Chapter 370: Chapter 230: Castrated? Drowned?

“Okay, since that’s the case, you should own up to your mistake. Whatever you used to make the mistake, cut that off.”

“Huh?”

Jing Chuanchao felt a chill underneath, feeling Little Chuan trembling.

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to do it?”

Only a fool would want to!

Jing Chuanchao was cursing internally, but outwardly, he put on a constipated expression and begged, “President Hu, change it, change it to something else, I promise I’ll do it.”

“Am I haggling with you?”

President Hu’s expression tightened as he said with a stern face.

Just then, there was another knock on the door outside.

At this time, everyone in the company had left, so who could it be?

“Come in.”

President Hu seemed to know who would come in at this time and did not appear surprised.

The office door opened, and a person with a fierce look on their face walked in. These people clearly weren’t to be messed with.

“President Hu, we’re here. Where’s the guy?”

“He’s kneeling over there.”

Upon seeing Jing Chuanchao, these people immediately bore mischievous smiles. One of them walked up to him and said with a grin, “So you’re the kid who fancied the boss’s wife, huh?”

Pfft~

President Hu: “Ahem~”

Slap~

“If you can’t speak well, don’t speak at all. Nobody thinks you’re mute.”

“Yes, yes, President Hu, sorry, I can’t speak well.”

President Hu’s head was truly throbbing now; this incident happening to him was a lifelong stain.

But now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to shift his hatred onto Jing Chuanchao.

“Take him away and castrate him.”

“Yes.”

Four people ignored Jing Chuanchao’s pleas and dragged him out.

At this time, far away in Jinghai, Li Xiang and the others were live-streaming their farce the whole time.

Especially Lin Feifei, who felt thoroughly satisfied upon hearing that President Hu actually wanted to chop off Jing Chuanchao’s little thing.

“Let’s see what capital he has in the future.”

Soon after, they heard someone taking Jing Chuanchao away, and in the car, these people joked with him, some praising his courage, others admiring his nerve, and still others impressed that he dared to post about it in the company group—impressive indeed.

In no time, they arrived at the riverside, boarded a yacht, and then two of them tied him up tightly. “Wait, what do you guys want to do?”

“Drown you!”

“Wait, not drown, but castrate, castrate.”

“Nonsense, we obviously know it’s drown, you better shut your mouth.”

With that, they sealed his mouth with tape.

Jing Chuanchao was freaking out!

Never in his life had he been so eager to be castrated.

Were these people deaf?

They wouldn’t even listen to his explanations.

The more fiercely he struggled, the more they felt it was deserved.

Facing death, who wouldn’t struggle fiercely?

Since it was sinking, heavy chains and balls were indispensable.

With a “splash,” Jing Chuanchao was thrown into the water.

“Something’s wrong; why does this noise sound like sinking?”

The recording from the phone sounded off, so Li Xiang quickly used Jing Chuanchao’s phone to locate it, discovering they were indeed in the river.

“A life has been lost.”

Originally, they thought President Hu would only castrate Jing Chuanchao, but unexpectedly, these fools misheard it as drown, so they ended up tossing him in the river to feed the fish.

“Huh? Li Xiang, what do we do?”

“What do you mean what do we do? We didn’t kill him, why are you panicking?”

Li Xiang comforted Lin Feifei, then began to consider a plan to handle the matter.

“Actually, this isn’t a bad thing.”

On second thought, Jing Chuanchao’s death wasn’t bad, but rather good.

Lin Feifei’s contract with the company hadn’t expired yet, and now the company was using it as leverage to sue for compensation.

Li Xiang didn’t know how much evidence the company had to support this claim, nor how much the court would accept; he had no certainty.

If it really was as Jing Chuanchao said and they would be sued to the point of bankruptcy, wouldn’t Li Xiang have to work hard for several more decades?

So, to solve the root problem, the company mustn’t file a lawsuit.

Li Xiang didn’t have the influence to ask the company not to sue.

Now there was another way, which was to keep the company too busy to bother with this matter.

If company President Hu was implicated in a murder, and an investigation team was established, would the company have the capacity to handle other minor issues?

Thinking of this, Li Xiang immediately organized the evidence in his possession, using Jing Chuanchao’s phone to compile the movements of these people and the location where they sank him.

“This grand fortune still ends up with Yu Zhi.”

Since the company is in Jinling City, and there was a murder, it naturally falls under the jurisdiction of Jinling City Public Security Bureau, and as Yu Chuanfei, the head of the criminal investigation unit, it was his duty to lead the investigation.

With his relationship with Yu Zhi, just a phone call would bring the Jinling City Public Security Bureau’s criminal investigation unit into the case.

But this time, Li Xiang didn’t make that call.

He didn’t want to get involved in this case, not even showing his face; he didn’t want any suspicious eyes on him.

So, Li Xiang used internet technology and an anonymous email to send the details and clues of the case to Yu Chuanfei.

Then he turned off the computer and went with Lin Feifei to prepare dinner.

—————–

The next day,

Jinling City Public Security Bureau, Criminal Investigation Office.

Yu Chuanfei arrived early, turned on his computer, and habitually checked his email.

There was one unread email.

It was sent by an unknown sender; at first, he thought it was spam.

But upon seeing the subject line, “Providing murder clues.”

A murder case?

As the head of the criminal investigation unit, Yu Chuanfei was especially sensitive to murder cases.

He quickly clicked on the email to check it out.

The result was unexpected; he was shocked.

The subject of this murder case turned out to be a well-known local entertainment company, and it was related to yesterday’s trending topic on social media.

“Is it real?”

Seeing this email, Yu Chuanfei’s first impression was that it was fake, thinking it was some bored guy making things up and sending it to his email.

But on second thought, the probability of such things was low.

“Verifying it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Yu Chuanfei prepared to contact Jing Chuanchao; as long as he was fine, then the email was just a prank.

Initial phone verification resulted in no one answering the phone.

Yu Chuanfei planned to take his team to the talent agency to check things out in person.

The team, dressed in uniforms, arrived at the company reception, showed their identification to the receptionist, and asked, “Did Jing Chuanchao come to work today?”

“Jing Chuanchao?” The receptionist seemed to shrink at the mention of that name.

Those three words were now taboo in the company; President Hu would get furious if anyone mentioned them.

“Yes, did he come to work?” Yu Chuanfei repeated.

“How could he be at work? The incident from yesterday is known nationwide; there’s no way President Hu would let him back to work!”

After hitting a wall, Yu Chuanfei wasn’t discouraged and planned to visit Jing Chuanchao’s home.

At his home, the doorbell was rung for a long time without anyone answering, so Yu Chuanfei asked his leadership for permission to force the door open.

With the help of a locksmithing company, the master unlocked the door in a minute; when they went inside, everything was normal, but he was gone.

The person wasn’t at home, hadn’t gone to work, and the phone was off.

“Could it be that the email is real?”

At this point, Yu Chuanfei had no choice but to believe that the anonymous email he received might have been sent by an insider.

Now there was one way to prove that everything in the email was true.

To hire a professional salvage team to retrieve Jing Chuanchao’s body from the river. Yet, this plan required a substantial budget.

Since the usual methods couldn’t find Jing Chuanchao, some unconventional tactics had to be employed.

Especially since the email had attached the location of where the body was dumped.

Especially since the information they received from Li Xiang was comprehensive and didn’t appear fake.

“Yu Zhi, the salvage team leader is here; he wants to know where to start!”

“Come, start from here.”

Yu Chuanfei marked the location noted in the email and handed it to the salvage team. Once they began their operation, he stood by and waited.
