Chapter 248 House Slave
"He's nothing but a despicable man who climbs the social ladder by using women, a truly despicable man!"
Before I could even react, Third Master continued his tirade, calling Chen Dong'ang a two-time traitor who, once in power, turned his back on everyone and didn't know who his master was anymore.
As he continued cursing, Third Master brought up another man who had risen to power through his wife, calling him a traitor who had served three masters, and saying that none of these men who rose to power through women were good people.
His outburst made Lin the Fatty and me feel very awkward, and we could only keep trying to comfort him.
Speaking of which, another person who rose to power through women also went into the insurance business.
These famous sons-in-law are all moneybags.
"Thirteen, Xiao Lin, don't be fooled by their current enthusiasm; this marriage can happen just as easily!"
When he got angry, Third Master slammed his hand on the table.
"Third Master, don't worry, we brothers will never associate with this kind of person!" Fatty Lin declared his loyalty.
"No, you have to pay!"
Third Master grabbed Fatty Lin and said with red eyes.
"Third Master, he's implying something to you, and I can't stand it!" Fatty Lin said indignantly.
"You still have to pay!"
Third Master gritted his teeth and said, "These kinds of people have no foundation. They become arrogant when they gain power. I want to let them gain power. I want to support them. When they get carried away and think they've woven a net and can stand on their own two feet, that's when we'll reap the rewards!"
"Okay, Third Master, I'll do whatever you say!" Fatty Lin nodded quickly.
"Um!"
Third Master stared at Fatty Lin for almost two seconds, snorted, released his grip on Fatty Lin, and took a big gulp of wine.
After drinking until the very end, we helped the completely drunk Third Master back to his room, then instructed a waiter to keep an eye on him before leaving.
"Crazy! Third Master's mental state is completely unbalanced!"
As he left the club, Fatty Lin exhaled a breath of alcohol and said...
"Of course! If it were you, being scolded by a divorced son-in-law who moved into your wife's family home, you wouldn't feel the same way either!" I said.
"Too!"
Fatty Lin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Madman, I think Chen Dongang said that on purpose, and today's meeting might have been arranged by Third Master!"
"I think so too!"
We two brothers were thinking the same thing.
Having spent so much time with Third Master, we've come to see some things more clearly.
In their circle, there's a saying: "A money bag doesn't need to have thoughts."
The meaning is simple: since you've chosen to be the money bag, don't even dream of climbing up. Do whatever your superiors tell you to do, and absolutely do nothing they forbid you from doing.
It's dangerous for a wallet to have thoughts.
At this point, it's often time to replace the person.
Years later, many sons-in-law ran into trouble, especially the one whom the Third Master called a "three-surname slave." The biggest reason for his trouble was that he had developed his own ideas and attempted to use finance to build a large empire.
To put it bluntly, they're ignoring orders and trying to use the shackles of the old era to tell a new story. Will the higher authorities allow that?
"Fatty, I don't think Chen Dongang's reprimand was necessarily his own idea!" I said after thinking for a moment.
"I think so too!" Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Someone like Chen Dongang, who climbed up the ladder through his wife, is most afraid of offending people. Someone must have instructed him to put Third Master in a bad light!"
"Third Master has been too cocky lately!" I said.
"Never mind him, let's just focus on our own things!"
Fatty Lin glanced back and said, "We two brothers used to resent Third Master for sending us to Hong Kong Island, but now it seems it might not be such a bad thing after all!"
"That's really true!" I nodded.
"Alright, let's go. We two brothers can just watch the show!"
Fatty Lin let out a breath and put his arm around my neck.
Back at the clinic, Long Nier was waiting for us.
After nagging for a while, Long Nier cooked a hangover soup for the two of us.
"Brother, Fatty, I've packed everything. Once I sober up a bit, you two can see if there's anything else you need to bring!"
After my brother and I drank the hangover soup, Long Nier pointed to the suitcase.
"Yeah, Ni'er, thank goodness for you!" I chuckled and hugged Long Ni'er.
Fatty Lin looked at me, then at Long Nier, and said, "Crazy, Nier, why don't you two take advantage of this warm moment and consummate your marriage!"
"Fatty, you don't act like a big brother at all!"
Fueled by the alcohol, I was about to agree when Long Ni stomped her foot, pinched me, and went back to her room.
"Crazy, don't say your brother didn't help you!" Fatty Lin patted my shoulder and went back into the house.
"Oh shit!"
I scratched my head. Today, fueled by alcohol, I finally mustered up some courage, but it all fell through again.
Silent all night.
The next morning, we met up with Blind Zuo and headed straight for Lin'an.
I received a call from Third Master as soon as I got off the plane at noon and came out of the airport.
"Have you arrived in Lin'an yet?"
After the call was answered, Third Master's slightly hoarse voice came through.
"Just came from the airport!"
I said.
It looks like Third Master just woke up not long ago.
"What time did you leave yesterday?" Third Master asked.
"Not even ten o'clock!" I replied.
"Leaving so early?" Third Master said.
"I need to catch an early flight!" I said with a smile.
I understand what Third Master means; he's trying to test what he said yesterday.
"I was planning to have a good drink with you two brothers yesterday!" Third Master sighed.
"Third Master, let's drink after we've finished dealing with things here!" I said.
Did I tell you anything yesterday?
After a moment of silence, Third Master couldn't help but ask.
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance and smiled silently. I said, "He told us to do a good job, keep an eye on things in Hong Kong for you, and that we absolutely must find the Liu family's grave this time. If we encounter any difficulties, we should call and discuss it!"
I was just downplaying the important points. Yesterday, Third Master talked mostly about Chen Dongang, this double-servant, and another triple-servant. He only mentioned the matter of Hong Kong and the Liu family briefly.
Judging from Third Master's appearance, he's probably blacked out and doesn't remember anything from last night.
After I finished speaking, Third Master didn't respond for a long time. I said, "Third Master, are you still listening?"
"I'm listening!"
Third Master hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've sent someone to pick you up. Don't leave the airport. They'll call you when they arrive!"
"Okay, I understand!"
I nodded.
"This matter must be resolved quickly, leaving no future problems. Feel free to make any requests!"
Third Master continued.
"Yes, we know!"
I readily agreed.
A moment later, the call ended, and I smiled at Fatty Lin, saying, "Third Master isn't sure what he said!"
"We should drink less alcohol in the future!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"I have a hangover cure, Brother and Fatty. If you're worried about saying something inappropriate after drinking, I can give you both a Zhongshang!" Long Nier said with a smile.
"Don't!"
Lin the Fatty and I shook our heads at the same time. Just then, our phones rang, and the people who were supposed to pick us up arrived.
