Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Utilization
After Chi Zhao discovered that there was another hidden reason behind his mother's departure, he had a big quarrel with Chi Mingyuan.
Chi Mingyuan insisted that Jiang Yuling had run away from home and that she had a man outside and had betrayed him.
Of course Chi Zhao didn't believe it. Although his impression of his mother was extremely vague, he also knew that Chi Mingyuan's words could not be trusted.
He saw with his own eyes that Chi Mingyuan brought women of different identities home and spent a night with them.
Later, Chi Mingyuan married Meng Jian and they gave birth to Chi Xi.
Even after having a wife, Chi Mingyuan never stopped having affairs with women outside. There were always different people around him.
At first, Chi Zhao thought it was just a melodramatic story. Jiang Yuling and Chi Mingyuan fell in love in China, and they went to Ninglan to work hard together. Their lives gradually got better, but Jiang Yuling found out that Chi Mingyuan had another woman outside, and ran away from home in anger.
But when Chi Zhao grew up, he couldn't help but investigate his mother's departure, but found some unusual signs.
For example, he found that he could not contact his mother's family.
Grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt...
No one can be contacted.
For example, he found his mother's diary, which vaguely wrote about her keen sense of smell.
Chi Mingyuan didn't care about anything about Jiang Yuling, so he didn't notice.
The diary also mentioned many times that she could not sit idly by and wait for death.
Only then did Chi Zhao realize that Jiang Yuling's departure was not that simple.
He began to look for his mother everywhere.
Chi Zhao said, "I have been in contact with the Chinese military. They know everything I do. I cooperated with them to stop Chi Mingyuan from doing some of the things he wanted to do, and I had to let Chi Mingyuan accomplish some of the things he wanted to do. It can be said that everything Chi Mingyuan did over the years is clear to them."
Chi Xi's mouth slowly opened wider and couldn't be retracted.
His brother is...
Undercover?
Spy? ?
He is from China? !
Chi Xi sat down in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover.
So many things have happened in the past few days that his brain capacity is almost insufficient.
How could Chi Zhao be from China?
Sang Baiyu was not too surprised by this.
Although she and Chi Zhao had never explained it clearly, she had already guessed it in her heart.
From the beginning to the end, Chi Zhao's behavior was not like that of an ordinary businessman, and he seemed to have concealed nothing in front of her.
Chi Zhao said to Chi Xi: "What Chi Mingyuan did must be punished by law, and I will continue to look for my mother's whereabouts. I hope you can protect yourself and your mother, and don't let her be persecuted by Chi Mingyuan."
“My mother…”
Chi Zhao glanced at Sang Baiyu. "You always follow her around. Aren't you worried that something might happen to Auntie? Although Auntie and I aren't close, she hasn't treated me badly over the years. She always prepares a portion for me of anything you have. I don't want anything to happen to her."
Chi Xi stared at Chi Zhao in a daze.
After a long while, he finally said with a determined heart: "I understand, brother, I will go find my mother and protect her."
Chi Zhao looked at Chi Xi's sincere eyes, and his heart softened.
He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't have any good feelings towards this family before, and I don't have any good feelings towards you either. I think after this is over, we can get to know each other again. We are brothers, now and in the future."
Chi Xi's eyes have begun to bubble.
God knows how much he wants to be close to Chi Zhao, but over the years, he has to muster up the courage to even talk to Chi Zhao!
Chi Xi threw herself into Chi Zhao's arms and cried again spinelessly.
Sang Baiyu stood in front of the window and looked at the sky.
This Chi Xi... Chi Zhao sold him out, and he still has to help Chi Zhao count the money!
Chi Zhao patted Chi Xi's shoulder gently and said, "There is one more thing I must tell you. Our next action will begin soon."
Chi Xi wiped away her tears and looked at Chi Zhao blankly.
Chi Zhao said: "All illegal businesses under his name must be banned. You...your first priority is to take care of yourself. Also, his property in the future will need us to handle it."
*
Chen Zhiming is indeed a good businessman. He knows what Chi Mingyuan wants, and he sent the money before the goods even arrive.
Chi Mingyuan looked at the pile of cash in the living room, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the uneasiness he had been feeling for a long time finally faded a little.
