"Hello, hello?" Xia Jun's call came from the phone, and it kept echoing in the empty bathroom, "Master, master? Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Tao Fengche took a deep breath, stood up and stepped out of the bathtub, bent down and picked up the phone from the ground.The fall was too hard just now, and the cracks on the screen were densely covered like spider webs. Then he stretched out his hand and swipe on the screen twice—although the response was a little slow, it was still usable, and it seemed that he hadn’t hit the inner screen.

It's a misfortune.

Tao Fengche sighed silently, and wiped off the water droplets on the screen with a towel. At the same time, Xia Jun asked with concern from the receiver: "Master, did something happen just now?"

"I was washing up, and my mobile phone was placed on the washstand. The countertop was too slippery, and I accidentally dropped it on the floor."

Tao Fengche turned on the loudspeaker and replied half-truthfully. After learning that it was the mobile phone that made the loud noise and not Tao Fengche himself, Xia Jun finally felt relieved.

"Thanks for your hard work, things are done well, it's too late now, you can find a hotel nearby to sleep for a night, and come back after waking up tomorrow morning, I will transfer the room fee to you later, and ask me to reimburse you for the air ticket when you come back. After Tao Fengche finished speaking, he was still a little worried, and added, "After the original vacation is over, you can go back to Tao's house to sell the vacation. Don't tell anyone what happened today."

"Don't worry, young master, I know the severity."

After receiving Xia Jun's affirmative answer, Tao Fengche finally hung up the phone with confidence, and after a few difficult operations on the broken screen, he clicked on the social software.

He originally wanted to transfer 2000 yuan to Xia Jun, but he hesitated for a while when entering the password, and finally clicked back and changed the amount to [-]——the bank account under his name is still in freezing mode, and [-] a month The amount of living expenses has not changed. Fortunately, I have not spent much money in the past few months. The small amount of gold I bought for fun on the payment platform was also thrown away two days ago, but the total sum is less than [-]. of available funds...let's save some money.

After transferring the money, Tao Fengche put the phone on the shelf beside the bathtub, and ran back into the bathtub exhaustedly.

Before the interrogation officially started, Liu Tianlei, who was under intensive care in the ICU ward, actually got a fork and committed suicide. Normal operation, and then thinking of the high-ranking mastermind behind the scenes in Liu Tianlei's mouth, Sui Yuesheng's suspicion is too great to ignore.

But Tao Fengche was always unwilling to doubt Sui Yuesheng, driven by a burst of inexplicable emotions.

My brother may not know about artificial pheromones. He just thought that someone was reselling medicines. He didn’t think it was a big deal. He was too busy after returning from a business trip. He accidentally forgot. Where did Liu Tianlei find his steel fork...

But how is it possible?Sui Yuesheng was so thorough in his work, and Liu Tianlei's ward was completely surrounded. Based on Tao Fengche's understanding of the family's bodyguards, he would wish that even the mosquitoes that flew into the ward would be searched first.

This assumption doesn't make sense at all, and the only clue he got now directly shows Sui Yuesheng's suspicion.

Tao Fengche's mind was in such a mess as if he had been carrying the headphone cable in his trouser pocket for half a month, and he couldn't figure it out, let alone untie it. Tao Fengche couldn't figure it out, and then even his temples throbbed. It looked like someone was drilling a hole in it with an awl.

He had a headache so bad that he was about to vomit, his whole body was dizzy, and he even had the rare thought of escaping.

——There are so many things, the mystery is so big, I can't figure it out, I have a splitting headache, I might as well drown myself.

He suddenly had a weird idea, and then artificially sank himself into the bottom of the water.

But when the remaining air in his lungs was exhausted, he finally stuck his head out of the water.The pain in his chest was as if it was about to explode. He grabbed the edge of the bathtub and coughed repeatedly. It rang again.

Why are you on the phone again?

He's bored enough, can't he be left alone for a while?

Tao Fengche's brows were tightened, his lips were pursed a little white, and he held the phone in front of his face with displeasure, and glanced at the notification of the incoming call——Wang Yuan.

After all, he and Wang Yuan have been friends for so many years. Glancing at the time at the top of the screen, he had a rough guess about Wang Yuan's intentions - calling at this time, or he couldn't finish his homework and wanted to borrow homework to copy. ; or the homework is finished and I want to make an appointment to play games together.

Tao Fengche seldom rejects Wang Yuan, but he is really in a bad mood today. It's okay if it's the former, but he really has no interest in playing games.But this kid Wang Yuan has always been unable to read his eyes, and he was very difficult to deal with. Just thinking about it, Tao Fengche felt his temples start to throb again, and he didn't really want to answer his call.

But a friend is a friend after all, and his distress has nothing to do with Wang Yuan, who even helped him a lot...

Tao Fengche was struggling violently in his heart, just at this moment, the phone suddenly stopped ringing.

— Well, then it's not that he didn't answer the phone.

If Wang Yuan asked tomorrow, he would just say that he was taking a shower and his phone was charging in the bedroom, so he didn't hear it.

Tao Fengche thought of an excellent excuse in an instant, and put the phone back to its original place with peace of mind, but within five seconds of silence, the phone sang again——Wang Yuan relentlessly once again Called over.

... There is no escape.

