I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

After that fierce street fight, Chen Jue and Yang Xiu successfully subdued the killer.

Night fell over the capital, and the moonlight shone in the alleys, casting a hazy shadow. Chen Jue and Yang Xiu took the injured assassin back to the Dali Temple.

As soon as he returned to the Dali Temple, Chen Jue immediately began to interrogate the killer.

There was a tense atmosphere in the interrogation room. The flickering candlelight shone on the killers' pale and tired faces.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Chen Jue stared at the killer with sharp eyes, and his voice was low and majestic.

The killers lowered their heads and remained silent. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "We won't say anything. We're all going to die anyway."

Chen Jue sneered: "If you tell the truth, you may still have a chance of survival. If you resist stubbornly, you will be punished more severely."

Yang Xiu also said: "You are accomplices of the evil, helping the tyrant to commit atrocities. Don't you want to atone for your crimes? As long as you reveal the mastermind behind it, you can get a chance to be punished leniently."

The killers remained unmoved, and the interrogation reached a stalemate. Chen Jue frowned, thinking about countermeasures.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that one of the killers' wounds was bleeding, and if not treated in time, his life might be in danger. Although these killers were enemies, the justice in Chen Jue's heart did not allow him to ignore life.

"Yang Xiu, you take care of them first. I'll go get some medicine." After Chen Jue said this, he turned and went out.

After a while, Chen Jue came back with a medicine box. He walked to the injured killer, squatted down, and began to bandage his wound. The killers looked at Chen Jue's actions in surprise, with a hint of doubt and emotion in their eyes.

"Why did you save me?" the injured killer couldn't help but ask.

As Chen Jue bandaged the wound, he said, "I am the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. It is my duty to uphold justice. Life is precious. Even if you have committed a crime, you should receive basic medical treatment. Now, you can choose to continue to resist, or you can choose to confess and gain some hope for your future."

Chen Jue's words seemed to touch the killer's heart, and a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, another killer snorted coldly: "Don't listen to his lies, he just wants to trick you into talking, and when you do, he will still kill us."

Chen Jue stood up and swept his eyes majestically over all the assassins: "I, Chen Jue, swear on the honor of the Dali Temple Shaoqing that as long as you tell the truth, I will fight for a chance for lenient punishment for you according to the law. You also saw that I could have let him bleed, but I didn't, because I respect every life, and I hope you can give yourself a chance to start a new life."

The injured killer bit his lip and said hesitantly: "I...I will trust you once, but you have to ensure our safety."

Chen Jue nodded: "As long as you cooperate, I will protect you. Tell me, who sent you here?"

The injured killer looked at his companions and took a deep breath: "It's the Lin family. The master of the Lin family is afraid that you will be involved in the investigation of the Yang family's corruption case, so he paid us to kill you and silence you."

Yang Xiu's eyes lit up: "Lin family? What other plots or plans do they have?"

The killer shook his head. "We are just following orders. We don't know the details. However, I seem to have heard them mention that there is a place outside the city where some important things are hidden. It may be related to this matter."

Chen Jue and Yang Xiu looked at each other and made up their minds. Chen Jue continued to ask, "Then how did you get in touch with the Lin family? Who gave the orders for each mission?"

The killer replied: "We have a contact person, who always conveys the tasks and rewards to us. But the contact person is very mysterious, and we don't know his true identity. We only know that he always waits for us in a dilapidated temple outside the city."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Did the Lin family give you any special instructions or instructions for this operation?"

The killer thought for a moment and said, "Master Lin said that we must do it cleanly and without leaving any evidence. He also said that if we succeed, there will be a big reward. If we fail, we should not return alive to avoid exposing them."

Chen Jue sneered: "This Lin family is really cruel and ruthless. Do you know who else the Lin family has in the court?"

The killers looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Seeing that he could not get any new clues, Chen Jue said to Yang Xiu, "Yang Xiu, you keep an eye on them first. I will arrange the next step."

