Tai Wu hurried back to Tai's house.
He was worried that his grandfather couldn't bear such a blow.
However, to Tai Wu's surprise, Grandpa Tai looked in good spirits. When Tai Wu returned home, Grandpa Tai was actually practicing calligraphy in the study!
"grandfather?"
Tai Wu strode into the study.
Mr. Tai is finishing a calligraphy piece. The four words "obey the law" are written with such force that a murderous aura can be felt through the paper.
"Xiaowu is back."
Mr. Tai put down the brush in his hand and said, "Let me see how my handwriting is."
Tai Wu was shocked and took a step back: "Is what happened to my dad true?"
"Whether it's true or false, it's not up to me or you to decide. We have to trust the police investigation. They won't let a bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person."
Mr. Tai's words were suggestive, and Tai Wu felt heavy-hearted.
"Grandpa, why is he like this?"
Although Zhang Zhijun was engaged in smuggling, he did live the life of a wealthy businessman over the years and at least enjoyed material things.
So what was his father’s purpose in getting involved in smuggling?
Tai Wu did not think that the Tai family lived a very extravagant life. Although Tai Wu was uneducated, he had never spent a lot of money from his family. In the past, when a few friends hung out together, it was basically Peng Guoqing who paid for it.
Tai Wu and his friends didn't mean to take advantage of Peng Guoqing. It was just that their families were not as wealthy as Peng's. With the same spending habits, their pocket money could only last them the first half of the month, while Peng Guoqing's pocket money was enough to take a few people out for fun for the entire month!
Peng Ningkang had a big business, and Zhu Xiao was very spoiled, so Peng Guoqing had the most pocket money among his friends. This made sense, and Tai Wu had never envied Peng Guoqing in this regard. It was only natural for a son to spend his father's money!
Tai Wu is not compared with Peng Guoqing because his father Tai Zheng chose a different path from Peng Ningkang.
The reason why Tai Zheng has been able to ignore his illegitimate daughter for so many years is not only because he respects the agreement with Shen Errong, but also because Tai Zheng himself is very careful about his reputation.
If Tai Zheng wants to climb higher, he must not have any stain on himself!
Tai Wu found it ridiculous that a man who didn't even dare to acknowledge his illegitimate daughter actually partnered with Zhang Zhijun in smuggling.
What made Tai Wu even more uneasy was that other members of the Tai family were also taken away for questioning.
Is it not just his father who is in partnership with Zhang Zhijun?
Can the entire Tai family still be saved? !
Old Master Tai could see the panic on Tai Wu's face.
——Although Xiaowu has grown a lot, he hasn’t experienced anything big yet.
Old Master Tai slowed down his voice. "I'm his father, and I'm responsible for his mistakes because I should have disciplined him but didn't. You're just his son, and you're not responsible for his actions. Didn't you say something similar to your father? No one can prosper forever. If the Tai family can't make it through this, it means the Tai family's luck has run out. Perhaps, the Tai family's luck should have run out more than 20 years ago. I was unwilling to accept this, and neither was your father. We tried to force the Tai family to prosper, and this is the result. We gritted our teeth and refused to retreat when we could have made a dignified exit, but ended up in such a mess! It's my fault. I'm not as open-minded as your Grandpa Zhang."
Old Master Tai seemed to be sighing and blaming himself.
Tai Wu was completely stunned.
"grandfather……"
Old Master Tai looked at Tai Wu with loving eyes. "Xiao Wu, you are a good child. When you were a child, you were in poor health, and your mother doted on you. She kept a close eye on you, so your father and I couldn't interfere too much with your education. Maybe that's why you don't look like a member of the Tai family. You are more open-minded... This is good. The rise and fall of the family is not something you should bear alone. Xiao Wu, you have to live your life well."
The old man's words sounded like he was making arrangements for his funeral.
A chill ran up from the soles of Tai Wu's feet.
It was scary enough that Tai Zheng was Zhang Zhijun's accomplice, but Tai Wulian didn't even dare to think about the deeper level.
"grandfather!"
Tai Wu gritted his teeth, his body shaking violently, the cold air invading his whole body made his voice as soft as a mosquito.
"Don't be afraid. When you get older, you'll have a lot of regrets. Your uncle just called and said the police are questioning your mother. The Tai family is really sorry for your mother. She didn't enjoy the happiness of marrying into the Tai family for a few years, but suffered a lot. Even after the divorce, she was dragged down by your father. I can't move around right now, so you can go to the Shen family for me and reassure your uncle and others. Just tell them that whoever did something wrong should be punished, and the Tai family won't drag your mother down with them."
Old Master Tai saw that Tai Wu was scared, so he assigned Tai Wu a small task.
Apart from Tai Wu, no one else is suitable to go to the Shen family now.
Tai Wu was still shaking. Old Man Tai patted him on the shoulder and said sternly, "Use your ability to get this done. If you can't even handle this little bit of pressure, how can you live a good life in the future?"
Tai Wu tried to straighten his back, "Okay, I'll go!"
Mr. Tai finally showed a relieved smile.
"Go ahead, let the Shen family rest assured and you can come back earlier. Grandpa will wait for you for dinner."
Tai Wu nodded, turned and left.
Only Mr. Tai was left in the study.
The old man moved the four words "obey the law" on the desk to the side, turned around and took out an old file bag from the depths of the bookshelf, and put on his reading glasses before opening it and reading it.
The yellowed paper documents have an old smell, just like the old smell of Mr. Tai.
The matter that should have been resolved long ago has never been resolved. The abscess slowly turned into a tumor in Tai's body, and it was a malignant late-stage tumor.
Mr. Tai put the documents away and took out a stack of blank letter paper.
The police have no concrete evidence that Mr. Tai is involved in the smuggling case.
Even if there was evidence pointing to Mr. Tai, the police would have to get approval from higher authorities to take away a senior officer like him. This would cause too much commotion, so the other members of the Tai family were taken away for questioning, while Mr. Tai stayed at home.
