Hidden Moth-Chapter 173 - 91: Petals Ride the Wind, Becoming Spring Soil

He Kao took a deep breath, his eyes bright in the darkness, staring at Gu Yunteng, "I’ve been reading lately, books I never would have looked at before, and I learned a term called disenchantment.

The safety deposit box of Qi Yuan Commercial Bank, the style from twenty years ago, I saw it with my own eyes. Before seeing it, I thought it was so secure, but after seeing it, it’s just two ordinary mechanical locks.

They say the bank and the client have a key each, and both must be present to open it, but I can unlock that lock with just some simple tools.

My family has been carpenters for generations, I know many small techniques, my father did too. The real challenge is how to get into that place? I suppose Hidden Moth isn’t omnipotent and has to know where he’s going.

So he rented a safety deposit box at the same bank to store and retrieve things as reconnaissance. As for how he knew to go to that bank, maybe it was information you provided, or maybe not.

I don’t know exactly what he did, nor am I clear whether what you said about Jia the Sixth is true or false, but he got that material, yet didn’t bring it out, leaving it in the deposit box.

Inside is your incriminating evidence, which terrifies you, and as long as it doesn’t surface, you can’t be at ease, even if he’s no longer alive, you’re always on edge, not daring to act recklessly.

I’ve made the most benevolent guess possible, and reached this conclusion! It’s his threat to you, and a way to protect his family, that’s why I’ve never heard of it in twenty years.

Maybe in his view, twenty years later, you’d have ended up like Jia the Sixth long ago, but didn’t expect your business to grow bigger and for your life to become more prosperous.

That material is what I mailed out, a total of two hundred copies, sent to different units across the country. According to ’Piao Gate Law,’ it’s called ’Do not defy trouble, first inform the authorities.’

I heard you’ve already passed the investigation team two days ago, I should congratulate you.

But there’s one unfortunate thing, if that material had been exposed twenty years ago, it would have been enough to execute you. But you evaded it and lived twenty more years, and now that material lacks sufficient evidence, no longer able to convict you.

So I say, there’s no need to dwell on past incidents, only speak of matters I can confirm personally.

On the night of October 4th, I was kidnapped by Zhao Hai Zhen, that group came for Hidden Moth. But Zhao Hai Zhen also pressed me about the material, asking if I got any materials from that bank’s safety deposit box? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

That one sentence exposed you as his accomplice. Perhaps Zhao Hai Zhen doesn’t care, because he would never let me live, and surely you don’t care, because you also don’t think I would survive.

All this happened before I mailed out that material, it wasn’t me provoking you; it was you, you all who intended to kill me. Initially, I planned to follow Qian Guran’s advice, pretend I hadn’t seen it!

What is this? According to ’Piao Gate Law’, it’s called ’Do not court trouble, conceal technique within.’

The other day, my house faced a new hurdle, happening to me personally, your son went too far. The reason he dared and could do this wasn’t because he has a father like you?

No matter what you say, I’ve heard clearly, my father died because of you, now your son bullies me. Isn’t what you’ve done to us father and son too excessive?

I’m still alive, not because you found conscience or showed mercy. I remember ’Piao Gate Law’ has a final rule ’Do not leave disaster behind, decisively end when needed,’ so now a resolution must be made!"

He Kao seemed to let out all the words pent up in his heart. The more he spoke, the deeper Gu Yunteng’s heart sank, instinctively sensing trouble, but He Kao’s sharp gaze seemed to pierce into the soul, leaving him immobile.
