I leaned on the chair and drank tea while observing the changes in Cao Renjie's demeanor. This man was on the verge of collapse, and his reaction at this time was basically unlikely to be fake.
In other words, even he didn't know what was going on.
"Are you really Cao Song's biological child?" I asked again in an understatement.
"Of course! Of course I am, I am the eldest son of Cao!" Cao Renjie screamed as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
It's like the louder you scream, the more confidence you can give yourself.
"I have been the heir of the Cao family since I was a child. I...I control most of the Cao family's business. How...how can I not be the one?" Cao Renjie was trembling all over and starting to feel a little hysterical.
"That's strange." I was very confused. "Logically speaking, even if a dog is lost at home, it would take a few days to find it, right? Why doesn't your family react at all when a big living person like you is gone?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Cao Renjie shouted excitedly.
"I thought there was some kind of treasure tied up. It seems that you, the eldest son of Cao, are worse than a dog." I shook my head in disappointment.
"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" Cao Renjie had completely collapsed, his expression was distorted, and his whole body was standing straight.
"It's useless anyway, just kill him!" I picked up a meat cleaver and walked towards him.
"No! No!" Cao Renjie screamed, "There must be something going on here, someone must be framing me, I... don't do anything yet!"
"Why should I keep a useless thing?" I glanced at Cao Renjie's head and picked up the meat cleaver.
"No, no, no!" Cao Renjie was hysterical, "I...I don't know what's going on now. We...we can work together. Aren't you going to deal with the Cao family? We...we can cooperate!"
"I cooperate with you? Are you kidding me?" I laughed dumbly.
Cao Renjie hurriedly said, "Cao family... now, now I am no longer Cao Renjie. Even my wife has been snatched away. I am just like you. I also want to know what happened. I... we are from the same family." On a boat!”
"That sounds reasonable." I said.
"Yes!" Cao Renjie heard this and continued hurriedly, "As you said, I don't even know now whether I am the eldest son of the Cao family, or maybe... maybe it is really a dog they raised, the Cao family ...The water in the Cao family is too deep..."
I smiled silently and suddenly slapped his face with a meat cleaver, "Then do you think a dog from the Cao family is worthy of cooperating with me?"
"Then I...then I will be your dog and help you...help you deal with the Cao family together!" Cao Renjie said hurriedly.
I sneered in my heart, this Cao Renjie looks weak and gentle, but in fact, both in terms of means and government, he is much stronger than his younger brother.
The reason why the Cao family has been able to expand so fast in recent years is due to this man. Moreover, under such circumstances, he is able to bend and stretch, and will do anything to survive. He is ruthless.
"How did you wipe out Boss Qiao's family?" I wiped the top of his head with the side of the meat cleaver.
Cao Renjie tensed up and explained the matter in a trembling voice, which was consistent with what he had said before when he was hit by the soul-spelling spell.
I asked a few more questions, and he explained them all clearly.
"What about Laosong Reservoir?" Seeing that the time was almost here, I asked casually.
"Laosong Reservoir..." Cao Renjie was startled for a moment, then said, "My dad... Cao Song asked people to build that reservoir. However, the Cao family did not come forward in person at that time, but went through a boss named Liu. Built.”
"On the surface, it seems that Boss Liu has nothing to do with...the Cao family. Even I didn't know it beforehand. I only guessed it later...from some clues."
"The reservoir is also strange. Just a few days after it was built, two children ran there to swim, and both of them drowned in it."
"Later on, several things happened one after another, and some people even died without seeing their bodies after falling in. Gradually, there were many rumors about the reservoir. Some said that the reservoir was haunted by water ghosts, and some said that there was a giant snake in the reservoir. , specializes in cannibalism.”
"Anyway, there are different opinions. And... later, Boss Liu's family, who built the reservoir, drowned in the reservoir mysteriously. Now the reservoir has become a taboo place."
"After the death of Boss Liu and his family, the reservoir was abandoned there. There was a barbed wire fence around it to prevent anyone from entering. It is said that the ownership of the reservoir is still in the hands of a nephew of the Liu family, but that nephew is still there. There is no news at all.”
"You are quite concerned about this reservoir." I said calmly.
"I...I won't hide it from you. Others don't know what happened to Boss Liu's family. I know it. It should be Cao...Cao Song who sent someone to do it." Cao Renjie said.
"What you say is Cao Song. If your father hears it, why won't he be angry to death?" I laughed.
Cao Renjie showed a sinister expression, "His son is still at Cao's house fine! I just want to be a dog to follow you right now!"
It's okay to just listen to this. If the situation really changes, I'm afraid the dog will jump up and bite him immediately.
"Then do your best." I smiled and ordered a small piece of "Midnight Ghost Knocking on the Door" in the bowl.
Smoke curled up.
"Ghost, ghost! You...don't come here!"
A moment later, Cao Renjie's horrifying scream sounded again in the darkness.
I returned to the top and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Haitang waiting outside.
"Brother Shou, it's time to eat!" Haitang said happily.
I smiled and asked, "How long have you been waiting outside? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"It didn't take long. There must be something wrong with you inside, so I didn't dare to disturb you." Haitang said.
I smiled and took her over to the Feng Shui Building.
It hasn't been completely decorated here, but the kitchen has been built, and everyone comes over to have dinner together.
"Eat up and go to the house of the aunt named Zhang you mentioned later." I said to Haitang.
"Okay!" Haitang agreed happily.
The child was also sincere and asked her to eat more. As expected, she ate two more bowls of rice than usual.
It seems that when she usually eats, she is still embarrassed and does not eat with ease.
But just this, Tietou and the others were stunned.
After dinner, I returned to Liuniantang, tidied up a little, and then set off with Haitang.
Aunt Zhang's family lived in a town on the outskirts of Meicheng, and the two of us took a taxi there.
More than half an hour later, we found the family, who lived in a two-story building that is relatively common in the town.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a frightening scream coming from inside the house.
