No such person [criminal investigation]

"I found a person named Zhu Xiu. After confirming her statement, the deceased was named Yuan Xiaobing, and the suspect we caught earlier was named Xie Qiao, but according to what she said, it was not Xie Qiao who killed Yuan Xiaobing. We are calling for relevant surveillance ..."

"Xie Qiao was exhausted and fainted. He is now in the town hospital, and the police have been sent to watch him. Huh? How is he? Oh, it's okay, he has woken up. We plan to take him back to the hospital when he gets better. take notes.

"This time the case involves illegal guns, so the nature is serious... Team Qi is coming soon? Okay, then you come to our office first?"

……

While talking on the phone with the local police, Qi Zang rushed to Yongquan Village after being notified.

When he arrived at the town police station, the gun that fell into the river had been fished out.After checking the guns with the police, Qi Zang quickly ruled out Xu Ci's suspicion of killing Yuan Xiaobing.

The reason is simple, there is only one bullet missing in the magazine of that gun——

Although the monitoring on the bridge is not a high-definition camera, it can clearly restore what happened.The missing bullet was fired by Yuan Xiaobing himself.

Although it is not clear what exactly Xu Ci was asking Yuan Xiaobing when he grabbed the gun on the bridge and pointed it at him, but since there is no second bullet missing from the magazine, there is no evidence that Xu Ci still has a second gun. , It was not Xu Ci who blasted Yuan Xiaobing's forehead.

The policeman immediately said: "It's good luck to be called Xie Qiao. In case Yuan Xiaobing used this gun before and the bullets are not full, Xie Qiao won't be able to tell for a while. He still needs to do gunpowder smoke reaction and ballistic analysis. of……"

Qi Zang shook his head.He pointed to the monitoring playback on the screen. "Xie Qiao has obviously practiced his skills. It is easy for him to subdue Yuan Xiaobing, and it is also easy for him to kill him. If he really wants to do this, he can do it on the bridge. Or after two people fall into the water, he can also take the opportunity to do it. And blamed everything on accident. Why did he insist on shooting people? This is unreasonable. In my opinion, he rescued Yuan Xiaobing from the water instead. Has the river monitoring been called?"

Frowning unconsciously, Qi Zang watched the surveillance again, and watched it slowly.

He clearly saw that Yuan Xiaobing came over on a motorcycle, and the first person to restrain him was Zhu Xiu.

Afterwards, Xu Ci raised his hands and walked up to him step by step, putting himself in danger and exchanging himself for Zhu Xiu.

I couldn't see Xu Ci's face clearly, nor could I imagine his expression.

But he is undoubtedly a hero in this way, and he finally overlaps with Xu Ci who said in class eight years ago that "being a policeman is for the dignity of the law".

Even though all the facts are against his own judgment, Qi Zang almost paranoidly believes that Xie Qiao is Xu Ci.

At this moment, this "belief" became even more firm.

After a while, Qi Zang went to meet Zhu Xiu in the interrogation room.

Zhu Xiu stood up nervously, and the first thing she asked was: "Well...how is Mr. Xie?"

After a while, Qi Zang spoke. "He's fine. Tell me why you came to Yongquan Village. Why did Xie Qiao come with you? What did you and Yuan Xiaobing do?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhu Xiu has nothing to hide anymore, starting from Yuan Xiaobing's few phone calls, he has explained everything in detail.

After hearing this, Qi Zang's expression did not show the slightest ease of turning the clouds to see the sun, but his brows became more and more wrinkled. "You mean, Xie Qiao wanted to send you to prison because he had already guessed that those people wanted to kill you?"

"Yes." Zhu Xiu bit her lip, with endless bitterness on her face, "I really didn't expect...Yuan Xiaobing listened to them for everything...He actually plotted against me with them. Mr. Xie said that they wanted to kill people Put the suspicion on me, and even kill me, come to a death without proof..."

Qi Zang was silent for a long time, with a serious expression on his face. "No, it's not just you. You and Yuan Xiaobing, they will kill each other."

