When Pei Zhi heard the word hijacking, his expression changed immediately, and he asked in surprise, "Holding? By whom? Who forced him to return to Beijing? Could it be that Hou Hongchang..."
Hou Yu sneered: "If my uncle and aunt really find out, do you think they need to force Chu to go north? Just chop him up in Guizhou to vent his anger! Calm down and think about it. Everyone has gone crazy looking for him for two years, but the man surnamed Chu stayed in Guizhou honestly. How could he not be found for two years? Someone must be protecting him. And this person who protects him is very capable and has a high status. It is also extremely detached, at least in some respects, the power is beyond the reach of the Han family. Can you guess who this is?"
If it was someone else, you might be taken aback for a moment, but Pei Zhi thought of the answer almost immediately: "—Long Jiwei!"
"Yes, to be precise, it is the Nine Offices under the leadership of Long Jiwei." Hou Yu said: "It was the people from the Nine Offices who sent Chu Gong from Beijing to Guizhou. Although Long Jiwei didn't wake up for two years, But they have been faithfully carrying out the orders left by Long Jiwei. I guess Long Jiwei must have issued such a rigid order as "don't let Cai Chuci fall into the hands of the Han family and others", so the people from the Ninth Office put Chu Ci in the hands of others. Arranged in Guizhou, conservative treatment while being protected, but I think he has never had surgery."
Pei Zhi's heart sank for a moment, and a slight panic appeared on his face uncontrollably.
The fact that there has been no operation means that the gastric cancer has not been completely cured, and chemotherapy has not worked in the final stage, and it is definitely in the advanced stage now.
— There is no cure.
"If the Nine Departments are still under Long Jiwei's control, then with Long Jiwei's means, we would not be able to find him even after Chu Ci dies. But you should know that there was trouble in Guangxi last month, and Long Jiwei Several of the most loyal confidantes died, and the people above airborne an acting head to the Ninth Office, that person was the son of a certain leader, and he wanted to replace Long Jiwei as the real leader of the Ninth Office."
Pei Zhi blurted out: "He must really want to win over your deep-rooted big families, right?"
Hou Yu nodded and said, "Actually, the one surnamed Chu is a big gift from him to our family. But he is a timid person, and he dare not bring Chu Ci's head to Beijing directly. After all, Long Jiwei There was indeed an order back then to keep Chu's life. If he really disobeyed Long Jiwei's words so blatantly, then the people in the Ninth Office would definitely be alienated from him, and Long Jiwei would definitely not spare him after he woke up. So he So he thought of a compromise. He must have used some means to force Chu Ci out of Guizhou, so that he had to return to Beijing, and then revealed the news to my uncle and aunt, so that they could easily find him in Beijing. Chu Ci. In this way, even if our family takes Chu’s life, no one can directly place the responsibility on him.”
Pei Zhi couldn't help but gritted his teeth tightly, and asked, "How many people know about Chu Ci now?"
"Our family all know it, and Mrs. Han must know it too. The reason why they haven't done anything until now is because they have to wait for Han Yue to leave Beijing. If Han Yue finds out about this, no one knows what the consequences will be. , Maybe Mrs. Han can persuade him, but what if she can't? What if he suddenly loses his mind and insists on saving Chu Ci?"
Hou Yu took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Besides, they plan to try that Chu in secret, it would be better for him to publicly admit that he killed Hou Hongchang, Han Qiang and others for money, not for going out as rumored on the Internet. Yu Yi was indignant. After all, when Hou Hongchang bumped into someone, Internet public opinion put a lot of pressure on the Hou family, and when he was killed, there was a lot of applause, and Hou Hongchang's parents are still very angry."
"So that's the case. They not only want to kill Chu Ci, but also ruin him!" Pei Zhi sneered, and asked, "Who came up with such a sinister idea?"
Hou Yu coughed, "Of course there are many people below who have suggested ideas about this kind of thing... What's the use of pursuing this now?"
Judging from his reaction, Pei Zhi could probably guess that this was an idea thought up by their family members. Hou Yu also felt ashamed, embarrassed to admit it, and pushed it all to his subordinates.
But what he said was right, it's very boring to pursue these things now, and thanks to the Hou family who came up with this wicked idea, Chu Ci was able to save a few more days of life. Otherwise, he might have been killed by the Hou family on the first day he returned to Beijing.
Pei Zhi took a few puffs of cigarettes in silence, then suddenly raised his head to stare at Hou Yu, and asked, "Your surname is also Hou, and Hou Hongchang is your cousin, I don't believe you don't want to avenge him—then tell me now What do you mean again?"
Hou Yu looked directly at Pei Zhi without hesitation, smiled strangely for a while, and asked back: "Boss Pei, suppose you are an ordinary citizen and don't know anything about the inside story of this matter. Come out and tell you that their son is innocent. The migrant worker child who was hit back then violated the traffic rules. The person who killed Hou Hongchang was just robbing for money. Now that the murderer has finally been arrested, Hou Hongchang can finally get justice—you Do you believe it? Do you think ordinary people will believe it?"
