Chapter 160: Interrogation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Chen naturally did not know that the butler had contacted Luo Zhenhua. After taking a shower, he lay comfortably on the bed and prepared to rest.

Recently, there have been too many things going on. He hadn’t enjoyed a good sleep for a long time.

Coincidentally, he had expended some stamina today. As soon as he lay on the bed, sleepiness enveloped him.

However, he was still a little careless this time. When he was taking a shower just now, he realized that there was a small bruise on his abdomen. He probably wasn’t paying attention when he was attacked.

He had to be more careful next time.

As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the urgent ring of the doorbell.

When he arrived at the living room and saw Luo Zhenhua sitting on the sofa with a cold aura around him, his sleepiness instantly dissipated.

“Grandpa, why are you here?”

Luo Chen quickly put on an obedient smile and sat at the side obediently.

“Why am I here? If I hadn’t come, would I have waited for you to drag the entire Luo family down with you?”

Luo Zhenhua’s eyes widened, and he did not hide the dissatisfaction in his words.

Luo Chen immediately turned to look at the butler beside him. He knew that the butler must have secretly called Luo Zhenhua over.

As expected, the butler lowered his head guiltily.

However, Luo Chen didn’t blame him.

If he was in his place, he would have probably made the same choice as the butler.

After all, it was not a good thing to bring back three unconscious people in the middle of the night and hide them in the manor.

The butler probably called Luo Zhenhua over because he was worried that Luo Chen would not be able to handle it.

“Grandpa, let me explain. It’s not what you imagine.”

Luo Chen adjusted his state of mind and suppressed his yawn.

“What am 1 imagining? You’ve only started to behave for two days, and you’re starting to cause trouble for the family again? How many times have I told you? Our Luo family is running a serious business. We can’t do those things that can’t be shown in public.”

Luo Zhenhua reprimanded him in a more serious tone.

Luo Chen had no choice but to listen to his grandfather repeat what he should and should not do.

After more than half an hour, Luo Zhenhua picked up his teacup and took a sip.

“Let me explain! They started it!”

Luo Chen finally seized this opportunity and almost shouted, interrupting Luo Zhenhua.

He could tell that if he allowed his grandfather to do whatever he wanted, no one would be able to sleep tonight. He might not even be able to squeeze in a word tomorrow.

“Hm?”

Luo Zhenhua had said enough. Finally, his eyes narrowed, indicating that Luo Chen could speak.

“Actually, they came to cause trouble first. 1 was purely defending myself.”

Luo Chen’s face was full of sincerity as he tried to explain everything that happened tonight in detail.

However, he still hid the fact that he had a bounty on his head.

After all, Luo Zhenhua might not have had much contact with this aspect. If Luo Zhenhua waved his hand and wanted to handle the whole thing, it would affect Luo Chen’s plan.

To be able to set up such a huge trap, there must be an extraordinary family behind the bounty list. If the information was not transparent and they acted rashly, it would probably implicate the entire Luo family.

Luo Chen had always believed in taking responsibility for his own actions. He did not want to implicate innocent people.

“Are you telling the truth?”

After Luo Zhenhua heard this, his eyes were complicated as he sized up Luo Chen.

“Otherwise? Why would I make up such a story? Besides, I’ve already detained them. If Grandpa doesn’t believe me, we can ask them when they wake up.

I plan to establish a Chamber of Commerce and unite the entire Jiang City. At that time, be it small and medium-sized enterprises or large companies that have already taken shape, there will be benefits. Our Jiang City will also develop better.

Although this is a win-win situation, I was the one who suggested the concept of the Chamber of Commerce. I don’t know how many people are coveting the position of president behind the scenes. It’s only right for them to find trouble with me.

If I hadn’t retaliated back then, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be seeing me here today!

They really want my life!”

The more Luo Chen spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. His sincerity made Luo Zhenhua’s heart melt like cotton candy.

“Alright, then you don’t have to worry about this matter. I want to see if my old face can still subdue this Jiang City.”

A trace of coldness flashed across Luo Zhenhua’s eyes.

He used to be a ruthless person when he was young. Otherwise, the Luo family wouldn’t have developed so much under his leadership.

In the end, not long after he retired and moved behind the scenes, his most valued grandson had suffered such a huge grievance. If he didn’t stand up for Luo Chen, those people would think that there was no one left in the Luo family!

“Grandpa, don’t worry. I can handle it myself. Besides, if I can’t even handle such a small matter well, how can those companies that joined the Chamber of Commerce trust me?”

Luo Chen quickly took over. He couldn’t let Luo Zhenhua interfere too much.

With Luo Zhenhua’s ability, as long as he investigated seriously, he would definitely be able to find out that there were other organizations after Luo Chen.

At that time, the matter of the bounty list couldn’t be hidden anymore.

Luo Chen on the other hand was prepared to deal with it himself. He wanted to use this bounty list to obtain more benefits.

Of course, he couldn’t tell Luo Zhenhua the inside story yet.

“You child…”

Luo Zhenhua sighed. Although he did not finish his sentence, he looked at Luo Chen with too much admiration and pride.

Capable of being responsible for his own actions was something that truly made him worthy of being the heir of the Luo family!

That’s right, although everything was uncertain, in Luo Zhenhua’s heart, Luo Chen was already the undisputed heir.

“Alright, thank you for your concern, Grandpa. However, 1 can resolve these matters myself. Grandpa can just wait for my good news.”

Luo Chen tried his best to persuade Luo Zhenhua to leave.

The huge living room fell silent. The butler’s gaze wavered, but he didn’t dare to look at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was caught between laughter and tears as he glanced at him.

“Alright, there’s no need to be so nervous. I won’t say anything about you. In any case, if 1 were you, I would do the same. Look after those three people. They’re very capable. Try not to let the bodyguards of our manor come into close contact with them and make sure that they won’t escape.”

Luo Chen walked over half angrily, half jokingly as he patted the butler’s shoulder.

“Young Master… I just…”

The butler stuttered for a long time, not knowing how to explain his actions.

According to his understanding, the Young Master had always been temperamental and unpredictable. He would always be punished no matter what he did.

However, from the looks of it, the Young Master really trusted him. He didn’t even listen to his explanation. He merely stretched and left to rest..
