1277: I Am Your Uncle, Eddie Hess

Even if Hawkins was still a free man in the police station and could still rest his foot on the table while the chief was in the same room as him…

So what?

He could act freely in the station, but once he got out of this place, he would be drowned in the spits of the netizens. He might even get attacked with rotten eggs.

Plus, most of the citizens in the Centrals were used to being expressive with their opinions. This was why the police wouldn’t dare to make any reckless decisions.

If they gave him a simple execution or released Hawkins, the people of the country might start a protest out of fury, and they might even start attacking the Medical Federation, along with the Hills and Hess families.

Just when Hawkins and the Hess family were trying to think of a way to free themselves from this, Du Yanzheng got a call from Eddie Hess.

Du Yanzheng had been busy as he had just finished the last part of his election campaign. They were only waiting for the results to arrive.

This was why Du Yanzheng was at the government’s office instead of his own company.

When he saw Eddie, Du Yanzheng didn’t say a word. Eddie knew that his nephew was the same as Zhan Lichuan and they were both hostile toward the Hess family. However, no matter how hard it might be, Eddie would have to bring them back to the Hess family. He would at least have to try to convince them not to hate the Hess family.

Both these brothers had a strong hatred toward their family. He had reasons to believe that Hawkins only ended up in such a state due to these brothers.

One of them had a good physique while the other had a sharp brain.

“Yanzheng, I am your uncle, Eddie Hess. Do you….remember me? Although your mother left the household with your father when you were born, I still visited you often. Do you remember that?”

“Yes.” Du Yanzheng did not tell the truth about how he had already forgotten everything. Since he and his brother were experts in acting and playing dumb, Du Yanzheng decided to go along with it.

Eddie smiled and said, “It’s fortunate that you remember it. It’s great to hear that. When your mother passed, I heard that your entire family died. I tried looking for both of you for a long time, but I couldn’t. I didn’t think that both of you escaped and both turned out to be so outstanding.”

Du Yanzheng was different from his younger brother. Zhan Lichuan was a gentleman who could be nice if he wanted to and cold when he needed to be. However, for Du Yanzheng, according to how Jinqian described it, this man was a zombie. There were no expressions on his face.

“En.”

Du Yanzheng didn’t give any response, and he didn’t say anything else.

Eddie felt a little awkward, but he still continued, “Ah Chuan didn’t tell me who his elder brother was, so I had to look for you myself. I spent the whole day with your aunt before learning that you are actually my nephew. This was why it took me so long to call you.”

Du Yanzheng finally spoke. “I am close with my brother, and the reason why he didn’t tell you about me isn’t because he is ashamed of me. He just takes you as an outsider and doesn’t want to share things with you. You don’t have to say these to get in between me and my brother.”

As he thought about how he tried to take Qianqian away from his brother and even got his cousin sister to mess with Ah Chuan in his darkest days, Du Yanzheng felt guilty.

But, Eddie did not know about all this.

Instead, Eddie thought that Du Yanzheng was the same as Zhan Lichuan, and both hated their uncle.
