Bait

Chen Ling got up, approached Jiang Rong step by step, and showed her the receipt in the tea, "Heiji delivered a box of Keemun black tea to the old house yesterday, and was locked in the storage room by the servant. He was employed by Chen Zheng. You should receive money for completing tasks, why spend money on gifts? I unpacked it and found your remittance receipt in the tea bag."

Jiang Rong was panicked for a second, and calmed down in the next second, "Chen Ling, if you don't do business, how do you know the way of shopping malls? Your elder brother has many opponents, and once the opponent loses, he will turn into an enemy. The enemy will attack the rich without any restraint. Sincerely, those who do not hesitate to create all kinds of disasters to harm the Chen family, your eldest brother is in danger in this environment, he bought black chickens to protect himself and his family."

She sat down again, and brushed the tea foam floating on the water with the lid of the cup, "The water in the shopping mall is deep, which is not inferior to your career. Make friends with people from the rivers and lakes. If you are plotted against by your peers, at least you will have the power to fight back, and you will not be slaughtered. "

"Really." Chen Ling flipped through the receipt casually, "Sister-in-law has nothing to do with black chicken?"

"Heiji used to work for Chen Zheng, and Chen Zheng didn't have time to pay, so I made it up." Jiang Rong turned the teacup, "The remittance of 100 million is not to hire him to do things, but to Chen Zheng's collapse. I am grateful to him for his many years of service. A severance package."

"Then what is your intention to confuse my subordinates by using the two landlines in the study and the living room?"

Jiang Rong was taken aback, her pupils dilated suddenly.

"The signal records collected by the communication center, the transfer to No. 01 is normal, and the transfer to No. 02 is garbled. I asked, the signal in the nearby area is stable today, and the so-called interference is man-made."

"If there is any abnormality, there is a problem." She forced herself to be calm, "Chen Ling, you have an occupational disease."

Chen Ling smiled intriguingly, "Based on these alone, you won't plead guilty." He walked around behind her, "Zhang Li exposed Chen Zheng's transfer of public funds, and planned to immigrate to Switzerland at the end of the year, so I paid attention to him. The Chen family treated him well. There must be something strange about turning against each other, and the relationship between you and him is very close."

His breath is close at hand, cold to the bone.

Jiang Rong's back tensed, "You talk nonsense."

Chen Ling fumbled in the pocket of his trousers, "You know I have an occupational disease, and I will not give up on anyone I suspect unless I dig out the real thing." He smashed the recording pen in his hand and smashed it on the coffee table, "Living room, study room , the Clivia potted plant behind the screen, I installed three recording pens respectively, you and Zhang Li discussed and reported Chen Zheng, brought him down, assisted Chen Yuan in inheriting the family business, and suppressed the second room. In the past three days, you have contacted Heiji, Hired Lu Qiang, Zuo Li, and Pi Dahai to kidnap He Peiyu and Shen Zhen. You said it yourself, did you get wronged?"

"Are you illegally monitoring?" Jiang Rong stood up, "Chen Ling, you violated discipline!"

"I'm the police! Do you know how much the province attaches great importance to the 60 billion cross-border enterprise case? Do you know the extent of the loss? It is legal to use special means to solve the case."

She seemed to have exhausted all her strength and fell down on the sofa.

"You gave perjury, you were involved in defamation, hired murderer to kidnap, and you were involved in intentional injury. What else do you need to explain?"

"Chen Ling!" Jiang Rong panicked, grabbed him hastily, and trembled slightly, "Have you forgotten my kindness to you? I will take care of you instead of your mother. You are not the blood of the Chen family at all. Chen Zheng and Chen Zhiyun exclude you." You, be on guard against you, I am the one protecting you, if it weren't for the power of the Jiang family and my confidence, would you be where you are today?"

"I haven't forgotten." Chen Ling's face was full of sadness, and under the struggle of morality and human nature, it all turned into a ruthless sentence, "Sister-in-law, I gave you a chance, it's too late now."

"It's not too late—you found out! Only you found out, Chen Ling—" Jiang Rong begged bitterly, "You beat my sister-in-law, as long as you don't give an order, they dare not arrest me, don't they?"

