Chapter 604
"Father, not long after Wu Xie and Fatty Wang left the Xie Mansion, they were found by them. Wu Xie had no choice but to follow them for Fatty Wang's safety. But according to Wu Xie, after he arrived at that place, they kept providing him with good food and drink until a rebellion broke out among them. That's when he found the opportunity to rescue Fatty Wang."
Xie Yuchen told Hua Yu in detail what happened to Wu Xie, without hiding anything.
Hua Yu listened quietly, holding a cup of tea in his hand, squinting his eyes, as if deep in thought. After Xie Yuchen finished speaking, he slowly asked, "How credible do you think this statement is?"
Xie Yuchen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's half and half. The arrest of Fatty Wang and Wu Xie should be true. After all, they were found not long after they left us. And Fatty Wang was punished for treason, which makes sense. It's also possible that Wu Xie was taken back and treated well to good food and drink. But..."
Xie Yuchen paused, then continued, "But I always feel that something is wrong here. Wu Xie said that there was a rebellion among them, so he had the opportunity to rescue Fatty Wang. But why did the rebellion happen right after he was captured? This is too much of a coincidence. Moreover, even if there really was a rebellion, how could they let Wu Xie rescue Fatty Wang so easily?"
Xie Yuchen stared at Hua Yu's face, carefully observing his expression. When he confirmed that Hua Yu's expression had not changed at all, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "However, the news of their internal rebellion is actually false, and those who are tracking them are not really pursuing them. All this is to lead them to the path taken by the people we sent there."
After hearing what Xie Yuchen said, Hua Yu's eyes flashed with relief. He smiled at Xie Yuchen and then slowly said, "Didn't Wu Xie say that was their lair? If it's their lair, then the people who appear there must be their most core and most trusted people. How could such people easily betray them?"
Xie Yuchen's expression suddenly grew serious. He seemed to realize something and asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Dad means..."
Hua Yu's eyes grew sharper. He stared at Xie Yuchen and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid they deliberately released Wu Xie and Fatty Wang to lure us into the trap!"
Xie Yuchen stood up suddenly as if he had suddenly thought of something, "Father, that Fatty Wang..."
Hua Yu made a calming gesture towards Xie Yuchen, "Don't worry, when you sent people over to rescue them, I had already sent people over as well. According to the time, Fatty Wang should already be on the plane to Yanjing."
"Fatty Wang, isn't he..." Xie Yuchen looked at Hua Yu in surprise, then thought about Fatty Wang. Wasn't he seriously injured and unable to move? How could he be on the plane now?
"Fatty Wang has experienced far more than you and Wu Xie. How could such a man not have one or two hidden cards in his hand? Besides, Fatty Wang is very shrewd and would definitely not put himself in danger. Either he revealed some information in exchange for a moment of peace, or he has reached a new cooperation with them."
Hua Yu lifted the teapot with one hand and poured a cup of fragrant tea for himself and Xie Yuchen. His scallion-like fingers lightly touched the rim of the teacup, as if caressing a precious work of art, and then gently pushed the cup towards Xie Yuchen.
"You can only trust 30% of what Fatty Wang says, at most." Hua Yu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. "If you expect to hear half the truth from him, you are completely wrong. He might even trick you."
Xie Yuchen stared at Hua Yu with wide eyes, looking at her suspiciously. He scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Father, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said."
At that moment, Zhang Qiling walked in silently, like a ghost. He was tall, his steps steady, like a moving mountain. He walked straight to Hua Yu and, without a word, picked him up, letting him rest comfortably against his broad chest like a lazy kitten.
"What I mean is, Fatty Wang's injuries only look serious. In reality, they're just superficial scrapes. Take good care of yourself, and they'll heal in a while."
"So, what do you mean, Dad?" Xie Yuchen immediately realized Hua Yu's plan after Zhang Qiling finished speaking.
"I have never understood why they care so much about Wu Xie. Even though the Wu family no longer exists, they still keep an eye on Wu Xie." Hua Yu played with Zhang Qiling's fingers.
"It wasn't until Qi Yu's soul appeared that I finally understood. How could someone's handwriting be exactly the same? Even a handwriting expert couldn't tell the difference."
Hua Yu suddenly sat up straight, staring straight at Xie Yuchen, as if she wanted to see through his eyes into his inner thoughts.
"Xiaohua, do you think there are really people in this world who have the same appearance and even the same skeleton?" Hua Yu's voice trembled a little, as if this question was very important to him.
Xie Yuchen was startled by Hua Yu's sudden question. He was stunned for a moment, and then a sense of fear surged in his heart. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"So, Dad, what you're saying is! The soul Qi Yu we saw before was fake! He wasn't Qi Yu at all, but someone created him to deceive us after implanting new memories into his body? The real Qi Yu is actually..."
Before Xie Yuchen could finish his words, he suddenly covered his mouth. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he looked straight at Hua Yu, as if he had revealed a shocking secret.
After a long while, Xie Yuchen slowly lowered his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "This...how is this possible? If this is true, then everything we have done before is in vain."
Hua Yu smiled slightly, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on Xie Yuchen, and slowly said, "Isn't there a saying circulating in Hangzhou circles that the Wu family is rich, but that doesn't mean Wu Xie is rich. What do you think this saying means? Obviously, Wu Xie is the only child of the Wu family, but how could such a saying be spread?"
"Unless they knew all along that Wu Xie had nothing to do with their Wu family, that's why they spread such rumors. If Wu Xie had attracted everyone's attention in public, then the Wu family's eldest son and his wife must have secretly given birth to the Wu family's true eldest son and grandson!"
Xie Yuchen followed this line of thought and expressed his thoughts in a trembling voice.