As long as you have money, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
Even if she came.
Even if she really came, so what? He could give her more money than she could spend in her lifetime, so why would she give up her wealth and glory and go against him for someone else?
The more Chi Mingyuan thought about it, the more relaxed he felt.
The assistant came over and reported Chen Zhiming's latest developments.
Chi Mingyuan praised, "He's really a good guy. We should have partnered with him a long time ago, and nothing would have happened. I chose the wrong person in the beginning. I actually fell for Hua Zi. I was blind."
The assistant smiled flatteringly, "This business is going well, you can go back without worry."
"It's time to go back," Chi Mingyuan said. "I always feel uneasy staying somewhere else. I haven't slept well these past few days. Go pack up your things and we'll get ready to go back. Oh, by the way, I'll clean up the things in the study myself, you don't have to worry about it."
This is Chi Mingyuan's habit. He does not allow anyone else to handle any important documents.
Chi Mingyuan was calculating in his mind how much money he could make from this business.
In fact, not much goods were sold to Chen Zhiming, at least not meeting Chi Mingyuan's expectations.
But Chen Zhiming is right, they need a bridge and a bond between them, and Chen Zhiming can be this bond.
What excites Chi Mingyuan the most is the pharmaceutical business, which is where the real money is made.
As long as people take the medicine and become addicted, all ordinary people will come to buy it. This is different from weapons.
In the past, Chi Zhao always stopped him from doing these businesses. If it weren't for Chi Zhao, his family fortune would probably have to double again.
Now I can finally get things done without Chi Zhao.
Chi Mingyuan thought of Chi Zhao and felt a little uneasy.
He asked his assistant, "Has Chi Zhao been honest these days?"
The assistant replied, "The people monitoring the young master said that he hasn't left since you transferred him, and has been busy with the business over there."
Chi Mingyuan said, "It's good that he doesn't make any moves. If he were in Longxinggang, I wouldn't be able to do anything with him at all. This kid is too stubborn. Why doesn't he understand that all of my family property will be passed down to them in the future?"
The assistant said, "The young master is still young."
"Oh, when I was his age, I already knew what to do."
After Chi Mingyuan finished speaking, he wanted to go to the study to pack up the documents he had to carry with him.
Some of the documents were signed with the big guys of Ninglan Country, which can save lives when necessary.
Before he had taken a few steps, the phone in the villa rang.
The assistant walked over to answer the phone and was surprised to hear the voice coming from the microphone, "It's the young master."
Chi Mingyuan frowned.
Chi Xi called him a few days ago, but after the call was connected, he hung up without saying anything.
Chi Mingyuan walked to the phone and picked up the receiver.
He subconsciously looked out the window, wanting to confirm that someone was not deliberately luring him to answer the phone and then taking his life.
But he was obviously worrying too much.
Chi Xi's crying voice came from the microphone, "Dad, I won't dare to do it again, please help me, they are so scary, they want to kill me, this person wants to kill me!"
Chi Mingyuan frowned, "Who wants to kill you? Where are you?"
Chi Xi said in horror: "I don't know, they called him Brother Hua, I don't know anything, I was brought here as soon as I opened my eyes, please save me!"
Soon, someone else answered the phone, and a familiar voice came from the microphone, "Mr. Chi, I'm sincere in doing business with you. Why do you insist on doing business with Heizi? Do you know that this will put me in a passive position?"
Chi Mingyuan said calmly: "Those people in the jade shop are indeed your people."
"Not really," Hua said in a relaxed tone, "but your youngest son is really stupid. He chases girls every day, and they don't like him, so why does he still chase them? He is really nothing like you."
Chi Mingyuan asked: "What do you want?"
"Me? Don't you know what I want? Of course I want weapons!" Hua Ge's voice was fierce. "If you still want your son to live, stop the deal with Heizi and we can negotiate again. If you don't want to... then it's up to you!"
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
The assistant looked at Chi Mingyuan nervously, "Should we quickly find someone to get the young master out?"
Chi Mingyuan slowly sat down on the sofa, frowning in thought, "Something doesn't seem right."
The assistant was stunned. "What did you say?"
