Chapter 844: Sending Him An Appetizer
“Yes, back then, the Dou family seized power and caused a huge commotion. Most of the people involved are no longer alive. Only Dou Tianyi’s uncle’s two sons were studying abroad at that time and were not in the country, so they escaped.”
“I remember that when the Dou family changed hands, this uncle was the one who fought the most with Dou Tianyi.”
“Yes, this uncle of Dou Tianyi’s and Dou Tianyi’s father are of two different lineages and are not close by blood. It’s said that the only descendant of the Dou family died early due to illness, so he could only choose an heir from a side branch. At that time, the most promising candidates were Dou Tianyi’s father and this uncle.”
Huo Chenhuan raised his eyebrows. “In that case, Dou Tianyi isn’t considered part of the main family’s bloodline?”
“The Dou family doesn’t pay much attention to this aspect. Compared to bloodlines, they value the capable more.”
“The capable?” Huo Chenhuan’s eyes flickered. No wonder every power transfer in the Dou family was bound to cause a bloodbath.
Should the capable take over, or should he choose the sharpest saber from his offspring?
“Dou Tianyi’s uncle is already dead?”
“That’s right.”
“How did he die?”
/
“Rumor has it it was a robbery. He got into an argument with the robbers and got stabbed several times. One of the stab wounds was fatal and he died instantly.”
“Did it have something to do with Dou Tianyi?”
“There’s no concrete evidence that this matter is related to him for the time being, but at that time, there was internal strife in the Dou family. Almost everyone who went against Dou Tianyi had an accident. Except for one who was in a vegetative state, most of the others were dead.”
Huo Chenhuan’s eyes flickered. “What’s important is what the two surviving young masters of the Dou family think.”
There were some things that everyone knew in their hearts, so it did not matter if there was evidence or not.
“How’s the relations.h.i.+p between those two and the deceased uncle of the Dou family?”
“The relations.h.i.+p between father and son is naturally not bad. If it was really bad, they wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to send him out of the country first.”
Although he was studying abroad, who knew if he had planned it from the beginning? It would be best if he succeeded in seizing power. Even if he failed, he could still leave a bloodline for himself and wait for a comeback in the future.
“How capable are these two?”
He would forget about it if they were two idiots. He would only be sending their heads to Dou Tianyi when they returned. They would not be of much use in that case.
“Among the two of them, the older brother is quite resourceful, and the younger brother is not stupid. The two of them have always wanted to come back, but because of Dou Tianyi’s influence in the country, they don’t dare to act rashly.” In other words, they could be used.
“We don’t really need to crush him. It’s enough to disgust him.”
Compared to killing someone with a borrowed knife, Huo Chenhuan wanted to do it himself.
Finding these two was just an appetizer.
On the other hand, Su Yayan had no idea that she had already replaced Wen Jingping’s role in Dou Tianyi’s heart and had become the trigger for her husband’s confrontation with the original villain. She was really not in a good mood.
Dou Tianyi’s sudden appearance was unexpected.
However, the previous few encounters had at least prepared Su Yayan mentally. She knew that she would b.u.mp into him sooner or later.
From trying to bring the topic back to Wen Jingping to trying to put everything down to her personal feud with her, all these were just to delay the inevitable.
Dou Tianyi did not seem to care about Wen Jingping at all. He was even less interested in their grudges, killing the argument that she wanted to bring up right before she could say anything.
