Chapter 652 Continuation
Zhu Wenyu’s voice was not loud, but everyone could clearly hear the excitement in his tone. Chen Yang did not feel happy for Zhu Wenyu when he saw this.
Instead, he immediately went behind Zhu Wenyu and tapped him on the back of the neck.
Zhu Wenyu’s vision went black, and he fainted on the wheelchair.
“Ah! Wenyu!” Zhu Wenyu’s wife immediately ran over. She didn’t understand why Chen Yang had first saved her husband and now was knocking him out.
Zhu Que also looked at Chen Yang strangely.
Chen Yang poured himself a cup of tea and explained, “His emotions are too high right now. It’s not beneficial, but detrimental, to his recovery. I’m just letting him sleep for a while; I’m not hurting him.”
“Zhu Que, come with me.”
After speaking, Chen Yang left the room and went next door.
Zhu Que did not follow immediately. Instead, she briefly gave her aunt some instructions.
“You all go back first. Call me if anything comes up.”
After Zhu Que saw them off, she went to the private room where Chen Yang was.
In Zhu Que’s hand was a document containing information about her mother.
Seeing Zhu Que enter, Chen Yang showed no expression. He sat cross-legged, slowly sipping his tea.
“Aren’t you going to ask me what happened?” Zhu Que felt a bit anxious about Chen Yang’s silence.
Chen Yang smiled and said, “I’m waiting for you to tell me. If you’re willing to say, I’ll certainly listen.”
“If you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine too. You just need to tell me one thing: how can I help you?”
“Zhu Que, you are not only a member of the Heavenly Physician Hall but also a friend I’ve been through life and death with countless times. No matter what happens, I will trust you.”
“Just as you trust me.”
These were Chen Yang’s true feelings. No matter what choice Zhu Que made, Chen Yang would not be dissatisfied.
As a friend, all Chen Yang could do was help her.
Zhu Que sat opposite Chen Yang and handed him the documents with both hands.
“It contains my mother’s handwriting. Based on the age of the notes and the paper, I am certain the signature is my mother’s.”
Chen Yang took the documents with some doubt, read a couple of pages, and gasped.
This Zhu family!
They were truly terrifying!
Not only Zhu Wenyu but also Zhu Que’s father, Zhu Wenwu.
The thoughts of these two men had reached such depths. And for the sake of Zhu Que’s mother and Zhu Que, they were willing to bear a lifetime of infamy.
After reading the documents, Chen Yang slowly closed them and sighed, saying, “So, whether it was Zhu Wenyu’s injury or the subsequent fate of you and your mother, it was all a continuation of the Qin family’s affairs?”
“When your mother gave you the items back then, did she explain anything?”
Zhu Que shook her head bitterly.
“Looking back now, the circumstances of my mother’s death are also full of suspicion. No matter how powerful the Qin family was, they were a major force in the southwest. Not only did they perish overnight, but even my mother, who had left the family and married into the Zhu family, was targeted. All signs indicate that the other party did not get what they wanted.”
“Perhaps, the item is in the inheritance my mother left me.”
Chen Yang was actually hearing for the first time that Zhu Que had an inheritance. He immediately asked, “What did your mother leave you back then?”
Zhu Que had thought about this question for a long time.
She was young at the time, and living alone, her focus was more on financial assets. She had secretly converted all the stocks and commercial shares she could sell into cash.
The only thing she kept and did not touch was the dowry her mother had prepared for her.
After Zhu Que told Chen Yang the general contents, she asked doubtfully, “Could it be in that dowry?”
Hearing this answer, Chen Yang nodded. Zhu Que’s guess was likely correct, and there was a high possibility of it!
After all, if the other party was looking for something like stocks, they wouldn’t have needed to go through the trouble of annihilating the Qin family.
Chen Yang immediately asked, “Where did you hide that dowry you mentioned? You never told me about it before.”
“I didn’t hide them at all because I don’t even know what the so-called dowry consists of…”
As Zhu Que spoke, a scene from the past suddenly flashed through her mind.
Seeing Zhu Que’s change in expression, Chen Yang coughed and said, “Let’s not worry about that for now. Are you still planning to go to the Zhu family? Your father’s condition doesn’t seem to be any better than your uncle’s.”
Back then, Zhu Que’s father, Zhu Wenwu, had resolutely driven Zhu Que and her mother, Qin Yunzhu, away, but he was also injured by a mysterious person. Zhu Wenyu’s legs were crippled.
After examining Zhu Wenyu’s injuries today, coupled with the information Chen Yang had received earlier, it was likely that Zhu Wenwu was truly running out of time.
Zhu Que was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Yang with some nervousness. “Can you come with me? I’m afraid by myself.”
Zhu Que didn’t know how to face her father after so many years without seeing him, and after resenting him day and night in her heart. Zhu Que truly didn’t know how she would react when she saw her father.
“I will naturally stay by your side.”
Just as Chen Yang and Zhu Que were discussing their next move at the tea house, Zhu Wenyu had already woken up and returned to the Zhu family.
As soon as Zhu Wenyu returned to his courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man with white hair waiting for him.
“Elder Brother!” Zhu Wenyu looked at the elder brother in front of him, feeling a bit strange. He should have been in the specially made ice cellar in the back mountains of the Zhu family to suppress his injuries. Why had he come out, and why to this place?
Could it be…
The person waiting in Zhu Wenyu’s courtyard was Zhu family’s eldest son from the previous generation, Zhu Que’s father, Zhu Wenwu.
Zhu Wenwu was not old, but due to his injuries, his white hair made him look even older than the Zhu family patriarch.
Seeing Zhu Wenyu, Zhu Wenwu’s face turned ashen and he said, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Where is Que’er now?”
Ever since he personally drove Que’er and her mother out of the family that year, Zhu Wenwu had never seen the mother and daughter again.
Zhu Wenyu had promised to take care of them, but the news Zhu Wenwu received later was increasingly unbearable.
Que’er’s mother died in a small village in the outer city. Since then, Que’er had disappeared without a trace.
Over the years, Zhu Wenwu had thought of them constantly.
Now that Que’er had returned, Zhu Wenyu hadn’t even sent him a word. Angered, Zhu Wenwu had directly run out of the ice cellar.
Even though he knew he wouldn’t live long after coming out, Zhu Wenwu wanted to see his daughter again.
