ZangJiao

[If you hide anything, you will die badly. 】

This kind of words, this kind of swearing pillow, Sheng Baiyi has heard countless similar words over the years, but there are countless people who ended up with a good death.

Jie Yuebai——

Sheng Baiyi had a strange self-consciousness that Xie Yuebai might not end well in the end.

And now he can be sure that the secret after Dong Renjie's death was not concealed, on the contrary, he was murdered because the leak of the secret was of great importance, even Mrs. Hua was the same.

So, what was the secret that caused these two people to be killed one after another?

Hua Qingsi's background?

No matter what Sheng Baiyi thought, he couldn't match Hua Qingsi and Xie Chengfeng. The time of birth was obviously wrong, and it was even more impossible for Mrs. Xie to conceive twins. She gave birth to one and kept the other.

However, Hua Qingsi was brought back to Jiangnan by Mrs. Hua, and there is a hospital record. It has nothing to do with Mrs. Hua returning to Jiangnan after two days after Mrs. Xie gave birth to a child.

Also speaking of the relationship with Dong Renjie, Sheng Baiyi has also checked the DNA, and there is no blood relationship.

Other than that, the only thing Sheng Baiyi could think of was that Hua Qingsi was an orphan, and he didn't have any secrets about his life experience. Dong Renjie's hidden secret might be related to Xie Chengfeng, and it might be the type of secret funds.

No matter how he guessed, Sheng Baiyi had no clue about Dong Renjie's 'secret'. After more than half a month of chaos, Dongdu had recovered to a delicate stability, and those hidden selfish desires had also been brought to the fore.

Wen Shao sent Xie Yuebai away, and went back to the tea room to tidy up, thinking that his wife's Sheng Baiyi had already returned to the bedroom, and Hua Qingsi was still asleep, it was indeed that she had been squeezed too much and hadn't recovered.

About half an hour.

Qiao Yi is here.

Sheng Baiyi was also interested in this Qiao Yi. He had never even heard of this character when he was hiding in the Eastern Capital. He and Feng Yin had no news about this person in these years, but he was born after the chaos in the Eastern Capital. Take advantage.

Either it has been dormant for a long time, or the city government is very scheming.

The meeting place was still in the tea room. Qiao Yi, who was in the same period as Xie Chengfeng and Dong Renjie, looked a little younger, but not much younger.

The eyes are very beautiful, and it looks like the kind of person who is very ambitious, ruthless, and obsessed with power and status.

"Sheng Jiuye, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Sheng Baiyi stretched out his hand politely: Qiao Yi's right hand has thick callouses on the fingertips of the tiger's mouth, which are the marks left by touching knives or guns all year round.

"Mr. Qiao, I've heard of you for a long time."

Qiao Yi was holding a very delicate mahogany box.

"I heard that Lord Jiu and Miss Hua are married, a small gift, congratulations to the two of you who will grow old forever."

"Thank you, Mr. Joe, please sit down."

This time Wen Shao followed in the study, cooking tea and pouring water.

"I don't know why Mr. Qiao is looking for me?" Sheng Baiyi leaned over and picked up the teacup on the table, "Could it be the news about Dong Renjie's murder?"

Qiao Yi smiled, "Master Jiu is very concerned about the cause of Dong Renjie's death. Is it because of the relationship between Dong Renjie and Miss Hua?"

"Yes, what advice does Mr. Qiao have?" Sheng Baiyi calmed down and took the tea lid to scrape the tea. "If my news is correct, Mr. Qiao and Dong Renjie were brothers who worked hard together in the early years."

"It seems that some misunderstandings caused Mr. Qiao to part ways with the other two. It took more than 20 years, and Mr. Qiao returned to Dongdu and achieved what he is today."

"I'm leaning toward one theory."

"Master Jiu wanted to ask me, did I kill Dong Renjie? To be honest, Master Jiu, I did have this idea, but I'm sorry, you protected Dong Renjie too well, and I haven't been able to find a good opportunity to do it."

"Indeed, seeing Dong Renjie dead is indeed a joy. He and Xie Chengfeng were the ones who drove me to a dead end back then, and it was my fate that saved my life."

Sheng Baiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, not happy or angry.

"Mr. Qiao is straightforward, and he knows everything about me."

"Since you've come to this point, let me ask you one more thing. With the abilities of Xie Chengfeng and Dong Renjie back then, how did Mr. Qiao escape from danger and escape from death?"

"Presumably, the person behind the back must have great powers."

"Jiuye was joking, if the person who saved me was really supernatural, I wouldn't have to hide for so many years, waiting for an opportunity to take action, but would come back to Dongdu to take revenge in that year!"

