The big star has a prince syndrome

The IP address of the number that spoke to Li Haiyang was in Thailand. The police followed the clues and sent someone to investigate, but found nothing.

Because the number is now in the hands of a man in the slums, and he said he picked up the phone.

In other words, it is very likely that the mastermind behind the incident simply threw his mobile phone abroad and has long since disappeared.

Fortunately, with the help of local colleagues, they found the registration information of the phone card when it was processed and found the person himself.

"I bought this card five years ago when I first came here. Back then, I was a male model. Once I made a little money, I decided to change careers. I'm running a small business now, and I don't want to be harassed by those old women I used to have. This card is definitely unusable. I've thrown it away along with the phone and card."

The owner of the phone card was a Chinese restaurant owner who was about thirty years old, good-looking but flashy.

According to him, he had thrown away the phone card when he was preparing to change his career two years ago. After his last day of work, he casually placed it on a trash can in the nightclub where he used to work. Apart from that, he knew nothing else.

It has been more than two years, and it is unrealistic to go to that nightclub to check anything now, so the clue about the mobile phone number is gone again.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, officers. Goodbye."

In the office of the president of ATIM Group, Xu Yao learned the results of the investigation after talking to the police, which was that there was no result.

The target person left his phone in Thailand, and the time span even extended to more than two years ago. This person is extremely patient and cautious.

Xu Yao was a little confused. Who would spend so much time planning a murder and what was the reason?

Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely deal with someone as quickly as possible, unless it was a revenge like the one in ancient costume dramas where a whole family was wiped out, which would not be worthy of his long-term planning.

"It can't be Xu Qingran's enemy. Young people wouldn't be so patient. If they come to the Xu family, it's more likely to be a grudge between the previous generation. Thailand, two years ago..."

He twirled the pen in his hand, crossed his legs and began to think. After a long time, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he turned to look at the white tiger sculpture on the glass cabinet not far away, staring at it for a long time without blinking.

It was not until someone knocked on the door that he woke up from his dream and suddenly looked at the female secretary who came in with a thermos.

"Mr. Xu, this is the nutritious soup your mother sent."

The secretary instructed him to put the thermos on the coffee table and carefully poured the liquid into his bowl.

"Just leave it there, I'll do it myself."

Xu Yao motioned for her to go out, then picked up his phone again and called Jiang Qing.

While waiting, his eyes were always on the sculpture left by his father. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression, but his fingertips on the armrest of the leather chair were rubbing back and forth uncontrollably.

Jiang Qing didn't answer the phone. Xu Yao seemed to be used to it and hung up and called her personal assistant.

The woman was in her thirties and had been with Jiang Qing since Xu Ao's death. Later, she accompanied her to settle abroad. He always took care of Jiang Qing when she went out to travel, and the same was true this time when she returned to China.

"Sister Yun, my mother didn't answer the phone. Is she home?"

"Mr. Xu, my wife said she wanted to travel around the world and she left last night."

"Travel around the world? Didn't she go there before? Why is she going again? Didn't you follow her?"

Xu Yao's face rarely showed confusion and surprise. It was the first time that his mother went on a trip abroad without notifying him and left without saying goodbye.

"No, I have some family matters that need to be attended to for a few days, so my wife gave me the day off. She also told me to have my aunt bring you soup every day. Do you need anything from her? She should still be on the plane right now, so why not contact her later?"

"Okay, I got it. Go ahead and do your thing, Sister Yun. We'll contact you later."

After getting the answer, Xu Yao hung up the phone and opened the chat app to send a message to Jiang Qing.

Xu Yao: Mom, why didn't you tell me you were going abroad? Call me back when you land.

After sending the message, he sat there for a long time, as if he was lost in thought, completely forgetting that the bowl of chicken soup on the coffee table was gradually losing its heat.

Unable to obtain any clues about the suspect, the detention center had no choice but to interrogate Li Haiyang again. Under the pressure of justice from the experienced criminal police who had solved countless cases for three hours, he finally couldn't bear it and uttered a few words.

"I used my daughter's QQ to video chat with him... He was a man, younger than me, but I couldn't see his face clearly. He added me because my daughter had posted about my truck on her social media profile, and he knew I was the driver. After we finished chatting on QQ, he said he would give me a phone to make fake chat records to disrupt the view... so that the police would believe that I really didn't know his specific information. Yes, the phone you found was given to me by him. I even asked him about his deep hatred with Young Master Xu, but he told me not to meddle. I thought it was a consensual deal. What if I betrayed him and he caused trouble for my wife and children? But now if I don't tell them, the Xu family won't let them go. I really don't know what to do... I regret it so much now. Not only did I get involved, but I also implicated my family..."

