After listening to Lao Bian telling the story of the two brothers in this bar for a long time, Cheng Yu certainly would not accompany him to finish the bottle of wine, but chose a suitable time to say goodbye and leave.
Returning to Wudong Courtyard first, Du Xiaoyu was already lying on bed, but not yet asleep.
Cheng Yu chatted with her for a few words and originally wanted to visit Lao Dapeng's house, but finally chose to give up.
He will definitely go to the Northeast. If he can control Lao Dapeng now - of course there are many ways - but in the days when he goes to the Northeast, who will watch over Lao Dapeng? Who will be responsible for him?
Eating, drinking and having diarrhea?
Anyway, Lao Bian will send someone to keep an eye on Lao Dapeng tomorrow. This guy can't escape.
Cheng Yu took a shower and then went to sleep. He woke up very early the next day, went out and bought breakfast, and brought one for Du Xiaoyu. Cheng Yu went to the hospital.
He still brought breakfast to the nurse and asked her to go out. Cheng Yu locked the door and sat in front of Cheng Guangnian's hospital bed.
"Old Cheng, you still have something to hide from me."
Cheng Yu sighed slightly, and while eating breakfast, he said to Cheng Guangnian, who was motionless on the hospital bed.
Of course Cheng Guangnian heard it, but because he couldn't speak, he could only wait for Cheng Yu to continue.
Otherwise, he will definitely ask, what am I hiding from you?
After taking a sip of soy milk, Cheng Yu said again: "Lao Dapeng, do you know?"
Cheng Guangnian trembled in his heart, thinking how could Cheng Yu know the name Lao Dapeng?
"You said it was a coincidence, but I accidentally discovered that Cheng Fu had an appointment with someone, and then I checked with a friend yesterday, and found out that the person's name was Lao Dapeng.
Although there is no confirmation, I can basically confirm from his information that Lao Dapeng is the son of my aunt.
You arranged for him to study in college in Wudong and gave him a house. You didn't tell me about this before.
What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will be harmful to him?
You really think highly of me!"
Cheng Guangnian suffered from being unable to speak, otherwise he would have jumped up and told Cheng Yu.
I'm not afraid that you will be disadvantageous to him, I just think that since their family is doing well, this matter should not involve the next generation of you anymore.
However, Lao Dapeng and Cheng Fu met?
What's going on?
"If you can really hear what I said, then you must be wondering now, how could Lao Dapeng get together with Cheng Fu?
To be honest, I'm also very strange.
After all, our bad old man didn't tell us about this, and you didn't tell us the truth eight years ago, yet their family is still able to get in touch with our family.
Come to think of it, you should have thought that Cheng Fu and Lao Dapeng were the murderers behind your car accident.
It was definitely not the direct action of Master Cheng, but I am basically convinced that Master Cheng must have known about it.
On that day, it was Master Cheng who arranged and controlled everything to send you to the place where the incident occurred.
And Lao Dapeng, I'm afraid he is the one who tampered with your car.
However, you probably never imagined that your efforts to pay off the debt of our bad old man would eventually become the trigger for your current situation.
It’s a bit harsh to repay this debt.”
Cheng Guangnian: "..."
"I plan to go to Northeast China and meet my aunt's family.
Of course, Lao Dapeng cannot be seen. He is now in Wudong and will live in the house you gave him if nothing else happens.
How much money did you invest in their farmhouse investment?
This suite alone costs more than 10 million, right?
Of course, the cost is not that high.
However, tens of millions were given away, hoping to give them a future, but what they got in exchange was a lack of support.
I'm not sure whether my aunt's family was involved in this matter. Judging from your description of their family, the possibility is slim.
I didn't go to the Northeast with the intention of launching an army to prosecute, I just wanted to confirm it.
It would be easier to handle if my aunt and her whole family knew about this matter.
The police will intervene in the investigation and then send the family to prison to make them pay the price they deserve.
But if that family is completely unaware that all this was done by Lao Dapeng and Cheng Fu, what do you want me to do?
Just destroy your relatives and send these two in?
Or let them go?
Attempted murder, especially if the outside world cannot know the real reason for your coma, this crime will not be punishable by death, even if it is indefinite.
