Chapter 718 Father and Son Enemies
Yuan Tianchu killed the nanny Xiulan, and no police officers intervened.
The neighbors were all prominent retired officials; they came over and immediately knew he had died of a heart attack.
Inform her family that she was a widow and that her child was timid; upon arriving, under Yuan Tianchu's powerful aura, the child dared not utter a sound.
He was quite happy to receive the fifty yuan from Yuan Tianshu.
They took the body home, set up a mourning tent, held a funeral, and buried it.
Yuan Tianshu felt no sense of accomplishment in killing a nanny.
Instead, I felt even more lonely.
Evenings are unbearably lonely.
I couldn't help but think of Fan Suzhen's body.
Although she was already a middle-aged woman, in Yuan Tianshu's eyes she was still a child.
Thinking about it is just thinking; I know that even if it were delivered, I might not be able to do it myself, and I would probably still have to rely on my own hands.
Early the next morning.
I went to the No. 2 grocery store and bought a piece of pig's head meat.
Today is the second day of the second lunar month, and there is a custom of eating pig's head meat.
It's just that people were poor in that era, and not many could afford to eat it. Even those who were well-off could only buy a small amount, usually just a few ounces.
Yuan Tianshu had money; he even had several dozen silver dollars under his bed, but he dared not show them off casually.
Not daring to flaunt their wealth, they bought only half a jin (250 grams).
The sales clerk recognized the old chairman and specially cut the front arch part for him.
Yuan Tianchu grabbed it and headed straight for Yuan Hai's house.
I wonder if Fan Suzhen has returned yet.
When he heard the knocking, Yuan Hai thought it was his wife returning home, so he quickly came out to open the door.
Upon seeing Yuan Tianchu, I couldn't help but shiver, wondering what he was up to.
"Dad, why are you up so early?"
"Let's have a drink."
"Oh, come in quickly."
Quickly take out my bottled Jiangzhou Daqu liquor and the peanuts I fried yesterday.
There were only two dishes, which were laid out, and the father and son sat on either side of each other and started drinking.
Yuan Tianchu remained silent, and Yuan Hai dared not speak either.
He would pour more wine whenever he saw that it was empty.
After drinking three cups of wine, Yuan Tianshu finally spoke:
"Your wife hasn't come back yet?"
"Yes. They're doing cost accounting with the surveyors over at Jiapigou."
Yuan Tianchu paused, his wine cup slamming shut. "You sent her on purpose, didn't you? Does your timber company only have one accountant?"
Yuan Hai quickly smiled apologetically:
"No, I'm at ease letting her go. Others aren't mature enough."
"Hmph, trying to avoid me, are you?"
Yuan Hai quickly shook his head:
"No, no, Dad, you're overthinking it. She was just doing it for work. Besides, Shuya and Shumei are over there, aren't they?"
Yuan Tianchu sighed and downed another cup:
"Actually, you don't need to. Your father is old and can't do anything to her. He can only look at her."
Yuan Hai's anger gradually rose.
You old bastard, Heaven has no eyes, why didn't it just let you die of a plague with a "crunch"?
Yuan Tianchu rolled his eyes, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Yuan Hai:
"You probably wish I were dead, don't you?"
"Splash!"
Yuan Hai's chopsticks fell to the ground.
She quickly bent down to pick it up: "No, Dad, why are you saying that? Even if you're not my biological father, aren't you still my second uncle? How could I hate you so much? We're family!"
Yuan Tianchu laughed heartily:
"You're quite the talker. Actually, you know you were adopted by my older brother. Your biological father was also a martyr; he charged into enemy territory with a grenade during the war against the Japanese and died alongside them. He had a fierce spirit..."
As he spoke, his expression turned cold as he looked at Yuan Hai:
"I'm afraid that one day you might suddenly develop a ruthless streak and try to take me down with you!"
Yuan Hai shook his head and waved his hand: "Dad, you've had too much to drink. Don't overthink it. I'll always be your son, and I'll take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."
