Don't forget it, Dad! Isn't it enough to kneel down for you?
Chapter 303 The Secret in the Study
Not sure if it was an illusion, Cui Ziming paused.
But in the blink of an eye, he recovered as before, let go of Chu Yu, and said, "Go to school. I'll have someone make you something for lunch."
Chu Yu named a few dishes and Cui Ziming wrote them down one by one.
Chu Jiaojiao couldn't help but turn her head to look at Sheng Jun, "Big Brother, can you bring me lunch at noon?"
Sheng Jun gave her a fake smile, "Sure, I can also check your homework by the way."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao immediately shook her head and said, "Forget it, forget it. Big Brother, you have a lot of things to do. Go ahead and do your work. I'll eat in the school cafeteria."
After she finished speaking, she spat in the direction of Chu Yu and Cui Ziming, "Bah, what are you pretending to be? You even want to send food. Can the food you cook at home be as delicious as the one at school? You just love to be special."
In fact, Chu Yu didn’t care about these few mouthfuls of food, she cared about her face.
She wanted everyone to know that she was Cui Ziming's daughter and the eldest daughter of the Cui family.
Moreover, because she had not been at home for many years, Cui Ziming felt guilty and wanted to compensate her, and he wanted to give her all the good things in the world.
The father and daughter hit it off tacitly, each with their own ulterior motives.
After Chu Yu left, Chu Jiaojiao finished the last bite of corn, clapped her hands, and followed Cui Ziming in with a swagger.
Cui Ziming returned to his study, practiced calligraphy for a while, and then continued to work.
He was looking at the flow of funds in his foundation, and every single detail was recorded clearly, not even a penny was left out.
He seems to be a really good person.
But they had long been prejudiced against him and naturally did not believe it.
Chu Jiaojiao looked around the Cui family and found nothing unusual. Even Shi Feng was like a nanny, doing what she was supposed to do, and there was nothing unusual. Helplessly, Chu Jiaojiao returned to the study.
The study is very large, with a bookshelf on one wall, which is full of books, and it can be seen that they have all been read.
Sheng Jun also came over and looked at these books carefully. They covered many aspects and fields, and were very diverse, with no preference shown.
In fact, someone had checked this study room before, but found no traces.
But Sheng Jun intuitively felt that there must be something wrong here.
Qin Wei also came to help, wanting to see if he could find any clues.
Jing Mo felt sleepy while reading, so he just sat aside and stared at Cui Ziming.
Cui Ziming was still busy making a phone call, instructing his assistant to ensure the delivery of a new batch of donated materials.
Just when Chu Jiaojiao's hand was on a book, his fingertips paused. Jing Mo noticed it with his sharp eyes and subconsciously turned his head to look in Chu Jiaojiao's direction.
The next second, he said, "Auction tonight? Okay, I'll go."
Oh, so that’s what you were thinking about.
Chu Jiaojiao also moved her fingers away. Her fingertips slid across the books one by one. She curled her lips and realized that she had actually read all of them. There was nothing gray on them.
Sheng Jun glanced at her. If she loved reading so much, he would have less worries.
Chu Jiaojiao pretended not to see his gaze and looked away calmly.
Sheng Jun shook his head in amusement and said, "Just keep acting. Let's see how long she can keep pretending."
Humph.
You have to pretend even if you can't. If you make eye contact, you will be forced to study.
Chu Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at the bookshelf more seriously.
I just looked for a long time but didn't see anything wrong.
But the more this happened, the weirder it felt to her.
Knowing that Cui Ziming was not a good person, the more perfect he behaved, the more I felt that there was something wrong with him.
Chu Jiaojiao took a few steps back and looked at the books from a distance, and finally her eyes slowly fell on one book.
That book was the oldest. When she touched it just now, she felt that it was the smoothest. It was obvious that it had been hit many times.
She was about to go over when Cui Ziming suddenly stood up. He was talking on the phone with one hand and taking a few books from the bookshelf with the other. One of them happened to be the one Chu Jiaojiao had just seen.
She took a few more glances and found that the area behind the shelf was normal, with nothing there.
Cui Ziming's hand seemed to slip, and the book fell to the ground. The pages opened, revealing various pictures inside, which was consistent with the title of the book. It was actually a picture album.
I don't see any problem.
They waited until the afternoon, and searched his study while he was having lunch, but still found nothing.
Finally, when it was getting dark, they left.
"Senior Brother." Chu Jiaojiao was extremely hungry. As soon as she came out, she ran straight to a restaurant and wolfed down a bowl of rice. When she felt her stomach was better, she slowed down.
"Where exactly is Cui Ziming's flaw?"
Sheng Jun was also thinking about this.
Jing Mo was a little tired after watching for a whole day, and hesitantly said: "Could he really be a good person? I think his appearance is normal, there is nothing wrong with him."
Chu Jiaojiao shook her head firmly, looking at him with some disapproval, "Sixth Brother, no matter who we suspect, we must not doubt our own judgment. There must be something wrong with him!"
Qin Wei was eating and said, "Let's eat first and go back later."
It just so happened that he said there was an auction in the evening and he wouldn’t be at home.
Whatever people have done will always leave traces, it’s just that they haven’t discovered it yet.
Chu Jiaojiao nodded and continued to eat.
After eating, they returned to Cui's house again.
Chu Jiaojiao took down the book that Cui Ziming had taken today, and the next second, there was suddenly some movement.
Chu Jiaojiao looked up and saw the bookshelf slowly moving to the side.
Sure enough there is a problem!
There is actually a mechanism!
Sheng Jun immediately stepped forward, pulled her behind him, and walked in front himself.
Qin Wei followed, and Jing Mo followed at the end, sandwiching Chu Jiaojiao in the middle, protecting her tightly.
As soon as they entered, the bookshelf closed immediately.
Chu Jiaojiao looked back and didn't care.
The space inside was quite large and somewhat dim, so they walked in using the flashlights on their cell phones.
Chu Jiaojiao touched the wall and turned on the light.
The moment the lights came on, Jiaojiao saw the whole picture clearly and opened her mouth in surprise.
After a long while, she found her voice and said, "No, there's something wrong with this person."
I saw that the room was empty, with only the tablets of Cui family ancestors placed inside.
They are arranged in an orderly manner, representing more than a dozen generations, just like books on a bookshelf outside, which makes people's scalp tingle.
Chu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shiver and rubbed her arms, which were indeed covered with goose bumps.
Normal people do worship ancestral tablets, but they either place them in the ancestral hall or on the altar. Who would build a mechanism behind the bookshelf to specifically place this thing?
Besides, this is disrespectful to our ancestors.
It looks very ghostly.
She said that Cui Ziming was definitely not a good person.
Just as I was thinking, I heard footsteps suddenly...
