Is he the murderer?
I don’t know what Xu Zaitan remembered, but the next day he bought a plane ticket and flew abroad, telling others that he was going abroad to discuss business.
Cui Ze was about to go to Yutai again. The two of them had some fun and received a call from Hong Jae-heon during the break.
If the people who attacked the villa at night were really in cahoots with Hong Jae-heon, they would naturally be anxious if they didn't find anything. Yu Li let her phone ring and picked it up before Hong Jae-heon ran out of patience.
"Kwon Wook-ri," Hong Jae-heon's tone sounded relatively calm. He held the initiative, so there was no reason for him to be more panicked than Kwon Wook-ri. "Still no results with Seo Jae-dam?"
Lying on Cui Ze's chest, Yu Li propped up her head and said nonchalantly: "No."
Hong Zaixian paused and chuckled, "Didn't find it or didn't find it? Are you really not afraid?"
"What am I afraid of?" He could threaten her with his power? Yu Li scoffed. "Like you said, when the father gets into trouble, the child takes over. If my father really steps down, wouldn't that be my chance?"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Hong Jae-heon was obviously choked. He had originally hoped that Kwon Woo-ri could get Kwon Woo-ri to move, but she didn't care at all.
After a while, he could only say, "It seems you are not willing to cooperate."
"What are you saying?" A hand slid across her back, and Yu Li pointed her index finger at Choi Taek. If she made any noise and Hong Jae Heon heard it, it would be Choi Taek who would break down. "You said there were no more leads, and then a few days later you're threatening me with your family. Hong Jae Heon, between the two of us, you're the one who's breaking the rules, aren't you?"
Bang, the sound of hitting the table: "Okay, okay."
After saying "good" twice, Hong Jae-heon suppressed his anger and apologized to Yu Li: "It's my problem, I'm wrong."
"Since you are also interested in your father's position, we have the same goal. Please pay more attention to it."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Li threw it aside. There would be a banquet tomorrow and the dress studio would prepare it.
"Are you going with Mom?"
"Yeah." Yu Li nodded casually, then suddenly realized something was wrong and tapped the muscles under her body. "Mr. Cui, calling me mom is quite smooth."
Does Li Xianzhu know about this?
Cui Ze laughed secretly. He had gone crazy since he found out that Yu Li’s 20th birthday party was also her engagement party.
He is very excited every day.
The driver had already arrived downstairs. Yu Li patted Cui Ze and asked him to get up. Cui Ze went to Yutai and she went to the company. The next time they met would be the day after tomorrow.
She wasn't the main character at tomorrow's party; it was just a casual social event. She just needed to be wary of Hong Jae-heon's backstabbing. She sent a message to Seo Jae-dam, and after learning that everything was going well, she got back to work.
Xu Zaitan put on a full show and really found a business to discuss. Like Cui Ze, he would be back the day after tomorrow.
There were classes during the day, and Yu Li had a sour face when she saw Pei Haocheng. Speaking of being cool, Pei Haocheng was even better at pretending than Cui Ze.
"Mo ya, you look like that, did you quarrel with your dad again?"
Seeing Yu Li, Pei Haocheng's expression softened a bit, but when he thought of the little things that happened at home, his face became irritated. "I went home."
Gao Zhuyan was also unhappy: "Why do you always have to go home when it's your turn to cook?"
Pei Haocheng used his phone to transfer some money to Gao Zhuyan: "I hope this money can shut you up."
Gao Zhuyan shut up after looking at the amount. He had a team to support and couldn't let Gao Rixi know, so he was a little short of money.
Yu Li curled up the corners of her mouth and wanted to join in the joke, but she swallowed her words back when she remembered what happened with Yu Tai.
According to Cui Ze, some developers from the capital want to build a hospital.
"No matter what, be prepared," she said finally. "The shareholders' meeting, your father, and you—you're at the bottom."
"If something happens, don't be sent abroad for no apparent reason."
This is how the circle works. If there is anything that cannot be solved, it will be sent abroad, and after a few years when things have calmed down, it can be brought back.
However, for Pei Haocheng, going abroad means missing out on power, and he is so unwilling to accept this that he would struggle to crawl out of his coffin even if he were lying there.