In Yunmeng Lake in Baiyun Mountain, the salvage team salvaged two suitcases belonging to Liu Na and one of her classmates.

So it is obvious that Liu Na may not be the only person Yuan Xiaobing met that night.

Later Liu Na was killed, and most of her classmates escaped.

Why design such a contrived crime scene.

Why do you have to move the corpse back to the villa...

There is a certain criminal organization behind Yuan Xiaobing, and all this can finally be explained——

There was a group of people who killed a certain person and divided the body, and asked Yuan Xiaobing, who had worked as a security guard in Baiyun Mountain and was very familiar with it, to find a suitable place to bury the body.

Yuan Xiaobing did as he did, but unexpectedly two witnesses appeared in the middle of the night.He has no brains and is impulsive, ready to kill someone if he disagrees with him.

But he failed to kill two people, Liu Na died and the other escaped.

In a panic, Yuan Xiaobing probably called the group and asked what to do.

The other party will ask, who is the identity of the dead little girl? If she ran away from home and no one knew she was here, then she should be buried with the pile of corpses.

But by checking the ID card and other items in the girl's wallet, Yuan Xiaobing recognized who she was—it was Liu Na who he wanted to kidnap this time.

Liu Na came to Baiyun Mountain with a group of people, and the employees of the Beishui store all noticed it.

If she dares to disappear today, tomorrow the police may search the mountain on the spot.

It doesn't matter if they just search the mountains, or throw her far away from a cliff far away from Yunmeng Lake. After finding her body, the police will not follow the vines to fish out the body parts from the bottom of Yunmeng Lake.

But one witness escaped.

That person saw the scene of Yuan Xiaobing throwing body parts into Yunmeng Lake, and even saw him kill Liu Na.

With his confession, there is no need for the police to find out the body parts at the bottom of the lake, and then find out the identity of the dismembered dead.

In this way, Yuan Xiaobing was completely ruined.

Perhaps Yuan Xiaobing happened to know some secrets about that group of people, so they immediately decided to put the suspicion of murder on Yuan Xiaobing and kill him to silence him.

Not only Yuan Xiaobing.He was so close to his girlfriend, maybe Zhu Xiu knew something, and they wanted to kill Zhu Xiu too.

So, they ordered Yuan Xiaobing to bring Liu Na's body and a small part of the body parts that hadn't sunk into the lake back to the villa through telephone instructions, and set up such a scene.

They deceived Yuan Xiaobing, making him think that the so-called secret room could really blame Zhu Xiu, and then they were willing to kill Zhu Xiu with their own hands to silence him.

"The matter has come to this point, there is no other way. You can only ask Zhu Xiu to take the blame for you. Otherwise, you will be the one who will be imprisoned." I am afraid they will persuade Yuan Xiaobing like this.

Or they threatened Yuan Xiaobing directly. "Only by blaming Zhu Xiu can we save you and us. Otherwise, we will definitely kill you. Anyway, there is no way for everyone to survive."

In any case, Yuan Xiaobing didn't realize that they would deal with him, but agreed to blame Zhu Xiu for everything.

Those fake blood, copybook props are in Yuan Xiaobing's car.Maybe they were meant to be used against other people, and they happened to be used ahead of time.As for why the painting was found in Zhu Xiu's desk, it can only be that they found someone else afterwards, or Yuan Xiaobing himself sneaked into the school and put it in.

On the night of the incident, Yuan Xiaobing successfully acted according to their instructions. Up to that point, their plan was considered half successful.

The next thing they have to wait for is for Yuan Xiaobing to kill Zhu Xiu.

They will kill Yuan Xiaobing immediately after the incident.

Anyway, Yuan Xiaobing gambled in the society and borrowed usury loans. When the time comes, he will push it to any loan shark, or make some accident to kill him. All this will become a perfect closed loop——

Zhu Xiu and Yuan Xiaobing were the real culprits who killed Liu Na and an unknown deceased.Afterwards, the two turned against each other, Yuan Xiaobing killed Zhu Xiu, and then died unexpectedly.

