Duan Qian here drove directly to Raffles City, because the senior executive of the intelligence organization lived in the Ascott Service Apartment here. This is also the core location of the mountain city, where he can overlook the scenery on both sides of the mountain city.
When Duan Qian came to Ascott, Wu Zhe was already waiting downstairs. When he saw Duan Qian, he quickly greeted him: "Boss, they are already upstairs."
Duan Qian asked in a deep voice: "How many people did they come this time? Have you talked to them?"
Wu Zhe shook his head and said: "I haven't talked, and I don't know how many people came. I just know that the person who answered the phone was a woman. They said they knew you were in Shancheng, so they came to Shancheng to look for you. If you were in Xishu, they would I went to Xishu to find you."
Duan Qian nodded and said nothing. After all, he spent 10 million on this trivial matter. It is better to give the money first and then do the work. If you can't find out the truth behind the scenes after spending so much money, then this organization is not as mysterious as it is rumored to be. .
Of course, this organization will ensure that it can be checked when collecting money. They will analyze the employer's needs. If they cannot meet the needs, they will not collect the money.
Wu Zhe asked the manager to take them directly to the door of the room. After the manager was sent away, Wu Zhe rang the doorbell.
It didn't take long for the door to the room to be opened, and the person who opened the door was a plain-looking woman. She was average-looking and not tall. She even dressed like a rural woman. They really didn't dare to touch this woman. The image is combined with that of the mysterious intelligence organization.
The middle-aged woman was not surprised by Duan Qian and Wu Zhe's surprise. She just stretched out her hand and said: "Mr. Duan, what's inside?"
please. "
This is a one-bedroom suite with a fully equipped kitchen and living room. This is the case for serviced apartments like Ascott, so many people who like to stay for a long time will choose Ascott.
When Duan Qian and Wu Zhe sat down, the middle-aged woman brought them a bottle of water, and then sat on the single sofa next to them.
She looked at Duan Qian and said, "Mr. Duan, let's get straight to the point. The matter you asked us to investigate has already been concluded. In fact, this matter is not difficult. It's just that Mr. Duan is not careful. Mr. Duan should be more careful. , this ten million won’t be spent.”
Duan Qian said calmly: "The money has already been spent, there is no use talking about it. Besides, I, Duan Qian, will not be stingy with the money I should spend. Now you just tell me who the final result is and who is behind it. The Lin family's Who is behind it, who is behind the Zhao family in Xishu?"
The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes and took a deep breath and said, "The Su family."
When he heard the word Su family, Duan Qian suddenly stood up from the sofa. He expected that it might be the Zhao family, but he never expected that it would be the Su family. This result greatly exceeded his expectations. , how could it be the Su family?
Duan Qian asked in disbelief: "How is it possible? Why the Su family?"
The middle-aged woman slowly explained: "What Mr. Duan may not know is that Mr. Lin has a granddaughter named Lin Xi. This Lin Xi is the daughter of Lin Wang, the second eldest son of the Lin family. She also has an identity that not many people know, and that is She is the girlfriend of Su Qin, the eldest son of the Su family."
"What?" This news shocked Duan Qian again. How could they not know such important news?
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said: "This news is not
It was difficult to find out, but Mr. Duan was too careless. Perhaps Mr. Duan did not expect that the key figure of the Lin family was actually Lin Xi. We also found out the matter because we knew that the Lin family had transferred all the shares to Lin Xi's name some time ago. the truth. "
Duan Qian's face changed slightly and he said, "You said that the Lin family transferred all their shares to Lin Xi? Why didn't I know about this?"
"The Lin family has hidden this very deeply, through various cross-shareholdings. The ultimate actual controller is Lin Xi. It is difficult for ordinary people to find out. Obviously the Lin family does not want outsiders to know, but it is easy for us. "The middle-aged woman explained truthfully.
