Hearing that the seriously injured person was also Xiao Yi's fiancée, the Zhu family's grandfather and grandson's faces changed slightly.

"cough……"

Tsuminako coughed and quickly turned her head to hide something.

"What, are you surprised?"

Xiao Yi observed the expressions of Zhu Yinghua and the other person.

"Master Zhu, I think you should know that I went to see Li Jia, but this matter has nothing to do with them."

"Ah."

Zhu Yinghua nodded, looking a little serious.

"Then old patriarch, please help me analyze who is behind this?"

Xiao Yi said directly.

"Mr. Xiao, do you know why I am so eager to invite you to my house today?"

Zhu Yinghua asked back.

"First, it's because of your friendship with Zifan. I've heard of you for a long time. Secondly..."

"All ears."

Xiao Yi said.

"We might as well speak frankly."

"Right on my mind."

Xiao Yi responded, and Tsuminako on the side secretly made some preparations.

"In fact, I can guess that Mr. Xiao may have a misunderstanding of my Zhu family."

Zhu Yinghua looked serious.

"Zifan came back early in the morning and asked me if it was me or his father who hurt your fiancée."

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Zifan again. The latter nodded in confirmation, quite calm.

"I can tell you responsibly that this matter has nothing to do with my Zhu family."

Zhu Yinghua spoke again, his words powerfully.

"I can also swear on the future fate of the Zhu family!"

"hiss……"

Xiao Yi was a little surprised.

He stared at Zhu Yinghua without any concealment. Their eyes met. Both of them had extremely strong auras. Neither of them blinked as they just stared at each other.

He naturally saw Zhu Yinghua's condition.

"Why... do I feel that Zhu Yinghua is indeed fine?"

Xiao Yi muttered in his heart.

“Brother Xiao, after seeing you this morning, I was also afraid that it was really my father and grandfather who did it, so I came back to confirm it as soon as possible.

This matter really has nothing to do with my Zhu family. I have discussed it with my grandfather, and he is worried that you may have misunderstood, so he wants you to come and explain it in person."

Zhu Zifan also spoke, very sincerely.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly. Based on this scene alone, could he really confirm that what happened yesterday had nothing to do with the Zhu family?

Even if what happened yesterday didn't matter, what about Zhu Qi's sudden death? What about the Taiping Society?

"To be honest, what Patriarch Li Ming and I were thinking of was indeed your Zhu family."

Xiao Yi simply admitted it and continued to observe the condition of the grandfather and grandson.

"Actually... this is normal, because if I were in another position, the first person I would think of would be the Li family."

Zhu Yinghua was not angry, but rather very calm.

"But... Patriarch Li also said that you shouldn't be so foolish. Knowing my relationship with Mayor Huo, and even knowing my more secretive background, you shouldn't dare to set up a trap for me and the Li family to fight to the death!

It seems that you two really appreciate each other."

Xiao Yi said again.

Hearing this, Zhu Yinghua's expression obviously changed again.

"I don't know if Mr. Xiao knows the history of Hong Kong City, or the history of my Zhu family, his Li family, or even the Kong family."

Zhu Yinghua spoke slowly, seemingly changing the subject.

"If we leave aside the slightly weaker Kong family, all the conflicts and competitions between the Zhu family and the Li family over the past hundred years have been exposed.

Besides being because both families are rational enough, it’s also because we are well aware of the ways of survival in this place!

Simply put, there are some balances that cannot be broken, at least not at the moment!

Once it is broken, Hong Kong City will inevitably experience a huge shock. This is by no means an exaggeration by an old man, nor is it just for my family. "

"Old Patriarch... what you said is true..."

Xiao Yi nodded, agreeing with this.

The special environment and historical reasons of the port city are indeed different from mainland metropolises such as China Overseas.

"What I want to say is that there is a pair of hands in the dark that are fanning the flames. They want to shake up Hong Kong City and want my Zhu family, the Li family, and even Mr. Xiao, to fight to the death!

Now it seems that the person behind this scheme is also the one who hurt your fiancée!"

Zhu Yinghua affirmed.

"Well...according to Patriarch Zhu, are there any people who are suspicious?"

Xiao Yi asked.

After the conversation, some of the speculations in his mind were reduced a lot.

After all, he didn't quite believe that Zhu Yinghua could completely deceive him.

“This…really not…this is the most terrifying thing.

I invited you here to resolve your suspicions and misunderstandings, and also to remind you that since this matter has nothing to do with my Zhu family and the Li family, the person behind this should not be underestimated. "

Zhu Yinghua continued.

"If you ask me, it's still those foreign forces hiding in Hong Kong City who are determined to destroy Hong Kong City and China!"

Zhu Zifan was indignant. He had discussed this idea with Zhu Yinghua a long time ago.

Hearing this, Tsuminako suddenly lowered her head. Zhu Zifan didn't say it explicitly, but she knew very well in her heart that there must be the shadow of some people from the island country involved.

Even if it didn't happen now, the war made her extremely ashamed and uneasy.

Xiao Yi saw something and took the initiative to pick up some food for Tsu Minako. He looked at Zhu Zifan again and said, "Brother Zhu, do you have any evidence?"

"This……"

Zhu Zifan's expression suddenly changed and his eyes became a little evasive.

Xiao Yi naturally saw this, and Tsuminako who was standing next to him also noticed that there seemed to be something going on.

Xiao Yi retracted his gaze and fell on Zhu Yinghua.

Zhu Yinghua looked a little ugly. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Xiao, now that we have come to this point, I will not hide it from you."

Zhu Yinghua slowly put down his wine glass.

"You said."

Xiao Yi nodded in response, guessing something in his heart.

"I have a nephew named Zhu Congwen. He...used to have some connections with a certain external force hiding in Hong Kong City."

Zhu Yinghua said slowly.

Zhu Congwen?

Xiao Yi was stunned. Zhu Qi’s father, Zhu Congwen?

Before he even started talking about this topic, Zhu Yinghua took the initiative to confess?

Did he know he would ask and was backing down to advance, or was it just a coincidence?

Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and Xiao Yi was unable to make a judgment for a while.

"Why, is Zhu Congwen ambitious, or has he been bribed and bewitched by someone?"

Xiao Yi asked, also wanting to know more details.

“At the beginning, the other party was just an external investment company. I did have a purpose in getting to know him, and later we had a lot of business cooperation.

After that, his relationship with those people became closer and closer, and he got deeper and deeper into it. Seeing that the time was ripe, those people wanted to support him to become the head of the Zhu family, and even help him go to war with the Li family!

In fact, the ultimate goal is to completely destroy and disrupt Hong Kong City..."

Zhu Yinghua opened his mouth slowly and recounted what happened that year, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Then...what happened next?"

Xiao Yi listened carefully and stopped doubting anything for the time being.

"Afterwards, the higher-ups found out about the existence of that force and eliminated it. Zhu Congwen's crime was not too serious at the time, and he was only in prison for a dozen years. His father, my younger brother, died before he was released.

After he came out, our Zhu family could no longer tolerate him and drove him and his son Zhu Qi out completely. From then on, we no longer had any relationship with the Zhu family. "

Zhu Yinghua continued.

"So where are the father and son now?"

Xiao Yi asked deliberately, observing the changes in Zhu Yinghua's expression.

He wanted to confirm whether Zhu Yinghua would behave abnormally since he asked this question even though he knew the answer!