Qiao Yi has already taken out his cigarette and lighter, "Master Jiu, do you mind smoking a cigarette?"

"Please."

Although Qiao Yi was dressed like a dog in an expensive suit, he could indeed see that his skin was very vicissitudes.

"Presumably, Xie Yuebai came to see Lord Jiu just now and said a lot about me. I never deny that Xie Chengfeng's son died in my hands."

Qiao Yi leaned against the back of the chair, smoking a cigarette with a feeling of looking down on the world.

"When I was working hard, I went through life and death for Xie Chengfeng. I can't remember how many times I saved my life from the gate of hell. After Xie Chengfeng succeeded in taking over the position, there was nothing to do at that time. It was all breaking the rules and doing the business that Chengfeng hated the most. But Master Jiu, I have so many people under my command, I need to eat."

"I started taking drugs because I was forced to do nothing."

"After Xie Chengfeng found out, he treated me in the same way, and there was no room for change. My three fingers... were chopped off by Xie Chengfeng himself at that time."

When Qiao Yi came in, Sheng Baiyi noticed that even though he was wearing gloves, the place where there were no fingers was empty.

Sheng Baiyi understood, Qiao Yi felt like he was being tortured and killed.

"What Xie Chengfeng did, why do you want to liquidate it on other people's children, not to mention that the children are less than ten years old, and you use drugs to murder people, isn't it a provocation?"

Sheng Baiyi doesn't like pornography, gambling, and drugs. Most of all, he gambles when he's in a good mood, and doesn't touch the other two. He just hates it, but he doesn't hate it as deeply as Xie Chengfeng.

Even so, I feel that Qiao Yi is too cruel to a child.

Qiao Yi didn't speak for a while, lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, and then said after a while, "I didn't make any sophistry about what happened back then. I killed the child. Everything I say now is an excuse."

"Then what are you doing with me?"

"I want to discuss a deal with Master Jiu."

Sheng Baiyi laughed lowly, "What bargaining chip do you use to negotiate a deal with me?"

"Dongdu!"

Qiao Yi pinched his cigarette, "I know that you and Third Master Feng have always wanted to take down Dongdu, completely wipe it out, and give Dongdu a Haiyan and Heqing. I have heard a little about what Third Master Feng has done these years. I can't achieve that kind of awareness. But you and Feng Sanye don't want to see the dirty, I will not openly provoke."

"Actually, to put it bluntly, I just want to beg for a living under the hands of Lord Jiu and Third Master Feng. I am willing to hand over the power of Dongdu to Master Jiu without reservation in exchange for me to spend my life in Dongdu."

"This bargaining chip is very good, so how do you guarantee that you will not become the second Xie Chengfeng?"

When asked this question, Qiao Yi smiled, "What's so good about being Xie Chengfeng? Didn't he die in the end? If he was sensible, he would agree to cooperate earlier so he wouldn't end up like this."

"I just want to save my life. I'm afraid of death so I won't behave like him. I don't know how to flatter."

Sheng Baiyi put down his teacup, "You can consider it, then what do you want?"

"I said, I just want to live." Qiao Yi grinned, a very cunning smile, which gave people a very bad visual effect.

Sheng Baiyi finally understood, and squinted his eyes.

"You want to use my hand to get rid of Xie Yuebai."

Qiao Yi waved his hands again and again, "Jiu Ye misunderstood, I just want to save my life, I don't think who Jiu Ye is targeting. I just want to live, relying on Jiu Ye's protection."

"I'm at this age, and I don't have any ambitions. Living to retire is the most extravagant wish. I was born in Dongdu, and I always hope that the fallen leaves will return to their roots, and I will die in Dongdu."

"Master Jiu, don't worry. I am sincere. As long as you promise me, the rights of Dongdu will be given to me immediately. I don't care about others. Those brothers who trust me will definitely not cause trouble."

"Actually, Dongdu is really a good city, extending in all directions. It would be a pity if the harbor and pier were wasted. And the development over the years, it's just that the weather is a bit colder. It would be better if they were one by one."

"There is also Xie Yuebai. If Master Jiu can mediate, I am willing to stop the war and turn the enemy into a friend." Qiao Yi laughed twice, "I don't want to be in dire straits in the future."

Sheng Baiyi didn't answer right away, "I'm not interested in Dongdu. The main reason I stay here is Dong Renjie's death. It's more appropriate to tell Feng Yin your thoughts and sincerity."

"Third Master is busy preparing for the wedding, and I really can't get in touch with him in such a light-hearted way. If the ninth master didn't condescend to come to Dongdu, I would also be out of touch."