Despite his intense hatred for Yuan Tianchu, he dared not show it in the slightest.
He knew that Yuan Tianchu was unpredictable and could not be seen to be happy or sad when he killed someone.
They always kill without leaving a trace.
He wanted to kill him, and there was no way to prevent it, so he could only protect himself by showing loyalty.
Yuan Tianchu softened his expression and personally poured Yuan Hai a cup of wine. Yuan Hai held the cup with both hands, very respectfully.
Yuan Tianchu spoke with a gentle smile:
"Ocean, I know you'll hate me, fear me, but you don't understand. Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. Once I get my things back, I'll find a way to take you abroad, and you'll see what true wealth and luxury are!"
Seeing that he smiled, Yuan Hai tentatively asked:
"Father, what exactly are you looking for?"
Over the years, Yuan Hai has known that Yuan Tianchu's purpose in staying in Jiangzhou was not to earn that little bit of retirement money, but to look for something.
He was very cautious. He was short of people under his command, but dared not recruit too many people to stay by his side.
He didn't even fully trust Yuan Hai and Chen Dahuzi, so only he knew what he was looking for.
I simply told them to pay attention to a famous painting, saying that my favorite painting is of a horse by Xu Beihong.
However, even though Chen Da Huzi had found some genuine works by masters for him, he still told him to keep looking.
That was clearly not what he wanted.
Yuan Tianchu reached out and patted Yuan Hai's hand:
"Ocean, when the time is right for you to know, I will naturally tell you. I can't keep it from you forever. Not telling you now is for your own good."
Yuan Hai knew he wouldn't talk about it, but not asking would make it seem like he wasn't concerned about his affairs.
Immediately, Yuan Tianchu grasped Yuan Hai's hand:
"Ocean, you must know that a wife is like clothes, and brothers are like limbs. You and I are father and son, but I treat you better than my own brother. Don't hate me for a woman; I can give you wealth that you could never earn in a lifetime."
Immediately, Yuan Tianchu grasped Yuan Hai's hand:
"Ocean, you must know that a wife is like clothes, and brothers are like limbs. You and I are father and son, but I treat you better than my own brother. Don't hate me for a woman; I can give you wealth that you could never earn in a lifetime."
Yuan Hai smiled bitterly: "Father, I've already told you, I won't hate you."
"Well, that's good. Women are just appendages of men. When I took you abroad, I had three wives and concubines at my beck and call. As long as you have enough money, you can have as many as you want, and they'll all be as obedient as dogs in front of you!"
Yuan Hai could only pretend to listen attentively.
He cursed inwardly, "You old beast, you've never heard of love. Suzhen and I are a couple who've been through thick and thin together; this kind of love can't be bought with money. What you're saying is..." It's not love!
Yuan Tianchu was also brainwashing Yuan Hai so that he would work for him.
There are simply no reliable candidates.
If he had, he probably would have killed Yuan Hai and his wife long ago.
If Sun Wenju hadn't been so incompetent, he might not have been able to get He Yongshun to kill him.
Now, although Lu Yao has been brought on the same side on the surface, we still can't completely trust him.
Yuan Tianchu felt it was about time, and squeezed Yuan Hai's hand again:
"Da Hai, I need your cooperation, and Lu Yao's cooperation, to take a risk."
"Father, just tell me what to do."
Yuan Hai had been forced to kill someone by him many years ago, and now he felt that he could only follow him forward and there was no room for retreat.
Yuan Tianchu lowered his voice:
"I suspect what I need is at Deputy Director Zhao's house in the Public Security Bureau. I need you and Lu Yao to cooperate in finding that painting."
Yuan Hai asked in confusion, "I'm not familiar with Zhao Wanli, how do I find him?"
"I'll arrange what to do. First, tell me if you'll help me or not."
"Help! If Dad needs help, I'll go through fire and water for him."
Yuan Hai showed a hint of relief.
Patting the back of his hand, he instructed:
"Zhao Wanli, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, is an old revolutionary. His sons all practice martial arts, so you have to be extra careful when entering his house."
