"When you were still a child, you were willing to give your most important thing to your brother, and you can never get it back."
Zhai Shixiong stood up, walked slowly to Zhai Jiu, and said earnestly: "No matter what you experienced later, the feelings of youth are the purest. Your father has lived a lifetime, and now I miss the past more and more. Those friends who left because of some misunderstandings will never be forgotten."
"Hey, my little son, think about it carefully,"
He walked out of the study slowly, and when he reached the door, he looked back and said, "Contact your eldest brother. The Zhai family needs to be cleaned up."
Zhai Jiu hummed and lowered his eyes again.
After Zhai Shixiong left, Zhai Jiu stood there for a long time.
He called Zhai Zhengrong and heard the familiar voice on the other end. Zhai Jiu's eyes suddenly turned red. He said in a hoarse voice, "Brother,"
Zhai Zhengrong's voice was as steady as ever, and he smiled and replied, "Xiaojiu, what do you want from me?"
Zhai Jiu took a deep breath and explained the matter briefly.
"Brother, I'll have to trouble you to help the other members of the Zhai family."
Zhai Zhengrong was silent for a long time before he spoke in a deep voice: "I checked it two years ago, but I didn't find any problems with Li Shucheng. I didn't expect it to be an old story from more than ten years ago."
He sighed, "It was my negligence."
"Xiaojiu, I understand. Big brother will take care of this matter."
"Um,"
The conversation stopped and for a moment Zhai Jiu didn't know what to say.
All he could hear was Zhai Zhengrong chuckling on the other side, his voice still the same, "Xiaojiu, if the Mu family wants to sow discord between the Zhai and Mu families, they can only start with Lian Shen, but have you ever thought about why the Zhai family is targeting you?"
"Why don't you come after me? I am the head of the Zhai family. Only by attacking me can you achieve better results."
"You two little guys are really... a cause of concern."
Zhai Zhengrong on the other side smiled dotingly and helplessly, then hung up the phone.
Zhai Jiu just held the microphone in a daze, silent and expressionless.
Why are they targeting him? Is it because the relationship between him and Mu Lianshen is the easiest to sow discord?
Yes, other people in the Zhai family don’t have the courage, nor do they have the need to turn against the Mu family, only Zhai Jiu has it.
There was only a grudge between him and Mu Lianshen, whether it was Fu Jingshu or all the emotions he had been suppressing in his heart...
...
Mu Lianshen returned home after arranging everything outside.
After lunch, we didn’t go out and just chatted at home.
He looked at Grandpa Mu and said, "Dad, I asked Uncle Liu to find someone to help with the cooking. He will make lunch and dinner for us."
Mr. Mu nodded, "Don't worry, I've recovered well and am much better than before. Just do your own thing."
Fu Xiao said, "Grandpa, I will come to see you often."
"Okay, okay," Mr. Mu nodded repeatedly with a smile.
The family sat together and talked for a long time.
The sun sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines...
"Are you leaving tomorrow morning?"
Mu Lianshen, who was packing his clothes, looked back at Fu Xiao and said with a smile, "Yes, but there is no rush. Let's have breakfast first."
"Oh," Fu Xiao walked forward and helped him pick up the scattered manuscript papers.
"An An, remember to be safe in everything you do,"
"I know, you too,"
When Chen Ye came to the Mu family, they were having dinner.
He first said hello to Mr. Mu, then looked at Mu Lianshen, "Lian Shen, I have something to tell you."
In the study, after listening to everything Chen Ye said, Mu Lianshen's expression did not change much. He just smiled with an ambiguous meaning.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Ye. "I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything."
Chen Ye nodded and lowered his eyes slightly. "Yes, after all, it has been too long. The people in the unit have been replaced one after another. The leader who was responsible for Li Shucheng's promotion has also stayed at the farm."
"I sent someone to the farm to see if they can find any clues."
Mu Lianshen raised his eyebrows, "Don't hold your hopes too high."
Chen Ye asked in confusion: "This doesn't seem to be a small matter, why aren't you in a hurry?"
"Let him scheme against people's hearts," Mu Lianshen said calmly, "but he doesn't understand Zhai Jiu. No matter how much he hates me, he won't play any tricks. He will only confront me head-on."
"So the person behind this can only cause me trouble."
Chen Ye frowned and asked, "Then how do you know that person won't do anything else?"
"Why not? Hasn't he already done it?" Mu Lianshen sneered.
"Who do you think was behind the Wu family incident some time ago?"
"Who on earth is this person who spares no effort to target you?" Chen Ye looked at him in confusion. "Did you offend such a person when you were carrying out the mission in Hong Kong City before?"
"I have offended many people, but as far as I know, among the major families in Hong Kong City, there is no one who is so unfathomable."
If so, his mission would not be completed by then.
Among the people who later went to Hong Kong City, there were also many families whose fortunes had fallen because of the Mu family, so it was not surprising that they hated him.
But as to who the candidate will be, I believe we will soon know the answer.
After a long silence, Mu Lianshen spoke slowly: "I will return to the northwest tomorrow. Let the Zhai family handle this matter."
"Um,"
Chen Ye chatted with Mu Lianshen for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
Mu Lianshen returned to the dining table and finished dinner together.
At midnight, the tired moon hid in the clouds to rest, leaving only a few stars like on guard, guarding the silent sky.
Zhai family.
Zhai Yumo pushed open the door of Zhai Jiu's study and saw Zhai Jiu as expected.
There was no light in the room and it was very dark. He stood at the door and with the moonlight shining through from outside, he could barely see Zhai Jiu's current appearance.
His eyes were slightly lowered, with a lit cigarette between his lips.
There was a scarlet dot at the end of the smoke, vaguely outlining half of his face.
Seeing him push open the door, Zhai Jiu slowly raised his eyes, and shouted hoarsely through the mist, "What's the matter?"
Zhai Yumo was silent for two seconds, walked into the room, and turned on the light.
The dim lights came on, and Zhai Jiu, who had been hiding in the darkness, returned to the light again.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke softly: "Uncle Mu asked me to give you this."
Then he handed him the box in his hand.
Zhai Jiu took it calmly and said, "Go out."
After Zhai Yumo left, Zhai Jiu's eyes stayed on the box for a long time.
The box was slowly opened...