"There's something wrong with this Huazi," Chi Mingyuan said. "If he really just wanted to do business with us, why did he do that in the first place? I'm worried this is a trap."
The assistant said, "But Chi Xi is indeed in his hands. If we don't go, what if he really kills someone? These people are cruel and ruthless, and they are capable of anything."
Chi Mingyuan slowly shook his head, "Can't take the risk."
The assistant looked at Chi Mingyuan in surprise.
Chi Xi is Chi Mingyuan's most beloved son, so what does it mean that he cannot take risks?
Chi Mingyuan had already made up his mind, "Let's leave it to Mander. He will take care of it. We will withdraw according to the original plan. We have to keep a close eye on Chen Zhiming. The subsequent business still depends on him."
The assistant was speechless for a moment.
Even though Chi Mingyuan paid him generously, he was still a little worried now.
He worried that one day, Chi Mingyuan would also abandon him.
Even Chi Xi could be abandoned, let alone ordinary people like them.
Chi Mingyuan ignored the assistant. He picked up the phone and called Mander.
Strangely, the call never went through.
Chi Mingyuan called several of Mander's confidants, but without exception, no one answered the phone.
Chi Mingyuan's heart was pounding.
Something happened, it must have happened, Mander would not just disappear!
Seeing this, the assistant couldn't help but say, "Send someone to look for General Mander."
Chi Mingyuan glared and said, "He betrayed us?!"
"…What did you say?"
Chi Mingyuan said anxiously: "Who is he in cahoots with? Did he betray me? I just arrived at Longxinggang and he disappeared. Does he want me dead too? These people want me dead, they are not good people! Chi Xi... Chi Xi did it on purpose, he volunteered to go to Changxia! I told him not to stay too far away from me a long time ago, but he refused to listen! They all want me dead! Quick, pack up, let's go!"
The assistant looked at Chi Mingyuan speechlessly.
The phone rang again.
Chi Mingyuan stared at the ringing phone for a long time before looking at his assistant.
The assistant went over to answer the phone.
He looked at Chi Mingyuan with an ugly expression, "It's the young master, he wants to talk to you."
Chi Mingyuan hesitated and asked, "Chi Zhao?"
Assistant: “Yes.”
"Why does he have to talk to me?" Chi Mingyuan's brows knitted tighter and tighter. "He hardly ever calls me. Has he been in contact with Mande recently? Have they teamed up? I know Mande has been doing something behind my back. He's been acting strangely many times!"
The assistant said helplessly: "Do you want to talk to the young master?"
Chi Mingyuan walked over with a sullen face and picked up the microphone.
Chi Zhao's calm voice came, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
Chi Mingyuan listened suspiciously for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he asked, "Why do you say that?"
Chi Zhao was already used to his suspicions and said calmly, "Someone came and sealed off several properties. They were sent by Ninglan Country. Aren't you and General Mander good friends? I can't get through to him, so go contact him and settle this matter. With his status in Ninglan Country, this little thing doesn't mean anything to him."
Mand has always been in charge of the connections with Ninglan Country.
Chi Mingyuan only regarded him as his "thug".
Now that the thugs are gone, things are not going well.
Chi Mingyuan put down the phone and became even more suspicious of Mande's motives.
He couldn't have disappeared for no reason. What happened?
No...Chi Mingyuan would rather believe that he wanted to betray him.
He had to prepare for the worst.
Mande and Chi Zhao may both have second thoughts about him.
Chi Mingyuan quickly ordered, "Go and find out exactly how many properties are being investigated and who is investigating them. Also, find out where MK Mander is as soon as possible and have him come to see me immediately!"
Chi Mingyuan couldn't leave for the time being.
He looked out the window worriedly.
The people around here are all his people, selected by him personally, but so what? Even Mander is unreliable.
Chi Mingyuan called his assistant in again and said, "What have these people been in contact with recently? Go and check. If you find anything unusual, take them away immediately."
The assistant was slightly startled. "You mean the people outside?"
Chi Mingyuan asked impatiently: "Is there anyone else?"
Assistant: "...They have been with you for many years, there will be no problem."
Chi Mingyuan asked back: "Haven't Mande and I been friends for many years?"
"General Mander may be in danger and unable to contact you. You should rescue him immediately..."
