fully control

No matter how smooth Lin Xi made the matter smooth at the beginning, the Cheng family would never accept the result of not seeing anyone alive or dead.With the merits of his ancestors continuing to this day, his family can be regarded as a powerful and powerful family.Cheng Liang, apart from his ulterior hobbies, to the Cheng family, he is an intelligent, motivated, hard-working, able to honor his ancestors and establish a family.

Missing?

If they don't dig three feet into the ground, they will definitely give up!

Two weeks after Cheng Liang's disappearance, the Gong family, as family friends of the Cheng family, was also entrusted by the Cheng family to contribute. It must be admitted that the most cutting-edge talents and technologies are in the military department, so when Dad Gong made a move, it was a very powerful one. ——At the scene of the first crime, Cheng Liang's villa in the deserted city was finally found.

In fact, the Cheng family had already found this place before, but they quickly ruled out the suspicion here.

The windowless room on the second floor with leather whips hanging on the wall stepped on Dad Cheng's nerves.As a father, it was only the first time he knew about Cheng Liang's ulterior hobby, so he didn't say that he was angry, at least he had a mentality that his family should not be exposed.Later, I heard the preliminary on-site inspection report: the place is very clean and tidy, and it doesn't look like anyone has been there at all.So, Dad Cheng ruled out this place with peace of mind.

What's more, at that time, the police suddenly sent the latest news that there were signs that two ex-prisoners had contact with Cheng Liang several times, and everyone's attention was immediately diverted.Those two ex-convicts were the two minions who kidnapped Xiao Ran.

The villa was left behind by the investigators, and the follow-up of the two minions was fruitless. The two of them seemed to disappear out of thin air, without any clues.Seeing that the matter had come to a dead end, Father Gong was entrusted by the Cheng family to take over and help. Father Gong had military power in his hands, and the military personnel were truly top-notch elite figures. Of course, they were not comparable to ordinary policemen.These people didn't pay attention to the previous investigation results at all, and they sorted it out from beginning to end, so, inevitably, Cheng Liang's deserted city villa was found out again. This time, the military's technical department directly gave There was a 'unusual here' comment.

Yes, that villa is unpopular and very clean and tidy, it is too clean and tidy!It was so clean that there were no fingerprints in the bathroom, and there was not a single hair in the windowless bedroom.Even if there were part-time workers cleaning and maintaining this place before, can your nanny clean the room and wipe off fingerprints on purpose?Your part-time aunt can vacuum the floor until not a single hair is gone?

So the conclusion is obvious, there used to be very professional anti-reconnaissance personnel who wiped out all traces!

Well, it can't be ruled out that Cheng Liang himself did something shady and cleaned up the place.Of course, according to the current trend, it is more likely that he stole the chicken himself and was wiped out by others.

After the crucial accident site is found, the direction of the investigation is clear. Next, Cheng Liang's past shady tricks, little hobbies, piles, pieces, and quilts that pull out carrots and bring out mud are one by one. Hanging in front of everyone.The old man of the Cheng family understood very well that although this was a necessary step to find out the whereabouts of his grandson, it was tantamount to directly lifting Cheng Liang's fig leaf.Not to mention whether Cheng Liang can be retrieved safely in the end, even if he can be unharmed, Cheng Liang's future career may stop here. Liang's reputation is a stain that can never be erased in his life.

He was originally the most progressive and promising descendant of the Cheng family... Now that the future is all ruined in this villa, for the whole Cheng family, especially the old man of the Cheng family, the resentment towards the mastermind behind this matter is not only It is limited to Cheng Liang's own safety, and there are a series of bad influences such as family reputation, future, and other people's careers.

"Check, if you die, you will pull out the person behind the scenes and cut him to pieces!" This is what the old man of the Cheng family asked in front of his sons and daughters, "Why don't we let things go first?" ' response.

"It's come to this point, if you stop now, can A Liang's reputation be regained? Why did you uncles and aunts put down your face and ask your nephew to help you? Now that A Liang's life and death are uncertain, you want to throw him out. Wash yourself off? Confused!" The old man of the Cheng family is worthy of having been in the officialdom all his life, and he can see clearly, "The Cheng family has not yet reached the point where everyone will betray their relatives and step on anyone, so why are you panicking now? You are in a mess!"

"It's just a small matter of human relations. Even if something is found out, as long as each of you stay steady, someone will buy the Cheng family's face in the end. If you can find out who is behind the scenes, you won't have to worry about finding a scapegoat... ..." Mr. Cheng has already placed the possibility of Cheng Liang's disappearance on some political opponents.

