Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The one who took action
Hui Haiming was once a member of the Chinese Special Forces, carrying out special missions across borders.
After retiring from the army, he stayed in Longxinggang to avenge his former comrades.
She only said that Fang Xiaoman and the others were orphans she adopted, but didn't give any specific details.
After reading Su Lanyi's file, Sang Baiyu was a little dumbfounded. "My second brother's father is... a scientist?"
Chi Zhao said: "To be precise, he is an astronomer."
Sang Baiyu put away the file and asked, "Can I take it with me?"
Chi Zhao smiled, "This is my sincerity."
Sang Baiyu was about to thank him when Chi Zhao said, "Don't be so quick to thank me. I have a condition. I want to go with you when we investigate this matter."
Sang Baiyu looked very embarrassed.
Chi Zhao said: "They are both smart people and can cooperate now. Besides, I never thought that Chi Mingyuan and I were on the same front."
Sang Baiyu looked at Bian Bin.
Chi Zhao thought she still had doubts and continued, "I told you that my mother's whereabouts are still unknown. Chi Mingyuan insisted that she was dead, but I didn't believe it."
Sang Baiyu said earnestly: "I believe you, what I mean is..."
Sang Baiyu leaned over to Chi Zhao and whispered, "Isn't it too dangerous for you to go out with only Bian Bin?"
With his small body, her second brother could easily cripple him.
Bian Bin: “Hey!!”

Chi Zhao has been active around Longxinggang all year round, and he also has a home there.
Longxinggang is the only way for Ning Lan to go to China. No matter whether it is a legitimate trade or a trade that requires people to be carried out privately, he must pass through Longxinggang.
Because of foreign trade exports, Longxinggang is actually a very prosperous city in Ninglan Country.
But Ninglan's land area is too small, and it is a weak country. Compared with the cities in China, Longxinggang is not worth mentioning.
There aren't many people in the wealthy area of Longxinggang.
To avoid being disturbed, several villas near Chi Zhao's home are assets of the Chi family.
Chi Xi is making a scene at home.
He ran from upstairs to downstairs and back upstairs countless times throughout the day.
In other words, there were no pedometers now. If there were, he would definitely be able to run 20,000 steps.
Chi Zhao put on his sunglasses again and looked at him calmly.
Chi Xi begged: "Brother, just tell Dad to let me go. I am good at eating, drinking and having fun. I really can't run the company you guys run."
Chi Zhao said: "You mean, I go to make money, and you just eat, drink and have fun?"
Chi Xi approached Chi Zhao and said flatteringly, "You can eat, drink and have fun with me. Let's eat Dad's food together and let him do the work."
Several bodyguards tried hard not to laugh.
Chi Zhao supported his forehead with his hand and said nonchalantly: "You should always tell me what you want to do."
"What can't I do?" Chi Xi said, "I just don't kill or burn people."
Bian Bin: “…”
Chi Mingyuan should hope that Chi Xi would kill people and set fires, right?
Chi Zhao was silent for a long time and said, "The more you act like this, the more worried your father will be."
Chi Xi shook his shoulders like a spoiled child, "Oh, I just wanted to go find Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu hasn't seen me for several days, and she must be worried."
Chi Zhao remembered Sang Baiyu's cheerful smile before he left, "Well, he must be anxious."
"Brother, haven't you seen Xiaoyu? Isn't she very pretty and awesome? She's also a very good student."
Chi Zhao said: "It's okay."
"Humph, you have too little contact with Xiaoyu. You don't understand. If you knew her, you would definitely like her."
Chi Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Maybe."
Chi Xi asked excitedly: "Why don't you go meet her with me again, and then we can play together in the future."
Chi Zhao asked: "You like her, is it just because you want to play together?"
Chi Xi covered his face in embarrassment, "Xiao Yu is still young, don't fall in love too early!!"
Chi Zhao kept smiling and said, "Okay, go meet her when you have time."
He returned to his room.
Chi Zhao's room was on the first floor, and it was late at night, so it was inconvenient for him to climb the stairs.
Chi Xi once laughed at him for having an old man's lifestyle.
Chi Zhao didn't turn on the light and sat on the small sofa beside the bed in the dark.
He was the one who oversaw the decoration of this villa in Chinese style.
The rich people in Ninglan Country like European and American styles, but Chi Zhao doesn't like them very much.
He closed his eyes, and Chi Xi chattered in his mind. Chi Xi kept muttering that he wanted to find Sang Baiyu.
Chi Zhao naturally disagreed.