Xu Qingran sat in a wheelchair, facing the artificial lake in the nursing home and watching the interrogation video on his mobile phone.

When the last scene of Li Haiyang covering his face and crying appeared on the screen, a nameless anger rose up in his heart. Before he even realized that he had been angered, he raised his hand and smashed the phone to the ground, and the screen shattered instantly.

"What right does he have to act pitiful..."

He gritted his teeth as he faced the river breeze. The bodyguards following him didn't dare to say anything, but just silently stepped forward to pick up the broken phone and put it away.

This is not the attitude Xu Qingran wants to see from Li Haiyang. Regret is not atonement. What he should do is find ways to find the culprit. The murderer's tears will only make the victim feel disgusted.

"Qingran, are you angry again? How about asking Ye Yan to take a few days off from the crew and come back to accompany you?"

Lin Anyi came to see him and happened to see him just venting his anger.

She didn't want Xu Qingran to worry about not being able to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, as it would be detrimental to his recovery.

Ye Yan is the best medicine Lin Anyi can think of to treat Xu Qingran's physical and mental injuries, but Xu Qingran does not want to appreciate it.

He turned his head slightly to glance at Lin Anyi. The once strong and capable woman had now let go of her edge, and there was a bit more gentleness between her eyebrows.

That was the motherly love that Xu Qingran almost exchanged his life for. If you say it is precious, it is actually not that precious.

"He has his own things to do. Love is not everything to him, and he is not my appendage. And don't tell me you don't know that he was so angry about me that he became depressed and fainted. If you really accept him, please don't bother him, okay?"

He couldn't accept that Lin Anyi would exhaust his remaining energy for his son even though he knew that Ye Yan had a mental illness.

He wanted to go back, so he signaled the bodyguard to take him back to his room. Seeing this, Lin Anyi waved the bodyguard away and took the wheelchair armrest herself.

On the way back to her room, Lin Anyi finally let go of the maternal airs she had held for more than twenty years and happily accepted her identity as an ordinary mother.

"I didn't think it through. Who made you like him so much? I can't think of anyone else who can make you happy except him."

It was rare that she didn't get angry after being rejected by Xu Qingran. Maybe she really had changed, Xu Qingran thought, it was cause for celebration.

"We've been together for two years, and you only just realized how much I like him? Mom, I hope you didn't just compromise because you almost lost me. I hope you can truly understand him and erase your prejudices against him, just like how my aunt didn't think it was strange for my brother not to get married, which is why their relationship is so good."

"Then is not getting married the same as being gay? You've always thought your aunt is gentler and more open-minded than me. So what can I do? Your aunt and your uncle are a perfect match, and I'm a small designer with no background who started my own business and had the opportunity to meet your father. We all hope that you will be better than your brother and don't want you to be outdone by him. I admit that we didn't take your feelings into consideration, but now we have changed. As for Ye Yan, I will apologize to him when he comes back. In this way, can I catch up with your aunt?"

Lin Anyi tried to coax Xu Qingran into loving his mother again in his heart, just like coaxing a child, and fill the gap that had existed before.

She was quite successful. For the first time, Xu Qingran didn't mind chatting with her. He raised the corners of his mouth and pretended to be arrogant: "I can only do it reluctantly. After all, my aunt just gave me a yacht, which cost more than 80 million."

"Yacht? Oh, I know. I ran into her the last time I went to the old house. She went back to look for the sculpture your uncle left behind, saying she wanted to decorate your brother's office. She asked if it would be convenient for you to see visitors in the nursing home. She had a gift for you, probably that yacht, right? So you're really greedy for money, aren't you?"

Lin Anyi said this jokingly, with a smile on her face that she had never had before when facing Xu Qingran. This showed that they had indeed broken the ice.

Xu Qingran is the same. He also hopes that the relationship among his family members will be harmonious and that they will respect each other. Now that his dream has come true, it can be regarded as a comfort to him at the most disastrous time in his life.

"Yeah, how about you also..." Xu Qingran was about to say something happily, but stopped talking halfway, his eyes drifting into the wind by the river.

Before Lin Anyi could ask further questions, he suddenly continued: "Give me something too."
