Chapter 59 Chapter 59 (Revised) The Third Brother is the One Who Really Loves Her...
As soon as Weibo was restored, Bai Qingqing's name was on a string of hot searches, and was listed together with the faceless female corpse dumping case that shocked the nation 19 years ago.
Bai Shuting sat in the office. It was pitch black outside the window. The clear glass curtain wall blended into the night, blurring the boundary between the inside and outside of the building.
Notification messages on the phone kept lighting up, and not a single sound was heard in the silent mode. Bai Shuting closed the computer and pinched his wrinkled brows.
He had just finished a multinational conference.
QET's position is unyielding, and their control over the overseas market is almost seamless. Even if they have a breakthrough in core technology, it is still difficult to shake at this stage...
Bai Shuting picked up the phone. There was a knock on the office door. He said "hmm" without even looking up. He glanced at his secretary walking quickly towards him and looked at the messages popping up on his phone.
The Weibo post he sent during the day disappeared?
Secretary: "Chairman, Mr. Lu from Dawen Electronics is waiting for you outside."
"Still outside?" Bai Shuting frowned.
"Yes, I told him you were in a long meeting, and Mr. Lu said he still wanted to wait for you."
"It was made very clear at the meeting today that their radio frequency modules have not met the standards for more than once or twice. The Bai family cannot continue to tolerate this indefinitely. If Lu Da is not clear about the content of the meeting today, let him go back and ask himself."
Bai Shuting had been in a meeting for the whole afternoon and his head was aching. He suddenly stood up, staring at his phone, and pursed his lips. His 1.9-meter stature cast a long shadow on the desk, making his already dark face look even more terrifying.
The secretary has been following Chairman Bai for so many years and knows that although he looks scary, he actually has a nice temper.
Seeing that Mr. Lu from Dawen Electronics could make him so angry, he immediately stood at attention and said, "I told him to leave now!"
Bai Shuting crossed the desk, holding the phone, and walked out with his long legs: "Let's get off work. I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Chairman..." the secretary chased after him.
Bai Shuting glanced through the glass of the lounge with his eagle eyes at Lu Da who turned his head to look outside, then walked away with big strides, turning off the screen of his mobile phone with his hand hanging by his side.
He should have finished the meeting quickly in the evening.
Bai Shuting hadn't checked his phone for just a few hours, and he never expected to see his daughter's name on the trending search.
The most searched topic is fortune telling at Bai Qingqing’s cemetery.
The second most searched topic was the case of the dumping of a faceless female corpse.
Putting these two terms together, even if they are unrelated, is enough to make any father worry about his children.
Bai Shuting couldn't stay in the company for a moment and quickly got in the car to go home.
Qingqing's live broadcast at the cemetery has ended, and no relevant footage has been released online. Bai Shuting wanted to search for the situation but could find no information.
He had no choice but to say to the driver: "Drive faster."
*
The police paid attention to the live broadcast room. Bai Qingqing, who used the magic talismans to travel back and forth every day, chose to go home under the surveillance cameras.
The Bai family’s main building was brightly lit in the middle of the night.
Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi were in the living room when they received a message from the Bai family's security guard saying that Miss Qingqing had returned. They both got up and went outside to pick up the child.
The taxi drove away from the other side of the flower bed.
Ao Xinyi took Bai Qingqing's hand and couldn't wait to take her home: "Qingqing, why are you alone in the cemetery so late at night? You don't even let anyone accompany you. You make me so worried."
"Mom was watching the live broadcast. You suddenly disappeared in the middle of the broadcast. I couldn't get through to you on the phone. What happened? Did you have any accident?"
Bai Shuting didn't say anything. His tall figure stood beside them with his eyelids drooped. He looked at his daughter carefully from head to toe, then followed the mother and daughter into the house.
When Bai Qingqing entered the house, she glanced at the small balcony on the second floor, then retracted her gaze calmly: "It's okay. I was on the phone with the police for a while. He asked me about the tomb owner's situation, so I chatted with him for a while."
"The police called you? It was on the trending search..." Ao Xinyi was stunned. The words "Faceless Female Corpse Dumping Case" were too brutal for her to say in the middle of the night.
She had no choice but to pause and skip this topic for the time being. She quickly thought, "The live broadcast room is also closed by the police?"
Bai Qingqing nodded.
Although his daughter didn't say anything else, Ao Xinyi was relieved: "Fortunately, you sent me a message later, otherwise I would have gone to Xiaolan Mountain to find you!"
"Your program is really something. Once it's on, it stays on for 48 hours, and after it's over, people have to broadcast it live again..."
