Retreat

He Yu haunted the bars for several days in a row. He brought photos of Qiao Mudong and Lu Jincong and asked many people if they had seen these two people.

Qiao Mudong didn't come to this area very often, so most people said they had never seen him, only the waiter in the bar he had visited told about how he came to pick up Fu Chenshan that night.But the waiter didn't know anything after seeing Qiao Mudong leave.

There is surveillance at the entrance of the bar. From the surveillance, it can be seen that Qiao Mudong and Lu Jincong got into the car together, and then drove away.It is said that the police came to adjust the surveillance, but it was not easy for He Yu to see it, so it was Li Tang who brought someone with him, and the other party agreed to let them watch it.

It was only later that He Yu found out that the person Li Tang brought was a lawyer surnamed Gao under Hong Minhang.He told He Yu that judging from the evidence the police possessed, it would be difficult to convict Qiao Mudong, and it is estimated that the procuratorate will not easily arrest him.However, if the detention is extended for a month, the police will definitely try their best to find evidence proving Qiao Mudong's guilt. Once they find it, it will be difficult to say.

He Yu didn't seem to think that Qiao Mudong was innocent after hearing what lawyer Gao said. Even Li Tang, although he said he believed him, asked if he couldn't find any new evidence, so he couldn't do anything about Qiao Mudong.

Only He Yu insisted on finding evidence to prove that Qiao Mudong did not commit a crime.He didn't know what was wrong with him, he knew that Qiao Mudong had a violent personality, and it was not impossible to hit someone, but this time he firmly believed that Qiao Mudong didn't do it. Qiao Mudong who came back that night didn't seem to have touched anyone at all. And if he really hurt someone so badly, it's even more impossible for Qiao Mudong to pretend nothing happened and even hide it from him.

There was no other news about Qiao Mudong on Haiwan Street, but there were quite a few people who knew Lu Jincong.

Although He Yu knew about his sexual orientation in junior high school, he only knew how to study obediently since he was a child. He has never been in a gay bar, and only visited enough this time.As expected, many people knew Lu Jincong. The waiter working in the bar said that he often came here, and then left with various men.From their point of view, it was quite common for him to leave with Qiao Mudong that night.

He Yu asked: "Do you know who he has conflicts with?"

The waiter spread his hands, "They come out to play, and occasionally have friction with people, and it's normal to argue a few words, but I haven't heard of any serious conflicts with people."

He Yu could only say, "Thank you."

The waiter turned to leave, He Yu asked again: "Do you know any familiar friends he has?"

The waiter hesitated and said, "I don't know him very well, and I don't know."

He Yu knew that they probably didn't want to talk to him. After all, he was not a policeman, and the purpose of appearing here was to save Qiao Mudong.He could only search and ask again and again, wanting to know why Qiao Mudong met Lu Jincong that night and let him get into his car.

As for the eyewitness on Chengnan Avenue, the police refused to reveal his identity, and according to his records, what he saw was really limited. He only knew that he was a tall man driving a black off-road vehicle. As for the license plate number and even the car's He didn't know the model number at all, and even when asked what color the suspect was wearing, he wasn't sure.

A few days later, when He Yu was at a loss, he received a call.It was Wen Guanghua who called, and told He Yu straight to the point that Ling Qiang wanted to see him.

At this time, when Ling Qiang saw what his purpose was, He Yu didn't need to guess anymore, it must have something to do with Qiao Mudong's matter.

Wen Guanghua was quite polite to He Yu, and made an appointment with him. Before meeting Ling Yun and about to hang up the phone, Wen Guanghua hesitated, and said: "Mr. .”

He Yu said: "It's up to him whether it's good or not, his goodness Mu Dong can't afford it."

He Yu didn't waste time and drove directly to Lingyun.

Taking the elevator from the parking lot to the lobby on the first floor, He Yu suddenly felt that his mood was different every time he came to Lingyun. In the past, when he met Ling Qiang in the elevator, he would feel nervous and excited for a long time, but now he had to face Ling Qiang head-on. Not sure what to expect, but definitely not going to be a pleasant meeting.

Wen Guanghua was waiting for him in the hall, and greeted him politely, "Mr. He."

