727 Intense Argument
“But you, after taking the treasure, let my grandfather live in the West courtyard, and you didn’t even send a guard except for the manservants who serve people. Boss Zhou, what is your purpose for doing this? Do you need me to say it directly?”
Zhou Xingfa’s face turned red and white at Lin yuelan’s words. He was angry and embarrassed.
He had planned for Lin Deshan to be assassinated.
However, it was wrong not to send guards to protect Lin Deshan from the beginning, but it was not a problem of losing face, but a problem of breaking one’s promise and conduct.
Zhou Xingfa couldn’t argue with lin yuelan, so he shouted at Lin Deshan, “Lin Deshan, are you going to let a junior humiliate me in front of you? ”
Lin Deshan did not protect Zhou Xingfa like he used to. instead, he asked seriously, ” brother zhou, did you really not send anyone to protect me that night? ”
Zhou Xingfa’s eyes were a little dazed by lin Deshan’s question. He tried to cover up his guilty conscience by speaking loudly, ” Lin Deshan, we’ve known each other for 30 to 40 years. Don’t you know me? Don’t you trust me? You must know that twenty years ago, it was me who disregarded my own safety and the safety of my clan to hide you in the zhou family and save your life.
“Is this how you repay your benefactor today? You’re going to let a junior humiliate me like this, and you even doubt my character?”
Zhou Xingfa did not answer lin Deshan’s question directly. He only used the favor Lin Deshan owed him twenty years ago to force Lin Deshan to believe him.
Lin Deshan was no longer the fool he was when he was a young man.
Seeing Zhou Xingfa’s guilty look, Lin yuelan’s words were true.
Disappointment flashed in Lin Deshan’s eyes.
Twenty years of deep friendship was actually unable to resist the temptation of benefits brought by a thousand-year-old ginseng. He just wanted to let others slaughter him in that courtyard.
Seeing Lin Deshan’s distrustful expression, Zhou Xingfa immediately felt like he had nothing to lose.
He admitted loudly, ” yes, I didn’t send any guards to protect you because I had the intention of letting people assassinate you. But, I really didn’t do that and sent six guards to protect you, right?”
” Yes, you did send six guards after that, but before you did, did you know what happened in the small courtyard where grandfather lived? ” Lin yuelan didn’t want to give up.
Zhou Xingfa was a little confused. He asked, ” what happened? ”
The guards he had sent over reported that Lin Deshan was safe and that no one had come to assassinate him. “Someone has sent royal guards to secretly abduct grandfather.” Lin yuelan said coldly, “If it weren’t for the people I sent to protect Grandpa in secret, I’m afraid that your auction hall wouldn’t be so lively today, right? ”
Lin Deshan and Zhou Xingfa’s eyes were filled with surprise when lin yuelan told them about it.
Such a thing happened in the West courtyard?
Oh, that’s right, the third Prince was determined to get the thousand-year ginseng.
When he found out that the thousand-year-old ginseng belonged to Lin Deshan, he probably already had the intention of kidnapping Lin Deshan and forcing him to hand over the ginseng.
However, he had never thought that the person he sent out would fail. Therefore, the next day, he came to the zhou mansion, wanting to use his status to force lin Deshan to hand it over.
But who would have thought that a few people would suddenly appear and completely ruin the third Prince’s plan?
Therefore, the third prince and the others planned to get the thousand-year-old ginseng at the auction.
They thought that as long as they reported their identity, everyone would give in.
However, once again, they didn’t expect that a few more obstacles would appear and oppose the prince at every turn.
Hence, he set his sights on Lin Deshan again. However, he did not expect Lin Deshan to disappear along the way, and their plan failed completely.
This explained why the third Prince wanted to vent his anger on Zhou Xingfa.
His plans had failed time and time again. In the end, he was afraid that the precious ginseng would fly away.
However, Zhou Xingfa didn’t think that he was in the wrong.
He said, ” lin Deshan, I just lost my mind for a moment. Do you really have to do this? Aren’t you standing there perfectly fine? Then what’s the point of pursuing the past?”
