Zuo You felt that she might know who Wen Shouren was.
In the original novel, there is a very important background character, a gentleman with many students all over the world. The old gentleman sent off batch after batch of poor students from all over the world. Those students became elites in various industries and became wealthy, but the old gentleman lived a life of poverty and incorruptibility.
Although this gentleman has a small role, he is extremely important because Fu Shenzhi plotted to kill this old man in order to fight for power and profit.
It was the old man's death that gave Jiang Chen the bargaining chip to overthrow Fu Shenzhi in the later period, laying the groundwork for Fu Shenzhi's downfall.
When the cause of the old man's death was exposed, all sectors of society were outraged, and bigwigs from all walks of life united to attack him. Even if Fu Shenzhi could cover up everything, he was still alone and could not defeat the angry masses.
Now it seems that Wen Shouren is the respected old gentleman described in the original work.
Fu Shenzhi opposite was cutting steak. He had great knife skills and the steaks he cut were of uniform size, looking very appetizing.
He placed the cut steak in front of Zuo You and brought the steak in front of Zuo You over.
It was very quiet all around, with only the melodious singing filling the entire western restaurant.
Zuo You couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what on earth are you looking for Grandpa Wen for?"
Fu Shenzhi paused for a moment with the knife in his hand, and said calmly, "Kid, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"Okay." Zuo You said slowly, "Then Fu Shenzhi, answer me honestly. Are you going to harm Grandpa Wen?"
Zuo You was so excited that he blurted out the villain's name.
Xu Zisheng, who was behind him, was chewing meat seriously with his cheeks bulging. When he heard this, he choked and started coughing until his ears turned red and his neck became thick.
"Don't look back." Mu Chuan calmly handed him a tissue: "If you look back now, I will gouge out your eyes when I get home."
Xu Zisheng didn't dare to move his neck halfway back, and twisted it stiffly again. He didn't dare to join in the fun!
Zuo You leaned forward slightly and looked directly into Fu Shenzhi's eyes: "Answer me!"
Fu Shenzhi's black eyes were calm and composed. He stared at Zuo You silently for a while, then put down the knife in his hand. "Zuo You, I don't want to lie to you. Don't ask any more questions. Eat your food. I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."
"Fu Shenzhi, I'll help you gain Grandpa Wen's trust!"
Hearing this, Fu Shenzhi stopped standing up and his face darkened: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Perhaps because of what happened at the last banquet, Zuo You wasn't so afraid of the villain anymore. She felt that Fu Shenzhi was very special to her and didn't seem like he would hurt her.
Zuo You closed his eyes and made up his mind, and made a condition with the villain: "I will help you gain the trust of Grandpa Wen, and you must promise me that Grandpa Wen can spend his old age in peace."
The air in the western restaurant froze. Xu Zisheng was so stunned he forgot to chew the meat in his mouth. Mu Chuan calmly took a sip of the red wine beside him and kicked Xu Zisheng, who was as stunned as a clay statue, under the table.
It was dusk, and the warm light of the setting sun poured down from the windows like a waterfall, giving everyone a faint golden glow.
Fu Shenzhi's cold, ruthless black pupils unexpectedly took on an intoxicating amber hue under the setting sun. His eyelashes were long and thick, gleaming with tiny, speckled glimmers like fireflies.
The setting sun diluted the murderous aura on Fu Shenzhi, making him look like a handsome and gentle brother next door who was as clear and gentle as a piece of jade from a spring.
Zuo You was stunned for a moment.
Fu Shenzhi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Okay, I believe you."
What he said was not "I promise you", but "I believe you".
When Fu Shenzhi said this, he carefully offered his true heart and, along with his life, handed it over to Zuo You.
It's just that his little girl doesn't understand.
Wen Shouren was an important step for Fu Shenzhi to acquire the Fu family. If Mr. Wen stood on his side, then the Fu family would be a sure thing.
If Wen Shouren refused to help him, all his plans would be in vain.
So, Wen Shouren either stands on his side or dies.
Fu Shenzhi has been pestering Wen Shouren for two months, and his patience has been worn out by this stubborn old man.
He went to Wen Shouren's house today to give him a final ultimatum: help him or die, two paths, choose one.
The appearance of Zuo You disrupted all his plans. He didn't expect Zuo You to be in Wen Shouren's house, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with Wen Shouren.
If he killed Wen Shouren, his girl would hate him.
For Zuo You, Fu Shenzhi decided to take a gamble, betting his life, his sincerity, and his everything. He would always believe in his little moon unconditionally.
Because that was his moon, his only light in the darkness.
