The cup exploded at Sun Lei's feet, and the porcelain fragments scraped across his cheek, leaving a long trail of blood.

Sun Lei ignored the sharp pain on his face, lowered his head quickly, and apologized timidly.

Chu Xu's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "This is my last warning to you, don't do anything unnecessary. I only want to take revenge on Xiao Yun, and don't want to implicate innocent people."

Sun Lei pursed his lips, feeling dissatisfied, and whispered, "This Li Hui is not innocent, she is Xiao Yun's girlfriend."

"So? Do you get a sense of accomplishment by humiliating women?" Chu Xu stood up and looked down at him condescendingly: "I remember you have a sister too..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Lei's expression changed.

Chu Xu sneered: "Can you empathize with me now?"

"Mr. Chu, I was wrong."

"Go out."

After Sun Lei left, Chu Xu came out of the study and was told by the servant that Chu's father and Chu Yang, the two losers, were still drunk.

He sneered, "Lock the door. If you're useless, just stay in your room and avoid embarrassing yourself by coming out."

All the servants in the house were subdued by him. They had no objection and did as he said.

"By the way, Master, Madam Xiao is waiting for you in the living room."

Chu Xu's eyes moved, and there seemed to be a dark light flashing in his eyes.

When I arrived at the living room, I saw Old Mrs. Xiao sitting on the sofa. She was dressed in black, her hair was neatly tied up, her face was calm, and she looked majestic without being angry.

"Grandma Xiao."

He shouted, and Mrs. Xiao looked over when she heard it.

The old man was old, and his eyes were cloudy, but very sharp, and at this moment, they revealed a coldness.

"Ah Xu, since you called me 'Grandma', I want to ask you something now. Please tell me the truth."

Old Madam Xiao's face was tense, and her voice was neither hurried nor slow: "The Xiao family has sent news that Ah Yun was seriously injured on the way home last night. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Chu Xu paused: "Seriously injured?"

He sneered. According to the information provided by Sun Lei, Xiao Yun was indeed shot, but he was still able to move freely when escaping, and did not look like he was seriously injured at all.

"Grandma Xiao, I did send people to ambush him. Xiao Yun was slightly injured, but not seriously. I did lose quite a few men..."

Before she could finish her words, Madam Xiao slammed the table. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Chu Xu with disappointment and anger.

"The gunshot wound was only a finger's distance from the heart. You wanted Xiao Yun to die. Ah Xu, how did the Xiao family wrong you? How did Ah Yun wrong you?"

She originally thought that Chu Xu only developed a hatred towards Xiao Yun because of his father's constant suppression and comparison, and that he did so many ridiculous things because he was a child and couldn't control his temper.

But now, five years have passed, he is almost thirty years old, and he is no longer a child.

"That's a human life. Ah Yun and you used to be like brothers, you two were best friends. How did you become like this?"

Chu Xu's face was cold and his tone was stiff: "Grandma Xiao, I deliberately sent you away to target Xiao Yun. I didn't kill his closest relatives. I have left room for maneuver."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she suddenly realized something and looked shocked.

Killing the one closest to you...

"Wait, what do you mean? Explain clearly. Did you misunderstand something..."

"What did I misunderstand?" Chu Xu suddenly became furious: "He killed my grandmother. Tell me, should I take action against him?"

"No, that's not the case!" Old Madam Xiao quickly shook her head and reached out to pull him, but Chu Xu shook her hand away.

"Grandma Xiao, judging from your reaction, you should know something."

Chu Xu's face was solemn, as if he was talking to himself: "Yes, Xiao Yun is your grandson, and you live under the same roof. This matter should not be hidden from you."

"Listen to me and don't make assumptions!" Old Madam Xiao was anxious and spoke very quickly, "Your grandmother's attending physician was indeed arranged by Xiao Yun, but that doctor is an authority on the treatment of lung cancer. He is trying to save your grandmother, not harm her!"

"Of course I know that the doctor is an authoritative expert."

How could he not investigate the doctor's qualifications before treating his grandmother?

"Medical skills are authoritative, but if he was arranged by Xiao Yun, his medical ethics cannot be guaranteed."

Chu Xu's eyes were red, full of hatred: "Because of the wrong things I did in the past, he holds a grudge against me, I can understand. I can also accept him taking revenge on me, but I can't accept him attacking my grandmother!"

"Yes, my dearest one died, and it really made me feel so sad that I wanted to die. Xiao Yun achieved his goal. He successfully made me know the price of offending him."

Old Madam Xiao was going crazy. What Ah Yun said was indeed right.

Even if the truth was told to Chu Xu, he would not believe it and would only believe what he thought. He even came up with such a reasonable explanation, which was completely contrary to the facts.

The kid is becoming increasingly paranoid.

Madam Xiao took a deep breath and said, "You are wrong. The facts are completely opposite to what you guessed. I know you don't believe Xiao Yun, but please believe me."

Chu Xu looked at her steadily with a cold expression.

After a long pause, he sneered, "Xiao Yun is your grandson. Are you afraid I'll kill him? Comparing a grandson with an estranged old friend, which is more important? The answer is obvious."

Old Madam Xiao looked stunned and opened her mouth but no sound came out.

At this moment, she truly realized that Chu Xu and Xiao Yun, two once close brothers and good friends, had reached a point where they were at loggerheads and could not reconcile.
