Although Zhang Laowu felt that the cave he had found was very well hidden, and that no one else but himself could find it.
However, considering Zhang Jizhou's identity, I heard that he was an all-rounder in the military and was also very good at detective work.
He didn't know what Zhang Jizhou and Fang Yan had gone up the mountain to do today.
Could it be that they went to investigate the cave where he hid his antiques?
Otherwise, why would Zhang Jizhou choose this particular time? He had just revealed Xue Wanxue's death and the mystery of her origins.
After revealing these things, he took Fang Yan up the mountain...
The more Zhang Laowu thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Jizhou had taken Fang Yan up the mountain to find the cave where he hid his antiques.
People with a guilty conscience will look at anything they feel guilty about, regardless of what it is.
Furthermore, someone like Zhang Laowu would probably never have imagined, even if he racked his brains, that Zhang Jizhou took Fang Yan to Lion Roar Ridge just for a date.
Big Fatty didn't get to go to Fang Yan's courtyard to eat and drink to his heart's content today.
Moreover, Zhang Jizhou hit his foot with a stone, and the pain still makes him resent Zhang Jizhou to this day.
And then there's Qibei, who hung him halfway up the wall, making him lose all face.
Sooner or later, I will definitely kill that beast!
The chubby boy gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice, but his gaze fell on Zhang Laowu with a sinister look. This old bastard had shot himself in the foot today. He would remember this debt and one day he would definitely get his revenge.
This child, spoiled to the point of being heartless, no longer knows what propriety, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness are.
All he knew was that those who obeyed him would prosper, and those who defied him would perish.
Well, he hasn't started reading yet, so he doesn't know the true meaning of that sentence.
All he knows is that he'll be good to whoever treats him like a master, gives him good food and drink, and preferably gives him money.
He'll find a chance to kill anyone who treats him badly, or even hits him!
Anyway, his dad said that a capable man will quietly kill everyone he doesn't like.
In this way, one's life will be most comfortable and peaceful.
Old Zhang taught him this way because after the New Year, the chubby boy would be ten years old.
Next September, no matter how much he causes trouble, we'll have to send him back to school.
In September of this year, we originally planned to send him to school.
But at that time, the chubby boy absolutely refused.
At that time, it had just happened that Zhang Laowu and Fang Baishuang had conspired to use Xiaoyuzai to lure Fang Yan to Lion Roar Ridge. The whole village disliked Zhang Laowu and the rest of the Zhang family, and even isolated them.
The chubby boy used this as an excuse, saying, "Nobody likes me, nobody talks to me, so I don't want to go to school."
Given this situation, Zhang Laowu did not insist.
However, we will have to send him to school next year. It's not good to let him play at home all the time.
Fearing that his precious son would be bullied at school, Zhang Laowu secretly taught him some ruthless tactics.
He felt that he was teaching his child how to protect himself.
Little did they know that, not to mention that the chubby boy was already spoiled by them, even if he were a child with sound moral character, teaching him like this before he had the ability to judge for himself was like sending him down a dead end.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Big Fatty felt that his dad was acting strangely today.
Still lost in his own thoughts, Zhang Laowu said impatiently, "You're just a child, don't meddle in adult matters."
If Zhang Laowu were to glance at him now, he would find that his precious son's eyes were even more sinister and terrifying, just like the way he often stared into Fang Yan's eyes.
Zhang Laowu's mind is now entirely focused on his antiques; he has no interest in anything else.
He wouldn't feel at ease unless he personally checked whether the antiques hidden on Lion's Roar Ridge were still intact.
He would look up at the sky every now and then, wishing it would get dark immediately.
He's a very patient and composed person. Even if he's anxious and afraid of being discovered, he won't go up Lion's Roar Ridge before dark.
Time seemed to slow down thousands of times compared to usual. After a long wait, it finally got past 7 p.m. and the sky began to darken.
Only then did Zhang Laowu dare to quietly go out.
Little did he know that shortly after he left, the chubby boy followed him out.
During dinner tonight, his dad seemed distracted; something must be wrong!
He had to wait until dark to sneak out; what that old man was going to do was definitely not something good.
The chubby boy thought to himself that he must go and see if his father had really done something bad.
If his father dares to disobey him in the future, he will use this matter to threaten his father.
Tonight, it's slightly chilly, moonless, starless, and pitch black.
After finishing his meal, Zhang Jizhou spent a long time talking to Zhong Huaizheng before finally getting him to agree to let him go out for two hours.
According to their plan, two hours would be enough to deal with Zhang Laowu.
But they didn't expect that a small accident would happen—the big fat boy would follow Zhang Laowu.
It was Zhang Jizhou who discovered this.
Once Fang Yan was sure that Zhang Laowu had left the village, she gently nudged him, signaling whether she could follow him.
Just as Zhang Jizhou was about to nod in response, he suddenly heard footsteps again.
The other person might not understand the details of tailing and following. Although they were being careful, their footsteps were still slightly heavy, and anyone with slightly sensitive hearing could hear them.
It's because Zhang Laowu is old that he can't hear.
Zhang Jizhou put his arm around Fang Yan's shoulder and gently pressed down, indicating that she should squat down again and calm down.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, a chubby, dark figure walked past them, closely following Zhang Laowu's footsteps.
Fang Yan stared in disbelief until they had walked some distance away and were sure they wouldn't be seen by them, then she whispered to Zhang Jizhou, "Was that person who just walked past Big Fatty?"
Judging from her figure, she should be right.
Zhang Jizhou's answer confirmed her guess: "It was him."
"Why is he also following Zhang Laowu?"
Fang Yan was puzzled.
A child not even ten years old, out following his father in the middle of the night?!
After a moment of silence in the darkness, Zhang Jizhou said, "Only he knows why he followed his father."
However, because of his unexpected appearance, we have to change our route and plans.
Their original plan was to follow Zhang Laowu and then, when the opportunity arose, carry out the plan for Xue Wanxue's soul to come and take Zhang Laowu's life.
But now, Zhang Laowu has a little tail following him.
The previous plans had to be changed.