Of course, there is also a principal criminal and an accomplice here, and the worst case scenario for the accomplice is that he may not be able to get out in less than ten years.
What do you want me to do?
Haha, of course, if it really develops to that point, I'm afraid this matter will be out of my control.
After all, murder is a criminal case, and I can't just let them go.
I am telling you this just to express my feelings about people's hearts.
Let’s talk about everything after I come back from the Northeast.”
Although Cheng Guangnian could not speak out, he was also deep in thought at the moment.
Yes, if this matter is really a conspiracy between Lao Dapeng and Cheng Fu, how should we deal with it?
But how did Cheng Fu know about Lao Dapeng's existence?
In other words, after I learned about this matter, the second child and the third child actually knew it a long time ago.
However, once they revealed this matter, it was equivalent to completely admitting that the Cheng Group had nothing to do with them. All the old man's property back then was given to his daughter. So, they kept it secret?
So, what role did the second child and the third child play in my incident this time?
Is this really just the fault of Cheng Fu and Lao Dapeng, or is it related to both of their families?
Cheng Guangnian suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He felt that the fifty years of being brothers seemed to have been in vain.
For the sake of huge wealth, even a biological brother seems to have enough reasons to want to kill him.
"How much does Xu Dong know about our family? Why do I feel that we are surrounded on all sides and everyone is so hateful and worthy of suspicion?"
Cheng Yu said slowly again.
"Although you said you trust Xu Dong 100%, even if he knew this, he would not betray you.
But how did Cheng Fu know about the existence of his aunt's family?
Grandpa can't tell, and it's impossible to tell him about his situation.
Of course you wouldn't say it either. And after I learned about it, I didn't even mention it to anyone.
I don't think the second uncle and third uncle's family have enough reasons to investigate the events of my grandfather's previous trip to the Northeast.
In other words, someone must have revealed something here.
Whether it's intentional or unintentional.
In short, someone revealed something, which made Cheng Fu, and even the second uncle's family become interested in grandpa's affairs, and thus came into contact with Lao Dapeng's existence.
Which ultimately led to you lying here.
Of course, it cannot be said that you are in this predicament entirely because of Cheng Fu and Lao Dapeng, but if they had not planned this car accident that intended to kill you, my father-in-law would not have stopped signing those documents, nor would he have
As a result, your task will not be completed, and you will not be lying here.
Although the current results have very little to do with the person who revealed the scandal about our family, I feel that it is still necessary to find out whether that person is Xu Dong.
What do you think?"
If Cheng Guangnian could still move, he would definitely shake his head vigorously now.
Indeed, judging from the current clues, this matter may very well have something to do with Xu Dong.
Whether Xu Dong did it intentionally or unintentionally is actually crucial.
Even if Cheng Guangnian still doesn't know what Xu Dong did - assuming he did it intentionally, what kind of benefits can he get from this matter.
This benefit must be big enough to make Xu Dong betray Cheng Guangnian.
"Okay, let me tell you, I think I have to find someone to talk to about this matter. After all, apart from you, I can't even find anyone else who can talk about my aunt's family.
Anyway, you can't give me any advice now, so I'll just do what I think.
I plan to visit Xu Dong and mention to him that I am going to the Northeast, what do you think?"
Cheng Guangnian wanted to object, but he couldn't.
He felt that if Xu Dong was really involved in this matter, then Cheng Yu's visit to him now would just be a warning.
Cheng Yu has already made up his mind.
"Let's do this for now. I'll contact Xu Dong soon, and then I'll fly to Northeast China today.
You told me that my aunt's family should have assets of over 100 million, and in the small city where they live, they should be among the richest people in the area, right?
I should be able to find out a lot of things without meeting him.
I don't even need to meet my aunt's family to judge whether this matter has anything to do with them.
Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter.
At the provincial department, there should be a leader who has arranged for people to conduct an unregistered investigation into your car accident.
Therefore, I have to be a little faster than them, otherwise, when they completely intervene, there will really be no room for change."
Cheng Yu stood up and looked down at Cheng Guangnian's expressionless face. He sighed again and said, "Oh, I haven't thought about it yet. If it was really that family who did it, how should I treat them?"
