Chapter 419: Returning from the Path
Fourteen felt strange and asked, "What's the matter that makes you so hesitant? Do you want me to help Situ? If you really want to say so, just say it. It's not difficult to say it, right? Do I look so fussy?"
Nangong Yu sighed, "That's not what I want to talk about. I just want to ask you, you've been going to Su Mo's place a lot recently, have you seen Yi Mu and how he's doing recently?"
At this moment, Fourteen was hesitant to speak.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Tell me the truth! I'm already mentally prepared."
"His condition is really bad right now. He just drinks all day to numb himself. We've talked to him too much, but he still thinks we're annoying. Now he's even moved to Macau to gamble all day. Mingli and I went to Macau once to persuade him to come back, but he refused to come. We're all at our wit's end now. I think we should..."
"You must never tell him anything."
"Why are you doing this? He's in such a bad state that even outsiders like us can't bear to see him like this. As his father, can you bear to see him continue to be depressed like this? After all, if you tell him what happened, your sister won't lose a hair. If you don't care about him anymore, I'm afraid he will really be ruined."
"If he's useless, then so be it. If he's defeated so easily, then he's not worthy of being my son. I'll just treat him as dead."
"I've never met a father as cruel as you. I don't care about your affairs anymore. Do whatever you want!"
Just then, Situ opened the door and came in, accompanied by their long-lost friend Zhang Fanxi.
Nangong Yu came over and hugged him, then said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last met. How are you doing recently? Are your wife and children all right?"
Fanxi: "I'm sorry to have worried you. Everything is fine with our family, but I don't know if it's the same for you guys."
Situ: "We heard what you just said. Next time if you want to tell someone a secret, please keep your voice down, otherwise the whole neighborhood will hear it."
Nangong Yu: "Ha, I didn't expect you to laugh at me on our first meeting after such a long separation."
Fan Xi stuffed a note into his pocket and said, "The 60 million RMB in this account has been cleared. Leave Yi Mu's affairs to me!"
Nangong Yu looked at Situ and said, "Tell him everything."
Situ spread his hands and said, "I didn't say a word about Wanwan. As for Yi Mu, maybe he guessed it."
Nangong Yu: "I can no longer decide anyone's decision. I really have no way to deal with you young people."
Vansh: "You two have saved my life. No matter what that man's name is, I have already treated him as a brother. Don't worry! I will definitely bring him back safe and sound."
After saying that, he slowly left the villa alone.
Nangong Yu took out the note from his pocket and said, "He is a true man who values friendship and loyalty. If my son could be half as mature as him and not be so rebellious like a teenager, I wouldn't be so worried."
Situ: "With this money, we don't have to worry about not being able to find that old fox Xin Yu."
Nangong Yu: "If it's a fox, there will be a day when its tail will be exposed. I'm afraid that if we don't look for him, he will come to us on his own initiative."
Fourteen: "Will there be such a good thing?"
Nangong Yu: "Then let me ask you, when Michael mentioned the arms business, what did you think of?"
Fourteen: "Is there any need to ask? Of course it's Duanmu Yanbin, Xiahou Xuan, and the idiot Xue Jiacheng. Why are they all suspects?"
Nangong Yu: "Yes, so I have another task for you. Go and monitor Xia Houxuan for me."
Situ: "Why him and not the other two?"
Nangong Yu: "I don't know either, just take it as my intuition!"
Fourteen: "Yes, sir. I'll do it right away."
Zhang Fanxi said goodbye to his wife and children, saying that he was going on a business trip, but in fact he was going to Macau alone to find Yi Mu.
He searched every casino but couldn't find Yi Mu. When he was about to give up and prepare to go back, he remembered the promise he made to Nangong Yu, and then remembered Jun Lan's love for Yi Mu. Although middle-aged people can't always say that they were born for promises, there is always a sense of moral responsibility that drives you to hold on.
Usually Fan Xi likes to hang out in casinos and wait for people to come. Now, with his last bit of hope, he goes to the alleys near the casino to try his luck, hoping to find Yi Mu.
There was no sign of human activity in the dim alley, only cockroaches and rats running around among the sewage.
"Oh!" The whole alley was filled with only Fanxi's sigh.
Just as he turned around and walked back in disappointment, he suddenly seemed to hear someone retching.
Vansh stopped and carefully identified the source of the sound.
He slowly walked towards the sound of low breathing, and finally found Yi Mu, who was drunk and dreaming, under a pile of garbage.
Fan Xi was still somewhat unfamiliar with the person in front of him, because he had only seen this face in photos, and it was completely different from the person he used to work with and spend every day with.
But the familiar feeling still made him help the person in front of him up without hesitation. Fan Xi staggered and dragged Yi Mu back to the hotel where they were staying.
Yi Mu's whole body was smelly, so Fan Xi pulled him into the bathroom and washed him from head to toe.
It was not until noon the next day that Yi Mu slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Fan Xi beside him, his expression showed a moment of surprise and then he fell into a long daze.
He shouted loudly: "I want to drink and gamble, no one can stop me."
Without saying a word, Fan Xi took out a bottle of beer from the mini refrigerator, opened the bottle and poured it directly on Yi Mu's head.
Yi Mu was shivering all over because of the cold beer that suddenly hit him.
He pushed Fanxi away with both hands and cursed madly: "Fuck you, your ancestors! Are you blind? I want to drink, not get drunk!"
Fanxi ignored him and continued to pour the remaining beer on Yi Mu.
This completely enraged Yi Mu, and he also pounced on Fan Xi, but he missed and fell to the ground because he was too weak.
Fan Xi then took advantage of the situation and pulled him by the hair and dragged him to the mirror.
Fan Xi pointed at Yi Mu in the mirror and said, "Look at this loser in front of you. Is this you? Are you still the man Jun Lan loves deeply? Do you still remember how many children you have at home waiting for your care? But look at yourself now. You can't even stand up and fight back. What qualifications do you have to be someone's father? Jun Lan will never rest in peace in her grave!"
Yi Mu looked at himself in the mirror and lowered his head deeply.
Fan Xi: "Jun Lan is dead. Do you think you are the only one who is sad in the world? Do you think I am doing well? I cry behind people's smiles every day. Do you know what that feels like? Of course you don't know, because you are a fucking rubbish rich second generation. Without your brother, you are nothing. You can't even survive by picking up trash on the street!"
Yi Mu yelled, "That's enough, stop talking."
Fan Xi: "Did I say anything wrong? If you have the guts, get up and fight me. Wake up! If it weren't for your brother and Jun Lan, I wouldn't bother trying to persuade you."
