After saying this, Xu Chuan shut up, as if he didn't want to talk anymore. He even lowered his head again and stopped looking at Shi Weichong and Shi Jin.
Shi Weichong provoked Xu Chuan a few times, but to no avail.
Xu Chuan had been Shi Xingrui's lawyer for many years and knew the Shi family's situation too well. He was also a very capable lawyer with no ties. He didn't want to speak, and no one could do anything to him.
The conversation made no progress. Shi Jin looked at Xu Chuan and said the second sentence after he came in: "Who are you looking at through me?"
Shi Weichong frowned when he heard this.
Xu Chuan moved, raised his head again, and looked at Shi Jin without saying a word.
"When I was fat before, you never looked at me like this." Shi Jin looked straight into Xu Chuan's eyes, letting Xiao Si add a little buff to himself. He deliberately lowered his voice and slowed down his speech and asked, "Third brother said that I look a lot like my mother. Do you know her?"
Xu Chuan's eyes moved, and his sight moved inch by inch, from Shi Jin's eyebrows to his nose, and finally fell on his lips. His Adam's apple moved, and he said, "The most similar part is the lips... Why do you want to lose weight! You don't deserve to have this face! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
He suddenly jumped up and reached out to grab Shi Jin's face. Shi Weichong's expression changed, and he stood up in front of Shi Jin. He stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Chuan back hard, and shouted, "Calm down!"
Xiang Aoting outside the door also pushed the door open and rushed in. With a sullen face, he grabbed Xu Chuan who was lying on the ground and handcuffed him to a chair.
"Tsk." Xu Chuan suddenly calmed down again, leaning on the chair, looking back at Xiang Aoting, then at Shi Weichong, but not at Shi Jin, and said maliciously, "Shi Weichong, I admit that you are very resourceful. You pulled the strings when a few brothers said so. It was obviously an equal share, but Ruixing still fell into your hands in the end. But you are really ridiculous. It was you who instigated others to play the game of ganging up and squeezing out the youngest brother. Now you are pretending to be brothers?"
Shi Weichong's face was as gloomy as water. He did not refute his words. He only said: "I owe Xiaojin, and I will pay it back. Who do you think you are? You want to sow discord between people instead of harming them?"
"Creating discord? No, I just think it's ridiculous." Xu Chuan lowered his head and his voice became lower, with a sense of boredom that he had nothing to ask for in life. "Shi Weichong, take care of yourself. Shi Jin is a rubbish that doesn't deserve to be your brother. And Shi Jin, you are really the typical example of someone who is sold out and still helps others count money. You deserve to be waste."
"Enough!" Shi Weichong stood up, walked around and punched Xu Chuan directly, then walked back and pulled up Shi Jin who was still sitting, and took him out, not wanting to listen to Xu Chuan's crazy words anymore.
Xu Chuan's head was tilted by the punch, and he stuck out his tongue and poked his cheek. He looked at Shi Jin who was walking and looking back, and suddenly smiled, and said silently: They want to hurt you, run.
Shi Jin frowned fiercely.
"Damn it, what did you say!" Xiang Aoting pulled Xu Chuan over and stopped him from looking at Shi Jin.
Xu Chuan lowered his head and laughed, his voice getting louder and louder, his expression as crazy as a madman.
Shi Jin slowly retracted his gaze, and followed Shi Weichong out of the interrogation room, shutting Xu Chuan's laughter behind the door.
Just now, after Xu Chuan gave that silent reminder, his progress bar dropped to 700. This was the largest one-time drop in the progress bar since he entered City B - there is no doubt that this drop in the progress bar was related to the reduction in lethal factors, and had nothing to do with survival factors.
Xu Chuan must be one of the murderers who wanted to harm him, but Xu Chuan's attitude was too contradictory. He obviously hated him, but the last hint seemed to be helping him.
What did that hint mean? Was it implying that Shi Weichong and the others were bad?
