C2813 There Was a Reason for It(2)
"That is to say, the reason for the old patriarch's death is suspicious. There should be an external reason for the rapid loss of the Spirit Power in the old patriarch's body, and then the old patriarch's body could not bear it, resulting in his sudden death in his sleep!"
He asked Faang Cheng tentatively.
"Yes!"
Faang Cheng nodded and confirmed Butler Hu's words before continuing.
"Therefore, the person who caused the rapid loss of the Spirit Power in the main body of the Hu Family is the real murderer of the Hu Family Head!"
At the mention of the word "murderer," Butler Hu could not help but tremble slightly. At this very moment, at the mention of the murderer, the first person the three of them would think of would be the Young Master of the Hu family, who had not been on good terms with his father even after his death.
"Could it be... Is it really Young Master? How... How is this possible? The old patriarch was his biological father! Although the Old Patriarch was slightly stricter with Young Master compared to the Old Mistress, that was still a normal state for a father to educate his son! The Old Patriarch treats Young Master very well. He thinks about Young Master in everything. Even after Young Master caused trouble, he personally went to solve those troublesome matters. He even came to apologize to others. This is a common occurrence. I don't understand. Even if Young Master is angry with the Old Patriarch, he can't... He can't kill his own father!"
Steward Hu could not understand, and almost beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Butler Hu, don't jump to conclusions yourself! I want to ask, how is your Young Master's Spirit Power?"
Faang Cheng patted Butler Hu's shoulder as a form of comfort.
"Spirit Power? If the Spirit Power is not enough, Young Master is basically in a state of being ignorant and incompetent. Not to mention cultivating the spirit, even the books were forced by the old patriarch to go to the library and study for two years. He can read and count now. This way, when he takes over the Hu family's business, he won't be blind and know nothing!"
Speaking of Young Master's studies, Butler Hu had a helpless expression on his face. The Young Master of the Hu family's Spirit Power was not good enough. He could barely read.
"Then your family's Young Master can't be the murderer of your old patriarch. The murderer is someone else!"
Seeing how the butler looked at him suspiciously after he finished speaking, Faang Cheng explained to him.
"The person who can absorb all of the Spirit Power in Old Patriarch Hu's body must be a person whose Spirit Power is much stronger than Old Patriarch Hu's! You said that Young Master Hu was too lazy to cultivate his spirit, then he must not be the one who absorbed Old Master Hu's Spirit Power! But as for whether Young Master Hu was involved in this matter, whether he helped the people who killed his father, or whether Young Master knew about the cause of death of the Old Master after the death of the Old Master Hu, we will have to interrogate him in detail!"
Faang Cheng retracted his hand and gently closed the lid of Old Patriarch Hu's coffin.
"So, the first person we're going to ask must be Hu Young Master and the Old Mistress, the two most important people. Are you... going to participate?"
"I do!"
Unlike the hesitation he had before entering the Hu household, Steward Hu now knew that there was indeed a problem with the Hu family patriarch's death, and he also saw that Young Master Hu had gone too far with his father. Steward Hu's previous hesitation was completely eliminated, and he was now anxious to find the murderer for his benefactor, the Hu family patriarch. Whether this person was his son or his wife, he would find this person.
"Well, then, let's go and see this heartless pair of mother and son, and see what they have done to their husband and father, who have looked after them all their lives."
With that, Faang Cheng turned around and walked out of the room where the corpse of the Old Patriarch Hu was. This time, he did not need Steward Hu to walk in front to shut up the servants who believed in his character. Instead, he ignored the gazes of the other members of the Hu family and walked straight into the main hall of the courtyard. He saw Young Master Hu sitting at the head of the table, leisurely sipping tea and chatting with his mother.
"Who are you? How did you enter my Hu family?"
Young Master Hu suddenly saw two strange men enter his main hall. He immediately stood up and shouted!
Hearing his shout, the hidden guard of the Hu Family, who had been hiding in the dark, reluctantly stood up and pretended to raise his sword, blocking Faang Cheng and Yu Yien's path.
In fact, when they were following behind Butler Hu just now, these hidden guards had already seen everything clearly from the shadows! However, they all believed in Steward Hu's character, and they were all very dissatisfied with this Young Master of the Hu family. Thus, they did not come out to stop Faang Cheng and the others from entering! However, now that Young Master Hu had discovered the invasion of Faang Cheng and the others, if these hidden guards did not come out soon, it would be difficult to explain the situation.
"Who are we? Of course, we are here to pay our respects to Patriarch Hu!"
Faang Cheng's face remained expressionless, but his voice carried a hint of a smile, as if he was mocking Young Master Hu and the others.
"I pay my respects to that old man... to my father?"
Hearing that Faang Cheng and the others were here to pay their respects to his father, Young Master Hu looked at them in confusion. He had only informed some of his close friends and family about his father's death. However, the two people in front of him were obviously people he did not know!
"How did you know about my father's death? Besides... I don't think I invited you two to pay my respects to my Hu family. After all, not everyone can pay their respects to my father!"
Hu Young Master spoke rudely as he stood there glaring at Faang Cheng and Yu Yien. It was obvious that he was trying to chase them away.
"I was the one who told Young Master Fang about the death of the Old Patriarch. Young Master Fang and Old Patriarch Hu had met once, but I happened to meet Young Master Fang today and mentioned the death of the Old Patriarch. That's why Young Master Fang wanted to pay his respects to the Old Patriarch! Young Master, the visitor is a guest. The old patriarch has passed away, and someone has come to pay his respects... Isn't that a good thing? Why did you stop him? "
At this moment, Butler Hu walked in from the entrance of the main hall and said to Young Master Hu righteously.
"Steward Hu? Why are you back again? Didn't I say that the steward of our Hu family is no longer you? Don't stay in our Hu family anymore!"
When Young Master Hu saw Butler Hu, he was extremely excited. He shouted and wanted to chase Butler Hu away.
