Zhong Zitao had gone out one afternoon and hadn’t returned, which made Zhong Yunqiu very anxious. He tried calling him, but there was no answer.
Over the past few years, Zhong Yunqiu’s business had grown significantly. He wanted to distance himself from Hongmen, but he felt conflicted. Hong Yuanshan, his godfather, was a good person. Zhong Yunqiu didn’t want to treat him as someone to rely on only when he needed something and then forget about him when it was convenient.
Zhong Yunqiu noticed that Hong Yuanshan now saw him as a source of money, just as he used to see Hong Yuanshan as a supporter. This made it hard for him to break away from their relationship. As a result, he had to find a way to keep Hong Yuanshan satisfied.
Recently, Hong Yuanshan made a lot of money smuggling frozen meat, but he needed more resources. He wanted Zhong Yunqiu to help him register a shipping company to bring goods from overseas to Hong Kong Island. He also asked Zhong Yunqiu to invest money in buying fast speedboats for smuggling meat into the mainland.
To ensure Zhong Yunqiu wouldn’t refuse his requests, Hong Yuanshan planned to host a banquet and invite Zhong Yunqiu along with their family. He thought that once they were at the table, Zhong Yunqiu wouldn’t be able to say no.
However, after waiting a long time at home, Hong Yuanshan grew annoyed when Zhong Yunqiu still hadn’t shown up. He picked up the phone and said, “Yunqiu! What’s going on? You’ve become too big for your britches! I’ve been waiting for you to join me for dinner, and I still haven’t seen you. What do you mean by this? If you don’t respect your godfather, just say so!”
“Let me be clear, I, Hong Yuanshan, will never let you embarrass me! All the help I gave you before was just a waste, and we won’t get along in the future!”
Zhong Yunqiu was confused by Hong Yuanshan’s words.
Hong Yuanshan was clever and knew how to hit hard. He was saying this to create some distance. He figured that he wouldn’t get what he wanted, so he pretended to be weak while still trying to take the moral high ground. This way, Zhong Yunqiu would have to apologize to him later.
Thinking quickly, Zhong Yunqiu replied, “Godfather, how could I ever look down on you? You’re my godfather for life! I wouldn’t be where I am today without your support!”
Hong Yuanshan then asked, “Then why haven’t you come yet? Don’t give me excuses about letting my pigeons go; is that too much to ask?”
Zhong Yunqiu quickly responded, “You’re mistaken, Godfather! I was supposed to leave an hour ago, but this kid Zitao went out this afternoon and told me to come back quickly. He hasn’t returned yet, and I’ve been trying to call him, but I can’t reach him. I’m worried something might have happened to him!”
When Hong Yuanshan heard this, he shouted, “Damn it! Who would dare to mess with my godson? I’ll smash their head! I may not have achieved much in life, but I’ll protect you! Don’t worry, if anyone dares to harm Zitao, I’ll make sure they pay!”
Hong Yuanshan’s fiery words had a double meaning. He wanted to reassure Zhong Yunqiu, but he was also subtly putting pressure on him.
Yunqiu.
The words are straightforward. Even though I’m older, I’m still willing to play along with others. If you, Zhong Yunqiu, want to play tricks on me, I’m ready to play back!
Zhong Yunqiu, being human, quickly grasped what Hong Yuanshan meant. However, he was too worried to think about that right now. He quickly said, “Godfather, can you send some people to help me? I’m really worried about Zitao. He hasn’t called me at all.”
Hong Yuanshan replied confidently, “Don’t worry, Yunqiu. I’ll take care of this. Just tell me what time Zitao left this afternoon. I’ll have someone start looking from that moment. We’ll follow the clues and find him!”
