Gu Yanshen's expression did not change, he just said "Huh", held Zijin's lower back with one hand, and with a little force, he asked her to get off the balcony. He did not continue to speak, and Ji Yang naturally did not dare to
He spoke casually, and then heard him say in a gentle voice that he had never shown in front of anyone, "...There is food in the kitchen. You go and eat some first, and I will answer the phone."
After a few seconds, I heard Gu Yanshen say in another rigorous tone: "——Tell me what you have investigated."
Ji Yang pursed his lips and told Gu Yanshen all the information he had just investigated.
"Mr. Gu, in the western suburbs that you asked me to investigate before, I have already investigated the people from City B and the list sent by Situ Lin one by one. After that, one of them has a special identity, and the others
Yes, there should be no problem, it just ties in with the matter you asked me to investigate the prison in City B before."
Gu Yanshen just listened, with a deep handsome face and a gloomy expression. His instinct was to take out the cigarette and hold it on his lips, but as soon as his slender fingers touched the cigarette case, he remembered the arrogant man just now.
The little woman's appearance made his heart feel soft, and he finally endured it.
His big palms were placed directly on the balcony countertop, his tall body leaned slightly, and he looked into the distance, "...continue talking."
"...There are three prisons in City B, and only one of them is special. For people in City B, the prison is a 'living grave', because those who go in are almost unlikely to have a chance to come out.
Unless someone has a strong background, or someone outside is constantly overturning the case and appealing, they may have a chance to come out, because it is said that some of the people who entered there were arranged by people above, and they probably know some things that should not be done.
Things he knew, or he did something he shouldn't have done. People outside think that the people in that prison are all extremely vicious people, but that's not the case. Of course, these are all confidential.
, but by coincidence, among the list of those who came from city B to city C and arrived in the western suburbs, there was a woman who had just been paroled from that prison some time ago."
Gu Yan frowned deeply and glanced at the sliding door behind him. He happened to see Zijin holding a plate with some sandwiches he had just prepared for her. Knowing that she liked to eat, he specially made some for her.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, his eyes flickered and he lowered his voice and asked: "...What's that woman's name? Where is she now?"
"...Her name is Zhang Jinghua. She is 37 years old and is from City B. I investigated and found out that she was admitted because of an arson case 6 years ago. Because her brother-in-law is from the Justice Bureau of City B, so she has been here for the past 6 years.
Everyone was trying to overturn her case. She had been in prison for 6 years, but the case was still not overturned. Probably because of her brother-in-law's relationship, and because she had performed very well in the past 6 years, so she was given a chance to be paroled. However,
What’s very strange is that as soon as she got out of prison, she came to City C immediately, and she didn’t go anywhere else, she went directly to the western suburbs.”
The man's slender fingers kept tapping the railing, and the air seemed to slowly settle. Gu Yanshen spoke again, his voice even richer, "...she is in city B now?"
"Yes."
Of course Ji Yang knew Gu Yanshen and immediately asked: "...Mr. Gu, do you want me to find someone to invite her to City C?"
"No need." Gu Yanshen said calmly: "...I will go to City B myself."
Ji Yang responded, as if he was hesitant to speak. Gu Yanshen knew what he wanted to say, so he stepped forward and said, "I promised you before. Now that I'm back, you can go and rest."
Once your things are done, come back."
He paused and then ordered, "...you can go back and send me the photo of Zhang Jinghua. Just use your mobile phone."
Ji Yang said "I understand" and then hung up the phone.
…………
Gu Yanshen still couldn't hold it back. His long-term smoking habit made him even more uncontrollable when he was meditating. Because it was instinctive. By the time he reacted, the cigarette between his fingers had already been lit. He smoked heavily.
He took a puff of cigarette, his deep eyes were dark and unclear.
Zhang Jinghua, 37 years old, from City B, was imprisoned 6 years ago for a so-called "arson case". After being released not long ago, she came to City C, and even made a special trip to the western suburbs...
Gu Yanshen's mind was constantly beating with this information. Although he did not have the ability to be a prophet, his intuition still told him that there must be some inextricable relationship between them. He always felt that there was something vaguely
The date was about to surface, but on the other hand, he felt that this "thing" that surfaced would definitely be "earth-shaking" when the time comes.
