Early the next morning, Zhou Datong checked out of the room, the two of them had some millet porridge in the restaurant, and then drove on.
This time, of course, Cheng Yu was no longer driving, but after setting the navigation to the booked hotel, Zhou Datong drove directly towards Harbin.
On the way, Zhou Datong suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Cheng, when you arrived in Harbin, why did you use my ID to help you open a room?"
Cheng Yu had long known that Zhou Datong would ask this question eventually, so he said: "I don't want to leave too obvious traces of my many stays in Harbin."
"Why?"
Cheng Yu turned his head and looked out the car window at the indescribable scenery without saying a word.
Zhou Datong shut his mouth sensibly and concentrated on driving.
After a long time, Cheng Yu suddenly said: "That Cheng Cuihua is actually my aunt."
"oh."
Zhou Datong agreed casually, but soon realized something was wrong: "Ah? Auntie? My dear? Is she Director Cheng's elder sister or younger sister?"
"She is my father's half-sibling."
Zhou Datong was actually full of questions, but after all, this was a private matter of Cheng Yu's family, and he also knew that he was not suitable to ask too clearly.
Unless Cheng Yu said it himself.
And Cheng Yu did say that.
"My grandfather came to the Northeast when he was young. Wasn't it popular at that time to go to the mountains and go to the countryside?
Of course, when my grandfather came here, this matter had not yet been carried out on a large scale. He came here on his own.
At that time, he arrived at Dahonggouzi Village.
Well, at that time, this was still a village, not a resort like you see.
He met Cheng Cuihua's mother, but soon encountered the situation of educated youth returning home, so he returned to Wudong.
At that time, he did not know that Cheng Cuihua's mother was already pregnant with his flesh and blood.
In that era, even communication had many inconveniences, especially since it had entered a special period.
This delay led to the 1990s.
My aunt's mother was sick. After they went to Harbin for medical treatment, the doctor there said that there was an expert at the Wudong Military Region General Hospital who had done in-depth research on her mother's illness. So my aunt took her with her
Her mother came to Wudong.
My aunt has always known what happened to her father, and her mother didn't hide it from her.
So, she went to inquire about the street name that my grandfather left behind, and unexpectedly she happened to meet a street cadre who knew my grandfather.
Then, my grandfather also found out that he actually had a daughter in the Northeast.
At that time, my grandfather sold the old house at home for more than 300,000 yuan, kept tens of thousands for himself, and gave the entire 300,000 yuan to my aunt.
But because it was not easy to sell a house and raise money at that time, it took a lot of time.
So by the time he sent the money to Dahonggouzi Village, my aunt's mother had already passed away due to illness.
Originally, my aunt didn't want the money, but my grandfather went there with a sack of cash and didn't leave any contact information. He left the money and ran away. My aunt and her husband, who is Lao Dapeng,
My father worked hard and accepted the money.
They opened a food processing factory, took advantage of the reform and opening up and the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and made a lot of money.
But my grandfather didn’t tell anyone about it, he kept it all to himself.
But who is my father?
Nine years ago, he found some clues on his own. After a trip to Dahonggouzi Village, he learned about the existence of my aunt, why my family's ancestral home was sold, and where the money went.
After that, they kept in touch with my dad every year or festival, but of course, they kept it hidden from our whole family.
It was my father who gave them the idea for them to open a resort. In this regard, my father must be more accurate than them.
If they still stick to the food processing factory, their net worth will probably shrink a lot now.
But I didn't know that my father actually secretly moved Lao Dapeng to Wudong to attend university, and even left him a suite in Wudong, a community that our family developed and did real estate.
In fact, Lao Dapeng's household registration was settled in Wudong through my grandfather when he was just born.
From this point of view, my father really inherited my grandfather's genes very thoroughly, and both of them are so able to hide things."
Cheng Yu kept talking for a long time, and Zhou Datong didn't dare to interrupt him until he finally sighed.
Zhou Datong recalled a lot of information here and said, "So, that Lao Dapeng is actually your cousin?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
"Then this kid is nothing. He has received such a great favor from your father, Mr. Cheng, and yet he colludes with your cousin Cheng Fulang to harm Mr. Cheng. This grandson..."
Cheng Yu waved his hands tiredly and said, "It doesn't matter what he thinks.
But now, he is the only one who can prove that this matter was not done by him alone, but also had something to do with Cheng Fu.
So, no matter what, I still have to save his life.
It's not bad, it's not too difficult, you just need to spend money.
Therefore, I have to settle Lao Dapeng in Harbin first, and I cannot expose too much information. If Cheng Fu finds out that I have also been to Harbin, there will be many variables here.
Cheng Fu can find so many people to recommend Lao Dapeng, so it probably won’t be too difficult to find someone to help him place an order on the dark web."
At this point, Cheng Yu turned his face and looked at Zhou Datong and said, "Now, do you know why I don't use my ID card to book a room, but let you help me?"
Zhou Datong quickly replied: "I know, I know."
"It's almost time for the car I rented, so after arriving at the hotel, you go down and help me open the room. You can pre-authorize it for ten days first, and then give me the room card. I'll return the car, and you can go directly
Just leave Harbin."
Zhou Datong squeezed his eyes and said, "Mr. Cheng, do you need to register your car with your ID card?"