.
Of course, the greater possibility is that no matter what I think, it will be useless, after all, the public security system is not run by our family."
After opening the door to the ward, Cheng Yu called the nurse back and went downstairs.
After getting in the car, Cheng Yu called Xu Dong's mobile phone.
"Master Cheng."
Xu Dong's speed in answering the phone has not slowed down because he became Qianjin's CEO. It is still as fast as before.
"Brother Xu, you get up so early on Sundays."
"On the way to the company."
"You don't even have a day off on this Sunday, and you go to the company to work overtime?"
"I'm going on a business trip to attend a meeting. I left some documents at the company, so I'll go pick them up first."
"I have to go on a business trip, and I also wanted to meet with Brother Xu."
Xu Dong paused slightly and said, "Mr. Cheng, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Forget it, since you have to go on a business trip for a meeting, let's wait until you get back."
"It's not an important meeting, but there happened to be a classmate who was in charge of the meeting when I was a graduate student. He called me and asked me who the company would send this time.
I just thought about going there myself and contacting my old classmates.
The meeting is actually tomorrow, and I went early today just to get together with my old classmates.
If something happens to you, I will change the ticket and it will be no problem to go there later."
Cheng Yu immediately said: "Why don't you delay things?"
"No delay, no delay. Speaking of something happening to Director Cheng, I don't dare to disturb you and your wife. In fact, I also want to talk to you."
"Okay, there's no one in the company today anyway, so let's meet at the company."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu went straight to Qianjin.
After Xu Dong hung up the phone, he lowered his head and pondered.
What does Cheng Yu want from me? Hasn't Ning Kezhu already taken control of the Cheng family?
Arriving at the company soon, Xu Dong asked the driver to refund the high-speed rail ticket for him and entered the company alone.
When he arrived at the office, Xu Dong first made himself a cup of coffee, and then sent a WeChat message to Cheng Yu, asking him if he wanted to drink tea or coffee so that he could prepare in advance.
Cheng Yu didn't reply, so Xu Dong simply made a cup of tea and waited for Cheng Yu.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yu arrived and went straight to Xu Dong's office.
"It's the weekend today. I didn't let the driver drive. I only saw your WeChat message after I parked the car. Brother Xu, you're welcome. You can have tea or coffee."
As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Yu greeted Xu Dong with a smile.
Xu Dong took advantage of the situation and handed over the cup of brewed tea: "I guess you didn't have time to look at your phone while driving, so I made a cup of tea."
Cheng Yu took it, nodded, and sat down on the sofa.
"Mr. Cheng, what do you have to do with me? Is it related to Director Cheng or the company?"
After sitting down, Xu Dong asked directly.
Cheng Yu smiled and took a sip of tea. The water temperature was just right: "I always don't care about the company's affairs. You and Xiaoyu cooperate well. I don't have anything to ask."
"That's Director Cheng's business."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "On the phone just now, you said that you also wanted to talk to me. How about you talk first."
Xu Dong adjusted his glasses and said: "Actually, I just want to chat casually. After all, Director Cheng has been hospitalized for so many days, and we don't even know the specific situation. We only know that after the car accident, Director Cheng was in a coma and has not yet woken up.
.”
"It's not that we deliberately concealed this. Brother Xu, you should have heard something about it. After all, my mother made such a big fuss in the Cheng family and explained my father's situation at the time.
Even though he was unconscious, the specific cause cannot be found so far. Experts are not sure whether it is related to the car accident.
So our family really doesn’t know where to start.”
While saying this, Cheng Yu kept his head lowered, but he was observing Xu Dong's reaction from the corner of his eye.
Xu Dong's reaction was normal and comfortable, and it didn't make Cheng Yu feel anything was wrong.
"Alas... about Director Cheng... alas..."
He looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you have been following my dad since you graduated. Moreover, our two families have other connections..."
Xu Dong was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Do you know?"
"My dad mentioned it." Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "So, between you and me, there is no need to hesitate. If you have any questions, just ask."
Xu Dong nodded, seemed to think about it again, and then said: "Actually, there is no doubt about it. It's just that there is a rumor in the company that Director Cheng's car accident is related to Master Cheng.
