The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 174 Unknown beneficiary

Ning Yuan's words stunned everyone. Yuan Mu was the first to react and asked, "Your father's friend? Do you know him well?"

"Very familiar." Ning Yuan nodded and looked at several people, "He almost watched me grow up. This time, I was able to find Yang Yang so quickly this time because of his relationship."

He said, glanced at everyone and said: "I basically know everything about him, if you want to ask anything, just ask me."

"You said he watched you grow up, so does he know about your dad buying an orangutan?"

The protection in his words was obvious, so Dancing in the Rain was not polite.He asked directly: "Since he has such a good relationship with your family, he must know these things, right?"

"No." Ning Yuan shook his head, "My father knew him after I was able to walk, so he probably didn't know about the orangutan."

"This is a possibility." Yuan Mu pondered and agreed with him, but changed the subject and asked, "Is it possible that your father told him?"

"This is also impossible." Ning Yuan quickly denied Yuan Mu's idea.He said: "My dad's character... You also know that he didn't even tell me that I couldn't walk before, let alone someone else? I don't think my dad will tell this matter no matter what, Otherwise, we have lived together for so many years, and he would have accidentally said it long ago, so why would I need to find someone to verify it!"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what he said made sense.So Yuan Mu said: "It's meaningless for us to speculate aimlessly now, how about this, let's go and look at the place where the acid was placed before."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Zhi: "You are a lawyer, so please check the situation with the government to see if it is true as Ning Yuan said, this project has already started."

After several people discussed the specific division of labor, they started to act separately the next day. Because Ning Yuan was familiar with the boss of the development company, he made up a random reason and got the information of the demolished households. Then Yuan Mu took Yang Yang and him Go door to door to find out the situation.

After running to [-] houses, Yang Yang sat on a bench by the roadside, looked at Ning Yuan and said, "It's clear now that your uncle and his company compensated the relocated households at a price lower than the market price. This project They made a lot of money!"

If it was normal, Yang Yang would not speak so harshly and mockingly, but he got up in the morning and went to more than a dozen houses, and every time he was put on face by the demolition households because of the lack of compensation, even if it is a mud bodhisattva A little bit of a temper, and now I can't bear it anymore, so I vent all my anger on Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan, not to mention other things, but he is still very accurate in judging people. Seeing that he can get acquainted with the dim sum shop, Chi Dun and the little fox within a week, you will know that he talks to people when he sees them. How high is the ability to tell nonsense.

Therefore, he didn't take Yang Yang's obvious angry words to heart, but followed his meaning and said: "It seems that there is indeed a problem. You have been running with us for so long today, and you have worked hard."

When he said this, Yang Yang didn't know how to answer.He thought of what he said before, and felt a little too much, and felt guilty instead.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ning Yuan continued: "It's not that I insist on dragging you to investigate these, nor is it that I'm protecting my shortcomings. It's true. I don't think this matter has anything to do with my uncle."

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Mu saw that the two were going back and forth, and knew that Yang Yang was definitely no match for playing tricks, so he took up the topic, "There are many people in this world, even if you are with him every day, it may not be possible As long as you know him, how can you trust your uncle so much?"

"First of all, of course it is my uncle's character and character." Ning Yuan said, looking at the flower bed aside, recalling, "My uncle is self-made, but he has a good heart. I am doing charity, and because of this it has affected me.”

"And in many things, his character has been verified. It is not difficult to say that a person is pretending, but for more than ten years, and in front of a child who has nothing to do with him, I don't think it is necessary. Bar?"

"Your analysis is also correct." Yuan Mu agreed with him, "But then again, you don't spend much time with him, and people change, and what he did before doesn't mean he will never be with him." In this way, there is no need for me to tell you about this ideal.”

"That's right." Ning Yuan nodded and said, "But I can't think of a reason for him to do this!"

"That's not easy? It's because of the money!" Yang Yang said without thinking when he heard what he said: "No one thinks there is too much money, right?!"

"Others may be because of money, but my uncle is the only one who can't." After hearing what he said, Ning Yuan still shook his head and denied it.

