Chapter 61

Qin Lang pressed the answer button.

An old man's hoarse voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Qin, I wonder if you are free, let's meet?"

Qin Lang smiled, "Master Zhou, I've already arrived at your door!"

……

Zhou's backyard.

This is a separate isolated courtyard, very quiet.

Tall sycamore trees are planted around it, giving the yard a unique scenery.

Mr. Zhou Huaishan has already made good tea and put it in the gazebo.

The two sat down. Mr. Zhou Huaishan took a deep look at Qin Lang, and then turned his eyes to the sycamore trees.

He murmured, "When she was still here, the sycamore tree was her favorite..."

Qin Lang knew who she was that Mr. Zhou was talking about.

Zhang Nanzhi's mother, Zhou Binghe, is also Mr. Zhou Huaishan's most beloved youngest daughter.

Qin Lang picked up the tea in front of him calmly and sipped it slightly.

The bitter, yet tea-flavored liquid permeates the mouth, making people like it very much.

"That day, I stopped Zhao Hong from continuing. In fact, there was a reason!"

Mr. Zhou sighed and said.

Qin Lang nodded, "I know, that's why Nan Zhi wanted to ask you to clarify after the incident, but I stopped her!"

Zhou Huaishan took another deep look at Qin Lang.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said, "Actually, Zhao Hong is right. The death of Nan Zhi's parents was not an accident. They actually committed suicide!"

"It was only later that we deliberately faked the scene of the accident in order to convince Nan Zhi of all this!"

"We kept this matter a secret for three years, but unexpectedly, we couldn't hide it today!"

Qin Lang frowned and did not interrupt the old man.

Mr. Zhou picked up a cup of tea and drank it down.

Putting down the teacup, his eyes became strange and sad.

"Mr. Qin, have you heard about the Xijiang Changming Bridge?"

Zhou Huaishan spoke.

Qin Lang's hand, which was sipping tea lightly, suddenly paused.

Xijiang, Changming Bridge...

This matter, he knows.

Three years ago, he had just come to Mingcheng University as a freshman.

And that year, Mingcheng encountered a heavy rain that was rare in a century, and water from the West River poured into the Tuojiang River.

Let this tributary of the Tuojiang River, which runs through most of the city of Mingcheng, become a time bomb that submerges the entire city of Mingcheng.

But fortunately, this threat did not last long, and the rain subsided and everything returned to normal.

"That year's flood, the reason why it receded was because of mountains and ice lotus!"

When Zhou Huaishan said this, tears welled up in his inexplicably cloudy eyes.

"The Xijiang Changming Bridge project was actually the independent project of the Zhou family earlier. After all, Nanshan Real Estate was still in the growth stage at that time, and they could not afford such a large amount of work!"

"Our Zhou family has already developed a very mature model under my hands, but when everything was going according to plan, a big problem arose in the project!"

"Our staff who were working on the construction site of the Xijiang Changming Bridge just happened to encounter a flood in the Xijiang River. Moreover, when the pile foundation of the Changming Bridge was laid, no matter whether it was throwing stones or using other methods Failed!"

Mr. Zhou continued, "This has lasted for almost three full months, and the construction period is about to be delayed. Moreover, the Changming Bridge project is also the key to the rise of my Zhou family!"

"I will fight with my back, and there is no retreat. If I succeed, the Zhou family may still be able to maintain the name of the century-old family, but if I fail, the Zhou family will be eaten away by competitors, and there will be no bones left!"

Having said that, Zhou Huaishan paused.

He glanced at Qin Lang, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "On a rainy night one month later, I came back from the construction site. Because of the unsatisfactory project, I was exhausted physically and mentally. Before I got to the room, I fell on the yard It's asleep inside!"

"Just under that jujube tree, I had a dream. In the dream, there was a man in red clothes, but his face couldn't be seen clearly. Tell me!"

"It is said that the Changming Bridge project in Xijiang has attracted a dissatisfaction from a powerful person in Xijiang. It refuses to be built, so the pile foundation can't even be drilled, and new piles need to be drilled!"

Qin Lang's pupils shrank.

He had heard of the name "raw pile driving".

Since ancient times, there has been this inexplicable atmosphere.

When a huge project is to be built, and various problems occur frequently, resulting in no progress in the project, it is necessary to sacrifice a living person to ensure that the project goes smoothly.

Generally, normal engineering is carried out, but it is nothing more than three animals offering sacrifices to heaven.

However, living piles are used to use living people.

According to ancient records, piling first appeared in the Qin Dynasty.

Back then, Qin Shihuang burned books and robbed Confucian scholars, but it was just a gimmick.

One is to curb his brutal Confucianism, and the other is to use the lives of those Confucian scholars as a sacrifice for him to build the Afang Palace and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

However, to a large extent, these are all fabricated in unofficial history, which cannot be counted.

Right now, Qin Lang was unavoidably horrified when he heard Mr. Zhou tell about the incident.

Mr. Zhou smiled bitterly.

"You guessed it right. The reason why Changming Bridge was successfully built was because of the laying of the piles. The two people used to drive the piles... were Nanzhi's parents, my youngest daughter and son-in-law. They along with the piles Together, they were buried deep in the depths of the Xijiang River!"

Speaking of it.

The muddy tears in Zhou Huaishan's eyes couldn't stop flowing down.

"After the piles were laid, the Xijiang River gradually returned to calm, the flood receded, and the project went smoothly. We successfully completed the construction of the Changming Bridge before the construction schedule!"

Qin Lang didn't speak.

Mr. Zhou was dreaming under the jujube tree. The man in the dream who was wearing red clothes but couldn't see his face clearly should be the spirit body of the jujube tree. It was it who showed Mr. Zhou a way.

"In the beginning, I was firmly opposed to piling up piles!"

Mr. Zhou continued, "But for some reason, the news that the project is stagnant and that piles will be laid has reached Binghe and Chengshan's ears!"

"That night, Binghe and Chengshan came to find me and asked me to be a living pile. I refused, but Binghe took out a diagnosis certificate..."

"Advanced cancer!"

"The doctor said that the life expectancy is less than two months at most!"

Qin Lang was stunned again.

"Chengshan doesn't want Binghe to leave alone, he is willing to die together, and before they die, their only wish is to hope that Nanzhi will never know about this, and hope that Nanzhi can always live a healthy and happy life!"

Qin Lang was silent.

Yes.

If Zhang Nanzhi really found out about such a big matter, would she be able to bear it?
Parents died together, the key is that they still have a great relationship with the Zhou family.

How will Zhang Nanzhi face the grandparent-grandson relationship between her and Zhou Huaishan in the future?
"Ugh!"

Zhou Huaishan sighed softly, "I'm old, I don't have many jobs left anyway, I don't care what Nan Zhi thinks of me, even if she hates me, I don't care, I'm just worried that Nan Zhi won't be able to accept it after knowing this!"

"Because there is something wrong with her body, that cat soul..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Huaishan suddenly got up and bowed to Qin Lang, "Anyway, I still want to thank Mr. Qin for helping Nan Zhi relieve the trouble caused by the cat soul!"

Qin Lang waved his hand, "You're welcome!"

Mr. Zhou sat down and continued, "After Bing He and Cheng Shan left, I asked someone to design a car accident scene, and then I informed Nan Zhi..."

"Mr. Qin, the reason I told you all this today is that I hope that you can tell Nan Zhi for me, Grandpa, I'm sorry for her!"
