Chapter 1512: The Little Fox Fights the Old Fox 2

"No reason, I just don't want you to be confusedly taking the fall for someone else here."

"Thanks, I haven't eaten meat for many days!" Ergouzi told the truth.

"If you get out, what kind of good food won't you be able to eat?"

Get out?

That would still take more than two years.

Thinking of this, Ergouzi felt very sad.

To say he didn't regret it would be impossible.

But thinking that if he endured it now, there would be a large sum of money for him to squander after he got out, his mood improved.

This period of hard life was supported by this kind of "belief" that kept him going, persisting until now.

Ergouzi didn't answer, but his mental activity didn't escape Zichen's eyes at all.

Zichen asked: "Do you want to get out? Now, immediately, you can get out right away!"

"How do I do it?"

Ergouzi's eyes lit up.

"It's very simple, you are taking the fall for someone, if you expose that person, won't it have nothing to do with you anymore..."

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be persuaded so easily.

But the person in front of Zichen was Ergouzi; he wasn't the type to lay down his life for a friend. This kind of person takes the blame for money, and likewise, for money, he could sell out Huo Zhenteng without hesitation.

This just depends on who gives the better benefits!

Ergouzi's expression softened, but he still didn't agree immediately.

Zichen continued: "I know you have concerns, you are worried about being retaliated against by that person after you get out, right?"

"Actually, this problem is especially easy to solve. After you get out, you will have a bonus, you can do whatever you want, going abroad is fine too. If you go abroad, who could still cause you trouble?"

If he went abroad, even with the greatest influence, they wouldn't be able to find him.

"Huo Zhenteng has a grudge against your master, you didn't know that, did you?" Ergouzi suddenly spoke up.

He wasn't a pushover either.

He didn't reveal the matter of Huo Zhenteng bribing him; if he said it, the money Huo Zhenting gave him would have to be spat back out.

Ergouzi didn't want to spit out the meat that was already in his mouth; he couldn't have suffered for several months for nothing!

Seeing him take the bait, Zichen was happy inside, but his expression remained unchanged, and he asked: "Oh, what kind of grudge?"

"Visiting time is up, I'll tell you when you come next time."

Just as he was about to get to the key point, he suddenly stopped talking.

After Ergouzi finished speaking, he returned to the cell without looking back.

The corners of Zichen's mouth turned up, carrying a hint of a smile.

He knew Ergouzi wanted him to set a price, then see if the thing he wanted to say was worth that price; if he didn't know, he wouldn't take this risk.

Ergouzi was not an ordinary scoundrel; he was very thoughtful.

Three days later, Zichen came again.

This time he didn't waste words, clearly stating the price, a sum of money enough to make Ergouzi's heart flutter.

Furthermore, Zichen promised that as long as he turned state's evidence, he could have Ergouzi released without charges and give him a sum of money to live freely and happily abroad for a while.

Thus, Ergouzi told a story. He said that decades ago, Huo Zhenteng had been an apprentice in a restaurant, and at that time, Gu Zhenhao's father was the head chef at that restaurant; the father being framed and sent to Prison was the apprentice's doing.

Later, the apprentice's affair was exposed and he went to Prison. After he got out, he didn't change his ways, and for many years, relying on shady methods, he did many wicked things, and his business grew larger and larger.

Zichen said his home had been burglarized.

Ergouzi was very certain that the thief who entered the Sheng Family was no one else, but Huo Zhenteng himself!

Back when he was in Prison, he learned quite a few "skills," and this wasn't the first time he had done this kind of thing; he was "very experienced."

Zichen's original intention was to have Ergouzi spill the beans about the Resort, but he didn't expect him to provide many other clues, all of which were very useful.

These clues were enough to keep Huo Zhenteng in Prison for several years.

Him going to Prison now is different from decades ago. In the past, information wasn't well-developed, and after getting out, with a little packaging, one could "turn over a new leaf."

Now everything is connected to the internet, and it is very difficult to clear one's name once they have a dark history; it won't be so easy for him to whitewash himself again.

Ergouzi suddenly wanted to report him; he bit Huo Zhenteng, pointing out that he had a boss, and that boss was Huo Zhenteng.

Huo Zhenteng, of course, refused to admit it to the death, saying these were all frame-ups.

But after Ergouzi produced the evidence, he had nothing more to say.

Because of his unfair competitive methods, which caused serious consequences, Huo Zhenteng was sentenced to three years by the court as the mastermind. Before he went in, he sent a message to Zichen.

"We have a long road ahead, thank you for letting me witness the prowess of the younger generation!"

The news of Huo Zhenteng going in reached Chen Family Village.

Gu Zhihao was shocked to hear that Huo Zhenting was the one who framed his father back then; he couldn't believe it no matter what!

But later he believed it. He cried very hard, locked himself in a room alone, and after a long time, he came out with a blank stare, holding a wine bottle in one hand.

"Where are you going?" Shi Yuke stopped him, afraid he would do something rash.

"To visit my father's grave."

"Visit the grave?"

Shi Yuke cleared the way.

Fine, this kind of thing couldn't be stopped.

"You're just taking wine to the grave? How about I prepare some offerings, and I'll go with you?"

Gu Zhihao shook his head, "No need, you don't need to go with me either, I'll go alone."

He wept bitterly at his parents' graves.

He poured both bottles of wine onto the graves to pay respects to his father's departed soul.

Jiangzhou.

Sheng Family.

Fangjie went out to buy groceries, but just as she reached the courtyard gate, she suddenly ran back.

As she ran, she shouted in surprise and delight: "Madam, the Second Young Master is back, the Second Young Master is back!" Fang Jie's voice was trembling with excitement.

"Who did you say?"

"Litian?" Shi Youxuan set Yueyue down from her arms and dashed downstairs.

Before she had even finished running down the stairs, she saw Litian appear at the main entrance.

"Mom, I'm back."

Litian set down his luggage and stood at the entrance, looking tall and upright.

Shi Youxuan rushed over, grabbed Litian in a hug, and looked up to examine him.

It seemed he had grown taller, and he was sturdier too.

He was just darker, but for a boy, being a little dark was no problem at all.

"Why did you suddenly come back? Nothing bad happened, right?" Shi Youxuan was both pleasantly surprised and a little worried.

Litian smiled and said: "No, you can rest assured. It's our unit's annual leave, so I came back to visit family."

"That's great, that's good, that's good. How long are you staying?"

"I only have three days of leave..."

The mother and son hadn't spoken more than a few words when Litian felt something unusual at his leg!

It was Yueyue.

No one had noticed when Yueyue had come over; at this moment, she was hugging her second brother's thigh, looking up at him with curiosity.

"Second Brother, hug!"

Litian had been away from home for a year.

When he left, Yueyue had just learned to walk, and now she could say anything.

Normally, it would be perfectly normal for a child that small not to recognize Litian after not seeing him for a year.

But Yueyue wasn't shy at all and even recognized him; Litian was pleasantly surprised and happy!
