Chapter 724 Hold Back the Impulse
After the first trial, Shao Tianze’s suspicion was reduced a lot, but he still could not leave the detention center.
Shao Tianze did not care if he was in the detention center.
However, Gu Changle was very anxious. After the trial, Gu Changle complained to Shao Tianze, “I gave Lawyer Meng the money he requested, but he didn’t get you released. Idiot.”
Hearing Gu Changle’s opinion on Meng Youran, Shao Tianze was silent for a while and said, “Don’t judge Lawyer Meng casually.”
“Why? I can’t comment on the lawyer recognized by Gu Changge?”
“Gu Changge never met him. She just heard of him.” Shao Tianze said.
Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Gu Changle felt even more dissatisfied, “She appraised a lawyer, who she had never met, as a good lawyer, and so did you. You believe what she said. Why do you trust her judgment so much?”
Shao Tianze did not speak.
However, he did not deny Gu Changge’s view.
Compared to Gu Changle, Gu Changge was indeed better than her in every aspect.
However, if a woman did not treat her man tenderly but powerfully stood on the same level as her man or even stood in front of him, covering the man with her shadow, she would be disgusted by her man, no matter how excellent she was.
Gu Changge was a good example.
Shao Tianze chose Gu Changle because Gu Changle did not have strong abilities or powerful status.
Around Shao Tianze were the policemen who would escort him to the detention center.
Gu Changle wanted to stop them and said a few more words with Shao Tianze.
However, the policemen would not kindly make an exception for her.
Gu Changle had to give up the idea of talking with Shao Tianze. She looked at Shao Tianze with love and worry, “After the second trial, you will be released. Tianze, take care of yourself in the detention center.”
Shao Tianze nodded and urged her, “I’m OK. Don’t stay here anymore. Go back to the hotel quickly.”
Shao Tianze’s words meant more than what he said.
The words had a double meaning.
Gu Changle also understood the two meaning.
She nodded, “Don’t worry. I’ll do it well.”
The first meaning was that she should take care of herself.
The second was that she should closely keep an eye on Luo Chen.
However, he could not speak bluntly in front of the police.
He could only hope that Gu Changle could understand. Moreover, in the current situation, Gu Changle should treat Luo Chen better.
After leaving the court, Gu Changle went directly to the hotel where Shao Xue and Luo Xi held their wedding.
Luo Chen was detained in the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Although the decoration of the bas.e.m.e.nt was like the presidential suite of the hotel, Luo Chen was unwilling and irritable as a detained prisoner.
He frowned tightly after seeing Gu Changle and the bodyguards opened the door and walked to him.
He asked Gu Changle, “Why doesn’t Shao Tianze come to visit me?”
“Tianze is busy. He has no time for you.”
Gu Changle would not tell him what had happened to Shao Tianze.
However, Luo Chen was smart. After thinking for a while, he sneered, “What is he busy with?”
“It’s none of your business.”
Gu Changle’s tone was rude.
Luo Chen coldly said, “Is he busy getting away with the accusation?”
What Luo Chen said was the truth.
Gu Changle’s expression froze. Immediately, she turned angry from embarra.s.sment, “Is anyone here delivering messages to you?”
Gu Changle’s words showed that she had admitted. Luo Chen called her an idiot in his heart.
Gu Changle and Gu Changge were both from the Gu Family. Why were their brains so different?
Luo Chen had been just guessing, deliberately tricking her. He did not expect that she believed it.
Not only did she believe it, but she also questioned her bodyguard, “Who has been in contact with him recently?”
The bodyguard thought for a while and said, “A bodyguard surnamed Zhang.”
“Drive him away immediately. Find someone who can keep a secret to watch him.”
Hearing Gu Changle’s words, Luo Chen looked at her mockingly, “Under the current situation, why don’t you release me?”
“Why should I let you go?” Gu Changle furrowed her brow and stared at Luo Chen.
As long as Shao Tianze did not instruct her to set Luo Chen free, she would not do it. How naive!
Looking at Gu Changle, Luo Chen thought about what Shao Tianze would be accused of.
He could guess a little, believing that Shao Tianze tried to murder Luo Jiachi but failed. Maybe Shao Tianze had completely broken up with the Luo Family.
“Has Luo Xi controlled the Luo Family?”
Luo Chen asked Gu Changle.
Gu Changle frigidly said, “Your father is too useless. He is in the hospital now, and the inexperienced b*stard has got the power.”
Luo Chen laughed, “In fact, he should have given it to me.”
“What you said is worthless. You are now detained here by us.”
As Gu Changle was speaking, she even felt smug.
Nevertheless, Luo Chen only felt that the woman was brainless, “What is your purpose of detaining me here?”
Gu Changle did not speak.