Duan Qian didn't expect, he really didn't expect, that the key person in all this was actually Lin Xi. He focused all his attention on Mr. Lin and the two brothers Lin Han and Lin Wang, but he didn't care about Lin Xi at all. Who Knowing that the Lin family’s final trump card will be
This Linxi.
Duan Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me about Lin Xi."
The middle-aged woman took a sip of water and began to explain: "Lin Xi is Lin Wang's daughter. She is currently studying in her third year at Chang'an University. Su Qin, the eldest son of the Su family, also studied at Chang'an University after returning to China. They should have gotten together at this time. The Lin family They didn't know it at first, but they had always hoped that Lin Xi and Julien Ye from the Yu family would get together. Not only were they childhood sweethearts, but they were also engaged to each other. The Yu family and the Lin family were family friends, so they both hoped that Lin Xi and Yu Lianye would get together. They are together."
"It's a pity that Lin Xi met Su Qin, the eldest young master of the Su family. It's just that at that time, the Lin family didn't know Su Qin's identity. Even in the country,
Not many people know Su Qin's identity. The news that the eldest son of the Su family has returned to China is the top secret of the Su family. Last year, the Lin family knew that Lin Xi was in love, so they forced Lin Xi to break up with Su Qin, and even put Lin Xi under house arrest. Later, when the eldest son of the Su family found out, he went to Xishu and first taught Yu Lianye of the Yu family a lesson. After a pause, the Yu family took the initiative to terminate the engagement, severely slapping the Lin family in the face. The Lin family didn't know what was going on at the time. The eldest young master of the Su family came to visit them. They were still polite and indifferent. They even explicitly forbade Lin Xi and Su Qin from being together. The final result was self-evident. . "The middle-aged woman finished everything in one breath.
Not to mention that Duan Qian listened to the inside story with gusto, and even Wu Zhe next to him felt very comfortable listening to it. The Lin family is really awesome. Su Qin is the eldest son of the Su family. It's really cool that Lin Xi can find such a boyfriend. I don’t know if this is the blessing that the Lin family has cultivated over many lifetimes.
The most important thing is that the blind and blind Lin family refuses to accept this blessing. Do you think this Lin family is too bastard?
Wu Zhe couldn't help but ask: "What was the result?"
The middle-aged woman said calmly: "The result is that the eldest young master of the Su family taught everyone in the Lin family a lesson. No one, old or young, showed any mercy. He almost led the Su family's tombkeepers to destroy the Lin family. However, the Lin family later The information was sealed very tightly, so no one knew about it.”
Wu Zhe silently nodded in admiration and said, "This eldest young master of the Su family is really domineering."
But after saying that, I felt a little regretful, because now their opponent is the Su family, how can they achieve other people's ambitions?
Are you angry?
After hearing this, Duan Qian frowned and said, "The Lin family is really short-sighted. I really don't know how they have survived until now. After all, the eldest young master of the Su family is the eldest young master of the entire Su family. Even if he crushes the Lin family, he will still have nothing to lose." No one dares to say anything about him. But listening to what you said, shouldn’t the Su family have a lot of grievances against the Lin family? How can they support the Lin family? "
The organization took 10 million, and customers had to answer all questions. The middle-aged woman said impatiently: "This is because of the emergence of your Duan family, especially your brother Duan Kun, who played a big role."
Duan Qian looked unhappy and said, "What does this have to do with my brother?"
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said: "Of course it does matter, and it matters a lot. When your Duan family sent him to Xishu to deal with the Lin family, he could actually deal with anyone else in the Lin family, maybe not even the eldest young master of the Su family. Looking at the Lin family, he should never have attacked Lin Xi, which directly angered the eldest young master of the Su family. Moreover, we have investigated and found that the eldest young master of the Su family happened to be in Xishu when your brother died. , so we suspect that the death of your brother was actually done by the eldest son of the Su family. The tombkeepers of the Su family are not vegetarians, and it is easy to kill someone."
Duan Qian was very shocked after hearing this. He said with an ugly face: "You said that my brother actually died at the hands of the eldest young master of the Su family?"