…………
Reaching out to flick the cigarette ashes, Gu Yan's thick eyebrows were always furrowed. There were too many emotions floating in his heart. He needed the taste of nicotine to slowly calm down before he could analyze it properly.
But what he is very clear about now is that Zijin cannot know about this matter until any information is confirmed.
The sliding door behind him swiped, and Gu Yanshen regained his thoughts. When he turned around, he saw Zijin standing in front of him, pointing his slender little finger at the half of the cigarette between his fingers, and frowning, "...Why are you smoking again?"
"…………"
Gu Yanshen stretched out his hand to put out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray beside him. He reached out and put his arms around Zijin and walked into the room. When he saw that the plates on the table were empty, he knew that she must have finished eating.
"Do you like the sandwich I made?"
"not bad."
Zi Jin licked his red lips and gave him a 100 points very stingily.
Gu Yanshen didn't care much. He stretched out his hand to press her shoulders and looked down at her, "...Does that mean you can forgive me?"
Zijin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant by "forgiveness".
"Zijin, I went to England too suddenly. I didn't bring my mobile phone, and I didn't have time to contact you immediately. As a result, you were locked up in Qiao's house for 2 days and 2 nights. I feel very guilty. Sorry, it's like you
As I said, I wasn't by your side when you needed me, so if I go to England next time, I'll take you with me, okay?"
Zijin didn't really blame him for anything. In her heart, Gu Yanshen was such a perfect existence. She had always known how good he was to her. This time she was inexplicably locked up.
The Qiao family was indeed uneasy and panicked during this period, especially when she couldn't contact him, and she was really anxious. But when she calmed down and thought about it, she knew that he must have something important, otherwise, he would never
You will lose contact with yourself for no reason.
So she really didn't blame him. Of course, when a woman is angry, what she says are all angry words and cannot be trusted.
Now that she heard that he was taking her to the UK, Zijin felt a little uneasy. She didn't answer and asked, "...Why did you suddenly go to the UK this time? I never heard from you before."
"My mother had a little accident."
"Is she okay?"
"It's okay now."
Zijin said "Oh", always looking thoughtful but hesitant to speak. How could Gu Yanshen not see that? He reached out and pinched her cheek, frowned and said: "...what's the matter?
?Is there something you want to tell me?"
There is indeed something she wants to say to him. What happened at Qiao's house that day is like a pimple, which has always been burned into her heart. It would be too uncomfortable not to say it out.
"...I do have something I want to tell you."
Zi Jin took a deep breath - in this world, there are only a few trustworthy people around her now. If she doesn't tell him, who else can she tell?
…………
※※※※※
Xie Lingxi felt that she was about to be driven crazy.
Since Qiao Shiyun's housekeeper brought her to the ward of this hospital two days ago, she has never left. Of course, a doctor came in to examine her on the first day, but she did not know the final confirmed results.
, because the doctor only came in once, and after the examination, she has been locked in this room. The door was locked and the windows were locked. She could not get out. She did not bring any communication equipment with her.
In this way, I was locked in this room for two whole days.
…………
She didn't know what Qiao Shiyun meant, but she was really pregnant. This child was really Qiao Jinglian's. Why did the Qiao family treat her like this? And what was the meaning of locking her up for no reason?
No, she can't be locked up like this anymore. She must get out. She doesn't know what's going on outside now. After she made such a fuss in the hotel banquet hall that day, everyone outside now knows that she is pregnant.
The blood of the Qiao family?
…………
The more Xie Lingxi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She believed that Qiao Jinglian was not the kind of person who would do something harmful to the world, but there was another Qiao Shiyun. She remembered that she had met him in private. That old man's way of dealing with others was not what she thought.
It's imaginable.
If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running?
A person who can support a company as big as Qiao's must not be simple. What's more, she knows that she can't even handle a Gu Yanshen, let alone Gu Yanshen's father.
Xie Lingxi shuddered when she thought about this. She paced back and forth in the room like a trapped animal. Finally, she felt something was wrong, so she ran to the door and slapped the door panel hard.
"...Is there anyone outside? Open the door for me. I have something. I have something to say. Let me see Mr. Qiao...or let me see Jinglian. I really have something important to say. There is someone outside.
What?"
"…………"
"Is there anyone outside?"
"...Open the door for me...Open the door..."
"People outside, open the door for me... I know someone is outside, open the door for me..."