Chen Ling stared at her indifferently.

Jiang Rong suddenly realized that she was wrong.

It was a ridiculous mistake for her to hope that Chen Ling would let her go.

He didn't even show mercy to his elder brother, let alone her.

Jiang Rong slid her hands down feebly, covering her face and weeping.

Half an hour later, Li Hao led a team to surround the old house, "Mrs. Chen, I offended you."

The moment the handcuffs were handcuffed on the left and the right, Jiang Rong was more restless than ever, "I want to see my son! Chen Ling—"

"Chen Ting has returned to the hospital, I will take care of it here." Li Hao withdrew his hand, "Your son cannot be contacted."

"You call Chen Yuan's private number..."

He interrupted impatiently, "Mrs. Chen, do you really understand?"

Jiang Rong looked straight at him.

"You hide from Chen Zheng and don't want to be implicated by him. Your son also hides from you. You are guilty. What good does it do for him to see you?"

A thunderbolt from the blue sky stunned Jiang Rong.

After a while, she laughed idiotically, "I have been fighting He Peiyu for 40 years, and her son, my son, has been involved."

Li Hao waved his hand, "Get in the car."

The moment the car door was closed, Jiang Rong closed her eyes without any nostalgia.

The siren blared away, and a trainee police officer approached, "Brother Hao, what are they after, money and power? They will strangle you to death and exhaust you physically and mentally."

Li Hao turned his head and stared at this resplendent manor. The Chen family was the only one who stumbled in Guobin Peninsula.

The Su family, the Gu family, and the Wei family.

The shady scenes of the group were exposed one after another, the backers were investigated, and the family was also down. From rich to poor, most of his life was like passing clouds.

However, there are still countless people fascinated by the flourishing Vanity Fair, jumping in and out, knowing that it is a fire pit that cannibalize people without spitting out cores, and will burn away the original faith and goodness.

If you jump right, you will be successful, but if you jump wrong, you will lose everything.

Li Hao sighed, "In their position, I can't help myself."

On the other side, the lights in Fucheng's office building were turned off, and only the windows of the director's office were still lit.

Yang Ji knocked on the door and walked straight to the desk, "Madam is detained at the Chang'an District Bureau. The third master is very powerful. He collected physical evidence without making a sound, and Madam was also shocked."

Chen Yuan remained silent and continued to smoke.

"I have a classmate in a court outside the city. My wife's situation is about three to five years. Of course, He Peiyu and Ms. Shen are willing to sign a letter of understanding, and the situation has changed." The ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts. She dimmed the lamp and cleared the table, " For your sake, Ms. Shen might sign it, but He Peiyu and his wife are at odds with each other, and she hopes that the wife can't turn around, and if she doesn't sign, it won't help in the end."

The man went straight to the room with an unfinished cigarette in his mouth. Yang Ji heard him lift the quilt and lie down, and tiptoe away.

The next morning, Chen Yuan went to the General Hospital.

He Peiyu's ward was at the end of the fourth floor, the door was ajar, she was drying her hair, he stopped at the door, "Aunt He."

She turned off the hair dryer, watched with cold eyes, and didn't respond.

Chen Yuan put down the gift box, "Are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to your mother's blessings, I'm fine." He Peiyu smiled and sat facing him, "Are you joking, asking if I'm alive or dead? I'm afraid I'll disappoint your mother, I survived .”

With a gloomy face, he stood in the depths of the thick white sunlight, "Aunt He, I apologize for you. Third Uncle has already arrested her."

"It's so satisfying." She smiled, "I've been looking forward to this day for 38 years. Chen Yuan, your mother has done everything possible to fight for your family property, wealth and sincerity. If you don’t have enough, you will get what you want.”

Chen Yuan kept silent and let her ridicule.

He Peiyu approached him slowly, and picked up the gift bag with her index finger. The very precious Ganoderma lucidum and purple ginseng, worth hundreds of thousands, she smiled dismissively, "You are pretending to comfort me, and the purpose is to ask for my understanding, right to protect your mother?" She Sweep it away, and fell to the ground on the spot, "You are dead. Jiang Rong hates me, and I hate her even more. Our hatred will never be solved. I don't lack this gift, and I am tired of eating it. Now I just I don’t need to vent my breath.”

