Zhao Haishan, in the provincial city, is a famous philanthropist.
He has donated to countless hospitals, orphanages, and schools.
In the eyes of everyone, he is a low-key, kind-hearted elder with a loving heart.
And now, this façade has completely collapsed.
The renowned philanthropist of the provincial city has now become the murderer of his own older brother!
They thought there might be a spectacle today, but they didn't expect it to be so explosive!
If the video here gets out, not only the whole provincial city, the entire Su Bei Province, and even the upper circles of Great Xia will experience a huge earthquake.
"Wang Chao! You bastard! How dare you stab me in the back! When have I ever mistreated you?" Zhao Haishan looked at Wang Chao with a face full of gloom, as if his gaze could kill a thousand times over.
He had trusted Wang Chao completely!
And this is what happened!
This lifetime's betrayal was ruthless and deep!
"Brother-in-law! You really can't blame me for this. If I wasn't forced, how could I have done such a thing?!" Wang Chao said in pain. Although he didn't want to harm Zhao Haishan, he had no other choice. If he didn't do this, his young and beautiful mistresses and his lovely illegitimate children would all leave him!
Of course, most importantly, his wealth.
"Zhao Haishan, oh Zhao Haishan, how could your heart be so malicious, so harsh! Could it be that family and kin mean nothing to you?" Old Master Zhao looked at the video image, his elderly body trembling incessantly, his eyes reddening, his tone filled with despair, pain, and indignation.
With a cold expression and a hoarse voice, Zhao Haishan said, "Dad, you once said, 'I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.' What's wrong with me doing this? If I hadn't done it, the Zhao Family would only have the unity it has now; otherwise, it would be inevitably divided!"
Old Master Zhao looked desolate, as if he had aged decades in an instant. "Haishan, you're wrong! Truly wrong!"
"Even if you wanted to truly control the Zhao Family, why couldn't you wait a bit longer! Even just one more day."
"You didn't know, your elder brother already told me, he's not interested in family matters. On the day something happened to him, it was your birthday. He planned to hand over the entire Zhao Family to you that day, and he would move abroad with his wife and children."
"Just one day, and you couldn't even wait that long?"
"Do you know! How heartbroken Dad is now! If your elder brother knew from the other side, he would die with grievances!"
In the last sentence, Old Master Zhao nearly shouted, using all his strength.
Zhao Haishan's body shuddered violently, his legs giving way as he collapsed onto the floor, his eyes blank.
Indeed, the day he had Wang Chao arrange the arson was exactly his birthday!
The location of the birthday party was less than 3 kilometers from the Zhao family's ancestral home and Zhao Haiyang's residence.
After a long pause, Zhao Haishan laughed hopelessly: "Dad, this matter, I wronged my elder brother and sister-in-law. It's my sin, but since the grave mistake is already done, what use is it to say anything now?"
"Do you really want me to go to prison?"
Zhao Zuilong also said, "Grandpa, my dad did wrong, but so many years have passed, there's no fixing it now, the rice is cooked, if this matter is exposed now, it will only bring greater harm to our Zhao Family! Grandpa!"
"I am still too young, incapable of managing the Zhao Family, unable to bear the responsibilities as the head, all aspects within the family still rely on father's decisions. If he's not here, it will gravely injure our family, reducing its strength!"
"Grandpa! Please think it over!"
The father and son sang in unison, putting Old Master Zhao in a difficult position.
While Zhao Haishan admitted his guilt, if Old Master Zhao didn't call the police, Zhao Haishan would remain unpunished.
Regarding the guests present, who would risk offending the Zhao Family and expose this matter with just a word from Old Master Zhao?
Just as Old Master Zhao was in agonizing indecision, Zhao Siyuan's voice suddenly rang out: "The Zhao Family isn't as fragile as you think, even without you two cold-hearted father and son, there's still me, the eldest grandson of the Zhao Family!"
"Ha! You fool! You want to be the Patriarch of the Zhao Family? If the Zhao Family fell into your hands, it wouldn't last a month before vanishing into thin air!" Zhao Zuilong sneered.
But as everyone's eyes turned towards Zhao Siyuan, they saw him standing there quietly, eyes firm and wise, unlike his usual foolish demeanor.
"Zhao Siyuan! You're not a fool! You're not a fool!!!" Zhao Haishan extended a trembling finger towards Zhao Siyuan, filled with incredulity!
He couldn't understand why Wang Chao would betray him!
But after seeing Zhao Siyuan now, he suddenly understood!
So it was this foolish one!
"Of course! If I didn't pretend to be foolish! You'd have probably killed me long ago!" Zhao Siyuan looked at Zhao Haishan with a playful expression!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Upon realizing Zhao Siyuan wasn't a fool, almost all the guests present were shocked!
Because in everyone's eyes, Zhao Siyuan was a fool!
A fool who couldn't be more foolish!
But now, it turned out he was only pretending!