When He Yu was still in Lingyun, Wen Guanghua had been working here for quite some time.Although Wen Guanghua didn't remember He Yu as a small employee, He Yu still had some impressions of Wen Guanghua. In He Yu's memory, Wen Guanghua was a kind, open-minded and courageous middle-level supervisor at that time.

When we met again, Wen Guanghua still gave him that impression.

Wen Guanghua led He Yu to Ling Qiang's office in the elevator. After reaching the tenth floor, there were only the two of them left in the elevator. Yes, I didn't expect this to happen, I'm really sorry."

He Yu looked at him in surprise.

The elevator has reached the floor, Wen Guanghua pressed the door, neither of them went out, he said again: "I have asked someone to investigate, what is going on."

He Yu asked: "Who is Lu Jincong? Why did you let him approach Qiao Mudong?"

Wen Guanghua smiled wryly, "I may not be able to explain this for a while. We should meet Mr. Ling first, and I will explain it to you slowly."

Wen Guanghua walked ahead, knocked on the door of Ling Qiang's office, and said, "Mr. Ling, He Yu is here."

Ling Qiang's cold voice came from inside, "Come in."

Wen Guanghua opened the door, stood at the door and invited He Yu in, and then he closed the door outside.

He Yu walked in and saw Ling Qiang standing by the window, looking out, and didn't turn his head when he heard He Yu's footsteps coming in.

In my impression, this was the first time I came to this office. He Yu walked to the desk without saying a word, waiting for Ling Qiang to turn around and look at him.

In the end, Ling Qiang turned around, looked He Yu up and down, and said, "Sit down."

The two sat across a large desk, facing each other.

He Yu said, "May I ask what you want from me?"

Ling Qiang said slowly: "I've heard about Qiao Mudong." After finishing speaking, he "hummed" again, "This is his choice, leaving Ling Yun with you, and then making himself like this?"

He Yu said calmly: "He didn't make himself into something, he just chose his own life, and no one has the right to interfere."

Ling Qiang sneered: "The life you choose? Send yourself back to prison again?"

He Yu took a deep breath, "I don't know if it was an accident or someone had ulterior motives, but this has nothing to do with his choice. He was not wrong."

Ling Qiang suddenly patted the table again, the whole table trembled, and a pen placed on it even bounced, he said: "It's not wrong! He's wrong! It's all because of you, who led him to He took the wrong path and pestered him not to let him turn back, that's why he is what he is today!"

He Yu didn't yell at Ling Qiang, he just insisted: "He is not wrong, and I am not wrong. It is you, a self-righteous person who is wrong! You are not worthy of being a father at all!"

Wen Guanghua heard two people quarreling outside, and quickly asked Ling Qiang's secretary outside to pour two cups of tea, then pushed the door in by himself, and put the two cups of tea in front of He Yu and Ling Qiang.

Ling Qiang was almost furious, the veins on his forehead tensed up, as if he wanted to hit someone, but because Wen Guanghua came in suddenly, he held back his anger, and just looked at He Yu with cold eyes.

He Yu looked up at him with his head upright, without flinching at all.

Wen Guanghua closed the door, but did not go out. He stood beside the table and said, "Let's think about how to get Shao Qiao out."

"Hmph," Ling Qiang actually sneered, "Let him stay inside, let him wake up and see clearly what he wants."

Before He Yu could speak, Wen Guanghua said, "Mr. Ling, this is really inappropriate."

Ling Qiang said: "What's inappropriate? Didn't he choose this? Is there anything wrong with bearing the consequences?"

He Yu said, "Mr. Ling, is this how you treat your own son?"

Ling Qiang said: "Son like this, what am I going to do here? What? You want me to help get him out, don't you? Now, you can't think of any way, you will just run around like a headless chicken. Do you want me to help you?"

He Yu looked at him, "You're not doing me a favor, that's your son!"

"Hmph," Ling Qiang said, "on one condition, get away from him, the farther the better, then he will still be my son, otherwise, nothing will be discussed!"

He Yu raised his hands and rubbed his eyes with his palms.Wen Guanghua stood behind him and patted his shoulder lightly.