Chi Mingyuan sneered, "Only you will believe me. Do as I say, or you will be gone too!"
assistant:"……"
Chi Mingyuan didn't have time to go home.
Bad news came one after another, and half of his properties were seized.
Chi Mingyuan has been making phone calls, looking for his former connections.
But his biggest relationship with Ninglan Kingdom is Mande.
Without exception, those people rejected his request. They told him that the evidence was sufficient and they could not show mercy.
In addition to Mande, Chi Mingyuan also got to know other people. He couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
These people agreed to help him and even offered to maintain a business relationship with him, but it would take time to get to the bottom of the matter.
Chi Mingyuan was extremely anxious and couldn't wait that long.
He doesn't care about his property now, he cares more about why Mander disappeared.
And Chi Zhao, is he aware of these things?
Is it a coincidence, or are they working together to harm him?
It would be fine if it happened at home, but why did it happen when he came to Longxinggang?
Chi Mingyuan felt uncomfortable whenever he thought that Changxia was right next to Longxinggang.
It was as if someone was already raising a sickle and chopping at him.
In the evening, the phone finally rang again.
Chi Mingyuan couldn't wait to answer the phone, but the person who called was not the person he was waiting for.
The assistant walked in quickly, "Oh no, Chen..."
He looked at the phone.
Chi Mingyuan looked at him strangely and returned his attention to the phone.
Chen Zhiming's laughter came, "Boss Chi, did you have a good day today?"
Chi Mingyuan listened with a frown, but did not say a word.
This is his usual style.
Chen Zhiming said with a smile, "We have received your goods. I am really surprised that you actually left the goods at Longxinggang and they arrived immediately. But it was also because I paid too quickly. There is nothing I can do. I am a person who values integrity."
Chi Mingyuan said calmly: "Why, are you dissatisfied with the goods?"
"Not really," Chen Zhiming said. "I just wanted someone to say hello to you."
He spoke a few words to someone nearby, and then there was a strange noise coming from the microphone. Then someone picked up the phone and said to Chi Mingyuan, "Mr. Chi, why don't you trust me? I really want to do business with you."
It’s Zhu Anhua’s voice!
In an instant, Chi Mingyuan felt like he was falling into an abyss.
Zhu Anhua and Chen Zhiming are in the same group! They are not sworn enemies at all!
No, there must be hatred between them. Chi Mingyuan had investigated it in advance, but it was obvious that there was a mutual interest that united them!
Chi Mingyuan suddenly realized that Zhu Anhua was not the person behind the jade shop.
The fact that he can stand with Chen Zhiming shows that there are more powerful people behind them to regulate them!
Who is it?!
Her shadow appeared in Chi Mingyuan's mind.
She is here.
It could also be that someone from China has arrived.
He is no match for them.
Chi Mingyuan immediately put down the phone and called home.
His home is the safest fortress. He built a shelter that is impenetrable even to bombs, and the supplies in the shelter are enough for him to live for decades.
He has to hide.
However, those who stayed at home gave Chi Mingyuan bad news.
"There have been people hanging around in the area over the past few days, but we're not sure of their identities and we haven't been able to catch them."
Sure enough, she came.
Chi Mingyuan sat at his desk in silence.
The assistant waited anxiously.
After a long while, the assistant couldn't help but say, "There might be a problem with Heizi. The goods..."
Is the product still important now?
What matters is that someone wants his life!
The assistant asked, "What should we do?"
Chi Mingyuan looked out the window again, "How are they? Have they contacted anyone they don't know recently?"
"They are absolutely loyal, please rest assured."
Chi Mingyuan stood up and said, "My home is also in danger. It seems that I can only take a gamble now. Come with me!"
*
There are not many cars on the streets of Changxia, and Chi Zhao's car is a bit conspicuous.
He had always behaved very simply, and when he suddenly changed into a luxury car, Sang Baiyu felt a little uncomfortable.
Chi Zhao said: "Don't be disgusted, we must rush over as soon as possible."
Sang Baiyu asked, "Are you sure this is what the note means?"
Chi Zhao didn't comment, "My grandma's house is over there."
Sang Baiyu grabbed Fang Xiaoman and got into the car.