There are no remaining suspects worthy of further police investigation.

The plan was perfect.

However, the appearance of Xu Ci disrupted everything.

Zhu Xiu did not die.

Judging that this move has been completely ruined and there is no room for maneuver, in order to avoid being exposed by Yuan Xiaobing to more secrets about themselves, they had no choice but to simply and roughly choose to kill him first.

Xu Ci is almost complete.

The timing of his message of support to Qi Zang was just right, ensuring the safety of Zhu Xiu, himself, and Yuan Xiaobing to the greatest extent.

But he probably didn't expect that even if the police arrived in two or three minutes, some of the "group" would dare to do something, and actually shot and killed Yuan Xiaobing.

At this moment, Qi Zang exhaled lightly, looked at Zhu Xiu, and asked again: "Did Xie Qiao say why he did this?"

Zhu Xiu frowned, probably as if he didn't believe it, so he said reluctantly: "He said he wanted to get back the 160 million for the bonus..."

For some reason, Qi Zang suddenly felt depressed and angry.

An inexplicable emotion filled his heart, making him restless.

The next moment, he heard Zhu Xiu say, "By the way, he also said..."

Qi Zang: "Say what?"

Zhu Xiu: "He said you are a good policeman. Even if he calls me a suspect, as long as I am not the murderer, you will definitely not wrongly accuse me..."

No one spoke in the interrogation room, and it was completely quiet, so quiet that Qi Zang could clearly hear his own breathing, as well as his heart beating faster and faster, almost jumping out of his chest.

·

After leaving the interrogation room, Qi Zang went to the corridor, couldn't help smoking, and even smoked three in a row.

This is actually too rare for Qi Zang.

In the criminal police team of the Jinning Municipal Bureau, the second team is full of old smokers. Their slogan is - solve the most difficult cases, stay up the hardest night, and smoke the most fierce cigarettes. The office is always smoky and smoky. The comrades complained endlessly and applied to be transferred to other teams.

Qi Zang's three teams are just the opposite.The main reason is that Qi Zang has strict requirements, and there are very few messy rules, such as not letting people fall in love or smoking.

"What do you need to solve a case? You need logic, you need reason! Love makes people demented, depraved, and even more painful! If you fall in love at a young age, give me a good job!"

"What is cigarettes? Do you know that smoking too much can cause lung cancer? How can we policemen die earlier than criminals? No one is allowed to smoke!"

These are all famous sayings that have been circulated from the three teams and are said to have come from Qi Zang.

So those who applied to transfer from the second team did not go to Qi Zang, and the first team became the place where everyone expected.

Speaking of which, there are some reasons why Qi Zang made so many rules.In his opinion, as much as Rong Yong, the deputy director, wanted to see him, Zhang Yunfu, the director, didn't want to see him as much.

The three teams were actually formed last year.

Before that, there were only two detachments in the Municipal Bureau. From the perspective of police strength, it should be expanded, but it was not possible to let the other two detachments grit their teeth to support them. Therefore, at the time, it seemed that three detachments did not necessarily need to exist.

Rong Yong recognized Qi Zang's ability, and strongly suggested setting up three teams, and strongly recommended Qi Zang as the captain.Zhang Yunfu is the one who has always opposed it.

Probably he thinks that although Qi Zang has strong personal abilities, he has a bad temper and loves to put on a bad face, and sometimes he is very stubborn, a bit like a thorn in the recruits and disobedient.

——How does such a person lead his subordinates?

Later, Zhang Yunfu reluctantly agreed to set up a third team.But at the same time, he also left all the unwanted people in other teams, or newcomers such as Li Zhengzheng and Bai Shuwei, to Qi Zang, which seemed to be a bit difficult.

Qi Zang has no experience in leading a team, so he can only make the rules stricter, and at least he has persisted until now.

Under such circumstances, Qi Zang knows how to lead by example. He has insisted on living alone for many years, and he almost never smokes in front of others.

He lived very restrained.

