Song Yao could tell that Cen Mo was in a good mood today. She knew it must have something to do with the progress of his revenge.
Song Yao had already seen on the news that Chu Xun was dead …
What surprised Song Yao was that the Chu family didn't say that she was killed. Instead, they said that Chu Xun committed suicide!
Chu Xun's father, Chu Fangzheng, personally gave the news to the media without holding any ceremony …
Chu Xun's father bowed and apologized to the media and Lin Nuan at the press conference, saying that Chu Xun died in such a way because she felt guilty. He hoped that the media and the public could forgive Chu Xun and stop pursuing someone who had already passed away. She already knew she was in the wrong!
For a person to use her death … to ask for forgiveness, even if there were still a portion of people online who chased after Chu Xun and scolded her, in the end, the dead should be respected. Most of the people who had previously scolded Chu Xun had already quieted down. There were also some people who regretted that they had gone overboard with their scolding and that Chu Xun didn't deserve to die.
With Chu Xun's death, the number of people talking about her being ungrateful and stealing someone else's news decreased significantly.
But was Chu Xun really dead? Song Yao looked at Cen Mo's expression and felt that it didn't seem like it …
If she was really dead, Cen Mo probably wouldn't be so happy!
Based on Song Yao's understanding of Cen Mo, even if Cen Mo wanted to kill someone after watching the video, that person had killed Lu Xiangsi. Cen Mo would definitely torture her before killing her!
Actually, on the way to the airport that day, Chu Xun sent a message to her biological father, Chu Fangzheng, saying that she was dead for the time being …
Firstly, it was to not affect the Chu Group's image and cause its stock price to continue falling!
Secondly, it was to let the person who hired her to kill her think that she was really dead and stop pursuing her!
Originally, he only wanted Chu Xun to start running for her life. But Cen Mo didn't expect that Chu Xun would make such a stupid move and let her father announce her death …
Cen Mo thought that Chu Xun would escape back to the country or call home to ask for help. Like in the past, she would arrange for mercenaries to protect her!
Actually, it wasn't that Chu Xun was stupid, but that she knew her father, Chu Fangzheng …
Back then, Chu Fangzheng was willing to pay a huge price to arrange for mercenaries to protect Chu Xun because she was the pride of the Chu family. She was the youngest female reporter in history to win the Pulitzer Prize and the Ronald Reagan Prize.
Such an honor made Chu Xun the pride of the Chu family. She could also be considered a brand of the Chu Group!
But now, Chu Xun's reputation was already so bad. Coupled with the fact that the Chu Group's stock price was plummeting, Chu Fangzheng was extremely busy with the Chu Group's matters. How could he have the time to care about Chu Xun?
Chu Xun had just told Chu Fangzheng that someone wanted to kill her, and Chu Fangzheng angrily scolded Chu Xun for having a persecutory delusion. Who would want to kill Chu Xun? Putting aside the fact that the people who wanted to kill Chu Xun because of the human trafficking news had long disappeared, now that everyone knew that it was Lin Nuan who found the evidence, even if those people wanted to kill someone, they would only kill Lin Nuan and not Chu Xun. Chu Fangzheng told Chu Xun not to add to the trouble, as he was currently vexed over the Chu Group!
There was no reply from the Jiahe Corporation. Every minute and every second was torture for Chu Fangzheng.
The Chu family … didn't have much familial love. It was precisely because Chu Xun saw through this that she didn't continue to defend herself to Chu Fangzheng. Instead, she suggested a second idea. She asked Chu Fangzheng to announce to the public that she was already dead. That way, she would appear to be remorseful for the Chu Group.
Chu Fangzheng gave Chu Xun a good scolding. Only then did Chu Xun bring up the matter of her being hunted. She said she wanted to live and didn't want to add trouble to the family. This was the best solution …
This was also to reassure those people who took the money and let her go. Otherwise, those people said they would kill the entire Chu family. This was something neither Chu Xun nor Chu Fangzheng wanted to see!
After hesitating for a long time, Chu Fangzheng still agreed to Chu Xun's request.
After all, Chu Xun was Chu Fangzheng's daughter. Chu Fangzheng still reminded Chu Xun to be careful when she was outside. He got his assistant to transfer money to Chu Xun's bank account, saying that he would give Chu Xun living expenses regularly. He also asked Chu Xun to inform him in time if she changed her identity, letting him know if she was still alive and where she was …
Chu Xun used her American identity to buy a plane ticket from New York to Missouri.
St. Louis, Missouri, had the highest crime rate in the United States in recent years. It was very unsafe, and Chu Xun had a house there with her American identity. But when the plane landed at the airport, she changed her mind and chose to temporarily settle down in a hotel in Missouri's biggest city, Kansas City!
Chu Xun settled down in the hotel. She had just washed up and came out of the bathroom when she smelled thick smoke. Very quickly, the hotel's fire alarm sounded.
Chu Xun was wearing a bathrobe and couldn't be bothered to pack anything. She only had time to grab her bag and escape downstairs amidst the thick smoke.
Downstairs were all the guests staying in the hotel, and the fire was very big. Chu Xun, who was covered in black smoke, looked at the only shoulder bag she had taken when she was escaping. The other five passports were gone, and only the Philippines passport, pistol, and wallet were still there …
Very quickly, the fire department and the police rushed over!
The hotel staff cooperated with the police to verify the identity of the guests one by one, then sent them to other hotels to settle down. They said that the police would then look for them to register their financial losses and help the foreign guests contact the embassy.
Chu Xun clutched the bag in her hand. Her identity passport was fake, so how could she dare to register it with the police!
The name Chu Xun must never appear in this world again. She looked at the police who were still registering in the distance, gritted her teeth, wrapped herself in the dirty bathrobe, and left with the bag in her hand.
That night, Chu Xun only dared to find a small hotel with very poor conditions to stay. Fortunately, she had brought her card and wallet out, and the money was still with her.
Chu Xun, who had been tense the entire day, was exhausted. She wasn't willing to sleep on the bed in a small hotel. Who knew what young couples had done in bed, and whether the bedsheets had been washed clean?
The exhausted Chu Xun lay down on the sofa. She wrapped herself tightly in the bathrobe and curled up there, not knowing how she had ended up in this state.
She couldn't help but wet the sofa's armrest with her tears. Chu Xun held back her cries, and after a while, she felt that she couldn't breathe. She sat up and reached out for a tissue, but she realized that the tissue box was empty.
Chu Xun broke down emotionally. She picked up the tissue box angrily, wanting to smash it, but she put it down again. What right did she have to throw a tantrum now?
Chu Xun put down the tissue box in her hands, feeling helpless and hopeless as she curled up on the sofa in the dark room. With her blurry vision, she vaguely saw that the light coming in from the corridor through the crack in the door seemed to be blocked by something.