"Why?" Seeing him defending a person who is already a bad guy with all the evidence, Yang Yang couldn't help but said, "Is it because he is your uncle?"

"No." Ning Yuan glanced at Yang Yang, and was not angry, but said sadly: "My uncle... he was found to have advanced liver cancer some time ago."

Hearing his words, Yang Yang froze for a moment. He glanced at Yuan Mu and found that the latter was also stunned by the news.

Just when the two were silent, Ning Yuan spoke again.He said: "And as far as I know, when he knew that he had liver cancer, he had already consulted a lawyer, made a will, and donated all his property to charity after his death, so I said that it is impossible for him to go to the hospital for money. Those who do these things, because money is meaningless to him at all."

"What about his family?" Yuan Mu asked after hearing what he said.

"Uncle's parents passed away very early. He has been busy with work and never married and had children, so he has loved me so much since he was a child. It can almost be said that he regards me as his son."

As Ning Yuan spoke, he was a little choked up: "Actually, my father originally wanted me to recognize him as a godfather, and said that he would be a filial piety to my uncle when he was old, but my uncle disagreed, saying that he didn't care about the vain courtesy, and the friendship was in my heart. Yes, not on the mouth."

Yuan Mu sighed when he heard the words, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad."

"I'm fine, and my uncle can take it easy, saying that he has done everything he wants to do in his life, and he has no regrets in his life." Ning Yuan smiled at the two and said, "Because of the orangutan, I believe Everyone has an afterlife, uncle has done so many good deeds in this life, and he will definitely live well in his next life."

"It's good if you can think so." Yuan Mu nodded and said,

"Yes... I'm sorry." Yang Yang looked at Yuan Mu, and finally fixed his eyes on Ning Yuan, and apologized: "I shouldn't have said that about your uncle."

"It's okay, it's human nature." Ning Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't say it's you, even if I don't know him too well, I would think so too. Rich people, everyone's heart It's all the same impression - being rich is not benevolent, but how many people know that they don't steal or grab, they start from scratch, and the hardships they experience are beyond ordinary people's comprehension."

"Well, when people in the world look at things, they often only see the side that is good for them and conforms to their psychology. They don't care about other things at all." Yuan Mu quite agreed with his thoughts, and said that he looked up Glancing at the sky, he said, "It's getting late, let's find a place to eat and talk while eating."

"What are you talking about?" Yang Yang blinked his eyes and asked in confusion.

"We just learned from the demolition households that this project has indeed started a long time ago, as Ning Yuan guessed, and we also know that the reason why this project has been suspended is because of the issue of compensation. The developer is Ning Yuan. Uncle's company and the residents have been unable to agree, and the matter has been perfectly resolved after the acid and incident, so we suspect Ning Yuan's uncle."

"My uncle..." Hearing what he said, Ning Yuan immediately opened his mouth to refute.

Yuan Mu made a calm gesture and continued: "But we also know now that Ning Yuan's uncle has no motivation to do this at all, but his company has indeed benefited from this matter, so …Either it was a coincidence, or there was a beneficiary behind it that we don't know about, and we haven't found out yet."

"I'm inclined to the latter." After listening to his words, Yang Yang looked at Ning Yuan, "I firmly don't believe it now, there are coincidences in this world, whoever believes is stupid."

"I also agree with Yang Yang's opinion." Ning Yuan nodded, glanced at the two of them and said, "I also think this matter is not that simple. It doesn't happen sooner or later, but it's really not a coincidence that the haunting happened at this time. But It’s not my uncle who did it, then someone must be playing tricks inside. Please take me with you no matter what, I can’t watch someone frame my uncle like this, I must find out the truth of this matter!”

"You don't need to say that, we will take you with us." Yuan Mu smiled when he heard what he said, "After all, your identity is still very useful, and it is convenient to do things, especially for this matter, we It may be easier to find out about your uncle's company with you here."

"Tell me if there is anything that can be of use to me." Ning Yuan agreed, "I will do my best!"

"Now, let's go back and wait for news from Xie Zhi." Finally, Yuan Mu made a decision for the three of them to take.