Fang Xiaoman doesn't dare to see Hui Haiming now. It is safer to follow Sang Baiyu.
Bian Bin and Chi Xi were also in the car, and both of them were very quiet now.
Sang Baiyu asked, "Didn't you say you couldn't find grandma's family?"
"We didn't find them at the time," Chi Zhao recounted calmly, "but later we discovered that they were all dead."
“…Dead?”
"All died on the same day, at the same time, and the murderer has not been caught yet."
Sang Baiyu looked at Chi Zhao in surprise.
Even Chi Xi couldn't help but look back.
No wonder Chi Zhao is not close to them. Whenever he sees them, his heart will be filled with hatred, right?
Chi Xi said affectionately, "Brother..."
Bian Bin manually moved Chi Xi's head away and said, "Please let us live more comfortably."
Too corny.
Chi Zhao said: "The number 368 Chunyu on the note, each character represents a meaning. Chuncheng is my mother's hometown, and it is also where my mother and Chi Mingyuan lived together. The word Yu stands for Yuxiang, an alley near my grandmother's house, and the number 368 nearby is a bank."
"Why did Chi Mingyuan put the bank address in a metal box? It's so troublesome to open the box."
Chi Zhao explained, "I don't think you have found all the records. There should be bank deposits or something like that. I found out that some of Chi Mingyuan's property has disappeared. He had already saved a considerable amount of money before he came to Ninglan, and he also had a lot of small antiques. I think all of these things are in that bank."
"Chi Mingyuan hid the deposit slip? And also saved the address? Why did he write down the address? What if we find it?"
Chi Zhao spread his hands. "I don't know about that, but he has the habit of keeping accounts. He will remember every account clearly. He may not be at ease with the money being kept in China. I have seen his account book, and he does record the address."
Sang Baiyu said: "The most important thing is that he must care about this money very much. This amount of money is definitely not a small amount."
Chi Zhao said: "He cares about every penny, but judging from the current situation, the things in the bank do make him care more."
"Are you sure he will go to the bank to withdraw the money?" Fang Xiaoman was still confused. "What if he doesn't go? Or do we have to wait forever? How long will it take?"
Bian Bin started the car and started on his way.
Chuncheng is 800 kilometers away from Changxia, and it takes several hours to drive there. Moreover, the road is not that easy to travel on now.
Sang Baiyu glanced at Chi Xi and said, "Chi Xi, you have to hand over the PHS to me."
Chi Xi obediently took out his pager.
Chi Zhao shook his head slightly.
His younger brother simply obeys Sang Baiyu's every word.
You will definitely suffer losses in the future.
Sang Baiyu said to Chi Zhao again: "Give me your pager as well. You both have the last name Chi, so we have to be a little careful."
Chi Zhao: "..."
Under the gaze of Chi Xi and Fang Xiaoman, Chi Zhao took out a pager.
Sang Baiyu still didn't take his hand back.
Chi Zhao: "..."
He took out another spare phone.
Sang Baiyu smiled and said, "If I find out that you have other instruments on you, I will really kill you."
Chi Zhao: "..."
He then pulled out a small eavesdropping device and recording equipment, emphasizing, "I've always kept these on hand. They're not meant to eavesdrop on our conversation. If you don't believe me, you can ask your eldest sister to contact the military."
Sang Baiyu said, "I believe it, but who knows if Chi Mingyuan will get information from you? What if you guys are not smart enough and get fooled? All our efforts will be wasted. So you have to hand over all your PHS."
Chi Xi looked at his brother helplessly.
In the past, he always thought that Chi Zhao was omnipotent and was a hero in his mind.
Now it seems that his brother listens to Sang Baiyu very much.
Alas, he will suffer in the future.
The two brothers' eyes met strangely.
Both of them were stunned.
Chi Xi: "..."
Chi Zhao: "..."
How did they see...sympathy in each other's eyes?
Bian Bin, Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman took turns driving and had no time to rest.
Chi Xi didn't learn anything. Although he could drive, he was not a good driver and no one was willing to let him drive at night.
He felt quite frustrated that he was being held back.
Fang Xiaoman comforted him, "Don't be sad. I should be the one who's sad. I still don't know anything."
