The memory card was inserted into the card reader and connected to the computer. The video file appeared on the screen in the living room.

Under the camera, the chairman looked in good spirits. He said clearly: "Today is January 31, 2022. I have decided to make my own will. The witnesses are Lawyer Cai and Lawyer Wang."

Lawyer Cai and an older female lawyer appeared on camera to testify that this will was true and valid.

The living room was silent. Everyone stared at the screen nervously and uneasily. Jian Jing scanned them, but no one noticed her gaze.

They were all...very in awe of the chairman.

Looking at the old man in the camera, he is already quite old, with gray hair and a weak body due to chemotherapy, but his expression is firm and his tone is tough, completely like the image of a dictator.

The chairman, yes, he is not only the leader of the group, but also the authority in the family.

"My will has two conditions: first, all my children must be present. I have six biological children, Jiang Lian, Jiang Qi, Jiang Ou, Jiang Yue, Jiang Xun, and Jiang Xue. Not one can be missing. Second, you have already reached a common agreement on my death."

The chairman's tone was very calm, and he did not avoid talking about his own affairs after his death: "In the last few days, I will tell you to change the will, but in fact, there has only been one will, and I have never intended to change it." When

these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

The blood drained away from Jiang Lian's face, and she almost stood up in shock. For a moment, she even forgot that her father had passed away, and blurted out: "What do you mean?"

As if he had anticipated his children's question, the chairman calmly revealed the answer in the video: "Even brothers can become enemies for money, not to mention that the six of you do not have the same mother. After I die, it will be impossible for you to work together to manage the affairs of the group, and this is what I least want to see."

"Unfortunately, as a father, I can't be too partial to one and the other, especially since Jiang Xun and Jiang Yue are not with me all year round, and I have hardly fulfilled my responsibilities as a father." His tone was gentle, revealing a rare warmth.

However, the next moment, the illusion was shattered, and the curve of his mouth was flat again, full of pressure: "So, I have to use this method to solve all problems."

At this point, the chairman paused slightly, as if he was gathering strength, and outside the video, the air was already tense and stagnant.

Even Jian Jing, an outsider, couldn't help but breathe lightly.

The chairman said: "I know that once I say I want to change the will, someone will definitely try to stop me, and the easiest way is to make me shut up."

Even though they were mentally prepared, the people present still couldn't hide their shock when they heard the deceased admit it in person.

"Who took action?" A sneer appeared on the chairman's lips, "I don't care. Since you have reached a consensus, then Lawyer Cai can announce the contents of the will."

"Okay." Lawyer Cai appeared in the camera, took out a signed document, and began to read, "The contents of Mr. Jiang Guangze's will are as follows:

"If the person concerned dies of natural causes, the estate will be distributed as follows: the real estate will be divided equally among the children and spouse Ms. Yin Meng at market prices; the shares of Jiangshui Group and its subsidiaries will be divided equally among the six children; the water company will be divided equally among Jiang Xun, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Xue, the communications company will belong to Jiang Qi, the energy company will be divided equally between Jiang Lian and Jiang Ou, and the remaining movables and jewelry will be given to Ms. Yin Meng. "

Mrs. Jiang sneered sarcastically.

Everything was as she expected. The chairman's real inheritance would definitely be given to the children, and she, as his spouse, could only get some expensive things with no future.

But this was not the final result.

Lawyer Cai in the video turned over another page, and Lawyer Cai outside the video kept his mouth tightly shut, trying not to reveal any emotion.

"If the person concerned died of unnatural causes, among the consensus of the heirs, someone or some people who murdered the person concerned will lose the right of inheritance except for real estate, and other inheritance will be distributed in the above manner. "

Lawyer Cai paused the video and explained, "Let me give you an example. If someone loses the right of inheritance, then the shares of Jiangshui Group will be divided equally among the remaining five people, and the same goes for other shares."

Everyone was stunned, and then quickly exchanged glances.

Jiang Baiyan received the most attention, but he himself did not show any joy, but seemed thoughtful.

At this time, the chairman in the video spoke again: "I think at this time, maybe someone will go back on their words. You can choose another way to verify the truth. I will install cameras in the room and upload the monitoring content in real time. But-"

He said meaningfully: "After checking the surveillance, if the person identified is the murderer, he will lose the right of inheritance. If not, then he will get all the inheritance. "

Without waiting for everyone to react, he added: "But inspection and monitoring must obtain the consent of everyone. "

Jane Jing didn't understand at first, thinking what kind of contradictory condition this was, but after thinking about it again, it suddenly dawned on her.

She understood.

The chairman probably didn't expect that she would restore the case so completely. In his expectation, the murderer who was pushed out was most likely not the real murderer.

The process of investigation is actually a process of alliance, so it is said to "reach a consensus."

People can choose to push out a scapegoat, let him lose most of the inheritance rights, and only retain the property as a backup option for livelihood.

And in this process, other people become accomplices.

What kind of alliance is unbreakable?

People who commit crimes together.

Therefore, even children from different mothers have to "live in harmony" in order to obtain inheritance. Everyone holds each other's handles, so no one dares to really turn against each other.