"Master Jiu, what you said about Dong Renjie, I just came back and I can't help it. I don't know who else is there besides me who wants to kill Dong Renjie."

"If Lord Jiu thinks highly of me, I can help you find out."

"This is not a deal, even if it is a wedding gift from me to Miss Jiuye Tonghua."

Sheng Baiyi raised his eyebrows, "Then wait for the good news."

This time it was Ming Rui who went to see off the guests. At that time, Wen Shao was standing by the window staring at Qiao Yi downstairs who was smiling all over his face, "This Dongdu is really better than the other."

"If Qiao Yi had been attacking and calculating like this, how could he have made Xie Chengfeng the king of the Eastern Capital back then."

Sheng Baiyi finally took a sip of tea and got up, "Those who say right and wrong are right and wrong, do you think the current situation is similar to the previous one?"

Wen Shao thought about it carefully for a while, then turned around, "Master Jiu means... the same as Dong Renjie at that time?"

First pull Xie Yuebai into the trap, create the illusion of monopolizing power for Xie Yuebai, then kill Dong Renjie and Mrs. Hua Lao, and then use Sheng Baiyi's hands to get rid of Xie Yuebai.

Every step is calculated.

Wen Shao followed up and talked about his own thoughts, "If Qiao Yi just wanted to plot against Jie Yuebai so that she would not have the ability to snatch the power of Dongdu, why would Dong Renjie be involved."

"Regardless of whether Jie Yuebai or Qiao Yi killed this person, Master Jiu, you will never let him go? Unless, whoever of the two of them has made a perfect opportunity to frame him 100%, otherwise Dong Renjie will just be suspected and die. It’s a completely different matter.”

"And what I don't understand the most is why you are always involved here."

Sheng Baiyi was also thinking about this matter, but even if the matter reached this point and there was no evidence to support it, he still felt that it had something to do with Hua Qingsi.

To put it bluntly, it is about Hua Qingsi's background.

"Master Jiu, I found out what you asked me to investigate, and here it is."

What Sheng Baiyi wanted was someone who had appeared in Di's, Jiang's, and Yuan's homes during his departure from Dongdu.

"They're all people who usually get close to a few people. Ms. Yuan's frequent contacts are because Ms. Yuan is working at home recently. Unless the company has something to do, she won't go to the company."

"Yuanci went to the company because of an emergency?"

"Yes." Wen Shao nodded, "Dongdu was quite chaotic at that time, not only Miss Yuan, but also Mr. Jiang's side. Such troubles have dragged down Dongdu's economy a lot."

"It is also recently that the balance has been maintained, and some bold businesses dare to continue to operate one after another."

The two left the tea room together, it was late to prepare lunch.

"Have you screened all of them?"

"Yes."

Sheng Baiyi went directly to the kitchen, "I don't feel right, you can contact Xiang Jun in the afternoon to re-screen, even if these people appear innocent and innocent, don't be careless."

"Yes, Master Jiu."

Wen Shao closed the tablet, took out his phone and glanced, "Sun Rui is coming soon, accompanied by Dongzi and Yang Xiao."

"Go get in touch and see if you can get some news."

"Okay, Master Jiu."

Sun Rui arrived at Shuixie around 11:30, and Sheng Baiyi was still preparing lunch in the kitchen at that time.

In her 40s, she still has charm, not particularly stunning and beautiful, but Sun Rui likes to wear cheongsam, and her temperament is very elegant and dignified.

See you again now.

His eyes were dimmed, his whole body was thinner, he was in a trance, and he was in a daze.

"Sister Sun." Sheng Baiyi called her, "Long time no see."

Sun Rui nodded, then remembered something, brushed her hair, "Mr. Sheng, long time no see."

"Wait a moment, it was relatively late last night when I arrived in Dongdu, and Qingsi was still asleep."

"it is good."

Sheng Baiyi went to the bedroom and woke up Hua Qingsi who was sleeping soundly. She was still sleepy at the moment, and with a rare spirit of getting up, she pushed Sheng Baiyi with moderate strength.

"I'm going to sleep a little longer, please don't bother me."

Sheng Baiyi picked her up, put on her bathrobe gently and went to the bathroom, "Sister Sun is here, and I don't want to disturb you, but it's time for lunch."

"Go to bed later, okay?"

Hua Qingsi suppressed his anger from getting up, his eyes were sleepy, "You are so annoying."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I promise, I won't bully you tonight and let you have a good rest."

Hua Qingsi hummed softly, "You said the same thing last time."

It was because the atmosphere last night was too good, too ambiguous, because his heartbeat was uncontrollable, and he promised to let her rest for a few days when he went back to Dongdong, but in the end...

