This birthday banquet is finally over. In fact, except for the special situation of Qiao Meng in the middle, it is quite normal. He also added a lot of color to the birthday banquet, so everyone expressed a friendly welcome to his appearance.
, especially the method of identifying treasures, deeply attracted the Qiao family.
Naturally, he and Baidu were kept by Qiao Tianfeng. Originally, according to the rules of the Qiao family, Baidu should not be kept, but in order to allow Qiao Meng to live here with peace of mind, they made an accommodation.
Fan.
The next day, Qiao Meng arrived early at the courtyard where Qiao Tianfeng was. This was an appointment Qiao Tianfeng had made with him. He then followed him to the courtyard where Mr. Qiao was, stopping outside the house in the middle.
"Wait here now."
"Okay, you go."
"Dad, I brought Xiaomeng here." Qiao Tianfeng knocked on the door and said.
"Bring him in." Mr. Qiao's voice sounded full of energy, and he didn't look like he was seventy years old at all.
After getting permission, the two of them opened the door and went in. Looking at the furnishings inside, they found it to be unexpectedly simple and unsophisticated. However, Qiao Meng knew that this was only for outsiders. When they first came in, they might naively think that the room was ordinary.
Little did he know that it was just a simple wooden shelf made of at least a hundred-year-old tree. Looking at the porcelain vases placed on it, although there were very few fancy things, it was because of this that it had a unique charm.
"I didn't expect that they are all rich people but lead different lives. The low-key one can make people even doubt whether he is really that rich. The hidden one is very deep. The high-profile one can scare people into thinking that he is rich and can rival the country."
Qiao Meng shook his head and said that he still didn't quite understand what this kind of super rich and powerful man was thinking in his heart.
"Have you ever seen anyone who is so high-profile that he is extremely wealthy? Have all the four major families in Kyoto been there?" Mr. Qiao asked with a smile.
"No, how can I have that ability? I have never met anyone from the other four major families. I just talked about it casually. Don't worry about it." Qiao Meng laughed knowing that he accidentally talked too much and wanted to change the topic.
"I think you are not just talking casually. How could you say it so smoothly if there is no actual fact? I, an old man, will be very curious about who else can have such strength besides the four major families." Mr. Qiao.
It was immediately obvious what Qiao Meng was thinking, but he didn't want to expose it.
"Well...it's really nothing. It's just an ordinary friend's house. I've never seen the Qiao family fight before, so I mistakenly thought it was a sign of wealth. But now I know that's really far from it."
As he spoke, Qiao Meng picked up a cup of tea poured on the table and drank it. He didn't dare to look at Mr. Qiao, as he felt that if he looked at each other for a few seconds, he would be seen through.
Qiao Tianfeng on the side felt a little funny when he saw Qiao Meng like this. He didn't expect that this guy would be scared sometimes. He had heard Chen Shicheng say before that he was fearless.
"You don't have to be so afraid of me as an old man. It won't hurt if I just ask." Mr. Qiao shook his head and said.
"I'm not afraid of you, and everything I tell you is true. For example, this tea is really delicious, and how can you be called old? Don't you look so energetic and speak so powerfully?"
Qiao Meng admired after taking another sip of tea.
"You're quite good at talking. Well, if you don't want to say anything, then don't say it. Let's talk about some serious business." Mr. Qiao's eyes suddenly revealed a solemn and solemn aura, which made Qiao Meng stunned.
.
"You...speak first, I'm listening."
Qiao Meng originally wanted to ask Qiao Tianfeng about Chen Shicheng first, but now he didn't dare to go too far. It was good that he was relatively casual and didn't receive any sanctions. If he really wanted to do something to him, he really couldn't resist.
.
Mr. Qiao didn't say anything else. He put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked to the next room as if to go to something. When he came back, Qiao Meng saw a yellowed photo in his hand. For some reason
He actually felt a little uneasy and uneasy in his heart.
But this kind of uneasiness was not the kind that made him feel scared. It was an emotion that caught him off guard and didn't know how to deal with it. He was thinking about a lot of things at once.
"This is a photo of my eldest son when he was young. I have kept it in this cabinet since he left. When he was a child, he loved to go to my cabinet to look for confiscated things." Mr. Qiao said, tears began to well up in his eyes.
, obviously feeling sad after seeing things and missing people.
"Can I take a look?" Qiao Meng asked.
The old man didn't say anything, but handed him the photo. He thought that if he said another word, he might become choked up, and then he would lose his composure. It is impossible for the old master to not have this little self-control.
Qiao Meng took the photo and looked at it carefully. There was a man and a woman on it. The woman's vagina was sticking out, she must be pregnant. The man looked at her affectionately. It looked like a very warm picture.
