novel(How Many Birds Did You Kill with One Stone?) Chen Yuanxi Perfectly Frames Several People
| ← Ch.200 | Ch.202 → |
Chen Yuanxi had to admit that Zhao Yuan was right. He had to find a way out of Zhang Dong.
He and Zhang Dong listed all the events of these years, and concluded one rule. Chen Tianjiao had asked Zhang Dong to work in a small area of a small county every year. One year, Zhang Dong went there to help a lonely old man check and repair water and electricity. One year, Zhang Dong was asked to go there to intimidate the city management who harassed the peddlers from time to time. Another year, Zhang Dong helped to deal with local ruffians who fled hither and thither there...
That lonely old man!
"It's almost time for you to go there this year. When you're there, you need to find out who the old man is and what the story is. Do you understand? Ask me if there's something happen... or you can ask the person behind you." Chen Yuanxi told him again and again. He was afraid that Zhang Dong would mess up the matter.
Shu Xiaoman was surprised that Lin Wenxi, who had never been in touch with her, wanted her to do something for him in the name of Zhao Yuan, and at the same time she needed to keep it secret from both Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin.
She went to Zhou Nannan's hometown reluctantly.
At Wang Zhengjuan's wedding, Shu Xiaoman saw very clearly that Wang Zhengjuan was unwilling to get married. Although the man looked fair, he just was a rich second generation and the officiallings. He did love Wang Zhengjuan, but seemed to be skilled at nothing. How could Wang Zhengjuan like such a person? If it had happened more than ten years ago, she would have felt sympathy for Zhou Nannan, but now she thought that it was better to persuade Zhou Nannan to marry with somebody else. As for herself, she had not figured out what to do next.
After listening to Shu Xiaoman, Zhou Nannan thought that it was Zhao Yuan who wanted to help her figure out a way and did not doubt it. She might just have a reason to meet Zhengjuan. Although Wang Zhengjuan was in a hurry when she said she was going to marry and Zhou Nannan was caught off guard, Zhou Nannan could only compromise in the end. She did not believe what Wang Zhengjuan said. She only believed her heart. When Wang Zhengjuan cried like a child in front of her and told her everything, she knew that she could only make the same choice if she were Wang Zhengjuan at that moment. Wang Zhengjuan refused to show her those photos, but she could also guess what kind of photos they were. After all, she had experienced those cruel things the Chens had done.
Although Wang Zhengjuan did not want to cause any trouble, she still went to see her parents when she heard Zhou Nannan say that it was Zhao Yuan's meaning.
Everything went well. When Shu Xiaoman sent something to Chen Yuanxi, she added a note which said, "Zhou Nannan hopes me to stop Zhao Yuan from dealing with you. She said that you must have your reasons."
Chen Yuanxi took the package and hung up Shu Xiaoman's phone in a hurry.
Shu Xiaoman felt that her heart was empty when the phone was suddenly hung up, as if the last trace of something had also quietly stripped away. When she returned from Zhou Nannan's house, she sprained the ankle accidentally and almost fell on the ground because she was a little weak. But Lin Wenxi did not ask about it anymore. He also did not care about Zhou Nannan at all, let alone the message Zhou Nannan asked her to pass on to Zhao Yuan.
"Hum, how much hatred Wang Zhengjuan's parents and I have, how true the evidence will be!" Chen Yuanxi said confidently.
Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong unpacked the package and found that there were indeed many pieces of evidence of Chen Tianjiao's activities. But they only suggested that Chen Tianjiao had made use of his position, which was no big deal. However, they could test Mo Qian's attitude if they exposed some to Mo Qian.
"In addition, you have to strive for much more free time from Mo Qian. Betraying me can be used as your bargaining chip, " Chen Yuanxi said to Zhang Dong with a smile.
"Mo Qian won't believe your statement, as you are the one side of the story. Take this with you, " said Chen Yuanxi.
This was a pinhole camera with an upward angle of 45 degrees. Chen Yuanxi's conversation with somebody had been recorded by it and his expression was clearly visible.
Soon, Mo Qian received a message from Zhang Dong that Chen Yuanxi seemed to have frequent contacts with an entrepreneur, whose apply for legal loan had been refused recently, resulting in the breakdown of the capital chain and bankruptcy.
"Where did he get the news?" asked Mo Qian.
Zhang Dong shook his head and said, "BC Company has been expanding recently, and investing in small and medium-sized companies. The young master should have contacted that person in the process."
"What do you think?" asked Mo Qian.
"I don't know. Young master is unfathomable."
"Are you afraid of making mistakes? I want you to say what you really think!"
"I think he is not totally loyal to the Chens, " said Zhang Dong.
"Do you also think so?" Mo Qian looked up slightly.
Zhang Dong nodded.
"Pay attention to it! Does he just want to contact others... or is there really something strange?" asked Mo Qian.
Zhang Dong took out the pinhole camera and said, "I interrogated him, and he gave this to me. I guess he wanted to record something when talking with the young master to threat the young master in the future."
They watched the video together, which showed Chen Yuanxi and the entrepreneur denouncing Chen Tianjiao together.
Seeing Mo Qian's satisfied smile, Zhang Dong complained, "But the young master is very suspicious recently. He used to only ask me to be a handyman everywhere. But now he often asks me to leave, and I can't find him anywhere. Besides, he always asks me to direct traffic in the parking lot when he meets someone."
"I see. Play something by ear in the future, " Mo Qian said as he turned on the computer and thoughtfully watched the video, which showed the life of Zhang Dong's family and everything was as usual. But Zhang Dong almost changed his face.
"Master Mo, to what extent can you let my family go?" asked Zhang Dong.
Mo Qian smiled and said, "If only you had no family, just like the Third Master."