Hua Qingsi yawned and washed up, changed his clothes before going downstairs.

After this meeting, Sun Rui couldn't bear it anymore, and kept crying while holding Hua Qingsi.

Hua Qingsi couldn't feel better after losing Uncle Dong and Grandma, and even in such an atmosphere, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Sun Rui has known Dong Renjie for 15 years. She used to be a princess to accompany wine.

Similar to Dong Renjie is in the bar.

At that time, he was already well-known in Dongdu as Second Master Dong, and a good brother of Master Xie. He was powerful and powerful, and he was very upright.

Dong Renjie had a lover at the time, and it is said that he followed Dong Renjie before he became famous. He was not beautiful, but he liked to laugh very much, smiling like a blooming flower.

Sun Rui has seen it before too. Not only does that girl smile beautifully, she is also very gentle, not the kind who speaks softly, but the kind who is very comfortable with people.

It had developed very well, and they were already talking about marriage. If it wasn't for that bastard Qiao Yi, the girl Xie Chengfeng and Dong Renjie wouldn't have died because of revenge.

The way of death was so miserable that Dong Renjie hadn't slowed down for many years. It was probably because of this blow that made Dong Renjie's character weird and difficult to get close to. Perhaps it was the reason why Dong Renjie and Xie Chengfeng broke completely.

At that time, there were many women around Dong Renjie. Today is this woman, and tomorrow is another very romantic. After Dong Renjie broke up with Xie Chengfeng, the only one who did not leave was Sun Rui.

With such an unclear identity, Sun Rui has been with her until now.

This scene is unclear, how should I put it, if Dong Renjie had no feelings, he would not let Sun Rui stay until now, would not acquiesce in those under his command calling sister-in-law and sister-in-law in private, let alone let Sun Rui participate in him, Nor would she be allowed to take care of Hua Qingsi as an aunt.

If there is affection, why not take Sun Rui, she is waiting for Dong Renjie to say "I will marry you" until she dies.

In fact, Sun Rui has waited, but she has not waited for any wedding, which marriage certificate, at least in Dong Renjie's heart, Sun Rui is already her dependent lover.

For lunch, Sheng Baiyi cooked a lot, each dish was Hua Qingsi's favorite, and it was delicious in color, fragrance, and taste, but it was a pity that everyone didn't eat much.

"This ring is so beautiful." Hua Qingsi held Sun Rui's hand, unable to tell what emotion he was feeling.

Sun Rui looked at the ring and smiled wryly, "Xiaoci helped to choose, you know that Old Dong's eyes can't pick anything out, and it was inconvenient for Old Dong to go out at that time, so Xiaoci ran around to pick it."

"I'm sorry, Miss Sun."

"What does the silly girl have to do with you? You and Mr. Sheng have tried our best, and it's impossible to guard against it. It's just me and Old Dong who are almost destined."

Sun Rui has been touching that ring, loving and cherishing it very much.

"Sister Sun, Bai Yi and I have not forgotten. We remember Uncle Dong's enmity. This time we went back to Dongdu to solve this matter. Bai Yi and I will definitely find the murderer."

Sun Rui naturally believed Sheng Baiyi and Hua Qingsi, but she asked, "Isn't the murderer Xie Yuebai?"

Hua Qingsi asked back, "What evidence do you have?"

"Only she always wanted Lao Dong's life. She insisted that Lao Dong was the murderer who killed Xie Chengfeng. Now that Lao Dong is dead, isn't Xie Yuebai the happiest person?"

Sheng Baiyi is not surprising at all, because things in Dongdu have been selected and dyed like this. Everyone thought that Xie Yuebai did it when Dong Renjie died, just like what many people hoped to see.

"Sister Sun, I don't think the murderer is Xie Yuebai."

Hua Qingsi looked at him, "Why do you say that, what news did you find?"

"Not currently, but look at Si'er, in Dongdu today, even Sister Sun thinks that Xie Yuebai killed Dong Renjie. Everyone thinks so. If Xie Yuebai really wanted to kill someone, why did he wait until now?"

"After Qiao Yi took over the power of Dongdu, after her rights were scrambled."

"Sister Sun, do you know Qiao Yi?"

Sun Rui shook her head. When he followed Dong Renjie, Qiao Yi was already a stranger to them, and the rumor was that Qiao Yi was an ungrateful person.

Sheng Baiyi nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Xiao hesitate to speak.

"Si'er, take Sister Sun to rest, it's safe here, don't worry about anything."

Hua Qingsi also felt that Sun Rui's face was too ugly, and he thought so in his heart.
