Chapter 40: The Chu Family's Decision
After the Han family's banquet, Chu Haifeng rushed back to the Chu family's house, couldn't wait to knock on his father Chu Ming's study, and walked in.
Chu Ming, who was looking at the books behind the desk, raised his eyes to look at his son, put down the book in his hand, and smiled a little puzzledly: "Haifeng, the banquet is over?" Coming back so early doesn't look like your style. ”
"Dad, I have something to discuss with you, something very important." Chu Haifeng looked at his father with a serious face and said.
Chu Ming was slightly shocked, in his memory, the youngest son hadn't spoken to him so seriously for a long time. Although he is not a big man in the capital, he gave birth to two really angry sons, the eldest son Chu Haixiong is outstanding among the sons of the capital, and he is righteous, quite a general, and the sons of the capital support him and are known as the first sons.
Although the youngest son Chu Haifeng is a little unremarkable under the aura of his elder brother, Chu Ming knows that his youngest son has been a low-key person, and his ability is even better than that of the eldest son. Moreover, Chu Haifeng is steady, rational, alert, and willing to keep a low profile, which is what Chu Ming appreciates the most.
"Let's talk, our father and son haven't opened their hearts and talked for a long time." Chu Ming nodded and motioned for his son to sit down, chuckling.
"Dad, although tonight's Han family banquet ended perfectly, it experienced a bloody storm, and all the guests almost walked away from the ghost gate, and no one knew this." Chu Haifeng sat down and looked at his father and said.
"Oh, what's going on? What happened to the Han family? Chu Ming showed a look of surprise and looked at his son to ask questions.
Chu Haifeng immediately told his father what happened at the Han family's banquet in 1510, although Yang Yifeng did not know how to eliminate those killers in the end, but he knew that the matter was perfectly resolved, and Yang Yifeng was recognized by the Han family.
"There is such a thing, this matter is obviously someone hired a killer group to assassinate him, Han Tianqi is not a person who easily suffers dumb losses, I am afraid that the capital will not be at peace." Chu Ming took a deep breath and sighed.
"Dad, I have a bad premonition, the capital will soon redivide the power groups, and if we want to obtain more benefits in the capital, we must choose a good camp in advance, otherwise with our family without any background, we may become victims of those power groups fighting for power and profit at any time." Chu Haifeng said in a deep voice.
Nodding, Chu Ming frowned and said, "Yes, the water in the capital is too muddy, and it is difficult for us small fish and shrimp to survive." Haifeng, what do you think? ”
"Dad, the Shangguan family supports Vice Chairman Liu, and Vice Chairman Deng has the support of the Ximen family in the south. This year's general election is coming soon, once Chairman Sun abdicates, only these two are the most likely to become the chairman. Chu Haifeng said with a wry smile.
"Do you want us to join Vice Chairman Deng's camp? However, at present, Vice Chairman Liu's appeal is stronger, and he is more likely to become the chairman. Chu Ming said with a frown.
Shaking his head, Chu Haifeng showed an unfathomable smile, looked at his father and said, "Dad, in my opinion, Vice Chairman Liu is probably going to miss the chairmanship because of the Shangguan family." ”
"Oh, Haifeng, what did you find? What does this have to do with what happened to the Han family's banquet? Chu Ming's eyes lit up, staring at his son and asked.
"Dad, the elected president must not only be supported by the people, but most importantly by the military. In addition to the chairman, Mr. Han is the supreme head of the military, and his position plays a crucial role in whether he can be elected chairman. That's why someone wants to replace Old Man Han at all costs, and I think this matter must be inseparable from the Shangguan family. With Old Man Han's temper, how can he give up if he is assassinated, he will definitely have a big trouble with the Shangguan family, so if Vice Chairman Liu does not have the support of Old Man Han, how can he have a chance to become the chairman? ”
Listening to his son's analysis, Chu Ming shook his head and said, "This matter is still unclear, maybe it is possible that someone from the Ximen family is behind the scenes." It is normal for both camps to sit in high positions for the people they support. ”
"Dad, even if this matter was done by the Ximen family, but Old Man Han can't tell which side it is, and because of one person, Old Man Han will be the first to oppose the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family has always been domineering, when you meet the grumpy Old Man Han, what do you think the result will be?" Chu Haifeng said with a shrewd smile.
