Chapter 2080: Trying to Set Another Trap for Me?

When the lawyer was found, the lawyer died.

No wonder Yu Shihua never dared to testify openly, only secretly revealing this matter.

Du Zhaohui gave a cold laugh.

Looking at it this way, Yu Shihua did show some genuine care for him.

Let’s consider it sincere for now.

After all, she even told him the big secret about the old man being unable to have more children.

Du Zhaohui was now 90% certain about the 20% shares matter. As for the secret about the old man being unable to have more children, he was 100% sure it was true. Otherwise, Xia Ziyu wouldn’t have fallen into his trap so quickly.

It must be that Xia Ziyu had tried for a long time without getting pregnant, which made her anxious.

And anxiety leads to foolish moves.

Thinking about Xia Ziyu’s stupid actions, Du Zhaohui gradually calmed down.

If he could see clearly that Xia Ziyu had done something stupid, why should he act impulsively?

Not only could he not confront the old man about the lawyer’s death, but he had to pretend nothing had happened!

Although the lawyer’s death indicated that the old man knew everything, as long as they didn’t tear away that thin veil, they could continue their performance of filial piety and fatherly love.

Du Zhaohui had indeed matured significantly over these two years. After tearing up the plane ticket, he quickly adjusted his mindset:

“Ah Hua, let’s return to the company!”

Ah Hua was very worried, “Young Master, you—”

Would Young Master take a knife to slash Chairman Du?

Ah Hua could understand Young Master’s feelings well. Having Chairman Du as a father was too distressing—it was simply bullying!

Du Zhaohui glanced at him sideways, “What, worried I’ll go kill someone? Ah Hua, you think too poorly of me. I am such a kind and filial son. Think about my caring Fourth Mother, pregnant with my brother or sister, yet unable to return to the Du family mansion. Those Hong Kong media think Fourth Mother has fallen out of favor… Sigh, I must persuade Father to allow Fourth Mother to move back to the mansion.”

Ah Hua was speechless.

This was the difference between him and Young Master.

Young Master could make such a shameless act sound like filial piety—truly impressive!

This would throw the Du family into chaos.

Ah Hua tensed up, realizing Young Master truly didn’t want peace anymore.

However, Du Zhaohui couldn’t make it back to the company smoothly. Halfway there, he was intercepted by someone he didn’t particularly like – Chai Hai, Xu Zhongyi’s trusted aide!

“Young Master Du, Master Qiu would like to meet with you…”

Du Zhaohui spoke sarcastically, “Your Master Qiu is really strange. Instead of being content as a wealthy man on the mainland, he can’t let go of Hong Kong’s antique business. Making too much money can be dangerous – be careful not to get too greedy!”

Chai Hai kept his eyes lowered: “This humble one thanks Young Master Du for his concern on Master Qiu’s behalf. However, Master Qiu truly wishes to meet Young Master Du. When Young Master Du needed help, you came to us repeatedly. Now that Master Qiu can no longer be of help, Young Master Du just—”

Du Zhaohui wore an expression as if he’d seen a ghost.

Was this Chai Hai?

He knew very well that this “Manager Chai” by Xu Zhongyi’s side looked down on him. Damn it, just an antique dealer who thought himself a cultured person, how dare he look down on him!

However today, Chai Hai was unusually submissive and respectful.

Du Zhaohui waved his hand, “Fine, lead the way. Let’s meet then.”

He wasn’t interested in meeting an antique dealer, knowing that ‘Master Qiu’ was Xu Zhongyi. That shameless Xu Zhongyi had always been close to Xia Xiaolan, and last time he had dug a pit that made him willingly jump in. This time, it might be the same trick.

But even knowing this, Du Zhaohui was very curious.

He could certainly avoid falling into Xu Zhongyi’s trap, but with Zhou Cheng mysteriously appearing around Hong Kong lately, if he didn’t take the bait, would Xu Zhongyi seek out Zhou instead?

Better not to give Zhou any opportunity to shine.

Du Zhaohui changed course, following Chai Hai as they drove away from the city center. The car headed toward the countryside, so remote it gave Du Zhaohui goosebumps. Halfway there, he rolled down his window and called out to Chai Hai’s car in front:

“Manager Chai, have you dug a grave in the suburbs, waiting to bury me alive?”

Chai Hai wanted to smash Du Zhaohui’s dog head, but again suppressed his anger:

“Young Master Du is joking. Could it be that Young Master is afraid?”

“Me, afraid? Even if I lay in the pit, I’d be worried that a loser like you wouldn’t dare to shovel dirt over me!”

Du Zhaohui snorted and rolled up his window.

Chai Hai brought Du Zhaohui to Xu Zhongyi’s village house far from the city. All along the way, Du Zhaohui had been wondering what Xu Zhongyi wanted from him, but he couldn’t guess. When they arrived, he found Zhou Cheng sitting in the courtyard waiting for him.

“Zhou Xiao… why is it you?”

There was no one else in the small courtyard. Xu Zhongyi wasn’t present, and Chai Hai hadn’t entered. Du Zhaohui also waved his hand, telling Ah Hua to wait outside.

Having bodyguards around would make it seem like he was afraid of Zhou Blackie.

Zhou Blackie seemed to have gotten even tanner, with peeling skin on his exposed neck and arms from the sun.

There was also a salty sea breeze smell about him, not refined at all, yet somehow with his face and build, it gave him a very masculine appeal.

Zhou Cheng was lean and fit, making Du Zhaohui look like a pale chicken in comparison.

How had Xia Xiaolan’s taste changed? She used to like fair-skinned pretty boys, but now the pretty boy had become dark-skinned, did she still like that?

Should he also learn from foreigners and deliberately get a tan on the beach?

Zhou Cheng pointed to a chair, “Young Master Du, please sit.”

Zhou Blackie’s tan made his teeth look even whiter, and Du Zhaohui couldn’t help but look at him a couple more times.

Damn it, couldn’t they just make a phone call? Why use Xu Zhongyi’s name to arrange a meeting, making it all so mysterious?

Du Zhaohui felt completely uncomfortable.

“Zhou, why did you use Xu Zhongyi’s name to meet me? What exactly do you want?”

If he was here to warn him to give up his improper thoughts about someone, that definitely wouldn’t happen.

Du Zhaohui’s eyes were clouded with darkness and provocation.

Zhou Cheng remained completely calm, pretending not to notice.

What Du Zhaohui was thinking could never happen with Zhou Cheng; he had other reasons for seeking this meeting.

“I heard Young Master Du has been looking for Liu Tianquan’s whereabouts?”

Du Zhaohui sneered. Who didn’t know about that?

But with Liu Keying pregnant, Liu Tianquan must have been protected by that old bastard.

“So what if I am?”

“What a coincidence, I’m also looking for Liu Tianquan, and I’ve found him.”

Du Zhaohui immediately sat up straight.

He looked Zhou Cheng up and down, unable to suppress a smirk:

“So, from your appearance at Tang Yuanyue’s wedding, you had other motives. You didn’t return to your post but stayed in Hong Kong for two months, all because of the Du family… Zhou, so you also have a day when you need my help?”

Du Zhaohui’s eyes turned, he leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, looking as provocative as possible:

“If you want my help, that’s fine, but you must agree to one condition. You must—”

Zhou Cheng interrupted him:

“Du Zhaohui, you seem to have misunderstood something. This isn’t about me needing your help; I’m helping you. At most, we can call it mutual benefit. However I look at it, you stand to gain more from this!”
