"Grandpa Pang, I know a little about the affairs of the five major families. What puzzles me is what happened between the Pang family, the Long family and the Wang family back then." Zhou Yi said.
Pang Tian turned his head to look out the window, constantly adjusting his fluctuating emotions. What happened back then had troubled him for more than ten years, making him feel ashamed and regretful.
After a long while, Pang Tian sighed and said, "Xiaoyi, I regret it. The two worst choices I made in my life were both because I didn't listen to Brother Zhi's advice. Oh, that's your grandfather. The first time, Brother Zhi told me not to have too much contact with the Wang family, but I didn't listen. Later, Brother Zhi reminded me to be more reserved, but I didn't listen either. In the end... Sigh!"
Zhou Yi didn't say anything after listening to this. Choice is very important. Different choices will lead to completely different development trajectories.
If the Pang family had chosen to believe their grandfather back then, the Pang family and the Su family would definitely be in a different situation now.
But she didn't say anything. No one can ensure that they are always sober and calm, and that the choices they make in their life are correct.
After a while, Pang Tian continued to slowly talk about the things between the Pang family and the Wang family, and the Wang family and the Long family.
Back then, when the Wang family had not yet started, old man Wang Taichun had always wanted to integrate into the five major families of Jinghai. He didn't even have the chance to get close to the Su, Qin and Li families, so he could only start with the Pang and Long families.
Pang Tian has always treated Wang Taichun as an errand boy because the Wang and Pang families have business dealings. To put it bluntly, Wang Taichun can only get some decent business orders by relying on Pang Tian.
After a few interactions, Pang Bing and Wang Kangguo also started to have dealings with each other, and even developed new business without Pang Tian's knowledge.
Because of the interactions between Pang Bing and Wang Kangguo, his son Pang Long also came into close contact with Wang Kangguo.
As for that fatal herbal medicine business, Pang Long was determined to make his own achievements, so he took over the business without telling the Pang family and Wang Kangguo.
The introducer was none other than Long Yingnian, something Zhou Yi had heard of before.
When Pang Tian received the news that Pang Long and Wang Kangguo had taken over the business, it was already too late.
At that time, Pang Tian analyzed that this matter was caused by Long Yingnian and wanted to go to his house to find him. However, before he arrived, he received the news of death from the Long family.
After Long Yingnian died, the Long family was left with only a widow and a young child, so Pang Tian did not come to visit.
At the same time, something happened to the Li family in Jinghai, affecting the whole family. Only Li Zhao, who was far away, survived.
Regarding the Li family incident, Su Wenzhi had firmly stated that someone had framed them.
As for the Wang family and the Long family, on the surface the Wang family seems to be running errands for the Pang family, but in fact they are the lackeys of the Long family.
Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this and asked, "Did my grandfather know about the relationship between the Wang and Long families back then?"
Pang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhi should have known about this, and the Li family's affairs should also be the work of the Long and Wang families. I guess the reason why Brother Zhi lost his life is that, first, he had been investigating the Li family's affairs, and second, he found out that Long Yingnian was not dead."
"If the Long family and the Wang family are in partnership, then Wang Kangguo's death has no impact on their cooperation? Why did the Wang family blame the Su family for Wang Kangguo's death?" Zhou Yi had never thought that the Long family and the Wang family were related because Pang Long and Wang Kangguo lost their lives together back then.
What's strange is that the Wang family didn't seek to settle accounts with the Long family, the instigator of the incident, but instead put the blame on the Su family. This is totally unconscionable.
"First, the Long family has something on the Wang family. Second, when Wang Guokang got into trouble, Long Yingnian kept telling the Wang family and our Pang family how he tried his best to find a solution, but in the end he failed to save the person. He looked so sincere that it was hard to arouse suspicion." Pang Tian sighed.
After a pause, he continued, "But in reality, Long Yingnian did nothing but talk. Brother Zhi, on the other hand, ran around everywhere for Long Er and Wang Kangguo's affairs, even offending many people and affecting his own future. But Brother Zhi didn't say a word to us."
"Also, before the incident with Long'er, Xiaorou stayed away from Jinghai because of your father. I was already a little concerned about this matter. Adding to the incident with Long'er, I had a misunderstanding about Brother Zhi at the time and had a lot of opinions about him. My attitude towards him could be said to be very bad." After Pang Tian finished speaking, he closed his eyes with a look of shame.
"Then Grandpa Pang, how did you later find out all these things about my grandfather?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Your grandfather and I had some mutual friends back then. They couldn't stand the bad attitude I had always shown towards Brother Zhi, so they came to me and told me what Brother Zhi had done to save Pang Long." Pang Tian's eyes became even redder when he said this.
"Although I knew in my heart how much Brother Zhi had sacrificed at that time, I was too embarrassed to face him because of my reputation. In addition, Long'er was gone, and our Pang family was in grief, so we chose to leave Jinghai. But I never expected that less than a year after we left, Brother Zhi would..." Tears welled up in the corners of Pang Tian's eyes.
He never expected that Su Wenzhi would suddenly lose his life. Whenever Pang Tian thought of his bad attitude towards Su Wenzhi, he felt ashamed.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that Su Wenzhi passed away before he could thank or apologize to him. This was a lifelong regret for Pang Tian.
So he vowed to find out who killed Su Wenzhi and bring them to justice.
However, more than ten years have passed, and Pang Tian still hasn't found those who killed Su Wenzhi. So far, there are only some clues and speculations.
When he heard Zhou Yi say that Xian Dong was present at the time, Pang Tiancai was certain that the people who killed Su Wenzhi were the Long family and the Wang family.
As for whether Wang Taichun and Long Yingnian were present, Zhou had to meet them before he could confirm it.
But whether they are present or not, it is inseparable from them.
After listening to what Pang Tian said, Zhou Yi basically confirmed that the people who killed her grandfather were, in addition to Xian Dong, the other two were Long Yingnian and Wang Taichun.
However, it's funny to say that Zhou Yi has never seen any photos of Wang Taichun and Long Yingnian, let alone met them in person.
"Grandpa Pang, where is Long Yingnian now?" Zhou Yi asked after sorting out his emotions.
Pang Tian frowned, looking reluctant to answer Zhou Yi's question.
"Grandpa Pang, do you have photos of Wang Taichun and Long Yingnian? I want to confirm whether they are the ones who killed grandpa." Zhou Yi said.
She could see that Pang Tian didn't want to get involved in this matter, but if it was confirmed that Long Yingnian and Wang Taichun were the ones who killed her grandfather and had been targeting the Su family, then they would run into them sooner or later.
Even if Pang Tian didn't say it, she would go and check, and the situation would be relatively passive then.
Pang Tian thought for a while and said, "I do have the photos, but I have to look for them in the study."
"Then let's go look for it now?" Zhou Yi said.