"…………"
Outside the door, Qiao Shiyun stood with a cane and a stern expression, followed by the housekeeper. Both of them looked at the closed door of the ward, and heard the voice coming from inside the door panel. The housekeeper said: "...Master, you need me.
Can you go in and talk to her?"
"Need not."
Qiao Shiyun answered quickly. He waved his hand without any unnecessary expression on his face and ordered coldly, "Don't let Jinglian see her. Let her stay in this room. Don't miss her three meals a day. Give her
She has good food and good housing, but don’t let her come out, do you understand what I mean?”
The housekeeper has been with Qiao Shiyun for most of his life, and he still doesn't know what he is thinking. He immediately nodded, "Yes, sir, I know, then... just let her go like this. If her willpower is strong enough, what will happen in her belly?"
Children may not be affected by pressure..."
"Confining her for a week will put her under great mental pressure. She is not in the early stages of pregnancy. She has had an abortion before, so her physical condition is naturally not good. The possibility of miscarriage will be greatest by then."
Qiao Shiyun stretched out his hand to indicate to the housekeeper that there was no need to say anything more. He frowned and suddenly asked, "Zi Jin hasn't come back in the past two days?"
"...On that day, someone saw the eldest young master...leaving the hotel with the young mistress. They were not seen again after that. The eldest young master should not have been to the company either."
Qiao Shiyun's eyes suddenly darkened, and a sinister look flashed across his face. He squeezed the crutch in his hand and snorted coldly, "No one saw it, and I know they are together! They are becoming more and more unscrupulous. It seems that I really can't do it anymore."
Let them continue to be so lawless! Go back and send a message to the British side. Just say, I want to prepare for my 50th birthday in advance. It just so happens that this time Yan Shen is in City C, so his mother can come back."
The butler is naturally a good person. When Qiao Shiyun said these few words, he would not know what he was planning. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I understand. I will go back and give the British side some air."
.”
He paused, but still couldn't hold it back and asked: "...So, is there any problem with Madam?"
When Li Muhua was mentioned, the gloom on Qiao Shiyun's face became even darker, "What right does she have to have problems? She can't handle her own affairs well. She knows how to cause trouble for me all the time. I don't settle accounts with her. It's all because of her."
My surname is Li. I will explain this matter to her clearly later. Didn’t she already secretly contact Huimin before? This time Yan Shen suddenly went to England, which is a good thing she did. "
The butler just nodded and said nothing.
Qiao Shiyun breathed heavily, stretched out his hand to pinch his aching temples, shook his head, "...there have been too many things lately, and I feel like my body is weak again."
The housekeeper quickly comforted him, "...Master, you have to take care of yourself. If possible, you can leave other things to me."
"I know what's going on—"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a slender figure walking towards the end of the corridor. Qiao Shiyun saw that it belonged to Qiao Jinglian. He quickly waved his hand and signaled the butler to go down first. When the butler left, Qiao Jinglian had already
Walked up to him.
"I'm here to see Lingling."
Even if the two people who had been together for many years separated for a while, he did not change the name he called Xie Lingxi. Qiao Jinglian thought there was nothing wrong with it. He was used to it, but Qiao Shiyun was obviously very dissatisfied. He looked at his son
He glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no need to see her for the time being. I have something to discuss with you. Come with me."
Qiao Jinglian, "…………"
Xie Lingxi's pregnancy test report was obtained as soon as she arrived at the hospital two days ago. She was indeed pregnant. Qiao Jinglian really found it unbelievable. At the same time, he also felt that God was playing a trick on him. When will he not get pregnant?
At this time, he knew very well that Xie Lingxi had never been with another man after she followed him. And at this time, she was pregnant, so the child must be his.
But...he was particularly confused. He would never be too decisive with a woman. What's more, this woman has been by his side for so many years. Even if the relationship has faded now, he still can't be too cold-blooded.
.
What outsiders don’t know about Qiao Jinglian is that he has never been a cold and hard person. His complicated and not warm family has created his arrogant personality, but deep down in his heart, there is no soft place.
?
He has been thinking about this issue for the past two days - children.
What should he do with Xie Lingxi's child?
And when he came today, he actually didn't think it through clearly. He just felt that it was wrong to leave her alone all the time, so he wanted to come over and see her. At this time, Qiao Shiyun said that he had something to talk to him, and he was also in a mess, so he simply
Instead of going in, he followed Qiao Shiyun directly into the next room.