Chi Xi said: "I don't know either."
"But this is what you should do!" Fang Xiaoman's tone left no room for doubt, "You're stupid!"
Chi Xi: "..."
Sang Baiyu took the pager away and no longer worried about Chi Xi being tricked.
In fact, the possibility of Chi Zhao being tricked was very low, but it seemed a bit pitiful for him to only accept Chi Xi's pager, so Sang Baiyu took Chi Zhao's pager away.
Sang Baiyu explained: "I originally discussed with my elder sister to use Chi Xi to attract Chi Mingyuan."
Everyone has weaknesses. Chi Xi is Chi Mingyuan's biological son, so there should be some hope, right?
But Chi Mingyuan didn't care about Chi Xi at all.
He was extremely afraid of Changxia and would rather see Chi Xi get into trouble than set foot in Changxia.
Sang Baiyu was once so angry with Chi Mingyuan that she lost her temper. Fortunately, Chi Zhao sent a message in time, saying that Chi Mingyuan still had property in China.
"Chi Mingyuan doesn't want to care about Chi Xi, but he values money like his life, so we thought, can we use this money to attract him over? If we want him to come and get the money, we must meet several conditions. First, his other assets must be restricted, and second, he can't have any other options."
Fang Xiaoman listened carefully.
"Chi Mingyuan's most important business right now is with Chen Zhiming. In fact, my eldest sister and the others have already discussed this with Chen Zhiming and Zhu Anhua. They can be said to be both my eldest sister's people, but they are all for profit. They have temporarily stopped fighting. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Zhu Anhua is the one in the open. Chi Mingyuan is suspicious by nature and will definitely have some doubts.
Zhu Anhua's exposure was also intentional, and the person who contacted Zhu Anhua was Sang Baiyu.
That's why he was able to escape unscathed, it was all prepared in advance.
"Without Zhu Anhua, the only person Chi Mingyuan could cooperate with was Chen Zhiming. Chen Zhiming is not very reliable. He really wants to make connections and do profitable business, but he is also a filial person and cannot let go of his elderly mother. Chen Zhiming agreed to cooperate with us, and we also promised a lot."
Fang Xiaoman said, "So this deal was never going to work? No matter how Chi Mingyuan chooses, the ones he picks will always be ours?"
"Yes," Sang Baiyu said, "If they don't cooperate, they will be arrested and thrown into prison. They have a lot of crimes. They are still very considerate and cooperate very actively."
Bian Bin: “…”
How can this not be positive?
"That's when the evidence my elder sister collected comes in handy. Although it can't completely destroy Chi Mingyuan's industry, it can temporarily trap him." Sang Baiyu said, "The most important person is Mande. Mande and Chi Mingyuan have worked together for many years, and Mande is also from Ning Lan's side, so he has great power. Fortunately, he is not a careful person and is now lying in the basement."
A day ago, Sang Baiyu found Hui Haiming, hoping that she would give up the assassination of Chi Mingyuan.
Hui Haiming and Su Lanyi were originally prepared to die together, but Sang Baiyu suggested that they go find Mande.
It is also dangerous to look for Mander, after all, his status is still there.
However, Mande and Chi Mingyuan are obviously two extremes. Chi Mingyuan is extremely cautious, while Mande is extremely confident.
Sang Baiyu said, "In short, Chi Mingyuan can't contact anyone right now. Given his personality, he'll definitely suspect a scam. At this point, he's most likely to take the money and flee. But Ning Lan's assets are already restricted, so it'll take some time to complete the investigation. The money he can move is in China, and it's the money he's always wanted."
Fang Xiaoman asked: "What will he do when he returns home? His family should have money."
"Eldest sister and second brother have already passed away," Sang Baiyu sighed, "that's the worst-case scenario."
Chi Zhao said: "Don't worry, I sent someone there a long time ago. His people must have reported that there are unidentified suspicious elements near his home, and he dare not go back."
Bian Bin asked cautiously, "Could it be that they understand Chi Mingyuan's character so well because..."
Sang Baiyu: "Of course it was Chi Zhao who said that! He said Chi Mingyuan is very afraid of death."
Bian Bin: “…”
Chi Xi secretly looked at Chi Zhao.
