Chapter Summary
If his father didn't want his elder brother to fall from grace, he would have already planted a seed in Secretary Sun's inner circle. Although Secretary Sun was his father's right-hand man and had served him his entire life, compared to his elder brother, if his brother's life could be saved, Sun Li said that such a person would be eliminated sooner or later. If he hadn't changed over the years and hadn't met someone like Liu Ning, perhaps he would have been the one sacrificed.
Zhu Tianhua's face showed some difficulty. At this moment, Zhu Tianhua was thinking of going back to discuss it first. After all, this matter was too difficult. If he made the decision on his own, his father probably wouldn't agree. However, this opportunity was extremely rare, so he didn't want to give up so easily. As long as he could succeed, he would have the power of the family in his own hands. Wasn't this something he had dreamed of for many years? But if he was happy at this moment, Zhu Tianhua was really not happy. For Zhu Tianhua, it was better to have fewer such matters.
"Don't worry about your father's side. Think about it, even Secretary Sun was arrested, and your father didn't say a word. He's a very cautious person. If he didn't even know what Secretary Sun usually did or who he was in contact with, how could he let Secretary Sun continue to follow him? So this should be an opportunity given to you by your father. There are some things you need to understand. For your entire family, if you are to be wiped out, you still need to preserve the spark. You are the spark that can be preserved. So now you should put the greater good before your own family. I know this choice will be very painful for you, but it is also a way for you to protect yourself. Otherwise, you will also be implicated."
Everything Liu Ning said was correct, and Zhu Tianhua knew this too. However, he still felt some resistance to making a decision. Although the brothers were already like oil and water, this matter was different from other things. If it were judged, it would be more than enough to die ten times over. Therefore, Zhu Tianhua still couldn't make up his mind on this matter and looked hesitant.
If it were anyone else, they would have already taken action. Liu Ning didn't look down on this guy, but he felt the guy was too indecisive. Liu Ning knew his personality wasn't suited for this kind of development, so he had been waiting for this opportunity. Now it seemed that compared to Zhu Tianhua, Liu Ning wasn't much better. Because deep down, Liu Ning somewhat approved of Zhu Tianhua's actions. If he were asked to frame his elder brother, Liu Ning probably couldn't do it, regardless of the potential gains. He simply didn't have that thought, a principle he hadn't changed over the years, and it was the most frustrating thing.
After listening to Liu Ning's words, Zhu Tianhua seemed to have some thoughts on his mind. His father had been supporting him openly and secretly, but his elder brother's power was simply too strong. In the past half month, his father had given those people an ultimatum, demanding that they switch sides and join his ranks. However, many of them harbored too deep a hatred for him, so they simply couldn't turn back. Was this really an opportunity his father was giving him? Was he going to use Liu Ning and the Human Investigation Bureau to wipe out his elder brother's entire force in one fell swoop? If that were the case, then he had to seize this opportunity. He understood the principle that once this opportunity was gone, it would be gone forever. Therefore, he had to be ruthless at this moment. If he wasn't ruthless, he might very well be devoured by others.
Thinking about this, Zhu Tianhua could hardly believe it. Could it be that his father had orchestrated all of this himself? It made sense. If his father didn't want his elder brother to fall from grace, he would have already planted a seed in Secretary Sun's inner circle. Would Secretary Sun still be alive now? Although Secretary Sun was his father's right-hand man and had served him his entire life, compared to his elder brother, if his brother's life could be saved, Sun Li said that such a person would be eliminated sooner or later. But Secretary Sun survived, which meant one thing: his father wanted to use this incident to eliminate his elder brother's henchmen. As for his elder brother's life, that was up to fate. If his father lost his position as city lord, he might be able to save his elder brother's life; but if he wanted to seize power, then that life was truly gone.
It's not surprising that the city lord made such a choice. For large families like theirs, having various contingency plans is essential. Without such plans, there's little chance of winning. Everyone can see clearly that if you can weather this storm, your family might survive for a while. But if you're careless and turn against your own family, this situation could easily fall on your family, and then there'll be no chance left. It's precisely because of this that they all hope Zhu Tianhua can uphold justice and eliminate his own family. As a father, it's inconvenient to sow discord between his two sons, so this matter fell to Liu Ning. When Secretary Sun was arrested, Liu Ning received the information on his smart device.
It's difficult for Liu Ning to understand everything, especially such a comprehensive crackdown. If he could understand all this, he would be a qualified politician, but clearly he isn't. So, he needs to take things slowly. In the current situation, if Zhu Tianhua can put aside his own family ties for the greater good, he can still gain considerable merit. After all, no one else has the ability to wipe out his brother in one fell swoop; he knows everything about his brother. So, this guy has to work hard. The Human Investigation Bureau can also see this. If he does well enough, he might even reap some rewards. Of course, it all depends on his own situation. If he can't, then it's all for nothing.
After figuring everything out, Zhu Tianhua suddenly felt a chill run through him. His father had schemed everything, even his own two sons. If it weren't for Liu Ning's guidance, Zhu Tianhua would still be in the dark. That's why Zhu Tianhua felt so cold. His father was incredibly ruthless, even willing to sacrifice his own sons. Fortunately, he was chosen. If he hadn't changed over the years and hadn't met someone like Liu Ning, perhaps he would have been the one sacrificed. Zhu Tianhua understood that his father was first and foremost the head of a large family, and only then their father. To ensure the family's survival, his father had to do many things, especially things he didn't want to do. Because of this, they all had to cooperate fully.
