the knife of love

Chapter 122 Thorough investigation, Chi Feng's death

In just a few hours, the news of Yu Qilin being swapped has been spread on the Internet. The [-] million national treasure was stolen, the shocking mystery, and the editor's various baseless speculations made the whole case even more confusing.

The scapegoat that Su Hongzhi turned himself in to before was also human fleshed out by netizens. He was nothing more than a habitual petty theft criminal. He committed two small crimes and was released after serving his sentence two months ago. With more than six figures, how could such a small habitual criminal break through the strict monitoring of the museum and steal a pair of jade unicorns worth [-] million?
The public opinion was really unconvinced, and the Yunling City Public Security Bureau once again set up a task force overnight, and issued a clear order to thoroughly investigate the case.

All of a sudden, the case broke the sky.

Guan Lue sits in Lao Mai's car and smokes.

"Has the identity of the person Su Hongzhi arranged to surrender to Dingbao been found?"

"Found it. He's a habitual offender. His surname is Chen. Others call him Old Chen. Old Chen was arrested for committing crimes the year before. Not changing his thieves, he broke into the safe of the gold shop when he was on the night shift."

"..." Guan Lue was speechless, "Su Fan is used to stealing as a security guard?"

Lao Mai also laughed: "Maybe the person in charge of that store didn't know that he was a repeat offender, but it was a coincidence that the case of Yu Qilin was reported anonymously by Lou Qingxiao the day after the incident, otherwise Su Hongzhi Where to find someone who is willing to be his scapegoat to surrender."

This is the truth.

Guan slightly sneered: "There must be interests in all balances. What conditions did Su Hongzhi agree to?"

Lao Mai sighed: "Qian, as far as I know, this old Chen is close to fifty, and he has not achieved anything in half his life. Because he committed the crime and stayed in it for four or five years, his wife ran away with someone long ago, leaving behind a son. My son is only in his early twenties this year, and he is about to graduate from university. A thief managed to raise a promising son, but a while ago, Lao Chen’s son was found to have a benign tumor in his brain. The doctor said that surgery would be fine. It was removed, but he couldn't afford the operation fee at all, which is why he attacked the safe of the gold store..."

The story is always like this.

Hateful people must have pity. When God closes a door for you, he may also open a window for you.

"So he agreed to Su Hongzhi's request to surrender for him, and Su Hongzhi paid for his son's operation?"

"That's about it." Old Mai smiled bitterly, "Old Chen touched the alarm when he opened the safe and was caught on the spot. Even if he didn't turn himself in for Su Hongzhi, he would still go to jail. I don't know how many years he will be sentenced this time."

So he would rather surrender himself for Su Hongzhi, at least in exchange for his son's life.

"Anyway, at least it means that he is still a good father!" Guan slightly pinched his cigarette, looked at the bright street lamp in the distance, and squinted his eyes, "But he probably won't live long, Su Hongzhi is too suspicious, now If things get serious, the police will definitely re-examine the confession, nothing is more reliable than a dead man's mouth."

Lao Mai understood what he meant: "Then we just sit idly by?"

Guan slightly smiled, calm and indifferent: "Otherwise, is that old Chen your mother's brother-in-law?"

"..."

Sure enough, everything was as expected. The next day, the police recorded Lao Chen and Tang Ji's statements again, but the lawyer had already told them in advance that the statements were exactly the same as the first time.

There was nothing the police could do, and the case fell into a stalemate again.

Guan Lue didn't return to the apartment in the park until early in the morning. He originally wanted to call Tang Jingcheng, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It was too late, and he was afraid of disturbing her rest.

Su Jue had no shares in Su Fan, and Su Hongzhi dismissed him as the general manager, which also meant that he would be fired by Su Fan.

He left the company late at night and drove into Su's residence.

From the concierge to the main building, the servants in the house were already asleep at night, and Su Jue waited in the car for about seven or eight minutes before the electric door opened.

It's ironic to think about it, he has been brought back by Su Hongzhi for more than ten years, he is the young master of the Su family in the eyes of outsiders, but he hasn't got the key or card of Su's house for more than ten years.

Every time he came back, the servant had to open the door. To put it bluntly, he was just an unwelcome outsider to this family.

"Young master, are you coming back so late?" The servant in charge of opening the front hall door of the main building was surprised when he saw Su Jue.

Su Jue said with a sullen face, "Where's father?"

"Master is upstairs, he should be asleep."

Su Jue didn't say much, and walked upstairs with the document bag in his hand.

He knew that Su Hongzhi couldn't sleep, and he probably couldn't sleep well these few days, so he didn't go to the bedroom, but went directly to the Treasure Pavilion.

The door of the Treasure Pavilion is closed, but there is a light shining through the crack in the door.

Su Jue knocked on the door, and it took a long time before someone inside responded vigilantly: "Who?"

"I!"

Su Hongzhi came to open the door himself after hearing the voice, leaning on crutches, wearing crow-blue pajamas, looking at Su Jue at the door with a gloomy face: "What's wrong with you coming so late?"

