Mrs. Yu, who was cleaning the house, heard someone ringing the doorbell and wanted to open the door, but the old man's newly hired servant ran to open the door first.
"Excuse me, are you..."
Jiang Xinyan thought it was Mrs. Yu who opened the door, but it turned out to be someone she didn't know.
"I'm looking for my aunt, my aunt is Zhu Huiyu."
"Oh, she's not at home." said the servant.
"So... where did she go?"
"On business trip."
"Where are you going on business? When did you leave? When will you be back?"
"How should I know? How dare I, a servant, meddle in my master's affairs?" said the servant.
Jiang Xinyan: Uh…
"Excuse me, is Mrs. Yu here?"
"Mrs. Yu..." the servant turned around and called out.
Mrs. Yu put down the rag in her hand, glanced at the old man sitting in the restaurant reading a newspaper, and walked quickly to the door.
"Mrs. Yu."
"Ms. Jiang, your wife is not at home. Please come another day! Otherwise, wait for her to come back and I will ask her to call you." Mrs. Yu winked at Jiang Xinyan.
Jiang Xinyan understood and said, "Then I'll leave first and come back another day."
Jiang Xinyan walked out with a suspicious look in her heart. Mrs. Yu seemed to be unable to speak, but she wanted to convey something to her.
Jiang Xinyan was sure that something had happened to her aunt, otherwise Sister Yu would not be like this. Sister Yu was the person her aunt trusted the most. But... she really couldn't figure out what could have happened to her aunt.
"Xinyan..."
Jiang Xinyan heard someone calling her and looked up. It turned out to be her second uncle.
"Second uncle."
"Xinyan, you came to see your aunt? Did you see her?"
"My aunt isn't home."
"So where did she go?"
Jiang Xinyan looked back at Gu's house and said, "Second uncle, let's find a place to talk."
Half an hour later, the two sat in a coffee shop.
"Uncle, I think something happened to my aunt. I can't get through to her on the phone. She's not at home. Mrs. Yu looks weird, and the Gu family has hired a new servant."
"Something happened?" Zhu Chunlai wondered. Wasn't Zhu Huiyu deliberately avoiding him
"Well, the old man was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday. I wanted to send him home, but he wouldn't let me. This is very strange. When I went to Gu's house before, the old man was very nice to me."
Zhu Chunlai pondered and said, "I can't find her either. We had agreed today to let Siqiao go find her. There is a real estate project for Siqiao to handle, which is also the condition for me to withdraw from Wanli. Siqiao went there today, but didn't find her, and Jiaheng Real Estate has also changed people."
"Uncle, there's something I don't know if I should tell you. A few years ago, I heard my aunt and Yu's wife talking about something that happened 26 years ago. They mentioned a person named Su Yicen, and asked whether Su Yicen really had a child back then, and whether the child was still alive..."
Zhu Chunlai's face changed slightly. He had never heard of Su Yicen, but this time point 26 years ago was too sensitive.
Jiang Xinyan saw that her second uncle looked unhappy: "Second uncle, do you know about this?"
"I don't know." Zhu Chunlai denied it flatly.
Jiang Xinyan was deeply skeptical. What happened 26 years ago? Was Su Ran the child that her aunt and Mrs. Yu were talking about
"Okay, don't worry about this matter. I will find your aunt." Zhu Chunlai said. If it involves 26 years ago, then he has to be careful.
Jiang Xinyan was worried.
"It's okay. I think your aunt is going back on her word and is avoiding me on purpose! How could she, a grown-up woman and the young lady of the Gu family, just disappear like that?" Zhu Chunlai comforted her. He had to find out whether this matter was related to the car accident first, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
After sending Jiang Xinyan away, Zhu Chunlai called his brother-in-law Gu Chengping.
"Chengping, where is Huiyu? Why is her phone turned off when I call her?"
"Brother, Huiyu is on a business trip."
"You can't always turn off your phone when you're on a business trip!"
"How would I know, with her temper?" Gu Chengping said perfunctorily.
"Did you have a quarrel?"
"How can that be possible? Arguing is one-sided. I won't argue with her."
"That's right. As a man, you have to give in to women. So, when she comes back, let her call me. I have something to talk to her about."
"good."
Zhu Chunlai hung up the phone, stroked his chin and thought, something really went wrong.
Gu Chengping also called Kong Chaoshan immediately.
"Now that the Zhu family is looking for Huiyu, they can't just keep using the excuse of being away on business, right?"
Kong Chaoshan said: "Just hold off for a few days, it will soon be out of use."
"What do you mean by no need?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
Beep, beep, beep... the phone was hung up.
Gu Chengping was annoyed. What were the old man and Kong Chaoshan up to
After the old man talked to Su Ran that day, he called him and his eldest brother over and scolded him.
Zhu Huiyu was also very tolerant. She knew that he had a woman outside, but she kept it secret for so many years. He even thought she didn't know.
None of this is important. What is important is that the old man put so many assets under Kong Chaoshan's name without giving any explanation. What kind of thing is this? People who don't know would think Kong Chaoshan is the old man's illegitimate son!
It was obvious that there was a secret between the old man and Kong Chaoshan, a secret that neither he nor his eldest brother knew.
When Zhu Chunlai returned, he checked the assets under Huiyu's name and discovered that the legal representatives of more than 30 companies under Huiyu's name had all become Kong Chaoshan.
Zhu Chunlai was shocked, Huiyu was left with nothing.
Although there was heating in the office, Zhu Chunlai was sweating profusely. Kong Chaoshan was the most capable person under the old man. The old man took back all the assets that Huiyu had given to him to manage, and gave them to Kong Chaoshan instead of Gu Chengping. What did this mean? It meant that Huiyu had completely lost the old man's trust, and the old man didn't even trust Gu Chengping anymore.
Could it be that the car accident 26 years ago had really fermented? It shouldn't be possible. The old man had doubts back then, and he investigated for a long time but couldn't find anything. He did a very clean job, so it doesn't make sense that he couldn't find out at the time, but now it's exposed. Unless Huiyu confesses herself.
That's impossible. Huiyu is not that stupid. This is a fatal matter.
Also, whose child is that child that Huiyu mentioned to Mrs. Yu
Zhu Chunlai forced himself to calm down, not to panic or lose his composure. It seemed he had to ask Mrs. Yu.
There was a phone call, it was from Mrs. Yu.
"Mrs. Yu, I was just looking for you."
"Mr. Zhu, I don't know where my wife has been taken."
Zhu Chunlai's heart, which had just calmed down, began to rise again: "Speak slowly and clearly."
"The day before yesterday, the old man was discharged from the hospital and went home. Gu Chengdong, Gu Chengping, Su Ran and Han Dong all came. I felt that the atmosphere was not right, but the old man ordered me to buy vegetables. I went out and wanted to go back to see him, but was stopped by Kong Chaoshan's men. Fortunately, I made an excuse that I forgot to bring money. Kong Chaoshan's men did not suspect anything, but accompanied me to the vegetable market. When I got home, the lady was gone. The young master seemed to be in a low mood. He locked himself in the room all day and did not come down to eat lunch or dinner..."
