Wildfire

Chapter 45: clarify

In the huge office, Li Yanzhi sat next to Li Yun. She poured a cup of warm water from the coffee table and handed it to Li Yun, her eyes calm and said, "Auntie, drink water."

The sailor Li Yun took over her was still a bit trembling. Li Yanzhi took her hold. Li Yun looked up at Li Yanzhi and said dumbly: "When did you know?"

She felt that she had concealed it well, and even asked Li Sui to assure herself that no matter what Li Sui did, she would not touch this bottom line.

This is their only and last tacit understanding, and she believes that Li Sui will not take the initiative to mention it.

Li Yanzhi said frankly: "A few years ago."

On the death day of her parents, she went to find Li Yun after the worship, and sat in her house for a while. Before leaving, Li Yun went to get things, and she helped Li Yun answer the phone.

The call was from the police station.

She knew about those accidents, and she also knew that she actually had two older sisters.

Since she was a child, Li Yanzhi felt that she was born in a happy family, her parents were harmonious, and her two aunts loved her very much. Even though the family changed drastically later, she never doubted anything, and never thought that while enjoying her love, those things People have a heart-piercing past.

Especially her parents.

Li Yun patted the back of her hand and took a sip of warm water from the cup. The fierce and frantic heart gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and her emotions slowly calmed down.

The first child of Li’s family was born in the second year after her elder brother-in-law’s marriage. The whole family was very happy. Various banquets and banquets continued to welcome this new life. The child was well-behaved and did not like to be noisy. He often stared at it. They giggled and were especially pleased, but within a few months, they died.

The Li family was trapped in the gloom for a long time, until the second child came. Perhaps because there was a child in front of him, the appearance of the second child was not so grand. It just told a few relatives and friends, although there was no public announcement. , But they are still happy, this child somewhat relieved the pain in their hearts that the previous child had disappeared.

But I never expected that the accident came so quickly, an unforeseen fire, and took the life of the second child.

The Li family fell into the haze again.

Her sister-in-law did not believe that these two times were accidents. They reported to the police, investigated, and quarreled. The final result was indeed an accident. Although they were sad, they had no choice but to accept the reality. That was the most difficult period for the Li family. They felt a sense of suffocation when they went back, but they were afraid that her sister-in-law could not think about it, so they insisted on going back every day.

The news about the two children was completely suppressed by her brother, and even became a taboo topic in Li's family. Because her sister-in-law was on the verge of collapse, she could not be stimulated any more, and she would lose control for a long time even when she mentioned the child's name.

From the birth to the departure of the second child, not many people knew about it. In addition, the news was completely suppressed, so it did not spread. These things were buried deep in their hearts. In the Li family, no one dared to mention it.

The turning point occurred after Li Yanzhi was born.

Because of the affairs of the first two children, everyone held Li Yanzhi in their palms, and because of her arrival, the Li family was revived. She and Li Suiai went home. Out of the mentality of'compensating', they took I can't give all the goodness of the first two children to Li Yanzhi, spoil her into a lawless character, let her be arrogant, let her be naughty, and her brother and sister-in-law have also improved a lot because of the arrival of words, especially her sister-in-law. , No longer indulged in the past two accidents, the character gradually became clear, and sometimes it was annoying and impossible to dote on them, but she did not stop it.

She apologizes too, guilt did not take care of the first two children, so she did not stop.

In the following ten years, Li Sui met someone she liked and got married. She had her own family. Everything went according to order, but it was like the tranquility before the storm. Li Yanzhi’s healthy growth made everyone gradually believe that it was really an accident before. But only her sister-in-law didn't believe it.

One year into the winter, her sister-in-law asked her and said that she had a clue. She only knew that for so many years, her sister-in-law had never let go of those two things, but she did not say it in person, but secretly investigated it. Show yourself the information you found, and show her the evidence. There is a thick pile of information. She can't hold her hands. Her sister-in-law is like a demon: "I seem to be about to find the murderer!"

She stood there a little dazed, her sister-in-law looked really like when she had just lost her second child, and she did the same, saying every day: "I want to find the murderer."

"They certainly didn't seem to be accidental."

"They were killed by someone!"

