    Chapter 74 Macbeth (15)

    "My mother married Zhou Junmao when she was pregnant with me. I am her and ex-husband's son. Of course, they only said it was a 'premature birth'," Zhou Huaijin smiled bitterly. Enthusiasm for public welfare, and patriotism - it's just a standard template for high morality, Mr. Fei, don't you think so too?"

    Fei Du raised his eyes in surprise.

    "Oh, I heard that Mr. Fei has been living alone since he was widowed," Zhou Huaijin clearly misunderstood the reason for his surprise, and spread his hands slightly mockingly, "Why, is this kind of thing difficult for you to understand?"

    Fei Du asked softly, "So you've done a paternity test?"

    Zhou Huaijin shrugged: "What good is there to do? I knew from a young age that I was not biological, and Zhou Junmao would never make a mistake. If he is not sure, he should have done it. I have no illusions about him, and Huai Xin is serious about him. My only son, he has been indifferent for so many years, not to mention me - not afraid of your jokes, he did not poison me, it is already the result of a multi-party game."

    Fei Du's hands were still trembling uncontrollably, so he had to use a little force to grab the cold mineral water bottle, and at the same time gave Zhou Huaijin a thoughtful look - although Zhou Huaijin looked very young, according to the registration Judging from his ID card, he was thirty-eight years old.

    Zhou Huaijin probably didn't know very well. Thirty-seven or eight years ago, the technology of paternity testing had not been implemented.

    "You are implying that Zhou Junmao is a person," Fei Du thought about his words, "will use some improper means?"

    "Otherwise, how do you think my biological father died? Did he really die of a heart attack?" Zhou Huaijin said coldly, "His right-hand man, Zheng Kaifeng, was born in a local ruffian and gangsters.

    "How did you know?"

    "My mother told me when she was dying that when she was young, she was dissatisfied with my biological father's control and some...not so easy to accept hobbies, and she was reluctant to divorce. , conspired with them to do that thing. But does the husband and wife also want to last forever?" The gentle and jade-like Zhou Huaijin revealed the sharpness he had hidden under his skin for decades, "That's too funny. It didn't take long for her to It was found that this man was even more than the previous scumbag, and it happened to have me. Zhou Junmao always thought that she had evidence that they murdered Zhou Yahou, because of this—and the group equity in her hands , he kept pinching his nose and pretending I didn't exist."

    The suspicion in Fei Du's heart grew stronger and stronger: "Think?"

    "My mother has a secret safe in a private bank that no one can open except herself and her designated heir. The key was what she used to contain Zhou Junmao, and it came to me later," Zhou Huaijin said. He sighed, "Now that Zhou Junmao is dead anyway, I can tell the truth - there is actually only one box of expired cardiac emergency medicine in the safe. Otherwise, I would have ruined his reputation long ago, and I still need to be aggrieved like now. Quing the ground to make a fool of a snake?"

    "You said you were Zhou Yahou's son," Fei Du asked slowly, "does anyone know about this?"

    "Zhou Dalong's surface is benevolent, righteous and moral, but he has been an eagle all his life. How can he let others know the color of his head? Except for Zheng Kaifeng, others should be kept in the dark. Looking up at the light in the operating room, he paused and said with difficulty, "Huaixin has been more sensitive than other children since he was a child. I think he should have guessed it, but he didn't say it. This child... this child is my opinion. I grew up. My mother was tortured by that murder all her life. When she was born with faith, she was very old. Postpartum depression aggravated her spiritual problems, and she had no time to take care of him. In the Zhou family, except for my mother's stupidity The murderer, he is the only one who is related to me by blood, he is so small and innocent, although the blood of that person is flowing in his body... But he is only me, and I only have him."

    This is a pair of brothers who grew up in a twisted family, rightfully hated each other for a reason, and were forced to depend on each other for a long time.

    Zhou Huaixin put his hands together and placed it on his forehead: "If there is retribution, why would it fall on him?"

    Fei Du knew that according to the social etiquette at this time, he should reach out and pat Zhou Huaijin's shoulder with red eyes to comfort him, but his heart was filled with apathy and boredom. this hand.

    He tilted his head to look at Zhou Huaijin, and then asked in a flat tone: "You just said that Huai Xin is the 'only child' of the old man - so, you already know that Yang Bo and Zhou Junmao are not related by blood?"

