Chapter 313 Debt
"Sir, we can't find any information about Sunny. His identity is top secret internationally."
Yu Fusheng's face was gloomy: "Is there nothing we can do about him?"
"Sir, Sunny's confidant Lan Xiping is still in China. He is in our hands now, but..."
Yu Fusheng frowned and looked at him.
"At the Leng family's banquet a few days ago, this Lan Xiping followed Amos around in a swaggering manner. Could there be something going on between them..."
"Amos again, what does he want to do?"
Yu Fusheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's solve the second brother's problem first, and we can deal with the other things later. You go and do it yourself, and you must be careful."
When the secretary left the study, it was already the next morning, but the sky was terrifyingly gloomy. Wansui Mountain was shrouded in mist, and the sky and the earth were filled with a despairing coldness.
"Secretary Han."
Han Li looked up and saw a tall man in a guard uniform standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Captain Wu."
Wu Jun, captain of the guard of Four Seasons Villa, is responsible for the guard duties of the entire villa.
This person is the most outstanding talent selected from the Qinglong Army's commando team, and is also the person Yu Fusheng trusts the most.
Wu Jun stepped forward and said, "Regarding the fire in the back mountain on New Year's Eve, I need to report to you in person."
Han Li looked at him: "Is there anything wrong with the fire?"
Wu Jun looked hesitant and was about to say something when Han Li received a call and Wu Jun stopped talking abruptly.
Han Li came back after answering the phone. He looked a little anxious and said hurriedly, "Let's stop with the people and things in the back mountain. Don't mention it again. The gentleman is very busy recently. It's best not to disturb him. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."
After saying this, he left quickly.
Wu Jun stared at Han Li's receding back with a frown on his face.
As the captain of the guard of Four Seasons Villa, the back mountain is naturally under his jurisdiction.
The conditions in the back mountain were harsh, and none of his men were willing to go there.
Since the identity of the people in the back mountain was a secret and could not be leaked, he could only force them to be recruited.
The old couple, one disabled and the other blind, and the suspension bridge was a natural barrier and the guards at the foot of the mountain were tight. Given their situation, there was no way they could escape.
Therefore, only two guards are enough.
Occasionally, he would patrol the back mountain and see the dilapidated courtyard between the cliffs from afar. It was isolated from the world and seemed to have been forgotten.
He knew the identity of the old couple very early.
In his heart, he has a sense of duty to be loyal to his post, as well as a trace of compassion unknown to outsiders.
On New Year's Eve, a fire broke out in Jingyuan. The fire was so fierce that it was too late when he rushed there.
The fire burned all night long, and at dawn, the ground was left with ruins.
There were no bodies in the ruins.
This is very strange.
He found the two drunk guards in the woods next to Jingyuan. In the icy and snowy weather, if he had gone a little later, they would have frozen into corpses.
The two recalled that it was Dr. Zhu Keke who sent them the wine and food, and they were confused for a moment, which led to the big mistake.
A person was also found in the woods, almost buried by the falling snow. It was Guo Cui, the servant who took care of the old couple.
Guo Cui would have died after freezing in the snow all night given her physical condition, but she was still alive and was soon saved after being sent to the hospital.
Wu Jun wanted to ask something from her, but strangely, Guo Cui's throat was damaged and she couldn't speak.
The examination results showed that she must have taken a poisonous herb that would cause irreversible damage to her throat.
Guo Cui was illiterate and could not recognize a single big character, so it was impossible for her to write down her experience with a pen.
The clue ends here.
But this just proves that the fire on New Year's Eve was not an accident. If it was caused by someone with ulterior motives... then he would report it to the gentleman as soon as possible.
Han Li's warning was still ringing in his ears, and Wu Jun was wavering.
The biggest issue facing the Yu family right now is the old lady’s serious illness. The master is a filial son and a virtuous grandson, so he probably has no mood to care about the old couple in the back mountain.
Moreover, Han Li's words implied that he should not mention those two people again. It should be that the gentleman did not want to hear the name of the old couple again.
However, his duty as the captain of the guard told him that the fire and disappearances might be part of some conspiracy, so how could he turn a blind eye?
Zhu Keke was brought in by Manager Wei, so he must be related to the First Lady.
Wu Jun thought about it, then turned and went to the eldest lady's courtyard.
Wei Zhuhua didn't get a good rest last night, so she felt tired when she woke up in the morning. She sat in front of the window and stared at the snow scene outside.
At this time, Wei Lai walked in: "Madam, Captain Wu is here."
Wei Zhuhua was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat up straight: "If he doesn't come to find me, I will go to find him too, let him in."
Wei Zhuhua cheered herself up. The Yu family had a lot of things going on recently, and she couldn't complain anymore.
Wu Jun walked in with his head down: "Madam."
"Are you here because of the fire in Jingyuan?"
"That's right." Wu Jun expressed his doubts.
Wei Zhuhua frowned: "Are you saying that the bodies of the two people were not found in the ruins?"
She thought that with such a big fire, there was absolutely no chance of survival for the two of them.
The fire came out of nowhere, and she thought that Yu Fusheng was upset because of the old lady's serious illness and deliberately took advantage of the old couple.
Now it seems that there is something else going on.
"Doctor Zhu Keke is your man, Madam."
Wei Zhuhua nodded: "She is the distant niece of Manager Wei. Is there anything wrong with her?" "According to the guards on duty that night, it was Doctor Zhu who gave them wine and meat. They were confused for a moment, got drunk, and neglected their duties, which led to the disaster. The Zhuqing wine from Weiruixuan was sent to the back mountain by Manager Weilai."
