Chapter 205 We Are Family

"This is a police station! Xue Fei, you're being too bold! If you don't want things to escalate, leave quickly!" Director Wang scolded.

As soon as his words fell, a Kullen SUV sped up and parked next to the Land Rover. Chu Haoran got out slowly, walked up to Chu Yuxuan, and greeted him with a polite smile before turning his attention to Xue Fei. "How about I join you for a bit of fun?"

The short-haired man named Cui Zhe, who had accompanied Chu Haoran when he took Ye Tianyi from Zhao Yanan's underground garage, also got out of the SUV. His gaze was cold and hostile as he stared at Xue Fei.

"Sure, I'll play along until the end!" Xue Fei said fiercely, glaring at Chu Yuxuan for a moment before getting into his car and leaving.

Chu Haoran took a deep breath and introduced Cui Zhe to Chu Yuxuan. "Yuxuan, let me introduce you. This is my private lawyer and good friend, Cui Zhe. I can't intervene in Xue family's affairs easily, but if you need help, I can have Cui Zhe assist you. He has extensive connections."

Chu Yuxuan glanced sideways at Cui Zhe and asked Chu Haoran, "Big Brother, what are you planning?"

"Did you forget? I still owe you a favor from last time," Chu Haoran replied.

"No need," Chu Yuxuan said coldly, preparing to leave with Lao Wu.

As he turned around, Chu Haoran said, "Chu Yuxuan, how long are you going to keep up this act?"

Chu Yuxuan suddenly stopped, turned slowly to look at him, and said nothing.

"Your acting is too clumsy. It might fool my dad and aunt, but it won't fool my grandpa. It's pointless," Chu Haoran said. "Be honest. I know you're back in the country for revenge and probably have little interest in the Chu family, right?"

Chu Yuxuan smiled faintly. "It seems Big Brother is quite determined about the Chu family."

Chu Haoran chuckled. "Elders have their own battles; we younger ones should avoid conflict. Chu Yuxuan, I want to tell you that we should just focus on our own matters. You seek your revenge, and I will seize my power. It's best if we don't interfere with each other."

"Big Brother, you're quite direct. I'm impressed."

"I don't like beating around the bush," Chu Haoran said. "My dad is greedy and unambitious, my aunt is just an outsider, and my uncle... he might be suitable to lead the Chu family, but he's too ruthless. If he becomes the leader, the main and second branches will be left with no way out, especially the second branch. Didn't my aunt previously join forces with the Gao family to report my uncle? You should imagine how miserable her outcome would be."

Chu Yuxuan's eyes flickered. "You know quite a bit."

Chu Haoran smiled. "To take over the Chu family, one needs to consider every aspect and know every person involved. I need to know a bit about everyone, including you... I received news just now that you stabbed Xue Can at the Red Building?"

Chu Yuxuan felt an unspoken pressure from this cousin. He said calmly, "You're quite well-informed."

"Hehe... I assume that stabbing him wasn't just an impulse? Today, Xue Fei made a deal with your father, and Xue Can will likely be confined somewhere. Since your father wouldn't tell you where Xue Can's family is, and you're eager to get Xue Can's life, you stabbed him to send him to the hospital, hoping it would make it easier for you to find him?"

Chu Yuxuan remained silent. This Chu Haoran was indeed not to be underestimated.

Chu Haoran continued, "However, you might have miscalculated. Xue Can won't go to the hospital. His father is more cautious than you can imagine. Since you've torn your face with the Xue family, how could he let his son make another public appearance? He will have a doctor come to their home to treat his son."

Chu Yuxuan frowned. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chu Haoran said, "What I want to say is that the Chu family can have internal conflicts, but outsiders bullying us is unacceptable. So, tonight, you can go to the Hanhai Huansu East District D08. There, you'll find the answers you seek. I hope this helps repay your favor."

Chu Yuxuan was silent. He had plenty of ways to find Xue Can, but since Chu Haoran volunteered this information, he decided not to refuse. After a moment, he smiled. "Since we're at this point, why don't you tell me what kind of person Xue Can's father really is?"

Chu Haoran blinked and, after a pause, said, "Xue Can's real surname isn't Xue; it's Cao."

Chu Yuxuan's eyebrows knitted together. Cao… is he the same Mr. Cao he encountered at the Red Building?

Chu Haoran smiled. "It seems you've figured out who it is. In the Jiangcheng officialdom, there's only one person with the surname Cao. Haha... The villa I mentioned was actually bought by your father. The real owner... is our Jiangcheng's mayor, Cao Wangzu, who is also your father's umbrella."

No wonder Chu Zhijing kept enduring Xue Can!

"I've dismantled Chu Zhijing's umbrella. Shouldn't you use the opportunity to deal with him using that surname? Why are you helping me instead?" Chu Yuxuan said with a sneer. "Your actions have left me puzzled. Brother..."

Chu Haoran pursed his lips. "When you reach my level, you'll understand that everything I do is for the Chu family. Yuxuan, we are family, not enemies."

Chu Yuxuan said, "Family my *ss."
