Chapter 43: Interrogation
The truth is indeed as Cui Ze expected, since he entered the Cui family's mansion, no one from the Cui family has come to greet him.
Later, a servant of the Cui family found Cui Ze and took him in the direction of the Cui family's living room.
After Cui Ze followed the servant into the living room of Cui's house, he found that there were already more than ten people sitting in the living room, and almost the entire living room was full.
Needless to say, these people were obviously waiting for Cui Ze.
Among them, sitting on the main seat is an old man in his sixties, who is Cui Mingyuan, the former head of the Cui family, and Cui Ze's grandfather.
Sitting next to Cui Mingyuan, who was glaring angrily at Cui Ze who came in, was Cui Haishan, the current head of the Cui family, who was also Cui Ze's cheap father.
Sitting next to the two of them were Cui Ze's nominal second and third uncles, both of whom were around forty years old.
There were also some old people of the same generation as Cui Mingyuan in the living room, as well as other elders of the Cui family.
The more than ten people in front of him can be said to be the core personnel of the Cui family today.
Except for Cui Mingyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, nodding and smiling at Cui Ze who walked into the living room, the others either ignored Cui Ze who came in, or just ignored it.
"Grandpa!"
After Cui Ze walked into the living room, he bowed to Cui Mingyuan, who was sitting on the main seat.
As for the other people in the living room, including the cheap father, Cui Ze chose to ignore it.
Seeing this scene, Cui Haishan couldn't help but have another look of anger on his face.
For a big family like the Cui family, it is extremely important to pay attention to seniority, and Cui Ze's behavior is undoubtedly very rude.
"Cui Ze is here, sit down!"
Cui Mingyuan didn't say anything about Cui Ze's rude behavior, just smiled and nodded to Cui Ze, and motioned for Cui Ze to sit down on the sofa at the bottom of the living room.
Now the people in the living room are all Cui Ze's elders, Cui Ze has the lowest rank here, Cui Mingyuan let Cui Ze sit at the bottom, not deliberately insulting him.
"Humph!"
Cui Haishan snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Cui Mingyuan for letting Cui Ze sit down.
In Cui Haishan's eyes, Cui Ze came this time to be interrogated by them.
Before the matter was clarified, Cui Ze was not qualified to sit down.
However, now that Cui Mingyuan has spoken, Cui Haishan is helpless no matter how dissatisfied he is.
Although Cui Mingyuan has taken a back seat and handed over the position of head of the family to Cui Haishan.
But when it comes to the prestige of the Cui family, Cui Haishan is far from being able to compare with Cui Mingyuan.
As long as Cui Mingyuan says a word, Cui Haishan, the head of the family, will be at the end.
"Grandpa, you called me over this time, just tell me if you have anything!"
Cui Ze sat down on the sofa casually, looked at Cui Mingyuan on the main seat, and asked knowingly.
"You wicked obstacle, don't you know what we asked you to come for?"
Before Cui Mingyuan could speak, Cui Haishan first couldn't help but look at Cui Ze angrily and said, "Why don't you hurry up and confess, you killed your third brother Cui Yuan in a madness!"
In Cui Haishan's heart, he obviously hates Cui Ze to the extreme.
Originally, because of Cui Ze's mother, Cui Haishan still felt guilty about Cui Ze, otherwise he would not have called Cui Ze every month as living expenses all these years.
Cui Haishan thinks that he has done his best to Cui Ze, and there is no place to be sorry for Cui Ze.
But now, Cui Ze will take revenge and kill his only remaining son-in-law, Cui Yuan, how can Cui Haishan not hate in his heart?
"Yes, Cui Ze, our Cui family thinks that we haven't done anything to be sorry for you, why would you do such a thing?"
A somewhat obese middle-aged man sitting next to Cui Haishan spoke, and said to Cui Ze with a distressed look.
This person Cui Ze had some impressions and knew that the other party was his third uncle Cui Haiping.
Cui Ze and Cui Haiping have not dealt much, and the most impressive thing is that when Cui Ze was kicked out of Cui's house, this Cui Haiping made a lot of efforts from it.
"Hehe, third uncle...... Now that Cui Yuan is dead, you should be the happiest, right?"
Looking at Cui Haiping's pretentious posture, Cui Ze sneered: "Now the most promising person to become the heir of the head of the family is not my illegitimate son, but your sons - if you want to say that you want Cui Yuan to die the most, it should be you! Compared to me, you are the one with the most motive to kill." ”
Of course, it is impossible for Cui Ze to admit the crime of killing Cui Yuan, and the purpose of his words now is precisely to muddy the waters.
"Y-You!"
Hearing Cui Ze's words, Cui Haiping could no longer maintain a calm smile, his face suddenly turned blue, and he suddenly got up from the sofa and stood up, his eyes glaring at Cui Ze like a squirting guy.
It was Cui Haishan, who had been staring at Cui Ze all the time, his face was also stiff, and he looked at Cui Haiping with suspicion.
Although Cui Haishan didn't want to agree, he couldn't otherwise Cui Ze did have some truth in what he said.
"Father, eldest brother, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense, how can I be unfavorable to Yuan'er, I have always loved this nephew the most!"
Seeing that Cui Haishan's expression was wrong, Cui Haiping couldn't continue to quarrel with Cui Ze, and hurriedly explained to Cui Mingyuan and Cui Haishan.
"I believe in the third brother, the third brother is impossible to be unfavorable to Yuan'er, don't believe this little brute's plan to sow discord!"
At this time, a tall, thin man with glasses sitting next to Cui Haiping suddenly spoke, staring at Cui Zedao with cold eyes.
From the moment Cui Ze entered the living room, the tall and thin middle-aged man had been staring at Cui Ze's every move, watching Cui Ze's every move.
"The second brother deserves to be the brains of our Cui family, or do you understand me!"
Hearing the words of the thin middle-aged man, Cui Haiping suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally panicked look on his face disappeared.
There were originally a few people in the living room, and because of Cui Ze's words just now, they looked at Cui Haiping with some suspicion.
Now after hearing the words of this middle-aged man, their suspicious eyes have also disappeared.
"Hmm, second uncle?"
Cui Ze's eyes shrank, and he looked at the thin middle-aged man who was staring at him tightly, and recognized the identity of the other party.
This thin middle-aged man is Cui Ze's second uncle Cui Haiwen, a man called a "think tank" by the Cui family.
Cui Ze and Cui Haven have almost never dealt with each other, and even in their memory, they only have a one-sided relationship with each other.
The most profound memory of the predecessor is that Cui Haven seems to have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts, which is daunting.
Judging from Cui Haiwen's mouth, everyone gave up their suspicion of Cui Haiping, his prestige in the Cui family is very high, and he is not even under Cui Haishan, the head of the family.
It's just that Cui Ze is a little confused, his predecessor doesn't seem to have offended this second uncle, I don't know why the other party seems to have a lot of opinions about him?
