Chen Xiao asked nonchalantly.
But his question left the other three people in the inquiry room stunned.
Why was Chen Yuan standing under the lifted stone lion?
Did this question really need to be asked?
Chen Ding was puzzled but still answered honestly:
"That's just how my dad is. Even though the money I've given him over the years, plus what my second brother has given, is enough for him to spend until he's a hundred years old, he's still petty in everything he does, not willing to take any loss. Yesterday, when the stone lion was being lifted, I think he wanted to see if the workers would bump into or scratch the stone lion, even if he didn't say anything."
"If they did, he would have a reason to dock some of their pay. But in the end, he didn't expect to lose his own life."
Chen Ding's statement was very much in line with Chen Yuan's character.
That's exactly the kind of person he was.
Chen Xiao found this explanation reasonable but still thought it didn't make sense.
