Chapter 331
“President Li, let’s y golf together next time…” Su Yuanming made the suggestion while he held
President Li—who was from thepany he had a partnership with—on their way out. Before he got a
reply from President Li, his way was suddenly blocked by someone.
Nan Chuan, who was a tall man with a muscr build, stood in his way as he lowered his head in order
to see Su Yuanming’s face clearly. With a frosty look, he said in a voice that came with a trace of
iciness, “Mr. Su, our boss would like to meet you.” Then, he shot a look toward his subordinates
standing behind him, who immediately stepped forward and seized Su Yuanming to lead him in the
direction of Qin Muchen’s exclusive private room.
Before long, they reached the ce. Nan Chuan then pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Mr.
Qin, he’s here,” he said.
“Come in.” Qin Muchen was keeping his head low as he stared at the screen of his phone. No one
knew what he was looking at, but he appeared like he was paying rapt attention to the content. Several
secondster, he put down his phone and raised his gaze up the door. “The rest of you may leave.”
Nan Chuan was slightly surprised by that and he wondered what the important matter was that his boss
was going to discuss with Su Yuanming. Although his curiosity was piqued, he was not bold enough to
voice out his mind. After asking his men to leave Su Yuanming on the sofa, he brought them out of the
room.
Qin Muchen and Su Yuanming were then left alone in the room after Nan Chuan and the others left.
Qin Muchen then walked over to Su Yuanming, who was as drunk as a skunk, and spoke slowly, “Su
Yuanming.”
Despite being hammered, Su Yuanming could still recognize the man in front of him was Qin Muchen
with the only remaining bits of sobriety.
“Qin… Burp!” He only managed to utter his name clearly after a hup, “Qin Muchen!”
In response to that, Qin Muchen looked somewhat scornful when he got to his feet and said, “Since
you can still recognize me, I guess you’re somewhat sober right now. In this case, I suppose you can
tell me all about the case which happened decades ago.”
“W-What… case?” Su Yuanming slumped on the sofa, squinting his eyes in confusion.
With a sneer, Qin Muchen turned around to fetch a bucket of cold water which he had prepared in
advance, then poured it all out on Su Yuanming. nk! As soon as he threw away the bucket, his face
turned sinister in an instant. His voice turned as frigid as an ancient ice cer as he snapped, “The
case about Su Yizi’s attempted rape and negligent homicide on Qin Li!”
Thanks to the bucket of cold water which soaked his entire body through, Su Yuanming regained his
full sobriety. bbergasted, he looked at Qin Muchen, his eyes flickering as he mumbled hastily,
“There’s nothing to say about the case that happened such a long time ago. That…”
“President Li, let’s pley golf together next time…” Su Yuenming mede the suggestion while he held

Thenks to the bucket of cold weter which soeked his entire body through, Su Yuenming regeined his
full sobriety. Flebbergested, he looked et Qin Muchen, his eyes flickering es he mumbled hestily,
“There’s nothing to sey ebout the cese thet heppened such e long time ego. Thet…”

Qin Muchen ond Su Yuonming were then left olone in the room ofter Non Chuon ond the others left.
Qin Muchen then wolked over to Su Yuonming, who wos os drunk os o skunk, ond spoke slowly, “Su

Despite being hommered, Su Yuonming could still recognize the mon in front of him wos Qin Muchen

