Chapter 657 Danger is coming quietly
After Zhu Tianyuan left, Zhang Xiuying's smiling face immediately turned gloomy. The gentle mask was instantly peeled off, and her eyes were full of sinisterness and cruelty.
She whispered to Zhu Zhenglin, "Looking at your father's attitude towards Zhu Zhengting, you are really in danger now. We must get rid of Zhu Zhengting as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
"If that kid really manages to gain a firm foothold in your father's heart so smoothly, we won't have a good life in the future!"
Zhu Zhenglin's forehead was covered with sweat after hearing this. He was still a little worried and said with difficulty:
"What if Dad gets suspicious? What he said just now was really harsh. If he finds out, we'll all be finished."
Zhang Xiuying frowned, glared at her son impatiently, and scolded him in a low voice:
"What are you afraid of? As long as we do it cleanly, even if we have suspicions, we have to have evidence."
"If you keep hesitating like that, you'll never accomplish anything great! The killer is still here, so we need him to act quickly. Find the right moment and strike instantly. Don't drag it out any longer."
Zhu Zhenglin bit his lip, looking hesitant. "But Zhu Zhengting seems to have been on guard these past few days. He even sent everyone away and hid at home for several days. Even though he's out now, he's probably still on guard."
"Hmph!" Zhang Xiuying snorted coldly, "What can he do no matter how vigilant he is? He can't just hide away every day. We have to find a way to lure him out and let him down. Then it will be much easier for the assassin to strike."
"Pay close attention to his movements over the next few days, and find an opportunity to create some noise and lure him to the right place."
Zhu Zhenglin nodded helplessly. Although he was still nervous, he knew that things had come to this point and he could only do what his mother said.
He secretly clenched his fists, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Okay, Mom, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
Zhang Xiuying looked at her son's back, the viciousness in her eyes became even stronger, and she muttered to herself:
"Zhu Zhengting, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for blocking my son's path. Everything in the Zhu family will belong to my son sooner or later. No one can take it away from me!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly into the house. Her figure seemed to be wrapped in a strong chill, appearing particularly eerie in the Zhu family's old house.
That night.
After completing a day's tasks, Zhu Zhengting drove alone on the road.
Because he was worried that the people around him might be spies, he had no one around him and even cooked by himself these days.
This made Zhu Zhengting, who had never been in the kitchen since he was a child, very uncomfortable.
But he didn't dare order takeout or ask the restaurant to deliver food to him, for fear that the food delivered would be poisonous.
"Oh, when will this hard time end?"
In the kitchen, Zhu Zhengting was working hard to cut vegetables. However, it would be more accurate to say that he was chopping vegetables rather than cutting them. The potatoes he cut were wider than French fries.
While cutting vegetables, he wondered if Lu Feng was worrying too much. No matter how much his stepmother and brother disliked him, they would never kill him.
The consequences of doing so are too serious. After all, no matter what, he is the eldest son of the Zhu family. If he dies unexpectedly, the entire Shenzhen city will be shaken.
At that time, the entire Zhu family will make every effort to investigate the cause of his death. It has nothing to do with anything else, just because he is the eldest son of the Zhu family and the biological son of the head of the Zhu family.
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and his originally tense heart began to slowly relax.
He even started thinking about calling the nanny from the villa over first. He had been eating white porridge every day these days and was almost turning into the porridge.
But he thought a lot, but he never thought that people would take risks for the sake of profit.
Zhu Tianyuan has the final say in the Zhu family, but he cannot do everything.
If the current Zhu family is compared to a dynasty, Zhu Tianyuan is the emperor, Zhu Zhengting himself is the eldest prince, his younger brother Zhu Zhenglin is the most favored prince, and his stepmother Zhang Xiuying is the new queen.
The position of the head of the Zhu family is the supreme throne.
Previously, the eldest prince had lost power under the manipulation of the queen and was on the verge of losing the chance to become the crown prince. At this time, the eldest prince was safe.
But now he is slowly rising again and has even won the attention of the emperor.
At this time, the queen must be very restless, because once the eldest prince gets the throne, she, who once excluded the eldest prince, will definitely have a hard time.
So in order to ensure her own safety and for the sake of her son, she will definitely take the risk, even if she will be torn to pieces because of it.
This kind of thing has occurred more than once in China's thousands of years of history. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin launched a mutiny, killed his brother, imprisoned his father, and sat on the supreme throne.
For example, Hu Hai of the Qin Dynasty, in alliance with Prime Minister Li Si and eunuch Zhao Gao, killed his own brother, also for the supreme power.
There were crackling sounds in the kitchen. Zhu Zhengting was concentrating on preparing his dinner and didn't notice that two sneaky figures had appeared around the villa.
One of the figures was relatively thin, but his movements were extremely agile.
I saw him first jogging a few steps along the base of the wall with his back bent, and then suddenly accelerating, rushing towards the wall like an arrow.
At the moment when he was about to hit the wall, he pushed off the ground with his legs, and his whole body flew into the air. He grabbed the top of the wall accurately with both hands, and then turned over neatly and landed steadily inside the wall. The whole process was done in one go without making any unnecessary sound.
The other figure was tall and burly, like a moving mountain.
He first looked around and after confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he slowly stepped back a few steps, then took a deep breath and rushed towards the wall like a bull.
When he got close to the wall, he slammed his hands against it, and with the powerful force, he lifted his legs up and easily climbed over the wall. When he landed, there was only a very slight "puff" sound.
They thought that their actions were unnoticed, but they didn't know that in the dark of the villa, there were two pairs of eyes that were watching their every move clearly, just like a cheetah staring at its prey.
These are the two bodyguards Lu Feng arranged to secretly protect Zhu Zhengting.
One of the bodyguards was impatient. When he saw the two uninvited guests climbing over the wall, he suddenly became angry, glared at them, and subconsciously wanted to rush out to get rid of them.
His right hand was tightly gripping the sword at his waist, and his body was slightly leaning forward, as if he was about to pounce on the two killers like a tiger out of a cage in the next second.
However, just as he was about to take action, another bodyguard beside him grabbed his arm.
