He Mei did not intend to hide it from her son. She walked to her son's bedside, sat down, and said to her son, "Something happened to your dad. We must leave the house immediately."
"..." Long Yixi was dumbfounded. Something happened to dad?
Dad is on a business trip abroad, how could something happen?
"Mom, this..." Long Yixi wanted to ask his mother, but before he could ask, he heard his mother say.
"Yixi, it's true. Your dad really...had an accident." He Mei was really sure now. Pei Hongyi was not joking just now, and she couldn't get through her call to Chenghe. Something must have happened.
Otherwise, he could have contacted Chenghe when he called just now.
"But my dad went on a business trip to country E, how could something happen?" Long Yixi couldn't figure out what happened to his dad?
Even if something happens, you and your mother don't have to leave home. This is your home, a safe haven for the whole family, and a warm haven. No matter how difficult it is, you can't leave your home.
Just before He Mei answered her son, there was a sudden knock on the door of Long Yixi's room.
The voice made He Mei and Long Yixi's already nervous moods become even more tense.
He Mei and Long Yixi looked at the door at the same time.
"Who?" He Mei asked.
"Madam, it's me," a nanny said standing at the door. "Sir's friend, Deputy Director Zhang, is on the first floor. He said he wants to see you."
After hearing what the nanny said, Long Yixi immediately said, "It's Uncle Zhang."
Uncle Zhang has a very good relationship with his father. He often came to the house to see his father and chatted with him in the study.
He Mei also knew that Deputy Director Zhang and Chenghe had a good relationship. Although she had already guessed what Deputy Director Zhang had come to see her at home, she could not make up her mind.
He Mei looked at her son.
Long Yixi also guessed in his heart that Uncle Zhang must have come to tell his mother about his father.
"Mom, let Uncle Zhang come up." Long Yixi said to his mother that he didn't know what happened to his father. If Uncle Zhang knew, he especially wanted to hear what Uncle Zhang said.
He Mei also nodded and agreed to her son because of the urge in her heart to know the truth.
"Deputy Director Zhang, please come upstairs." He Mei said to the door.
"Okay." After the nanny answered, she left.
Although Long Yixi didn't get up, there was nothing inappropriate about wearing pajamas. Moreover, he was a child, so even if he didn't pay attention to his image in front of Uncle Zhang, it wouldn't have much influence.
He Mei got up and went to the door, opened it, and waited for Deputy Director Zhang to come upstairs.
After Deputy Director Zhang hurried upstairs, he saw He Mei standing at the door of Yi Xi's room and the expression on her face, and he immediately understood.
It seems that He Mei and Yi Xi already know what happened.
"He Mei." Deputy Director Zhang called out hurriedly.
I often came to the Long family to discuss things with Chenghe, so I was familiar with He Mei and Yi Xi, as well as the location of the Long family room.
"Well, come in and talk." He Mei nodded and said to Deputy Director Zhang, because Xiaoqing was still packing her clothes in the master bedroom upstairs, and nannies passed by from time to time on the second floor, so it was not okay to talk in the corridor or at the door.
Not safe.
"Um……"
Deputy Director Zhang walked into Long Yixi's room.
"Uncle Zhang, what happened to my dad?" Long Yixi had already gotten off the bed and hurriedly walked to Uncle Zhang to ask.
Deputy Director Zhang saw Yi Xi's worried look and He Mei's expression. He did not immediately answer Yi Xi's words and asked He Mei and Yi Xi, "Do you all know?"
"Pei Hongyi came here just now and said something happened to Chenghe. I couldn't get through to Chenghe when I called him." He Mei said truthfully. She believed Deputy Director Zhang more than Pei Hongyi because Chenghe once said in front of her,
He has a good relationship with Deputy Director Zhang.
"Well, something happened to Chenghe." Deputy Director Zhang nodded firmly and said.
At this time, He Mei and Long Yixi had no choice but to believe it, and they no longer even had any doubts.
"Brother Zhang, Cheng He..." He Mei asked, feeling very scared.
Deputy Director Zhang knew that He Mei and Yi Xi would suffer a great blow if he told the truth about the matter, but they are Chenghe's family members. Sooner or later they will know the truth of the matter and they will have to face it sooner or later. So now,
Just let them face it sooner.
"Chenghe went to country E to discuss a business project this time. The news may have leaked out and he was targeted by the police in Westport, so Chenghe was on his way to escape..." Deputy Director Zhang paused before continuing.
He said, "There was a car accident and he fell into a cliff. He... was there..."
After hearing this, He Mei was completely shocked. She couldn't help but take two steps back and covered her mouth with one hand, looking surprised.
He Mei couldn't even imagine such a scene. It was too terrifying and cruel...
Long Yixi was even more surprised and stood there blankly, unable to react for a long time.
After he came to his senses, Long Yixi asked Uncle Zhang, "Why does my dad want to interfere in business projects?"
After saying that, Long Yixi looked at his mother again, thought for a moment, and then asked her, "Mom, do you know these things?"
Although I am just a child and a student now, I am still clear about the laws and regulations of my country. What my father did is obviously illegal.
Seeing her son's surprised and deeply shocked look, He Mei couldn't bear to hide anything from her son anymore, so she nodded and admitted.
Deputy Director Zhang knew that Yi Xi had not known about it before, and He Mei did not know much about Chenghe, so he did not dwell on this topic.
"Now that things have happened, let's think about it..." Deputy Director Zhang was interrupted by He Mei before he finished speaking.
Because He Mei suddenly thought of something.
"I was wondering, who leaked the news?" He Mei said that she knew Chenghe, and if it was an important matter, Chenghe would definitely handle it well and not let others know, and she remembered it now.
, before Chenghe went on a business trip, he told himself and his son, especially himself, not to tell anyone about his business trip.
"It depends on who knows about this incident. Those who know, have they told people in the political circles or the police?" Deputy Director Zhang said that he also thought about this issue on the way to Long's house, but he also thought about it.
I don’t know who knows about Cheng He’s trip to Country E this time, or else they can make some guesses and investigate.
"Chenghe didn't say who he told," He Mei said as she thought, "I didn't tell anyone."
"I told Xiaomei." Long Yixi continued what his mother said. He once accidentally told Xiaomei. (To be continued)