He originally didn't plan to contact Sang Baiyu again, but now he has changed his mind.
Chi Zhao raised the corners of his mouth with joy, picked up the microphone in the room and called the jade shop.
The person who answered the phone was a strange girl, probably Ning Hongying.
Chi Zhao politely said that he was looking for Sang Baiyu.
Soon, Sang Baiyu answered the phone, "Any new clues?"
Chi Zhao said: "Not yet."
"Anything else?"
Chi Zhao curled his lips, "Nothing, I just wanted to confirm your voice."
Sang Baiyu was obviously stunned, "Huh?"
Chi Zhao said: "If you can't see people, you have to rely on sound to identify them, just like you. Nothing else, good night."
Sang Baiyu slowly replied, "Good night."
Chi Zhao hung up the phone.
Chi Xi was knocking on the door frantically. "Brother! Why is Sang Baiyu ignoring me? I called her, but she didn't want to answer!!"
Chi Zhao leaned against the wall to open the door, his smile still bright. "She seems to be a very polite person. She probably just doesn't want to answer your call."
Chi Xi: "..."
ah! !

After seeing his own file, Su Lanyi was silent for a long time.
He took up the candle and lit a corner of the file.
After burning it clean, he asked, "Is this given to you by Chi Zhao?"
Sang Baiyu was more or less a little afraid of his second brother, so he nodded obediently.
Su Lanyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is my family matter."
Fang Xiaoman expressed her dissatisfaction, "Eldest sister told us, and you kept it a secret. How disloyal."
Sang Baiyu nodded.
Fang Xiaoman: "Why does silly Hongying know everything but hide it from me?"
Ning Hongying said slowly, "Could it be because... you are actually the stupidest one?"
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
She wants to fight this stutterer! !
Su Lanyi said: "My father studied astronomy, so my name is Lanyi. He was involved in secret research and returned home two years later. My mother and I didn't know what he was doing. It was only a week after he returned home that our family suffered an accident."
Su Landi was only seven years old at that time.
He loved to play and refused to go home even after dark, squatting outside to catch grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers jump high and run fast, making them difficult to catch. He often competes with his friends to see who can catch more.
His mother didn't go out to look for him that day. He went home only after he had enough fun.
It was strange that the alley, which was always crowded with people, was actually empty. He became more and more uneasy as he walked, and all he could think of was the image of his mother beating him up.
Su Lanyi was in a strange mood.
He wanted to go home, but he didn't dare to go home. The closer he got to home, the stronger this feeling of uneasiness became.
He also discovered that his anxiety was no longer just about being beaten by his parents.
Su Lanyi recounted calmly, "When I got home, I saw the courtyard gate and the house door were all open. I walked in and found that my mother, father, and my five-year-old sister had all been murdered."
Fang Xiaoman was frightened when she heard this and hid behind Sang Baiyu unconsciously.
Su Lanyi said: "I heard some movement in the house and thought the murderer was still there. I didn't have the courage to fight him and chose to run away. Not long after I ran away, I met my uncle. I didn't even dare to ask my uncle for help and ran away on my own."
Sang Baiyu asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"
Su Lanyi shook his head. "After I escaped, I learned that the police knew about my family's case, but they hadn't caught the murderer. I didn't go back. I thought the murderer would kill me too, and I was very scared."
Sang Baiyu asked curiously, "Why do you think so? Will the police protect you?"
Su Lanyi said truthfully, "I don't know either. My memories are actually very contradictory. Sometimes I think I stayed, and sometimes I think I ran away without even entering the house. I can't tell which is true. The doctor said this is normal and it's the brain's way of protecting itself."
Fang Xiaoman asked: "Second brother, don't you want to catch the murderer?"
"Of course I do. What I'm doing now is to make the murderer pay the price." Su Lanyi said, "I found out that the research my father was involved in was targeted by Ning Languo. Ning Languo's talents took action, and another scientist was killed at the same time as my father. That's why I stayed in Longxinggang."
Sang Baiyu thought of Hui Haiming's purpose and asked, "The people from Ninglan Country, could they be referring to Chi Mingyuan?"
Su Lanyi did not deny it. "It's just a guess, no evidence, but I'm sure of it."
There is no point in catching the person who did it. Only by catching the person behind the scenes can his parents rest in peace.
Sang Baiyu approached Su Lanyi and said, "Second brother, actually Chi Zhao also said..."
Su Lanyi waited quietly for what was to come.
Sang Baiyu was embarrassed for a while and said, "Chi Zhao said that you might also be interested in the person who did it."