Although this man is not a handsome man, he is still very handsome. The more I look at him, the more I feel that he is very similar to the man in the photo. Whether it is the heroic look between his eyebrows or other facial features, they are so similar. If
If it weren’t for the fact that the photo was a little blurry and slightly from the side, I would really think it was me.
After reading it, Qiao Meng actually felt a little sad, "Old man, is this my... my, my biological father?"
After several struggles in his heart, Qiao Meng finally plucked up the courage to ask. He wanted to face this matter squarely and face it as he needed to. He didn't want to escape anymore. No matter what the result was, he would not regret it.
"I wasn't sure at first, but after such a long period of observation, I found that you are very similar to my elder brother in terms of appearance and personality, and the two of them happened to be on their way back from S city when they died."
"It completely matches the time of your birth. In addition to your name, I also investigated and found out that your master decided to give you such a name after seeing the sign on it." Qiao Tianfeng said.
"So you have known about my existence for a long time? Did you arrange it for Chen Shicheng?" Qiao Meng was finally able to ask this question.
"Yes, ever since I discovered your existence, I asked him to secretly step down from his position as mayor and approach you to investigate slowly. And the reason why I haven't been at Qiao's house for so many years is because I want to investigate the murderer who killed my eldest brother and sister-in-law.
." Qiao Tianfeng told the truth that had been buried in his heart for so many years.
"Did you find anything?" Qiao Meng asked anxiously.
"We have found some clues, but there is no conclusive evidence yet." Qiao Tianfeng said with some disappointment.
"It took so long to find some clues. What's the use of it? Do you have someone to suspect? Do you need any more evidence? Is there anyone who can compete with the great cause of the Qiao family?" Qiao Meng gradually felt a little bit in his heart.
He became so frantic that he couldn't control himself.
"Xiao Meng, don't be like this. You can't be impulsive before things are clear. Moreover, the current Kyoto is not as simple as you see on the surface. In fact, the four major families have long been colluding to attack the Qiao family."
"It's just that they are too selfish, so there hasn't been any big news yet. The Qiao family is not invincible." Qiao Tianfeng angrily yelled. He didn't expect Qiao Meng to lose his mind so easily at this time.
After hearing what he said, Qiao Meng calmed down a little, "Do you mean to say that the death of my father and my mother was the result of the four major families joining forces?"
"It's not certain yet, but there is a possibility. At that time, the eldest brother was at the height of his power, and he was very disliked by the four major families. Although he didn't say anything openly, he also took away a lot of resources."
"A large part of the credit for the Qiao family's continued prosperity is actually due to my eldest brother. Your grandfather was ill at that time and had no time to take care of the family affairs. Later, I took over the Qiao family after returning from abroad." Qiao Tianfeng began.
Telling about what happened to the Qiao family many years ago.
"In that case, why didn't you tell me this earlier? There is no need to hesitate at all. It must have been done by people from the four major families. I originally thought that my growth rate was enough, but I didn't expect that it was far from enough.
Facing an enemy he knows but has no ability to take revenge." Qiao Meng once again felt dissatisfied with his abilities, and the desire in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Actually, your second uncle had wanted to take you back for a long time, but I didn't agree. I wanted to see where you could go without the help of the Qiao family. You did a good job, even better than your father.
, he doesn’t even have half of your abilities at this age." Mr. Qiao explained.
"It turns out that you were all acting for me before, whether you met by chance or didn't know each other. In fact, I am the chess piece that was arranged. How many times have I been faced with life crises and I have felt how helpless I was. The previous
I don’t blame you, but when Qiao Hai and his son wanted to kill me, you didn’t react at all.”
Qiao Meng's heart was still a little cold. He had seen too many human feelings, and now he only thought about how to take revenge.
"How is it possible? If they hadn't already suspected that you were a son of our family, why would they dare to do such a thing? It's at most a dispute over interests." Qiao Tianfeng said.
"How is it impossible? If I hadn't made arrangements with Baidu when I got off the plane, I might have been a corpse by now. And then I was imprisoned by Qiao Hai in his secret base some time ago. I can tell at a glance that those people are obviously related to Shou Yan.
The guards from the Qiao family are not the same." Qiao Meng said very dissatisfied.
"Second uncle has been negligent in these things. Don't worry, similar things will never happen again in the future. Let's avenge brother's revenge together. I need your ability." Qiao Tianfeng said seriously.
"Come back, I think your parents also want to see this day." Mr. Qiao also persuaded.
"No need, I have my own power now. I believe I will be able to take my own revenge in the near future. I will eliminate all the four major families in Kyoto, leaving no one behind. I will make the people of the Qiao family sober up, and they will all disappear if they offend me! Not long after.
Stay, grandpa, second uncle, take your leave!" After Qiao Meng said that, he stood up and left.