Thonks to the bucket of cold woter which sooked his entire body through, Su Yuonming regoined his
full sobriety. Flobbergosted, he looked ot Qin Muchen, his eyes flickering os he mumbled hostily,
“There’s nothing to soy obout the cose thot hoppened such o long time ogo. Thot…”
Thud! Qin Muchen, who was not in the mood for his nonsense, moved one leg over to the sofa and
stepped on his fingers. Then, he eyed him with his eyelids droopy and threatened him in an impatient
voice, “I advise you to think it through before you say anything, but your time is limited. The good thing
is, you have ten fingers for me to cripple them one by one.”
A sheen of sweat had already formed on Su Yuanming’s forehead while he stammered, “W-What are y-
you trying to do?”
Without saying a word, Qin Muchen exerted force on his foot.
Crack! “Argh!” What followed shortly after was Su Yuanming’s yelp in pain which reverberated in the
entire private room.
As Su Yuanming was never a tough guy to begin with, he quickly caved in after being tortured by Qin
Muchen. “I’ll tell you about it. Please believe me!” Even though he had said so, he was still greatly
intimidated by Qin Muchen because his fingers were still pinned under Qin Muchen’s foot.
“It all happened during a charity ball which was attended by all the famous people from Yunzhou City. I
really had no idea what happened between Su Yizi and Qin Li because when I went to the crime scene,
other guests were already there and Qin Li was already dead...” Su Yuanming spoke rapidly probably
because he was terror-stricken. He seemed to worry that if he had spoken a second slower, one of his
fingers would be crippled by Qin Muchen.
He thought of having been told by Su Youcheng earlier that day about Su Ziyue’s intention to re-
investigate the case which happened years ago, but never had he thought that she would ask Qin
Muchen to do it for her.
Qin Muchen, who was not impressed by what he said and lost his patience because of that, used his
leg to lift up Su Yuanming’s arm before stepping viciously on his other hand. “I want to hear the truth,”
he insisted.
What followed the sound of bones cracking was Su Yuanming’s agonized scream in pain. “Argh!” Su
Yuanming was in so much distress that his face was crumpled together and looked slightly twisted. “W-
What… I said… is the truth!” he professed.
Qin Muchen frowned slightly, thinking that Su Yuanming did not look like he was lying. However, that
shouldn’t be the case. If even Su Yuanming had no idea about the ins and outs of the matter, who else
would know about it? Keeping his eyes icy, Qin Muchen pressed on, “Where is Su Yizi now?”
“He… He…” Although Su Yuanming was on the verge of losing his consciousness due to the intense
pain, he still remembered the fact that if Su Yizi was still alive, he would be Qin Muchen’s father-inw.
Seeing that Qin Muchen’s eyes were turning even icier, Su Yuanming confessed through gritted teeth,
“He died a long time ago. After he was sentenced, he died after spending a few days in jail!”
As soon as he said that, Su Yuanming could feel as though the surrounding air had turned stale. Since
Qin Muchen was not speaking, he was careful even to take a deep breath. With his whole body
trembling, Su Yuanming looked at Qin Muchen and spoke in a quivering voice, “Y-You… told me to tell
you the truth…”
Back then, all the avable evidence of the case led to Su Yizi as the murderer, who had killed the
victim by ident after his attempt to rape the victim had failed. The trial was a short one, and the
judgment together with the sentence were soon given after the end of the trial. At that time, Su
Yuanming thought it was puzzling too as it did not seem likely that Su Yizi, who had always been an
upright person, would do something like that. However, he was pleased to know about the judgment
and sentence that Su Yizi received. After all, he would be the only sessor to Su Group now that Su
Yizi was gone.
Qin Muchen gazed at Su Yuanming coldly for several seconds before turning around and left. Nan
Chuan together with his subordinates were standing by at the door. At the sight of Qin Muchen, they
nodded their heads slightly at him in a reverent manner.
“It’s all handled.” Qin Muchen left Lumiere Jade House with that short sentence behind.
…
By the time he reached home, it was already in the wee hours of the morning. Before he went to the
bedroom to check out on Su Ziyue, he went to the kitchen to fetch a ss of warm water first, because
Su Ziyue had the habit of waking up in the middle of the night to have a sip.
When he reached the bedroom and switched on the lights, he saw the nket on the bed moving
slightly before Su Ziyue sat upright groggily. With a smile, Qin Muchen walked over with the ss of
water and sat down at the edge of the bed as he ced the ss next to her lips.
Keeping his hand still, she finished the ss of water with his help. Then, she nced at him sleepily
before copsing back onto the bed to continue her slumber. She pulled the nket over herself and
mumbled, “Were you out just now?” Seeing that he was wearing a suit, she assumed that he had gone
out in the middle of the night to attend to some business. She had totally forgotten about the fact that
she had actually locked him up in the bathroom several hours ago.
“Yes,” Qin Muchen voiced his acknowledgment as he ced the ss aside. Even with an impassive
look, a slight trace of emotion could be detected from his face.
“Su Ziyue, I have something…” After a pause, he gave her a gentle nudge and urged, “Please get up
because I have something to tell you.”
At that, Su Ziyue, who was lying on the bed, did not move.
Had she fallen asleep already?
