Chapter 238: Accident or Murder
Ye Bai told Yan Yi everything he knew.
Yan Yi said: "If you say so, it is indeed necessary to go to Lin Xiang's hometown."
Then he patted his shoulder and said, "You have been in Zhunan City for almost a year, and you know the people over there. You should go alone this time. I will inform Captain Han and come back when I am done."
Ye Bai's eyes instantly brightened, "I understand, Captain Yan."
Yan Yi patted his shoulder and said, "At first I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the situation there because of your quiet personality, but when I heard from Captain Han that you get along well with your colleagues, I felt relieved."
"Don't worry, Captain Yan, they are all easy to get along with. Everyone is doing their job well. They are all a group of lovely colleagues."
Yan Yi looked at his watch and said, "Don't wait until tomorrow, leave now."
"receive."
Ye Bai left the office and immediately sent a message to Han Jianye.
Han Jianye happened to have just come out of a meeting at this moment. When he heard the news that Ye Bai was coming on a business trip, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
The happiest person is Qi Xiaolei.
(*^▽^*)Hahahaha...
My 'Korean style leaf shadow' CP can be reunited again.
It was already afternoon when Ye Bai arrived at Zhunan Branch. There was no time to rest as they had to go to Lin Xiang's home in Linjia Village.
Han Jianye did not go with him this time. He arranged for Su Wan and Liao Wei to accompany Ye Bai.
Liao Wei drove: "Linjia Village is in Huainan Town. It only takes 20 minutes to get there by taking the national highway."
Su Wan frowned and put forward his own thoughts: "Ye Bai, if Xiao Ge is not the mastermind, but is working for someone else, I always feel that something is wrong when he suddenly returns to his hometown."
Ye Bai asked back: "What do you mean?"
Su Wan made a gesture of wiping his neck and lowered his voice a bit: "I don't know if I'm too sensitive. He failed to do something for someone else. How could a real boss leave such a big handle for himself? He would probably be killed to silence him. To be able to afford 5 million to hire someone to kidnap your brother, this person must have a lot of wealth. In fact, it's not impossible for you to guess that the person behind the scenes is a relative of your family."
Ye Bai was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's true. If I were the mastermind, how could I let someone who could threaten me at any time be allowed outside? Of course I would try every means to get rid of him."
“You guys…(′ω｀)!?”
Liao Wei couldn't help but interrupt, his tone somewhat helpless, "Isn't it too early to say something like this now? It's also possible that Lin Xiang is just watching TV at home?"
Su Wan suddenly laughed out loud and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm just talking casually. If you have any ideas, you can also bring them up for reference."
Liao Wei thought for a moment and said seriously, "I just feel that this is just like what is shown in a TV series. The old tycoon gave his assets to the heir, and then the heir became the target of public criticism. Then someone tried to murder the heir, and Ye Bai became the scapegoat of the heir's brother. So the question is, the heir is dead, who is the beneficiary? Who is the murderer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Bai's face suddenly became serious, and he responded earnestly: "Who are the beneficiaries? There are many."
Su Wan shrugged, "So, a family with many children needs to treat them equally. Although I don't know what your grandfather thinks, this approach will harm your brother instead."
Ye Bai shook his head and said firmly, "My grandfather knows his children best. They look harmonious on the outside, but they are actually not united on the inside. Rather than splitting the shares and giving them to them, who might sell them to outsiders for their own selfish interests in the future, it is better to let one person inherit, and my brother is the most suitable person. Now my brother is the largest shareholder of the company, and the company is still named Ye. If all the shares are divided, it is hard to say whether the company will be named Ye in the future. I believe that Grandpa must have thought it through carefully."
Su Wan curled his lips and sighed: "It sounds reasonable, but it will also make you two brothers suffer."
After this analysis, Ye Bai suddenly thought of a terrible question: Could there be multiple people behind the kidnapping?
So he immediately sent a message to Ye Che to tell him this idea and remind him to be more careful.
The three of them came to Linjia Village according to Lin Xiang's registered address, and after asking around, they learned a shocking news.
Lin Xiang was hit and killed by a drunk driver at an intersection three years ago.
Ye Bai frowned, "Lin Xiang is really dead."
Su Wan sighed: "No way, I guessed it right."
Liao Wei gave Su Wan a thumbs up and said, "It's a pity that you don't become an editor."
( ￣) Hehe...
Su Wan asked: "So, did Lin Xiang die in an accident or was he murdered?"
In order to understand the specific situation, they found Lin Xiang's parents to find out.
Lin's mother said: "My son is so pitiful. Three years ago, he went out to buy midnight snacks and was hit and killed on the spot by a drunk driver."
Su Wan asked her: "So how was this matter finally handled?"
"We don't want compensation or forgiveness. We want his life for his life." Lin's father said this in anger. "That bastard is still in jail. He didn't flee the scene, which constitutes a crime of causing an accident. He is willing to pay compensation and apologize to us, but we won't forgive him. We want him dead."
After saying this, Father Lin sighed heavily.
Ye Bai asked them: "Do you remember the name of the perpetrator?"
"I remember, I will remember it for the rest of my life. His name is Liu Mianzhou, he is 53 years old this year. He said that he was drinking with a client that night and thought it was close to home so he didn't call a designated driver, so he accidentally hit and killed my son."
Ye Bai suddenly thought of a question: "Excuse me, is your son's room still there?"
Mother Lin wiped her tears and said, "Yes, yes."
"Can we go check it out then?"
"OK."
Liao Wei asked them: "Excuse me, what illness did your son have that brought him back home?"
"Kidney stones. Anyway, the pain was so severe that I couldn't even go to work. I quit my job five years ago and went home to treat the disease. After that, I stayed in my hometown to work. After the accident, his wife took the children back to her parents' home and would come back to see us occasionally."
Ye Bai looked around Lin Xiang's room. The room should have been tidied up and there was nothing valuable to find.
On the way back, Ye Bai told Yan Yi everything about the situation.
Even Yan Yi felt that this was too much of a coincidence and it was hard not to be suspicious.
Ye Bai looked at the scenery outside the car window in silence.
He felt that the more he investigated the matter, the more confusing it became. He felt that the water was too deep and there were too many people involved. He could only sigh helplessly.
