Chapter 368 Relationship Progress
An hour later, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky above Zhao's house.
At this time, the Du family was a busy scene.
They pulled up white cloth and hung up white banners, and filial sons and grandsons also prepared chili peppers in case they couldn't cry when the time came.
The old patriarch of the Du family was lying on the bed, dying.
Several sons stayed by his bed, waiting for his last breath.
No one offered to save their father, and everything happened in silence.
They have been waiting for this moment to come so that they can start arranging the funeral tomorrow.
That night, Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing stayed at Zhao's house overnight at Zhao Anmin's enthusiastic invitation.
Zhao Ziqing called Wang Chudong and looked back to find that Lin Fan had taken off his shirt and was sitting on the sofa.
"Why don't you go and rest?"
Zhao Ziqing asked casually.
"I'm waiting for you. How can I sleep without you?"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
When they were in the villa, because Wang Chudong was there, Zhao Ziqing always let him stay in the guest room downstairs.
But tonight was different, the two of them were alone at the Zhao family's house...
Lin Fan thought about the meaningful look Zhao Anmin gave him when he left.
"Are you planning on going upstairs tonight?"
Zhao Ziqing realized his intention.
"Do you think I'm going to let you stay in the guest room? Ziqing, don't be like this. At home, you let me stay in the guest room because Wang Chudong was there. Now here, you still let me stay in the guest room? Are you looking down on me?"
Lin Fan pretended to be unhappy and said.
"I don't look down on you."
Zhao Ziqing was amused. In fact, she just asked casually because she had not yet fully adapted to the progress of her relationship with Lin Fan.
"Then you are questioning whether I am a normal man."
Lin Fan continued to argue.
"How can a normal man tolerate such questioning!"
"I'm going upstairs to take a shower first."
Zhao Ziqing didn't want to say anything more, so she just said a few words and went straight upstairs. Her words implicitly acknowledged that Lin Fan could follow her upstairs.
"hey-hey."
Lin Fan smiled and followed her, saying, "I'm going to take a shower too."
Then came the sound of running water and some indescribable sounds from upstairs.
The next morning, Lin Fan went downstairs first and came to the restaurant, where he found Zhao Anmin already having breakfast.
"I have news to tell you. Old Man Du has passed away."
Zhao Anmin looked at Lin Fan and said calmly.
"Oh? So fast?"
Lin Fan seemed a little surprised, then looked at Zhao Anmin and asked, "Your old rival is gone, and you don't seem particularly happy?"
"I thought I would be very happy, but in fact, I was not as happy as I imagined."
Zhao Anmin responded with a wry smile.
"Although this old man is hateful, it still makes me feel bad when I think about him lying on his hospital bed and no one really caring about his life or death."
"Looking at it from another perspective, it might be a relief for him."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore and eat."
After breakfast, Lin Fan packed some food for Zhao Ziqing. About half an hour later, the two drove away from Zhao's house.
When I arrived at the company, Shen Wei was already waiting there.
"How did you come?"
Lin Fan asked casually.
"I was about to attend a funeral and it was still early, so I came over to take a look," Shen Wei explained.
"Funeral? Whose? Old Man Du's?"
Lin Fan asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes...Brother Fan, do you know about this?"
"I don't know him, but can I come with you?"
"Huh? What are you going to do?"
"Don't think too much, I just want to have a free meal."
"Okay, let's go together."
Shen Wei nodded in agreement, then said, "By the way, my father invited you to visit our house again."
"Let's talk about it when we have time."
"No, he told me to ask you clearly when I see you."
"Then let's do it this weekend."
"it is good."
Not long after, Xu Kai also arrived, and the three of them started chatting while drinking tea.
Around ten in the morning, Lin Fan and Shen Wei left the office and headed to the Du family's funeral. On the way, Shen Wei briefly explained to Lin Fan the feud between the Zhao and Du families and why this funeral was so important.
There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Zhao family and the Du family. In the past, when the Zhao family was in trouble, the Du family not only did not lend a hand, but took the opportunity to add insult to injury and almost destroyed the Zhao family.
However, Zhao Anmin later made a comeback and took revenge on the Du family. The hatred between the two families was deep-rooted.
"The ten famous families are actually divided into several different factions, and things in this circle are complicated." Shen Wei said as he lit a cigarette.
"Just like our Shen family, we also have our own enemies."
"So what's the relationship between the Shen family and the Du family?"
"We're not close, after all, we're all in the same circle. If there really was a close relationship, it wouldn't be me who came, but my father or the older generation of my family."
"Too."
"Brother Fan, what are you going to do? The Du family is least likely to invite someone from the Zhao family, and you have a close relationship with the Zhao family."
"I want to personally confirm the cause of death of this old man."
"Didn't they say he died of illness?"
"Haha, things may not be that simple."
"You mean there's another reason? Wow, that's big news."
Shen Wei seemed very excited.
"Tell your grandfather to be careful when you get back, and remember to always carry the protective magic weapon I gave him last time."
Lin Fan did not explain in detail, but just reminded Shen Wei to be careful.
"Why? Is there someone trying to harm my grandfather?"
"It's possible that the death of the old man from the Du family might not be due to natural causes."
"You mean he might have been murdered?"
Shen Wei was shocked.
"There's a high probability that we'll know the truth after meeting him."
Lin Fan wanted to confirm the true cause of death of the Du family elder, whether it was truly an illness or a conspiracy. At the same time, he also planned to check on the older generation of the Shen family, just in case.
"Murder... This is truly shocking. Stories about wealthy families are always so dramatic."
Shen Wei sighed.
“If the news of the murder of the Du family elder spreads, the whole Ancheng will be shaken.”
After arriving at the Du family's house and giving their names, they were led to the mourning hall. A number of people had already gathered in the hall, and the Du family members were gathered around the coffin, pretending to cry.
Lin Fan watched their performance and found it somewhat comical. If they all hoped the old man would die soon, why act like this?
"Shen Wei from the Shen family has arrived."
Someone reported it.
"Let's go and have a look."
Lin Fan said softly.
"it is good."
Shen Wei led Lin Fan to the coffin.
"Uncle Du, please accept my condolences."
"Thanks for caring."
While Shen Wei was talking with the Du family members, Lin Fan used a special method to examine the remains in the coffin.
Soon, he frowned - the situation did not seem simple. It seemed that the situation in Ancheng was just as the old man of the Zhao family said, full of danger!
