"What? Water? What I'm asking is, who did you see?" Chen Liang's ability to observe words and expressions is not bad. When he saw Chen Zhanpeng frowning, he scolded Aunt Tian who was kneeling on the ground.
He has been with Chen Zhanpeng for all these years. Doesn't he still know what Mr. Peng's frown means?
Seeing that Aunt Tian was not willing to kill her, he had no way to save this woman. Besides, he had no intention of saving her in the first place, so he pointed at her and cursed: "I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, come on!"
"Master Peng, no! I really saw water. After cleaning for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a big puddle of water in this dry room! You have to believe me, Master Peng!"
At this time, two people walked in outside.
Chen Zhanpeng didn't even look at Aunt Tian, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and said sternly: "Take her down."
But at this time, after Chen Liang recalled Aunt Shimoda's last words, he suddenly remembered that night and couldn't help but make a bold guess in his heart.
"Master Peng."
Chen Zhanpeng also knew his confidant very well, and when he saw the way he hesitated to speak, he knew that he had something to say.
"Wait! You go down first!"
The two men withdrew again.
Aunt Tian thought that Chen Zhanpeng finally missed the old relationship and chose to believe in herself. She couldn't help but feel grateful and said with tears and runny nose: "Thank you, Master Peng! Thank you, Master Peng!"
Chen Zhanpeng didn't care about the maid, and glanced at Chen Liang, indicating that he could say something now.
"Master Peng, do you still remember what happened the night before that day that Aunt Tian said?"
Hearing Chen Liang say this, Chen Zhanpeng recalled it carefully, while not forgetting to mutter in his mouth to help his memory, saying: "The night before, the night before..."
Just when Chen Liang was revealing the answer to the mystery, Chen Zhanpeng suddenly remembered.
"The night before, was it the night when Aunt Fang and Uncle Xu both said they saw the thief?"
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Peng, it was that night." In front of Chen Zhanpeng, Chen Liang has been able to grasp the scale of speech well and will not flatter Guoguo too directly.
Chen Zhanpeng's ability to conquer such a large territory certainly depends on more than just the word "brave". After Chen Liang's reminder, he knew what Chen Liang wanted to say.
"You mean those gold bars were stolen by the thief? But have you all searched the house? You haven't found the thief yet? Even Aunt Fang and Uncle Xu said they didn't see what the thief looked like, saying they might have looked at it.
It’s so dazzling.”
Chen Liang hesitated deliberately, and then suddenly said as if he had made a lot of determination: "It's not like we have searched everything."
"Huh?" Chen Zhanpeng didn't understand why Chen Liang said this, and responded in confusion. In fact, he asked him to continue talking.
"Master Peng, do you still remember that night when the third grandma complained to you about me?" Chen Liang reminded Chen Zhanpeng that these things cannot be said directly. Accompanying a gentleman is like accompanying a tiger. On certain things, he
It is not possible to understand Chen Zhanpeng's thoughts all the time.
Chen Zhanpeng thought Chen Liang was still concerned about that incident, so he said: "Hey, Liangzi, you know me. You have been with me all these years. Don't I still know you? I won't doubt you if I doubt anyone!"
Chen Liang heard Chen Zhanpeng say this, but did not answer.
Chen Zhanpeng felt strange and raised his head with some dissatisfaction. When he saw Chen Liang's face, he suddenly understood what Chen Liang wanted to say.
"You mean..."
Hearing Chen Zhanpeng's words, Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said to Aunt Tian: "You go out first!"
"Thank you, Mr. Peng! Thank you, Mr. Peng!" Aunt Tian said with gratitude as if she was amnesty.
"Okay, you go out first!" Chen Zhanpeng felt a little irritated for no reason, and kicked the maid out impatiently.
Aunt Tian didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly stood up and trotted out.
Chen Zhanpeng is not stupid. When he heard what Chen Liang said, he heard the hint he just hinted at. Thinking of Aunt Tian's words and the puddle of water, he immediately knew what Chen Liang had not said.
"Who do you think is the most likely? Ye Shaolong?" Chen Zhanpeng had always had doubts about this, so when he heard Chen Liang's bold guess, he was neither excited nor surprised.
Chen Liang did not directly answer Chen Zhanpeng's words, but said: "I heard from Songzi and others that Donglin Orchard had no choice but to agree to the eldest lady's conditions, but at this juncture, it suddenly got a windfall.
"
Chen Zhanpeng also found what Chen Liang said strange. He never believed in coincidences. If he had to guess, the person behind this was not doing something well-intentioned, but he didn't want Donglin Orchard to be bought by Dongwang.
In other words, whoever least wants Donglin Orchard to be bought by Dongwang is the one who stole the gold bars and exchanged them for banknotes and then secretly rescued Donglin Orchard.
