Chapter 1097 Take All the Fruit Plates Away
Chen Zetao had a strange expression on his face. He pointed at Xiao Peng and asked Karl, "Don't you know him?"
Now it was Karl's turn to be bewildered. After a long while, he scratched his head and said, "Chen Zetao! Don't try to play tricks on me! Because of my aesthetic standards, I've never touched an Oriental woman in my life. This can't be my child! Don't use the same tactics I used on you against me!"
Chen Zetao and Xiao Peng both had dark lines on their faces.
"If Xiao were your child, you'd laugh in your dreams!" Chen Zetao asked, "Wait, what are you doing to me? Susanne isn't dead? Where is she?"
Karl's expression darkened as he said, "Susanne did die. It was indeed because of cancer. She did delay treatment because of giving birth... I mean, the child is not dead! Damn it! I shouldn't have told you this!"
Chen Zedao asked excitedly: "Where is the child?"
Akar said bluntly, "I won't tell you! How dare you hate me? What's your reason for hating me? For that 1.5 million marks? Would I have cared about that money in due time? Couldn't I have given it to you later? And yet, you left Susanne and walked away without even listening to my explanation. And now you have the nerve to get angry at me?"
"Crack..."
The two turned to look at Xiao Peng again with helpless expressions: "Can you please stop eating the apple for now?"
"No!" Xiao Peng said seriously, "When watching such a lively and melodramatic drama, it would be appropriate to have melon seeds, cola, and a small stool. You don't have anything here, so I can only eat an apple."
Chen Zetao suddenly brightened up. He patted Carl on the shoulder and said, "Old man, be polite to this kid! Do you know who this is? This is the famous 'salvage king' Xiao Peng!"
Carl blinked: "Who is that?"
Chen Zetao was dumbfounded: "Don't you watch the news?"
Carl pointed to the room and said, "If you can find anything related to television, radio, or the Internet in this room, you win."
Chen Zetao curled his lips after hearing this: "I've done so many bad things that I don't even dare to watch the news!"
This time Karl didn't deny it. He changed the subject: "What does this kid do?"
"Oh, nothing much." Chen Zetao said, "He's a self-made billionaire. Even at your peak wealth, you couldn't compare to him. He's not a scammer, he's in deep-sea salvage. He's brought up countless fortunes. I'm in the same business now."
"Ah?" Carl looked at Xiao Peng with disbelief in his eyes.
Chen Zetao said, "What? Just check the news! He's more famous than Charles Michel (President of the European Council) in Europe right now!"
But Karl asked again: "Who is Charles-Michel?"
Chen Zetao gave him a thumbs-up: "You win! I say, you didn't even know who he was, and you gave him the car? What were you trying to do?"
Karl pointed at his nose and asked, "What do I do?"
Chen Zetao said angrily: "Damn liar!"
Karl was not angry: “Yeah, I’m a damn liar! Do you know what the most basic principles of being a liar are?”
"What is it?" Chen Zetao asked.
Carl said, "I don't believe in anyone! I only believe in two people in this world: you and Susanne. What happened? Susanne went to heaven and you went to hell!"
At this point, Carl sighed: "I'm getting old, and I'm getting closer and closer to Susanne. Looking back on my life, I don't have anyone I can trust. I've lived a lie all my life, and I don't want to die like this. Seeing Xiao reminds me of you when you were young, and I want to try trusting someone again."
Chen Zetao said disdainfully, "Come on, you're talking so pitifully. Look at your life now, damn it. If those victims back then knew, would you still be able to live like this?"
Carl said, "Who's looking for me? I'm a liar, but I only scammed rich people. I only have a hundred machines. Even if I sold them all at zero cost, they'd only fetch 150 million. How did I manage to scam so many people? I scammed those greedy rich people! They're all so-called 'elite wealthy'. Who would dare to say they were scammed? You want my life? Take it!"
After hearing this, Chen Zetao sighed and said, "You liar, you still have the guts?"
Karl was silent: "Well, I really can't explain it. Chen Zetao, aren't you curious about how I can have such a good life?"
Chen Zetao said disdainfully, "Don't you have plenty of ways to transfer capital? A cunning rabbit has three burrows. I don't believe you don't have a backup plan. How many properties do you have now? One hundred? Eighty?"
Karl shook his head. "That's all. I did transfer the capital, but it was to Suzanne. This was compensation for the 1.5 million Reichsmarks. Back then, it was 50 million Reichsmarks. It was originally meant for you and Suzanne to live on, but you're both gone now."
"Isn't this a good place for you to enjoy your old age?" Chen Zetao said.
Carl said, "I can't help it. Suzanne has set up a trust fund here to take care of Jelena Chen's life, and I'm the sole administrator."
"Jelena? A girl? Where is she?" Chen Zetao became excited. "She's in the Netherlands?"
"Indeed, in the Netherlands," Carl said. "She fell out with me after you left, because of some guy who was blinded by anger! I can't explain anything, and a few years later, when I was arrested, she came to visit me in prison... Never mind, let's not talk about it. I'll go to her grave later. To be honest, I'm really old, and I spend all day reminiscing about the days when the three of us were together."
Chen Zetao thought for a moment and said, "Where is Jelena? Ask her to go see her mother."
"Let's go by ourselves." Carl said, "She can't go now."
"Can't go? Why?" Chen Zetao asked, "Can't even go to visit her mother's grave? What's so busy?"
Carl said shockingly: "She is in prison now."
"What?" Chen Zetao was anxious: "How did you take care of the child? Why is she in prison? You damn liar!"
Karl was also anxious: "Yes, I am a damn liar! How can I take care of your children if I can't even take care of my own children? Do you know how I feel when I have taken care of her for so many years and suddenly one day she runs to me and points her finger at my nose and calls me a liar? Has her father ever taken care of her for a day?"
The scene fell silent again.
"Crack!" Xiao Peng couldn't help himself and took another bite of the apple. Today's melon was really too big! He was watching the show with such excitement.
"Layton!" Carl suddenly called out to his butler.
Layton pushed the door open and walked in, holding a shotgun in his hand: "Master, what's the matter?"
Carl was stunned: "What are you doing with a shotgun?"
After he asked this question, he came to his senses and realized that it was used to deal with Chen Zetao and Xiao Peng. After all, Chen Zetao punched Carl in front of him.
"Fuck, put the gun aside! I want you to take away the fruit plate here! No, take away all the food in this room!"
