Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 99. My Despicable Choice

I was hungover and had a splitting headache, so I didn't react for a moment and asked, "Who is your son? What's wrong?"

"Alas, my son is the one who stabbed someone at the bathhouse yesterday. The person's spleen ruptured, which is a serious injury. My son will probably be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. You say this little bastard is not very good, but he is the only one in the family . If he really gets sentenced to more than ten years, what hope do we parents have?"

The middle-aged woman spoke with a Northeastern accent, and I immediately thought of the young man I met at the bathhouse yesterday. Honestly, this outcome was better than I expected. I pressed my aching temple and said, "He punctured someone's spleen. What's the point of you looking for me?"

"Now you're the only one who can help my son. All you need to do is testify and tell the court what you heard about the conversation between the two."

"But I already told the police the whole reason when they took my statement yesterday."

"That won't work. Now that the legal process has begun, I'll have to trouble you to appear in court to testify. Little brother, please help me. As long as you can help testify, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

"It doesn't matter. I'm telling the truth anyway. As for how much the court will believe, it depends on your son's luck."

"I'm grateful to you for being able to do this."

After hanging up the phone, I imitated the woman's tone and said, "What should I do if I have such a troublesome son?"

Just as I was about to get up and get a glass of water, my phone rang again. Thinking it was the same woman again, I answered without even looking at the number. Then, a sinister voice said, "Are you Yu Zhen?"

"Yeah, who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am. I'm asking you, did you hear anything in the bathhouse yesterday?"

"I heard that. Are you also the one who asked me to appear in court?" I asked because I heard that his tone was a little strange.

"Yu Zhen, I know what kind of business you are in. Where do you live? You'd better not get involved in this matter, otherwise I guarantee that your life will be miserable in the future."

I sobered up instantly. Just now, they were begging me to appear in court, but now they were trying to stop me from appearing. So I asked, "Who is the fat guy who was stabbed? Why would he resort to such a nasty trick?"

The man sneered twice and said, "Don't worry about it. Thank you for your help yesterday, and we won't treat you unfairly. As long as you don't care about this matter, we will all be friends in the future. We won't pretend to be ignorant if we can help you. But if you insist on pretending to be nice, don't blame us for turning our backs on you." After that, he hung up the phone.

It seems that this fat guy is a person with a strong background, and his naive attempt to have fun has brought him into big trouble.

I was daydreaming when I heard someone knocking on the door. After putting on my clothes and opening the door, I saw a young man wearing a black T-shirt and with a fierce face. He handed me two boxes in his hands and said, "This is your express delivery." After that, he turned around and left without asking me to sign.

I didn't find it strange. He was paying me hush money and warning me that he really knew my family.

After closing the door, I opened the two boxes and almost got a shock.

One box contained a Rolex mechanical watch. The purchase location indicated on the ticket was a department store, and the price was 120,000 yuan.

Another one is a three-pound pure gold statue of the Chinese zodiac tiger. He even knows that I am a tiger.

This old bastard has done a lot of work behind the scenes. It seems there's no need for me to get involved in this matter. Not only am I taking advantage of him, but I can't afford to offend him either. Why bother causing trouble for my family?

Thinking of this, I hid the two things, feeling a little smug in my heart. It was not bad to get something worth two or three hundred thousand for nothing.

There was nothing to do in the morning, so I packed a few changes of clothes and waited for my uncle to call me. At noon, I was too lazy to make lunch, so I went downstairs to buy a fast food and ate a few bites. Just as I was about to go home, I received a call from the woman. She asked politely, "Little brother, where do you live? I want to see you."

"You're welcome. I won't be home these days."

Perhaps she sensed something was wrong in my words, so she said, "You can't just ignore my old son, little brother. I beg you to help me. Without him, I won't be able to survive."

"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to help you. To tell you the truth, the person your son stabbed is also a very powerful person. He called me a long time ago and warned me that if I meddle in other people's business, they would deal with me. Auntie, it's not that I don't have a sense of justice. I'm just an ordinary person and can't fight these people. Otherwise, you should think of other ways. I really can't help you."