Chi Zhao sensed his gaze and said, "I must make him pay the price."
Chi Xi lowered his head and said, "I know, I know everything."
He couldn't help but wonder what he would choose if his father and mother were still on good terms.
Maybe he just couldn't bear to let his father leave.
Chi Xi felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, Chi Mingyuan and Meng Jian had a falling out, which made his choice not so difficult.
At daybreak, the car finally arrived at No. 368, Chuncheng Yuxiang.
Passing by an abandoned house, Chi Zhao whispered, "The information shows that this is my mother's home."
Apart from Bian Bin who was driving, the only one awake was Sang Baiyu.
She looked out the car window at the ruins that had not yet been dealt with, and then looked at Chi Zhao.
"The Jiang family is quite famous in Chuncheng," Chi Zhao said, perhaps to Sang Baiyu. "They are considered a family of scholars. My mother is also a scientific researcher. I heard that my uncle likes to collect antiques, and my aunt is a doctor."
Sang Baiyu frowned.
Such a family configuration would be considered a large family today.
And they are a big family that lives a good life.
"When they were killed, all the valuables in the house were taken away. The police suspected that the thieves were random. But my mother's body was nowhere to be found, so they began to suspect her again."
When Jiang Yulin left China, she was still a suspect in a homicide case, but the inspections at that time were more lax than they are now, and Jiang Yulin had left before the case was made public.
To date, Jiang Yuling is still one of the suspects.
Sang Baiyu asked, "Didn't the police suspect Chi Mingyuan?"
Chi Zhao sneered and said, "Chi Mingyuan never went to the Jiang family. It was my mother who communicated with the family all along. At first, the Jiang family was very happy to hear that my mother had found a soldier, but gradually something was wrong. My mother began to stay out all night frequently. They thought this was abnormal, so they began to stop them from continuing their relationship. Unfortunately..."
Sang Baiyu remembered that Hui Haiming also mentioned Jiang Yuling.
Hui Haiming's comrade was killed because of an important piece of information.
Sang Baiyu asked curiously, "Not coming home at night? Back then? Did the Jiang family know about it?"
Chi Zhao said: "It seems that I have an uncle who is also in the army and holds a high position. He should have met Chi Mingyuan and knows him better. Maybe he saw Chi Mingyuan's true nature?"
Sang Baiyu was surprised and asked, "How high is your uncle's position? Is he high enough to get confidential documents?"
Chi Zhao looked at Sang Baiyu strangely, "Why do you ask?"
Sang Baiyu pressed on: "Is it possible that Chi Mingyuan stole your uncle's documents? Think about it carefully."
Chi Zhao frowned.
This doesn't seem completely impossible.
His uncle holds a very high position and must have handled confidential documents.
Chi Zhao asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Sang Baiyu lowered her voice, "My eldest sister and Chi Mingyuan were once comrades-in-arms. Chi Mingyuan stole confidential documents and left. My eldest sister and several comrades went after him, but they all got killed by Chi Mingyuan. Only my eldest sister escaped under their cover."
Chi Zhao was stunned.
It turns out that Chi Mingyuan approached Jiang Yuling...with bad intentions.
Jiang Yuling was used.
Chi Mingyuan just wants to get closer to his uncle?!
Chi Zhao couldn't believe it for a moment.
Did the mother do it on purpose, or was she also deceived?
He was so confused that his eyes began to blur.
The corners of my eyes hurt so much that I could hardly open them.
Sang Baiyu whispered, "You take a break, I'll keep an eye on it."
Chi Zhao closed his eyes, his mind in a mess.
The bank at No. 368 is still open for business.
This is a local bank in Jiachuncheng, and it is only available in a few nearby cities.
Chi Zhao contacted the bank president in advance and asked them to find out what Chi Mingyuan had stored.
However, the note did not specify what was deposited, nor did they know which cabinet it was in. The bank could not open every cabinet for them to check, so they had to go back to the car and wait.
This wait lasted the entire morning.
Fang Xiaoman went out and bought lunch.
Chuncheng is a small city with extremely low prices.
She went to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes, which didn't cost much in total.
Bian Bin felt really bad, "If I keep eating like this, my salary will be gone."