"Boss Mo, please don't say it again. I know how to do it. But the first thing Mr. Chen asks me to do is to protect the young master. I'm afraid that if the young master will know anything and report to Mr. Chen..."
"If there's nothing particularly important in the future, you needn't come here. In fact, young master has been doubting you, not just for a moment. You'd better conduct yourself well. Or, I'll suggest Mr. Chen change a bodyguard for the young master later. Maybe the Third Master can control the young master, " Mo Qian said while looking at Zhang Dong's face. Zhang Dong showed joy on his face for a moment, and soon covered it up.
As expected, Chen Yuanxi was soon called home by Chen Tianjiao.
Chen Yuanxi came to Chen Tianjiao's residence with tonic that he had carefully selected, tired and sweating. Chen Tianjiao's face changed slightly when he saw Chen Yuanxi.
After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Chen Tianjiao went straight to the point and took out the video.
"What do you think, dad?" asked Chen Yuanxi.
"I need your explanation, " said Chen Tianjiao.
"I think someone is going to provoke our relationship, " said Chen Yuanxi.
"Who?"
"I don't know for the moment, but what do you think, dad?"
Chen Tianjiao slightly closed his eyes and did not speak. When he opened his eyes, Chen Yuanxi had left without saying a word. Chen Tianjiao seemed to see that his eyes were red.
Chen Yuanxi asked Zhang Dong to borrow some people from the Mo Family. Zhang Dong went to ask for Mo Qian's permission, and Mo Qian agreed.
Then, someone told Chen Tianjiao that the young master of the Chen Family had searched the home of an entrepreneur. Now the police had known Chen Yuanxi's address and were going to bring him to the police station for questioning.
Chen Tianjiao took some effort to settle this matter. Then he, with a serious look, waited at home for Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong to explain.
"Get out of here!" Chen Yuanxi pointed to Zhang Dong and roared.
Zhang Dong dropped his hand and walked out obediently.
Chen Yuanxi showed the complete video to Chen Tianjiao and said, "Dad, I wanted to resolve conflicts with that entrepreneur sincerely, but I didn't expect him to frame me. This is the second half of the video."
The first half of the video showed how Chen Yuanxi expressed his dissatisfaction with his father Chen Tianjiao, which was the part Chen Tianjiao received. The second half showed how Chen Yuanxi skillfully explained for Chen Tianjiao, asked the entrepreneur for understanding, apologized on behalf of his father, and proposed solutions.
Chen Tianjiao was relieved, but Chen Yuanxi was about to cry.
"My son, I believe you. But when you need to do something next time, just ask Zhang Dong to do. You needn't do it by yourself."
Chen Yuanxi complained, "I also don't want to go by myself. But Zhang Dong won't leave me for a second. I can only go with him." Then he asked, "Dad, where did you get the first half of this video?"
"Someone sent it directly to our house, " Chen Tianjiao said, "It seems that he is ill-disposed."
Then Chen Yuanxi took out another video, which recorded what the entrepreneur said when he went to search his home. On that day, the entrepreneur was forced to kneel to beg for mercy and said, "Someone knew you wanted to make an appointment with me, so he forced me to record what you would say." Chen Yuanxi asked him to tell him who was behind the scenes, but the entrepreneur was very scared and said that he did not dare to risk the lives of his family members.
"Daddy! If I had not searched his home, I really don't know how to explain! After all, I came back seven years ago. Maybe you, auntie, and sister don't believe me, do you? Otherwise, both Wanxin and I are in the BC Company, but why did he only frame me while nothing happen to Wanxin?" Chen Yuanxi could not help being sad.
Chen Tianjiao sat there and did not know what to say for a while. If someone did want to provoke dissension between them, Chen Wanxin was the most likely suspect. Since the entrepreneur dared not name the people behind the threats at the risk of his family being hurt, this matter might have been done by Luo Yang, who was also ordered by Mo Qian.
"Dad, I want to go back to America, " Chen Yuanxi suddenly said, "It's hard to stay in China."
"What did you say? Some people are helping you manage the business in America, which belongs to you. I... need you here. Wanxin is short of inexperience in managing a company, " said Chen Tianjiao.
"I want to go back." Chen Yuanxi suddenly choked with sobs.
"My son, we didn't reunite until you were 19. But as soon as you came back, you went to the United States to study." Chen Tianjiao's voice was hoarse.
Chen Yuanxi's mouth slightly twitched, and his face suddenly became cold.
"Dad, I'll go first. You should have a rest early. I'll discuss with you about going back to America, " Chen Yuanxi said and left without looking back.
Before leaving, Zhang Dong was severely scolded by Chen Tianjiao."Your task is to protect Yuanxi, not monitor him!" After that, Chen Tianjiao saw Zhang Dong's expression, and suddenly understood something. Then he contacted Mo Qian by himself.
Chen Yuanxi's residence.
"Wenxi, how many birds did you kill with one stone? Why can't I figure it out?" Zhang Dong asked as he counted with his fingers, "You have provoked dissension between Mo Qian and your father, and between your father and Wanxin. You pretended to want to go abroad, which makes your father want you to stay more... You forced your father to make up his mind. In the name of your father, you help me get more from Mo Qian. Wenxi, you really..."
"It's still unknown whether the other birds will be killed. At least we can be sure that Mo Qian is not loyal to Chen Tianjiao! I wanted to investigate Mo Qian, who immediately asked He Fu to kill Wang Chang. I wanted to investigate Chen Tianjiao, but Mo Qian gave such a video to Chen Tianjiao to provoke dissension between Chen Tianjiao and me. He even didn't show up at all. If so, we can investigate Chen Tianjiao first, and then investigate Mo Qian!"
Chen Yuanxi finally showed a rare smile.
