Home/ The White-eyed Wolves I Personally Raised Are All Coveting My Legacy/ Chapter 29
So this person regretted it after he acted so ruthless?
Everyone present felt a bit incredulous. After all, how neatly Yu Zheng dealt with Si Yang is one of the most talked about things in the circle back then. Even the old foxes in the business circle were full of praise towards Yu Zheng.
Back then, Yu Zheng not only pretended that Si Yang wasn’t dead, but he also deceived all of them. After all, at that time, the Yu Group had just changed hands, and was in its most vulnerable phase.
However, Yu Zheng relied on the strength of a dead man to perform a play and stabilized the Yu Group. It wasn’t until a year later that he completely gained power and was able to sit firmly at the negotiating table with those old foxes. Everything was on the right track, but there was still no news about Si Yang. Only then did everyone realize that Si Yang was really dead, and everything was done by Yu Zheng himself.
Two years ago, Yu Zheng didn’t even attend Si Yang’s funeral, which was held in a desolate place casually, he didn’t shed even a single tear. As everyone knew, Yu Zheng hated Si Yang to the bone, but seeing Yu Zheng’s appearance right now, he seems to be regretting it?
The only one who really knew something about it was Gu Quan. He stared at Yu Zheng for a while, and his face suddenly became ugly.
“What’s going on?” Shi Ershao saw that something was wrong and pulled Gu Quan’s hand.
Gu Quan swallowed his saliva, and said with a pale face, “He’s not acting, Yu Zheng may have really thought that Si Yang was still alive.”
“What?” Shi Ershao couldn’t help but laugh, “Gu Quan, don’t make me laugh, this is not a joke.”
While supporting Yu Zheng, he took out his cell phone and glanced at the calendar, “It’s not April Fool’s day, is it? Are you guys playing a prank on us?”
“No.” Gu Quan shook his head vigorously, “It’s true. Two years ago, when I went to look for him one day, he was looking for Si Yang’s whereabouts. At that time, there were six other people who were also searching for people with him. He told me that Si Yang must not be dead.”
“But the six people who were looking for Si Yang back then were investigated later by someone in the circle, and they were simply confused! The one who issued the order at that time was someone from the Yu family. Tell me clearly, wasn’t he acting at that time?” Shi Ershao’s expression also became ugly.
The rest of the people around also heard this and stared at Yu Zheng, as if wanting to see if he was pretending right now.
Gu Quan was really anxious, “It wasn’t Yu Zheng, it’s really not. I don’t know how the order came from within the Yu family, but it was definitely not Yu Zheng.”
“In the past two years, he has been constantly looking for Si Yang. At the nursing home in the suburbs, he raised a whole yard of canaries. The wards were turned into all kinds of bird cages, and he said he was waiting for Si Yang to come back.”
“…”
“Later, at the beginning of this year, he changed his mind again and asked people to put away the birds and plants, turning the wards into ordinary bedrooms. He also invited several experts who specialize in treating lung disease, saying that it’s probably because Si Yang’s health hadn’t improved that he didn’t come back yet. He said that when he finds Si Yang this time, he must be careful, and once Si Yang’s illness is cured, he will settle accounts with him.”
“Damn it, doesn’t that sound too ruthless?” someone muttered to themselves.
Shi Ershao quickly interrupted, “Don’t speculate about it blindly. Yu Zheng is young, and no one can say for sure what happened.”
“That’s right, after all, Si Yang is Yu Zheng’s only relative, or maybe…” The other party pondered for a long time, but couldn’t find a suitable adjective, and finally had to skip the topic, “But then who was the person who issued the command to look for Si Yang?”
“Most likely it was Xu Lin, who was once Si Yang’s confidant. If it wasn’t Yu Zheng who made the assumption that Si Yang feigned death, then it must have been arranged by Si Yang himself before he died. This kind of scheming and calculation, who could it be besides Si Yang?” Shi Ershao was a smart person, and he understood the rest of the matter in just a few seconds.
But then he looked at Yu Zheng and became frightened, “However, there must be something wrong. Did Si Yang go crazy for doing such a thing? What the hell was he thinking? Don’t forget how he treated Yu Zheng back then. That’s right, he used to beat and scold Yu Zheng at every turn, like a mother raising a child…”
But as he spoke, Shi Ershao also felt that something was wrong. How did Si Yang treat Yu Zheng back then?
At that time, what Yu Zheng did was no different from him seeking his own death, but Si Yang was so anxious that he turned the whole Nancheng Garden upside down without touching Yu Zheng at all. In the end, the reason why Yu Zheng was able to successfully seize power was because Si Yang took the initiative to bring him into the company.
So why would he do this? What did he really want?
Shi Ershao couldn’t figure it out until the end, he just felt that everything felt so deep and foggy. And Yu Zheng also drank too much. After crying, he just sat there leaning against the sofa without saying a word, looking lifeless.
Gu Quan and Shi Ershao had no choice but to leave and take him home first. But when they got to the door of the apartment, Yu Zheng refused to go in.
“This… this is not my home.”
“My ancestor, it’s really here. I beg you, it’s been a whole night full of trouble, let’s go in!”
“I want to find my brother.” Yu Zheng spoke as he pulled Shi Ershao’s sleeve, his eye turning red again.
Yu Zheng was originally gentle and handsome, and Si Yang made great efforts to raise him when he brought him back at the beginning. Even now, his every gesture, including his tone of speech is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
When Shi Ershao saw it, his heart flipped completely, thinking that it was such a tragic fate. Si Yang died, but Yu Zheng went crazy.
In the end, he had no choice but to send him to the Yu family’s old house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard of the old house, Yu Zheng stopped making trouble. He even took the initiative to take the hangover medicine, saying that he wanted to dissipate the alcohol.
