Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Chapter 311 Zhou Tian’s Suspicion

"Dad, what are you..."

When the middle-aged man heard what his father said, he understood something and his face turned pale. His eyes were full of panic and confusion, as if he had never expected his father to make such a decision.

"Tianci, people always have to learn to grow up on their own. You have always been too naive in looking at everything, maybe it's Dad's fault. Now, you should learn to grow up."

Old Hong slowly waved his hand, interrupting his son's words, his tone full of love and helplessness. "I will tell the people below that you will leave tonight and don't come back after you leave. As for your life, Dad has deposited a sum of money for you in the Bald Eagle Bank abroad, which should be enough for you to use in the future."

Mr. Hong knew that his son was deliberately sent to die by the other party. He could only arrange a future for his son. He blamed himself for thinking everything was too good at the beginning, but he did not consider that his son would be cannon fodder at the mercy of others after leaving him.

Now he has figured it out. Instead of doing this, he might as well take the opportunity to let his son go to the Bald Eagle Country and start a new life there.

In this way, the other party's hand will not be so long. It's just a pity that my century-old family business will probably be destroyed this time.

However, as long as people are around and the incense is burning, he believes that even a hundred years later, the Hong family will still be able to rise. As long as this is the case, he will be satisfied.

"Dad, no, I don't want to leave, I..."

The middle-aged man was about to continue speaking, but Mr. Hong stroked his head like he did when he was a child.

"Tianci, there is no need to say more. You must remember that the Hong family's incense must not be cut off. When you arrive in the Bald Eagle Country, you must marry and have children as soon as possible to expand the Hong family." After saying that, Old Hong turned around and called out, "Old Hu!"

The housekeeper, Old Hu, immediately pushed the door open and walked in, nodded to the young master, then turned his gaze to Old Hong with respect in his eyes.

"Master Hong!"

"Go and arrange for someone to send the young master to the Bald Eagle Country tonight. You should come with us, and remember to bring Twelve and the others with you."

“Master Hong, this…” Old Hu was immediately shocked by Master Hong’s arrangement and wanted to say something, but when he saw Master Hong glaring at him, he could only say respectfully, “I understand, Master Hong!”

"Alright, make arrangements right away, notify the secret line, and try to arrange everything as quickly as possible! Go!"

Old Hong waved his hand and sent Old Hu away, then looked at the middle-aged man.

"Tianci, this is all Dad can do for you. When you get to the Bald Eagle, you must remember to be tolerant when necessary and try to keep a low profile. Do you understand?"

"Dad, I understand."

Even though the middle-aged man didn't understand his father's deep meaning at this moment, he couldn't help but choke up and speak.

"In the future, you must learn to use your brain to think. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your Grandpa Hu. After all, he is an old man who has followed your father for many years."

Mr. Hong patted his son's shoulder again and slowly walked out of the study.

"You're not going anywhere before dark."

Mr. Hong gave some instructions to the young men outside the study and then walked out.

Time passed in a flash, and it was evening. After arranging for Old Hu and Twelve to send their son away, at the gate of the courtyard, Old Hong's figure looked particularly desolate. His old eyes were full of reluctance, but then a hint of determination flashed across them.

"Thirteen!"

"Master Hong!"

A young man nearby immediately responded respectfully.

"Notify them all. Capture all the people on this list before tomorrow. I want to give the country a great gift!"

As he spoke, he took out a list from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Yes! Master Hong!"

The young man took the list handed over by Mr. Hong, was stunned at first, then responded, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

The next day.

Perhaps because he was worried that the machinery factory would be destroyed by enemy agents, Zhou Tian did not sleep well all night. He came to the machinery factory early in the morning.

Shortly after entering the office, Song Weiguo hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Director, great joy!"

"Great joy? What great joy? Weiguo, are you getting married?"

Hearing Song Weiguo's words, Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask.

Song Weiguo's face twitched suddenly, and he said helplessly: "Director, what are you talking about? The great joy I mentioned is related to the enemy spies I told you about yesterday!"

"Is it related to enemy spies? The enemy spies were caught?" Zhou Tian stood up suddenly and asked happily.

"Yes, Director, all the enemy spies have been captured, not a single one has escaped!"

Song Weiguo nodded, a look of joy instantly appearing on his face as he spoke.

"How was he caught? Was it the soldiers from the security department who caught him? And who is the traitor in our factory?"

Upon hearing that the enemy spy was captured, Zhou Tian couldn't wait to ask.

"Director, you asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer?"

Looking at the anxiety on the factory director's face, Song Weiguo couldn't help but roll his eyes and said helplessly.

"Stop playing dumb and tell me!"

Seeing that Song Weiguo had actually whetted his appetite, Zhou Tian glared at him fiercely.

"Okay, I'll tell you, don't be impatient!"

Originally, Song Weiguo wanted to see the factory director's anxious look, but now that he was glared at by the factory director, his long-standing prestige forced him to compromise.

He could only tell everything about Master Hong.

After listening to Song Weiguo's words, Zhou Tian became interested in this so-called Mr. Hong.

He naturally knew that although the state was now reforming capitalists and some private enterprises with relatively mild means, many capitalists still had certain assets in their hands.

But as time goes by, especially when difficult times come, this reform method will gradually become more intense, and during the movement, it will completely knock businessmen and capitalists off the cliff.

And this so-called Mr. Hong was actually the president of the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce before liberation. He was already a member of the red capital before liberation, and he also had a background in underground forces.

Although the country has certain preferential treatment for such capital, in the final analysis, the backgrounds of such people are not so clean.

And now such a person would actually arrest all the enemy spies this time, which made Zhou Tian suspicious of the other party's purpose. However, suspicion is suspicion, after all, all the enemy spies were arrested, and it must be said that in the final analysis, the other party did a good thing and helped them.

However, Zhou Tian always felt that things would not be that simple, and he could not help stroking his chin.

"Weiguo, why do you think Mr. Hong is so kind? He actually took the initiative to help us catch the enemy spies?"

"Director, are you saying that there is something wrong with this Mr. Hong?"

After hearing what Zhou Tian said, Song Weiguo couldn't help but asked with a thoughtful look.

Hearing that Song Weiguo had misunderstood what he meant, Zhou Tian shook his head.

"No, no! I don't know if there is a problem or not, but I always feel that Mr. Hong shouldn't be so kind. After all, according to what you said, the other party once had a background in underground forces, so I always feel that Mr. Hong shouldn't help us for no reason, even if the other party was once a member of Red Capital."

It’s not that Zhou Tian is suspicious. After all, he has watched a lot of period dramas in his previous life. He knows very well that these people are actually not willing to completely side with one side. Instead, they are wavering and betting on both sides. This is their final choice.

He believed that this so-called Master Hong must be such a person. After all, the other party was a smart person, and the smarter the person, the more concerns he would have. Therefore, he naturally had some doubts about this Master Hong.