After successfully obtaining some key clues from the killer, Chen Jue and Yang Xiu both breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time, they were exhausted physically and mentally in order to track down the Yang family's corruption case and deal with various emergencies. Chen Jue looked at Yang Xiu and felt grateful. He knew that Yang Xiu had paid a lot in this process, not only assisting in the investigation, but also always sticking to his bottom line and justice in the face of family changes and external pressure.

"Yang Xiu, come to my house for dinner tonight and relax." Chen Jue invited sincerely.

Yang Xiu hesitated. He looked at Chen Jue and thought of Chen Jia. He felt a little uneasy. Since the incident with the Yang family, the relationship between him and Chen Jia has become subtle. He didn't know what Chen Jia's attitude towards him was now. But looking at Chen Jue's enthusiastic eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded: "Okay, then I'll bother Master Chen and Chen Jia."

In the evening, Chen Jue brought Yang Xiu to his home. Chen Jia was busy in the kitchen. When she heard footsteps, she came out. When she saw Yang Xiu, her expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to calm.

"Yang Xiu is here, please come in and sit down." Chen Jia's tone was flat, without much emotion.

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Jia'er, let's have a good meal tonight. Everyone has worked hard during this period. Yang Xiu helped me a lot, and we must thank him."

Chen Jia nodded slightly, turned around and walked back into the kitchen. Yang Xiu stood in the living room, feeling a little uneasy. He looked at the familiar environment, his heart full of emotion. Once upon a time, he felt at ease here like a family, but now, everything has changed.

After a while, the meal was ready, and Chen Jia served the dishes one by one on the table. The three of them sat around the table, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward and silent.

Chen Jue was the first to break the silence: "Come, let's eat first. Jiaer's cooking skills are getting better and better." He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and then praised it endlessly.

Yang Xiu also picked up his chopsticks and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Chen and Chen Jia, for your hospitality."

Chen Jia looked at them with mixed feelings. She was actually still a little uncomfortable with Yang Xiu, after all, the Yang family's affairs had brought a great shock to their family. But she also knew that Yang Xiu was innocent, and he had been trying to help Chen Jue find the truth and run for justice. She sighed in her heart and decided to let go of her prejudice and treat Yang Xiu well.

"Yang Xiu, eat more. You have worked hard during this period." Chen Jia said as she picked up a piece of food for Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu was flattered and said quickly, "Thank you, Chen Jia. You can eat too."

The atmosphere at the table gradually eased, and Chen Jue and Yang Xiu began to talk about the progress of the case and the next plan. Chen Jia listened quietly at the side, occasionally interjecting a few words.

"According to the clues provided by the killer, we have to go outside the city tomorrow to look for the place where the evidence of the Lin family's crimes may be hidden." Chen Jue said.

"Well, I think we have to be careful. Maybe the Lin family has already noticed it and will set a trap there." Yang Xiu responded.

Chen Jia said worriedly: "You must pay attention to safety and don't take it lightly."

Chen Jue nodded: "Don't worry, Jia'er. We will be careful. Yang Xiu, we can't make any mistakes this time. We must find solid evidence and bring the Lin family to justice."

Yang Xiu said firmly: "Master Chen, I will do my best. I also hope to make some amends for the Yang family and not let those corrupt people get away with it."

After hearing Yang Xiu say this, Chen Jia's opinion of him changed a little. She could feel Yang Xiu's sincerity and determination, and also understood the pressure he was under during this difficult period.

"Yang Xiu, I believe in you. If we work together, we will definitely be able to reveal the truth." Chen Jia said, with a gleam of encouragement in his eyes.

Yang Xiu looked at Chen Jia gratefully: "Thank you, Chen Jia. I know I disappointed you before, but I will prove myself with my actions."

The dinner ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. Afterwards, Chen Jue and Yang Xiu discussed some details in the study room and did not leave until late at night.

Yang Xiu was walking on the way home, feeling filled with emotion.
