While Zhang Zhan and Li Bai were taking Yunyun for a walk in the community downstairs, in the Fang family mansion somewhere in the city, Fang Xueru, the patriarch of the Fang family, was sitting in his study, smoking a cigar and silently meditation. His youngest son Fang Xiaoguo has been killed for more than a week, and there is still no trace of the killer "Ghostface", let alone the real murderer behind the scenes. He firmly believed that his youngest son's death was not as simple as a victim's revenge killing. Behind this incident, there must be a larger and more ulterior conspiracy hidden. But what exactly is this conspiracy? Who carried out this conspiracy? Was the murder of his youngest son the beginning of this conspiracy? What more photogenic things will happen next? Fang Xueru, who has been dealing with conspiracies all his life, slowly smoked his cigar and thought hard. In fact, he doesn't usually smoke and has no craving for cigarettes. But whenever he thinks about plotting against others, or when he encounters a difficult situation and needs to think hard about countermeasures, he will light up a precious Cuban cigar so that he can calm down and analyze the calculation rationally. It was getting dark outside the window. Since there were no lights on in the study, it was extremely dark at this time. Only the cigar in Fang Xueru's hand had a faint glow of fire. At this moment, there were two gentle knocks on the door of the study room, and a hoarse male voice shouted from outside: "Master!" Fang Xueru, who had been deep in thought, finally came to his senses, and after humming, Said: "Come in!" The door was pushed open and he walked in. He is a man in his sixties, about the same age as Fang Xueru. After he came in, he immediately closed the door, then silently walked to Fang Xueru's desk and kept his hands down. Fang Xueru was not surprised. He just raised his hand and slowly took a puff of the cigar before asking the man: "How is it? Is there any news?" The man replied: "Yes, Xiao Xu sent back the news and said, After his secret investigation, he found no unusual behavior in the Zhou family in the recent period, but he said that he was not a core figure in the Zhou family, and he could not know some more confidential things. " Fang Xueru hummed. He said: "That is to say. There is still no sign that the Yunyang Zhou family is plotting against us?" The man replied: "Yes, sir!" Fang Xueru slowly took another puff of cigar, and slowly After exhaling smoke. Then he asked: "What have Xiaozu been doing these two days?" The man replied: "In addition to busying with the company's affairs. The eldest young master seems to be also investigating the murder of the second young master. Some powers and connections that we usually don't use. The young master has already mobilized him." Fang Xueru sighed secretly after hearing this and said, "Xiaozu is still young. If a bigger crisis happens in the future, let's see how he can handle it. ." This question was not actually asked to the man at the desk, so he just remained silent and did not respond. Fang Xueru sighed again, and suddenly changed the question and asked: "Didn't Yihong hire some kind of private detective? It's been a week, have you found any clues?" The man immediately replied: "As far as I'm concerned, As far as I know, not yet!" Fang Xueru frowned slightly, then shook his head and said: "Private detectives are just money-making stuff. Tell Yihong, if there is no results in two days, let him go. Detective, let¡¯s go. Even the police can¡¯t find any clues about this matter. How can he, a foreigner who is unfamiliar with this place, solve the case?¡± The man responded: ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Fang Xueru seemed to have thought of something again, and said: "Speaking of the police, is there any progress with the police today? I specially invited the elite crime-solving elite from the provincial capital. It has been several days, but there is no result yet?" The man gave a wry smile and said: "Master, the elites from the provincial capital are also unfamiliar with their place of origin. Our local police can't find any clues. I'm afraid they will just" The next words, although this man did not It¡¯s clear, but everyone understands the meaning. Fang Xueru suddenly lost his words and just fell silent. After a long time, the study room remained silent. The man at the desk thought that Fang Xueru had no questions to ask him anymore, but he didn't speak, and the man didn't dare to leave, so he could only keep his hands down. Suddenly, Fang Xueru, who was silent, spoke. He spoke slowly and in a voice that was almost inaudible to the man: "Zijie, I have been thinking about a question for the past two days. Tell me, what if? One day I'm gone, then whose hands will this huge family fortune of ours fall into?" Although the voice was soft, the man named Zijie at the desk was shocked when he heard it, and he suddenly looked up at the desk. The later Fang Xueru?. Then he immediately lowered his head and said with some fear: "Master, what's wrong with you? You are still in the prime of your life, how could you think of this problem?" Fang Xueru waved his hand and said: "Don't panic, of course I'm fine, it's just casual Ask. You have to answer this question." Zijie didn't understand Fang Xueru's purpose for asking this question, but he quickly answered: "Is there any need to ask? Of course the eldest young master has inherited your family business, right? Are there any other candidates?" A mysterious sneer appeared on Fang Xueru's face, and he said, "What if the eldest young master suddenly disappears?" Zijie suddenly asked, "How is that possible? He is only thirty-six years old and is in good health. Nothing will happen within a few decades, right?" Fang Xueru suddenly smiled gloomily and said, "It's not impossible. Isn't my youngest son still very young? It¡¯s not the same thing anymore!