In the living room of the Chu family, the two-meter-high black death knell was like the death talisman, stimulating everyone's visual nerves.
For a time, a strange atmosphere filled the air, and the room temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees.
The veins on Chu Jingguo's forehead stood up, and the muscles on his face twitched. He stared straight at the death knell, gritted his teeth and shouted: "This... what the hell is going on?!"
There was overwhelming anger in his voice.
Just half an hour ago, Chu Mengyao was almost kidnapped, and now, someone sent the death knell to the Chu family.
It's hard not to connect these two things.
Suddenly, Chu Jingguo turned his head sharply, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, and asked several couriers: "Who sent you to deliver the goods?"
"This..." One of the couriers hesitated for a moment before he said: "The gentleman's surname is Chu. He is about forty years old. He claims to be your nephew and asked us to give you this gift. We don't
I know it contains a clock!"
After saying that, the couriers quickly walked out of the villa.
nephew?!
Upon hearing this, Chu Jingguo was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling something from the past.
Suddenly, Chu Jingguo's pupils shrank sharply, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"It's him...he's back?!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and his body swayed like a candle flame swaying in the wind.
Fortunately, Ye Fan stepped forward in time to support him and prevented him from falling.
"Grandpa Chu, did you remember anything? Who is that person?" Ye Fan asked anxiously.
Next to her, Chu Mengyao's pretty face also showed a confused expression, and there was even more doubt in her heart.
In terms of seniority, Chu Jingguo's nephew should be her cousin.
But since she was a child, she had never heard anything about this cousin.
There is no such person in the Chu family!
…
For a moment, there was silence in the living room, a dead silence.
Seeing that Chu Jingguo remained silent, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Grandpa Chu, the person who brought the death knell and the person behind the attempt to kidnap Mengyao are most likely the same person! If you know anything, please tell us so that we can take precautions!"
"Yes, grandpa, Xiaofan is right!" Chu Mengyao agreed.
"Why……"
Chu Jingguo sighed quietly, with a very complicated expression on his wrinkled face. After a long while, he said: "I originally thought that this matter would rot in my stomach forever, but I didn't expect it.
After so many years, he is back again! What an injustice!"
Next, under Chu Jingguo's narration, Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao figured out the whole story.
It turned out that Chu Jingguo also had a younger brother named Chu Weiguo.
This Chu Weiguo was an out-and-out prodigal, ignorant of learning and skills, proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
More than thirty years ago, he relied on his status to show off his power in the Chu Group. He had five people and six people, and he was followed by a group of sycophants.
Extremely luxurious.
Soon, the company's dividends alone were no longer enough to satisfy Chu Weiguo's extravagant life, and more and more gambling debts were owed from outside.
Later, he even colluded with outsiders to secretly embezzle the assets of the Chu Group.
But things will eventually come to light one day.
A few months later, Chu Jingguo sensed that something was wrong, and used thunderous means to exterminate his relatives. He deprived him of all his positions within the Chu Group and asked him to take the most ordinary position, starting from the lowest level.
However, after all, blood is thicker than water.
Chu Jingguo originally planned to wait until his brother corrected his evil ways in a few years before promoting him again.
However, Chu Weiguo not only failed to appreciate this good intention, he even had evil thoughts and secretly spent money to hire a killer in order to murder his own eldest brother and ascend to the throne of the head of the Chu family.
However, Chu Weiguo happened to know Dong Chuan at that time. With Dong Chuan's strength as an eighth-grade warrior, how could a few ordinary killers be able to provoke him?
After learning that the plan failed, Chu Weiguo was too embarrassed to continue to stay in Suhang and fled to the gambling city. He wanted to rely on the last money to make a comeback, but he lost completely and was found by Suhang's creditors.
Stabbed to death.
After the death of Chu Weiguo, there were still orphans and widows left behind. Their son was named Chu Ye, who was already in his teens at the time.
Chu Jingguo originally wanted to take Chu Ye into his home and raise him as his biological son.
However, due to the death of his younger brother, his younger siblings hated him [Tian Lai Novels www.23txt.xyz] to the bone, and took his son to leave Suhang and settle overseas. Since then, there has been no news.
…
After talking about this past incident, Chu Jingguo seemed to have exhausted all his strength, sighed and blamed himself:
"Hey... it's all my fault. If I hadn't condoned Weiguo from the beginning, such a tragedy wouldn't have happened later! But I never expected that after so many years, Xiaoye would come back to seek revenge on me!
"
As he said this, Chu Jingguo burst into tears and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Chu Mengyao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Grandpa, don't be too sad! You cannot be blamed for the death of Uncle Wei Guo!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan next to him didn't know what to say.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to interrupt household affairs.
As an "outsider", he was not qualified to comment on the grievances and disputes within the Chu family.
However, if the other party dared to extend its claws to Chu Mengyao, he would never sit idly by and ignore it.
Although there is no conclusive evidence yet to prove that the person who sent killers and ninjas to kidnap Chu Mengyao was Chu Ye, Chu Ye is the most suspicious.
However, Ye Fan still had deep doubts in his heart.
Ninjas are not something that can be mobilized by just any cat or dog. Even in the Japanese country, many ordinary people have never seen a ninja in their entire lives. From this, it can be inferred that Chu Ye's background is definitely extraordinary.
but--
Dragons have reverse scales, and if you touch them, you will die.
For Ye Fan, Chu Mengyao is the biggest villain.
No matter who the enemy is, as long as he dares to hurt Chu Mengyao, he will definitely make him die without a burial place.
This death knell will toll for his enemies.
…
At the same time, in a luxurious villa dozens of miles away from the Chu family.
A handsome young man was sitting on a large leather sofa with his legs crossed, looking relaxed and comfortable.
He is about 25 or 26 years old, with fair skin. He is obviously a pampered person. He has narrow peach blossom eyes and thick eyebrows raised slightly, but he does not look frivolous, but adds a bit of handsomeness. His nose bridge is straight and his thin red cheeks
The lips are slightly raised, outlining a mysterious smile, which invisibly reveals a noble and elegant temperament.
Beside him, there were two young and beautiful girls in kimono waiting on him.
One girl stood behind the sofa, squeezing his shoulders, while the other girl leaned in his arms, peeled the grapes, and fed them to him in her red lips.
Such days are simply happier than those of gods.
In front of him, a middle-aged man in his early forties stood at attention, looking down at his watch from time to time, looking anxious.
After a while, the middle-aged man still couldn't help but ask: "Master Mitsui, it's already midnight, why is there no news yet? Is there anything going wrong?"
"snort!"
Mitsui Xiang, who was sitting on the sofa, snorted coldly and said with a displeased look on his face: "Chu Ye, are you questioning the strength of my men?"
"Don't dare! I'm just too nervous!"
The middle-aged man quickly shook his head and explained that he was Chu Jingguo's nephew, Chu Ye.
At this time, Mitsui Xiang stood up from the sofa, walked up to him, slapped his face humiliatingly with the back of his hand, and said coldly:
"Chu Ye, don't forget your identity. You are just a lackey of our Mitsui family! If it weren't for the strength of the family, you are still wandering the streets of Tokyo. How could you possibly return to China to avenge the Chu family?"
"Master Mitsui, you are teaching me a lesson!" Chu Ye nodded quickly and bowed without any backbone.
"Kick, kick, kick, kick!"
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
Immediately afterwards, a ninja in black appeared in the living room.
"Sato, you're back! Bring that girl to me!" Mitsui Sho ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ninja immediately knelt down on one knee and said:
"Master Mitsui, something bad has happened! The mission failed, Hattori and his troops were wiped out!"
