In the Chu family's living room, the two-meter-high black death knell, like a death reminder, stimulated everyone's vision.
For a while, the strange atmosphere filled, and the room temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
Chu Jingguo's forehead was erected, his facial muscles twitched, he looked straight at the death knell, gritted his teeth and shouted, "This...what the is going on?!"
In his voice, there was a terrible rage.
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 link these two things together.
Suddenly, Chu Jingguo turned his head abruptly, his eyes sharp like a falcon, and asked several couriers: "Who sent you to deliver the goods?"
"This..." One of the couriers hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The gentleman's surname is Chu, probably in his forties, and he claims to be your nephew. Ask us to give you this gift. We don't Know that there is a clock inside!"
After speaking, the couriers quickly walked out of the villa.
Nephew? !
Hearing this, Chu Jingguo was taken aback for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
Suddenly, Chu Jingguo's pupils shrank sharply, his face showed horror, and he couldn't help exclaiming:
"It's him... he's back?!"
As he said, he seemed to be hollowed out, his body swaying for a while, like a candlelight swaying in the wind.
Fortunately, Ye Fan stepped forward to support him in time so that he would not fall.
"Grandpa Chu, do you remember anything? Who is that person?" Ye Fan asked anxiously.
Next to him, Chu Mengyao's pretty face also showed a confused expression, and her heart was even more suspicious.
In terms of seniority, Chu Jingguo's nephew should be her cousin.
But since childhood, she has never heard about this cousin.
There is no such person in the Chu family!
...
For a while, there was silence in the living room.
Seeing that Chu Jingguo remained silent, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Grandpa Chu, the person who gave the death knell and the master behind the attempt to kidnap Mengyao are most likely the same person! If you know anything, please tell me so that we can take precautions!"
"Yes, grandpa, Xiao Fan is right!" Chu Mengyao agreed.
"Hey……"
Chu Jingguo sighed quietly, a very complicated expression appeared on the wrinkled face, and after a while, he said: "I thought that this thing would be rotten in my stomach forever, I didn't expect After so many years, he is back again! What a sin!"
Then, under the narration of Chu Jingguo, Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
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 skill, proficient in eating, drinking, and gamble.
More than 30 years ago, he relied on his identity to show off his power in the Chu group. There were five people and six people. He was surrounded by a group of sluggish doglegs, which made the entire company smoky. He also became obsessed with gambling. Extravagant desire.
Soon, the company's dividends alone were not enough to satisfy Chu Weiguo's life as a drunkard, and the gambling debts owed outside were increasing.
Later, he even colluded with outsiders to secretly embezzle the assets of the Chu group.
But things will happen one day in the East Window.
A few months later, Chu Jingguo noticed something was wrong and used thunder to righteously destroy his relatives, depriving him of all positions in the Chu group, allowing him to assume the most common position, starting from the most basic level.
However, after all, blood is thicker than water.
Chu Jingguo had originally planned to wait a few years for his brother to correct his evil and return to righteousness before promoting him again.
However, not only did Chu Weiguo fail to realize the good intentions, but even moved with evil intentions, secretly spending money to hire assassins, in order to murder his own eldest brother, thus ascending to the throne of the Chu Family Patriarch.
However, at that time, Chu Weiguo happened to know Dong Chuan. With the strength of Dong Chuan's eighth rank martial artist, how could a few ordinary killers be able to provoke him?
After learning that the plan had failed, Chu Weiguo had no face to continue staying in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He fled to the Ao gate of the casino city. He wanted to turn over on the last sum of money. However, he was defeated and was found by the creditors of Suzhou and Hangzhou. The knife stabbed to death.
After Chu Weiguo's death, an orphan and a widow were left behind. His son was Chu Ye, who was already a teenager.
Chu Jingguo originally wanted to take Chu Ye to his own home and raise him as his own son.
However, because of his younger brother's death, his younger siblings hated him so hard that they took their son to leave Suzhou and Hangzhou to settle overseas. Since then, there has been no news.
...
After talking about this past, Chu Jingguo seemed to have exhausted all his strength, sighing, and reproaching himself:
"Hey... it's all my fault. If we didn't condone Weiguo from the beginning, then there would be no such tragedy! It's just that I never expected that after so many years, Xiao Ye would come back to seek revenge for me! "
As he said, Chu Jingguo was already in tears, unable to cry.
Seeing this, Chu Mengyao hurried forward to comfort him: "Grandpa, don't be too sad! You can't be blamed for the death of Uncle Weiguo!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan next to him didn't know what to say.
As the saying goes, it is hard for an upright official to break housework.
As an "outsider", he did not have any qualifications to comment on the grievances between the Chu family.
However, if the opponent dared to extend his magic claws to Chu Mengyao, he would never sit idly by.
Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was Chu Ye who sent the killers and ninjas to kidnap Chu Mengyao, but Chu Ye was most suspected.
But Ye Fan still had deep doubts in his heart.
Ninjas can't be mobilized by any cat or dog. Even in the country of Japan, many ordinary people have never seen a ninja in their entire lives. From this, it can be inferred that Chu Ye's background is absolutely extraordinary.
but--
Dragons have reverse scales, and they will die if they touch them.
For Ye Fan, Chu Mengyao was the biggest inverse scale.
No matter who the enemy is, as long as he dares to hurt Chu Mengyao, he will surely let him die without a place to bury him.
This death knell will ring 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 Erlang's legs tilted up, looking relaxed and comfortable.
He is about 25 or 26 years old. He has fair skin and is clearly a pampered person. He has narrow peach eyes and thick eyebrows slightly raised, but he does not appear frivolous, but a little more handsome, with a straight nose and thin red. The outline of the lips rose slightly, creating a mysterious smile, revealing a noble and elegant temperament invisibly.
Next to him, there are two young and beautiful girls in kimono waiting on their side.
A girl stood behind the sofa and pinched his shoulders, while the other girl leaned on his arms, peeled the grapes, and fed them to him in vermilion lips.
Such days are happier than gods.
And in front of him, a middle-aged man in his early forties stood in jeopardy, looking down at his watch from time to time, looking anxious.
After a while, the middle-aged man couldn't help asking: "Master Mitsui, it's already midnight, why haven't there been any news yet, will something go wrong?"
"Humph!"
Sitting on the sofa, Sho Mitsui let out a cold snort, with an unhappy expression on his face, and said, "Chu Ye, are you questioning the strength of my subordinates?"
"Don't dare! I'm just too nervous!"
The middle-aged man shook his head quickly to explain that he was Chu Ye's nephew, Chu Ye.
At this moment, Sho Mitsui got up from the sofa, walked to him, patted his face humiliatingly with the back of his hand, and said coldly:
"Chu Ye, don't forget your identity. You are just a running dog of our Mitsui family! If you weren't relying on the power of your family, and you are still walking on the streets of Tokyo now, how could you return to China to avenge the Chu family?"
"Master Mitsui, what you taught is!" Chu Ye nodded and bowed quickly, without any spine.
"Deng Deng Deng Deng!"
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.
Then, a ninja in black appeared in the living room.
"Sato, I'm back! Bring that girl to see me!" Mitsui Sho ordered.
As soon as the voice fell, the ninja knelt on one knee and said:
"Master Mitsui, something bad happened! The mission failed and Hattori and the others were wiped out!"