But today he was really depressed, and he couldn't relieve it after smoking three cigarettes.

He decided to go to the hospital to see Xu Ci.

The town hospital is very small, and the buildings look rather crude.

After entering the iron gate, Qi Zang backed out not long after.

He went to the store on the street and bought a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers.

Carrying a fruit basket in one hand and a bouquet in the other, Qi Zang walked into the town hospital.

When he walked in front of the hospital building, he looked at the car parked at the door in surprise.

It was a Lamborghini that was very flamboyant and flamboyant, and it didn't fit in with the small town atmosphere.

Frowning slightly, Qi Zang walked to the door of the ward and was about to knock on the door to enter when he heard a male voice inside——

"Brother Xie, how is it? Is there any discomfort?"

"I invited Dr. Wang to come over. Doctors in remote areas are unreliable. Let Dr. Wang see you again. Then we will go back to Jinning City Hospital. I have already contacted the doctor."

"Don't worry about the police. I will hire the best lawyer for you."

……

Outside the ward, Qi Zang frowned even tighter.

There was someone in Xu Ci's ward, and he sounded like a rich young man.

how?The Lamborghini downstairs is his?

·

Qi Zang did not enter the ward for the time being.

He turned around and went downstairs to the yard, feeling even more irritable, and smoked two more cigarettes, and then saw a tall, handsome young man coming out of the hospital building, sitting in a Lamborghini, Drove the car away.

He silently stared at the car, and then turned back to Xu Ci's ward.

As soon as he walked to the corridor, he saw another young man in a suit and leather shoes, with meticulously groomed hair and a business temperament similar to "Xie Qiao", who opened the door first and entered Xu Ci's ward.

When he reached the door of the room, Qi Zang listened unconsciously, and heard the person inside saying: "Mr. Xie, you peeled an apple for you. Do you want to eat it now? Do you want a drink of water?"

"Are you really okay? Look at your face... Is there any discomfort?"

……

Qi Zang was so irritable that he wanted to smoke a cigarette again.

But he suddenly realized that he was here to ask about the case.He had very good reasons for entering that ward.

So he knocked on the door three times, and Qi Zang said aggressively, "Police, ask questions!", then pushed the door open and walked in, with a domineering look on his face.

This arrogance disappeared immediately when he saw Xu Ci's pale and weak face and those dark pupils.

His voice became much softer, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Mr. Xie, did you bother me?"

·

The police wanted to question him, so Meng Yu had to leave.

Before leaving, he looked at Qi Zang warily, and left a sentence: "Our President Xie is still very weak. Please pay attention, don't speak harshly, and don't irritate him."

Qi Zang ignored him at all.Looking around the room, there were several baskets of exquisitely decorated flowers and several kinds of high-end and expensive supplements beside the hospital bed. In comparison, the flower baskets and fruits he bought randomly at the entrance of the hospital were simply out of reach.

Putting down these two things, Qi Zang casually grabbed a handful of hair, and his eyes fell on the fruit plate on the table beside the hospital bed.

The apples were cut into small pieces.

But it seemed that Xu Ci hadn't had time to eat yet.

Qi Zang took out an apple from the fruit basket he bought, went to Xu Ci and began to peel it.During the process, I did not forget to push away the plate of sliced ​​apples naturally.

The ward was very quiet, except for the rustling sound of apple peeling.

After peeling the apple, Qi Zang cut out a small piece, inserted it with a fruit knife and handed it to Xu Ci.

Xu Ci raised his eyelids to look at him and stuttered.

Qi Zang asked him, "How is it?"

Xu Ci: "It's a little sour."

Putting down the apple and knife, Qi Zang brought Xu Ci a glass of water. "Cough...then don't eat it. I'll buy it for you next time."

Afterwards, Xu Ci leaned against the head of the bed and did not answer, but just looked at Qi Zang quietly.

Qi Zang asked him again: "How is your body? Didn't you suffer any injuries?"