    "Have you checked the parent-child relationship between Yang Bo and Zhou Junmao? The domestic police are quite quick." Zhou Huaijin blinked a few times, trying to calm down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yang Bo is... very shallow, with great ambition and talent. I follow Zheng Kaifeng's ass every day, claiming to be Zheng Kaifeng's student, but in fact he has only learned superficial skills. Such a person has neither qualification nor ability, and his background and education are lacking. Why is he promoted to that position at such a young age? ? Naturally someone guessed, so there were rumors of an 'illegitimate child'."

    "This rumor was widely spread, but neither Zhou Junmao himself nor Yang Bo's backer Zheng Kaifeng came forward to clarify it. Over time, that kid may really think he is the 'Prince of the Pearl'." Zhou Huaijin pinched the mineral water bottle. , shook his head, "He quietly collected Zhou Junmao's and his own DNA, and privately found an informal paternity testing agency... Even this is sneaky. Some people really can't get on the table from their bones."

    Fei Du followed his voice and asked, "You found out that he secretly asked someone to do the appraisal."

    "I know the person in charge of the black workshop, so he's a golfer," Zhou Huaijin said, "a typical 'white trash', a liar, he knows many people's secrets, he looks like a gourd with a saw mouth, what? You can be conservative, in fact, it’s much easier in private, it depends on whether you can pay his price or not.”

    "He told you about it—"

    "It should be said that he gave me this thing for free," Zhou Huaijin said. "I paid for another service, and I asked him to replace the sample of Huaixin."

    Yang Bo, a poor boy with nothing, was inexplicably appreciated by the big boss. Most of his heart was proud and grateful, and he might even be a little frightened. He must have been conscientiously following the man who had the grace of knowing and meeting. Every day, he was trying his best to let himself It doesn't look so mediocre, and maybe he will regard the old man whose life is full of legends as his idol of struggle.

    But what if one day, he finds out that he got all this just because he is the legitimate heir of an "idol"?

    At first, he must have been shocked and hated because it meant his mother betrayed his father and family, and his life idol betrayed his trust.

    But this person may be cowardly and despicable by nature, and this unrelenting hatred did not last long, and he would soon have some strange thoughts - it turned out that he was also born with a golden spoon, It can be on an equal footing with those "young talents" who rely on their parents.

    Zhou Huaijin, Zhou Huaixin, and their arrogant friends, what qualifications do they have to look down on him?

    Why doesn't Zhou Junmao want to recognize him?

    He is Zhou Junmao's son, and Zheng Lao's hard-core direct line. Everyone knows that Zheng Lao and Zhou's eldest son have a tense relationship. The son of the same father, why can he only work with wages and not get a share of this huge family business?

    Or to put it another way——Can't the Zhou family belong to him?

    "It turned out to be you," Fei Du whispered, "'he will defy fate, spurn death and life, transcend all clearing, discard all doubts, and cling to his impossible hope.'"

    Zhou Huaijin closed his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he continued with the next sentence: "'You all know that self-confidence is the greatest enemy of mankind.'" (Note)

    "Goddess Hecate," Fei Du looked at him with a slight sarcasm, "you spent a lot of supernatural powers to make Yang Bo think that you are the illegitimate son of the Zhou family and give him infinite hope. What is the purpose?"

    "Yang Bo is Zheng Kaifeng's person," Zhou Huaijin said, "I don't know why Zheng Kaifeng values ​​him, but that old man really takes this kid as a confidant. When Yang Bo was promoted back then, it was Zheng Li's opinion, even Zhou Dalong had a slight criticism— —Although he accepted it later. This is a game. I am weak and weak, and I can only try to disintegrate the alliance between my opponents. I need to provoke Yang Bo’s ambition and use him to chafe between Zhou Junmao and Zheng Kaifeng. Thorn, I'm going to make them all pay."

    Fei Du looked at him lightly.

    "It's true, at this point, I really don't need to lie to you," Zhou Huaijin squeezed the bridge of his nose, "Mr. Fei, even if my methods are not bright, I didn't use the criminal methods of murder and arson.

    revenge

    , you can morally condemn me, but you have to admit, I'm not wrong to do so. "

    "Mr. Zhou," Fei Du said slowly, "whether you should be reprimanded or should you pay the price, I said it doesn't count. First of all, it depends on you, consuming the police force and making such a big farce. How to define it depends on the investigation results of Zhou Junmao's car accident case."

