Chapter 765: Chapter 765: The Startled Cheng Dong Chapter 765: Chapter 765: The Startled Cheng Dong He thought?
Cheng Dong’s mind was briefly crossed by many thoughts, yet one message was crystal clear– at this very moment, he was bound.
If the Eldest Young Master really was on his side, he definitely wouldn’t have tied him up.
Cheng Dong narrowed his eyes, “Does the Eldest Young Master know who I am?”
“Knows, the confidant of Gong Qiu.”
“Gong…” He did not even address his father as Father, directly calling Lord Gong by his name.
Moreover, in the tone, there was not a hint of admiration or respect; instead, it was filled with indifference and mockery.
Cheng Dong stared at Meng Yunzheng for a long while, then suddenly grinned fiercely, “The Eldest Young Master’s behavior today is indeed completely different from the one I met years ago. Back then, the Eldest Young Master was a naive and reserved person.”
Meng Yunzheng chuckled, “Right, otherwise, how would your dear brother have been killed by Gong Qiu?”
Cheng Dong’s face suddenly changed, he knew what Meng Yunzheng was referring to.
Back then, the Eldest Young Master’s mother, Song Xin, died at the hands of his long-time partner. Initially, the plan was to set her and Meng Yunzheng, the mother and child, on fire to kill them; later Song Xin died, but Meng Yunzheng survived.
However, he was originally very scholarly and intelligent, but because of the fire, his brain was damaged, making him have poor memory and slow reading.
Gong Qiu had not many descendants, and the only son in the house was frail and sick. It was not easy to find back a smart and healthy child, but before he could be happy, the inexplicable fire left him impaired, which was a complete joke.
How could Gong Qiu not be irate towards the confidant who set the fire?
Later, when that confidant messed up a task, Gong Qiu found an excuse and got rid of him directly.
And as his long-time partner, Cheng Dong also requested to infiltrate Lord Cheng’s side about four or five years ago.
Initially, Cheng Dong felt Lord was somewhat heartless, but as a Death Soldier, failing the mission indeed only left the path of death, and Lord’s approach was not wrong.
But now, to hear the Eldest Young Master’s implication, all this was designed by the Eldest Young Master.
He was avenging his mother.
Cheng Dong stared with wide-eyed disbelief at Meng Yunzheng, “So, have you been pretending all these years?”
“Surprising? Haven’t you also been pretending at Lord Cheng’s side for so many years?”
“But you were only ten years old at that time, facing a Lord.” Cheng Dong’s face was full of disbelief.
He couldn’t even imagine a ten-year-old child, in front of a deeply scheming Lord, could suppress the pain of losing his mother, methodically craft himself into an ignorant child, and even use the Lord’s hand to eliminate the Lord’s confidant.
Cheng Dong suddenly felt the person before him was very terrifying; should he say he is truly his father’s son?
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, his expression flashing with contempt, “That only means, you all are too foolish, being played by a ten-year-old child.”
“You…” Cheng Dong struggled a bit, but couldn’t break free.
Shu Yu reminded him from the side, “Don’t act rashly, the more you struggle, the tighter you will be tied.”
Cheng Dong, hearing her voice, suddenly remembered that it was she who had captured him.
He looked at Shu Yu, then looked at Meng Yunzheng.
“You know each other, you are in a group? You guys…” A bit chaotic, Cheng Dong’s mind began to dull due to excessive blood loss.
After a long while, he finally sorted it out, “Was Lu Shuyu deliberately exiled here? Was her saving Mister Qi on the road also intentional? She got acquainted with Lord Cheng, and didn’t use Mister Qi’s favor, she, she is your person, what are you planning?”