Wei Lai waved his hands quickly: "Absolutely not. I stayed in the courtyard that night and didn't go anywhere. Madam, you can testify for me."
"That's right, he didn't go to the back mountain that night."
Wei Zhuhua suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Was it this Zhu Keke who set the fire?"
Wu Jun looked at Wei Lai and said, "Manager Wei, are you sure she is your distant niece?"
Wei Lai looked anxious, “I’ll check it out now.”
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Wei Zhuhua thought for a moment and said, "You mean, this Zhu Keke bribed the guards on duty with wine, poisoned Guo Cui's voice, threw her into the snow on the back mountain, and then started a fire and fled with the old couple?"
Wu Jun bowed his head: "Everything is just speculation."
Wei Zhuhua smiled slightly: "Captain Wu, if this is true, then you are guilty of dereliction of duty."
Wu Jun knelt on one knee and said, "I am willing to accept any punishment."
Wei Zhuhua then asked, "Have you told Mr. about this?"
Wu Jun replied: "Not yet."
Wei Zhuhua picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said slowly, "Then never tell him."
Wu Jun looked up suddenly.
The lady's beautiful face was hidden behind the mist of tea, making it difficult to see clearly.
"That man clearly had the chance to take the life of the guard on duty. Even Guo Cui only poisoned her to make her voice mute. In a place like the back mountain, she was still alive after freezing all night. Do you think it was an accident?"
Wu Jun said: "She doesn't want to hurt innocent people."
"Her goal from the beginning to the end was just to rescue the old couple, so why don't we fulfill her wish?"
"But Madam, the fact that that person was able to sneak through the Four Seasons Villa's defenses silently is enough to prove that he is quite capable. If such a person is not identified, he will always be a hidden danger to the Yu family."
"You can investigate secretly, but don't let the gentleman know. Otherwise, do you think you can continue to be the captain of the guard?"
Wu Jun was struggling in his heart.
Wei Zhuhua glanced at him and said calmly, "I know you are very loyal, and the Yu family is blessed to have you, but do you think there are many people in this world who have the ability and the faith to rescue the old couple?"
Wu Jun thought about it, and his eyes widened suddenly: "It's Xiao..."
Wei Zhuhua narrowed her eyes.
That surname, like the word "Sang", is an absolute taboo in the Yu family.
Wu Jun swallowed the rest of his words, and he understood a little more in his heart.
"Captain Wu, only when you know shame can you be brave. I don't think this is a bad thing. It proves that there are still loopholes in our Yu family's guards. Captain Wu, you have guarded the Yu family for many years, and the master trusts you. Instead of blaming yourself and regretting it here, you should think about how to strengthen the defense next time and not give the scoundrels any chance to take advantage of you. This way you can live up to the master's trust."
Wu Jun understood what Wei Zhuhua meant.
Regardless of loyalty or selfishness, this matter can only be investigated privately and must never be disclosed to the gentleman.
"I will follow Madam's instructions."
Wei Zhuhua smiled and said, "Captain Wu, you are a smart man. You know how to proceed."
Wu Jun lowered his head, showing his respect.
"Okay, go down, don't come to my yard if you don't have anything to do."
Wu Jun walked out of the door and looked back at the woman sitting quietly under the window inside the house.
The madam concealed so much, to put it bluntly, because she felt pity for the old couple and wanted to let them go. Otherwise, if it were according to the gentleman's temper, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly, and then implicate a group of people, and he, the captain of the guard, would be the first to bear the brunt.
Wu Jun had long realized that the Yu family had a heritage of cruelty, but he was surprised by this weak eldest lady.
It is a softness and kindness that is completely different from the Yu family.
The woman sighed, a hint of melancholy visible between her beautiful eyebrows, adding a touch of gentleness and grace to her charm.
The eldest lady was out of place in the Yu family, like a sheep among wolves.
But in fact, the eldest lady only looks weak. Her words just now are enough to reveal the determination and pride in her bones.
Wu Jun realized that he had revealed too many of his thoughts to the first lady, and he left quickly with a startled heart.
Wei Zhuhua leaned back on the pillow with her eyes drooping.
Is it out of pity for the old couple?
she does not know.
Now it seems that the Yu family is flourishing and prosperous, but what does temporary prosperity mean? From top to bottom, from old to young, there is no one in the Yu family who has moral integrity. They are like poor people who have suddenly become rich. They work desperately to amass wealth and power, and have taken the word "bullying others by taking advantage of their power" to the extreme.
The old lady enjoyed a happy life, but now she is old, suffering from insanity and unable to sleep at night. Her filial sons and grandsons all have their own thoughts and no one is willing to take care of her bedside. The servants have to take care of her excrement and urine. Such filial piety is mixed with some sincerity.
Buddhism says that cause and effect are cyclical and retribution is inevitable, and those who do evil will be punished.
It's not that it is not reported, the time has not come.
In her opinion, this was the retribution for the old lady. Although it came a little late, it finally came.
What the old lady is most concerned about is the heirs. The younger generation of the Yu family only has Ruohuan as their child, and he is not even the boy that the grandmother is most looking forward to.
She felt that the grandmother could not wait for her eldest grandson.
No heir, this is the retribution for the Yu family and Old Lady Yu.
She thought of the phone call that Yu Fusheng secretly answered last night, and realized that something bigger must have happened in the Yu family.
She vaguely felt that a densely woven net was slowly covering the Yu family, and no one in the Yu family could escape.
She didn't have any special abilities, but she believed deeply in the law of cause and effect. The only thing she could do was to use her meager strength to pay off a little bit of the sins of the Yu family, not her daughter.
If the gods and Buddhas have eyes, I hope that her kindness can benefit her daughter and save her from this sin.
