"Yes, he's hiding something. Chen Qingshan must have left something behind before he died, but he deliberately told her not to hand it over easily."
"Because these things can save lives at critical moments?" Tao Meng reacted quickly.
"That's right. This thing can save your life at a critical moment." Xiao Chen nodded gently. "The reason why Li Juan didn't say it is because she and her son were not threatened. It wasn't a life-or-death situation."
"Then we can't force them to hand over the things." Tao Meng was a little worried.
"You, your thinking is still stuck in the state of following the rules." Xiao Chen said with a smile: "When necessary, you can use some tricks."
"You can't do that. This orphan and his widowed mother are really pitiful." Tao Meng said.
"Let's not do anything rash. Send them to Jiangcheng and we'll just follow them along the way." Xiao Chen said, "I believe Xiao Wanli already knows that we've noticed this mother and son."
"And do you really believe that he will be relieved if Chen Qingshan dies?"
"He's a very suspicious person. Chen Qingshan knows so many of his secrets, so he must be worried."
Tao Meng pondered and said, "Plus, we have noticed this mother and son, so he will definitely find a way to get rid of them."
"That's right, let's spread the news. Maybe we can solve this matter without leaving Yanjing." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
In a villa nestled among mountains and beside water, Xiao Wanli was holding a brush and the table was covered with fine rice paper.
He stood in front of the table, writing with his brush and ink. In less than a moment, a piece of calligraphy was completed.
The four big characters "Pointing to the Mountains and Rivers" appear on the paper.
A man in his thirties next to him gently fanned the ink that had not yet dried up with his hand, then took the calligraphy in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Excellent calligraphy! This calligraphy is full of vigor and power, and it truly exudes the aura of someone who can command the world."
"Haha, I haven't written for a long time, and I always feel a little rusty." Xiao Wanli was in a good mood. He put down his pen and asked: "How is the progress with Xiao Ting?"
"Godfather, Xiao Ting contacted me just now and said that she has already planted someone. After a while, she will suddenly launch an attack and force Xiao Chen." The man said respectfully.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, do you know why I have to interfere in Xiao Chen's company?" Xiao Wanli said.
"Godfather naturally values the development potential of Xiao Chen's company." Xiao Qi said without hesitation.
"This is just one point. More importantly, Xiao Chen is my grandson. He is the bloodline of the Xiao family." Xiao Wanli clenched his fists: "So he must obey the Xiao family."
"That's right, foster father." Xiao Qi was very respectful to his foster father, Xiao Wanli. "If Xiao Chen doesn't follow your instructions, he will be courting his own destruction."
"Humph, he'll regret it sooner or later." Xiao Wanli washed his hands: "Nothing happened recently, right?"
"There is something, and I was just looking for an opportunity to tell my father." Xiao Qi hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Wanli asked.
"After Chen Qingshan died, his family saw that he had not returned for a long time, so they called the police." Xiao Qi said.
"Just find a reason to settle the mother and son down." Xiao Wanli said.
"I'm afraid things are not that easy, because Chen Qingshan's wife had a very good relationship with Chen Qingshan. Now that she knows her husband is dead, she has been asking the police to give an explanation." Xiao Qi said.
"Then let's do something. Just give us a reason. These little things shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Xiao Wanli was a little unhappy. "Qi'er, although you are not my biological son."
"But I have high expectations of you, and you've always been very capable. What happened this time?"
"Yes, I disappointed my father." Xiao Qi bowed slightly, looking very ashamed.
Xiao Wanli nodded with satisfaction. His adopted son was the most respectful to him.
Compared to his two biological sons, he is much easier to control.
Unfortunately, this is not his biological son, otherwise he would have used Xiao Qi even if he was not born to the first wife.
"I guess there must be a reason for this, right? Can you tell me what it is?" After putting on a good show, Xiao Wanli sat down and drank a sip of tea.
"The reason is that Xiao Chen and Tao Meng have already found Li Juan." Xiao Qi said.
"They found Li Juan?" Xiao Wanli suddenly became restless.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth.
"Yes, father. Although Chen Qingshan is obedient, no one knows if he has any backup plans. So Li Juan and her son are like a bomb that can explode at any time."
Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Wanli's face and said, "After all, he knows too many of his father's secrets."
"Chen Qingshan found it really easy to use. I was a little impatient this time." Xiao Wanli sighed and sat down again. His expression was uncertain, as if he was weighing something.
Xiao Qi was not in a hurry either. He kept his body slightly bent and his expression was humble.
This is why Xiao Wanli likes him, he is respectful and extremely obedient.
More importantly, never make decisions for others.
"Is there something in her hand?" After a long time, Xiao Wanli looked up and asked.
"I'm not sure, but judging from her reaction, Chen Qingshan must have given her something before he died." Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Wanli slammed the table and said angrily: "Chen Qingshan, I saved him when he was desperate."
"I gave him a new identity and kept him alive, and yet he's still wary of me? How ungrateful!"
Standing up again, Xiao Wanli said coldly: "Since he has a backup plan, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Xiao Qi, find a way to do this more cleanly."
"I understand." Xiao Qi nodded slightly, then bowed and walked out.
After leaving the door, Xiao Qi's humble look disappeared without a trace.
He straightened his body, twisted his stiff neck, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message. After receiving the other party's reply, he quickly got up and left.
Xiao Chen brought Li Juan and her son back to Yanjing and promised them that he would rush to Jiangcheng the next day.
The mother and son were settled in a five-star hotel, and Xiao Chen also booked a room here.
Tao Meng lived next door to him. After dinner, when he was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.
He originally thought that Tao Meng wanted to discuss something with him, but after opening the door, he unexpectedly saw Li Mengmeng standing at the door.
"Xiao Chen, is it really you?" Li Mengmeng seemed very happy when she saw Xiao Chen.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
"This hotel is a cooperative hotel with Nuanguang. I just came here to film a movie and just saw you checked in." Li Mengmeng said excitedly.
"I only saw your profile, so I wasn't sure. Later, I looked up your name under the company's name, so I came here."
"Is there something?" Xiao Chen's attitude was a little indifferent.