"Aunt He." Chen Yuan bent his knees and wanted to kneel down.

He Peiyu's complexion changed suddenly, and he instinctively grabbed him, "What do you mean?"

"I admit that when I learned that there was a shady scene in Fucheng, I plotted my second child to take over the Shenghe Group and distanced myself. I also admit that my mother was at fault, but she is over sixty. Aunt He, your anger, grievance, and hatred , even if you ask me, I will accept it, can you forgive my mother?"

He Peiyu's feet were under his knees, and his legs supported him, and he was not allowed to kneel, "I can't afford you to kneel."

Chen Yuan didn't say a word, maintaining this knee-bending posture.

With a push, she pushed him to the open folding bed, "Threats and temptations are useless to me. You are willing to kneel, even if you kneel for a year, nothing will change."

He Peiyu turned around without the slightest leeway.

After a long time, he said hoarsely, "Aunt He, I'm sorry to bother you."

The moment Chen Yuan held the doorknob, she stopped, "Boss."

He stopped immediately.

"Jiang Rong is Jiang Rong, and you are you. You never hurt your children. If you care about your own future, you have to weigh what you want and what you get."

Chen Yuan turned his back to her, his shoulders trembled faintly, and after a while, he walked out of the ward.

Shen Zhen was more seriously injured than He Peiyu. Due to falling from a building, she fainted due to lack of oxygen. She was first assigned to the brain department and then transferred to surgery.

Arriving at the surgical area on the third floor, a team of medical staff was making ward rounds. Chen Yuan stopped a nurse, "Where is Shen Zhen?"

"3 beds." The other party looked at him suspiciously, "Family?"

He smiled, "Yes."

"Isn't that middle-aged man wearing a departmental police rank a member of her family?"

Chen Yuan looked at her, "Do you come here often?"

"I've been with you for two days and two nights. The gentleman himself was injured. I really feel sorry for Ms. Shen. She is handsome and well-known in our department." The nurse entered the next ward while recording the condition.

There are people coming and going in the corridor, most of them are family members. Outside the door of the third bed, the skylight is half open.

The piercing new wind poured in, and he stood in the safe passage, facing the wind, and lit a cigarette.

He didn't know if Shen Zhen was willing to see him.

Whether he is eligible to appear.

While hesitating, the door of the ward was opened, and Shen Zhen came out with a garbage bag. Looking at each other, she was a little bit surprised, "You..."

Chen Yuan crushed the burnt cigarette butts, "I... pass by the hospital and visit you by the way."

"I'm fine." She lowered her eyes as she rubbed the tiles with the toe of her shoes, "How about you?"

"same as usual."

Shen Zhen raised his eyelids, "What's the old look like?"

He smirked, "It's good or bad, just follow the steps."

She nodded, "Did the troubles of Fucheng Group affect you?"

Chen Yuan did not reveal the truth, "No harm."

In fact, he was also notified to cooperate with the investigation, and the inspector was the Changan District Bureau, not the inspection team.

This symbolizes that there is at least one suspect, and an accomplice in the confession involves him.

He guessed it was Zheng Zhihe or Jin Gui.

At the beginning, Zheng Zhihe knew about supporting Chen Chongzhou and setting up a trap.

Jin Gui was also a smart person who had been in the business world. When the board of directors announced that Chen Chongzhou would succeed him as the chairman, he immediately realized that it was a fraud.

He pretended to be resentful and dissatisfied, and complained for Chen Yuan. Because of his lifelike acting skills, he was a potential huge threat.

Jin Gui tried to drag Chen Yuan into the net together. With this big fish blocking the arrow, he, a small fish, would naturally have a chance to survive.

This internal strife seems to be the most intense dog-eat-dog stage.

Shen Zhen walked to the recycling bin, threw it in, and then turned back, "Sit in the house?"

He pursed his lips and remained motionless in place.

The door of the room was not closed, she quietly trimmed the bouquet of flowers on the window sill, Chen Yuan couldn't help following, next to a bouquet of perfume lilies, Chen Ling's uniform and card case were neatly stacked.