¡± After hearing this, Zijie finally realized something and raised his head to look at Fang Xueru, with a look of horror on his face. Fang Xueru then said: "Answer me, if I am no longer here and the eldest young master is no longer here, then whose hands will our Fang family's business end up falling into?" Zijie's attitude finally became serious. After thinking for a moment, he replied seriously: "One of the master's two brothers has joined politics and the other has joined the army. According to regulations, they and their children have lost the qualification to inherit the family business. Your grandson, the eldest young master My son, Young Master Katsuki, is too young to be the patriarch. In addition, because my wife and the two young ladies are women, they are not qualified to inherit. So for now, if something happens like you said. For this kind of thing, in the Fang family, only the two cousins ??and their adult male descendants have the possibility to inherit the family business and serve as the patriarch." Fang Xueru nodded seriously and said, "That's right, then these two of us. Among the cousins, who do you think is more likely, or more qualified?" Zijie immediately replied without thinking: "It must be Mr. Xuenong. He is the director with the largest shares in the company, and he is also highly respected in the family. , there are many supporters. If the master and the eldest young master are suddenly absent, he must be the favored candidate for the clan leader!" Fang Xueru laughed coldly after hearing this, nodded slowly and said: "I'm afraid Is that the purpose of the conspirators? Zijie, do you understand?" Zijie didn't dare to answer. After a long time, he said, "Master, how can we prove it?" Fang Xueru sneered slightly. , slowly put out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray on the table. Then, he said word by word: "Contact my third brother and ask him to secretly send a few military experts to secretly protect the safety of the eldest young master. Then, I will fall ill, and my life will be in danger. Do you understand that it is a serious illness that will lead to death? " Zijie and Fang Xueru have been together for almost thirty years, so they naturally understand the meaning of his words. He immediately sighed and said without hesitation: "I will make arrangements immediately and will definitely protect the safety of the young master." Fang Xueru hummed, and then said seriously: "We must protect it secretly, and it must be foolproof! In addition, it is best to stay A living mouth so that we can have evidence to convince the public!" Zijie naturally understood and said again. At this moment Xueru finally waved his hand and said: "Go!" Zijie bowed and saluted, then turned and left. But as soon as he reached the door of the study, Fang Xueru suddenly thought of something again and shouted again: "Wait a minute!" Zijie had to stop, then turned around and said: "Any other instructions, sir?" Fang Xueru left the desk and walked away. He came over and said: "Only you and I know about this matter. No one else, including the eldest young master, can know anything about it. For my third brother, just say that we need someone to protect us in extraordinary times. Others, don't It¡¯s too much to reveal, do you understand?¡± ¡°Yes, I understand!¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do it!¡± When Zijie actually left the study, Fang Xueru was alone in the room and started to look hideous. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "Brother Xuenong, is it really you? If it is really you, then don't blame me, the elder brother, for not respecting brotherhood!" Fang Xueru is plotting against himself. The cousins ??Zhang Zhan and Li Bai had finished their walk and returned to Li Bai's house with Yunyun in their arms. Of course, unlike when the two of them had something to say when they went out, when they went back, they were a little embarrassed and had nothing to say. Li Bai naturally understood Zhang Zhan¡¯s bold hint. However, Zhang Zhan didn't say anything further, so she could only make blind guesses in a panic. She couldn't help but suspect that she was overthinking. And Zhang Zhan knew that it was not time to attack Li Bai.??The best time, so I hinted at it and stopped immediately without saying more. His purpose was to make Li Bai's heart ripple and make him think wildly. In this way, this beauty will often think of him, thus planting a seed of temptation. Not long after, Zhang Zhan finally said goodbye to Li Bai¡¯s family and returned to his home. This trip to Li Bai's house was quite rewarding. Not only did he learn from Li Nan the current status of the police investigation into him, but he also started a plan to seduce Li Bai. He could feel that the current teacher Li Bai already had a certain affection for him. As long as you work hard, you will most likely finally get this beauty and hold her in your arms. Haha, let¡¯s start by making her flustered! One day, she will surrender obediently! (To be continued)
