Just as this dramatic ethical struggle was unfolding in the Du family.
Inside the golden courtyard, two people were enjoying tea.
"Young Marshal, you and Miss Du seemed to be getting along quite well, how could you just stand by and watch the show like this!" Feng Jiu asked, looking puzzled.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "Since we're going to cooperate with the Du family, we need to understand each other clearly. Otherwise, how can you tell if they're human or ghost?"
Feng Jiu shook her head helplessly, "Actually, Grandpa Du is a pretty good person, he's kind-hearted!"
"It's because he's soft-hearted. You have to push him a bit, otherwise, he'll ruin everything because of his soft heart!" Lin Yu said calmly.
"What if Miss Du is that kind of person too?"
Lin Yu said calmly, "Of course I know she's that kind of person. From the time we were on the bus, even though she knew someone didn't want her to go back to Jinling, she still couldn't help but risk getting off the bus to save people. I knew then that she and her grandfather were the same kind of people!"
"so……"
"So let her sleep it off. When she wakes up from her dream, it will all be over!"
Lin Yu sighed and said, "People have to go through some ups and downs to grow, but there are some things that don't need to be personally involved in. Some of life's hardships are unnecessary to endure!"
"Ultimately, this is her grandfather's responsibility. If he wanted her to take the position, he should have cleared all obstacles for her instead of leaving the trouble for her!" Lin Yu said calmly.
Feng Jiu wore an expression of deep agreement, then said, "I've already checked. There are dozens of guns in the courtyard! In the end, it will probably be up to you, Young Marshal, to take action!"
Lin Yu nodded. "When cooperating with others, you have to show some sincerity. However, the timing of your appearance is very important. Whether it's offering help in a critical moment or adding to someone's success, there's a lot to it!"
Feng Jiu gave a wry smile, "Young Marshal, the way you are, I suddenly have a feeling! You seem to be a person!"
Lin Yu frowned. "Who?"
"Who else could it be but the Commander-in-Chief! You two are practically cut from the same cloth, both cunning and ruthless..."
Feng Jiu was about to continue speaking when she suddenly stopped, because a pair of murderous eyes were looking at her.
"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.
Feng Jiu smiled awkwardly and said sheepishly, "Young Marshal, I was just joking. I won't dare to do it again next time!"
Lin Yu snorted and shook his head, saying, "A year ago, if you had mentioned that old guy to me, I really would have sent you to meet the King of Hell. But in the past year, after experiencing a lot, I've come to understand him a little better..."
Feng Jiu pursed her lips. "Yes, but to be honest, the Marshal's feelings for you... at least, Lin Chuang is his own flesh and blood. For you, he would rather..."
"I know!"
Lin Yu chuckled lightly, "However, Lin Chuang is not Du Xiaoman, and I am not Zhu Yeqing! Merit is merit, and fault is fault. As for the suffering my mother endured, I have no right to forgive him!"
...
At this moment, by the pond.
Du Xiaoman has already been taken away by the servants.
The rest of them will be put to trial!
Xu Huai-ren has lost too much blood and is on the verge of death.
Liu Yunli knelt on the ground, trembling.
"dad……"
"Don't call me Dad!" Du Wensheng interrupted coldly. "You're not Xiaoman. Calling me Dad won't save your life! Considering your actions in the company and the gang, forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices, I seem to have no reason not to kill you!"
Liu Yunli bit her red lips tightly. "Grandpa, I was wrong, but no matter what, I have been the Du family's daughter-in-law for so many years. At home, I pay my respects to you morning and evening and make arrangements for you. Outside the home, I am also extremely respectful to you. Please spare my life for the sake of the years I have called you Dad!"
"You lowly wench! What right do you have to ask Father for a way to live!"
Du Tao snorted coldly, walked over, grabbed her hair, and kicked her hard in the face.
"We've only been married a short time, and you dare to cheat on me? I've put up with you for twenty years, and I've wanted to kill you for ages!"
Du Tao endured this anger for twenty years before finally letting it out!
Every morning when he woke up, he felt like slitting that whore's throat!
Liu Yunli stared intently at him, "You think you're all that good? You're always out there having affairs, never home. This marriage was just a political alliance, a transaction! It's just that my family fell on hard times not long after I married into this family, and you're resentful, so you're deliberately tormenting me! Du Tao, you're a beast! When I was at home, I was my parents' darling, how dare you treat me like this?!"
In the end, Liu Yunli burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Du Tao's body trembled, and he suddenly slapped her hard across the face. "You filthy bitch, you still dare to talk back! What are you, trying to compare yourself to me! And what is your Liu family! I may have women outside, so what if I make you live a life of widowhood? Now, you lowly servant are useless, I can kill you anytime!"
Du Tao suddenly pulled a dark weapon from his pocket and slammed it hard against Liu Yunli's forehead!
"Enough!"
Just then, Du Wensheng finally couldn't stand it anymore and coldly reprimanded him.
Du Tao looked puzzled. "Dad, this slut has brought great shame to our Du family. Shouldn't she be killed?"
Du Wensheng stared at him and said coldly, "She deserves to die, but you deserve to die even more!"
Du Tao was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
He slowly lowered his gun, nodded, and said, "Yes, I was pretending to be crazy, I was sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight, but wasn't it all for the sake of the Du family's reputation!"
"Besides, you've looked down on me since I was little, thinking I'm incompetent and a good-for-nothing, so I'll just be a spoiled brat! I don't think I've done anything wrong, have I?" Du Tao said with an innocent expression.
"You're a playboy?" Du Wensheng sneered and shook his head. "You're not a playboy at all. On the contrary, you're very shrewd, even shrewder than your elder brother. You pretend to be crazy, indulge in drinking, gambling, and whoring, and have no desires. That way, I won't suspect you of your elder brother's death. Am I right?"
Du Tao's body trembled violently. He stared at Du Wensheng in disbelief, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
"Hehe, Dad, what did you say? I don't understand." Du Tao gave a stiff laugh.
Du Wensheng sneered, "Second brother, you should know what I'm saying! If I wanted to investigate what happened back then, I could still find out the truth now, but why don't I? Don't you know that?"
"I've been giving you chances all along, and that's been going on for twenty years!"
"But do you have even a shred of the responsibility expected of the second young master of the Green Gang? Have you put in even the slightest effort for the Du family or the gang?"
"Your shrewdness and cleverness have all been used for infighting within the family! That's bad enough, but in the end, you went so far as to kill your own niece, sending people to ambush her on the way! Tell me, how can I forgive you?!" Du Wensheng shouted, trembling.
"Dad, I..." For a moment, Du Tao was speechless. His eyes were wide open like lanterns.
He never expected that, from beginning to end, this father had seen everything clearly.
Seeing his son's embarrassed look, Du Wensheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and shook his head, saying, "Second son, you have disappointed me greatly!"