Tao Fengche sighed silently, and at the same time he pressed the answer button and the speaker, he was also prepared to tell Wang Yuan that he was unwell if he made an appointment to play a game, but he was upset today, even though he tried his best to warn himself not to To vent his anger, when he spoke, his tone still seemed a little impatient: "Hello?"

If it were someone else, hearing Tao Fengche's tone, he would have already clenching his tail and acting as a human being in trepidation, but Wang Yuan, who obviously lacked a root in his brain, obviously did not belong to the category of "ordinary people".

He didn't hear Tao Fengche's nasty voice at all, he spoke quickly and yelled in a high-pitched tone: "Brother Tao, I found out!"

"Ah?" Tao Fengche's face was blurred by the bragging that pierced the screen, and he couldn't even react for a while, subconsciously replied, "What did you find out?"

"That's the account!" Wang Yuan happily answered.

Tao Fengche immediately became stagnant for breathing.

Before he had time to speak, there was a crackling sound from the other end of the phone. Tao Fengche guessed that Wang Yuan was probably looking for a water cup. Cool sigh.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yuan's triumphant voice also sounded.

"At that time this afternoon, that private bank might be under system maintenance, or it might be because of something else. In short, there was a small loophole in it. I kept watching it, and immediately seized the opportunity to sneak in. Zhang Xinyu's account The several large expenditures in the book were all paid to the same payee, and I followed the clues to check it after I wrote it down."

"Guess what?" Wang Yuan said with a smile, "It's still a private bank account, but that bank is located in country A."

Country A.

Tao Fengche's eyes darkened for a while, followed by heart palpitations, as if he had climbed to the top of a mountain after twelve hours, but was pushed down from the top of the mountain, the overwhelming feeling of weightlessness almost overwhelmed him. He crushes.

Country A, the largest country in the Western Continent, is also the largest location where Tao Fengche and his school hold their summer camp this year.After Sui Yuesheng heard this notice, he casually mentioned that he had studied at X University next door to Z University.

Tao Fengche's grandfather opened up the Tao family's industry and market in the Western Continent. The old man brought many people to fight with him, and many of them took over overseas markets, but there was absolutely no one in country A—— In Kyushu, his son was in charge of the production base in country C, and the situation of the other veterans was similar.

Country A is Country A after all, and the branch there has always been firmly under the direct control of the Tao family.

Ever since Tao Fengche learned that Sui Yuesheng had studied at X University, and that Tao Zhixing intended to train him to help him, he had solved the puzzle in his mind called "Why did Sui Yuesheng take over Tao so quickly?" ——When he was studying in country A, Tao Zhixing probably asked him to take over some of the branch's business.

But now, the account used by that secret payee, the "master behind the scenes" in Liu Tianlei's mouth, happens to be from country A.

Everything is full of doubts, all kinds of clues point to Sui Yuesheng, and Tao Fengche can't pretend to see it even if he wants to.

...But, the account in country A doesn't necessarily have to be born every month, does it? Country A has hundreds of millions of people.A voice from the bottom of his heart quietly poked his head out, speaking weakly but firmly.

Tao Fengche was silent for a long time, Wang Yuan didn't receive a reply for a long time, he threw the empty Coke bottle aside with some doubts, and joked casually: "What's the matter, Brother Tao, why don't you talk? I'm scared by how awesome I am." arrive?"

"...It's really powerful." Tao Fengche finally opened his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he organized his words, "Wang Yuan, I want to ask you something, have you been busy recently?"

"Busy, I'm so busy! It's not like you don't know that I've lost almost [-] places in the basic exam, and my dad can't get back the cowhide that my dad blows out. I wish I could take a knife and kill me, an unfilial son, for saying this I didn’t do well in the monthly exam at the end of the month, so I peeled off my skin..." Wang Yuan rolled his huge eyes, poured out his bitterness, and suddenly became happy again, "But next Thursday is the Mid-Autumn Festival, plus the weekend , a total of four days off, it should be okay."

As he was talking, he finally realized something was wrong in Tao Fengche's tone belatedly, and tentatively asked, "What's the matter, Brother Tao, do you need something else?"

He was ready to be teased back by Tao Fengche, but he didn't expect the latter to simply give a "yes".

Wang Yuan was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He was wondering if Tao Fengche had taken the wrong medicine, and the latter said, "Can I trouble you to check the owner of that overseas account as soon as possible?"

"Why, what's the matter?" Wang Yuan seldom heard Tao Fengche speak in this tone, so he asked cautiously.

Tao Fengche thought for a while, didn't tell him anything related to Sui Yuesheng, blurred the point, and said: "The only witness died unexpectedly."

Wang Yuan was taken aback: "Is...is it related to Uncle?"

"Yes." Tao Fengche nodded slightly, "The only clue I have now is the account."

"I understand." Wang Yuan pondered for a while, made up his mind, and nodded his promise: "Leave it to me, brother Tao, don't worry."

"……it is good."

Wang Yuan was so knowledgeable and interesting, he didn't talk nonsense, he just reassured him a few words, then hung up the phone, the phone screen turned on and off, Tao Fengche picked up the water in the bathtub, and rubbed his face vigorously.

He stayed in the bathroom for too long, the water in the bathtub was already cold, but Tao Fengche couldn't even turn on the tap to add some hot water.

After a sigh that seemed to last forever, he leaned against the bathtub as if exhausted, his face was full of depression, except for a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars.