    "I didn't expect Zhou Junmao to die in an accidental car accident. In the script I arranged, the person in charge of the paternity testing agency should have told Yang Bo the result, and I got this thing by 'coincidence'. When I ran to Yang Bo to ask a teacher to ask for his guilt, I would first anger him, and then angrily asserted to him, 'Dad won't recognize you'. I know Yang Bo, a very superficial person. Under this kind of impact, it is easy for him to say nothing. , If I'm lucky, I can get some recordings that I can use in the future. At the same time, Yang Bo is stimulated, and he is likely to hold back his strength and want to slap me in the face with the fact of 'recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors'. Follow-up arrangements - but you can see now, Zhou Junmao's death is too untimely, my plan just died at the beginning."

    "After you heard the news of Zhou Junmao's death, you immediately realized that although your plan was disrupted, it was also an opportunity, so you implied that Zhou Huaixin called the police, attracted the attention of the police and the public, and introduced Yang Bo as a shield. Then, taking advantage of the aftermath of the car accident, he directed and acted a good show, making Zhou Junmao's death even more confusing. He first blamed Yang Bo, and then used the public welfare fund to guide the police to investigate Zheng Kaifeng. Destroy the two enemies and at the same time use public opinion to fan the flames, completely ruining Zhou Junmao—"

    Zhou Huaijin's throat moved, without explanation, it was a tacit consent.

    Fei Du: "Aren't you afraid that the Zhou family will fall into disrepair from now on, and it will be a mess in your hands?"

    "The current Zhou family is Zhou Junmao's 'Zhou'," Zhou Huaijin said in a low voice, "connected with his reputation and bloodline before and after his death, and also a part of him, I want to smash his golden statue, as for the other... no Are they all external things? Mr. Fei, if you also have a thorn in your heart that has been in your heart since childhood, would you not dare to pull it out because you are afraid that you will lose your wealth? Money, material... For people like us, there are It’s really not that attractive at the time.”

    When Fei Du heard the words "thorn in the heart", his fingers subconsciously tightened a little bit, and he almost squeezed the bottle of mineral water in. At this moment, a few medical staff flew all the way from them carrying the blood they called. He ran over in front of him and rushed to the operating room, the footsteps seemed to contain an ominous rhythm.

    Zhou Huaijin stood up abruptly: "Doctor, my brother he..."

    The Zhou family is the big sponsor of Heng'ai Hospital. A nurse-like staff member said euphemistically: "Don't worry, we will do our best to rescue."

    Zhou Huaijin heard the other party's implication and stumbled.

    Fei Du propped up his elbow: "Mr. Zhou, is Huai Xin an external thing to you?"

    Zhou Huaijin's expression changed suddenly as if his tail had been stepped on. Fei Du refused to let him go: "When you and your dog-legged Hu Zhenyu sang together, he had already discovered something, but he didn't say anything, and he cooperated with you to continue the play, you know what he said to Hu Zhenyu. what?"

    "I do not……"

    "He said he doesn't understand your business, he just wants you to be safe," Fei Du pressed his voice fast and hard, like a short, sharp dagger, and poked it into Zhou Huaijin's ear, "I'll deceive him afterwards. When talking, he even wanted to recognize the culprit of 'kidnapping' for you. Mr. Zhou, I have a question for you. From just now to now, you have told me a story about the prince's revenge with cause and effect. , why didn't you mention the woman with the knife at all, as if you knew why she was so mad. Could you tell me—"

    The door of the operating room opened from the inside, suddenly interrupting Fei Du's voice.

    The wall clock on the hospital wall seemed to stop for a while, and Zhou Huaijin looked at the doctor who came out of it in panic. At the same time, Fei Du’s cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at it. Luo Wenzhou sent him a concise message—“Dong Xiaoqing is dead.”

    Fei Du was stunned for a moment, and immediately let go of Zhou Huaijin, his first reaction was to dial the phone back: "How are you?"

    There was a lot of noise over Luo Wenzhou, and before Fei Du could say a word, Zhou Huaijin in front of Fei Du had already knelt on the ground with a thud. He heard the doctor say, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, we really..."
