Chapter 424: Suspicion

Song Lin has mixed feelings about Nanping Mountain.

Although his master is Wang Yongnian and his senior brother is Wang De.

But in fact, the one who taught him the most and took care of him was his seventh senior brother Nan Pingshan.

If it weren't for the care of his Seventh Senior Brother, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete even the basic skills, let alone the success he has today.

His father died early, and he had been an apprentice in Yongnian Building for less than two years when his mother, who depended on him for everything, died unexpectedly. He was in a daze, like a walking corpse, and in the end it was his seventh senior brother who helped him with his mother's funeral.

Others say that Senior Brother Seven has a weird temper, is taciturn, and is not an easy person to get along with.

But he knew that the Seventh Senior Brother was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside and not good at expressing himself.

But……

But why did Senior Brother Seven steal the family recipes of Master and his senior brothers?

He could figure out leaving Yongnianlou and starting his own restaurant.

Because a long time ago, Senior Brother Seven said that his dream was to open the greatest restaurant in the world.

But Song Lin couldn't understand why the recipe was stolen!

One day that year, after learning about the recipe incident, Song Lin went to find his seventh senior brother Nan Pingshan angrily.

It's more like he wants a negative answer than a question.

As long as Senior Brother Seven explained, he was willing to believe it! But Senior Brother Seven... Oh no, what did Nanpingshan say?

'I stole it.'

His face was pale, and every word he said was like a stone hitting Song Lin's head, making him dizzy.

From then on, the myth he admired collapsed.

Song Lin complained about Nanping Mountain for many years——

Blame him for betraying his master and the entire sect;

Complain that he didn't do anything to remedy the situation; Complain that he left and never came back;

…

What they complained about most was that Nanpingshan refused to even tell them the news of his death.

At the same time, Song Lin was also very clear.

The grievances of the older generation have nothing to do with Nanzhi.

So after a brief silence, Song Lin solemnly told Nanzhi: "I didn't tell Senior Brother anything about you."

He paused, thinking of something, and his expression suddenly became anxious.

"Did he come to you? What did he say to you?"

He looked as if he was afraid that the child would be bullied.

Nanzhi: “Not really.”

And what kind of image did Master Song have of her? A naive, helpless person? How could he think that Wang De could control her!

Nanzhi was speechless and a little amused.

I couldn't help but be touched by Song Lin's concern.

It was as if the shadow of my grandfather had crossed the long river of time and gently fell on my shoulders again...

Song Lin didn't know what Nanzhi was thinking, but he still didn't give up asking: "Then why did you suddenly mention the eldest brother? There must be a reason."

Nanzhi evaded the question and said:

"I just heard from someone that he just came to Yongnian Building."

As expected, Song Lin expressed the same doubt.

He knows Senior Brother Wang De better than Nanzhi and the others.

So Song Lin knew that for some reason, Wang De would never set foot in this Yongnianlou branch unless it was necessary. Even over the years, he had only been here a few times.

Is this trip really for Nanzhi? Song Lin was a little worried.

He said to Nanzhi: "Don't worry about it. I will help you find out the truth about this matter."

Nanzhi did not stop him, but just agreed.

-After

Nanzhi left the lounge, Song Lin turned around and called Wang De.

Wang De's attitude towards Song Lin was quite kind, much closer than towards Wang Yong.

He asked with a smile:

"Hey, you busy man, how come you have time to call me today? I haven't seen you for the past two or three months, and I thought you had forgotten about me, your senior brother!"

Wang De has a good relationship with all his fellow apprentices, caring and taking care of them like real brothers.

...Except for my seventh senior brother Nanpingshan.

Song Lin was in mixed mood.

But he did not show any abnormality, and asked in a surprised tone:

"Just now I heard from one of my guys that he saw the senior brother at the door, so I called to ask...Why didn't the senior brother come in and sit down before leaving?"

Wang De had anticipated this and gave a flawless answer:

"Oh, I happened to be passing by nearby, and I heard that the branch's business was good recently, so I asked the driver to drive over to take a look."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Then he changed the subject and asked Song Lin about the restaurant, obviously unwilling to talk more about it.

Song Lin patiently exchanged a few words with him.

As he was talking, he suddenly changed the subject: "Big Brother, I want to tell you something."

Wang De didn't take it seriously and asked casually:

"What's up?"

Song Lin said in his usual fierce tone: "I got news about that person!"

Without thinking, Song Lin immediately understood who Wang De was talking about.

He sighed and persuaded Song Lin: "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Since he is no longer in this world, why bother to pursue the past? I have forgiven him, and your master has also forgiven him. You should also try to let go of your worries."

Song Lin's heart sank.

He knew that the eldest senior brother knew Nanzhi's origins.

He had managed to find out about the death of his seventh senior brother Nan Pingshan in the past few years by various means.

After he found out, he took three days off and fell seriously ill.

But after that, no one was told the news.

Including Master Wang Yongnian lying on the hospital bed.

As far as Song Lin knew, Senior Brother Seven had been hiding his real name for many years, so not many people knew that he was once the number one chef on the Nanping Mountain list, and even fewer knew of his death.

Some time ago, he went to the sanatorium to visit his master and happened to meet his senior brother Wang De.

Someone inadvertently mentioned the name Nanping Mountain. Judging from the eldest brother's reaction, it was obvious that he was unaware of the death of the seventh brother.

It has only been more than two months. Would the eldest brother get this news for no reason? Of course not. He probably investigated it.

so……

Wang De: "Song Lin? Song Lin?"

Song Lin came back to his senses and responded.

Wang De laughed: "What are you thinking? You are so loud, and you didn't respond after I called you several times. Are you still angry with your seventh senior brother? Forget it, forget it, how come you are more angry than me and your master? You are really a powder keg, and you can't change in this life!"

Indeed, because Song Lin had a bad temper, everyone only saw his side that hated Nanping Mountain so much that he didn't even want to mention its name, but few knew about the struggle and pain in his heart.

Although it was not his original intention, Song Lin's actions obviously deceived Wang De, leaving him with no doubt about Song Lin's position.

Song Lin was not stupid. He realized this and was unwilling to expose himself, so he just followed Wang De's words and echoed them vaguely.

Wang De had no doubts at all.

Instead, he asked Song Lin to remember to visit Wang Yongnian in the nursing home in the next two days because Wang Yongnian had been repeating his name recently.

Song Lin naturally agreed on the spot.