"At a small car rental company, I said I didn't have an ID card, so I deposited 100,000 yuan to them, and they released the car. After that, I didn't need to rent a car. In Harbin, taking a taxi is enough."
Zhou Datong nodded and said, "Okay, then I will help you book a room and go directly to the airport."
Cheng Yu closed his eyes and calmed down slowly.
Of course he didn't tell Zhou Datong the truth.
Regarding Cheng Cuihua's matter, Cheng Yu had actually wanted to make it clear to Zhou Datong early on, leaving a question like this. It would be bad if Zhou Datong made random guesses.
Anyway, Cheng Yu firmly believed that Zhou Datong would never mention Cheng Cuihua's identity to others under any circumstances. On this point, Cheng Yu could still trust him.
And through this incident, I can just make up a reason not to use my ID card.
In fact, the truth is of course not the case. Cheng Yu is not afraid that Fu Cheng will implicate Lao Dapeng with him. At least until Cheng Yu is ready to make trouble for him, Cheng Yu believes that Fu Cheng will not turn around and investigate him.
The reason why Zhou Datong was asked to help open the room was that the room was for Lao Dapeng.
Lao Dapeng's ID card can no longer be used. Cheng Fu came to Harbin because he was reliable and had other motives. He wanted to see how Lao Dapeng died with his own eyes.
Therefore, on the one hand, Cheng Yu wanted to keep Lao Dapeng in Harbin and not allow him to return to Dahonggouzi. On the other hand, he also wanted to prevent anyone from finding out Lao Dapeng's location too easily.
Zhou Datong's ID card showed that he and Cheng Fu were staying in the same hotel. Cheng Yu estimated that Cheng Fu would not be able to directly find Lao Dapeng's whereabouts even if he tried hard.
What's left is that the only place where Cheng Fu can find Lao Dapeng is that after Lao Dapeng's plane landed, he followed Lao Dapeng from the airport.
But Cheng Yu will find countless ways to prevent them from arriving at the airport, or when they go to the airport, they find that Lao Dapeng has disappeared.
Cheng Fu will definitely still want to find Lao Dapeng, but the more methods he uses, the more evidence Cheng Yu will be able to grasp. What Cheng Yu is afraid of is that even if Lao Dapeng is willing to testify against Cheng Fu, there will not be enough evidence. After all,
, things on the dark web cannot be made public.
Therefore, Cheng Yu had to find a way to let Cheng Fu leave more evidence of crime.
The car quickly entered the urban area of Harbin and quickly arrived at the hotel Cheng Fu had booked.
According to Cheng Yu's arrangement, Zhou Datong got off the car and went to the hotel front desk to check in and paid ten days' rent in one go.
Cheng Yu calculated that he could not really stay in Harbin for ten days. Once he had learned enough things, Cheng Yu planned to take Lao Dapeng back to Wudong.
As for the room here, he only needs to take the room card and tell the front desk, saying that Zhou Datong is his boss, and the boss has left temporarily because of something, so he can help with the settlement.
Because it is a pre-authorization, the hotel only needs to go straight to the settlement, and the corresponding fees can be deducted directly from the credit card that Zhou Datong pre-authorized, without him needing to show that credit card again.
Not long after, Zhou Datong returned to the parking lot with his room card and pre-authorized receipt.
After handing all this to Cheng Yu, Zhou Datong said: "Mr. Cheng, I'm really leaving. Don't do stupid things. A few million dollars is nothing to you.
In order to catch the real culprit, just make a small fortune, but don’t even think about saving this little money from the dark web.”
Cheng Yu laughed, slapped Zhou Datong heavily on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, my dad is lying in the hospital now, and all his money will be mine sooner or later. Do you know how rich I am now? As for me,
Do you want to save these millions? However, there is something I am quite curious about."
Zhou Datong blinked and whispered: "Is it related to the dark web?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "I'm very curious. If Lao Dapeng didn't hand over the money after seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning, what action would the darknet take against him? If possible, when you wake up tomorrow morning, remember
Turn on the computer and take a look at the dark web. Nothing else, I'm just curious."
Zhou Dadong laughed loudly and said, "Don't talk about you, I'm curious too. Okay, then I'll call you early tomorrow morning."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Then you can go up and take a taxi. I will go in the opposite direction to you."
Zhou Datong said no more, said a simple farewell to Cheng Yu, and left in a hurry.
Cheng Yu, on the other hand, drove towards the airport.
There is a high probability that Zhou Datong will not go to the airport in such a hurry, because Cheng Yu has checked that there is only one flight back to his home today, so Zhou Datong will probably have lunch in the city and then relax.
We stopped until the afternoon and then went to the airport.
The time was close to 11:40 noon. At this moment, Cheng Fu should be above the sky, heading towards Harbin at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour.
It was half past twelve when Cheng Yu arrived at the airport.
He returned the car first, then found another car rental company and rented a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
It was agreed that the car rental company would deliver the car to the airport around one o'clock, so Cheng Yu found a restaurant and sat down to have lunch.
After receiving a call from the car rental company, Cheng Yu picked up the car and parked it in the parking lot.
The reason why he didn't wait for Cheng Fu to fall into the trap at the hotel was because he was worried that Cheng Fu was just a showman who booked the hotel. Who knew if he had any other place to stay in Harbin?
