As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father: seeing this, how could the mainland not guess that He Xiulian's death was related to her son?
He immediately cursed under his breath while trying to figure out how to smooth things over with him.
Ultimately, through a series of financial offensives, the matter was finally suppressed.
The official classification is "unexplained unnatural death"...
After recounting the above events, Hu Dalu's expression was extremely complicated.
He glanced guiltily at Zhao Youliang before continuing, "Young man, you can understand what I did, right?"
"That girl...that girl truly died unjustly, and my unfortunate son should indeed pay with his life, but..."
"But he is the only son in my family. If he is executed, my family line will be completely wiped out."
"When I die, how will I have the face to meet my ancestors?"
"Besides, I gave the woman's family a lot of money back then, which is why they stopped pursuing the matter."
Zhao Youliang was unsure how to judge what Hu Dalu had said.
In fact, many things in the world are the same; we have no right to stand on a moral high ground and criticize others.
Moreover, according to Hu Dalu, both sides are at fault, it's just a matter of degree.
One can only lament the decline of morality and the deterioration of the world...
Thinking to himself, Zhao Youliang didn't give Hu Dalu a friendly look either.
"Boss, I understand why the female ghost is looking for you, but what about the male ghost?"
Speaking of male ghosts, Hu Dalu sighed again.
"That man's name is Cheng Chun. He's also an employee of our factory and is in charge of security."
"He had a crush on He Xiulian, but she didn't reciprocate his feelings."
“After He Xiulian died, he thought of harming our family to avenge her.”
"One day, when no one was looking, they set the warehouse on fire, and then..."
"As a result, the fire was discovered in time and was quickly extinguished."
"I didn't lose much money, but he himself couldn't escape the fire and was burned alive."
Zhao Youliang was stunned for a long time upon hearing this, and then sighed for a long time that this person was really unlucky.
Li Mao, who had come along, couldn't help but complain, "Damn, how can this guy be so stupid!"
"His name is Cheng Chun? What a fool!"
Everyone: "......"
Now everything is clear: it's nothing more than the "unlucky lovers" returning for revenge.
Generally speaking, a man named Cheng Chun is relatively easy to deal with, since he got involved voluntarily.
Although he eventually died, he ultimately burned himself to death.
Therefore, even if the resentment is deep, it is not entirely fair to blame Hu Dalu.
The key to breaking the deadlock lies with He Xiulian.
Firstly, she was killed by Hu Xiaochuan; secondly, she was pregnant when she died, so it can be said that she lost both her child and her body.
These guys are all seething with resentment; they're not so easy to deal with...
Thinking of all of the above, and considering the complicated cause and effect involved, Zhao Youliang spoke softly.
"Boss Hu, let me reiterate: I can only help 'negotiate' your business; I will absolutely not bully the other party."
"If the other party is willing to negotiate, that would be best. You should agree to whatever their conditions are."
"If we can't reach an agreement... please ask the boss to find someone else."
"But let me make this clear first, I'm not giving back the money you gave me!"
Now that things have come to this, what can Huludao say? He can only nod and agree with a wry smile.
"Okay, young man, I understand what you're saying."
"Please, try to talk this over... as long as you don't take my son's or my life, anything else is fine!"
"well!!"
After two consecutive sighs, Hu Dalu seemed to have aged considerably.
Seeing this, everyone could only sigh: "The hearts of parents are full of love and concern for their children."
Even though Hu Dalu has character flaws, and is not a very good person, as a father, he doesn't really have many choices.
......
About an hour later, the car stopped in front of a hotel.
Judging from the exterior decoration, this place definitely won't be cheap.
It seems that even the "simple meal" that Hu Dalu mentioned was prepared with care.
Hotel staff were already waiting there, guiding everyone into the largest private room—a room that could accommodate twenty people.
A table full of rare dishes was right in front of him, many of which Zhao Youliang couldn't even name.
Besides the sumptuous meal and high-end cigarettes and alcohol, a young man was already waiting here early on.
However, he looked haggard with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.
Judging from his appearance, Zhao Youliang guessed that the young man must be his son, Hu Xiaochuan, even before Hu Dalu could introduce him.
The young man was quite polite, taking the initiative to stand up and greet them, and led Zhao Youliang and the others to sit down in the main seats.
Hu Dalu sighed again upon seeing this, seemingly lamenting their misfortune and angering at their lack of resistance.
The meal was rather dull, or rather, awkward.
Hu Dalu was making small talk, trying to get closer to Zhao Youliang so that he would help him.
However, Zhao Youliang remained quite indifferent, only responding occasionally.
This wasn't Zhao Youliang deliberately showing off; it was simply that he didn't want to get too close to Hu Dalu.
In fact, shamanic disciples who settle disputes, especially when they focus on negotiation, are just like judges in real life.
It must be based entirely on fairness and justice.
Getting too close to either side can lead to emotional attachments and compromise impartiality.
So, in the awkward silence, all that could be heard was the big yellow dog munching on its rice.
Besides the big yellow dog, Li Mao also ate very happily:
It's like a starving ghost reincarnated; they're scrambling all over the table, eating what's in their bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.
He even tries to steal bones from the dog every now and then... If there weren't enough bones, this guy would probably have been pinned to the ground and rubbed into the ground by the big yellow dog long ago.
Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan seemed to think Li Mao was a disgrace, so they subconsciously kept their distance from him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liao Zhiyuan quietly spoke to Zhao Youliang.
"Quantum Bro, didn't you notice anything strange?"
Zhao Youliang nodded slightly upon hearing this: He had indeed discovered it and was currently pondering it, which was one of the reasons why he hadn't spoken.
"It is indeed a bit strange."
"Logically speaking, if Hu Xiaochuan killed He Xiulian, he should be surrounded by evil aura."
"But now there's none at all, only lifelessness and bad luck. How could this be?"
After listening to Zhao Youliang's words, Liao Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
"Yes, indeed. It seems this matter is not as simple as we thought."
"Oh, by the way, Quantum Bro, I learned a lot of new skills on my trip to Mount Tai, which might come in handy later."
Zhao Youliang was naturally happy that his good friend was making progress; he wasn't the type to be jealous of those around him being better than him.
"Great, it wasn't a wasted trip! Did your master teach you that?"
Liao Zhiyuan smiled wryly upon hearing this: "If only my master were this reliable, I would be self-taught... Just kidding, it was Senior Taishan Ghost who taught me."
"I'll have some tricks up my sleeve when it comes to dealing with evil spirits."