He looked at Shi Wei Chong who was walking in front of him and shook his head again - no, Shi Wei Chong and his friends are not the murderers. Maybe the "they" Xu Chuan mentioned is not Shi Wei Chong and his friends, but someone else, such as...Xu Tianhua?
And what is the secret behind Xu Chuan's strange attitude after seeing his face?
"Xiao Jin." Shi Wei Chong suddenly stopped, let go of Shi Jin's arm and turned around.
Shi Jin was thinking about Xu Chuan's words, and didn't react for a while, and directly bumped into Shi Wei Chong's arms.
Shi Wei Chong was stunned, then raised his hand to hold his shoulder, hugged him gently, and said: "Xiao Jin, I'm sorry about the past." Shi Jin
came back to his senses, raised his hand to pat Shi Wei Chong's shoulder, and said: "Don't say sorry, I can understand, Xu Chuan just wants to provoke our relationship, I won't be fooled."
Shi Wei Chong hugged his hand tightly, then let go of him, raised his hand to touch his head, and said: "Thank you, Xiao Jin." Shi Jin
shook his head and smiled at him.
Since he chose to believe Shi Wei Chong, then before there is solid evidence that Shi Wei Chong does have other intentions, he will never overturn this trust that has been hard to build because of the crazy words said by others.
When going back, Xiang Aoting also got in the car and sent Shi Jin off with Shi Wei Chong.
Seeing that the two had calmed down, Shi Jin asked, "Big brother, fourth brother, Xu Chuan seems to know my mother and dislikes me because I look like her. Do you know anything about my mother?"
Xiang Aoting shook his head and replied, "I only know that your mother was brought back from a remote town by your father. She lived with your father for two years and died not long after you were born. It seems that she was injured during childbirth." The
information he gave was very vague. It was all things mentioned in the original plot. There was no valuable information.
Shi Jin looked at Shi Weichong. As the eldest son, Shi Weichong had more opportunities to get along with Shi Xingrui than the other brothers, so the information he knew should be more detailed.
Sure enough, Shi Weichong thought about it and said something different: "Your mother was not very old. She was less than 20 years old when she gave birth to you. I didn't have many opportunities to see her. Since she appeared, Dad seldom looked for us, especially after you were born. Dad almost completely ignored us brothers until your mother passed away, then he met us again. And before your mother appeared, Dad hadn't looked for a woman for a long time. I remember that Dad had the idea of holding a wedding with your mother and getting a marriage certificate." Shi
Jin felt complicated when he heard this, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Shi Weichong and others must have felt very uncomfortable at that time because their father neglected and even almost abandoned them because of a young woman who suddenly appeared. At that time, Shi Weichong and others were just a group of children around ten years old.
"It's nothing, we're used to it." Xiang Aoting comforted him, and his tone became lighter when he mentioned Shi Xingrui, "Whether your mother showed up or not, Shi Xingrui never treated me and my elder brother as his sons."
Shi Weichong's expression also faded, and he drove quietly. After a long while, he continued, "In fact, I always thought that Dad's words about marrying your mother were just another way to coax a woman. It wasn't until your mother passed away and Dad raised you carefully by his side that I changed my mind. You mean something to Dad differently, and this has never changed."
Shi Jin was silent, not knowing how to respond.
They were all sons, but the original owner had always been the special one. This was the most fundamental reason for the conflict between the original owner and his five brothers. No matter what he said now, he felt that he was being unreasonable.
"Xu Chuan knew your mother during the two years when your mother was with your father." Shi Weichong suddenly changed the subject, and his tone returned to normal. "If you want to find out the source of his weird attitude, you must start from those two years."
Shi Jin came back to his senses, nodded in response, and did not continue with this topic that made people feel unhappy. After
returning to the club, Shi Jin went to Lian Jun to report the situation, and told him about Xu Chuan's weird attitude and his own speculations, trying his best to tell everything he knew.