As for the other method, it is a Insurance is also the most clever part of this game.

If the person who is identified as the murderer is not the real murderer, he will definitely try to turn the tables and ask to see the video. But others will never allow him to do so. Only

by having a common enemy can the alliance be maintained and the group can avoid internal strife and disintegration.

In other words, the chairman used his own death to forcibly bind his children who were not of the same mind, and to clean up the future of the company . The obstacle was cleared.

Similarly, if the identified person could turn the situation around by himself in such a situation, it would prove that he has the means to suppress others.

It is also a good result that he has handed over half his life's hard work to this person.

No matter which one, the group is protected.

Jian Jing sighed.

In fact, the chairman does not care about the truth, who will kill him, and whether he can be punished.

In fact, the only thing he really cares about is Jiangshui Group.

This is his biological child.

But the current situation seems to have exceeded his expectations - the chairman does not care about the truth, but the truth has already surfaced.

Jiang Lian asked: "Lawyer Cai, who is responsible for this situation now?"

Lawyer Cai was also embarrassed and said: "According to the inference just now, Miss Jiang Lian and Mrs. Jiang may have caused the death of the chairman. Mr. Jiang Ou, Miss Jiang Xue, Miss Jiang Yue and Mr. Jiang Qi should have rescued them, and they could have rescued them, but they did not rescue them. This is a crime of omission and they should also bear part of the responsibility."

After a pause, he said, "Miss Jiang Xue is not an adult, so the situation is different."

"After talking for so long, only one person is the most innocent?" Jiang Yu said coldly, "Why don't we watch the surveillance, I want to see if he really did nothing."

Jiang Baiyan complained: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Jiang Qi said: "Did father leave any other words?"

Lawyer Cai said: "After the will is confirmed, the chairman will also leave a letter to the heirs separately."

Jiang Yue had been silent, and now he said: "So how will it be distributed, Lawyer Cai, give me a definite answer."

Lawyer Cai took a deep breath: "Unless it can be determined that the chairman's death was caused by a certain person, for example, the chairman was already dead before Miss Jiang Yue arrived, she can be exempted from responsibility, otherwise, she should be regarded as an accomplice."

Jiang Yue opened her mouth and almost wanted to say that the person was already dead.

But Mrs. Jiang immediately said: "When I went there, he was still alive."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but look at her, her eyes full of regret - if they could be given a little time, the two of them just needed to collude in their statements, and things would be simple.

As if she saw through her thoughts, Mrs. Jiang sneered: "Do you think I will help you hide it? Why, you framed my daughter! Besides," she looked at Jiang Qi and raised her chin, "and him."

A trace of haze flashed across Jiang Qi's face.

At this moment, he was not sure whether he would expose them. If they could reach an agreement, he could clear himself.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

He did not understand his father's intention. From the beginning to the end, the truth was not important. What was important was how much ability they could exert in this test question.

The amount of inheritance is actually decided by themselves.

Father is still father, and chairman is still that chairman.

He sighed softly, shook his head, and asked: "Jiang Xun, did you really not do anything?"

"Second brother, do you think it's strange that I disappeared in this matter?" Jiang Baiyan asked in surprise.

Jiang Qi said lightly: "Isn't it."

Jiang Baiyan curled his eyebrows and smiled as well as when he was a child, well-behaved and sweet. But his tone is no longer like that of a poor puppy.

"It's not strange at all. I'm the invisible man in the family." He asked, "You can never see me. Now, why can you see me again?"

Jiang Qi was silent.

"Because of money, right? You don't want to see me, but you can only see me." Jiang Baiyan smiled again. He always thought that this second brother was above worldly matters, but who knew that in the end, they were all just ordinary people.

So what if he was a bastard born by a mistress? When it comes to money, it's not that we can't talk about brotherhood.

How ironic, money can buy love.

"Xiao Xun." Jiang Lian slowed down her tone and played the family card, "No one will recognize this result. You have never been in the group for a day. People in the company don't even know who you are. You get nothing."

"Sister, I just starred in a super popular movie, how come no one knows who I am?" He asked back aggrievedly, as if he didn't understand at all.

Jiang Lian held back her anger: "You know I didn't mean that. I meant the company..."

"Stop talking." Jiang Yu interrupted her sister and sneered, "Let him take it. I'll see how much he can take."

Jiang Xue couldn't help but look at her mother. Mrs. Jiang watched the show expressionlessly.

Lawyer Cai rubbed his forehead and said with difficulty: "Here is a document. If you agree, please sign it here - of course, if you don't sign it, it will not affect the validity of the will."

The three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family did not move, protesting with action.

"Lawyer Cai." Mrs. Jiang spoke, "It's already late today. Can we talk about it tomorrow, so that everyone can digest it and think about it. What do you think?"

Lawyer Cai quickly agreed: "Of course, no problem, then I will come again tomorrow morning... uh, one o'clock in the afternoon."

No one tried to stop them.

"You guys take your time to discuss it. I'm going to sleep." Jian Jing was also tired of eating melons. She yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

None of the Jiang family members moved.

They all knew that it was time to trade next.
