Married at First Sight Chapter 5277
Long Ting looked at her,
sighing inwardly.
Was she truly ignorant or feigning ignorance?
However, he didn’t explicitly say so.
“Marriage is still a long way off. Let’s talk about it after I’ve avenged myself.”
Long Ting sat up straight, no longer leaning against Chu Jiu.
“Most of those who knew about or participated back then are dead. Even those who are still alive are tight-lipped and hard to pry open. Decades have passed, and it’s too difficult for me to gather evidence.”
Long Ting looked distressed. “Why don’t Uncle Ying and the others help me gather evidence?”
Chu Jiu said, “This is the young master’s great revenge, not theirs. They helped raise the young master and taught him so much; that’s already a great kindness.”
Long Tuo’s father didn’t leave any evidence behind. Even though many people knew it was him, there was no proof that he killed the head of the family.
The participants were all Long Ting’s enemies. How could they possibly hand over the events of that year, or even the evidence they secretly kept, to Long Ting?
Wouldn’t that be suicide?
But many more of the people who knew about and participated were dead, some from illness, some from accidents.
Long Ting believed that those who died in accidents were murdered by Long Tuo’s father to cover their tracks, and he also believed that those who fell ill were poisoned. The
surviving witnesses were mostly Long Tuo’s uncles, aunts, and other relatives, who were loyal to the family and would never betray him.
Long Ting had been in H City for many years, but gathering evidence was incredibly slow,
mainly due to the passage of over thirty years.
Without sufficient evidence to bring his enemies to justice, Long Ting could only continue to expand the Longteng Group, hoping to reveal the family head’s token at the opportune moment and reclaim the position.
With his status as the president of the Longteng Group, everyone knew his capabilities; once he assumed the position of family head, he believed he could win the trust of those elites who valued possessions over personal connections.For over thirty years, Long Tuo and his son had failed to secure the true position of family head. Once Long Ting revealed his identity, they would target him, giving him evidence to imprison them.
However, the father and son alone were far from sufficient.
What happened back then wasn’t something a father and son could accomplish alone; too many people were involved.
That was a last resort for Long Ting, a strategy he had been preparing for years.
Now, the Longteng Group had caught up with the Long Group, and Long Ting planned to reveal the family head’s token and take over the Long family after the summer vacation.
Having operated in H City for many years, his connections, influence, and social standing were enough to intimidate the Long family members.
Why wait until after the summer vacation?
Because Zhou Yang would be in Dongguan during the summer, leaving him without anyone to manage the Longteng Group.
Also, his family and friends would be flying over for vacation, and he didn’t want to burden them.
After the summer, those who worked would return to work, those who studied would return to school, and Zhou Yang would come from Dongguan. Without these worries, he could then take over the Long family.
“Chu Jiu, let’s not go back to that house tonight. Let’s go somewhere else, our new house. I secretly bought it a while ago, and we haven’t stayed there yet.”
Chu Jiu said, “Is Young Master afraid of being assassinated?”
“I’m not afraid, but I don’t want to fight them tonight. Although I’m not really drunk, I’ve had so much to drink that my mobility is a bit impaired.”
Chu Jiu said to him, “Who told you to drink so much tonight? If you have a headache tomorrow, don’t tell me. If you do, I’ll call Mother Mu and tell her you drank so much.”
“Chu Jiu, you’re such a tattletale!”
“When it comes to tattletales, who can compare to you, Young Master? Don’t think I don’t know you’ve complained about me to Yan Yan and Bei Bei countless times.”
Long Ting: “…”
