But still, Hai Xiaotang could not understand…
“What good does it do to mount an attack against us by buying this house?”
“Perhaps he thinks there is something hidden here.” Dongfang Yu suggested.
It made sense to Hai Xiaotang, “Right, he definitely thinks Grandpa hid something in the house!”
“Even if it is not hidden in here, what he’s doing is using the Zhang Family to make a move against Dongfang.”
“And, this is just the beginning…” Hai Xiaotang continued.
Dongfang Yu looked at her appreciatively, “Yes, this is only the beginning.”
Emotionally, Hai Xiaotang was downcast, “He is in the dark, we are in the light, so we have no idea what he can do. Moreover, his power is huge, so it would be relatively easy for him to target Dongfang, right?”
“Dongfang is not as vulnerable as you think. Besides, he dare not make a big fuss about it, for he is also afraid we might engage him in an existential fight. Thus, he can only secretly perform certain actions and will not make them very explicit. And now that we are aware of him, there is no problem as long as we stay vigilant. After all, his target is only Grandpa.”
“Isn’t he worried that Grandpa has told us everything?” Hai Xiaotang questioned back.
“He might worry, but he is more certain that Grandpa won’t reveal anything. Because Grandpa is a very considerate person, he will assume that Grandpa won’t say anything in order to protect his family. If not, why would Grandpa hide it all alone?”
“Additionally…” Dongfang Yu paused for a moment before continuing. “In fact, Grandpa does not know what the so-called secret is.”
Hai Xiaotang was surprised, “He doesn’t?”
“Yes. Huo Jun’s son mailed a chip to Grandpa, but it could not be unlocked. The privacy technology of the chip was top-notch in the world. If the password is entered incorrectly multiple times, the content inside will be automatically destroyed. So he knows that we don’t know the secret inside.”
Hai Xiaotang immediately understood, “So, he just wants to recover the chip?”
“You could say so.”
“Why don’t we simply hand it over to him?” Wouldn’t they be safe by doing so?
Dongfang Yu gave a light smile, “It’s not that simple. People are always suspicious. Even if he knows we don’t know what’s inside it, he would still doubt us, afeared that we might know something. Thus, even if we gave it to him, he would still not stop until he has taken us all out.”
The expression on Hai Xiaotang’s face assailed suddenly.
After a momentary daze, she hesitated and asked: “Dongfang Yu, do you think…Your family members didn’t actually commit suicide back then, but were killed by…”
Dongfang Yu was suddenly taken aback!
His face darkened: “That’s a possibility!”
After all, back then, that person thought that someone from the Dongfang family had taken the chip and planned to eliminate them stealthily.
As a result, after finding out that it wasn’t them, he stopped the slaughter.
Maybe Huo Jun’s family being wiped out also had something to do with this person. How else could they all have been killed without leaving a single survivor?
Just when he thought the secret would be buried forever, he never expected that there was still a survivor.
Moreover, he did not expect that Huo Jun had given the chip to his son back then.
Therefore, knowing that the chip appeared again, he felt uneasy and started another round of killings.
Hai Xiaotang also guessed all of these. She was filled with resentment immediately, “Huo Jun’s son is so despicable! Surely he was the one who leaked the information about the chip. If not, that person would not have known about it! It wasn’t my Grandpa who exterminated his entire family. How dare he frame my Grandpa!”
“Perhaps he doesn’t want to see anyone having it good.” Dongfang Yu explained.