The Cheng family has the Cheng family's countermeasures, and the Gong family has their own views.

When Dad Gong heard the news of Cheng Liang's disappearance for the first time, his eyebrows jumped.Later, after learning that Cheng Liang had some shady hobbies and preferred pretty boys, Father Gong's mind flashed a shadow of a person. Of course, this suspicion was groundless.But Father Gong had to admit that everything was too coincidental. Cheng Liang had caused such a big incident just after that person joined their circle, and even brought out a scandal that could ruin Cheng Liang and even the entire Cheng family's future.

Although the suspicion was unfounded, it did not prevent Father Gong from pondering over and over again in his mind. Taking advantage of the Ching Ming Festival holiday, Father Gong quietly talked about Cheng Liang's disappearance with his son and daughter.

"Dad, I didn't realize that you're still so gossip?" Gong Shu squinted at her father, "If you like men, you can be men. Anyway, my brother likes women, so I'm sure I can pass on your family in the future!"

Father Gong patted the table, "I don't care if he likes father and mother? I just didn't expect...you all grew up together, do you know that he has some dubious friends?"

"People just like the same sex, why are they so nonsensical?" Gong Shuding didn't like to hear this.

"Don't mess around with me." Gong Bin threw the peeled chestnut kernels into the little girl's mouth, she didn't even understand her father's real intentions!The little hooligan of the Gong family replied to Dad Gong, "[-] people have asked this question. They said it was a child, but the little girl just came back from abroad, and I haven't stepped on the ground. I have been in the military camp all year round, and I only see you at New Year's parties all year round." See, Cheng Liang's friend, how could we know each other?"

"During the Chinese New Year party, you didn't find any clues?" Father Gong's spies were almost no longer spies.

"Cough...cough...cough..." Gong Bin choked on Li Ziren'er, "cough..."

Gong Shu handed over the tea, but Gong Bin pushed it away, "Ahem—beauty, make me a cup of Blue Mountain, thank you!"

"Is there another choice? Choke you to death!" Gong Shu knocked Gong Bin, turned and walked to the kitchen.

After sending the girl away, Gong Bin stopped coughing, and he no longer acted foolishly like before. In fact, Gong Bin also had his own suspicions about Cheng Liang, and he had suspected it a long time ago, but...

"I have some guesses, just guesses."

Father Gong looked at Gong Bin, "Tell me."

"On the day of the party, the younger brother of the Lin family was outstanding. Cheng Liang asked me if Xiao Ran was my little sister's boyfriend, and I said no. Actually, everyone was asking about Xiao Ran's background at that time, and Cheng Liang was not the only one, so I didn't take it seriously. There was no interaction between them that day." Until Cheng Liang's accident, Gong Bin didn't think of Xiao Ran, but later it was rumored that Cheng Liang had that habit, and that there was such an unknown villa behind him. , Gong Bin suddenly felt a sense of vigilance, which was a sixth sense for no reason. It happened that Gong Bin was a soldier, and the harsh survival training in the army made Gong Bin believe in his own sense of the unknown environment.So, he got serious, he thought about it, and then he noticed something was wrong.

"It was only later that I found out that Cheng Liang liked pretty boys. In fact, according to his secretive nature, I think if he knew that Xiao Ran was not our son-in-law, but also his own cup of tea, he wouldn't let it go. A good prey, according to common sense, it is normal for him to have a close relationship with Xiao Ran that day... But in fact, he kept quite a distance from Xiao Ran that day, they were complete strangers, others were new acquaintances with Xiao Ran, and they were not like him. Liang's performance made me feel later that it was a deliberate...to avoid suspicion."

"You suspect... Xiao Ran is in it..." Father Gong frowned.

"The Eldest Prince Lin is very fond of Xiao Ran." Gong Bin recalled the scene when Lin Xi sent them out during the Chinese New Year.At that time, I said "return to Zhao with perfect jade" in a sense of ridicule, but Lin Xi's attitude was very serious.Gong Bin thought for a while, and added, "When Cheng Liang disappeared, my younger sister said that Xiao Ran was ill for a while..."

"What do you say about Xiao Ran?" Gong Shu came back with coffee.

"You said that you are an outgoing girl. You haven't contacted Xiao Ran recently. I heard that he is sick?" Gong Bin immediately changed the topic.