Pei Haocheng was stunned for a moment and nodded. He thought Yu Li meant that if Pei Yanbin couldn't win the competition, the shareholders would jointly send him abroad. He thought it was time to make preparations in advance.
Pei Yanbin's love for him is not fake. He is willing to be a filial son. He gives Pei Yanbin whatever he wants, except the right of inheritance.
In the afternoon, she took a car to meet Lee Hyun-joo, who was getting a skincare treatment at Bae-do's beauty salon. Upon arrival, she discovered there wasn't just Lee Hyun-joo herself, but also another wealthy woman. Yu-ri wasn't surprised. Since Ms. Lee always talked about work during her beauty treatments, she figured the wealthy woman must be her future partner.
Li Xianzhu beckoned Yu Li to join her. Yu Li was about to accept the offer, but then she thought of the marks all over her body and pretended to be reluctant to refuse: "We just did it yesterday. Mom, I'll wait for you outside."
Li Xianzhu didn't care about it, but the lady didn't.
In the final analysis, Axi blames Cui Ze. Who is the dog between Cui Ze and Gao Zhuyan?
In the end, the mark was discovered by Lee Hyun-joo. After the beauty treatment, the two went to try on dresses together. When Yu Ri came out wearing a tube top dress, Lee Hyun-joo turned her around.
Li Xianzhu lightly touched her butterfly bone with her fingertips and chuckled: "Did Cui Ze go to Yutai yesterday?"
Yu Li already understood what was happening and nodded obediently.
"Young man." Li Xianzhu sighed and said nothing more, asking Yu Li to change into a new set of clothes.
Yu Li felt a little embarrassed, luckily Li Xianzhu was looking at the back instead of the chest, otherwise she would have found more in the front.
The top was still swollen when Cui Ze left.
As the No. 1 in the media industry, Hong Xian's party was never short of people. Yu Li and Li Xianzhu arrived relatively late and were pulled aside by Hong Wuxu's mother to talk intimately.
"Why hasn't Yu Li come to play with Wu Xu recently? Did that kid Wu Xu make you angry?"
They were more than just angry; they were completely upset. Mingyu Sheng's group came over to try to reconcile the two, but Yu Li went to give him face, while Hong Wuxu didn't go.
Later he explained that he received a call on the way here saying that Jiang Hengzhu was sick, so he went to take care of Jiang Hengzhu and was unable to get away.
Yu Li spread her hands at that time, and Ming Yusheng's face was so dark that it was unbearable to look at. After that, he never mentioned Hong Wuxu to Yu Li again.
Yu Li didn't reply to the apology message that Hong Wuxu sent awkwardly.
"School has started recently, and I have work to do. I have been traveling all over the country and abroad and have no time to play." It was not convenient to tell Hong's mother about these things, so Yu Li just gave her face and evaded the question.
"Oh my god, Yu Li is just too capable." Hong's mother looked at Yu Li with some pity. She had originally wanted to marry into the Quan family, but Hong Wuxu was not up to the mark, so they chose Cui Ze instead.
Li Xianzhu smiled and took over the topic. Hong's mother pointed to the third floor of the villa and said, "Yusheng and the others are in Wuxu's room. Let's go play."
Yu Li nodded politely and left. She didn't go to look for Hong Wuxu. She strolled in the garden alone.
Just now she remembered something. In recent years, it seemed that Lee Hyun-joo was the only one who came to every Hong family banquet, and there were not many opportunities for Kwon Won-hyuk and Hong Seon to appear in the same frame.
Even though we've known each other for years, I feel like I'm avoiding each other.
Soon the Cheng family arrived. The marriage partner chosen by Hong's mother for Hong Wuxu was Cheng Xiyin, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. She also had a younger brother who was in the first grade of junior high school. Cheng Xiyin was smart and capable, and her younger brother was obedient to her. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to act according to her wishes when he grew up.
Thinking that this person was almost invited by Lee Hyun-joo to go on a blind date with Kwon Jae-kyung, Yu Li took a few more glances at him. Cheng Xiyin was not very good-looking, but her temperament was similar to Lee Hyun-joo. She was the type that would make beautiful women feel ashamed standing next to her.