After He Yu put down his hands, his tone was still calm, and he asked: "Mr. Ling, you came to me today, that's all you want to say, isn't it? Tell me, if I am willing to leave Qiao Mudong, you will help him and let the police take care of him. He was released from the detention center to help him get rid of the crime, right?"

Ling Qiang actually nodded, "So what? After he comes out, when he comes back to take over Ling Yun, maybe he will thank you at that time. Thank you for letting him go the way he should go today."

"He won't," He Yu said, "You don't understand your son at all. You keep saying that you are good for him, but in fact you only see yourself, your Lingyun, and your money. In your opinion, Qiao Mudong is nothing but It is the continuation of your blood, not an independent person at all. Let me tell you, I will not regret it, and neither will Qiao Mudong. The only one who will regret it is you! I will not accept a single word of your request today. , it’s fine if you don’t want to save Qiao Mudong, we’re not bothered, even if he has to go to prison for ten years, I’ll just wait for him, and he’ll be 40 years old at that time, I hope you and your Ling Yun can continue to prosper, we We'll see."

After finishing speaking, He Yu stood up. He saw that Ling Qiang's face was still cold, but he couldn't restrain his hands trembling slightly, perhaps because he was too angry.

He Yu couldn't care about his mood at this time, he was still concerned about Qiao Mudong's affairs, and said to Ling Qiang: "In your eyes, I'm probably like an ant, which can be crushed to death with one finger. Thank you for being so kind." You haven't crushed me to death for a long time, if you regret it and really don't like me in the future, just kill me once, otherwise, even if there is still a breath left, I won't let go of your son, and I will cling to him for the rest of my life."

He Yu turned around and walked out the door, his mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, his breathing was a little short, and his face was a little red.Just as he walked to the front of the elevator, he heard Wen Guanghua calling his name.

Wen Guanghua chased after him, "Let me tell you about Lu Jincong in detail."

He Yu looked around.

Wen Guanghua said: "Come with me."

Wen Guanghua took He Yu to his office and asked He Yu to sit down.

He Yu asked: "Your boss said that you don't care about Qiao Mudong anymore, why do you need to help me?"

Wen Guanghua said: "I think you are right. He will regret it one day. I have been with him for almost 20 years. I don't want to see him go to that day."

He Yu's eyes fell on the table, and he asked after a while: "The time Qiao Mudong wounded someone and went to jail before, did he use this to blackmail Qiao Mudong?"

Wen Guanghua paused, "You also know about this?"

He Yudao: "Qiao Mudong told me. It seems that he really doesn't regard him as his son. Like I said, he just needs a bloodline heir to satisfy his ambition of controlling Lingyun for generations to come."

"He thinks wrong," Wen Guanghua said, "When he gets older, he will gradually understand what is most important to him."

He Yu said, "I hope so."

Wen Guanghua said: "About Young Master Qiao's case, what clues do you have now?"

He Yu was a little sad and shook his head, "Except for the evidence in the hands of the police, there is nothing else, but the lawyer said that the evidence of the police is not enough, and the procuratorate probably won't approve the arrest."

Wen Guanghua nodded, "I have also inquired about some information. The police are still collecting evidence. I hope there will be no new changes. As for Lu Jincong, I am really sorry. I was the one who recruited him to Lingyun at that time. He works by Qiao Mudong's side."

He Yu looked at him questioningly.

Wen Guanghua sighed, "It was at the behest of Mr. Ling. As you said, he didn't know his son at all, so he was a little naive, thinking that he would find a few young men and women to post on Qiao Mudong. Able to break the trust between you."

He Yu said: "He is measuring others by his character."

Wen Guanghua smiled and did not refute, but continued: "But I don't do things well. Lu Jincong's private life is very chaotic. He hangs out with different men in bars all the year round. He socializes widely and offends many people. He It may be that he fell in love with Qiao Shao and wanted to entangle him, but he didn't expect an accident."

He Yu asked him, "Is it really an accident?"

"To be honest," Wen Guanghua said, "If Qiao Shao did not do this, then what I can think of is that someone else who Lu Jincong offended did it, or it was so late, and he was there alone Being robbed and accidentally injured, Young Master Qiao is just a scapegoat."