Xu Ci shook his head: "It's okay. I choked on some water and lost some strength when I rescued her. I pretended to be serious, but I just didn't want to go to the interrogation room."

Qi Zang smiled. "It's honest now. It's obvious that lies come out of your mouth."

Xu Ci didn't answer the question, took a sip of the water that Qi Zang handed over, thanked him, and then looked up and down at Qi Zang. "Smoking?"

Qi Zang lifted his collar and sniffed it. "Huh? Such a strong smell? Did it choke you?"

Xu Ci shook his head again. "No. I smoke one now and then."

Qi Zang asked naturally: "When did you learn to smoke?"

"You'll be in high school. During the rebellious period, you secretly smoked behind your parents' back." Xu Ci answered quickly, "You're asking... as if you knew me before."

This time, Qi Zang was silent.

After a while, he spoke casually. "The one who came to see you just now is..."

Xu Ci took another sip of water. "My boss and my subordinates. Which one are you seeing?"

"I've seen them all. Your boss and subordinates are very good. They came to see you from such a distance. I won't talk about the boss. How do you manage your subordinates? How can you respect you so much?" Qi Zang asked, "My subordinates Those little bastards have to go to the house every day to expose the tiles, and each one is sharper than the other—”

Hearing this, Xu Ci smiled slightly.

Seeing his smile, Qi Zang suddenly forgot what he wanted to say later.

Then he heard Xu Ci say: "Probably because you are more fierce."

Qi Zang immediately raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Where am I being fierce?"

"Just kidding." Xu Ci's voice sounded very sincere, "Actually, it's because you have a good personality, and everyone knows that you can take jokes. I'm different from you. They should actually feel that I have a sense of distance."

dusk.The orange and red of the setting sun climbed into the sky outside the window, and also warmed Xu Ci's pale face.This made his smile and eyes look very gentle at the moment.

Suddenly, Qi Zang remembered Xu Ci sitting by the window reading a book in the dormitory.

After eight years, the setting sun just saw two similar souls.

This made Qi Zang have the illusion that he and the person in front of him have not been separated for eight years, and that they are still standing in the same place.

But facts and illusions are completely different.

Time has imprinted different marks on the two people, and everything has changed.

But...but Qi Zang still wants to get closer to him.

I just don't know what Xu Ci is thinking now.

On that night eight years ago, he connived, acquiesced, and simply got drunk...

Or, does he really like himself that little bit?

What now?

Qi Zang's expression turned serious.

After a while, he opened his mouth, but asked Xu Ci: "Does the person who killed Yuan Xiaobing have any obvious characteristics?"

Xu Ci shook his head: "The kind wearing a hat and mask, with only eyes exposed."

"Yuan Xiaobing got into trouble with a dangerous criminal gang? You already noticed it? Why didn't you tell the police before?"

"I've noticed it a long time ago. As for why I didn't confess, it's personal reasons, so it's not convenient to disclose. I also want to protect my own safety."

"You really don't recognize the painting that says 'I killed you and ate you'?"

Seeing that Xu Ci didn't answer, Qi Zang said again: "Then let me change the question."

His tone became much heavier, and Qi Zang asked him, "Why did the killer who shot Yuan Xiaobing let you go?"

Xu Ci frowned all of a sudden.

As the sun slanted to the west, the light and shadow in the room became darker, and Xu Ci's expression also became indifferent.Raising a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, he looked at Shang Qi Zang with a probing gaze.

After a while, Xu Ci said in a voice without any emotion: "It's very simple. The police are too close to him. If they arrive at the scene and they don't find the murderer, they will immediately block the road and hunt down the murderer with all their strength. In that case, it will be very difficult for him. escape.

"But if there is a prime suspect at the scene, it's different.

"At that time, all the policemen thought I was the one who fired the shots. Naturally, they wanted to arrest me, interrogate me, and then look for evidence that could convict me... I am not a murderer. It is easy to find out, but it will take time even if it is easy. By the time the police reacted and wanted to arrest someone, he had already left far away.”

The scene by the river not long ago was somewhat like eight years ago.