As soon as the door closed, Qiao Shiyun was the first to ask him: "Have you finished the project that I asked you to terminate the contract with the Han family before?"
Qiao Jinglian was stunned for a moment. When he made a bet with Gu Yanshen before, he signed a contract directly with Han Yifeng. At that time, he found Han Yifeng's younger brother to be a lobbyist. He knew that the old man had always been taboo about having anything to do with government officials.
The project was involved, but in order to win over Gu Yanshen, he didn't care about that much at all, so he signed it. Later, Qiao Shiyun did find him and asked him to terminate the project, and even said that he would pay three times the compensation
liquidated damages.
It's just that Qiao Jinglian has never agreed with this matter. He used to not care about the company's affairs, but now because of his serious relationship with Gu Yanshen, he began to seriously deal with the project. In fact, he was not very interested in Qiao's. He had never lacked money and money since he was a child.
Power and status make him have a vague concept of these, and his desires are not deep, but no matter what, he still understands, so what if Qiao signed a contract with the government? Isn't the profit brought by it better?
What?
Moreover, even if Han Yifeng becomes the municipal party committee secretary in the future, it will be of great benefit to the Qiao family.
Which businessman doesn’t want to be associated with government officials?
So when Qiao Shiyun told him with a cautious face, he didn't take it too seriously. When he heard him mention it now, Qiao Jinglian frowned, "...I don't understand, why must the contract be terminated? Besides,
Three times the liquidated damages, no matter how rich Qiao is, there is no need for such squandering. Also, the Han family is not a problem at all. That piece of land is also beneficial to Han Yifeng himself when he signs a contract with it.
It’s harmless. When he runs for office, we, the Qiao family, will fully support him and he will be the most likely to be the municipal party committee secretary. I have already analyzed it, so why not do it?”
When Qiao Shiyun heard what he said, he knew that he had not terminated the contract, and immediately became furious, "I asked you to terminate the contract, and you terminate it. I have said it many times before, we Qiao family do not need to deal with anyone in the government
We have a cooperative relationship and you are my son, but you can’t remember this little thing?”
"Then it depends on whether your words are good for Mrs. Qiao!"
Qiao Jinglian looked unconvinced, "I don't think there is any problem, and I don't want to lose to Gu Yanshen for no reason. Also, didn't they also sign a contract with Su Junyan of the Su family for the project that Gu Yanshen took Zijin to do before?
Aren’t the Su family also involved in politics?”
"That's different. The piece of land belonging to the Su family belongs to Su Junyan personally, not to the entire Su family. Moreover, Su Junyan himself has little relationship with the government. He has not run for the next municipal party committee secretary."
"…………"
Qiao Jinglian really couldn't figure out why Qiao Shiyun was so opposed to this project, but at this time, he had no interest in arguing over such a project. Too many things had happened recently, and he had already forgotten about projects and the like.
I still don’t have much interest in talking about it now.
"...You asked me to come with you just to talk about this matter?"
Seeing his impatient look, Qiao Shiyun became even more furious. He picked up the coffee table in front of him with a cane and said sternly: "Jinglian, I tell you, you have to handle this matter well. You don't have much time."
, there will be an election there, I told you, our Qiao family should not get involved in government matters, you can terminate the contract with the Han family tomorrow, and our Qiao family will pay 3 times the liquidated damages."
"But……"
"Nothing but."
Qiao Shiyun interrupted Qiao Jinglian and said: "Originally, I planned to announce something on the 5th wedding anniversary, but Xie Lingxi messed it up. However, I planned to hold my 50th birthday in advance. By then, I
I will announce at the birthday banquet that all the Qiao shares in my name will be transferred to you."
Qiao Jinglian was stunned, thinking she didn't understand, "...all the Qiao shares? Then you...then Gu Yanshen..."
"Although Yan Shen is the president of Qiao's now, he doesn't hold as many shares as you do."
Qiao Shiyun looked at Qiao Jinglian and sighed softly. At this moment, his eyes seemed a bit like a father's expectations for his son.
——"Jinglian, you should also know that in my heart, your status is irreplaceable. So I have promised you before that Qiao will be yours. In about 2 months, you
Complete all the projects you were working on before, and I will find someone to help you, and then I will let you sit on the throne of Qiao's President in all glory."