Pei Zhi patted the table: "You treat me as a three-year-old child?!"
"That's right. If you don't believe it, I don't believe it. I don't think many people will believe the news after it comes out." Hou Yu laughed ironically: "But, Hou Hongchang's parents think everyone should believe it. Public opinion will definitely believe it. I really don’t know how people can be so stupid that they are not even as good as a three-year-old child. It seems that what my mother said in the early years was right. Once a person stays in the privileged class for a long time, It will unconsciously produce a kind of inflated mentality, feeling that one's hands and eyes are omnipotent, and all the laws and restrictions in this world are just child's play. The saddest thing about people is that they overestimate their own IQ, and then make others Be a fool who can let himself be played with."
"...Old Army Commander Hou is still tossing about this matter with your uncle, your aunt, and the others." Pei Zhi took a breath and said, "I met Han Yue in the cemetery, and it is said that Old Army Commander Hou planned to introduce him to him." object."
"The old man has already been led by them to do a lot of stupid things." Hou Yu paused, and his voice became even lower, "People say that a gentleman will be killed in the fifth generation, because the family like us has been reproduced for generations. There are bound to be a lot of vassals who act recklessly. Just like a big tree is full of vines that compete with it for water and nutrients. perish."
Pei Zhi was silent for a while, as if meditating on something, and asked after a while, "Do you want to use my hand to deal with Hou Hongchang's family?"
"If possible, I really want to do it myself, but our family has too many relatives, and I don't want to be drowned by saliva. Even if my father is still alive, he will leave one day. If all the relatives surnamed Hou If you feel cold towards me, how can I go down in the future?"
Hou Yu glanced at Pei Zhi, and said with a leisurely smile: "Yes, I'm quite selfish, but I didn't force you to turn against Hou Hongchang and his family. You can also choose to do nothing and just pretend that nothing happened today. I’ve seen me before, and I watched the man surnamed Chu being taken to the execution ground as a robbery murderer—to tell you the truth, the man surnamed Chu has only a few days left to live, and as soon as Han Yue leaves Beijing, they will attack immediately.”
Pei Zhi frowned, his expression becoming more and more anxious. After a while, he slammed the cigarette butt on the table and asked, "Why did you choose to tell me instead of Han Yue?"
Hou Yu leaned back into the back of the high-backed chair, and said slowly: "Because Mrs. Han has a lot to do with this matter, and Han Qiang is Han Yue's brother... I have told this matter already, I took a huge risk, if Han Yue turns around and sells me, will I still be a man in the family?"
Hou Yu is also a ruthless character. When Han Yue chose not to avenge Han Qiang, he still struggled psychologically and suffered a lot. When he came to Hou Yu, there was no psychological struggle at all. My aunt's family sold it, and it went smoothly.
Pei Zhi knew that the situation of the Hou family was quite special, and the family relationship was very complicated. Since he could produce a second-generation ancestor like Hou Hongchang who was completely brainless, it would not be surprising to cultivate a master like Hou Yu who was ruthless and daring.
"I promise you." Pei Zhi gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and then stretched out his hand to Hou Yu: "But you have to write me Chu Ci's address first, and I must at least make sure that he is still alive. "
Hou Yu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately took out a notebook and wrote down the address of the hospital, and wrote down a name and phone number, saying that this was the contact information of a person in charge of the hospital. The tone is very tight, if there is anything, you can go to him, so that you can bypass the eyeliner of Hou Hongchang and his family.
Pei Zhi took the note and shook it firmly in his palm.
Hou Yu slowly put away the gold pen and said, "I advise you to act quickly. It's not just Hou Hongchang and his family who want his life. He probably won't last long. I heard from my buddy in the hospital that, He has been issued a critical illness notice, and he can live for two weeks with conservative treatment, and it will be a miracle if he survives for more than a month."
Pei Zhi took a deep breath, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Thank you—I'll take a step first."
Hou Yu nodded and smiled.
Pei Zhi opened the door of the box, stepped out with one step, and then closed the door tightly with his backhand.
The box was facing a corridor, with the outer windows opening to the street on one side and the walls with murals on the other. Leaning against the wall next to the door, Han Yue lowered his head to light a cigarette, but his hands trembled a little, and the lighter clicked and he failed to light it.
Pei Zhi threw the note to him, and strode past him without turning his head.
Han Yue didn't even light a cigarette, and immediately leaned over to pick up the note: "—Did you really give it to me?"
Pei Zhi strode forward sullenly, and when he reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped. He turned back and stared at Han Yue with a sneer expression on his face, but his voice was very hoarse and deep: "You know what Han Er, if I knew I shouldn't have gone abroad to study back then, I should have joined the army with you guys of!"
He gritted his teeth for the last few words, as if they were forced out of his jaw.
Immediately after he turned his head, he strode down the stairs and quickly disappeared outside the downstairs gate of the tea house.