"What is it about the almanac? Good morning." Gong Shu didn't feel that the news of Xiao Ran's illness was worth making a fuss about.

Gong Bin didn't say anything more, it was just a guess without evidence, but Gong's father's expression was very unpredictable.

According to Gong Bin's statement, Father Gong is almost certain that Lin Xi is behind it!His affirmation was unfounded, but Father Gong's doubt was more certain than Gong Bin's sixth-sense suspicion.Lin Xi is the only one who possesses the motivation, courage, and ability to do this.What made Father Gong even more concerned was that the investigation team hadn't found any trace of Cheng Liang's life or death. Instead, as the investigation deepened, the secretive things Cheng Liang had done were dragged out one by one. Coming out, it was as if there was an invisible hand guiding it, not only to make Cheng Liang ignorant of life and death, but also to ruin Cheng Liang's reputation, and even make the Cheng family follow suit——Cheng Liang's old man had already been a godson inside The review is lax, and currently I have to temporarily take sick leave due to physical reasons and stay at home to avoid the limelight.

Father Gong still didn't know that the tricks they found one after another were still pediatrics.

After the Ching Ming Festival, Lin Xi took Lin Xiaoran back to his old lair in Yishan. Less than a week later, the case of Cheng Liang’s disappearance had a major breakthrough—someone fished out a dead body in the Qinghe River—theoretically, This is just an ordinary homicide case, but after the highly decomposed autopsy report came out, the cranial reconstruction of the deceased pointed directly to a boy who had been with Cheng Liang. After DNA inspection, he shared the room with Cheng Liang. The DNA of the skin tissue in a crevice of a whip in the film matches, Cheng Liang, although no one is alive, no one is dead, but the hat of the murder suspect is still unquestionably on his head.

When the old man of the Gong family heard the news, he sat on the grand teacher's chair and shook his cattail fan, "Let's get rid of the Cheng family."

"I've already done that." Papa Gong said.Ever since he got involved in that kind of dishonor, the Cheng family could no longer get close.Father Gong knew it well, but, "I still don't quite understand..."

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" The old man of the Gong family sighed, "Revenge on the Cheng family's selfishness, show their strength for the public, knock mountains and shake tigers, and hide their secrets. A 32-year-old young man can play this game. Is such a person cooperative or hostile?"

"Don't father think that this kind of person is difficult to control?"

"Control? No, no, no," the old man Gong shook his head, "You don't understand, what he wants is cooperation, co-creation, mutual benefit, and equality and mutual benefit, the resources in his hands are destined not to depend on anyone... ..."

Father Gong understands the truth, but he can't turn the corner in his heart. First, Lin Xi is a bandit and he is a soldier. Second,...

"Aren't you afraid of seeking skin from a tiger?"

"Do you think he is crazy?" Mrs. Gong asked back.

Gong Ping understood what his old man meant.

A person who can ignore the law and morality usually loses himself when he is in power, just like Cheng Liang, his noble family background gave him reasons for arrogance, and the result of lack of self-restraint is that he becomes more crazy.Madness is always the prelude to destruction.But Lin Xi is obviously not. He is rational and sober to do those illegal activities of killing and arson, and committing all kinds of crimes.He is very clear about what he is doing, and before he makes a move, he also understands what he wants to get, the purpose, behavior, consequences, and the impact involved.

For Lin Xi, facing murder and arson is just a part of his daily work. He will not feel arrogance or guilt for a "engineering project", nor does he feel arrogant because he controls human life and dignity.To use a not-so-good analogy, it’s like the executioners in ancient times. They killed people, and they were used to killing people, but they didn’t really regard human life as nothing.They will not hack around with knives outside the court, and they will not think that they will go to the eighteenth floor of hell in the future, because for them, killing people is an act within the rules, and it is just a way to support their families. work.

By the same token, in Lin Xi's eyes, work is work, and no qualified leader would confuse work with personal feelings, let alone family.This is the prince.A genius who regards crime as a career and works hard in his career.

"He is a principled person." Mr. Gong used his 70 years of life experience to evaluate this future partner. He understands the rules and abides by the rules, so he will never lose himself under power. How do you say that sentence that Xiaobin often chanted? Don’t be afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs..." Mr. Gong smiled Now, compared to other people, such as the ineffective descendants of the Cheng family, Lin Xi is so calm and ruthless, how can he be a god-like teammate?

"Call him back. I think our Gong family is worth taking the gamble."
