Chapter 775 Only Waiting for the Night
The Wu Family had a deep foundation in Haining, and the whole family was flourishing. However, most of the promising and capable people had left Haining and lived in the Yangtze River Delta region. Some of them even went overseas to foreign countries, which was quite common for the big families in the south. Therefore, the most important thing for the southern families was to build the genealogy and worship the ancestors.
This was the Wu Family's old house, which covered an area of several acres. The buildings in the middle were the Huizhou architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The old house of the Wu Family used to cover a large area. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by war and fire, and only a small part of it was left. Wu Yongchuan's father rebuilt it after he became rich, which could be regarded as a memory for the descendants of the Wu Family.
After Wu Yongchuan came back with his mother, wife, and children, they lived in the old house directly. The old house was often cleaned and tidied up. After all, the main buildings were built later, so the decoration and supporting facilities were very complete. It was not a problem for people to live in it.
Haining belonged to Jiaxing, which was not far from Hangzhou. Therefore, many people knew about the famous Third Master Wu and Wu Yongchuan, who was the godson of Third Master Wu. As for other things, most people did not know. Only those tycoons who had reached a certain level knew about them.
But no matter what, when Third Master Wu appeared, everyone was envious of the Wu Clan. To be able to get Third Master Wu's support, the Wu Clan was still very influential. The Wu Clan still had a deep foundation.
Wu Yongchuan welcomed Third Master Wu in person with the direct and collateral relatives of the Wu Family. His mother was waiting in the main hall of the ancestral house. After all, she was old and it was not convenient for her to walk. Moreover, Third Master Wu respected Wu Yongchuan's mother very much. Therefore, his mother was qualified to welcome him.
Apart from Chu Sikong, He Luo Changgong, Yang Deng, and Liang Yue, who were his absolute trusted subordinates, the rest of them were bodyguards with good skills. Third Master Wu did not have any schedule in Haining. After attending the sacrificial ceremony of the Wu Family, he would directly drive back to Hangzhou.
At this time, the others had already stepped out of the car quickly and separated the others. It was not until Chu Sikong opened the car door that Third Master Wu, who was dressed in black linen clothes, slowly got out of the car. His aura was extremely powerful. Even though the others on the scene were far away from him, they could feel his aura. For many of them, it was the first time that they had seen the legendary Third Master Wu. Therefore, they had no regrets about this trip.
Wu Yongchuan bowed respectfully and shouted, "Foster Father, you are here."
Third Master Wu did not like this foster son very much. Although he had once placed high hopes on him, he had completely broken his heart in the end. How could he not know what Wu Yongchuan was thinking? It was precisely because he knew that he treated Wu Yongchuan coldly. Not killing Wu Yongchuan was already the greatest kindness that Third Master Wu had shown to him. If Third Master Wu put Wu Yongchuan in an important position, how could he convince the public?
As a result, now, Third Master Wu and Wu Yongchuan only had the previous kindness left, and there was no interest relationship between them anymore. This time, Third Master Wu came to Haining for the sake of Wu Yongchuan's dead father and old mother. If Wu Yongchuan's old mother were also dead, Third Master Wu would probably have nothing to do with Wu Yongchuan at all. The only relationship left was the nominal relationship between Third Master Wu and Wu Yongchuan.
The rest of the Wu family also respectfully lowered their heads and said, "Third Master."
Third Master Wu nodded casually and waved his hand to show his respect. He had met many juniors of the Wu Family before. When Wu Yongchuan had been put in an important position by him, many juniors of the Wu Family had also worked for him. It was not until Wu Yongchuan had betrayed him that these juniors were abandoned. After all, they belonged to Wu Yongchuan.
"Are you all ready?" Third Master Wu asked with concern. No matter how much he disliked Wu Yongchuan, this was the priest of Wu Yongchuan's father, namely his big brother. He still cared about it more or less. After all, without his big brother, there would not be the current Third Master Wu.
Wu Yongchuan said politely, "Foster Father, don't worry. Everything is ready. We are just waiting for you."
"Where is your mother?" All these were within Third Master Wu's expectation. If he had not come, Wu Yongchuan would not have started the activity at will.
Wu Yongchuan reached out his hand and said, "Foster Father, my mother has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Lunch has been prepared at home. You go in first. After lunch, we will start the activity officially."
"Okay." Third Master Wu still had the same attitude.
Wu Yongchuan asked his Foster Father to walk ahead of him. Chu Sikong followed him closely. Someone had already led the way. Moreover, Third Master Wu had been to the old house of the Wu Family before.
It was not until this moment that Wu Yongchuan greeted Luo Changgong and Yang Deng, who were behind him. Yang Deng said happily, "Big Brother, you must be very busy, right?"
Wu Yongchuan smiled happily and said, "It's okay. There is nothing to do. The subordinates will do it. I just need to keep an eye on them."
In terms of status, Luo Changgong in the past was no match for Wu Yongchuan at all. At that time, Wu Yongchuan was unique in the whole circle. No one dared to challenge his status. Everyone knew the relationship between Wu Yongchuan and Third Master Wu. Third Master Wu, who had no children, was destined to hand over everything to Wu Yongchuan in the future. That was because without the Wu Family, there would be no Third Master Wu today.
