Chapter 1745: Good Acting
As this guy spoke, he actually wiped away tears right in front of Chen Yu, and his movements were so natural that not a single flaw could be picked out.
Chen Yu looked at this guy with some depression; it seemed his previous worries were all unnecessary.
This guy was not stupid at all; just the fact that he could squeeze out a few tears anytime, anywhere, was enough to prove that he was a good actor.
It was a pity that Kawasaki Ye had ended up with such a half-brother; it served him right to be so unlucky.
In fact, children who grow up with a silver spoon in their mouths do not have very strong stress resistance; they have no idea how sinister this world is, and they understand even less how to protect themselves.
Therefore, when they encounter even the slightest threat, it is possible that it will directly cost them their lives.
In a hospital, a man with somewhat graying hair was waiting anxiously outside the operating room.
He was the head of the Santai Association, Kawasaki Dao, who was the biological father of Kawasaki Changye and Kawasaki Ye.
Originally, the Kawasaki Family had recently connected with an extraordinary figure, and this political dignitary seemed interested in the Santai Association; if they gained the support of this big shot, their Three Great Associations would rise to another level, and by then, they would be on equal footing with the Dusong Association.
In that case, their Legendary Family would also rise with the tide and could become a Passed-down Family that would not fall for hundreds of years.
But just after he finished conspiring with that big shot, he received news that his son had been stabbed several times and was now in critical condition.
Kawasaki Dao put down everything in his hands and rushed over, and then he waited anxiously outside the operating room.
Too many things had happened recently; first, his wife's family, the Ichikawa Clan, had suffered a devastating blow, and then his son had met with this; if these things happened all at once, he felt this could not be a coincidence.
Just at this moment, the lights of the operating room went out, and a group of doctors and nurses walked out from inside.
"Doctor, how is my son?" Kawasaki Dao rushed forward to ask.
"I am very sorry, Your Excellency Kawasaki." This chief surgeon said with great regret: "We have tried our best, but Young Master Kawasaki's injuries were truly too severe, so there was really nothing we could do."
"That is to say, my son... is gone?" Kawasaki Dao had a look of disbelief; he simply could not believe his own ears.
Kawasaki Ye was his biological son, his maternal family was also a prestigious one, and he was the future heir designated by the family, but now that the future heir was gone, this was by no means a good thing for the Kawasaki Family.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I am very sorry." The doctor said: "He lost too much blood, and he was stabbed several times in vital areas; we already tried our best to save him, but..."
The doctor stopped there; he shook his head helplessly, then took off his mask and left.
"No..." Watching his son being pushed out covered in a white sheet, Kawasaki Dao let out a hysterical roar; he lunged forward, clutching his son tightly, his emotions out of control; he could not accept this fact.
"Brother... my elder brother." Just at this moment, a wailing voice sounded from the side; it was Kawasaki Changye who had arrived.
He rushed over and burst into tears: "Kawasaki Ye, what happened to you? What happened? Why did it turn out like this?"
Kawasaki Changye's helpless and distraught appearance made no one doubt that he was a person who valued affection and righteousness.
"What are you here for?" Kawasaki Dao stared angrily at this illegitimate son of his.
To tell the truth, he had never liked this son, not only because Kawasaki Changye was an illegitimate child, but more importantly, his mother worked in an extremely dishonorable industry.
He felt that Kawasaki Changye's arrival in this world was an accident, and also the most dishonorable thing in his career.
And now that his own biological son was dead, this illegitimate son was still alive and well, which made him extremely furious; he was even thinking, why wasn't the person who died Kawasaki Changye?
"Father... I, I just received the news and learned that Brother had an accident, so I rushed over." Kawasaki Changye looked grave: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting Kawasaki Ye well; if I had been there at the time, I would rather have been the one stabbed than him."
"Get out, get out of the way." Kawasaki Dao was furious; he angrily shoved his son aside.
He knew clearly that Kawasaki Changye was not a playboy who only knew how to drink and have fun all day; on the contrary, this kid was just as scheming as his mother. He suspected that today's incident had something to do with this illegitimate son, but he currently had no evidence.
"Father... please mourn." Although Kawasaki Changye was almost pushed over, he had no complaints, and there was no sign of anger on his face.
"Brother has already passed on; what we need to do now is arrange his funeral. Don't worry, I am still here."
"You? Who do you think you are? What kind of thing are you? What makes you think you can replace your brother?" Kawasaki Dao almost collapsed; he roared hysterically: "You are nothing but an illegitimate child; you are the child born to that geisha; the blood flowing in your body is base blood; what right do you have to replace Kawasaki Ye?"
"But Brother has already passed on now, hasn't he?" A trace of 'grief' appeared on Kawasaki Changye's face: "Even if you have a thousand dissatisfactions with me, you have to accept this fact; our lives must go on."
Kawasaki Dao suddenly raised his head; he suddenly felt that the emotions displayed by this illegitimate son were unusual; all the grief on his face was faked.
At the same time, he also realized: yes, Kawasaki Ye was dead, but the inheritance of the Kawasaki Family could not be broken.
If calculated this way, then the future of the Kawasaki Family could only fall upon this illegitimate son, so he was the biggest beneficiary.
"Father, what's wrong?" Seeing the changing expressions on Kawasaki Dao's face, Kawasaki Changye suddenly had an ominous premonition.
His father had never been a fool, otherwise he would not have founded the Santai Association, and his own performance just now had been too heavy-handed, so it was very likely that his father had seen through something.
"Does your brother's death have anything to do with you?" Kawasaki Dao grabbed the illegitimate son's collar tightly.
"No, it doesn't, Father, you've misunderstood me; how could I do such a thing?" Kawasaki Changye was slightly stunned, then immediately denied it vehemently.
"It has nothing to do with you? Are you sure? Come, look." Kawasaki Dao grabbed Kawasaki Changye's collar and lifted the white sheet covering Kawasaki Ye.
He pointed at his son, who still had his eyes open in death, and said sternly: "Look, look closely at your brother, and tell him that you weren't lying just now, that everything you said was true; do you dare?"