"You should know what I'm doing!"

"Remove you from the post of general manager?" Su Hongzhi put his hands on his crutches and grinned, "This matter has already been settled, and the notice from the personnel side has also been sent out. Don't expect me to take back this decision."

Su Jue was not surprised at all, just took out a piece of paper from the document bag and handed it to Su Hongzhi.

"what?"

"You might as well look at this first."

Su Hongzhi took the paper suspiciously, glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed.

"What do you mean?" Su Hongzhi shook the piece of paper angrily. On the paper was the news about the theft of jade unicorn printed from the Internet.

Su Jue looked at Su Hongzhi's already blue face, and asked, "Father, are you going to let me talk here?"

Su Hongzhi glanced outside the door, next to the stairs, there are a bunch of servants in Su's house, there are many people and miscellaneous eyes.

"Come in and close the door!"

Su Jue followed.

Su Hongzhi threw the paper on the table, his expression became much more stable, he leaned against the edge of the table, guessing that Su Jue was just trying to trick someone.

"Tell me, what do you want to extort from me with this piece of news printed from the Internet?"

Su Hongzhi used the word "wrong", which is extremely ugly, but their father and son have said too many ugly words than this, Su Jue has long been used to it, and smiled: "Don't you want to hear about these two jade unicorns?" s story?"

"I've never been interested in things that have nothing to do with me."

"Irrelevant?" Su Jue raised his eyes. He was much taller than Su Hongzhi. Looking past, he could see rows of safes behind the shelves of Babao Pavilion, each of which contained Su Hongzhi. Treat rare jade articles from all over the world over the years.

"Father, there are all your treasures in this row of safes, but I'm just curious, is there one empty in the past few days?"

"..." Su Hongzhi's eyes turned cold, but he was still able to hold on, and turned around holding his crutches, "I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"Then let me make it clearer, how much my father spent to get this pair of jade unicorns, and how much I should pay now to suppress this case."

"What did you say?" Su Hongzhi couldn't believe it, how did Su Jue know about Yu Qilin?
"Don't talk nonsense here, I don't know what jade unicorn is!" He still wanted to cover up.

Su Jue went to the table and looked at the old man who was already sitting on the chair: "Father, we are father and son after all, and you have never told me the truth in all these years, but if you don't tell it, someone will tell it for you. "

"Who, who told you this?"

Su Jue sneered, with a cold light in his black eyes: "Then I have to thank your youngest son who always succeeds but fails! Do you remember that he hid someone for you in Changteng Hotel before?"

Su Hongzhi slumped on the chair all of a sudden, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He raised his fingers tremblingly and pointed at Su Jue in front of him.

"Chi Feng was your move?"

Su Jue answered somewhat ambiguously: "I was lucky enough to meet him once before he died... but that side is very important!"

Su Hongzhi sneered a little: "Then you also exposed this case on the Internet?"

Su Jue raised his body with a cold expression: "Father is forcing me to leave Su Fan at this time. Uncle Tian's case is still unclear...Father, you forced me to go this far."

Su Hongzhi had nothing to say, and slumped on a chair holding his crutches.

He really brought back a wolf, not just an ordinary wolf, but a ferocious wolf, a vicious wolf!
"Then what do you want?"

"It's very simple, as long as my father promises me a few conditions, I will take good care of what Chi Feng gave me before he died!"

"If I do, I will agree."

"That may be more than just this news. Maybe I can also calculate with you what you have done on the Yunnan border these years!"

……

Twenty minutes later, Su Jue came down from upstairs, and the old butler of Su's house happened to go upstairs with a cup of tea.

"Master, are you leaving so late?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of smashing upstairs, and I don't know what happened again.

"Master, this is..."

"Father has been in a bad mood these days."

"It's about the company again."

Su Jue was noncommittal, and sneered: "Please take care of me, I'll go first."

The car drove out of the Su residence, and the father and son had really come to the point of breaking up.

The next day, Su Fan issued an internal notice to resume Su Jue's position as general manager, and the lawyer drafted an agreement to transfer 17% of the shares under Su Hongzhi's name to Su Jue's.

In just over ten hours, the person who was supposed to expel Su Fan turned into the largest shareholder besides Su Hongzhi. There were too many variables, and the company and the media couldn't help but have a lot of suspicion.

However, Su Hongzhi himself said: "The company has been in troubled times recently, because Su Fan's stock has declined due to the impact of the previous two projects, and I am old and have limited energy, so I need to appoint a strong leader to lead Su Fan as soon as possible. Get out of the predicament, and after the unanimous resolution of the board of directors, Su Jue is the most suitable person."

As soon as this remark was made, there were speculations in the industry that the old man was suspected of "establishing a prince".

Although Su Jue also served as the general manager before, he was subject to many restrictions in the company because he was not a shareholder. Now the old man has transferred 17% of the shares to him in one go, making it clear that he wants to help him up.

It can be said that ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, the second young master who has always been favored was directly kicked out of the game.