"Qingqing, are you hungry? Mom saw that you had some takeout in the evening, so Sister Qiao made some food, which is still warming up in the pot. Do you want to have some?"
Sister Qiao smiled and stepped forward to answer, "The dishes prepared tonight are all light, steamed grouper, black chicken slices stewed with yam, roasted beef ribs, roasted eel, and a quail egg stuffed with mushrooms. The soup is pigeon soup stewed with cordyceps flowers. The ingredients are all warming in nature and cooked according to Miss's taste. Would you like to try it?"
The dietary supplement prescription for Bai Qingqing was jointly decided by Sister Qiao and the doctor.
Sister Qiao named the dishes with a smile and continued her project of fattening up Miss Qingqing.
Ao Xinyi nodded: "Eat a little?"
Bai Shuting sat down at the dining table alone and silently at some point.
Bai Qingqing glanced at everyone in the living room, then sat down at her seat and pulled out the chair next to her: "Okay, thank you Aunt Qiao."
"Hey!" The people in the kitchen had already prepared everything. Sister Qiao responded and waved towards the kitchen, asking someone to bring all the food up.
Ao Xinyi sat down next to her husband, and the couple decided to eat a little more with their daughter.
The steaming hot meals were served one after another. Ao Xinyi personally served his daughter a bowl of hot soup. He was very pleased to see that his daughter's thin face had gained some flesh in the past few days.
She will take good care of her daughter from now on.
She wanted to make up for all the suffering that Qingqing had endured in the Li family in the past.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself." Bai Qingqing took the soup handed to her by Ao Xinyi with a smile. Seeing that she looked like she wanted to say something, she glanced at her side and waited for her to speak.
After Ao Xinyi sat down again, he said, "Qingqing, the case that is trending right now, is it... the story of the tomb owner you calculated? Mom heard that the murderer of that case has not been caught yet. It's too risky for you to bring it up online."
Bai Shuting also put down his chopsticks and looked at his daughter's face, not missing a single detail of her expression.
Ao Xinyi was worried.
Regardless of whether what the daughter said during the live broadcast was true or false, it still made everyone focus on the case that happened twenty years ago.
It would be fine if the murderer was caught, but if not, who knows if he would come to take revenge on her daughter?
Even though the Bai family is wealthy and powerful, they cannot have someone keep an eye on their daughter 24 hours a day and stay with her all her life.
"I've talked to the police on the phone. We're going to arrest him tonight." Bai Qingqing glanced to the side and took a sip of the hot soup in her hand.
Ao Xinyi: "Can we catch him tonight?"
Bai Shuting's brows relaxed for a moment, but soon he followed the direction his daughter had just looked in confusion and looked at the empty chair next to her.
She had just opened the door when she sat down. He thought Qingqing was going to sit down, but she pulled out another chair and sat down at the seat next to her.
"Yes, it should be on the news tomorrow. If you are worried, just wait and see tomorrow." Bai Qingqing said.
"We'll catch him tonight."
Ao Xinyi felt much more relieved knowing that he had a daughter.
The last sentence she added was like a rock, making people feel more at ease.
My daughter's metaphysical ability has been verified by Xiaowu, and she now believes in it very much. If Qingqing says that she can catch it, then she can definitely catch it.
I immediately put my heart at ease and had dinner with my daughter peacefully.
Ao Xinyi moved his chopsticks twice and then touched his arm. "Ms. Xu, please close the window and get me a coat."
The wind started to blow in the evening.
It made a humming sound as it passed through the window.
Bai Qingqing knocked on the table casually, and as several servants closed the windows, the whistling wind stopped immediately.
Her cell phone on the table lit up with a message.
The faceless girl, who was emitting dark energy all over her body, opened her pitch-black mouth and whimpered silently. I pushed her arm to remind her to check her phone quickly.
Officer Duan said that he would send her back any news he had and might ask for her help if necessary.
When Bai Qingqing heard what the other party said, she knew that they should be in Xinting and found out that there was indeed a person named Zou Wenhan.
But now it’s the sleep reminder that pops up on your phone.
Bai Qingqing placed her phone upside down on the table and flicked her little finger at Zhang An, causing her to immediately withdraw her hands and feet and shut her mouth.
She raised her eyes and said calmly to Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting who were looking at her suspiciously, "It's okay, let's eat."
My daughter suddenly turned her phone upside down and looked like something was wrong.