Luo Chen said, “Since Shao Tianze has tried to hurt my father, the b*stard brought up by him will no longer listen to you or continue to cooperate with you.”
“So what?” Gu Changle still did not get it.
Luo Chen had to say it plainly, “But you can cooperate with me.”
“Cooperate with you?” Gu Changle laughed, “What would be the benefits of working with you? Don’t forget that now your father is lying in the hospital and the owner of the Luo Family is Luo Xi. With the conflict between your nephew and you, what do you think your nephew will allow you to get?”
“He will not give me any benefits.” Luo Chen said.
Gu Changle chuckled, “Since you know it, why do you ask us to cooperate with you? Only fools will cooperate with useless people like you.”
Hearing Gu Changle pompously mocking him, Luo Chen knitted his brows, “What about Shao Tianze? I want to talk to him face to face.”
“No way.” Gu Changle immediately refused on behalf of Shao Tianze, “Our Shao Family will not work with someone like you who has nothing. Stay here obediently. We will release you when we are going back to Yuncheng.”
Gu Changle seemed to be talking to a prisoner.
Luo Chen sneered, “I hope you won’t let me wait too long.”
He and Gu Changle could not reach cooperation.
Gu Changle was too stupid to understand the current situation and Luo Chen’s ideas.
This woman was short-sighted and knew nothing.
By Shao Tianze’s side, she was just a paper tiger who relied on the man to act like a tyrant.
Compared with Gu Changge back then, Gu Changle did not have a single good point.
After speaking with him, Gu Changle gave a cold snort and left the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Luo Chen tightened his jaw.
His fingers were also slowly clenched into fists.
He could not reach cooperation with Gu Changle, but maybe he could negotiate and cooperate with Shao Tianze.
Because Shao Tianze was smarter than this blockhead.
He could not leave this bas.e.m.e.nt in a short time and had to stay here to wait for Shao Tianze’s arrival.
Luo Chen was waiting calmly, but Luo Xi didn’t.
Zang Linger could spy on news in Harbor City as simply as taking something from her own pocket.
After Zang Linger learned where Luo Chen was, she immediately informed Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan relayed the news to Shao Xue at once and instructed Shao Xue to tell Luo Xi what to do next.
Song Yunxuan truthfully conveyed Song Yunxuan’s words to Luo Xi.
After learning where Luo Chen was being held, Luo Xi clenched a firm fist.
Luo Xi desperately wanted to punch Luo Chen to death when he saw his unfilial uncle.
Shao Xue understood his thoughts and persuaded him, “Luo Xi, you should look at the big picture. It’s inappropriate to treat your uncle cruelly now.”
Song Yunxuan’s meaning was very simple. It was not that they could not avenge Luo Chen, but they could not do it now.
Because that Luo Chen did not show up when Luo Xi and Shao Tianze were in the lawsuit had already aroused suspicion.
If they eliminated or injured Luo Chen now and the media got the news, Luo Chen would get huge attention in an instant.
As despicable as Luo Chen was, his death would only cause the media to brutally criticize Luo Xi for being inhumane.
If he did not die, he would definitely use this opportunity to seize the dominance of the Luo Family.
Luo Xi was still young. If he competed head-to-head with Luo Chen, he might not be able to win.
Therefore, in the current situation, they had better pursue stability and not deal with Luo Chen.
Luo Xi and Shao Xue were in the car going to the bas.e.m.e.nt of the hotel to meet Luo Chen. Luo Xi clenched his fingers and said to Shao Xue, “Do you know? It is because of him that my grandfather becomes like this.”
“Luo Xi, it has already happened. We cannot change the past. Why don’t we have a good grasp of the future?” Shao Xue actively stretched out her hand, held Luo Xi’s hand, looked at him with a smile, and comforted, “Although your grandfather can’t speak now, I believe your grandfather must want you to stay in the Luo Family, manage the Luo Family’s a.s.sets well, and develop the Luo Family.”
Luo Xi understood what Shao Xue said.
However, he felt that this time they had let Luo Chen off lightly.
“Luo Xi, you have to be patient. Only those who can endure can make great achievements.”
Song Yunxuan once said the sentence to her. Now Shao Xue used these words to comfort Luo Xi.
Luo Xi pursed his lips and did not speak for a long while.
Shao Xue stared at him, “Luo Xi, we just got married. Grandpa cannot support us. No one else can stand with us or help us. We can’t make mistakes.”
Luo Xi nodded, “I understand everything you said.”
“Therefore, when we see Luo Chen later, don’t hurt him, OK?”
Shao Xue tried to persuade him one last time.
Seeing Shao Xue’s worried eyes, Luo Xi nodded, “Don’t worry. I will act with propriety.”
If he had to be patient, he would endure it. After this period of time, he would deal with Luo Chen.