Accidentally meeting Yu Li's eyes, Cheng Xiyin smiled reservedly.
Yu Li roughly understood what kind of person this person was. Could such a person accept a marriage with Hong Wuxu? Being a year or two older than Hong Wuxu, would he look upon Hong Wuxu like a younger brother?
She was right, Cheng Xiyin did think so.
After Cheng Xiyin arrived, Hong's mother called Hong Wuxu out and asked him to entertain her well. The other guests knew that the two families were thinking of a marriage, so they considerately didn't come to disturb them. The two began to chat awkwardly. Halfway through the conversation, Hong Wuxu couldn't continue. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I don't know how we were paired together. I don't understand what you are interested in, and you haven't heard of what I am interested in. How are we going to get married in the future?"
Cheng Xiyin was immediately shocked. That was what he said, but the marriage hadn't been finalized yet. Aren't you afraid that she would have some ideas?
Or did he say that on purpose because he didn't want to marry her?
Childish, she thought, just like her younger brother who was in the first grade of junior high school.
Yu Li was watching from a distance and she caught the change in Cheng Xiyin's expression. It was not difficult to imagine that Hong Wuxu had said something inappropriate.
Ming Yusheng handed him a glass of wine from behind and thought Hong Wuxu was doomed: "He will definitely be dealt with by his mother."
Jiang Hengzhu was warned not to have any contact with Hong Wuxu. Before the marriage was successful, Hong's mother specially hired someone to watch Hong Wuxu, so that this pair of "star-crossed mandarin ducks" could not see each other.
Yu Li shrugged to show that she didn't care, and told Hong Wuxu to do whatever he wanted. When she turned around, she found Hong Jae-heon coming out and raising his glass to toast her from afar.
If there was anyone unhappy at tonight's banquet, it would be Hong Wuxu and Hong Jae-heon.
Yu Li took a sip of wine.
Halfway through the party, Yuli and Mingyusheng dragged the others through a few rounds of games, but Hong Wuxu was nowhere to be seen. Ko Soo-yeon's original anonymous message game had been a huge hit, so he refined it and shared it with everyone. It's now a huge hit among students.
It was Yu Li's turn to be punished. A group of people scratched their heads. They had finally got this opportunity, but they were reluctant to make things difficult for Yu Li. After thinking for a long time, they decided to make things difficult for Cui Ze.
"Tell him you have a new love."
Um……
"I can say that." Yu Li's expression was subtle, "But if he asks me who my new love is, whose name should I say?"
Just say any name, and everyone was just watching the fun and said, "Just say Yu Sheng."
Yu Li looked at Ming Yu Sheng: "Yu Sheng, are you willing? You also know that Cui Ze has a bad reputation. He won't lose his temper with me, but he may come after you——"
"No, no, no!" Ming Yusheng refused frantically before he could finish his words. No one knew what was wrong with Cui Ze during this period. Maybe his bloodline awakened after studying with his father, and he became as ruthless as his father. Everyone who opposed him was severely beaten. The criticism of him in the circle had been upgraded from "dog" to "wolf".
If his name were mentioned, there would be no doubt that Cui Ze would assassinate him tonight.
Yu Li said with a hint of regret: "Yu Sheng doesn't want to, let's find someone else. Who of you is willing, Zhi Liang? Zhou Hai?"
Those whose names were called waved their hands.
In the end, the group was silent for a long time, and then simply kicked Yu Li out: "It's not fun, go play somewhere else."
Yu Li stood up while apologizing. How could she have been so broken? "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Is it a provocation?" someone asked.
Ming Yusheng gave him an affirmative look: "This apology is more like a winner showing off."
…Asi.
After being "excluded", Yu Li went to find the bathroom. The party would be over in half an hour, and she was thinking about looking for Li Xianzhu.
Tonight you can go back to Yeonhwa Manor with Lee Hyun-joo to see Kwon Jae-kyung, the "Pure Love God".
Coming out of the bathroom, Yu Li lowered her head to wipe the water off her hands. A shadow fell in front of her, and she stopped in time.
Looking up, it was Hong Wuxu.
Yu Li changed direction immediately.
"Yuli! Quan Yuli!" Hong Wuxu called out from behind, quickly catching up. "Hey, are you still angry?"