"We can't be sure, but it's likely to be the case. The Lin family doesn't have that strength yet, so only the Su family has it. Furthermore, the power of the Su family's mausoleum guardians is the most powerful among the secret organizations under the eight aristocratic families. Our organization There are several high-level officials from the intelligence department of the Su Family Tomb Keepers, so
Only then can we find out. "The middle-aged woman said bluntly, and she didn't seem to be afraid of any outsiders knowing the news.
If it was the Lin family, Duan Qian still had thoughts of revenge, but if it was the Su family, Duan Qian really didn't know how to avenge his brother.
The Su family is not the Lin family, let alone their Duan family. Even the Li family faces the Su family.
You have to be careful, because the Su family has now surpassed the Li family in strength and has become the largest family in the federation.
The middle-aged woman then went straight to the point and said: "What happened next is very simple. Mr. Duan can figure it out. The Lin family took the blame for the eldest son of the Su family. The Duan family began to take full action against the Lin family. The Lin family insisted not to I asked the eldest young master of the Su family for help, and the eldest young master of the Su family probably added a lot of conditions because of Lin Xi's favor, and finally agreed to help."
After Duan Qian came to his senses, he said, "I can understand the Lin family's affairs, but I don't understand the Zhao family's affairs. Why is it still the Su family behind this?"
The middle-aged woman said in a deep voice: "How come the Zhao family in Xishu was recognized by the Zhao family in Beijing? We don't understand the intrigue here, but what we can be sure of is that the eldest young master of the Su family played a role in it. The eldest young master of the Su family and Zhao The relationship between the family is very good, and he met Zhao Taiqing several times when he was in Xishu, so we can only guess this, otherwise how can we explain it? "
Duan Qian thought about it. If Zhao Taiqing had never met Su Qin, it might not have anything to do with these things. But they had met so many times, plus the relationship between Su Qin and the Zhao family in Shangjing. He guessed that Zhao Taiqing took action against Uncle Dong just for the sake of Help the Su family.
Because Uncle Dong
After helping the Duan family deal with the Lin family, Zhao Taiqing is now helping the Lin family to contain Uncle Dong. It makes sense and everyone can figure it out.
After Duan Qian heard the cause and effect, he sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work. At least you let me figure out who was behind the scenes."
The middle-aged woman said thoughtfully: "Since Mr. Duan spent 10 million to buy information, we don't mind telling Mr. Duan more information. That is, the internal divisions in the Su family are serious. Everything seems to be in peace. Now But there are many crises. It is obvious that the behavior of the eldest young master of the Su family is only a personal behavior and not the behavior of the Su family as a whole. Therefore, the Duan family does not have to worry about anything. As long as Mr. Duan persuades the Li family to help, the matter will be solved. The specific matters can be discussed with the Li family, who may know more than we do."
Duan Qian said thoughtfully: "Thank you, I know what to do."
At this time, the middle-aged woman slowly stood up to see the guests off and said, "Then I won't stay with Mr. Duan any longer. Mr. Duan will leave slowly without seeing you off."
Duan Qian and Wu Zhe stood up and left the room. On the way back, Wu Zhe couldn't help but said: "Boss, it turns out that the big boss behind all this is the Su family, so what should we do next?"
Duan Qian frowned and said, "You go back and wait for the news. I'll think about it and then decide."
Wu Zhe drove away from Ascott Apartments alone without disturbing Duan Qian, while Duan Qian asked the driver to go home directly.
It was now, what choice did he have? When he heard that the big boss behind the scenes was the Su family, there were only two ways left for Duan Qian.
One way is to abandon the Lin family and withdraw from Shuzhou, and never want to get involved in Shuzhou again. The other way is to go to Shangjing and seek help from the Li family.
.
The Duan family has already paid so much, so he is really unwilling to let him withdraw from Shuzhou. However, facing the Lin family and the Zhao family of Xishu, who are secretly helped by the Su family, he is obviously no match, so he just I can ask the Li family for help.