After I heard what I said, there was no sound for a long time on the other end. I called her a few times and when she didn't answer, I hung up.

To be fair, it's not that I lack a sense of justice, otherwise I wouldn't have stepped forward to save the fat man. The key is that the young man was indeed too stupid. He brought a knife with him when taking a bath, and he dared to use the knife to hurt people. It doesn't hurt for a greenhorn like this to suffer a little loss, otherwise something big will happen sooner or later.

Thinking of this, I went home with peace of mind. I waited until the afternoon when my uncle finally called. Chu Sen's car was already waiting for me downstairs. After I got in the car, Chu Sen said with a somewhat sad expression: "I have been kicked out of the house by the old man."

I patted his shoulder and said, "That's great. It saves you from having to guess what I'm thinking for two days."

"Alas, after being a son for more than ten years, the result is a million dollars and an Audi SUV."

"Damn, that's pretty good, what else do you want?"

The uncle said, "A forced melon is not sweet. Things have already come to this. There is no point in saying more. It is better to let it go."

Uncle San also said: "It's better not to have a father like this. In the future, you just need to serve your biological parents well and that will be considered filial piety."

"I'm not after wealth. I've lived with him since I was a child, and I have real feelings for him. I didn't expect that he would treat me like an outsider all these years."

"Don't be so stubborn. Your adoptive father may not be without feelings for you. He does this to pave the way for his biological son and to keep his family business going. Otherwise, sooner or later you two will end up fighting over the family property. It's better for him to be cruel and drive you away now. At least it can be a peaceful solution." said the uncle.

"Maybe. Anyway, I got the money and benefited from it. It's worth it." Chu Sen said with a wry smile.

I advised, "Don't be so resentful, kid. Your godfather raised you from childhood and spent at least several million on you. When they severed ties, not only didn't he ask you for a penny, but he gave you two million instead. I think he's a really kind man."

"You're right, am I really wrong?"

"Whether it's right or wrong, let the past be the past. You are still young. Maybe you will achieve more than your godfather in the future." I said with a smile.

I realized that the direction of this road was not towards Longhua Village. I asked, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to my hometown first . My uncle wants to see the layout of our ancestral tomb."

I suddenly realized, "You've been rich for more than a decade, but you couldn't continue. Is this a problem with the feng shui of your ancestral grave?"

"Generally speaking, this is a problem of the feng shui of the ancestral tomb. Feng shui is actually quite intuitive, but if you don't pay attention to some details, the final results will be very different. Since Chu Sen has been rich for more than ten years, this shows that the feng shui of the ancestral tomb should be good, but there must be some reason why he failed to continue. This must be investigated clearly. Otherwise, losing wealth is a small matter, but you may get into big trouble in the future." said the uncle.

"It's a good opportunity for you to open your eyes. The most important thing in our field of earthwork is Feng Shui. Only by observing Feng Shui can you do good earthwork. But being able to observe is only the basis. You must also find the most suitable spot in a specific area to build a tomb, also called a dragon's lair. This is what the top Feng Shui masters do. If you want to make a name for yourself in your family in the future, learning the most direct method from a Feng Shui master is the best." Uncle San said.

"Uncle San, is Feng Shui difficult?" I asked.

"It's easy to get started. An area with beautiful scenery is naturally a good place, and anyone can see it intuitively. But is this good land suitable for building a Yang house or a Yin house? Where is the best place to build a Yang house? Where is the best place to build a Yin house? This depends on the personal cultivation of the Feng Shui master. As for the strange things that happen after some Yin houses are built, most of these situations are related to Feng Shui. If you can find the problem in these situations, you will be the best Feng Shui master in the world today."

Uncle San was flattering Uncle Yang blatantly, because this trip to Chu Sen's hometown was to solve the feng shui problem of the grave .