He was a survivor at the hands of the executioners.

But just because he survived, everyone will definitely ask——

"Why didn't you die?"

"Why didn't you die?"

"They let you go, is it because you are with them?"

Xu Ci knew that Qi Zang certainly didn't mean that.

Even this question really made him have an unpleasant association.

Turning his gaze, Xu Ci looked out the window at the increasingly sinking sunset.

For such a long time, he has been staring at Qingfeng Group.

But in the past eight years, the four-color flower has disappeared and completely disappeared in China.Sometimes Xu Ci couldn't help but wonder if they would never appear again.

After finally discovering that Yuan Xiaobing seemed to be related to them, Xu Ci tried every means to find him, originally he just wanted to find some clues about their return through him.Unexpectedly, not only did they really come back, but they were also so blatant.

They made a comeback and returned to Jinning City... what do they want to do?

Obviously feeling that Xu Ci's emotions had become alienated, Qi Zang inevitably frowned.But his tone was soft. "Understood. We will investigate further. Be careful yourself."

The smile on Xu Ci's face disappeared.

He didn't even look at Qi Zang. "Actually, the root cause is my good luck. Officer Qi, I really depend on good luck to live until now. Maybe God thinks I still have something to do."

At first Xu Ci called Qi Zang "Officer Qi", but then he changed it to "Team Qi" without knowing it, and then suddenly changed back, as if the relationship between the two had returned to the original point.

Keenly aware of this, Qi Zang frowned even tighter.

He could feel that Xu Ci's emotions were not right when he said this.

He was probably angry.

No, it's not just anger, Xu Ci's eyebrows are almost tinged with hostility.

"Mr. Xie—"

Qi Zang wanted to say something, but Xu Ci had already issued the order to expel the guests. "Sorry, I want to rest for a while. Yuan Xiaobing left me some information. I will tell you when I make the transcript later."

Qi Zang realized that what he said just now probably offended him.

Why?

Standing up, Qi Zang finally walked towards the door of the ward.

Just as he put his hand on the doorknob, he heard Xu Ci ask, "Wait, let me ask you a question."

Qi Zang looked back at him. "Just ask."

"You just said that I was lying all the time—" Xu Ci turned his gaze back, and finally looked into Qi Zang's eyes again, "When I told you that something might happen in Yongquan Village and someone wanted to kill Zhu Xiu, you Are you not afraid that I will lie to you?"

For Qi Zang, the answer to this question requires no thought at all.

"What is there to be afraid of? If you lie to me, at worst, I will be complained by my colleagues here, and at worst, I will come here to treat them to a meal after I finish my work. How can this compare with human life? Yuan Xiaobing's side There is no way, it is our police duty to save you and Zhu Xiu, and it is also our luck this time."

"What if there is a 99% chance that I'm lying to you?"

"There is at least a 1% chance that it is true. Behind this 1% is a real human life. I will not bet on human life. No matter what, I will definitely persuade the local police to save people."

After a moment of silence, Qi Zang turned around.

Pressing his back against the door of the ward, he stared into Xu Ci's eyes, his expression hidden in the gradual shadow, showing a bit unpredictable.

"Although you are asking me this now...but you dare to play so big, you just know that I will call the police, right?

"Mr. Xie, can I understand that you know me and trust me?"

The setting sun sank even further.

Dusk turns thick.

Xu Ci's complexion seemed to soften a little.

Looking at Qi Zang, he finally said, "Thank you, Officer Qi."

Xu Ci's expression softened, but Qi Zang's was serious again.

He strode to the hospital bed and looked down at Xu Ci condescendingly. "Wait, I still have something to say."

Xu Ci: "Huh?"

Qi Zang frowned, and took out the tone of reprimanding his subordinates. "What you did today is very dangerous, don't do it again in the future.

"I don't care if you have any unspeakable secrets, or any 'personal reasons' that are inconvenient to say, please give your trust to the police. If you have doubts, call the police, we will help you solve the problem, don't think about everything on your own!

