Chapter 489
As the patriarch of such a large Shen family, and Shen Haoting is the first son of the patriarchal family, if there is no accident, in the future the position of patriarch of the Shen family patriarchal family will also be Shen Haoting's in many years. In many years' time, it will be Shen Haoting's.
And the young Shen Haoting was so full of vigour.
In the first 30 years of his life, he had always believed in one thing. If he was strong enough, he could control his own destiny.
This is what he thought, and this is what he did.
Even in retrospect. At that time, it was as if he had inexhaustible energy, as if he was a perpetual motion machine that would never run out of energy.
He tried desperately to sharpen himself up and make himself strong.
In the end, after years of hard work, Shen Haoting became the most outstanding leader of the entire Zong family.
And it was at this time, when Shen Haoting felt as if he had taken control of his destiny. Instead, that event suddenly happened.
It was as if his comfortable life had been disrupted all of a sudden, and Shen Haoting felt panicked and overwhelmed.
So much so that he ended up having to resort to a lot of medication to be able to sleep peacefully.
Since then, Shen Haoting has been questioning his own views more and more.
He was already so powerful, but why was he still unable to control his own destiny?
Instead, it was others who could so easily change their own destiny, and the destiny of their family.
Shen Haoting became sad and became filled with anger ......
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Haoting slowly came back from his past thoughts. He realized that when he was remembering, he had subconsciously used too much force on his hands, and inadvertently cracked the marble coffee table in his hands.
Shen Haoting looked around and hurriedly gathered his composure, still putting on a look of unperturbedness.
He was in a position to conceal himself, both his joy and his anger. After he arrived in this beautiful Mediterranean city, it all began to be concealed.
The warm sea breeze. Gradually, it brought Shen Haoting's thoughts back to a distant time many years ago.
He remembered that he and Jiang Hao's mother had met on a warm enough day, by a breezy lake.
The two had met at first sight. They had a good talk and ended up falling in love not long afterwards.
Shen Haoting still remembers that after he announced his love for Jiang Hao's mother, he was strongly opposed by his own father.
But his father was right to object. The Shen family was dangerous, as dangerous as a whirlpool of currents in the ocean that could swallow a huge ship, and Jiang Hao's mother was so ordinary that she was obviously no different from a scull in this dangerous whirlpool.
Even his own father once asserted that Jiang Hao's mother would not live in the Shen family for more than three years and would leave of her own accord.
This was his own father's prediction, and it was also the common inference of the entire Shen family, after all, it was clear to everyone. How difficult it was to live among this family.
You had to face the spears from within the clan. You have to struggle against the covetousness of the external Shen family branches, and the inquisitiveness of forces of all shapes and sizes.
But what is the end result?
It was clear. His own father was wrong, the whole Zong family was wrong.
Jiang Hao's mother not only persevered in the end. And she even added a first-born grandson to the Shen family!
It was the day of Jiang Hao's full moon, and the happiest day for the entire Zong family.
And it was also on that day, at that moment, that the sky changed abruptly and the Zong family was about to tumble.
It was clear to Shen Haoting's father that the Zong family's fortunes were about to run out after all.
At that moment, he thought of his daughter-in-law, Jiang Hao's mother.
He told Jiang Hao's mother to take Jiang Hao, who was just a month old, away from the Zong family, away from Chu Jiang, and never to return.
Perhaps at the time, this revered lifelong master felt that the Shen family would not survive this disaster ......
Shen Haoting wiped a handful of tears from the corner of his eyes, trying desperately to hide his emotions, but no matter how hard he tried to restrain them, the tears couldn't be stopped from gushing out.
A hero can also shed tears, just before he reaches the point of sadness!
Shen Haoting's lips opened with difficulty and he whispered to himself, "Seventy-two mouths ......"
Shen Haoting's words did not fall, his right hand clenched his fist, fierce fist smashed into the marble table that naturally appeared cracked.
The stone table was instantly turned into a mass of rubble with the sound of "bang".
The sound was so sudden that it startled the guards in the villa.
Almost instantly, seven or eight men in white scurried out from all directions and came directly to Shen Haoting's side.
"Mr. Shen, what's happening?" One man asked alertly, and his eyes crossed from time to time from all around.
Shen Haoting clapped his hands and slowly got up and said, "Nothing, this table is broken, you should find someone to clean it up."
After he finished speaking, Shen Haoting walked straight to the villa, leaving a few guards behind him looking at each other in disbelief.
And half an hour later, in an airport on the edge of the city, a light private plane flew into the sky at breakneck speed.
Chapter 490
Chu Jiang, in Xu Tianlin's private villa.
What happened in Ye Yunjie's company made Xu Tianlin feel humiliated.
For the first time in his life, he had been threatened by a woman with a knife.
If such a thing were to get out, his reputation as the son of the first family in Chujiang would probably be tarnished.
Xu Tianlin wandered back and forth in the living room of the villa, the more he recalled what had just happened, the more annoyed he felt. And every time he felt irritated, he casually copied an object and smashed it to pieces.
"Damn it, wait for me, sooner or later I will pay this all back ......" Xu Tianlin lit a cigarette and casually dropped the lighter.
And at that moment, a burst of applause suddenly came from behind Xu Tianlin.
