Chapter 191 Continuing to Resolve Sang Sang's Predicament
The cabin was completely silent.
Xu Chi suddenly froze.
He remembered that he only admitted to Tu Yao that he was not Xu Chi.
He never found a suitable opportunity to reveal his specific identity.
No matter how long ago the historical issues have been left unresolved, if they are not addressed in advance, they will eventually face a situation where they urgently need to be resolved.
This applies to business, and it also applies to life.
Xu Chi has always understood and maintained a positive attitude of facing things with equanimity.
However, when facing Tu Xiaomao, he somewhat lost his instinct for strategic planning.
For a few silent seconds, he was stared at by those bright yet confused eyes.
"...Yes." He lowered his voice unconsciously. "I am Xu Bai's uncle."
Tu Yao's expression became even stranger.
"...The richest man in Hong Kong?"
Xu Chi nodded almost inaudibly: "...Yes."
Tu Yao fell silent.
Turning my head, I looked out the window with a somewhat blank expression.
The plane has taken off and entered a stable flight state, with a vast Milky Way visible outside the window.
Xu Bai knew he had caused trouble, so he huddled in his seat and didn't move.
The next second, he silently took out his phone and frantically tapped the screen.
[Oh no, my uncle hasn't told my older sister his true identity yet! They're practically at the doorstep and she still doesn't know. Will they break off their friendship?]
My uncle not only can't find a girlfriend, but now he can't even find friends.
Cheng Sangsang: ...
[You stinky Xu Bai, if you shut up, your uncle won't even need to burn incense in March to find a girlfriend.]
But if you ask again, even three years won't help!
And you're finished too!
The two men's actions were clearly visible to him, but Xu Chi was obviously not in the mood to pay attention at the moment.
He gazed at the expressionless face reflected in the window, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he said softly, "Tu Xiaomao, are you angry?"
Tu Yao was taken aback, then nodded hesitantly.
Xu Chi was speechless.
Tu Yao seemed to sense his surprise, pursed her lips, and calmly explained:
"...Xiao Chi, when I first found out you weren't Xu Chi, I thought that since I was also hiding some things from you, you could also hide some things from me."
"But Koike, I gradually came to understand that the nature of things is different."
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose, but you did it on purpose."
Tu Yao spoke slowly, but her words hit the nail on the head.
Xu Chi remained speechless.
Indeed, he did it on purpose.
Or rather, he subconsciously harbored a sliver of wishful thinking, knowing he had already deceived her once by using Xu Chi's identity.
On this second level, he hoped that Tu Yao would be smart enough to discover his identity on her own initiative, and then turn a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing, and let it pass by lightly.
He always knew it was wrong, but his inherent flaws made him crave every bit of Tu Yao's leniency.
Tu Yao concluded earnestly: "So, Xiao Chi, actually, I am a little angry right now."
"That's reasonable."
"You can understand that, right?"
Xu Chi watched her silently the whole time.
...Even when Tu Xiaomao is angry, he will calmly and patiently explain the reasons for his anger to him in an objective manner.
He tried to suppress the bitterness in his throat and curved the corners of his lips into a smile.
"...Yes, you're right. You can get angry, and you can even argue with me."
Tu Yao shook her head.
"I've only ever fought with Big Fatty and unilaterally confronted Teacher Ma. I don't know how to argue with a friend."
The astringency grew stronger and stronger.
Xu Chi asked softly, "...So what do you think we should do now?"
"Can I get your understanding? What do you need me to do?"
"Or, what do you want to do now?"
Tu Yao remained silent for a moment, then turned her head away.
"...Can I not say anything for now?"
The silence lasted for half an hour.
The plane landed at the closest point to the Cheng family's old house. The cabin door opened, and Tu Yao walked forward with her head down.
She stopped halfway through the journey.
Goodbye, Koike.
Even when Tu Xiaomao is angry with her friends, she will still obediently say goodbye.
Xu Chi: "...Goodbye."
Only after Tu Yao disappeared into the night and was completely out of sight did Xu Chi slowly turn around.
She glanced indifferently at Xu Bai, who was standing there dumbfounded.
"...Uncle, I'm so sorry."
Xu Bai was prepared to receive a severe scolding.
But the next second, "It's not your problem."
Xu Bai suddenly looked up.
Xu Chi withdrew his gaze and walked straight ahead.
A solitary, slender figure slowly stepped onto the plane.
Xu Bai almost burst into tears in an instant.
He deserves to die!
His uncle has been recuperating abroad alone since he was a child due to health reasons, recuperating in remote mountains and forests, and traveling around to seek medical treatment.
I finally made a friend, but he betrayed me right in front of me.
And surprisingly, his uncle didn't scold him!
No matter what, it's all his fault!
Xu Bai wiped his eyes, feeling both touched and guilty.
Halfway through wiping, suddenly, a roaring sound reached my ears!
Xu Bai subconsciously looked up and saw that the huge plane had already taken off halfway.
Oh... it's an airplane...
Wait... it's an airplane!
"Holy crap! Uncle! Uncle! I'm still on the ground!"
Xu Bai waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle! Uncle, have you forgotten about me!"
...
Stepping into the old house, one is greeted by bright lights.
Cheng Sangsang glanced at Tu Yao's expression, which seemed no different from usual.
She asked casually, "Tu Xiaomao, do you remember this place?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "I don't remember."
His tone sounded the same as usual.
"Oh, oh..." Cheng Sangsang waved her hand, "It's better if you don't remember."
"Oh, right, Tu Xiaomao, my uncle went abroad to attend a conference, and my older brothers and sisters are all busy too. There are only the servants and us at home, so don't be afraid in a little while."
"knew."
"That's good, that's good."
"Oh, right..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tu Yao stopped and said helplessly, "Sang Sang, don't worry, I'm not angry with you."
...In fact, she wasn't angry with Koike.
Cheng Sangsang was taken aback. "Then why are you angry?"
Tu Yao pursed her lips and paused for a few seconds.
"Is there any progress on that batch of materials?"
Cheng Sangsang: ...
The topic shifted quite obviously, but Cheng Sangsang was perceptive.
The two went to Cheng Sangsang's room.
"Last time, your housekeeper helped me find out the transportation contract, and the source of the transportation was identified from the contract."
Tu Yao recalled for a moment, "Uncle Liqing said that this was a shell company, which has now been deregistered, and he also gave you a copy of the company owner's investigation materials."
Cheng Sangsang helplessly shrugged: "But you can probably guess, that person ran away."
"Before the deregistration, the boss destroyed all the dozens of tons of materials in the inventory. The investigation team said the warehouse was empty."
"However, the team said that his whereabouts were confirmed just yesterday."
Tu Yao looked up in surprise: "You found him?"
"Yes, it's in a remote mountainous area in the north of the interior. We've already sent people there to search for it."
Generally speaking, as long as we find him and figure out the connection between him and Bai Chumeng, we can clear her name.
"However, this back-and-forth will take three days, and we need to interrogate the person before the official announcement, so time is a bit tight."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Yao's eyelids twitched slightly, and she looked at her quietly.
"north?"
After Cheng Sangsang finished speaking, she belatedly frowned.
“…Tu Xiaomao, do you think things are going too smoothly, or even too coincidentally?”
"Yeah……"