Although he is very reluctant, what can he do? Now, no matter how powerful he is, he can't save himself. This is the only way he can go.
Since there was only one way, Duan Gan could only choose this way. He took a deep breath and finally decided to put down his dignity and go to Shangjing to seek help from the Li family. The first thing he had to do now was to persuade Li Mingyue to go with him.
He would definitely not be able to open his mouth. He would have to have Li Mingyue's assistance. The couple together could convince the two brothers of the Li family.
Thinking of this, Duan Qian felt that he had been neglecting Li Mingyue recently, so he asked the driver to go to the nearest flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers, and then went to Li Mingyue's favorite dessert shop to buy a cake before getting ready to go home.
When Duan Qian came back, Li Mingyue had already finished dinner. Now his son and daughter were not around. His son rarely came back after he got married and started a business. His daughter even married to Yangcheng and only came back a few days a year.
In addition, Duan Qian not only socializes a lot but also travels frequently, especially since he has been staying in Xishu for a long time during this period.
, so Li Mingyue is empty, lonely and cold most of the time.
Originally knowing that Duan Qian was back, Li Mingyue arranged for the kitchen to cook a lot of Duan Qian's favorite dishes. She was worried that Duan Qian would not be able to sleep well without eating or drinking in Xishu. Who knew that Duan Qian would leave without even saying hello when he came back? This made Li Mingyue very sad.
had dinner
Later, Li Mingyue made an appointment with a full-body SPA technician to come to her home. This was the top SPA shop in the mountain city that she often went to. Of course, the only people who could go here were the ladies of the mountain city. However, Li Mingyue was too lazy to hang out with them, so she just put her in there every time. The technician is invited to the home.
When Li Mingyue was doing spa, Duan Qian opened the door and walked in. Li Mingyue was startled and thought it was someone. After all, she was naked now and had already told no one to come in.
When he saw it was Duan Qian, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't you go out? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Duan Qian knew that Li Mingyue had a full-body spa twice a month and would invite technicians to his home. Of course, the technician was a woman, otherwise Duan Qian would not be at ease.
It seems that it is normal for men to find female technicians, but if women find male technicians, something feels wrong.
Duan Gan smiled and explained: "Some urgent matter happened just now, so I rushed over to deal with it. Now I'm back after finishing it. I haven't seen you when I came back this morning. I've been busy and didn't care about you during this period. I'll come back early today and be at home." Accompany you."
Li Mingyue said angrily: "You still care about me and accompany me. I thought you had forgotten that you still have a wife at home, and you only care about those little girls outside."
Duan Qian felt Li Mingyue's resentment. He smiled and coaxed: "You don't know if I have any Yingying Yanyan outside?"
Duan Qian's subtext is very obvious. If I had a baby, you might have taken care of me long ago. If I have any signs of this, you will strangle me in the cradle. How dare I?
"You have been in Xishu recently, how do I know?" Li
Mingyue snorted coldly.
Duan Qian really wanted something from Li Mingyue, otherwise he would really not want to talk nonsense with Li Mingyue, because he knew the significance of Li Mingyue to the Duan family, and to put it bluntly, it was still valuable.
Duan Qian directly changed the subject and said: "I bought you a bouquet of flowers and your favorite dessert. You can eat it later when you are done."
Li Mingyue loves Duan Qian deeply, so Duan Qian is easy to coax Li Mingyue. As long as he lowers his profile and speaks sweet words, Li Mingyue can be fooled. This has been the case for so many years.
As expected, Li Mingyue felt much better after hearing these words. Her attitude softened a lot and she asked softly: "You are back so soon, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Yeah, I haven't eaten yet. I'm about to go to the kitchen to see what's available." Duan Qian said a little aggrieved.
Li Mingyue said quickly: "I asked the kitchen to cook all the dishes you like to eat today. Who knew that you went out just after you came back, and I didn't even have time to tell you. If you come back later, I will make the kitchen completely empty. I’ll keep it all for you now, and I’ll just take a few bites.”
