Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Song Yao could tell that Cen Mo was in an excellent mood today. She knew it must have something to do with his revenge.

Song Yao had already seen on the news today that Chu Xun was dead…

What surprised Song Yao was that the Chus didn’t mention that it was murder, but instead, claimed that Chu Xun committed suicide!

It was Chu Xun’s father, Chu Fangzheng, who personally divulged the news to the media. No ceremony was held…

Chu Xun’s father bowed and apologized to the public, the media, and Lin Nuan, saying that Chu Xun had chosen this way to depart from the world out of guilt. He hoped that everyone could forgive Chu Xun and not harp on the misgivings of someone who was deceased, that she already knew she was wrong!

Someone had died… to ask for forgiveness. Even though there were still some people scolding Chu Xun online, people knew to respect the dead. Therefore, the majority of the netizens who scolded Chu Xun had stopped. Some people even regretted leaving comments too harsh previously, for although Chu Xun was guilty, it wasn’t a sin that warranted death.

After Chu Xun’s death, there were visibly fewer people who called Chu Xun an ingrate and berated her for stealing someone else’s news.

But, was Chu Xun really dead? From Cen Mo’s expression, Song Yao felt it wasn’t the case…

If she were really dead, Cen Mo likely wouldn’t be so happy!

Based on Song Yao’s understanding of Cen Mo, even if he had the urge to kill her when he saw the video, since she caused Lu Xiangsi’s death, Cen Mo would surely make her suffer before allowing her to die!

Actually, the day Chu Xun went to the airport, she sent her father Chu Fangzheng a message, telling him to announce to the outside world that she was already dead…

Firstly, it was so as not to implicate the Chu Group’s image, causing the Chu Group’s share price to fall any further!

Secondly, it was to convince the people who hired hitmen to kill her. She wanted them to truly believe she was dead and stop coming after her!

Originally, Cen Mo had only wanted Chu Xun to tire from running away, but he hadn’t imagined that Chu Xun would resort to such a foolish tactic, getting her father to announce her death…

Cen Mo had thought that Chu Xun would run back home or call back home for help as she did in the past, getting her family to arrange mercenaries around her to ensure her safety!

Actually, it wasn’t that Chu Xun was foolish, she simply knew her own father too well…

Back then, Chu Fangzheng was willing to spend an exorbitant sum to hire mercenaries to protect Chu Xun because she was the Chu family’s pride, the youngest female reporter in history to have obtained the Pulitzer Prize and the Ronald Reagan Media Award.

Such a reputation made Chu Xun the pride of the Chu family. She was a walking sign board for the Chu Group!

But now, Chu Xun had a stinky reputation, and the share price of the Chu Group was falling. Chu Fangzheng was thus incredibly busy with the Chu Group’s matters, so how could he spare the energy to take care of Chu Xun?

When Chu Xun told Chu Fangzheng that someone was after her life, Chu Fangzheng angrily berated Chu Xun for being paranoid—who would want to kill Chu Xun? Never mind the fact that those people who had initially came after Chu Xun for her involvement in the exposure of the human trafficking news had already vanished. Now everyone was aware of the fact that it was Lin Nuan who found the evidence. Even if those people were seeking revenge, they would be seeking Lin Nuan and not Chu Xun. He asked Chu Xun not to add to his troubles, for he was troubled enough for the Chu Group right now!

There had been no response from the Jiahe Corporation, and every minute and second was torturous to Chu Fangzheng.

The Chus… were cold to their own kin. It was precisely because Chu Xun knew this very well that she didn’t explain things further to Chu Fangzheng. Instead, she offered a second suggestion, which was to get Chu Fangzheng to announce her death to the media, to paint a picture of her being remorseful. That way, the Chu Group might be able to salvage part of their image.

Chu Fangzheng gave Chu Xun a good scolding, and then Chu Xun raised the matter of her being chased after for her life again. She said she wanted to live and not add trouble to the family, and this was the best solution…

This was to put the hearts of those who took her money at ease. Otherwise, those people said they would kill the entire Chu family—this was something both Chu Xun and Chu Fangzheng didn’t wish to see!

After a long hesitation, Chu Fangzheng agreed.

After all, Chu Xun was his daughter, so Chu Fangzheng also reminded Chu Xun to take note of her safety. He would get his assistant to transfer money to Chu Xun’s account and send her an allowance regularly. He asked Chu Xun to inform him timely should she change her identity so that he would know if she was still alive and where she was…

Chu Xun used an American identity to buy a plane ticket from New York to Missouri.

St. Louis of Missouri was the city in America with the highest crime rate in recent years and was extremely unsafe. Chu Xun had a house there under her American identity, but when the plane landed, she changed her mind, and instead, chose to settle down in a hotel in Missouri’s largest city, Kansas City!

After settling down at the hotel, just after Chu Xun had taken a shower and come out of the bathroom, she smelled thick smoke. Very quickly, the hotel sounded the fire alarm.

The bathrobe-clad Chu Xun flusteredly grabbed her bag, unable to care about her other belongings, before running for her life out of the thick smoke.

The hotel’s guests were gathered downstairs. The fire was quite serious. Chu Xun, who was blackened from the smoke, went to a secluded corner and glanced inside the only bag she had managed to bring downstairs. The remaining five passports were gone, and only her Filipino passport, gun, and wallet were inside…

Very quickly, the firemen and police arrived!

The hotel’s staff cooperated with the police and verified the identity and information of each guest, then sent the guests to settle down in other hotels. They said that the police would look for them and register their losses, as well as help the foreign guests contact their ambassadors.

Chu Xun gripped the bag in her hands. Her passport and identity were fake, so how could she have the guts to register with the police!

The name Chu Xun must not appear in the world again. She looked at the police doing the registration in the distance, then gritted her teeth and wrapped herself with her filthy bathrobe before leaving with her bag.

That night, Chu Xun only dared to look for an extremely rundown motel to stay for the night. Thankfully, she still had her cards, wallet, and money.

Chu Xun, whose nerves were in a highly-strung state, was extremely tired. However, she was unwilling to sleep on the motel bed. After all, it was unknown what lovers did on the bed, and whether the bed sheets were clean was another mystery.

The exhausted Chu Xun just laid down on the sofa. She wrapped herself firmly with the bathrobe and curled up on the sofa, not knowing what she had done to land herself in this state.

She couldn’t help but cry. Tears drenched the sofa’s armrest. Chu Xun tried not to make any sounds as she was sobbing, and it wasn’t long before she felt out of breath. She sat upright and reached out for a tissue, but she discovered that the tissue box was empty.

Chu Xun broke down. She grabbed the tissue box in frustration, wanting to smash it on the ground. But she had just raised the tissue box up high before lowering it down. What right did she have to lose her temper now!

Choked up, Chu Xun set down the tissue box. She curled up on the sofa in the dark room, helpless and consumed by despair. From her blurry vision, she vaguely saw something blocking the light from the corridor outside under the door crack.