At the end he sighed and lowered his voice: "I originally wanted to ask my eldest brothers about our father's attitude towards my mother before she appeared, but the looks on my eldest and fourth brothers' faces at the time made it hard for me to ask."
Lian Jun still had his head down at the documents. He didn't reply or interrupt him, and it was unclear whether he was listening or not.
Shi Jin simply lay down on the table, muttering to himself, "In fact, I have heard a little rumor that my father looked for my eldest brother and his mother not because he liked them, but just wanted to have more sons. As far as I can remember, I have never met my eldest brother and his mother. My father deliberately avoided my meeting with them and blurred their existence. Before my eldest brother and his family came to play, my father would send someone to pick them up every time. When my eldest brother and his family became adults, they came by themselves. There has never been a woman in the house, and my father rarely mentioned them, as if he had no connection with them at all, as if he had already cut off all ties with them."
"A biased father, a mother who was neglected and abandoned by his father, and a younger brother who was the only one doted on, but still unconsciously wanted to gain care from them... No wonder my eldest brothers disliked me and even hated me before. If it were me, I would probably want to beat my irresponsible father to death and then crush my ignorant brother to death."
Lian Jun finally raised his head from the documents and said, "You won't."
"What?" Shi Jin didn't hear clearly and looked up at him.
"With your personality, even if you were in Shi Wei Chong's shoes, you would just stay away from that pile of rotten stalls instead of going over to cooperate with the acting." Lian Jun closed the file, picked up a pen and poked Shi Jin's forehead, then said in a wheelchair, "It's time to eat, let's go to the restaurant." Shi Jin touched
his poked forehead, his eyes lit up, and he went over to hold Lian Jun's wheelchair, and asked happily: "Young Master Jun, are you not angry with me anymore?"
Lian Jun did not reject his kindness, and folded his hands on his abdomen, his expression unchanged: "I'm not angry."
"You are obviously angry." Shi Jin pushed him forward happily, and said to himself, "Now that you are not angry anymore, can you eat more? You obviously want to eat, right? Why do you hold back?"
Lian Jun frowned and said coldly, "I didn't hold back. You eat too stupidly and it affects your appetite."
"..." Shi Jin
gritted his teeth and accepted the evaluation of eating too stupidly, and said in a compromise, "Okay, I will try to eat more politely in the future."
Lian Jun tilted his head slightly and ignored him, but he ate half a bowl of rice and drank a few more sips of soup that day. Shi Jin
became happy again, looking at Lian Jun with the look in his eyes like a relieved old father looking at his child who finally obeyed.
...
A few days later, the former vice president of Ruixing, Xu Tianhua, was tricked back to China by the police, secretly arrested at the airport, and imprisoned next to Xu Chuan.
Facing Xu Chuan's accusation of buying a killer and kidnapping, Xu Tianhua refused to admit it, but Xu Chuan was like a broken jar. Contrary to his previous silent attitude, he did not hesitate to expose Xu Tianhua's dirty tricks. He revealed all of Xu Tianhua's past, from the small tricks he did in Ruixing to the evil things he did outside. He also revealed the account that Xu Tianhua used to pay the deposit for the kidnapping case.
Xu Tianhua was so angry that he went crazy after being bitten. He simply tore Xu Chuan off the scene and revealed the fact that he sold secrets to him behind the back of Shixing Rui.
The two were at loggerheads, both were convicted, and were given a pair of "silver bracelets". They will face a lot of charges in the future, and will probably spend the rest of their lives in jail.
Shi Jin felt very complicated when he got the confessions of Xu Tianhua and Xu Chuan. He thought Xu Chuan was lying and guessed that the person standing behind him should not be Xu Tianhua. Unexpectedly, the two were actually in cahoots with each other and had colluded with each other hundreds of years ago.
He looked at his progress bar, which dropped to 600 after Xu Tianhua was arrested, and he didn't know what to say.