"Ah?" Fang Xiaoman said, "This is all Chi Zhao pays you?"
Bian Bin asked doubtfully, "Are you very profitable? Is it just running a jade shop? Is it very profitable?"
Fang Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. "Tsk, the money we earn, that's...tsk, my monthly pocket money is more than your annual salary."
Bian Bin: “…”
He quit his job and decided to open a jade shop!
Bian Bin looked at Chi Zhao resentfully.
Chi Zhao: "..., go back and add a little more."
Chi Xi said: "Why are you competing with them? With Xiaoyu here, how can the jade shop not make money? She is the best at choosing gambling stones. She knows which stones contain good jade."
Bian Bin felt more balanced.
He looked at Sang Baiyu attentively and asked, "Does your store still need anyone? I'm a hard worker and would be a good fit for you."
Sang Baiyu: "Can you work?"
Bian Bin said: "And I'm also very bad, which is definitely suitable for you!"
Sang Baiyu: "..."
Why do villains suit them?
They didn't wait around all morning, Chi Zhao kept answering the phone.
His pager is in Sang Baiyu's hands, so it is not very convenient for him to answer the phone.
So when Sang Baiyu answered the phone again, the person on the other end laughed and said, "Are you Sang Baiyu?"
Sang Baiyu was shocked.
She kicked Chi Zhao, suspecting him of leaking the secret.
The other party added: "Xiaohui told me about you. You have to protect yourself."
Sang Baiyu: "..."
Chi Zhao is really one of theirs.
Can……
After Chi Zhao hung up the phone, Sang Baiyu looked at Chi Zhao's body and asked doubtfully: "With your physical fitness, can you also join the Chinese army?"
Chi Zhao: "..."
What happened to his physical fitness!
He is more than capable of beating ordinary people!
…
It’s just that the people around him are not ordinary people.
Sang Baiyu said earnestly, "If you continue like this, I'm really worried that you'll die someday. How about this? Give me one million and I'll protect you from now on."
Chi Xi rushed to raise his hand, "I'll pay, I'm willing to pay!"
Fang Xiaoman stuffed a big steamed bun into his mouth and said, "Eat yours. Do you really think we're willing to make any money?"
Chi Xi said aggrievedly: "Xiaoyu is willing to protect my brother."
Fang Xiaoman: "Look at your brother's appearance, and then look at yourself. I feel tired protecting you."
Chi Xi: "..."
He really wasn't suited to this world.
Sang Baiyu and his companions were unable to wait for Chi Mingyuan.
There was no information from the customs about Chi Mingyuan crossing the border.
However, this does not prove that Chi Mingyuan did not enter Chinese territory.
He could have disguised himself or taken some other route.
The key is, will he come?

Chi Ming has been feeling uneasy these past few days, especially after meeting Wu Yuanqing.
She even dreamed of Wu Yuanqing once, dreaming that Wu Yuanqing was looking for his daughter everywhere.
She had had similar dreams countless times, but the situation was the opposite. In the previous dreams, she was looking for her father.
She was seven years old when she went missing. She was sensible and knew everything.
That day, the kindergarten teacher said she would take her to find her parents, and then she appeared at the train station.
A strange woman took her hand and told her that her parents were on the train.
Chi Ming had never been on a train before, and he was very excited to see this huge and unfamiliar thing, and believed it to be real.
She had a lot of fun on the train, but she didn't expect to lose her parents.
Life in Changxia City was not good, as there were no shelters at that time.
A woman living with several children does not have enough to eat every day.
The woman said that their food coupons were limited and they could only make do with what they had.
Chi Ming hid in the house and cried every night, and she would write her name on the ground.
Every time the woman found out, she would scold her and even beat her.
The woman told Chi Ming that this was her only name and she was a member of the Chi family.
Then Chi Ming slowly forgot his real name.
I also forgot what my parents looked like.
Thinking about it now, she was already seven years old at that time and should not have forgotten it.
Perhaps the repeated beatings made her afraid to remember it.
Chi Ming was resentful towards her parents. She hated them for not looking for her and for not saving her.
Chi Ming thought again of what Wu Yuanqing had said to her.
It was ridiculous that he actually told her that her companions were taking advantage of her.
How could she not know?
