Chapter 228 Family interests above all else
The second uncle's heart tightened, fearing that he would be discovered. But Liu Guangtian just glanced at her and returned to his conversation with the woman.
The second uncle secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to observe them quietly.
After a while, the woman stood up and patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder, as if to say goodbye. The second uncle immediately seized the opportunity and walked over quickly.
"Guangtian, hello." The second uncle pretended to be unintentional and spoke.
Liu Guangtian looked up and saw the second uncle with a surprised look on his face. "Ah, it's the second uncle, why are you here?"
"I came here by chance, and came over to say hello when I saw you." The second uncle said with a smile.
"I see." Liu Guangtian smiled, "What's the matter?"
The second uncle's heart moved, he knew now was the time to test it. "Nothing special, I just want to chat with you."
Liu Guangtian nodded, "Okay, we can find a place to sit down."
The second uncle and Liu Guangtian found a quiet corner to sit down and started chatting. He tried to find clues from Liu Guangtian's words to understand the relationship between him and the woman.
"Do you have any new business cooperation recently?" asked the second uncle tentatively.
Liu Guangtian thought for a while and said, "Recently, there are some plans for cooperation, but they are still under discussion."
The second uncle's heart moved. He felt that Liu Guangtian's answer was a bit vague, as if he was hiding something.
"Have you had private contact with a woman recently?" the second uncle asked directly.
Liu Guangtian's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. "Second Master, you misunderstood. I just have some business dealings with her."
The second uncle calmly observed Liu Guangtian's expression and words. He felt that Liu Guangtian's explanation was a bit far-fetched, as if it was hiding some unknown secret.
"Okay, I believe you." The second uncle said, "But I hope you can remain honest and not let the family down."
Liu Guangtian listened and nodded, "I will, Second Uncle."
The second uncle thought to himself that Liu Guangtian's behavior was definitely not a simple business transaction. He realized that he had to take action and could not just sit there and wait for death.
After returning home, the second uncle immediately summoned some important members of the family, including Shi Fangren, Fu Heyi and Yan Bugui, to discuss countermeasures.
"Second uncle, what do you want to talk to us about?" Shi Fangren looked at the second uncle and asked.
The second uncle said in a deep voice: "I found something unusual about Liu Guangtian."
Fu Heyi frowned after hearing this, "Liu Guangtian? What did he do again?"
The second uncle told them in detail what happened last night, especially the private meeting between Liu Guangtian and the middle-aged woman. He emphasized the content of their conversation and Liu Guangtian's evasive attitude towards him.
"This matter doesn't look simple." Yan Bugui frowned, "What on earth is Liu Guangtian doing?"
Shi Fangren also echoed: "Yes, his behavior is really too suspicious."
The second uncle nodded and said, "I think he must have some conspiracy. We must be vigilant."
Fu Heyi took a deep breath and thought, "What should we do?"
The second uncle pondered for a moment, and then decided to bring out his discovery to threaten Liu Guangtian. "I plan to talk to Liu Guangtian directly, put this matter on the table, and see how he explains it."
Shi Fangren nodded in agreement, "Yes, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative."
Yan Bugui frowned, "But we must be careful not to let Liu Guangtian detect our intentions."
Fu Heyi nodded and said, "We can observe for a while and see what Liu Guangtian does."
The second uncle listened carefully to everyone's opinions and decided to take action. "Okay, let's observe for a while. If Liu Guangtian still doesn't make any moves, I will talk to him in person."
Shi Fangren and others agreed with the Second Uncle's decision. They knew that they had to remain vigilant and not take it lightly.
In the next few days, the family members secretly observed Liu Guangtian's movements, but found nothing unusual. Liu Guangtian continued his business activities, and everything seemed normal.
While the family members were secretly observing Liu Guangtian's movements, the second uncle decided to take a more cautious action to test Liu Guangtian's true intentions. He planned to convey a message through Liu Guangtian to see how he would react.
So, the second uncle found Liu Guangtian and asked for a private meeting. Liu Guangtian was a little surprised, but he still agreed.
The meeting place was set in a quiet teahouse. The second uncle and Liu Guangtian sat down in a hidden box and began to talk.
"Guangtian, I know there have been some misunderstandings between us recently." The second uncle said straight to the point.
Liu Guangtian looked at the Second Uncle with a bit of surprise, "Misunderstanding? Second Uncle, do you mean..."
"I'm talking about your recent behavior." The second uncle interrupted him, "I found that you had some private dealings with certain people, which made me feel uneasy."
Liu Guangtian was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, "Second Uncle, I know what you are talking about, but you misunderstood. I only have some business dealings with those people, and there is no other intention."
The second uncle stared at Liu Guangtian closely, trying to find clues from his eyes and expression. "Are you sure?"
Liu Guangtian nodded firmly, "Yes, Second Uncle, I promise you."
The second uncle pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay, I believe you this time."
Liu Guangtian showed a trace of relief on his face. He knew that this meeting was very important to him. "Thank you, Uncle Er, for giving me a chance."
"But I also hope you can understand that the interests of the family are above all else." The second uncle said firmly, "If you have something to hide, it's best to confess as soon as possible."
Liu Guangtian nodded solemnly, “I understand, Second Uncle, I will remain honest and will not let you down.”
The second uncle thought to himself that he could not easily trust Liu Guangtian, but he could not doubt him without any basis. He decided to give Liu Guangtian some more time to observe his actions and see if he could keep his promise.
After the meeting, the second uncle returned home and told other family members about the situation. They were a little surprised by Liu Guangtian's behavior, but they also decided to remain vigilant and pay close attention to his every move.