"You also said that you are lucky to be alive. What if the gangster really smashed your head today? You can still sit here with me safe and sound... Were you angry just now? If something really happened , can you still sit here and get angry with me?"

Xu Ci: "..."

Qi Zang said in a threatening tone: "Don't think you'll be fine if you don't talk. If you mess around again, I'll really handcuff you next time."

Xu Ci was very worried. "Thank you, Officer Qi, for your teaching, I understand."

·

Later that day, Xu Ci went to the town police station to make up the transcript, and the person who came to pick him up early the next morning was Lin Jingtong.

Lin Jingtong, the son of Lin Huaiyu, the chairman of Qingfeng Group, the executive president, in charge of finance, and the position of CFO.

He is only 26 years old this year. He went to Morrissburg College in Pennsylvania, USA in high school, and Duke University in college.

Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, Lin Jingtong did not grow up to be a playboy. He has a brilliant resume, a promising future, and he is also a good-looking talent.

Xu Ci lives in a small hotel near the police station, and the conditions are very simple.

Lin Jingtong frowned as he walked in. "Brother Xie didn't fall asleep last night, right? I said I should take you to the hotel in the county."

Lin Jingtong didn't come alone, he also brought his servant and aunt.

Taking out a bowl of herbal porridge specially made for Xu Ci from the incubator, the aunt teased Lin Jingtong. "You didn't sleep well in the county last night, your eyes were blue. Go home and catch up on sleep!"

From the way the servant aunt got along with him, it can be seen that Lin Jingtong has a very easy-going personality.

He is indeed not like the rich second generation in the traditional sense, or the president in everyone's stereotype, but like a big boy.

Sitting in a simple hotel in a sportswear, he called Xu Ci warmly and affectionately. "Brother Xie, come on, drink up the porridge, and we'll go back to Jinning City."

Xu Ci served the porridge. "Boss Lin, please make a trip. You still live here. You should go back last night—"

Lin Jingtong quickly interrupted him. "How many times have I told you, don't call me that. You saved my life."

"Understood." Xu Ci nodded and said lightly, "Jing Tong."

Lin Jingtong laughed again. "During this time, you have to deal with work and deal with the police. It's hard work. Go back this time and take a few days off before going to work. The company's business is not urgent."

Xu Ci hesitated for a moment. "This time..."

Hearing this, Lin Jingtong sent his aunt away, leaving him and Xu Ci alone in the room.He looked at Xu Ci with a hint of guilt on his face. "It's my fault. I made you stare at him..."

The "he" mentioned in this passage refers, of course, to Lin Jingtong's half-brother, Guan Hongwen, who is in charge of the group's operations.

Chairman Lin Huaiyu was involved with Old K's influence, and even Lin Jingtong kept this matter secret.His eldest son, Guan Hongwen, took care of all the matters that could not be brought to the table.

This is why Lin Jingtong believes that his father trusts Guan Hongwen more.

When Lin Jingtong first returned to China and joined the company, he was the airborne prince in everyone's eyes.Many people didn't trust him, and he lived under the shadow of Guan Hongwen's henchmen. For a long time, he didn't trust anyone, including Xu Ci.

One time Xu Ci drove him on a business trip to Lin City, the driver suddenly had a stomachache, time was urgent, and he couldn't wait for other drivers to arrive, so Xu Ci took over the driving duties.

Not far from the company was the high-speed entrance. As soon as the car drove up, it was found that the brakes were broken.

Lin Jingtong panicked immediately, and it was Xu Ci who calmly asked him to call 110, asked the traffic police to quickly dispatch the police to help open a special greenway, clear the roadblocks along the road, guide other vehicles to give way, and notify the toll office to set aside a special passage; Calmly cooperate with the command of the traffic police to choose the lane, maintain the speed of the car, slowly release the accelerator after going to the emergency avoidance area, and slowly lift the handbrake to try to stop the car.

At the last moment, there was a car on the road that didn't obey the command, and suddenly turned to the emergency lane.

