Then Ye Fang helped Xiaozhuang slowly walk out of the observation room. Xiaozhuang just fell down and sprained his ankle, so he was limping. As soon as the two walked to the hospital lobby, they saw several luxury cars suddenly arriving at the entrance of the hospital, and then many people got out of the luxury cars. The first one was a middle-aged couple, crying and shouting "National Day... "My son!" The group of people walked towards the hospital, and Ye Fang saw the sign in the direction of the morgue.

"Mr. Ye, that should be Ma Guoqing's family, right? It seems that they are also from a wealthy family." Xiaozhuang glanced at the several luxury cars at the door and said.

"If rich people can keep a low profile, they will die slower." Ye Fang said while supporting Xiaozhuang.

It was already early in the morning, and it was New Year's Eve today. The two of them waited at the entrance of the hospital for a long time, but no taxi passed by. At this moment, a group of people came out of the hospital. They were Ma Guoqing's relatives and friends. At this time, a person in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Guoqing was killed by that person."

Ye Fangxun called over and saw that it was a young man, probably one of Ma Guoqing's younger brothers who escaped. Ma Guoqing's relatives were immediately incited and ran towards Ye Fang, surrounding Ye Fang and Xiaozhuang. Ye Fang protected Xiaozhuang behind him and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Let me ask you, did you kill Guoqing?" The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Ma Guoqing. He should be Ma Guoqing's father. At this time, he was looking at Ye Ye with a gloomy face. square.

"I don't want something like this to happen. The Public Security Bureau has detailed records of Ma Guoqing's murder. You should know exactly how your son died. If I were the murderer, I wouldn't be standing here now." Ye Fang He replied calmly.

"If it weren't for you, my family would not have died on National Day. You must pay with your life!" The woman next to the middle-aged man cried and was stopped by the people next to her.

"The man who wanted to pay for your son's life is currently being held at the Public Security Bureau. You have found the wrong person." Ye Fang said.

"If your son hadn't been trying to cause trouble behind his back, this wouldn't have happened." Xiaozhuang stood behind Ye Fang and interjected.

"It is the fault of a son not to teach his father. I admit that my son was wrong first. I will not let go of any of his gang of bad friends. But my son died for you. You should admit it." Ma Guoqing's father Ma Zhengping said coldly.

Although Ma Guoqing made a mistake first, in a sense, he did die for himself. Ye Fang must admit this.

"I agree. I will visit his grave every Qingming Festival." Ye Fang replied.

"Our Ma family never lacks people to sweep graves and offer incense. No matter how bad the National Day is, he is the only son of my Ma family. I recognize that he alone has this fate today, but my Ma family cannot recognize it." Ma Zhengping said solemnly.

Ma Zhengping looked like the tycoon of the shopping mall at first glance, and the domineering and unquestionable tone in his tone was unmistakable. It was because Ye Fang didn't know the intention of Ma Zhengping's words today, so he would not let himself pay for it. Ye Fang knew that it was best to keep quiet at this time. After all, his son had just died, so he was weak even if he was reasonable.

"I won't embarrass you today. We'll wait until the National Day funeral arrangements are finished. I hope you can come and see him off that day." After saying this, Ma Zhengping waved his hand and everyone left. Ye Fang saw Ma Zhengping casually in the crowd. He glanced back at Ye Fang, and then whispered a few words to the assistant-looking man next to him.

"Mr. Ye, you really want to go to Ma Guoqing's funeral. If you go, the Ma family will have to skin you alive," Xiaozhuang said.

Ye Fang sighed, shook his head and said helplessly, "Other people are watching a party during the Chinese New Year, but I am watching a funeral during the Chinese New Year." Just as Ye Fang and Xiaozhuang continued to wait for the car at the entrance of the hospital, suddenly a car stopped steadily. In front of the two of them, with the car window rolled down, it was the assistant beside Ma Zhengping.

"I am Mr. Ma's secretary Xu Ping. Seeing that you can't get a taxi, Mr. Ma asked me to take you home." Xu Ping replied.

Xiaozhuang glared at Ye Fang, as if seeking Ye Fang's opinion. Ye Fang knew that he couldn't get a taxi at this time, so he simply helped Xiaozhuang get into the car. Ye Fang told Xu Ping the address of Xiyuan. Xu Ping was slightly startled when he heard this, because he knew that the place Ye Fang reported was the compound where high-ranking dignitaries in the capital used to live. The Ma family also had a courtyard in that place, and Ma Zhengping would occasionally go there to rest.

"Could this inconspicuous-looking young man be a young man from the big courtyard?" Xu Ping speculated in his mind, and then drove towards Xiyuan.

Xiaozhuang had been tired all day, and was frightened again at night. He fell asleep in Ye Fang's arms after getting in the car. Ye Fang was a little bit dumbfounded. After spending a Valentine's Day together, Ye Fang felt that Xiaozhuang really regarded him as his boyfriend, so he fell asleep without any hesitation. The hospital was still some distance from Xiyuan, so Ye Fang started chatting with Xu Ping. He also wanted to know what the Ma family did.

This conversation shocked Ye Fang. It turned out that the Ma family was also one of the wealthy families in the capital, not an ordinary small family. The ancestor of the Ma family was once one of the eight shopkeepers under the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan. He once managed a million-tael silver business for Hu Xueyan and was the right-hand man of the Hu family's enterprise. In his later years, Hu Xueyan had a premonition that the imperial court was going to take action against him, so he dismissed his family and subordinates in advance.

At that time, the Ma family got a small part of Hu Xueyannuo's huge industry. After that, the Ma family moved around Jiangsu and Zhejiang incognito and relied on the contacts they had accumulated to do business. After liberation, the Ma family returned to the capital. After a hundred years of business, the Ma family was established. Huge industry today.

Ye Fang learned that the Ma family's main business was industry, and basically continued Hu Xueyan's idea of ​​​​serving the country through industry. It mainly engaged in textiles, building materials, and minerals. It also dabbled in some commercial real estate and invested in various industries. If the Qijia started out in finance, then the Ma family started out in real estate and business. In terms of strength, the Qijia and the Ma family can be said to be on par with Qihu, but in terms of historical background, the Qijia cannot catch up with the Ma family.

However, unlike the Qi family who act in a high-profile manner in the financial world, the Ma family has always believed in the ancestral precepts of being a low-key person and doing business pragmatically. Therefore, news about the Ma family is rarely heard in the eyes of the world. However, there is a poem in the wealthy circles of the capital, "White jade is for "Tangjin makes a horse" is a description of the Ma family's wealth.

Now the entire Ma Group is managed by Ma Zhengping. It is precisely because the group is too busy that he neglects to discipline his son Ma Guoqing. Ma Guoqing's mother, Wang Xiuyun, is extremely doting on Ma Guoqing. Over time, Ma Guoqing has developed into an arrogant person. Arrogant character.

"I knew something was going to happen sooner or later during National Day, but I didn't expect that I would lose my life." Xu Ping felt a little regretful.
