Chapter 84 Chapter 25 Lao Yan's Past

After a brief silence, I slowly shifted my gaze to Lao Yan. Is that old bodyguard who worked for my uncle the so-called "puppet master"?Old Yan followed his uncle when he was young. If he is a puppet master, then his hidden skills are indeed deep enough.Thinking back seriously, my uncle did fight with a few Nanyang people. Could it be that he was not trying to argue, but protecting the master behind him. Seeing that I had guessed the answer, Lao Yan didn't deny it, but because he couldn't move his hands, he just stood there.The little cousin went on to say that she didn't believe it at first, but after checking Lao Yan's background, she was willing to accept the fact.Old Yan originally followed the Lu family in the Philippines. Before that, he had been living in a slum in Manila.The slums are in the cemeteries, where the living and the dead live together. The environment is very poor. People often die of diseases, and it is almost impossible to tell whether the people living there are dead or not.

In that environment, to survive, one must be ruthless and treacherous, and one can shout and kill for a little food.Lao Yan's ruthlessness was gradually developed from it, and he became the bodyguard of an American businessman for three years.Later, the American businessman died, and Lao Yan got a little money, and then used it to do business, and it gradually grew bigger.The American businessman did not die naturally, but was killed by his opponents. Lao Yan knew the truth of it, so he kept looking for someone to be his puppet. After finding many people in a row, Lao Yan followed his uncle and learned how to do tea business.The uncle knew the identity of Lao Yan from the very beginning, but at that time the only one who could make the decision was the grandfather, so the uncle often asked Lao Yan how to run a business independently.Therefore, when he was in danger, the uncle relied on his youth and the fact that Lao Yan, who was once a killer, was by his side, so he showed his hands.

When the eldest uncle was getting frustrated, Lao Yan was utterly ungrateful and never helped his uncle once.If the uncle goes bankrupt, Lao Yan can still profit from it and occupy half of the property of the Lu family, making the once glorious uncle his safest shield.One must know that puppets are hard to find. Of course, no one would suspect that a rich businessman like Uncle who has been publicized is another rich businessman's puppet stand-in. In this way, Lao Yan manipulated behind the scenes to make his uncle make a comeback, but all the property had already been put under Lao Yan's name.Because of his wealth and power, the tea Lao Yan drank was also very expensive, and he developed a habit that was difficult to quit.After a long time, Huming lumps gradually formed, which made Lao Yan feel more and more uncomfortable.Hu Mingjiao has been in Lao Yan's body for decades, and it is no longer possible to force it out of the human body by ordinary methods. It is necessary to use a very special strong tea to be effective.

The uncle became a puppet, but the three cousins ​​were not safe. After they became adults, Lao Yan began to plan for them to be trained as killers or bodyguards.There is no one more suitable than the three cousins. They often come into contact with tea merchants and are familiar with the habits of rich merchants, so they are easier to be accepted by those people.The uncle knew that he had lost his freedom a long time ago, but he didn't want his children to suffer as well, but Lao Yan's decision was hard to make. Because of Huming lumps in Lao Yan's body, the uncle used this to bargain, and wanted Lao Yan to let his three children go.Unexpectedly, Lao Yan refused to compromise and only allowed the uncle to rescue one of them. As for which one, the uncle can decide for himself.

Lao Yan didn't want others to know that he had a disease, so in order to find an excuse to seek medical treatment, he took advantage of the farce of the fisher girl throwing a cup and claimed that his uncle had a strange fish scale disease, so he went to Xiamen to seek medical treatment.Those fish scales were actually made by an actor. The reason my uncle had to soak them in the water every day was because the fish scales were very uncomfortable to stick to his legs. They had to be soaked every day, otherwise they wouldn't be able to tear off.I was hiding under my uncle's bed at that time, and I saw many fish scale skins, which were custom-made props for my uncle to use in turn.

Of course, my uncle knew how to force Hu Ming's lump out. He wanted to solve it in Malaysia, but Lao Yan chose Xiamen Island, China.The uncle didn't understand this, and thought that Lao Yan wanted to take the opportunity to travel to the mainland. After careful questioning, he found out that Xiamen Island has a secret that few people know. "Are you saying that Huang Dejun is your son's business?" Mu Qingxiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke out. Old Yan was very surprised and asked, "When did you see it?" "It was when the dead chicken was found for the first time." Mu Qingxiang replied.

"Huh? This is the first time I found a dead chicken?" I vaguely recalled that at that time, apart from the weird dead chicken, there was nothing special about it, let alone the father-son relationship between Huang Dejun and Lao Yan. "Where was the leak at that time?" Old Yan couldn't believe it, he thought everything was perfect. Mu Qingxiang explained very naturally that when the dead chicken was found at that time, the uncle, Lao Yan and Huang Dejun walked out together. When Huang Dejun figured out what happened, he gestured to Lao Yan first, and then Lao Yan Tell uncle.Under normal circumstances, if Huang Dejun is really the owner of Huangcuo, then his status should be the same as that of his uncle. It is impossible for Lao Yan to be the first to listen to the message, at least Huang Dejun should tell his uncle directly.

