The snow fell heavier and heavier, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground and tree branches.
Huo Qizhen stood in the cold wind, staring intently at the light below the slope; every second seemed incredibly slow to him.
It was so slow that he could see the shapes of individual snowflakes.
Uncle Li shivered; it was cold.
Uncle Li noticed that there was also a layer of snow on Huo Qizhen's shoulders and hair, and he didn't even dare to go up and help him hold an umbrella.
If you keep getting soaked like this, you'll definitely get sick.
After considering it for a while, Uncle Li still took the umbrella and stepped forward.
Open the umbrella and gently hold it over Huo Qizhen's head.
Uncle Li quietly observed Huo Qizhen's expression and noticed that there was a layer of white on his eyelashes, and his attention was all on the slope below.
His lips were tightly pursed, and if you looked closely, you could see the taut muscle lines.
What should I do?
Do I have to stand all night?
Uncle Li is now desperately hoping that something can distract Huo Qizhen so that he can go back to the car and warm up.
The phone vibrated.
It was George on the phone.
"No incriminating clues were found in Jian Yu's surveillance footage. However, there was a secret about the Shen family conglomerate on Jian Yu's tablet. Shen Qianyuan had a younger brother, a year younger than him, who was murdered by his father Shen Ding's mistress when he was four years old. At the time, the mistress wanted to take over and intended to kill all of Shen Qianyuan's brothers. Due to a mistake, Shen Qianyuan escaped, but his brother drowned, and the mistress's son also died in the accident. Shen Qianyuan's mother used this incident to pressure Shen Ding with her own family and the elders of the Shen family, forcing him to undergo sterilization and confirming Shen Qianyuan's status as the heir. As a result, the mistress was abandoned by Shen Ding and later went insane, was sent to a mental hospital, and died two years later."
Huo Qizhen listened quietly.
If it weren't for the change in the light in his eyes, Uncle Li would have thought he was lost in thought.
“There are many medical records of Shen Ding’s mistress. When she was first admitted to the hospital, she shouted once that her son did not die in an accident, but was the work of Mrs. Shen.”
Hearing this, Huo Qizhen finally spoke up, "Send me the medical records."
Uncle Li spoke up at the right moment, "Young Master, why don't you go to the car to take a look? There's mobile signal in the car, so you can receive the data faster."
Huo Qizhen ignored him, his eyes glued to his phone screen.
Uncle Li said, "The information that Jian Yu spent several days finding must be very useful. Go to the car and take a good look at it. There might be other clues that George overlooked. These clues are all related to Jian Yu, so you can't be careless."
Huo Qizhen then turned around and got into the car.
Uncle Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jianyu found so much material, more than 400 GB in total. Even if I sent it directly, it would take several hours to finish.
George took the tablet and went straight back to the scene.
He handed the tablet to Huo Qizhen.
Huo Qizhen entered the unlock password, and the screensaver that appeared was a photo of Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen.
This photo was taken by Huo Tingzhen while holding Jian Yu's hand.
Huo Qizhen remembers it very clearly because Jian Yu's dress had an open back.
The information Jian Yu found about the Shen family covered various aspects, including both company and private information.
They didn't even spare entertainment gossip.
Even the Yu family back then couldn't make Jian Yu feel so threatened.
Uncle Li said, "Young Master, don't be angry. What if the person behind Jian Yu's accident isn't Shen Qianyuan? Wouldn't all your efforts have been in vain?"
Kenneth Fok said, "It won't be a waste of effort."
Regardless of whether Shen Qianyuan was behind Jian Yu's accident, Huo Qizhen would not let him off easily just because he wanted to poach Huo's high-quality clients.
Moreover, Huo Qizhen felt that Jian Yu's ability to devote so much energy to collecting information on Shen Qianyuan indicated that Shen Qianyuan was far more dangerous and difficult to deal with than imagined.
Huo Qizhen read it quickly and attentively, and by the time he finished reading it all, it was already past 3 a.m.
There was no further news from the rescue team.
The truck driver, however, was brought ashore by the underwater rescue team.
The person had stopped breathing.
He had no identification on him, and there was nothing of value in the car.
"Empty car?"
The underwater rescue team leader nodded.
Huo Qizhen personally made a phone call to inquire about the situation of his subordinate's driver's family.
“His two daughters are probably unaware of the situation, and his mother denies it. We tracked his movements over the past week using the driver's phone location data and discovered that he had returned to his hometown. Some of our staff have already gone there and just called back to say that there was nothing unusual and they didn't find the money hidden.”
"Where is his wife?"
"His wife said she wasn't feeling well and went back to her room to rest early. She didn't leave the room all night, so she didn't know that we had already contacted her mother-in-law."
Huo Qizhen was clearly dissatisfied with the result. "Is this all you're capable of?"
Knowing Huo Qizhen was dissatisfied, the other party assured him, "We guarantee the mission will be completed before dawn."
"The police have notified the driver's family to come and identify the body. How long do you think you can keep this a secret?"
The other party immediately assured them, "I guarantee I'll find it within an hour."
The other party hung up the phone, pulled out a knife, and pointed it at the driver's mother. "Your son can devise such a perfect murder plan, do you think we can pull it off?"
The driver's mother remained silent.
The other person simply slid the blade lightly with their fingertips, without urging her.
Until the sound of a video call came on the phone.
The other person stuck out their tongue and licked their lips. "Something good has come. Let me show you."
The driver's mother didn't know what he was going to do, but she still looked up at him.
That one glance terrified her.
"This...this..."
"Does this look familiar? It's the secondhand car your son just bought for your daughter-in-law yesterday. Hopefully, your life will be more convenient after he leaves."
The driver's mother felt dizzy.
The used car in the video is upside down, surrounded by broken glass, and a small truck is parked next to it.
It was clearly overturned by a small truck.
Off-screen, you can hear the truck driver's alarm: "I was driving normally when she ran a red light and came over. I didn't have time to brake, and the two vehicles collided."
The driver's mother, "..."
The phone screen was deliberately held close to her face so she could see the people in the car clearly.
Blood was streaming down his face.
Eyes closed tightly.
The chest wasn't visible on the screen, so it's unclear whether the person was still breathing.
"Tsk... What do we do? It seems she's not breathing."
The driver's mother rolled her eyes and fainted.
Unfortunately, he was woken up by someone pinching his philtrum.
"I heard you have two granddaughters? Do you think they might encounter any accidents on their way to school tomorrow?"
The driver's mother immediately burst into tears, crying, "I really didn't know!"
"Really? There's a river ahead. Throw the person in."
Upon hearing this, the driver's mother paused in her sobbing. "I really didn't know. My son told me yesterday that he left some money for the family and told us to wait until he was gone for a while before we started spending it."
Where is the money?
“Our family’s ancestral graves are in the woods about 100 meters behind our old home.”
Ten minutes later, the driver received a call from his hometown: "Found it, only 300,000."
The driver's truck is still relatively new; it could be sold for 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.
Losing 100,000 to 200,000 for 300,000 seems like a bad deal.
