During this time, Ding Ba and Gongsun Yu were very close. With his silver tongue, he managed to extract information about the current situation of the Gongsun family from Gongsun Yu. Although Gong Yi was a powerful figure in charge, things seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, there were undercurrents and constant intrigue.

Gong Yi has fifty or sixty grandsons and great-grandsons, a huge number. Just as the nine sons of the dragon are all different, these fifty or sixty descendants are all of different character, some good and some bad. Moreover, Gong Yi is too old to personally teach these descendants, and he can't even remember all of their names.

However, due to Gong Yi's high-pressure tactics, this large family is relatively harmonious, at least on the surface.

However, this period of harmony was disrupted because Gong Yi was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was not long for life. His descendants, who had been suppressed for a long time, could not hold back any longer and fought fiercely over the inheritance, almost resulting in a death.

“My nephew said that the eldest son’s family is making the biggest fuss. Because they are the eldest son’s family, they think they should inherit 90% of the estate, while the other two families can only get 10%. The eldest son’s family is just waiting for the old man to die!” Ding Ba sneered.

Gongsun Yu is from the second wife's family. Because of her intelligence and quick wit, she has been taught by Gong Yi over the past few years. She has become a thorn in the side of the first wife's family, and there have even been several accidents that almost led to serious consequences.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that the eldest son's branch was responsible, no one else in the Gongsun family, except for the eldest son's ruthless nature, would commit such a heinous act of fratricide.

"Not everyone in the eldest branch of the family is bad. The worst are Gongsun Yu's cousins, Gongsun Gui and Gongsun Jue. These two act differently. Gongsun Gui is insidious and mysterious, while Gongsun Jue is violent and ruthless. I heard that he also has dealings with the Yamaguchi-gumi in my country and does whatever it takes."

Ding Ba recounted the information he had gathered over the past few days, and Lu Mo's expression turned solemn. He hadn't expected the Gongsun family to be in such turmoil, and Ding Ba's decision to give up his property was the right one.

No matter how much wealth you have, you still have to live to enjoy it.

"Luckily you didn't take the inheritance. That's how big families are; the richer they are, the more unsettled they become. It's much more comfortable and carefree for us ordinary folks." He Weishao patted his chest.

Goodness, he even has connections with the underworld. No matter how tempting money may be, he'll remain unmoved; his life is the most important thing.

Ding Ba shrugged and took another sip of wine. "Actually, I've figured it out. I have enough money to live on. What's the point of having so much money? We only live once. We can only eat and drink so much. There's no need to take that risk. Besides, I don't even know what my biological father's surname is. If I find him later, I'll have to change my name again. Ding Ba is fine. It saves me the trouble of changing it again and again!"

Although the hope of finding his biological father was extremely slim, Dingba still did not give up hope.

We've even found my maternal grandfather, so who knows, maybe one day we'll find my biological parents and maternal grandparents too!

In his heart, he still preferred to be closer to his parents. The Gongsun family was too far away and not suitable for a carefree playboy like him. It was only because his grandfather was still alive that he would have little contact with the Gongsun family after his grandfather passed away.

Lu Mo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "You'll find him. Maybe he's looking for you and your child too!"

“Yes, don’t give up. Maybe your biological father is also a rich man who has no children and is just waiting for you to go back and inherit his fortune!” He Weishao joked.

Ding Ba laughed, "You might as well say my real father is the king!"

All three laughed, tapped the bottles together, making a crisp sound, and the heavy atmosphere immediately lightened. He Weishao then began to talk about his business during this period.

"Speaking of having no children, I actually have a very wealthy man here, a Chinese man, whose name is also strange, Inukai Yoshi.
