Nianyang quickly stopped him, "Brother Chu, don’t be impulsive, what we just said was only our subjective speculation, we don’t have any concrete evidence against them. If you go and arrest them now, you’ll alert them, and they won’t admit it at all!"
Li Tingyan said, "That’s right, according to what Nini said, Aunt Dong coming to your house must have some hidden agenda. To have been so meticulously dormant for so many years, such a person is vicious at heart and extremely cunning. She’ll definitely deny it, and might even bite back, saying we’re slandering her!"
Of course Chu Zhan understood this principle too, but how could he hold back knowing that the most trusted housekeeper in the family was harboring harmful intentions, and the sister raised for eighteen years turned out to be an ingrate.
The two beasts conspired to frame his grandfather together!
With such a thing happening to anyone, who could bear it?
Chu Zhan couldn’t even imagine what his parents’ expressions would be when they found out all this!
They would definitely break down!
He gritted his teeth, "I don’t care about anything now, they are the murderers. Even without evidence, I will arrest them, and I want them to pay a painful price!"
Li Tingyan rubbed his thumb, his voice calm with a reassuring strength, "Chu Zhan, I know you’re angry, but now is not the time to act rashly. Grandpa Chu hasn’t woken up yet, nothing is certain. Nini went through a lot to find out the truth for you. If you expose it directly, all her efforts over the past two months will be in vain. Do you want to let down Nini’s hard work?"
Chu Zhan was stunned for a moment, and Nianyang followed to persuade, "Yes, Brother Chu, and think about it, your Chu Family is a big family. If you convict someone without evidence, and Aunt Dong makes a big scene, it will still damage your family’s reputation. By then, not only will you not have avenged Great-Grandpa Chu, but even his lifetime reputation will be ruined. Is that the outcome you want to see?"
It was as if his strength was instantly drained; Chu Zhan’s clenched fist loosened, and he slumped down, looking utterly defeated—a stark contrast to the usually high-spirited Mr. Chu.
Nianyang, for some reason, couldn’t bear to see it and softly spoke, "Brother Chu, we must calm down and think of a win-win solution, strive to have Aunt Dong and Chu Huan arrested and convicted immediately, and not give them a chance to escape!"
Chu Zhan was convinced, he raised his head and said, "Little Nian, you’re right. We must find evidence, we must immediately find evidence, but I can’t think of anything now, I don’t know what to do, do you think I’m useless?"
Nianyang thought, in this situation, it’s strange to be rational. A blank mind is the most normal thing.
She licked her lips, "Brother Chu, don’t worry, pull yourself together, Tingyan and I will help you. Actually, I’ve already thought of a plan. As long as we cooperate tacitly, we can lure Aunt Dong and Chu Huan into the trap!"
"What plan? Tell me, I’ll definitely cooperate!" At this moment, Chu Zhan truly regarded Nianyang as his savior. Although Nianyang is younger than him, and it should be him protecting her, he couldn’t help relying on Nianyang. It felt as if any conspiracy, any darkness, any problems would find nowhere to hide in front of Nianyang. She seemed like a little fairy, and nothing could trouble her.