His eyes fell on it, "It's left by my third uncle."

Shen Zhen glanced at the corner of his eyes, "He accidentally spilled the porridge, and I left it to dry after washing."

Chen Ling originally planned to wash it by himself, but the relapse of his old arm injury was caused by saving her and Chen Chongzhou, so Shen Zhen offered to wash it for him as a favor.

His expression was deliberate and subtle at the time, "Just return the laundry?"

"Otherwise?" She was cunning and rascal, "Shall I tailor one myself?"

Chen Ling sideways avoided her, and unbuckled his belt, "It's okay."

Shen Zhen didn't pick up on the quarrel, and pretended to be deaf and dumb, "Third Uncle, I owe you two lives in total, and you owe me one." She clasped her fingers and shook her fists alternately, "This time it's even."

The man laughed, "You are good at math."

She rested her chin on the bedside table, "I am the representative of the math class."

"Slick tongue." Chen Ling put the police uniform at the end of the bed, "Wash it clean, I allow you to get even."

At that time, Chen Yuan fell into a long silence.

After a while, he said softly, "Actually, I envy Third Uncle very much."

Shen Zhen wiped the colored paper wrapping the bouquet, "Why do you envy Third Uncle?"

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing."

She rolled up the curtains and piled them on the radiator, then unscrewed the kettle and poured a glass of water.

"Shen Zhen, what happens to me—" Chen Yuan stopped abruptly, too obscure to speak.

She looked at him for a long time, "You tell the truth, forget about the grievances with Chongzhou, the third uncle must not bear it, he will help you."

"I don't blame my second child." He stared at a cluster of lights and shadows on the ground, "It's him who should blame me."

Shen Zhen handed the water glass in front of him, "Soldiers in shopping malls never tire of cheating, winning or losing is fate, and he can't blame you."

"He lived in my shadow all his life, under the oppression of the elder room." Chen Yuan's brows were full of unresolved sorrow, "Shen Zhen, is it retribution? I won him all my life, and only lost him once , but it is the most fatal one that cannot be remedied."

She still looked at him, "No one lost this time."

"No." His eyes were flushed, "I lost."

Chen Yuan knew that Shen Zhen might not blame him for comforting him.

He planned to invite the king into the urn, and there were signs of a big earthquake in Fucheng, inducing Chen Chongzhou to take the blame for Lei of Shenghe Group.

Right now, Shen Zhen was almost killed in Jiang Rong's hands, how could such deep hatred disappear in smoke.

He and she are destined to have no future.

The last dawn of Chen Yuan also disappeared overnight.

***

In the afternoon, Chen Yuan was dining at the Chen Mansion, but was taken away by a group of police officers.

Arriving at the interrogation building of the Chang'an District Bureau, Xiao Zhao pushed open Room 4.

The cold air blowing towards his face was eerie and eerie.

The scorching white tube lamp hung danglingly on the beam of the room. Under the light, Chen Ling's left arm was wrapped in white gauze, leaning behind the interrogation table, reviewing the case file, his complexion was a little pale.

The iron door was locked, and the dull, rusty sound made the scalp tingle, "Third Uncle."

Chen Ling raised his eyes, but did not respond.

Xiao Zhao signaled him, "There is no third uncle here."

Chen Yuan sat in the interrogation chair and repeated, "Chen Hall."

"First time?"

He said lightly.

Xiao Zhao put down the baffle and left the room.

The man shared the file, "Have you never visited your father?"

Chen Yuan said in a low voice, "No."

"why."

His chest expanded rapidly, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, devouring, bumping, and then destroying and exploding.

"I hate him."

Chen Ling squinted, "Because he was not loyal to your mother?"

"I hate everything about him."

A plastic lighter was thrown from behind the table, together with a cigarette, tied with a thin rubber band, and Chen Yuan lit it, "He is cold-blooded and selfish, my second child and I are his scapegoats, a man who disregards and sacrifices his own son, he It will only be more cruel to wives and lovers. You are his younger brother. Before you decided to join the police, did he share your ancestral property? Did he worry about you when you were an undercover agent? The Chen family, as if you were completely freed, your existence is a restraint that he is fearful of."