Judging from the two waves of decline in the progress bar, Xu Chuan and Xu Tianhua definitely had murderous intentions towards the original owner, and they did want to attack the original owner, but they did not seem to be the most fatal cause of the original owner's death, because although the progress bar dropped to the safety line, there was still a large part of it that did not move at all.
"Could it be that the kidnapping and the car accident were not done by the same killer?" Shi Jin collapsed on the sofa, went over the rise and fall of his progress bar in his mind, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "It seems that it makes sense to attribute most of the rise and fall of the progress bar to Xu Chuan and Xu Tianhua. For example, when we first arrived in City B, the progress bar rose wildly and encountered Seeing the crazy surge in the prices of Shi Weichong and the other two, Xu Chuan confessed in his confession that Xu Tianhua had sent people to monitor the movements of Shi Weichong and the others. Xu Tianhua was very unwilling to be squeezed out of Ruixing by Shi Weichong, and tried to find my whereabouts and use me to compete with Shi Weichong. I got close to Shi Weichong, which also entered Xu Tianhua's field of vision, and Xu Tianhua also has influence in City B..."
Xiaosi also tried his best to analyze and said, "In the plot, the car accident happened after you contacted Shi Xingrui's old subordinates and wanted to do something bad to Shi Weichong. Xu Tianhua was eager for you to go against Shi Weichong, so the car accident should not have been caused by him."
"So it's basically certain that the car accident was not caused by Xu Tianhua. He had no motive." Shi Jin agreed with Xiao Si's speculation, and flipped through the confessions of Xu Tianhua and Xu Chuan. The more he flipped through, the more headache he had. He felt that he had no clue. "It's not Shi Weichong, nor Xu Tianhua. Who did the car accident? Who is taking the opportunity to stir up trouble?"
Xiao Si struggled to think, and then the phone froze. Shi
Jin took a long breath and emptied his mind. His thoughts drifted aimlessly for a while, and finally he decisively chose to give up. He stood up, collected the confessions, got up and left the room, and decided to go to dinner with Lian Jun first.
As the New Year was drawing near, the club finally had a festive atmosphere. Various New Year goods were being prepared, and some blessing characters were hung. Dumplings began to appear frequently on the table, fried, steamed, and soup dumplings. He was very satisfied eating dumplings of various flavors.
He used a serving chopstick to pick up the last three-fresh dumpling of the day and put it on Lian Jun's plate, and took the initiative to talk about it: "How is Chen Qing? Is there any movement?"
After deciding to take a conservative approach to save people, Lian Jun remained silent, betting that the leader of the Black Rose would definitely come back for a second time after failing to set a trap to harm people.
Now, more than half a month has passed unknowingly, and there has been no further news from Chen Qing. Fortunately, Chen Qing's two children are still being kept well, letting them know that Chen Qing should not have been treated as a useless chess piece by Black Rose.
Lian Jun took a look at the plump white dumpling on the plate, and finally picked up the chopsticks again and ate the three-fresh dumpling. Then he wiped his mouth again and replied: "The leader of the Black Rose is not a reckless person. He will definitely plan the next action after he is completely sure that the failed attack last time did not arouse my suspicion. So wait, he will act sooner or later." Shi
Jin nodded to show that he understood, and then carefully suggested "Then if Chen Qing asks you out again, can you take me with you?"
Lian Jun looked at him sideways and shook his head without hesitation: "No, the next meeting with Chen Qing is not just a simple meal, but also involves rescuing Chen Qing, which may cause a conflict with Black Rose. You lack practical experience, so I can't take you with you." Shi Jin
was unwilling to give up: "I can hide outside and not interfere with your actions."
"Then there is no need to take you with you, you stay in the club." Lian Jun's tone was irresistible. Shi Jin
wanted to talk a few more words, but Lian Jun directly reached out and took a piece of honeydew melon from the fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth, then slid the wheelchair and walked away without looking back.
Click, click.