Consequently, when Luo Changgong saw Wu Yongchuan at that time, he would call him big brother respectfully. However, it did not occur to him that what happened later would happen. Wu Yongchuan, who only needed to wait for time, could not sit still and betray the Wu Family. Everyone was shocked. Originally, Wu Yongchuan thought that he could win the support of other foster sons by promising them enough benefits. However, it did not occur to him that these foster sons would all oppose him. In the end, Wu Yongchuan was attacked by them.
What Wu Yongchuan did not expect at that time was that these foster sons had already discussed in private. They would only have a chance to take over after Wu Yongchuan fell down. If Wu Yongchuan did not fall down, it would be meaningless at all.
Since Wu Yongchuan fell down, when others saw Wu Yongchuan, they seemed to call him big brother politely. However, in their hearts, they did not take Wu Yongchuan seriously anymore. That was because he was not the Wu Yongchuan in the past anymore.
However, the relationship between Luo Changgong and Wu Yongchuan was not bad. At that time, Wu Yongchuan had taken care of Luo Changgong, while the others suppressed Luo Changgong, especially the arrogant Lao Er.
Consequently, Luo Changgong still remembered some favors. After Wu Yongchuan's accident, although he did not understand why, he did not hit him when he was down.
In fact, Luo Changgong's character could be seen from his relationship with Yang Deng and the fact that he had let Qin Sheng go at the critical moment. This person had a broad vision and did not care about these trivial things. Consequently, he could be regarded as a big figure.
Luo Changgong also called him big brother. The relationship between them now was more like that of friends. They did not have any business dealings like in the past. Wu Yongchuan smiled happily and said, "I'm very happy and grateful that you can come."
Luo Changgong replied, "Big brother, it's okay for others not to come. But how can we not come?"
Wu Yongchuan sighed with emotion as he said, "Thank you. I won't say anything more. If my foster father doesn't leave tonight, I'll treat you to a drink." In fact, he knew what he was thinking, but Luo Changgong and the others didn't.
Yang Deng, who was very loyal, said, "Big brother, you are too polite."
"Let's stop talking. Let's go in first." Wu Yongchuan was afraid that he would make a mistake if he said too much, so he quickly pulled them inside. Liang Yue did not have much impression of Wu Yongchuan. She just smiled and nodded in greeting.
In the main hall of the Wu Family, several daughters-in-law of the Wu Family were accompanying the old lady. The other men were outside to welcome and see them off. Although the Wu Family did not make a big fuss this time, many local tycoons in Haining and Jiaxing still came to pay their respects.
After Third Master Wu walked in, the old lady stood up with a smile and said, "Lao San, you are here."
Third Master Wu said with a smile, "Old sister, you just need to sit down. Since you called me, how can I not come? Moreover, this is a big event for my Brother Wu. I have to come. "He was quite approachable in front of this old sister. In the past, this old sister had cooked for him many times.
The old lady shook her head and smiled bitterly. "You are a busy man now. I did not want to bother you. Yongchuan just wanted to ask you. He was afraid that if he did not tell you, you would have a problem with it. I did not expect that you would agree."
Third Master Wu smiled happily and said, "Old sister, if you say so, it is really a slap in my face. You had to tell me. I also had to come."
The old lady held Third Master Wu's arm and said, "It is good that you came. It is good that you came. Your Brother Wu also wants to see you. After so many years, you still remember him. He should be very happy."
Wu Yongchuan let out a long sigh and said, "I can forget anyone, but how dare I forget my Brother Wu. Old sister, without my Brother Wu, I would not be here today."
At this time, Wu Yongchuan stood up and said, "Mom, let's not talk about the past today. Foster Father keeps it in mind. Let him finish his meal first. When we are busy today, you can have a good talk with him."
The old lady held Third Master Wu's arm and continued to say, "Third Brother, you are not allowed to leave today. I still have a lot to talk with you. If you don't talk with him now, I don't know when we will meet again next time."
Originally, Third Master Wu planned to go back to Hangzhou directly after he finished his work. Now that the old lady said so, he was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to say, "Old sister, let's get down to business first. We will talk later."
Wu Yongchuan felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had arranged everything. If his Foster Father did not stay, his plan might fail. What followed was Qin Sheng's complaints and disappointment.
Wu Yongchuan was thinking about how to let his old mother continue to put pressure on his Foster Father. As long as his Foster Father stayed, it would be okay. The worst result was that he could stay for a while.
In a residential house not far away from the Wu Family's old house, Chang Baji stared at the movement in this side with a telescope. Everything was under his control. He had completely grasped Third Master Wu's whereabouts, including who was around him.
This residential house was provided by Wu Yongchuan. It had the best facilities and could directly observe the situation here. It could be seen that Wu Yongchuan had prepared well.
Now, they only needed to wait for the night to fall. As long as Third Master Wu did not leave, they could start to take action.
