Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Smart? Or Stupid?
“Long Xiaotian’s life. . .”
The laughter of the costu masked man was cold. It was chilling satisfaction and triumph, mixed with pleasure and pride that I couldn’t understand.
I didn’t ask anything, but the costu masked man took the initiative to tell , “Mr. Chu, I know you must have a hard ti understanding it. Long Xiaotian was already eighty years old. Why would I kill a man that was almost going to die?…”
Indeed, I really didn’t understand why he would want to do it. He didn’t seem to care that I knew about his identity. It ant he didn’t care if other people found out that it was he who killed Long Xiaotian. Since that was the case, he had so many opportunities to kill Long Xiaotian. Was there really a need for such elaborate planning? He didn’t want money. . .
“I won’t accept it!” The costu masked male said fiercely, “He wanted to die peacefully? And then leave his life’s achievents to be admired by other people, but bury his sins forever under the ground? I won’t accept it! Not only do I want to kill him with my own hands, but I also want to thoroughly expose what kind of dirty business his family has been doing in the past!”
Our conversation was not loud, so Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye couldn’t hear it, but maybe they sensed the anger of the costu masked man, so the two won hurriedly walked a few steps forward together.
Mo Fei said loudly, “Chu Nan, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” I quickly replied, and then asked the costu mask man in a low voice, “What did he do to you exactly?”
I rembered that when he hit Long Yifan, he once said that he and the Long family had a blood feud. As expected, the costu masked man laughed like a lunatic and said, “What happened? I lost everyone in my family because of him! I would never be able to forget what he had done to my family! ! Never! !”
Seeing that the costu mask man seed to be losing control of his emotion, Dong Xiaoye shouted nervously, “Don’t do anything stupid! Chu Nan, stop playing! Do you not know your situation? Stop talking to him!”
I was speechless. Sister Tiger thought I was provoking him.
“I’m sorry, I lost control of my emotion a little,” Dong Xiaoye’s reaction unexpectedly cald the costu masked man. He then said lightly, “Seven years ago, my family and I lived at the foot of Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. We were forced to relocate because the Long Group wanted to develop Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. However, the Long Group colluded with the governnt to decrease our relocation compensation as much as possible. The final compensation was not enough for us to relocate to any other places.
“My father was the representative of the people living in the area, so it was inevitable that he would be targeted. But we didn’t expect that they would hit my father and kill him with their car in the broad daylight. Everyone knew that they did it on purpose, and it was a murder, but because they had money and power, in the end, it was treated as a traffic accident.
“They wanted to compensate us with a small amount of money for the accident. But my father’s life couldn’t be bought! Long Xiaotian should go to jail! Our appeal of the decision was rejected by the court, so we went to protest in the street and sit in front of the courthouse. When Long Xiaotian saw that we didn’t take the money, he simply hired the gangsters to threaten us. Those bastards. They even. . . They even raped my little sister! Sixteen years old! My little sister was only sixteen and she was still in high school! Those animals actually did that kind of thing to a sixteen-year-old girl!”
I was stunned. Sixteen, she was as young as Chu Yuan, but such a tragedy actually happened to her. . . I also had a younger sister, so I could understand the extre anger of the costu mask man. If Chu Yuan was bullied by other people, would I remain calm? No way!
“Your younger sister. . . How is she now?. . .”
“Died. . .” The costu masked man took a deep breath two tis and tried his best to suppress the violent emotions again. “It’s a suicide. . .” He said with a trembling voice.
Even if I had guessed it already, I still felt a pain in my heart. I didn’t understand why I believed the words of the costu masked man, perhaps because we were both elder brothers, and our love for our younger sisters couldn’t be faked.
“My younger sister cut her wrist in the bathroom. The water in the bathtub was dyed red when I discovered her. I will never forget that scene. The most ridiculous thing is that the police didn’t believe what I said. They simply said it was suicide without checking anything.”
The clar the costu masked man’s tone was, the stronger the resentnt he had, “she was just sixteen, she was still young, why would she commit suicide? Obviously, Long Xiaotian had bribed the police! My mother blad herself for not taking good care of my little sister. The neighbors in the neighborhood and the folks in the village not only didn’t show any gratitude after what my father did for them, after getting money from Long Xiaoye, they even started to spread all kinds of humiliating rumors about my younger sister’s death. Hearing those rumors, plus my mother was originally blaming herself, she got sick very soon. And not long after she got sick, she passed away…
“This is the privilege of the rich! As long as they have money, they can get away with anything. They can even buy reputations and change people’s minds! This is the law of this world, but I don’t want to accept it. I believe that good people will be rewarded! So even if it ans that I need to fall, I would still want to change this unjust and unfair law!”
In fact, I understood that his insistence on the principle that good people would be rewarded was just an excuse he found for his fallen self. In this way, he could distinguish himself from Long Xiaotian. However, in front of his tragic past, I couldn’t bring myself to laugh at his naivety. . .