“Brother Si Yang, I don’t like this.” He smiled faintly and touched his pocket, taking out the mobile phone.
Yu Zheng typed a familiar string of numbers in the phone and sent a text message.
“Brother, I’m back.” Then he steadily walked forward, looking completely different from his previous drunk appearance.
Both Gu Quan and Shi Ershao were confused by his behavior, so they could only go up and knock on the door.
The old butler opened the door, and was stunned when he saw Yu Zheng drunk. After inquiring a bit, he finally sighed as he led Yu Zheng upstairs to wash up and change his clothes.
Gu Quan was worried that Yu Zheng would make a fuss in his drunk state, so he stayed behind. But Yu Zheng was surprisingly obedient, eating whatever was offered to him, and changing clothes when he was asked to. Finally, he took the initiative to go to bed and lie down.
“Young Master, there is warm water on the bedside, you can drink it at night if you feel thirsty.”
“Hmm.” Yu Zheng nodded, and then asked casually, “Will brother come back tomorrow?”
“…” The old butler’s hand tucking the quilt suddenly stopped.
Seeing him not moving, Yu Zheng suddenly reached out and grabbed the old butler’s sleeve, asking seriously again, “Will brother come back tomorrow?”
When Yu Zheng was first brought back home, he used to ask this question with the exact same expression on his face. If the old butler answered ‘no’, he would remain silent for a while, and then say, “Then let Brother Si Yang pay more attention to rest and not get sick.” But once the old butler answered ‘yes’, Yu Zheng would immediately show a very satisfied smile, and then he would ask the old butler to wake him up early so that he could have breakfast with Si Yang.
But now… the old butler’s eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn’t speak a word as his throat choked up when he looked at Yu Zheng’s eyes.
It wasn’t until several seconds later that he patted Yu Zheng’s shoulder and said, “Eldest Young Master won’t come back tomorrow. You can go to bed first, Young Master.”
“Hmm.” After hearing Yu Zheng respond in a low voice, the old butler continued to help him tuck the quilt.
But unexpectedly, he discovered that the pillow Yu Zheng was resting on became wet at some point.
He wanted to comfort him, but in the end he had nothing to say. He could only sigh and leave the room.
The next day, the sun rose high, but Yu Zheng never came downstairs, and he also didn’t answer the secretary’s phone call. In the end, the old butler knocked on the door and entered the room, only to find Yu Zheng sitting on the bed holding the quilt in a daze.
“Young master, are you awake?”
Yu Zheng turned his head to look at him, his eyes a bit confused.
The old butler sighed, “Young Master, Xu Lin has been looking for you. There is a meeting this morning that you need to attend, but it can be postponed. He asked if you still want to go today?”
“Hmm, I’ll go.” Yu Zheng nodded, “My phone is out of battery, you can tell him. I’ll go after I change my clothes.”
The old butler agreed and turned to leave, but just as he was about to walk out of the door, Yu Zheng suddenly stopped him.
“Uncle Yang.”
“Um?”
After hesitating for a while, Yu Zheng finally asked a question, “Si Yang… did Si Yang say anything before he left?”
“…” The old butler shook his head, “I don’t know, when I went to look for him, the Eldest Young Master had already left.”
“Hmm. Okay, I see.” Yu Zheng responded as he walked out, but as he left the bedroom, his originally rosy face suddenly turned pale.
An hour later, Yu Zheng arrived at the company. At first glance, the secretary felt that the situation was not very good.
However, Yu Zheng’s performance was far better than he imagined.
As the president, he keenly pointed out the blind spots in the work of various departments, accurately directing everyone’s focus towards the key points.
However, the more this happened, the more the secretary felt that something was wrong. He privately asked the confidants who helped Yu Zheng investigate Si Yang’s matter, and learned that Yu Zheng hadn’t read all the information.
Instead, after confirming the news of Si Yang’s death, he stopped investigating. So logically, he shouldn’t know all the truth.
But if he didn’t know, why did he look so sad and desolate?
The only possibility is that with Yu Zheng’s intelligence, he has already guessed it. Even without seeing those specific details, he still guessed everything.
The secretary breathed heavily and suddenly felt very scared. Yu Zheng already looked so sad after guessing, then once he really saw the truth…
He subconsciously walked towards Yu Zheng’s office, wanting to calm down and talk to him. But he suddenly bumped into a new secretary.
The girl’s eyes were red, as if she was about to cry, and when she saw Xu Lin, she grabbed his arm.
“Young Master Yu….. there’s something wrong with Young Master Yu. Just now I accidentally knocked out a folder on his desk, and after he picked it up, he suddenly stopped talking.”
“What kind of folder?”
“It’s very thick, and the cover seems to say ‘Si Yang’?”
“……” It’s not good! The secretary quickly walked toward Yu Zheng’s office and pushed open the door. Sure enough, Yu Zheng was staring at a photo in a daze.
That’s a photo of Si Yang when he was a child. In the photo, ten year old Si Yang has wounds all over his body. Except for his relatively intact face, his whole body seems to be broken, dripping with blood.
“Young master, what are you looking at? Put it away quickly.” The secretary wanted to take it away, but was stopped by Yu Zheng.
“Si Yang… Si Yang lied to me.” He heard Yu Zheng muttering in a low voice.
“He lied to me in front of my parents…”
“It wasn’t that he lost me, but we were both taken away together. On the way, he took so many beatings trying to protect me. Eventually, the traffickers thought he was going to die, so they threw him in a dilapidated cave and left.”
“I remember… I remember it all.” Yu Zheng slowly stroked the face of Si Yang’s tightly closed eyes in the photo, so numb that he couldn’t even shed any tears.