Shi Jin closed his mouth and ate the melon, frowning. He raised his hand to take the remaining melon off and said vaguely: "Well, this melon is quite sweet..."
Xiao Si: "..."
Two days later, Shi Weichong started to call Shi Jin every day to ask about his plans for the New Year. After careful consideration, Shi Jin declined Shi Weichong's invitation to take him home for the New Year, saying that he wanted to stay in the club with Lian Jun.
Shi Weichong was so angry that he killed him directly.
Facing Shi Weichong's face-to-face questioning, Shi Jin remained unmoved and refused with reasons and evidence: "With my status, how can I go to your house to celebrate the New Year? In the past few years, you were forced by your father to go abroad to celebrate the New Year with us every year. You have never been with your mother and your mother's family. This year you can finally accompany your mother . What do you think your mother will think if I go again? Anyway, I won't go, unless you break my legs and drag me over."
Shi Weichong was speechless. He really wanted to accompany his mother this year, but he couldn't let go of Shi Jin. In this world, he still had his mother's relatives to accompany him, but Shi Jin's parents were both dead, leaving him alone.
Seeing that he still didn't give in, Shi Jin softened his tone and said earnestly: "Brother, I know you are worried about me, but it's okay. I have a lot of people here with me, not alone. You should spend time with your family. I will send you a blessing text message. Remember to return the red envelope to me." After that, he smiled at him and pretended to be relaxed.
The more he smiled, the tighter Shi Weichong's brows wrinkled. Finally, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch his face and pulled it, saying: "Don't laugh... You will definitely get a red envelope. So you take care of yourself, I will come to see you." "
I will definitely be fine. It's not the New Year if you don't gain a few pounds during the New Year." Shi Jin said vaguely, pulled his hand down, went forward to hug him, and said, "Brother, Happy New Year, and peace every year."
Shi Weichong patted his back and sighed in his heart.
In the next few days, Shi Jin received phone calls and text messages from Xiang Aoting and Rong Zhouzhong. Xiang Aoting, like Shi Weichong, wanted to invite Shi Jin to celebrate the New Year together, but Shi Jin refused. Rong Zhouzhong only sent a text message with the name and time of a TV station, indicating that he would be on the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala on this station that night, and Shi Jin could wait in front of the TV to watch. Shi Jin
replied happily: I will lock the channel on time to watch the monkey.
Rong Zhouzhong's reply was still brief: Get lost. Shi
Jin fell on the sofa holding his mobile phone, and was so happy that he took out the phone numbers of the other two brothers he had not met yet. After thinking about it, he sent a New Year text message to each of them.
In the original plot, the second brother Fei Yujing and the fifth brother Li Jiuzheng have always been confused about the attitude of the original owner.
The second brother Fei Yujing is a very busy man. Before Shi Xingrui died, although he also flew around the world, he would try his best to find time to see the original owner. He would also take some interesting pictures of various parts of the world for the original owner to see, and from time to time he would send some local specialties to the original owner, which greatly satisfied the original owner's desire to travel around the world for adventure. He is a good brother who "is busy but still cares about his younger brother."
After Shi Xingrui died, Fei Yujing quickly disappeared from the original owner's life. He didn't answer the original owner's phone calls, didn't reply to the original owner's text messages, and didn't see the original owner. Even though he came back a few times because of the original owner's accident, he always stayed away from the original owner. Even if the original owner took the initiative to talk to him, he was always cold and looked at the original owner as if he was looking at a stranger, or a stranger he didn't like.
He never showed a strong love or hate for the original owner. When he cared about her, he was very reserved, and when he was far away, he withdrew quickly. He seemed not to care about the original owner, but occasionally showed an attitude of "it would be great if this person didn't appear in this world."
In his eyes, the original owner was probably like an erroneous ink spot on a document. He didn't hate it, but he wanted to erase it. Unfortunately, this ink spot couldn't be erased, so he tried to ignore it.