Ao Xinyi still had the basic skills of an actor. He was sensitive to people's expressions and observed them in detail. After thinking for a while, he said, "Qingqing, if you have any questions, you must talk to your parents. Mom and Dad will help you."
"Nothing."
As they were talking, there was a noise in the corridor of the deputy hall. Bai Siqi came out carrying a large bottle of varnish, and it seemed that he had just come out of the underground warehouse.
Seeing them eating at the table, he took the initiative to step forward and greet Bai Qingqing: "Little sister, you're back."
"Yeah." Bai Qingqing nodded to him, feeling a little uncomfortable with his address.
This is what Bai Siqi suddenly changed his words to her one day, even though they were not familiar with each other at all.
She had less contact with this gentle and considerate third brother than with that fool Bai Songxu, but this did not prevent her third brother from appearing intimate and caring to the outside world.
Sister Qiao asked the Third Young Master if he wanted to join in the fun. He said no, but he didn't leave. He sat down at a distance from Bai Qingqing, not too far from them, and seemed ready to stay here to eat and chat with them.
Sister Qiao made a pot of calming tea for Bai Siqi.
Ao Xinyi was very happy that he joined. He looked at him and Qingqing with satisfaction and immediately started chatting with his son.
A light laugh came from the living room.
The atmosphere at the table has become relaxed and pleasant.
…
Second floor corridor.
A figure in a white dress was leaning against the wall of the corridor, tears rolling down the girl's cheeks, hidden by her long hair hanging down her face.
Bai Muning lowered his head deeply, hiding in the darkness. He could not forget the expression on his third brother's face when he looked at Bai Qingqing and smiled.
Such a gentle smile, which was only directed at her before.
The third brother has a gentle personality and is nice to everyone, but compared to the other boys in the family, he is more gentle, patient and considerate to his youngest sister.
The third brother treats her differently.
But he actually took the initiative to sit with Bai Qingqing and smiled at her like that.
Is it just because Bai Qingqing is his biological sister? Whoever is his sister, he will smile at them like this?
Bai Muning's eyes turned bloodshot from holding his breath.
She happened to see her parents going out that night, and curiously followed them to the balcony to take a look. Unexpectedly, she saw them welcoming Bai Qingqing out of the car, one on each side, and her mother asking her about her well-being.
When she saw this scene, she felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't help hiding in the darkness like a masochist, listening to them talking as they walked into the house and sat down at the dining table.
She was ready to go back.
But she didn't expect that the third brother would suddenly appear and stab her in the heart.
As the situation developed to this point, Bai Muning had a feeling that it was out of her control. When Bai Qingqing just returned to the Bai family, she felt that things should not develop in this way, and there would be a better way to develop, and her life must still be perfect.
But now the feeling of being out of her control made her increasingly uneasy.
Bai Muning didn't want to look at it anymore. His head was dizzy and he didn't want to think about what was wrong or what went wrong. He exhaled deeply, wiped the tears from his face, and walked back to the room without looking back.
…
The first episode of "Heart Signal" will be broadcast tomorrow.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the first trailer of the episode was released.
In the short trailer of just over ten minutes, director Wu Weiran holds a cue card and reads the rules of the game to the guests in front of a dim forest.
Yellow cursive words with sound effects were slapped onto the screen.
The camera gives everyone a close-up.
Bu Yufu had just finished her daily evening classes and finally had time to look for the preview and call Bai Muning before going to bed.
The sound of the video could be faintly heard over the phone.
"Your show is quite interesting. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to try it. How does it feel? Is it exciting?"
Bai Mu Ning received her call just after returning to the room. His voice and emotions calmed down:
"It's OK. This is my first time participating in a program like this. It feels good to have a new experience. You are the descendant of the Bu family, so you are more than qualified to participate in this program. I heard from the production team that the guest configuration will be adjusted. I can ask the director for you."
Bu Yufu was chatting with her little sister while swinging her feet. She didn't notice anything wrong with her. She said cheerfully, "I just said it casually. Forget it. Imagine staying there for 48 hours to tell fortunes. What's the difference between that and doing homework every day..."
Bai Mu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to come, tell me and I'll help you get in touch."
"Our Ningning is so nice!"
The video screen cuts to the next scene. In the show, Bai Qingqing is holding the door with one hand, and Bai Songxu, who is separated by a wall, shouts to open the door. A fierce quarrel breaks out with the terrifying BGM playing.
The smile on Bu Yufu's face faded, and she sighed for her little sister: "How is your family doing recently? Is everything okay?"
