matriarch Bai also looked at Matriarch Chu and said, “Shanshan has a good temper and can’t control him. As his mother, you should at least manage him a bit!”
Matriarch Chu lowered her head, feeling ashamed. Hence, she apologized, “It’s my fault for not managing him well. He wasn’t like this when he was young. He even got admitted to China University. Sigh, I have spoiled him.”
Matriarch Bai continued unhappily, “He spends all his days outside drinking and having fun. It’s outrageous. Although Chu Cichen is the head of the family, as a younger brother, he should be more responsible at this critical time and not go out that much! ”
Matriarch Chu nodded. “When he comes back, I’ll break his legs! I’ll call him now!”
Unfortunately, when Matriarch Chu took out her phone and dialed Chu Cimo’s number, the display showed that his phone was turned off.
She tried several times in a row and got the same result, which made her even more furious.
“This kid is asking for trouble!” she exclaimed.
Matriarch Chu immediately turned to Bai Shanshan and said, “Shanshan, don’t worry. When he comes back, I will speak up for you!”
Matriarch Bai was extremely angry. Ever since she learned that her granddaughter had married Chu Cimo, she had not been fond of him.
Now that the Shen family was in trouble, Chu Cichen had moved in with them, indicating his loyalty. But what about Chu Cimo? Could they count on him if the Bai family encountered any difficulties?
Matriarch Bai looked at Bai Shanshan and suddenly said, “Actually, they haven’t gotten married yet, have they?”
Bai Shanshan was surprised by Matriarch Bai’s sudden comment.
“Grandma, what do you mean?” she asked.
Matriarch Bai sighed. “Our family needs to seriously consider this grandson. A Bai family granddaughter cannot marry a useless man like him!”
Matriarch Chu became anxious and wanted to say something, but then thought of the things her son had done, she felt embarrassed to speak up.
Seeing Matriarch Chu’s hesitation, Matriarch Bai became even angrier. She stood up and was about to leave when the butler suddenly rushed in from outside and said, “Madam, something bad happened to the Second Young Master!”
