"I am the key to whether she can meet the family's conditions?" I wanted to laugh, because I couldn't imagine that I could have even the slightest connection with Miss San's family, but I couldn't laugh because Lin Zhi was serious and solemn. His expression was also mixed with confusion and confusion.
"It's you." He said.
"why me?"
Lin Zhi grinned, "I also want to know why it's you."
"You can't tell? Or don't you know?" In fact, I know very well that he 100% doesn't know, not that he can't tell, but I just can't suppress the trace of naive expectation.
As expected, she was disappointed. Lin Zhi smiled and shook his head, "If they were willing to tell me, would Miss Dongfang still stay in your house for so long?"
This old man did not reveal any traces and put the responsibility of Dongfang's 'hostage' back on the third lady. However, these words did remind me that if there was something unspeakable, how could the two mothers be willing to let their daughters get involved? It's dangerous, what's the next step? Oris this the reason why Dongfang was able to blackmail those two extremely smart 'third ladies'?
I still couldn't help but laugh - if the two young ladies deliberately condoned Dongfang's willfulness, would they freeze her credit card and try to force her to go home voluntarily with such clumsy methods that were so simple and crude that it almost insulted their own IQs?
Dongfang was a 'hostage', Lin Zhi had no choice but to let nature take its course, and how could the two third ladies not have no choice but to 'let nature take its course'?
Lin Zhi didn't know why I laughed, and looked at me expectantly, as if he thought I had figured something out. I felt embarrassed, but pretended to be deep and smiled, without any explanation, and asked coldly: "You don't know Why do you dare to cooperate with her if she has any plans for me?"
"Pursuing the truth is my job, not my interest. Curiosity is purely an instinct, but it is not a necessity." Lin Zhi smiled a little rogue, but there was truth in his words, "From my work standpoint , I don¡¯t need to know what the third lady¡¯s plans are for you, I just need to confirm that she does have plans for you, and we have the same interests in ensuring your personal safety, that¡¯s enough.¡±
"What's the reason for your confidence? Did I save her life? Or is Dongfang a 'hostage' by my side?"
"Both," Lin Zhi said with a smile, "but I prefer to believe in Miss Xue, who grew up with your childhood sweetheart."
¡°Ziyuan?¡± I murmured with my brows twitching.
Lin Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "She helped the third lady to harm you. Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it!" I subconsciously denied it, and then suddenly realized, hey, I've been fooled by Lin Zhi - didn't you use Xiao Zi to block my mouth?
I feel sick, but I am not asking for trouble. If I continue to ask him why he believes Xiao Zi, he will most likely ask me why I believe Xiao Zi. Who is deceiving whom? It is hard to say.
After thinking for a while, I asked: "What is the relationship between Miss Third and Ziyuan?"
"friend."
"Friend?" I looked at the ripples of light tea in the cup and squeezed out a sneer from between my teeth. It wasn't that I didn't believe it, but that I didn't want to believe it. "Does the third lady really think that Zi Yuan is a friend?"
"According to what I know, there is no need for her to compromise."
"Then why did both Xiao Zi and her say that coming back to me was a deal they made with each other?"
"Because they did make a deal."
"What deal?"
"I can't say" Lin Zhi paused, and then said: "But it's not that the third lady doesn't want to say it, it's that Miss Xue doesn't want you to know for the time being, so if you insist, I can also share some of the inside information I know. Tell you."
I was disappointed: "Why doesn't she want me to know?"
Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Because she wants to wait for a suitable time and tell you personally."
I sighed with a wry smile. Third Miss said so, Lin Zhi said so, and Ziyuan also said so. It seems that this is indeed Ziyuan's own insistence.
I poured myself some tea and drank three cups of tea before saying, "Director Lin, you didn't wait in vain today, but I seem to have come here in vain, don't I?"
Lin Zhi thought for a while, lightly hit his palm with his fist, and said with a sudden realization: "It's true, what you want to know is either what I don't know or what I can't say. You don't want to know what trouble the third lady has encountered, but I went to the hospital instead." I hurriedly explained in detailXiao Chu, you don¡¯t doubt that I canceled the important meeting in the city just for this purpose, and I am waiting for you here, right? "
I laughed so hard that the corners of my mouth twitched, "What do you think?"