"My wife is nice to me. I'm going to eat first." Duan Gan said with a smile.
Then he left the room. When he walked out of the room, the smile on Duan Qian's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by eyes full of disgust. This was his true reaction in recent years.
Duan Qian was eating alone in the restaurant. When he was almost finished, Li Mingyue came out from the spa.
Li Mingyue slowly walked into the restaurant in her pajamas, came directly behind Duan Qian, put her arms around Duan Qian's neck and said with a smile: "Husband, you are thoughtful, thank you for buying me flowers, and
I like to eat desserts. "
Duan Qian put down his chopsticks and stroked Li Mingyue's hair and said, "Isn't this what we should be doing? We are an old married couple. How can we say thank you? Even if I want to say thank you, I have to thank you. Thank you for preparing this table for me." A sumptuous dinner. Fortunately, I’m back from work. How sad would you be if I didn’t come back?”
Duan Qian's emotional intelligence is not low, and it is more than enough to deal with Li Mingyue. This rich young lady has been coaxed here for so many years, but she didn't know that she married a man who didn't love her, and this man
My love has long been left at Shuimu University.
Li Mingyue slowly sat on Duan Gan's lap and said, "This is what I, as a wife, should do. My duty is to take good care of you. You are the backbone of our family."
The couple really treated each other with respect and felt like familiar strangers. Perhaps only Li Mingyue felt that Duan Qian's words were sincere.
Duan Qian was obviously a little resistant, but he could only let Li Mingyue sit on his lap. He suppressed his disgust and touched Li Mingyue's smooth thigh and said, "Unknowingly, we have been married for thirty years, and we are still an old couple." .”
Li Mingyue also sighed: "Yes, after thirty years, I have become a yellow-faced woman."
Duan Qian smiled and said: "How can you be a yellow-faced woman? In my heart, you will always be the difficult little witch from Shuimu University."
Hearing this, Li Mingyue couldn't help laughing. She was really crazy at that time and no one could control her until she met Duan Qian.
At this moment, Duan Qian felt that the groundwork was almost complete, so he changed the subject and said, "Honey, how is the old man doing lately?"
"you
Talk about my dad? "Li Mingyue said casually.
Duan Qian nodded and said, "Of course it's our dad."
"What can he do? He's still the same as before. If you ask me, it's better to pull out the oxygen tube earlier so that he won't suffer anymore. But the boss and the second kid can't pee in a pot. I don't have any say now. I can only I will continue to lie in the ICU of the hospital." At this point, Li Mingyue sighed.
Duan Gan smiled and said, "No matter what, he is our dad. As long as he is alive, you will have your dad. If he really leaves, you will probably be sadder than anyone else."
Li Mingyue said with some sadness: "Well, that's what you said. I'm just saying it."
Duan Qian took advantage of the situation and said: "Honey, you haven't returned to Shangjing for the Chinese New Year. How about I accompany you back to Shangjing in the next two days? I guess you miss our dad too."
During the Chinese New Year, the Duan family was in chaos because of Duan Qian's death, and the Li family was in chaos because of Li Chengfeng's death, so Li Mingyue did not return to Beijing.
When Duan Qian finished speaking, Li Mingyue's eyes turned cold for a moment. She finally understood why Duan Qian was so attentive today. It turned out that he was asking for something from her, or in other words, from the Li family, so he Be so kind to yourself.
Li Mingyue couldn't hide anything in her heart. She stood up directly from Duan Qian's lap and said, "Duan Qian, Duan Qian, I was wondering why you bought flowers and desserts today. It turns out you wanted me to accompany you." When you return to Beijing, just tell me what you want our Li family to do for you."
Duan Qian didn't expect Li Mingyue to be so sensitive and guess his purpose so easily, and it was obvious that he would be very angry.
But Duan Qian is not worried because he is
He has long been familiar with Li Mingyue. As long as he is willing to put down his posture and even coax and lie, Li Mingyue will eventually surrender no matter how angry he is.
