Chapter 129 You guys are too cruel

Tan Haoyu then contacted the airport to inquire.

It was finally confirmed that Zhu Ziqing had taken a flight to the capital, and that the two elders of the Zhu family had also returned with her.

"Something's not right. The Zhu family and Wan Qingsha, there must be some shady cooperation or conspiracy behind them." Tan Haoyu muttered to himself with a cold look in his eyes.

He wasn't one to sit idly by and wait for his fate; after a moment's thought...

Therefore, he immediately decided to take action and directly use his identity as Jack Tan to meet Wan Qingsha.

He quickly dialed the number of the person in charge of Sunshine Group in the capital, his voice cold and unyielding: "This is Jack Tan. You need to arrange a meeting with Wan Qingsha for me right now. Tell him I have something important to discuss and that he must come."

The person in charge naturally dared not neglect the task and quickly agreed.

After Tan Haoyu got off the plane, he quickly received a message: he had successfully contacted Wan Qingsha, who had agreed to meet him.

As Tan Haoyu walked quickly outside, he rapidly formulated a plan in his mind.

He knew that if he rushed to the Zhu family now, it would most likely be too late to stop Wan Qingsha's possible actions.

"Hmph, but it doesn't matter. I'll use Jack Tan's identity and see if he dares to mess around again." Tan Haoyu's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he secretly vowed to protect Zhu Ziqing.

Thinking of Zhu Shigou's actions, Tan Haoyu clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger: "Zhu Shigou, how dare you treat Ziqing and her daughter like this! Once this matter is settled, I will make you pay the price!"

But he quickly calmed down. Zhu Ziqing's safety was the top priority right now, and he had to be patient.

On the other hand, Wan Qingsha was filled with doubt when she received the invitation from Sunshine Group.

When he was in Shenzhen, he tried everything but couldn't see the mysterious Jack Tan. How come the other party came to him on his own initiative as soon as he returned to the capital?

He stroked his chin, secretly wondering, "Could it be that this Jack Tan is interested in Zhu Ziqing? Is that why he left Pengcheng and followed her all the way to the capital?"

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on his lips. "If that's the case, having him arrange a meeting with Zhu Ziqing through me wouldn't be a bad choice. That way, even if something happens, I can pretend I don't know anything about it."

A shrewd glint flashed in Wan Qingsha's eyes. He didn't care how long Jack Tan's interest in Zhu Ziqing would last.

He had only one thing on his mind – whether he could successfully cooperate with the Sunshine Group.

"As long as I can get in touch with the Sunshine Group, the shareholders of the Wan family will definitely look at me differently. Then, I will be able to truly take over the management of the Wan family."

Wan Qingsha was ambitious, though she still harbored a lingering affection for Zhu Ziqing.

But faced with the choice between power and profit, he did not hesitate to choose to cooperate with the Sunshine Group.

……

In the affluent district of the capital, where extravagance reigns supreme, skyscrapers stand side by side and luxurious mansions abound.

However, the Zhu family only owned a small two-story villa, which looked particularly small and shabby among the mansions.

Compared to the magnificent mansion of the Wan family not far away, it was nothing but a drop in the ocean.

No one could understand why Zhu Shigou chose such a place.

Zhu Shigou, however, had his own plans. He often muttered to himself as he looked at the small villa: "This location is a feng shui treasure in the capital. As long as we take root here, we will be able to elevate the status of my Zhu family sooner or later."

Zhu Ziqing was extremely anxious and impulsive, and returned to the Zhu family she had been away from for so long, with one mind focused on finding her mother.

She was like a headless fly, bumping around aimlessly inside and outside the house.

They searched every room and every corner, but still found nothing.

Zhu Ziqing's heart pounded wildly. She gradually realized that Zhu Shigou, that old fox, must have known all along that she would come back.

They might have already moved their mother to another place, and never intended for her to see her again.

Just as Zhu Ziqing was filled with despair and pacing back and forth in the courtyard, a familiar silver light suddenly caught her eye.

Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a platinum ring.

That was the one she had painstakingly saved up to buy for her mother back then.

The inside of the ring still bears the marks left by her mother wearing it for many years without ever taking it off.

But now, it lies all alone in the grass.

Zhu Ziqing picked up the ring with trembling hands. Just then, she caught a glimpse of a glaring dark red stain on the ring—blood!

Her heart clenched instantly, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind. What had happened to her mother?

"Ziqing, look who's here!" Zhu Shigou's fawning voice suddenly rang out, breaking the deathly silence in the courtyard.

Zhu Ziqing looked up and saw Zhu Shigou leading Wan Qingsha striding towards her.

The moment Wan Qingsha saw Zhu Ziqing, her face immediately plastered with a fawning smile.

He took a few steps forward and said softly, "Ziqing, come with me, I'll take you to see someone."

Zhu Ziqing had no time to pay attention to him at the moment; she glared angrily at Zhu Shigou.

He demanded sharply, "Where's my mother? Where did you hide her?"

Zhu Shigou's eyes darted away for a moment before he replied perfunctorily, "If you go with Wan Qingsha to see someone, you'll naturally be able to see your mother."

"Don't try to fool me!" Zhu Ziqing roared.

Just then, Uncle Zhong, an old servant with gray hair who had worked for the Zhu family for many years, slowly walked out from the corner.

His hands trembled slightly, as if he had mustered up a great deal of courage, and he said loudly, "Miss, don't be fooled, Madam... Madam jumped from the third floor and died on the spot. Her body has already been sent to the funeral home."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shigou's face instantly turned ashen, and he angrily shouted, "Uncle Zhong, what nonsense are you spouting! Shut up!"

Zhongbo, however, seemed to have made up his mind. He straightened his neck and showed no fear: "I have worked for the Zhu family for so many years and have seen the suffering that Madam has endured. Today I must tell the truth, and I am not afraid of any consequences."

Zhu Ziqing felt a buzzing in her head, as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

Shock, anger, grief... a torrent of emotions overwhelmed her in an instant.

Her body swayed a few times, and she almost lost her balance.

His eyes instantly reddened, tears streaming down his face, and he screamed, "Zhu Shigou...you...how dare you treat my mother like this!!!"

Zhu Ziqing felt a buzzing in her head, as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and she was completely stunned.

Zhongbo's sorrowful words kept echoing in my ears: "Madam... she jumped from the third floor and is dead. Her body has been sent to the funeral home."

Sadness, like a surging tide, instantly overwhelmed her.

Zhu Ziqing swayed a few times, almost losing her balance.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Only one voice echoed wildly in my mind: "You people are so cruel!"