"Oh, the person you are referring to is the kid named Yang Yifeng you said just now, the top student in this year's college entrance examination?" Chu Ming pondered slightly and asked.
"Yes, Yang Yifeng is a very special person, although he was born in the countryside, but he is a talent with both civil and military skills, the Shangguan Wenhao of the Shangguan family was abolished by him in the arena, and tonight he turned the tide and helped the Han family survive a catastrophe, but the eldest lady of the Han family fell in love with him again, I think soon he will become the grandson-in-law of the Han family, and the Shangguan family will never let Yang Yifeng go, so it will inevitably have a dispute with the Han family." Chu Haifeng said with a smile.
Chu Ming shook his head and said: "Haifeng, although the Han family has a very high status in the military, but with the wealth and strength of the Shangguan family, it is not difficult to deal with the Han family, and the Shangguan family is not without people in the military. ”
"Hehe, Dad, I've thought about this too, but don't forget Yang Yifeng, according to my judgment of him during this time, he must have a strong background behind him, otherwise why wouldn't Liu Yuntao's arrogant guy dare to enter Huaxia University to trouble Yang Yifeng? And the Shangguan family did not treat Yang Yifeng well, and it can be judged from these two points that there is support behind Yang Yifeng. If Yang Yifeng becomes the grandson-in-law of the Han family, he will inevitably be implicated, and the people behind him will never stand idly by. ”
"Haha-Haifeng, it is worthy of being my Chu Ming's son, your analysis is meticulous and reasonable, just according to your ideas, get closer to the Han family and become friends with this Yang Yifeng, I think these things will not be difficult for you. If there is a place where your eldest brother can be used, go to him, and I will communicate with him in advance. Chu Ming laughed, looked at his son with satisfaction, and said approvingly.
At the same time, in front of a small bar in the capital, a middle-aged man with an anxious face looked around a few times with a gloomy look in his eyes, and then walked into the bar.
When he came to the bar, the middle-aged man sat down as if no one was around, stared greedily at the deep furrow on the bartender's chest, and then glanced at the bartender.
The bartender said hello to the deputy next to her, twisted her waist, and walked to the bathroom of the bar with her plump buttocks dangling.
The middle-aged man drank a glass of wine from the bar, took out a red bill, and then walked to the bathroom humming a song.
In front of the corridor of the bathroom, the bartender stared at the approaching middle-aged man with a cold look, and said coldly: "Viper, how is the situation?" Who told you to come here. ”
"Phoenix, the situation is urgent, none of the killers we sent to the Han family have come back, but the Han family's banquet has ended smoothly, I think the mission has failed." The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said eagerly.
"What? Didn't I let you control the guard family named Zhang Daring? How did the Han family find out about our plan? The bartender's face changed and she asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know about this either, I'm just here to ask you what we're going to do next?" The middle-aged man asked with an irritated expression.
The bartender glared at the middle-aged man fiercely, walked back and forth in the aisle a few times angrily, and then turned around and pointed at the middle-aged man: "Viper, the place where you are hiding is no longer safe, go and kill the mother and daughter immediately, and transfer immediately." I'll contact the headquarters and send a master. ”
"Phoenix, now there are only two of us left in the capital, if the organization can't spare manpower to support us for a while, and the Han family is searching for us everywhere, our situation will be very bad, I have an idea, why don't we sneak into the Shangguan family and hide first?" The middle-aged man said eagerly.
"Let's talk about it after tonight, the Han family may not be able to get any news from the black bear's mouth, but Zhang Daring knows your hiding place, and your situation is even more dangerous." The bartender pondered for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll go back and kill the mother and daughter, I'll find a place to hide, and you take care." After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and walked out.
"Useless guy, if you get caught, it's likely to be a big deal, and if you don't do it, it's useless to keep you." The bartender watched the middle-aged man leave, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, and she said to herself.