The place where the costu masked man picked up the car was behind the staff dormitory and was also the innermost part of the manor. A simple warehouse was built next to the garden wall. The door of the warehouse was open. There were two golf carts parked inside. A van and a small truck that were probably used exclusively by employees. In the corner of the warehouse, tools such as lawn mowers for lawn trimming were stacked.
As expected, this guy wanted to drive away in a car he was familiar with.
Next to the warehouse where the vehicles were parked was a dog cage. Probably, this was the dog cage that Butler Gao said when he was trying to scare the old woman. More than a dozen fierce hounds locked in cages scread for joy when they saw the stranger. However, after hearing the costu masked man’s voice, they closed their mouths and swayed their big tails vigorously. Dong Xiaoye was not stupid. Her face changed slightly, obviously, she realized sothing.
“Alright, Officer, please stand back, and then. . .” The costu masked man glanced at Dong Xiaoye, suddenly pointed at Mo Fei, and smiled, “Miss Mo, may I trouble you to send that box of money instead of Miss Dong?”
Not to ntion that Mo Yizhi and Long Shan were taken aback, even if I believed that he would not hurt Mo Fei, my heart also skipped a beat. A flash of surprise appeared on Dong Xiaoye’s face. She frowned and said, “Why can’t I send it over?”
“Stop!” The costu masked man stopped Dong Xiaoye when she was about to step forward. While pulling back into the warehouse, he smiled, “I am a very timid man. I am not only afraid of n, but also won. Compared to Miss Dong, Miss Mo looks weaker and less threatening to .”
How did he know that Dong Xiaoye was not weak? !
Er. . . Looking at Sister Tiger’s nimble dress and her fierce expression of wanting to punch the costu masked man in the face. . . I was speechless. . .
Mo Yizhi regarded Mo Fei as his life, how would he let her risk her life? With a harmless smile, he said, “Young man, how about letting send the money over? I am an old man, I would not be able to-”
“I’ll do it!” Mo Fei didn’t wait for Mo Yizhi to finish speaking. She pushed away Long Shan, grabbed the suitcase in Dong Xiaoye’s hand, and said firmly while staring at , “I want to get him back personally!”
Dong Xiaoye said hurriedly, “What are you doing! Stop causing more trouble!”
“You are causing trouble!” Mo Fei retorted sharply. She glanced at , then glared at Dong Xiaoye, “If sothing happens to him, how are you going to explain to Cheng Liusu? !”
After ntioning Liusu, Dong Xiaoye was lost for words, “This is not the sa thing. . .”
“To you, it is not the sa thing, but it’s the sa thing to ! You want sothing to happen to him, but I don’t want to!”
“I. . . I also don’t want to, Miss Mo, you are being unreasonable!” Dong Xiaoye was even more dissatisfied, but her tone beca less confident.
Mo Fei said coldly, “I’m just trying to et the other party’s request. I only want Chu Nan to be safe, and I don’t care about the others!”
“You. . .”
Looking at the two won arguing with each other, I was not the only one who had a headache. Unable to find an opportunity to interrupt Mo Fei, Mo Yizhi could only look at Mo Fei, having a complicated expression on his face. Frowning and sighing constantly, Long Shan’s face was also filled with helplessness.
At this mont, only a fool would not be able to tell that Mo Fei liked . However, I was a person who had no money and power, and soon, I would probably have no life too. . .
In the end, under the threat of the costu masked man and Mo Fei’s stubbornness, Dong Xiaoye compromised. Mo Fei carried the case of money and walked confidently and proudly, just as she usually did when entering and leaving the company. It gave people a sense of oppression unconsciously, and she didn’t show any fear of the gun at all.
Won were really unpredictable.
When Mo Fei got near us, we had retreated to the van. The costu masked man said, “Put down the case, Miss Mo, I will have a few more words with Mr. Chu, can I trouble you to wait outside and close the door of the warehouse for ?”
Mo Fei’s face changed suddenly, “do you want to go back on your words? !”
When Dong Xiaoye and the ard police behind heard this, they rushed forward a few steps, as if they thought that the costu masked man was going to kill .
The costu masked man imdiately pointed the gun against my head to make Dong Xiaoye and the others hurriedly stop moving forward. Then he said slowly, “As long as I am safe, I have no reason to hurt Mr. Chu. Regarding this, you can ask Mr. Chu . .”
In everyone’s dazed expression, I nodded. Then I said to Mo Fei, who looked worried, “Do as he said, he has sothing to tell , and I also have sothing to ask him.”
“Bullshit!” Dong Xiaoye couldn’t help but curse. She constantly glanced sideways as if to warn not to say sothing stupid in front of her colleagues, “what do you need to ask him? !”
“Yes, Chu Nan, don’t be stupid!”
“I want to know why he did such a thing today, don’t you want to know?” I said lightly, “He will tell .”
Not only those two won, Mo Yizhi and others, even the costu masked man was also surprised, “Mr. Chu is really a wise man.”
I snorted, not bothering to reply to this comnt.
Wise? No. I was stupid.