He Yu shook his head, "The person who hit someone was driving a black off-road vehicle. It wasn't accidental, but he stopped on purpose, then got out of the car and moved his hands."

Wen Guanghua said: "It is very likely that Lu Jincong knows someone."

He Yu suddenly said: "Why is it impossible for someone Qiao Mudong to know?"

Wen Guanghua wondered, "What do you mean?"

He Yu said: "Could it be that someone deliberately framed Qiao Mudong?"

Wen Guanghua asked, "Who do you suspect?"

He Yudao: "Actually, I doubted Ling Qiang at first."

"Impossible," Wen Guanghua said, "It is impossible for Mr. Ling to do such a thing."

He Yu asked: "It's not Ling Qiang, what about the rest of the Ling family? Fu Chenshan? Zhou Xuelan? Ling Zhilu?"

Wen Guanghua shook his head and sighed softly, "I don't think so. Since it's about framing, how can the evidence be unclear and leave a space for Young Master Qiao to get out of trouble?"

He Yu was taken aback, yes, if someone really framed Qiao Mudong, then the eyewitness should clearly point out that the person he saw beating was Qiao Mudong, instead of ambiguously saying that he saw a tall A man driving a black off-road vehicle.Unless there is any other evidence in the future, wait to nail Qiao Mudong to death all at once.

Wen Guanghua could see that He Yu was too nervous, stood up and walked to him, and patted his shoulder lightly, "Take it easy, things may not be so bad, maybe the police can find new evidence to prove that Qiao Shao is innocent, don't push yourself too hard."

He Yu looked up at him, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

Wen Guanghua said: "If you need help, call me anytime."

Back home at night, He Yu took a shower and poured himself a cup of hot water.

He sat down at the desk and opened Qiao Mudong's laptop.Before going to the bar to watch the surveillance, he copied the video from Qiao Mudong's arrival at the bar to leaving, plus a total of nearly half an hour before and after. Now that he is free, he wants to watch it again.

He plugged in the USB flash drive, opened the playback software, and when he wanted to find the video file, he accidentally clicked on a file in the playback history.Soon, a candid video jumped out, and He Yu was stunned.

At the beginning of that video, Zhou Xuelan and He Wutong were sitting on the edge of a big bed in the hotel talking, and then, when the two began to undress, He Yu pressed pause.

He just couldn't watch it anymore.

He Yu has always known about the affair between He Wutong and Zhou Xuelan, but since he was almost killed by He Wutong that time, He Yu subconsciously rejected everything related to this person, and he was unwilling even to recall him, so naturally He never thought that he and Zhou Xuelan would leave these things when they were together.

But why is it on Qiao Mudong's computer?How did Qiao Mudong come here?

He Yu was a little confused in his mind. Looking at the frozen picture, he suddenly had a crazy idea. He wanted to send this video to Ling Qiang, and told him that he had something to do with the Ling family, so that he could call He was far away from him and Qiao Mudong.Immediately, He Yu felt that his idea was ridiculous, and it was really absurd to use the video of He Wutong and Zhou Xuelan to blackmail Ling Qiang.Those two men, although they didn't want to admit it, but one was his biological father and the other was Qiao Mudong's biological father.It's the most disgusting thing in the world.

He Yu finally turned off the video, turned on the surveillance, and watched carefully.

There was nothing to see ahead, so he pulled directly to the moment when Qiao Mudong appeared, saw him park the car, and then entered the bar. After less than 3 minutes, he came out of the bar, smoked on the side of the road, and was held by Lu Jincong's arm, The two seemed to talk ambiguously, then got into the car together and drove away.

The whole process was normal. He Yu saw the black off-road vehicle disappear from the screen. After at most 20 seconds, another black off-road vehicle flashed past.

Black...off-road?

He Yu turned the screen back and saw Qiao Mudong and Lu Jincong standing on the side of the road talking, a tall man was standing not far behind them and looking at them.When the two of them got into the car, that person disappeared from the screen, and soon a black off-road vehicle drove from behind.

It is very possible that the man saw Qiao Mudong and the others getting into the car, and then drove the car himself, chasing after them.
