"Talking so much, aren't you afraid of choking on your own saliva?"
The woman's voice was like the frost of winter, cold and piercing, devoid of any warmth.
Zhu Lan's sudden departure upset her.
She slowly pushed the door open and went in, and Jiang Zhixing felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Jiang Zhiyi today seemed different from her usual angry and helpless self. Jiang Zhixing swallowed nervously, stubbornly insisting, "It's just a little money to pay. Anyway, my allowance isn't enough to cover it. If you're so capable, take me to Grandpa's place!"
"I want to see if he can still save face if all the wealthy families in Beijing find out about his favoritism."
"Did you kill Yuan Shu?"
She was too lazy to waste words with an idiot and went straight to the point.
The people on the other end were startled. "Jiang Zhiyi, are you crazy?!"
"If I cause damage, just say I cause damage. Why are you trying to pin the charge of murder on me?"
"You want me to take the blame for you? You're too cunning! I'm your own brother!"
"hehe--"
"You know you're my own brother, and aren't you the one who's been trying to sabotage my business?"
She sneered.
"I just wanted to create panic, to make your business partners think that you are unreliable. It didn't cause any real harm. At most... you'll have to pay some compensation for me."
"But you, on the contrary, just put such a huge accusation on my head. Wait, Yuan Shu, isn't this—"
"This is my business partner this time. How about that? You didn't expect that, did you? He's dead."
Jiang Zhiyi spoke softly, then fell silent and sat down opposite him.
Jiang Zhixing's pupils dilated in shock. He looked at Jiang Zhiyi's tired eyes and knew she wasn't lying!
"Depend on!"
"Which bastard did this and dares to pin it on me?"
"What do I not know? I'm telling you, I didn't kill him..."
Glancing at his boisterous manner, Jiang Zhiyi knew she wouldn't get anything out of him.
"He didn't kill the person!"
She walked out without saying a word, then suddenly said something to her secretary.
"President Jiang, what should we do then—"
Before he could finish asking the question, he was quickly interrupted.
"Although he didn't kill the person, he was the one who smashed the cruise ship, so he needs to be taught a lesson. You can decide what to do yourself."
"Just don't get crippled!"
"yes!"
The secretary's entire face was hidden in darkness.
There are countless ways to make life worse than death without causing serious harm, and he excels at these!
If this second-generation rich kid of the Jiang family really thinks the boss is an innocent girl, he's sorely mistaken!
…………
Jiang Zhiyi sat on the leather sofa, her phone ringing incessantly.
Frustrated, she was about to hang up again when she saw the caller ID and reluctantly answered.
"grandfather......."
"Yes, we've made some progress, but we haven't found the person who killed Yuan Shu yet."
"Find that person as soon as possible. The Yuan Group is in an uproar; they're practically surrounding the Jiang family!"
"Zhiyi, I've poured the most effort into you since you were little, and now things have turned out like this. I'm very disappointed!"
"If this unexpected situation is not handled properly, the entire Jiang Group will be affected. You'd better figure it out yourself."
Grandpa Jiang spoke as if he were chatting with a subordinate.
"knew."
She replied wearily.
From the moment I returned to my room, the phone rang incessantly from the Yuan Group, the company, and other business friends!
There is cell phone signal in this room, so no matter what happens, the power and internet will not be interrupted.
Jiang Zhiyi wished that this most indestructible room on the entire island would lose all signal!
Oh shit!
Originally, I wanted to keep Lanlan and steal a little more time, but now the time I finally managed to squeeze out has been taken up by Yuan Shu's death.
She's completely clueless now, flitting around like a headless fly!
Yuan Shu's wife, Zheng Jie, has already received the news; she heard that she fainted from crying in her suite.
I didn't want to go and disturb them without permission.
The secretary's background checks on the island guests were all sent to her. She flipped through everyone's information page by page, and almost everyone knew Yuan Shu.
But there are no conflicts of interest!
The whole thing was shrouded in a fog, with no clues whatsoever.
…………
Zhu Lan remained silent in her room for half a day, but when asked, she wouldn't say anything.
Yan Miao was very worried, and that evening, she insisted on dragging her out of the room to the restaurant to find food.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was drawn to a little girl in a yellow floral dress in the corner.
She sat alone by the window.
It was completely dark outside. She sat on a cute children's sofa, swinging her legs, with a cup burning with blue flames in front of her!
The blue flames looked eerily strange against the backdrop of the night.
It occasionally flashes with a golden light.
In less than two minutes, the blue flame in the cup was completely extinguished!
"well........"
The girl seemed a little disappointed, and sighed while resting her chin on her hand.
"Little friend, why are you here all alone?"
Yan Miao stepped forward to inquire.
Whose child is this that has gone missing?
They must be incredibly careless. Logically speaking, someone just died on the island, and normal parents would be afraid of their children traveling alone.
The little girl looked to be only seven or eight years old, and she was sitting here all by herself.
The little girl turned her head, her eyes full of clear, innocent eyes, "Sister!"
She called out in a childish voice, then looked at Zhu Lan behind her and called her "sister" as well.
Zhu Lan smiled kindly and took out two milk candies from her pocket and handed them to her.
"Thank you, sister!"
The girl took it, but didn't open the package; she knew the girl was being wary.
He wanted to get closer to her, so he asked, "Your blue flames were so beautiful, who made them for you?"
"It was Mom. She wanted to cheer me up, so she made me blue fireworks!"
"Blue Fireworks? What a lovely name. This experiment is so full of love. Where's your mother? Why did she leave you here alone?"
"Mom went to get me the cake. I know she did it because she didn't want me to be sad. Otherwise, she usually wouldn't let me eat cake, saying it would cause cavities..."
The little girl spoke slowly, sniffing occasionally.
Yan Miao noticed with her sharp eyes that her eyes had suddenly turned red, and crystal-clear tears were welling up in them.
In less than two seconds, it rolled down her fair cheek, making her look pitiful.
"Don't cry, don't cry, everything will pass!"
"What happened that made you so sad?"
"Waaaaah, my dad's gone! My dad's dead!"
The girl suddenly lost control of her emotions and burst into tears.
Their hearts skipped a beat at the same time—
She is Yuan Shu's daughter!