From then on, Mu Qingxiang suspected that there was something wrong with Lao Yan's identity, he might be on the same level as his uncle, or had a higher status than his uncle.It wasn't until I told Mu Qingxiang that Lao Yan's room was locked that she was really sure.Everyone thought that Lao Yan locked the door because he held the will of the Lu family, but no one expected that Lao Yan locked the door because he had the highest status and he didn't want others to tamper with his things. Every meal, Lao Yan was not present, and Mu Qingxiang didn't doubt it at first, but later realized that Lao Yan might eat the best tea alone in the room, and those good teas must be in his room.Therefore, Lao Yan had to lock the door every day, and even lived next to the three cousins, monitoring their every move, and seeing which one was more suitable to be a killer bodyguard.

Lao Yan admired Mu Qingxiang's meticulous observation and admitted that those inferences were accurate, and Huang Dejun was also his only son.At that time, Lao Yan fell in love with a Chinese woman and gave birth to Huang Dejun.It's a pity that the woman died of dystocia, so only their father and son were left.Although Lao Yan secretly had a lot of money, he did not spoil his son at all after suffering. His experience told him that his son must also be honed. Lao Yan seldom met Huang Dejun, and the longest time he didn't see each other was five years, but he always sent people to secretly protect his son.Before Huang Dejun was 10 years old, he was placed in the tombs of Manila by Lao Yan, which is also the land of the living dead where he used to live.There, in order to survive, Huang Dejun not only practiced the acting skills of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but also learned the skills of self-defense. After he was 10 years old, Huang Dejun went to England to learn the tea ceremony. He didn't return to Huangcuo until half a year ago.

"Mom, I can't see that this family is so perverted." I secretly looked at them in surprise, but who would the "bad guy" Huang Dejun secretly told me be? Cousin? The more I listened, the more confused I became, so I asked, "No, Lao Yan, your surname is not Huang, so why are you related to Huang Dejun by blood? Does he have the same surname as your mother?" Lao Yan smiled triumphantly and said, "Who told you that my surname is Yan? You all call me Lao Yan, and who ever asked me my real name? My real name is Huang Yan!" I took a deep breath, what Lao Yan said was right, no one thought about what Lao Yan's name was, they all thought his surname was Yan.This can't be blamed on everyone, who would ask what the servant's full name is, the elders called it that, of course we followed suit.No wonder Lao Yan often appeared with Huang Dejun when we were in Huangcuo, but I never thought about it deeply.

Lao Yan saw that the explanation was almost done, and it would be too embarrassing to continue, so he asked Mu Qingxiang: "Since you know so clearly, are those two dead chickens a good thing you did? You want to blackmail me, don't you? How much does it cost, you can count." For a refined person like Mu Qingxiang, how could she care about money? To her, Lao Yan's words were like a gust of wind.Although I am not as smart as Mu Qingxiang, I already know who killed those two chickens, and I also know why there are scratches on the ground outside the main hall.Seeing that Mu Qingxiang didn't speak, Lao Yan couldn't help being very puzzled, thinking that it would be more appropriate for Mu Qingxiang to calculate the price. Seeing that no one admitted it, I said, "That has nothing to do with Mu Qingxiang, the chicken was killed, it's all because of my little cousin." The little cousin looked at me blankly, wondering why someone would know her secret. In fact, it was definitely the little cousin who did it when I found out that a few tiles were missing.Of course, now that the little cousin has taken out the needle box, this is tantamount to admitting that she was the one who killed the chicken on the second floor that night, and naturally knew that she was the one who killed the chicken for the first time. Before that, when I found that the tiles on the eaves of the main hall were missing, I suspected that the little cousin had done something hateful secretly.The first time I found a dead chicken, it was indeed the little cousin who found it first, and then yelled to attract our attention.At that time, to kill a chicken and throw it in front of the main hall, it was difficult for the little cousin to do it in a few minutes, and on the surface, she didn't have any motive, but if the chicken was killed at night With chickens, it's a completely different story. The little cousin killed the chicken in the middle of the night and threw it on the roof. Unexpectedly, the dead chicken slipped and fell in front of the main hall during the day.The reason why it was thrown on the roof of the main hall was because the little cousin killed the chicken on the second floor. She originally wanted to throw it outside the Huangcuo, but when she walked out of the main hall, she threw it directly on the roof.Later, when the little cousin was going to find her uncle, she saw a dead chicken that had just slipped. In order not to make people think she was a thief shouting for a thief, she scratched up the dead chicken with the tiles that fell together, so the stone bricks The floor also had scratches. In this way, everyone thought that the little cousin had no time to kill chickens, and cut up the poor chicken.But in fact, that chicken died a long time ago. No matter how the little cousin mutilated it, the dead chicken could not make a sound. The little cousin wanted to deny it, but I said right away: "Only you can do this, because there are only a few minutes at that time, and that's when the dead chicken appeared, and only you were there at that time." Outside the main hall. If you don’t believe me, you can look under the outer wall of Huangcuo. You can definitely find the tiles thrown by the little cousin, or climb to the roof. There must be a lot of black tiles. Chicken blood." "That's right, I did it, but so what, is it illegal to kill a chicken?" The little cousin replied reluctantly. I can only be sure that the person who killed the chicken was done by my little cousin, but I don't know why she did it. Could it be that she likes to abuse poultry by nature.After killing the chicken, it doesn't matter even if someone finds out, so why dismember the chicken's body?Also, how did the silver coin that fell on the dead chicken come from?