In order to prevent the two cars from colliding, Xu Ci could only turn the steering wheel to let the car crash into the railing next to him.

At this time, the speed of the car is not fast, and such actions will not endanger the lives of the people in the car.

But at the last moment, Xu Ci turned the steering wheel quickly, causing the driver's side of the vehicle to hit the railing, protecting Lin Jingtong as much as possible.

Afterwards, Xu Ci was seriously injured, and after a few days of observation in the ICU, Lin Jingtong was only slightly injured.

Since then, he has gained Lin Jingtong's most complete trust.

Of course Lin Jingtong suspected that this matter had something to do with Guan Hongwen.Kill himself, and he can inherit everything in the group.

But he can't do anything on the surface, only dare to investigate secretly.

He mentioned to Xu Ci that if he found clues related to his father's forces, Xu Ci would help him pay more attention and investigate secretly.

So before Xu resigned from Yongquan Village this time, he actually sent a WeChat report to Lin Jingtong, saying that he had discovered that Zhu Xiu had embezzled public funds for his boyfriend to gamble.And the one who extorted money from her boyfriend seemed to be related to that force.

Lin Jingtong told him to be careful, so he let him investigate, but unexpectedly there was a shooting.

"I didn't think carefully about what happened this time. I never imagined that in what era, they would dare to shoot directly at our territory in Yunhai Province?" Lin Jingtong frowned and hesitated, "My father is really, really ...but I really want to find out what he and Guan Hongwen want to do. It's not for my own benefit, I'm also for..."

Calmly looking at Lin Jingtong's expression for a while, Xu Ci said: "I understand. You think that their era should have passed by long ago. If they attract thunder, you and even the entire Qingfeng Group will be affected. You It’s about the bigger picture.”

Lin Jingtong: "Yes! That's what I mean!"

After being silent for a while, Xu Ci looked at him and said, "Of course you don't have to participate in those things. I think this is also your father's protection for you. If something happens to him, there will be at least one clean person in the family who can stay outside the prison." Inherit this group. But I think you have the right to know. Only in this way... Maybe you can help them and let them stop in time."

Everything Lin Huaiyu does is in a gray area. Once he and Guan Hongwen get involved one day and commit murder, extortion, or something even more terrifying, if Lin Jingtong knew in advance, he might be able to persuade them to prevent their punishment from being punished. .

This is what Xu Ci wanted to express.

Lin Jingtong immediately expressed his agreement. "Yes. I will not join forces with them. If I know everything in advance, I can make preparations. Otherwise, the whole group will be dragged down by them!"

"Well. You're a good boy."

Xu Ci said this very naturally.But there was a question mark in my heart.

The Lin family prospers and loses all.If something happened to his father, the whole group would explode, the public opinion would be stormed, the stock price would plummet, and the partners would stay away... How could Lin Jingtong be alone?

Lin Jingtong would not understand this truth.He wanted to know about his father's business, the real purpose, probably the main reason was to completely eliminate Guan Hongwen and make himself a real prince.

Lin Jingtong sighed. "I'm too powerless. It's also my fault that I was born ten years later than him. He entered the group so much earlier than me, and has too many cronies. Those of you who stand on my side will follow me and be wronged."

Xu Ci said seriously: "You are overthinking. It is my decision to choose who to trust. I also believe in my judgment. You are more suitable for that position than him. The chairman is a very courageous entrepreneur, but after all, he can't keep up It's time. As for that pass...he's not good at all."

Lin Jingtong smiled from the bottom of his heart. "Brother Xie, I can only trust you. You said that if I had chosen to go to Northwestern University, would I have met you earlier? Do you like Chicago?"

Xu Ci shook his head and said with a faint smile, "How old were you then? My program was only one year long, and I returned to China after finishing my studies."

Lin Jingtong picked up the porridge and put it in his hand. "Okay, let's go on, the porridge will be cold. Let's eat first, and we will go back to Jinning City after eating. Don't worry about your car. Find a driver and send it for inspection. If there is no problem, the driver will drive you back