Yu Li glanced around. Cheng Xiyin was not there and there were few people here. Hong Wuxu lowered his voice deliberately, sounding sneaky.
Cosplaying as a thief in your own home? Hilarious.
"What's up?"
Hong Wuxu was unsure about the lukewarm attitude and tried to probe: "I apologized to you last time, but you ignored me."
Yu Li: "Kong Yizi apologizes to you, are you willing to have a drink with her?"
Hong Wuxu was stunned for a moment, then felt incredible again: "You put me and Kong Yizi together?"
He looked hurt.
Yu Li was a little impatient. She opened her phone and handed it to Hong Wuxu: "Look at the time. The party is almost over. If you have something to say, just say it."
Hong Wuxu touched the back of his head, feeling a little guilty: "Well, Hengzhu and I haven't seen each other for many days. She knew I was getting engaged, so she ignored me."
It was Jiang Hengzhu again, and Yu Li looked cold.
Hong Wuxu: "I finally got her to come see me. She's outside the back door now. Yuli, can you help me bring her in?"
As soon as he moves, his mother will find out, and Jiang Hengzhu can't come in without anyone to escort her.
Yu Li's eyelids twitched, and she found it unbelievable.
In this kind of situation, make an appointment with Jiang Hengzhu to meet?
"Hong Wuxu, your life is over." Yu Li didn't even want to scold him anymore. She left after saying that. Whoever wanted to help could help. She wouldn't help anyway.
Hong Wuxu kicked the flowerpot and asked, "Why do you all dislike Hengzhu?"
Yu Li didn't know if Hong Wuxu had contacted anyone else. She returned to Lee Hyun Joo and, after hearing so much praise, her smile froze. Fortunately, it was almost time, and the guests gradually left. Lee Hyun Joo and Yu Li also stood up.
Just as she reached the gate, there was a commotion behind her. Yu Li turned around curiously and saw the Cheng family walking towards the gate angrily. Cheng's mother was holding Cheng Xiyin, who had an expressionless face, tightly, while Hong's mother was carefully persuading her from the side.
"What's going on?" Li Xianzhu asked in surprise.
Someone who knew the inside story covered their mouth and laughed: "They said they saw Hong Wuxu hugging a girl and saying that she was the only one in his heart. There were a lot of people around at the time, and the Cheng family members were furious on the spot."
Everyone knew how today's banquet came about. Even the fact that Hong Wuxu was entangled with other women was not a big deal. The bad thing was that the marriage had not been completed yet, and the Cheng family was embarrassed in public.
If the marriage continues, Cheng Xiyin will be ridiculed to death.
So that's how it is. Yu Li accepted it calmly, but Hong Wuxu still went to meet Jiang Hengzhu.
She just felt sorry for the person who helped her. She left with Li Xianzhu and ran into Hong Jae-heon who was seeing him off at the door. Suddenly, she realized that she didn't necessarily need to ask her friends for help.
This is not a ready-made "Bodhisattva".
In fact, Yu Li guessed correctly.
Jiang Hengzhu was let in by Hong Jae-heon. When Hong Wuxu was sweating anxiously in the back garden, Jiang Hengzhu appeared in front of him.
He looked puzzled: "How did you get in?"
Jiang Hengzhu was also puzzled: "It seems that the security guard recognized the wrong person. He said I was the eldest daughter of a certain family, and someone had instructed to open the door for that lady, so he let me in."
Hong Wuxu only helped him that day, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. He hugged her in his arms and talked sweet words to her for a long time.
Including that he will not marry Cheng Xiyin, and will work hard to fight for the right to freedom of marriage with his parents. She is the only one in his heart.
Jiang Hengzhu struggled at first, but later, perhaps moved by Hong Wuxu, she hugged him back.
Hong Wuxu was delighted.
Jiang Hengzhu touched Hong Wuxu's head: "Wuxu, do you really like me so much?"
Hong Wuxu nodded vigorously: "I want to be with you forever."
Jiang Hengzhu smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, of course you will be with Hengzhu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Cheng family who were lured over by Hong Zaixian appeared.
