On February 18, 201x, Hong Xing's younger brother Hong Li and his family all served beside Hong Li who was about to pass away. Hong Li also relied on the support of his brother Hong Xing to develop into a wealthy industrialist.
Hong Li's eldest daughter, Hong Xiangsong, is over 50 years old. She is the loneliest member of the Hong Li family. Because she lost her husband early in life, her only son Zuo Qing has been abroad for many years and has not returned home yet.
Behind Hong Xiangsong stood Hong Li's second daughter, Hong Xiangzhu, her husband Zhu Yin, and his children, Zhu Wenwu and Zhu Wenye. His son Zhu Wenwu was twenty-eight years old, and his daughter Zhu Wenye was twenty-two years old.
Then there are Hong Li's third daughter, Hong Xiangmei, her husband Xin Ji, and their child Xin Youzhi. Xin Youzhi is one year younger than Zhu Wenwu and is twenty-seven years old this year.
The above eight people, plus Zuo Qing who has not yet returned home, are all people related to Hong Li by blood, and these people are all members of Hong Li's family.
However, when Hong Li was dying, in addition to all eight people present, there was also a very important person to Hong Li. This character is Zhu Shi, the orphan of Hong Li's benefactor. Zhu Shi was twenty-six years old at the time.
Although everyone was waiting beside the dying Hong Li, there was no sadness on their faces. Except for Zhu Shi, everyone showed an anxious look.
As soon as the frail Hong Li opened his eyes, their eyes were full of suspicion and uneasiness. In addition to following Hong Li's gaze, they also kept spying on each other's expressions.
In fact, the reason why they are restless is because Hong Li has not yet confessed his last words. Everyone is worried about who will inherit such a huge Hongli Industrial Group after his death? And how to distribute such a huge inheritance?
Seeing that Hong Li's breath was getting weaker and weaker, the eldest daughter Hong Xiangsong finally couldn't bear it anymore. She leaned forward and said, "Dad, do you have any last words? Say it quickly!"
I don't know if it wasn't Hong Xiangsong's words that woke up Hong Li, but he barely opened his eyes.
"Dad, if you have any last words to say, just say them quickly! Everyone wants to know what last words you want to tell us."
Hong Li quickly understood what Hong Xiangsong meant. He smiled slightly, raised a pair of fingers and pointed at the person sitting at the bottom seat.
That person is the Hong Li family's legal advisor, lawyer Gu Gong.
Lawyer Gu Gong noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he coughed slightly and said, "Hong Li's will was indeed entrusted to me for safekeeping."
Lawyer Gu Gong's words immediately detonated the time bomb. Everyone except Zhu Shi stared at Lawyer Gu Gong in disbelief.
"Is there a will?"
Zhu Yin, Hong Xiangzhu's husband, muttered to himself in a hurried tone.
After muttering, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead - even though it was still a freezing February day.
"When will the will be announced? Should it be as soon as dad returns home from the west..."
Hong Xiangmei's husband Xinji also looked very anxious and asked lawyer Gu Gong eagerly.
"No, according to Mr. Hong Li's wishes. This will cannot be announced until Zuo Qing returns home."
"Zuo Qing?"
Zhu Wenwu, Hong Xiangzhu's son, had an uneasy look on his face and murmured.
"But, if Zuo Qing has no way to come back... Although it seems unlucky to say this, but..."
When Hong Xiangsong heard what Zhu Wenwu said, he immediately glared at him.
Hong Xiangmei, who was on the side, ignored her sister's expression and said quickly: "Yes! Although Zuo Qing is still alive, he is still in the United States after all! What's more, I don't know what will happen before he returns to China!"
"If this happens..."
Lawyer Gu Gong cleared his throat again and said: "If Zuo Qing does not come back, the will will be announced on the first anniversary of Mr. Hong Li's death. As for the period before the will is announced, the Hong Li family's career and property All management will be handled by the Hongli Foundation.”
After everyone listened to what Lawyer Gu Gong said, they all had their own thoughts and remained silent. Only Hong Xiangsong looked at Hong Li's face with eyes mixed with hope, uneasiness, and hatred.
Hong Li still smiled slightly and glanced at each person in turn with dull eyes. Finally, his eyes stopped on Zhu Shi and stopped moving.
The doctor who had been checking Hong Li's pulse announced to everyone in a calm tone: "Mr. Hong Li has left."
In this way, Hong Li drew the final end of his legendary life at the age of eighty-one.
Looking back now, the moment he left was also the beginning of the bloodshed in Hongli's family...

About eight months after Hong Li’s death, Tian Chunda, captain of the Nanguang City Criminal Investigation Detachment, received a report letter with the following content:
Recently, an extraordinary incident is about to break out in the Hongli family, which is extremely worrying. And this extraordinary incident is the bloody case that Captain Tian is best at handling.
Every time I think about this, I feel so worried that I can't sleep a wink all day long. If the situation continues to develop, I am afraid it will turn into an unmanageable tragedy. To prevent this, Captain Tian is requested to go to Red Leaf Valley to investigate in person.
When Captain Tian arrives at Hongye Valley, please hang up the phone to the Gu Gong Law Firm indicated on the envelope. The author will visit immediately and report the details.
Because the letter mentioned that a bloody case was about to occur in the Hongli family, and that someone would die as a result, but unless the person who wrote the letter was the murderer, how could he predict such a thing?
But having said that, people who plan to kill people should not tell others about such plans, so the author should not be the murderer.
So, did he accidentally learn that someone had a murder plan? But if that were the case, he could have directly hinted at those people whose lives were about to be in danger! Even if it is not convenient for him to tell the police or face to face with the client, he can still notify the client by writing an anonymous letter!
But there was a paragraph in the letter that caught Tian Chunda's attention. That is--
If things continue to develop...
In other words, this weird event has now happened.
Another reason Tian Chunda is concerned is that the person who wrote this letter is a person who works in a law firm.
Generally speaking, people who work in law firms are usually lawyers. If the other party is a lawyer, it may be possible to know other people's family secrets or find out about this murder plan.
Tian Chunda studied this letter repeatedly and also tried to read the "Biography of Hong Li" enclosed with the letter. When he learned about the complicated family situation of the Hongli family from the book, he immediately became very interested in this incident.
Hong Li's will could not be made public until his eldest grandson Zuo Qing returned home, which also made Tian Cunda curious, so after he hurriedly dealt with the matters at hand, he brought his assistant Detective Hao Dong to Hongye Valley.