"It's really not the case," Lin Zhi suppressed a smile and looked a little artificially serious. He glanced at Tianyou first, and then turned his head., said to me: "I didn't wait in vain, and you didn't come in vain, because you didn't come by yourself, haha, didn't you bring Xu Xiaoyou here just to let her see and hear with her own eyes the interests between me and Miss Third?" Is it consistent? Now I can tell her frankly: If the third lady had not encountered this trouble, or if today's acting director was not me and had not arrested Xu Heng with my own hands, I would indeed be unwilling to do so. Even now, I would not do much I am willing, but compared to securing this position and getting a strong backer, it is nothing. I admit that I have selfish desires, but I must also face reality, otherwise any great ideal will be nonsense¡ª¡ª Without the support of Miss Third, even if I catch Xu Heng, I may not be able to sit on the chair under my butt, because Beitian always needs someone to pay for this turmoil."
Tianyou still seemed to understand, but it didn't matter. It was enough for Xu Heng to understand.
"The last two questions," I said: "The first one is that Miss San knew about the person 'Chun Nan' in Beitian three years and eight months ago, and she knew about me before she met Ziyuan. Then How on earth did she know about me?¡±
In fact, I just want to verify whether it is the third lady or the third lady's family who is eyeing me. But considering that Lin Zhi doesn't know why I have become the key to whether the third lady can inherit the family business, I don't have any extravagant expectations. He can answer my question.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhi wiped his brow with his thumb, as if to cover up the two involuntary beatings of his thick and straight eyebrows, because it looked like aversion to something, a kind of subconscious rejection. See me. With a strange expression on his face, he took an embarrassed sip of tea, avoided my gaze, and asked in a calm tone: "Three years and eight months ago, your sister just entered junior high school, right?"
I was startled, wondering why he suddenly brought the topic to Chu Yuan, but I still counted on my fingers and said, "That's right, first year of junior high school, not long after I entered school."
"Well," Lin Zhi sighed and said, "At that time, there was a bloody incident in the school she attended. A girl slashed another girl's face with a paper knife and forced her to kneel down. beg for mercy"
My heart trembled suddenly, and I remembered the story Lu Siqi once told me - I always thought it was a story, but now it sounds like it was really an accident.
"Is it Dongfang who hurts people?"
Lin Zhi was noncommittal and said slowly: "It is said that her motive for hurting others was because the injured girl had told people around her more than once that she planned to use the same method to hurt another girl. The reason was that she had a crush on her since childhood. The boy fell in love with the girl as soon as he entered school, and the girl who had no idea was the first friend the hurtful girl made in Beitian."
I have no doubt - that boy is Lu Siqi, and the girl he fell in love with as soon as he entered school can only be that little idiot Chu Yuan.
"Is that injured girl really just talking?" I asked in a completely protective tone - don't call me cold-blooded, but when I thought that it might be my sister who was disfigured and forced to kneel down to beg for mercy, how could I I can't be generous either. Being a good person is what others judge me to be. I have never flaunted myself in this way.
"Whether she is just talking or really has a plan to hurt people, the little girl's method of stopping her is hard to escape from the word 'ruthless'," Lin Zhisurong asked: "Xiao Chu, if that girl had What you tell people is not to scratch your sister's face and force her to kneel down to make her embarrassed, but to kill her Do you think she will die for this?"
I shuddered to think that this seemingly ridiculous question was actually very realistic and serious.
"Dongfang was still young at the time" I tried to excuse Dongfang, but my excuse was so pale. Lu Siqi's words lingered clearly in my mind - the girl, with her face covered in blood, knelt at Dongfang Lianren's feet and cried and begged for mercy. Dongfang Lianren just looked at her with a sneer, holding a paper knife dripping with blood in his hand. His cold eyes still make my hair stand on end when I think about it to this day
I don't think Dongfang, who doesn't look like a child, can't tell whether the girl is serious or just talking casually, so I dare not say, if the girl is serious about killing Chu Yuan, who doesn't look like a child What will the East do?
¡°Her mother, she really wasn¡¯t the mother who wronged her¡ªhow did Ran Yibai, who loved to play with knives, educate his daughter? !
Lin Zhi seemed to see through my mind and said with a smile: "Miss Dongfang is not a child that is easily reassured. She has a good relationship with your younger sister, and the 'third ladies' know about you because of this. Is there anything strange about it?" "
It dawned on me that three years and eight months had nothing to do with me directly, but the time when Chu Yuan and Dongfang met
But I am even more confused about this - the third lady knew Chu Yuan because of Dongfang, and she knew Chu Nan because of Chu Yuan, which proves that the connection between us only started from that one timeAn external incident occurred, so why did I become the key to whether she could meet the family's conditions and inherit the huge family business?
