Chapter 268 Cruel
With the downfall of Mrs. Zhou, Xie Zhaode's business was affected and he was included in the assassination list by the Zhou family.
Finally, on that rainy night, he died in a car accident.
That night, Xie Zhaode had found a way to return home, and traveling with him was the real Xie Tingke.
The boy, who had just turned ten, was supposed to return to his country with his father to join his biological mother and sister.
But in the end, their journey ended the night before they returned home.
There is serious internal strife in the Zhou family. In order to bring down the powerful Madam Zhou, the first thing to do is to eliminate her minions.
Xie Zhaode is one of her minions.
Therefore, Xie Zhaode was doomed to die.
There was a strong wind blowing between the cliffs.
Xie Shiyuan stood on the edge of the cliff, holding the yellowed document in his hand.
This is what Zhou Zongzhen passed on to Old Lady Xie.
I sent her a copy by the way.
Those secrets about Xie Zhaode, about the Zhou family, and about the secrets about "Xie Tingke".
"My brother is fake..." I had already guessed the established fact, but the moment the truth was revealed, it still felt absurd.
Just the right amount of shock flashed across Xie Shiyuan's face.
The cold wind blew, and the man's evil face was covered with a layer of frost.
Zhou Zongzheng stood opposite her, playing with a gun.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Xie Shiyuan's forehead, but he did not pull the trigger.
Don't be surprised, Xie Shiyuan was kidnapped.
In order to push the truth forward, she had to cooperate with him, so even though she could have escaped, she chose to become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Zhou Zongzheng told her the truth, which was simply the end.
He had gotten what he wanted.
"The current Xie Tingke's real name is Zhou Zongren, he is your younger brother..." Xie Shiyuan stared at the yellowed paper, seeming even more unbelievable.
"The real Xie Tingke is dead. He is my biological brother. My biological mother and Xie Zhaode were lovers. Because Xie Zhaode refused to marry, the two were forced to separate. Later, my mother's family business encountered a crisis. Old Mrs. Xie took advantage of the situation and forced my mother to marry Xie Wude..."
"Mrs. Xie did this to punish Xie Zhaode for refusing the marriage proposal and to teach him a lesson. She married her son's favorite woman to his brother..."
Since ancient times, wealthy families have been full of grudges.
Most of the grudges are man-made.
A son who disobeys his mother's orders, a mother who is overly controlling, and a family system that puts profit above all else.
"My mother and Xie Zhaode are lovers." This was not unexpected to Xie Shiyuan. She had actually guessed it a long time ago. Maybe something had happened between that woman and Xie Zhaode, otherwise Mrs. Xie's attitude would not be so strange.
But some things are still unexpected.
"After Xie Zhaode went abroad, he started his own business. The first money he earned came from your Zhou family. Mr. Zhou, your mother is Xie Zhaode's benefactor. I can understand that Xie Zhaode is your mother's confidant who helps her deal with some shady businesses."
Xie Shiyuan murmured, "The Zhou family couldn't stand your mother's style of having her say, so in order to undermine your mother's power, they killed Xie Zhaode. Xie Zhaode had already discovered the crisis and was ready to return home with his son, but he was still a step too late. He died."
"That's right." Zhou Zongzheng was calm and composed.
He stared coldly at Xie Shiyuan's face. A cold wind blew past, as if he wanted to penetrate her whole body through that invisible layer.
"I think you've already discovered that whenever Xie Tingke faces me, he becomes a different person without control. He seems to never be able to refute me or disobey me. He has an innate fear of me."
"Because I am his...older brother, from the same father and mother."
"My mother named us three brothers Zong Zheng, Zong Ren and Zong Yi. She hoped that we would not forget our ancestors and remember their teachings. The word Zheng means justice, nobility and stability, so I am called Zhou Zong Zheng."
"The second and third brothers are about the same age. Mother named them Ren and Yi, respectively, hoping that they would be kind and righteous. Even if they did the dirtiest things in the future, they should abide by the highest moral principles, standards and realms. Brothers should not fall out with each other and should be united against the outside world."
"No matter what situation the three of us are in, we must respect our relatives, help each other, and protect our only sister."
"My mother had good intentions, but unfortunately things didn't turn out the way she imagined."
"She hoped that the three of us brothers would be respectful and friendly, but she ended up betraying the third brother. When the Zhou family started to take action against her, she realized something was wrong."
"I often think that, with her intelligence, she could have taken us far away and none of us would have died, but she just refused to leave this place of trouble. She always wanted to prove that she had not lost."
"Even if she was attacked by a pack of wolves, she could still turn defeat into victory with her intelligence and wisdom."
"She knew Xie Zhaode would die. The Zhou family opposed her and would first target her confidants. Mother calculated the location of Xie Zhaode's accident. When the car accident happened, mother brought us to the scene."
"Xie Zhaode was shot several times and his car crashed into a tree. He died of excessive blood loss, but at that moment, the child next to him was still alive."
"That child is the real Xie Tingke, your biological brother."
silence.
The whole audience was silent.
There is only one word that can describe the atmosphere at this moment.
The situation is very tense.
The breeze brought with it a chilling and solemn air.
Zhou Zongzheng admitted such an explosive secret!
This shocking secret shocked everyone.
The subordinates stood with their heads bowed, not daring to act rashly. They just looked up at Zhou Zongzheng with a look of deep astonishment in their eyes, and then at Xie Shiyuan.
An Chao's expression was the most shocked. It was a shock that could not be concealed, and he seemed a little panicked.
What!
Xie Tingke is fake! The real Xie Tingke is dead! ?
What is this move called!
A cat replacing a prince! ?
At that time, Mrs. Zhou had already anticipated that something might happen to her own son, so she made arrangements in advance and plotted against her confidants.
Just to make Xie Zhaode's son die in an accident, she wanted her son to enter the Xie family and take his place.
What a terrible woman...
She used someone else's son to kill someone else, and was also cruel enough to abandon her own son.
even--
"The person who originally replaced Xie Tingke's identity was not Zhou Zongren, but my third brother Zhou Zongyi." Zhou Zongzheng's eyes flashed with an obscure light, and he said indifferently: "Mother thought he was too emotional and not cold enough. When the fire broke out, she pushed my second brother out."
