Moreover, the Xia family members all hold high positions in their respective fields, enjoying immense prestige. It's a pity, though, that while the Xia family patriarch has three daughters, he only has one son – you!
Logically speaking, now that Guo Zhen has returned to his biological parents, he should behave himself.
But who would have thought that this person, insatiable in his greed, would also covet his adoptive parents' connections and wealth... Tsk tsk tsk, how utterly shameless and brazen!
Xia Wan became more and more excited as she spoke, to the point that she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she looked at the documents in her hand.
The constant exclamations nearly caused Xia Jianguo to drop the ingredients he was holding directly into the pot several times.
Finally, Xia Jianguo could no longer bear it. With a helpless look, he turned to his daughter and said irritably, "Hey, Xia, can't you calm down a little? Can't you just watch quietly by yourself? Why do you have to make such a fuss!"
Xia Wan sighed: "Old Xia, you're a descendant of a hero. Your father seems to have a tough life. He took in a good-for-nothing like Xia Jianlin and raised an ingrate like Guo Zhen. Aren't you going back to help him?"
Looking at his daughter's expression, Xia Jianguo couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasing, "Oh ho, when did our little Xia become so compassionate? What, aren't you worried about wasting time now?"
Xia Wan wasn't angry at her father's words, but she shut her mouth and stopped talking, turning her attention back to the matter at hand.
On another note, Guo Zhen's father, the man named Guo Guanghua, had been scheming against the Xia family ever since he found his biological son.
It turns out that the two families had a history of feuds.
Back when Grandpa Xia was searching everywhere for his biological children, Guo Guanghua had already secretly made his move.
Surprisingly, he found Xia Jianguo even faster than the Xia family.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to carefully arrange for A Yue to arrive at Huaihua Brigade ahead of time, and use various means to lure Old Man Xia and others, ultimately successfully persuading Xia Jianlin to go and recognize his relatives in place of Xia Jianguo.
As for the servants of the Guo family, they were all passed down through generations of the Guo family.
The master that A-Yue was referring to was undoubtedly Guo Guanghua.
Although the Guo family now has very few servants left, Guo Guanghua is able to make the most of these few people and maximize their effectiveness.
The person Guo Guanghua specially dispatched to keep a close eye on his father's every move was not only A Yue, but also another guy named Guo Zheng.
This person, like A-Yue, worked at a large steel factory in the county.
Before Guo Zhen arrived at the Yongmao County Steel Plant, Guo Zheng was responsible for relaying various important messages between A Yue and Guo Guanghua, who was far away in Beijing.
However, things don't always go as planned. Just recently, Guo Zheng unexpectedly married a local woman and started a family, and soon they had a child.
As a result, Guo Guanghua couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that Guo Zheng would gradually slip out of his control due to being bogged down in family matters.
After careful consideration, Guo Guanghua made a decisive move and without hesitation parachuted his own son here to serve as the deputy director of the steel plant.
In fact, even though Guo Zheng had already entered into marriage and had a son, he never had the slightest thought of betraying his master, Guo Guanghua.
Unfortunately, ever since Guo Zhen arrived, he has been extremely picky and deliberately made things difficult for Guo Zheng. What's worse, Guo Zhen's actions even caused Guo Zheng's wife to miscarry.
This incident intensified Guo Zheng's resentment towards Guo Zhen, leading to a growing tension and estrangement between the two.
Even under these circumstances, Guo Zheng remains utterly loyal to his master, Guo Guanghua.
Despite his deep resentment towards Guo Zhen, he remained steadfast in his duty, sending letters to Beijing on time to ensure that Guo Guanghua was kept informed of everything happening there.
Xia Wan was so surprised by the scene before her that she couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
She thought to herself: Guo Zheng's servility is actually quite high. Even in the face of this situation, he can still swallow his anger and not completely fall out with Guo Zhen's father.
However, at this moment, Guo Zheng was unaware of another, even more astonishing secret.
If he were to learn this secret, his desire to kill Guo Zhen would likely become incredibly strong.
That heartless Guo Zhen had already secretly given Guo Zheng's eldest son an extremely insidious and vicious slow-acting poison.
Currently, because the child is still young, they cannot feel anything unusual about their body.
However, as time goes by, once the child grows up and gets married, he will realize that he has lost the most basic ability of a man and is unable to have sex with a woman, so he will naturally no longer have the opportunity to carry on the family line!
Let's talk about Guo Zhen's ruthless killing of those intellectuals. In fact, there was absolutely no legitimate or reasonable reason for it.
It was purely due to his extremely twisted jealousy and his chillingly perverse psychology stirring up trouble deep within him! Such irrational behavior is truly infuriating and abhorrent!
