Chapter 216 The Reason for Leaving Home

Zhao Shiyun obviously understood what he meant, so he did not hide anything and talked about everything from the time his parents had a car accident to the present day. He was not only talking to Gao Jue, but also to Zhao Lexi.

When her parents died, she was still young and didn't understand many things.

She always thought that she gave up her studies and the position of clan leader that was within her grasp in order to take care of her younger siblings, and she felt very guilty. But in fact, it was only partly for her younger siblings. For him, the position of clan leader was not easy to obtain. He was not like his father, the eldest son and grandson, who was both legitimate and virtuous. He had just graduated from college and was too young to convince others. There were too many people around him who coveted that position, which made the road full of blood and rain. He was fighting openly and secretly, and in the end, the most likely result was the annihilation of the family of four.

He didn't want to bet on this outcome.

I can’t afford to gamble either.

So I chose to leave.

Zhao Lexi listened quietly. She was already unfamiliar with that place. She had never returned since she left.

But I didn't expect that there were so many dangers.

"So, mom and dad's death was not an accident!" Zhao Lexi affirmed word by word.

"No!" Zhao Shiyun clasped his hands in front of him, "That traffic accident did look like an accident. Grandpa tried every means but failed to find out who in the family had colluded with the driver, so in the end, the case could only be closed as an accident. As time went by, Grandpa gradually came to believe that it was an accident. After all, if it wasn't an accident, it would mean that the Zhao family had internal strife, which was something Grandpa didn't want to see. He was already very sad about losing his eldest son. So I didn't insist on investigating further."

"However, although I am not in the south, I have never given up investigating the driver. The driver is from T City." Zhao Shiyun answered Gao Jue's question, "I started investigating from his elementary school, his classmates, his friends, and even netizens!"

"Finally found one of his pen pals!"

"Pen pal? What is a pen pal?" Zhao Lexi didn't understand.

"We were friends who wrote to each other before computers," Zhao Shiyun explained simply. "This pen pal is my third grandfather's second son, Zhao Liang, the illegitimate child who was brought into the family at the age of five."

Zhao Lexi pouted: "It's that coward Zhao Shixuan's father who always rolls on the ground and howls when I beat him!"

"It was him. What a coincidence, right? I also think it's not accidental, but such a thing can't be used as evidence to prove that Zhao Liang was related to our parents' death. So, I continued to investigate and checked all the contact information between them. After they went to college, they contacted less frequently, but they still exchanged mobile phone numbers and occasionally sent messages. They were all sent by Zhang Liang to the driver who caused the accident, showing off the luxury of his life. But that's all."

"After graduation, the driver couldn't find a job he wanted, so he started to work as a hauler with his father. Although it was tiring, the income was pretty good. Later, he started to work as a hauler on his own, and he did it for 20 years. During this period, the two of us had less and less contact, until he hit and killed my parents!"

"It was Zhao Liang who ordered it!" Zhao Lexi said hatefully.

"I don't know. I didn't find any evidence of their connection. I only know that during that time, the driver's son received a full scholarship from an Ivy League school and went abroad."

"Was it done by Zhao Liang?"

"It wasn't him. He didn't interfere. The driver's son is a good student. I checked his final exam paper and there was nothing wrong with it. It's only natural that he got a full scholarship."

"Oh!" Zhao Lexi lowered her head in disappointment.

"But you can't get into the Ivy League just by having good grades. There were ten people from his school who applied to that school, and only he got the admission letter. All ten of them were outstanding, but he wasn't the best in academics, and he didn't make any achievements in other areas such as sports and music. His family background was also the worst. Why did the school choose him?"

"Why?" Zhao Lexi was also curious. "His recommender is the most important one. This person has no connection with the driver, and has nothing to do with Zhao Liang. I originally thought that he had some special connection with the driver's son, so I didn't think much about it at the time. But now, knowing that there is such an immortal organization, I wonder if that person and Zhao Liang are both members of the organization!"

Zhao Lexi nodded repeatedly, but soon frowned and said, "That organization isn't that great. My father, who is so powerful, doesn't even look down on him, but instead looks down on such an illegitimate child!"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't like Dad. It could be that after being rejected, he had to settle for the next best thing. A person like Dad would not bother to take such a crooked path."

"If it was just to satisfy Zhao Liang's selfish desires, the organization might not have planned to kill him, but what if Dad rejected their invitation? Would they kill two birds with one stone?"

Neither the brother nor the sister spoke.

Gao Jue considered and said: "If the invitation was just a failure, there would be no need to kill someone."

The brother and sister looked at him at the same time.

He continued calmly: "If you quit halfway, you will die!"

Zhao Lexi widened her eyes: There is such a possibility!

Gao Jue said, "I would like to ask, if your father dies, and you, as the eldest grandson, give up the position of clan leader, then will the next clan leader be Zhang Liang?"

"Impossible!" Zhao Lexi denied flatly.

Zhao Shiyun closed his eyes and added: "The person most likely to inherit the position of clan leader is my uncle, Zhao Chuilin."

Zhao Shiyun paused and continued, "This is another clue I haven't figured out. My father died, and my uncle inherited the position of clan leader and is the biggest beneficiary, but I found out that the one who had a relationship with the driver was Zhao Liang, so how did they collude with each other? If they didn't collude, then what was Zhao Liang's purpose in killing my parents? His own identity is flawed, and it is impossible for him to sit on the position of clan leader. His son is ranked according to the family tree, which is possible, but if he wants to send his son to the position of clan leader, we who are ranked ahead must be eliminated, as well as my uncle's family! This is too difficult!"

"I have already made it clear that I will give up the position of clan leader, so his next target should be my uncle. But my uncle has been safe and sound, and I heard that it has basically been decided that he will be the next clan leader. But how can a man like Zhao Liang be willing to make wedding clothes for others?"

"Does your uncle have a son?"

"Yes, he is one year older than Shiduan and his son, and was born in the same year as Zhao Liang's son."

Excluding the possibility of adopting Zhao Liang's son, Gao Jue said: "What if it wasn't Zhao Liang who traded with the driver from the beginning?"

Zhao Shiyun suddenly understood. Yes, Third Grandpa knew about Zhao Liang's pen pal relationship, Zhao Liang's peers also knew about it, and Zhao Chuilin probably knew about it too. Therefore, it was very possible that he pretended to be Zhao Liang and made a deal with the driver.

After all, until now, he had not discovered how the two people reached an agreement.

The two parties in the transaction may be Zhao Liang and the driver.

It could also be Zhao Chuilin and the driver.

Until evidence is found, it could be anyone!