Xu Tianlin was taken aback by the applause and fiercely grabbed an object with his hand and aimed it in the direction where the sound came from.
"Haha. What just happened was indeed annoying, ah, a big man in the hall, being pinned down by a woman. Begging for mercy like a dog, I'm blushing for you too." The man chuckled.
Xu Tianlin looked at the man and his guard couldn't help but drop a little, casually tossing the things in his hands aside and saying disdainfully, "You think this is funny, don't you? How did you get in? I have a security guard outside and the door to my room is locked ......"
After Xu Tianlin said this, he suddenly felt a hint of something wrong and hurriedly looked at the man with a horrified face and said nervously, "How do you ...... know about this? This ...... just now but only three of us were present, you ......"
Xu Tianlin immediately felt a hint of horror, because just now when he was coerced by Ye Yunjie with a knife, it was clear that only he, Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie were present, there was no way anyone else could have known about it.
Then how did this guy know? Could it be that he had clairvoyance?
And how did this guy appear out of nowhere? So much so that his presence here had not alerted the few security guards outside the villa and the security system he had set up outside the villa.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianlin became more and more curious and nervous about this man in front of him.
Because this man was not only a ghost, but also seemed to know everything.
Could he be unpredictable? Or perhaps he could read minds?
The man laughed and walked towards the wine cabinet without seeing anything. Picking up a bottle of red wine, he poured himself a glass and tasted it before saying, "What, are you surprised how I know? Oh, me, everywhere!"
With these last words, this man spoke with a single word, and his words carried a bit of kingly dominance.
This person was no other than Zhang Xiangyu.
He sat down on the leather sofa in Xu Tianlin's house with his glass of wine, crossed his legs and said, "Just now you gave me up, didn't you?"
After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiangyu's eyes looked at Xu Tianlin in a wooden manner, and his words just now were just like questioning him.
This made Xu Tianlin nervous and hurriedly explained: "I ...... I actually just ...... did it to save my life, that woman put a knife to my neck, if I didn't give an honest account, who knows what the consequences would be, not to mention that If I had an accident, wouldn't your plan also receive impact?"
Xu Tianlin feigned calmness and squeezed out a smile. In his heart, he was desperate for the other party to know that he had a reason for doing so.
Zhang Xiangyu looked at Xu Tianlin indifferently for a while, his face remained expressionless and he did not move, but even so, Xu Tianlin still felt a cool breeze run through his body, as if he was going to be frozen at that moment.
He looked at the other party's cold expression, could no longer laugh, and hurriedly said nervously again, "I ...... really didn't mean to, I was just too scared, that woman was much more powerful than I thought, I was afraid that if I didn't give an honest account, she would really do something to me ......"
Xu Tianlin's nervous tone tensed up, and his body involuntarily trembled, with a few pleading tone, "I. I really know I'm wrong, please let me go, I promise it won't happen again, I really ......"
The other party just a look. It was enough to scare Xu Tianlin into begging for forgiveness bitterly.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiangyu snorted with laughter, the feeling, as if he was mocking a comical clown, laughing wildly at Xu Tianlin.
"Hahahaha ...... look at you, go look at you yourself? Did I say anything? Haha, what a scaredy-cat, why did I find someone like you to work with?"
Zhang Xiangyu did not hide in the slightest his heart's contempt for Xu Tianlin. It all happened to be said out.
After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing and continued, "Forget it, I was just teasing you, so what if you give me up? Am I afraid of that? Even if you give me up, what can they do to me? Oh, it's impossible, that bunch of trash. Just like you, they're all just a bunch of wine bags."
Zhang Xiangyu's words first made Xu Tianlin breathe a long sigh of relief, but then he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh in the face of those words.
Admittedly, Zhang Xiangyu's words were so unpleasant that they even made Xu Tianlin, who was so well brought up that no one dared to contradict him, feel angry and scratch his heart.
In all his years, he had almost never met anyone who dared to insult him in such a way and did not avoid himself in the slightest.
In his heart, Xu Tianlin was really angry, because Zhang Xiangyu was treating him like this, completely not treating him as a human being.
But what made him even angrier was that even though he was annoyed and even had the intention to kill this unbridled guy in front of him now, he was still helpless and did not even dare to contradict him.
The reason was simple. Xu Tianlin knew exactly how powerful this man was.
He was able to bring down the City South project without a sound, so it probably wouldn't take much effort to screw himself up.
So this kind of person, one could not afford to mess with. He is like the god of death, only obey him and go against his will. He can kill you anytime, anywhere.
Xu Tianlin was so embarrassed that he laughed with me and said, "Oh, I ...... know you are teasing me, I was just joking with you too. Let's go partner, how can I be afraid ......"
"Well shut up!" Before Xu Tianlin could finish his words, suddenly Zhang Xiangyu's face sank and he coldly interrupted Zhang Xiangyu's words, "I don't like to hear nonsense!"
Xu Tianlin immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say a word more.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiangyu said, "This time you dared to give me up, in fact I could have killed you because of this, but you still have some use value, so I'll keep you for now. And don't you want to take revenge on Ye Yunjie, there's a good opportunity for that right now, I'm here today to talk to you about it!"