At this point, this answer, this person, is ready to be revealed.
"It's just the master, he and the Zhou family..."
"Go check this matter right away."
"Yes, Master Peng!"
*************Ye Shaolong suddenly sneezed and touched his nose.
Seeing that Ye Shaolong didn't answer her, Chen Peini hit Ye Shaolong with a flurry of pink fists and cursed: "You heartless person, you have done that to others, you bastard!"
"What did I do to you? You turned my clothes into wet rags from crying, and look at this..." Ye Shaolong pointed to the deep bite mark and showed it to Chen Peini.
"You deserve it!"
"Isn't it just a touch and a slap?" Ye Shaolong muttered immediately.
Chen Peini also had very sharp ears and was about to bite Ye Shaolong on the arm again, but unfortunately this guy dodged it.
"What else do you want? In short, you must be responsible if you are willing, and you must be responsible if you are not!"
"I……"
Chen Peini didn't expect that she was no longer ashamed. Ye Shaolong was still hesitant, so she immediately threw herself into his arms again and started crying.
"You're abandoning me again... wu wu..."
Crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. It seems that Chen Peini knows this well!
"Okay, stop crying, I'm responsible, I'm responsible, head office!" Ye Shaolong was really a little afraid of the woman crying, and water would come out of his clothes.
"Do you know? Even if my mother was forced into desperation by casinos and nightclubs, she finally had to marry that person! I still remember that when my mother was still in the west, she already knew my father. But the nightclub in Xitai
It was so inhumane that my mother had to flee to Dongcheng with my father."
"Although the nightclubs in Dongcheng are better than those in Xitai, the most unfortunate thing is that my mother was attracted by that man! After being rejected again and again, the man resorted to his best tricks!
First, he turned my father into a gambler, and finally sold my mother to that man."
"But my mother still refused, so in the end the man pretended to be kind and brought my aunt to Dongcheng, so that my mother and aunt could be reunited. Who would have thought that it didn't take long for my aunt to be forced by that man
It’s done...it’s done..."
When Chen Peini said this, she really couldn't go on.
Ye Shaolong didn't know what to say, but he was thinking about what Chen Peini said just now, "Although the nightclubs in Dongcheng are better than those in Xitai".
After Chen Peini took a breath, she continued: "Dao Youwei, who was later killed by my mother, told my mother that if I didn't obey, that person would kill my grandmother, who was in her fifties.
Forced to the point of..."
"Okay, don't cry anymore. As long as I'm here, once the time comes, I promise you that I will close the nightclub and casino."
Maybe she was tired from crying, or maybe she was relieved by Ye Shaolong's promise, so Chen Peini fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, she went to the casino and nightclub and looked inside and out. After observing for a day and night, she believed Ye Shaolong's words.
The reason why she believed Ye Shaolong last night was because she was infected by his true feelings. In addition, facing the threat from that guy, she had an idea and finally gave in temporarily.
However, the sentence about asking Ye Shaolong to be responsible is not without any sincerity. Chen Peini is a very traditional woman, so she must make Ye Shaolong responsible for her. But after seeing the casino and nightclub, she became even more determined.
Although she didn't quite understand Ye Shaolong's saying that there is a market only when there is demand, but after seeing that casinos have banned the use of wives and children as collateral, and nightclubs do not accept such transactions, she knew that she planned to marry a chicken or a dog.
The man with the dog was right.
With the nightclub and casino in his hands, at least he can harm less people.
As night falls, the atmosphere in the Chen family house is more solemn than usual.
"Master Peng, I've checked everything."
Chen Zhanpeng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then motioned for Chen Liang to continue.
"The clothes worn by the man who sold the gold bars were not seen by anyone, and they were found thrown into the trash can. However, those gold bars are very similar to the ones you didn't see, Mr. Peng! Basically, they are definitely from
It was stolen from the safe."
"Zhou didn't find it, but I found women who had contact with that guy before, and they all confirmed it."
Seeing Chen Liang pause, Chen Zhanpeng said impatiently: "Tell me."
"Yes, Master Peng." After Chen Liang took a breath, he immediately said: "That boy has never touched those women, but those women took the boy's money, thinking that he had some hidden illness.
So I didn’t tell anyone about it.”
When Chen Zhanpeng heard this, he slapped the table and said, "I knew it was like this. The last scene with Zhou was just a scene, a plot to lure you into a trap and get rid of Caitou and that stinky woman. Ye Shaolong
, you are so calculating!"
At this time, Zhao Lihua, who was bringing the midnight snack, heard Chen Zhanpeng talking about Ye Shaolong. After putting down the midnight snack, she suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Zhanpeng and said to him: "Master Peng, I have something to tell you. You don't know Ye Shaolong."
