After going down the mountain, the beautiful CEO chased me

The butler placed a cup of steaming jasmine tea in front of Chen Ming, then slowly sat down with a serious expression.

He sighed softly, as if considering how to start his speech.

"In fact, there have always been some unknown secrets in the family. These secrets are related to the rise and fall of the family, and also to the life and death of everyone."

As soon as the butler finished speaking, Chen Ming felt a murderous atmosphere in the air.

"I know you have been looking for Xiao Zhang's whereabouts, and Xiao Zhang's disappearance may be related to these secrets. But before that, I must tell you that once these secrets are leaked, it will bring irreparable losses to the family."

The butler's voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that this matter was a great pressure for him.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and looked at the housekeeper with a firm gaze.

"I know the seriousness of this matter, but I must find Xiao Zhang. He is very important to me. Moreover, I cannot watch my family decline because of these secrets."

The butler nodded, seeming moved by Chen Ming's determination.

"Okay, then I'll tell you everything I know. In fact, there has always been a mysterious organization in the family that is responsible for guarding the family's secrets. The members of this organization are the most elite people in the family, but they must hide their identities and live in the dark."

"Is this organization related to Xiao Zhang's disappearance?" Chen Ming asked anxiously.

"Yes, Xiao Zhang, he is actually a member of this organization. The reason he disappeared is because he found some important clues about the family secrets, and these clues may bring disaster to the family."

The butler's voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid to face the truth that was to come.

A strong sense of uneasiness surged in Chen Ming's heart. He knew that Xiao Zhang might not know the whole story, but the real reason for his disappearance must be related to him.

"But Xiao Zhang didn't understand his true identity at the time, so he did some incredible things."

The housekeeper's words immediately attracted Chen Ming's attention. He wondered what the boy's true identity was. Was he an illegitimate child?

"In fact, the reason why the family was able to prosper in the past was that they did something immoral, but this had nothing to do with the main family, but rather a person from the side branch."

This immediately made Chen Ming feel a little surprised, but he also roughly guessed the situation.

Since he was cooperating with several foreign projects at the beginning, it means that he might have committed murder and robbery. After conflicts arose with these partners, he killed people and ran away with all the money.

Xiao Zhang should be a mixed-race child, which means that Xiao Zhang might be the child of one of these people and the foreign woman.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Ming's mind quickly, and he realized that this was not just a simple missing case, but a complex incident involving the rise and fall of a family and secrets.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

"So, where is Xiao Zhang now?" Chen Ming asked in a deep voice.

The butler sighed and shook his head, "I don't know either. After he discovered those secrets, he was taken away by people within the organization. His life or death is unknown. But what I can tell you is that he is most likely no longer alive."

Chen Ming's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't expect Xiao Zhang's fate to be so tragic.

But what shocked him even more was that this mysterious organization was able to deal with those who threatened the family secrets, including his friend Xiao Zhang.

"So, how many people are there in this organization now? Where are they?" Chen Ming asked.

The butler was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.

"This organization has a small number of members, but they are all elites in the family. They are scattered in various corners, and some are even abroad. But I don't know their specific locations."

Chen Ming nodded. He understood that he needed to investigate the organization more deeply in order to find clues about Xiao Zhang.

But more importantly, he needs to find out what secrets this organization is guarding and why it poses such a great threat to the family.

"So, what is this secret?" Chen Ming asked.

The butler fell silent again, as if hesitating whether to tell Chen Ming the secret.

But in the end, he spoke.

"In fact, this secret involves the origin and inheritance of the family. It is said that our family was once an ancient noble family with a mysterious power. However, this power is not mastered by everyone, and only certain people in the family can inherit it. And this power, once abused, will bring disaster to the family."

After hearing this, Chen Ming felt a chill in his heart.

He didn't expect that this secret was so important that it involved the life and death of his family.

"In fact, when you first thought that Xiao Zhang was the murderer, I already knew that you knew something about the situation, but the truth is not like that at all, because Xiao Zhang could not be the murderer."

At this moment, Chen Ming felt that everything was ridiculous. It turned out that he had worked so hard for so long, but in the end he was trapped.

"The people buried in the pit are indeed from the family, and some of them are also members of the family and the organization. They were killed because they should not make mistakes, and they should not betray the family."

At this moment, Chen Ming understood the whole truth and realized that there was no way for him to get what he wanted.

It turns out that the reason why the old man was poisoned was because he already knew that he was a target.

He did this simply because he didn't want his granddaughter to be implicated. If he could die first and protect his granddaughter's life, he would be willing to do so.

"The entire organization does not obey us at all, but obeys another person, but his whereabouts are always unknown, so we have no way to communicate on many things."

Precisely because there is no way to communicate about these matters, they can only follow the arrangements.

"That was many years ago. The reason these people died was not because they resigned from important positions in the family, but because they joined in the murders and robberies. Some of them were even the masterminds."

The family did make their fortune with these things, but these things came from illegal sources, so they would cause the entire family to be attacked by others.

The four major families would not easily give up investigating this matter, and at that time the leader of the entire organization quickly thought of a way.

All the people who were involved in the incident were killed, but unexpectedly, the leader was also ambushed by his subordinates.

"The leader of the organization has a son who was indeed born after being with that group of foreigners. That's the mixed-race Xiao Zhang."

Everything was exactly as I had guessed.