I guess these people should not dare to mention this to you and your wife, but I thought about it for a long time and felt that although it is a bit vague, maybe you should know about this matter.
At least, these are the multiple directions to consider.”
Cheng Yu nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "I have actually heard about this, but after all, there is no evidence. Just because Mr. Cheng told my dad that there was a traffic jam on the Outer Ring Expressway, I can't suggest him to take the provincial route."
Tao, I felt that this matter had something to do with him.
The police also said that the parts of the car were aging, and it was caused by the people at the 4S shop tampering with the car and replacing the parts on the car with an old part.
The police are still investigating this matter, and it is said that they have discovered an entire sales and reselling gang of used luxury car spare parts.
The police have basically determined it, and we basically want to believe it was an accident."
Xu Dong's eyes flickered slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say more.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Brother Xu, just say what you have to say. You have already said it. The person my dad trusts most in the company is you. There is no need to hide it."
Xu Dong thought about it again and said: "The main reason is that this matter is suspected of inflaming the relationship between your family members, so I...
But Cheng Fu's performance always makes me feel a little abnormal.
Even though I have officially left the group, I still know many things about the group.
That day, my wife held an impromptu all-shareholders meeting at the group, and it was actually me who arranged Lawyer Lin’s meeting.
There were only a few insiders about Director Cheng’s original arrangement, and I happened to be one of them.
This can be regarded as a back-up left behind by Director Cheng.
Moreover, many personnel situations within the group, including some relationships, are different from what they appear on the surface.
I'm afraid even Mr. Cheng doesn't know what happened that day. Even without the document that Lawyer Lin brought to Director Cheng, the position of acting chairman would not have been lost.
There are so many things going on here, I don’t know what to tell you.
Moreover, the internal situation of the group is relatively complicated, and I am afraid that telling all the arrangements made by Director Cheng will intensify the conflicts within the group..."
Cheng Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "You don't need to tell me this.
I have always believed that if Lawyer Lin mentioned my father’s think tank at the meeting that day, then you and Lawyer Lin should be one of them.
I even suspected that Zhao Zepeng didn't really want to seize power, but had another strategy.
What I can tell you is that I don't care about the group's affairs. When everything was going well for Lao Cheng, I never thought that I would have to inherit this industry. It's the same now.
My mother said she was going to take over the group for Lao Cheng. That was her decision. I just felt that it would be better for her to have something to rely on than to stay with my father all day long.
What I care about only has to do with our family."
Hearing this, Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, this is hundreds of billions of wealth. You can be so open-minded that you don't care, but there will inevitably be too many people coveting it."
"What I hope most right now is that Old Cheng can wake up. I won't hesitate to let the Cheng Group change owners for this. So, regarding the group, Brother Xu, we won't say more. What do you want to say?
If you are worried about the situation within the group, let my mother handle it on her own and let her face it on her own. Of course, I will not interfere with what you, the think tank, should do."
Xu Dong sighed again and said: "Okay, then let's continue according to Director Cheng's original idea. Mr. Cheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"What you want to talk to me about is about the group?"
Xu Dong nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. I also asked Lawyer Lin to remind Madam to be careful about Master Cheng. However, Madam doesn't seem to believe it. She even seems to trust Master Cheng now."
Cheng Yu frowned slightly.
Ning Kezhu doesn't want to doubt his own family too much, which he can understand.
But Ning Kezhu also said that she would pay attention to Cheng Fu's behavior.
But to say that Ning Kezhu trusts Cheng Fu now is beyond comprehension for Cheng Yu.
Could it be that Ning Kezhu discovered something about Cheng Fu, so he deliberately tested him in this way?
However, when Cheng Yu talked to Ning Kezhu on the phone on Friday night, Ning Kezhu clearly did not mention any of this.
Is it possible that Ning Kezhu's plan to test Cheng Fu must be hidden even from Cheng Yu, his own son?
This seems unreasonable.
However, these thoughts were fleeting and Cheng Yu did not think deeply about them. He felt that he could just wait until he came back from the Northeast to communicate with Ning Kezhu.
"Let's forget about this for now. I'm looking for you to ask, how much do you know about our family?"