The next morning, Yu Li woke up to hear that the Hong and Sung families' marriage was off. At least, it wouldn't happen until everyone had forgotten about Hong Wuxu and Jiang Hengzhu. Sung Hee Yin wasn't too old, so there was no rush to get married.
Hong Xian was so angry about Hong Wuxu's actions that he had a headache. He didn't like Hong Jae-heon and wanted to leave the company to Hong Wuxu, but Hong Wuxu was in a hopeless situation, so he began to doubt his decision.
If you want to inherit the Hong Group, you must either have strong technical capabilities or be able to manage a company. Hong Wuxu has neither.
Mother Hong hated Jiang Hengzhu so much that she wanted to eat her.
Yu Li thought it was a joke. She was most concerned about Seo Jae Dam right now. Choi Taek had to sit in the back row. Seo Jae Dam was on a flight this afternoon, and she didn't know if he could bring his belongings back.
As a result, we waited until the evening. After finishing dinner with Cui Ze, there was still no sign of Xu Jae Tan.
It shouldn't be. Yu Li thought that maybe something happened on the road, but Xu Zaitan is not a person without identity. There should have been news on the Internet if something happened to him.
Back at Tianshuitai, Cui Ze was ready to make a move, but Yu Li pushed him away and first sent a message to Zheng Ruizhen to ask about Xu Zaitan's whereabouts. After learning that Xu Zaitan had returned home safely in the afternoon, she called Xu Zaitan.
She had a hunch that Xu Zaitan must have discovered something.
The first time, no one answered.
Yu Li paused for two seconds and dialed again. Her patience limited her. If Xu Zaitan didn't answer, he would have to handle any problems himself.
Xu family villa, bedroom.
Xu Zaitan sat on the ground holding the doll and stared at it. He had been in this position since he came back and had not even eaten dinner.
He did find one thing inside the doll, a videotape, and after watching it he finally understood why so many people wanted it.
It can be said that the whole country will be in an uproar once this thing is released.
He came to his senses when Yu Li called, but he backed away when he saw the caller ID. He didn't know how to face Yu Li.
The phone automatically hung up after no one answered it for a long time. Xu Zaitan couldn't tell whether he was relieved or not. Before he could adjust himself, the phone rang again.
Xu Zaitan hardened his heart and pressed the answer button.
Yu Li's surprised voice came: "I thought I was blocked."
Xu Zaitan opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Yu Li was keenly aware that Xu Zaitan was in a bad mood. Xu Zaitan was always enthusiastic when facing her. If he was unsure about something, he would talk non-stop, hoping that she would give him some advice. But now, this could only mean one thing -
"Xu Zaitan, have you found the thing?" Before going abroad, Xu Zaitan told her that there was something his parents gave him and he deliberately left it abroad. He was quite honest with her at that time, but now he was on guard.
There was no response, so Yu Li emphasized, "Speak."
Unable to help but, Xu Zaitan uttered an aggrieved "hmm", his mouth spoke faster than his brain.
After saying "um", he slapped her in the mouth. Why did she listen to Yu Li so much?
As long as they could still talk, Yu Li sat down on the sofa while Cui Ze took care of his own business. "You're so silent, let me guess, is the thing you got related to your parents' death?"
Xu Zaitan tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "I'm almost sure."
Yu Li continued with the next question: "But you didn't contact me after you came back, and I didn't want to answer my calls. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility."
"You suspect my father is the murderer?"
Hong Zaixian said that what Xu Zaitan had in his hands could not only bring down Hong Xian, but also give him power.
Xu Zaitan said nothing more.
At the same time, Hong Jae-heon went to a residential building. The building was old and he did not get out of the car. People passing by stared at the car.
This must be a luxury car. It's rare for rich people to come here.
Hong Jae-heon ignored the looks and glanced at the top floor from the car window. It was dark there and the owner had not returned yet.
Not long after, a baby-faced girl with a ponytail came over carrying a bag. She looked very cute, but her mouth was tightly pursed.
"Xu Youyuan." Hong Zaixian rolled down the car window and called out, then opened the door when the girl turned around. "I heard your mother is ill and needs a large sum of money."
"It's really hard for me to see the former eldest daughter of the Xu family living in a place like this."
"How about working together?"