Everyone could understand why Bai Qingqing, who had just returned to the Bai family, followed Mu Ning into the entertainment industry. However, no one expected that after she joined a metaphysics variety show, the development of things began to exceed everyone's expectations.
She actually became a master of metaphysics and was on the hot search list again and again?
She was on the hot search again today because of something. It was said that she was fortune-telling in a cemetery. Bu Yufu was talking on the phone with Bai Muning. I didn’t have time to see it, but I heard from netizens that her live broadcast room was cut off by the network administrator.
I don't know what exactly was violated.
Bu Yufu didn't take Bai Qingqing's fortune-telling seriously. It was just a bluff after all.
Bai Qingqing claimed to be a master of metaphysics and asked her uncle Mu Ning to be her agent to help everyone make appointments. But as of today, has Bai Qingqing really helped anyone solve their problems?
None.
No one even saw her face.
Bai Muning knew that Bu Yufu was referring to Bai Qingqing. Thinking of the scene that night, his heart ached. "Fortunately, there have been some changes at home. I'm not used to it, but fortunately my parents and brother protect me. Now... I'm gradually accepting it."
Bu Yufu could tell something was wrong with her best sister's voice, bit her lip, and said hesitantly, "You said last time...you and the Li family in the countryside of Bai Qingqing had a test done, and they are not your biological parents."
"Ningning, if you don't mind, would you like me to calculate for you where your parents are?"
"Of course! If you don't want to, just pretend I never said that!" Bu Yufu had been holding these words in his heart for a long time and finally said them out loud.
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Bu Yufu was getting anxious waiting and added, "Ningning, I just want to make you happy. Don't get me wrong."
"I know you're doing this for my own good, but I...I can't bear to leave my parents and my brothers. After all, this is my home for nearly twenty years."
She was also curious about who her biological parents were.
But if we really find them, then all our lives will change drastically...
*
The next morning, Bai Qingqing and Zhang An appeared at the Xiaolanshan Cemetery, in front of the tombstone with the return plan number 2006-HZ-023.
The police decided to open the coffin and conduct a second autopsy on 023.
Twenty years ago, the police task force spent more than three months failing to catch the perpetrator after the crime occurred. Now, twenty years later, Zou Wenhan, who was asked by the police to return to the police station for investigation overnight, also refused to plead guilty.
The murderer that Bai Qingqing mentioned took the victim's cell phone, so naturally it was never found.
Zou Wenhan's height, appearance, walking style and footprint analysis were exactly the same as the police's analysis back then, but there was a lack of key evidence and no motive.
If it was really Zou Wenhan who killed someone, and it was a crime of passion that the murderer randomly picked someone on the street, then why would he dig up the victim who had already been buried once, disfigure the victim's face, and then throw the body in public, where it was discovered?
There is a logical conflict between the previous and the next.
Whether it is the motive for the crime or the act of dumping the body for the second time, there are strong contradictions and conflicts before and after.
Unless the murderer who killed the victim and the criminal who mutilated the face and dumped the body were not the same person.
Today, society is once again paying attention to this unsolved case that once caused a lot of controversy.
In any case, a second autopsy is imperative this time.
The police hope to use today’s technology to discover some clues that were not discovered back then, and provide some new directions and ideas for solving the case.
They invited Bai Qingqing to the scene because she really said something right, which has been verified by facts.
Twenty years ago, a student from Cannes Media College Class of 2005 named Zhang An was indeed reported missing, and the reporter was her adoptive parents.
Adoptive mother Zhang Pingping, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and pancreatic cancer, died five days ago in Anjiang Jingci Nursing Home.
Although Zhang An's adoptive mother has Alzheimer's disease, she still keeps Zhang An's belongings with her. If it can be confirmed today that the Zhang An who disappeared in Cannes 20 years ago was this 023, then the case will make a breakthrough.
The clues provided by Bai Qingqing during the live broadcast will have more room for credibility.
The police, the forensic task force and the person in charge of the Xiaolanshan Cemetery arrived and began to open the coffin.
Bai Qingqing, as a commoner, was waiting at the farthest place.
She held a black umbrella and asked the faceless female ghost beside her, who was emitting a black evil spirit, "Besides the few things I calculated, you still don't remember more complete information?"
The dark head shook in the rolling fog, making an "ah" sound.
Bai Qingqing sighed, "I know, I know. Stop talking. I don't have any extra energy to feed you right now. If you want to hold on until you see your adoptive mother in two days, just be good."
She began to cry in the midst of the black mist-like murderous aura, but her agitated movements calmed down, and she stood beside Bai Qingqing with an extremely well-behaved look.