It has been almost more than ten years, and she hasn't seen the gesture of her sister-in-law, but now she reappears, she feels a little dazed.

Her sister-in-law asked: "Li Yun, do you believe me?"

She stood there for a long time, trying to say that she believed, but the evidence was in front of her. It was indeed an accident. She wanted to say that she did not believe, but in the face of her sister-in-law's praying eyes and helpless expression, how could she say this.

Her sister-in-law didn't have to ask her to believe it, she said, "Tomorrow you send Yanzhi to the orphanage to avoid it."

"I don't want to involve her."

"I'm going abroad tomorrow."

She didn't know what her sister-in-law was going to do. She wanted to discuss with her brother, but before leaving, she was held by her sister-in-law: "Li Yun, believe me once, OK? What I said is true."

Seeing her pleading eyes, she was a little flustered for the first time, and nodded in agreement. Who knows, this is a farewell, this sentence became the last thing her sister-in-law said to her.

After that, her sister-in-law stayed abroad for more than three months. Her brother chased him. They had an accident on their way back to China and they both left.

The police initially determined that it was an accident, but there are still many doubts. Facing the pressure of public opinion and facing the fragmented company, Li Sui had to stand up and declare that it was an accident. Later, the case was included in a secret investigation. She and Li Sui Thousands of warnings in the police station, do not let Li Yanzhi know.

At that time, she was worried that she was young and could not bear it. Later, the investigation was unclear, and she did not want to let Li Yanzhi know about it. She was afraid that she would think too much. No one would like to live in fear every day. No one likes to open his eyes and guess the next time. During the unexpected time, no one can grow up healthily under such a mentality.

They have kept hiding very well.

Unexpectedly, Li Yanzhi still knew.

Li Yun swiftly thought of her brother-in-law’s death day one year, when Li Yanzhi came to her that day, it was normal, but she was not in good spirits when she returned. She thought that Li Yanzhi was thinking of leaving her parents with the words of comfort as it had passed, but she answered him at night. When I came to Li Yanzhi's call, she said she was uncomfortable. She rarely heard Li Yanzhi's tone and asked her if she missed her parents. Li Yanzhi laughed on the phone and said in a low voice after smiling, "Yes. I really want to."

She didn't know what happened to Li Yanzhi, but since then, Li Yanzhi's bodyguards have changed a group.

Looking back now, her aunt was too incompetent.

"That's it." Li Yun said in a slow tone: "I'm sorry, Auntie didn't want to hide it from you."

"I didn't blame you." Li Yanzhi shook her head lightly. She had never blamed Li Yun, although this incident had a great impact on her, so much that her whole belief collapsed at that time! It was like a wooden board came out out of thin air and hit her whole, causing her to be bloodied and bloody! The truth that she thought was actually an illusion. She lived under the umbrella of others for so many years. She didn’t know the accidents of her parents and two sisters. She thought her good memories were actually based on the blood-stained past, which made her true for a while. hard to accept.

She held back for a long time.

One night she drank a lot of alcohol and was drunk and delirious. When the driver drove her back to the apartment, she didn't see Qi Man. The thought that there might be accidents filled her mind. The associations she had never had before were in her. The more clear in her mind, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she was. She asked Qi Man to go to her. The bodyguard told her that Qi Man was going to Lu Qiao's birthday party. She sat on the sofa and waited for her to return home.

Waited all night.

She didn't know how to survive the hardest night, she only knew that she needed to redefine her relationship with Qi Man.

Li Yanzhi was amazed. Seeing Li Yun, she was still startled and said, "Is there any news from the police?"

Seeing that she knew everything, Li Yun had nothing to hide. She shook her head: "No, the police in charge of this case retired last year."

Retired, no one took over the case for twenty years, if it weren't for the Li family's follow-up question, I am afraid that the case would have been closed long ago, because there are only suspicious points, but no suspects.

Li Yanzhi nodded.

In fact, she has been investigating the events of the year since she knew it, including the accidents of her two sisters, but it has been too long, let alone the evidence, the doubts are almost blurred.

Sometimes she also wondered if it was really just an accident, but Zhao Haichuan's accident made her alert again, and she had already sent someone to investigate the cause of Zhao Haichuan's accident.

"I'm also investigating." Li Yun said: "I have always apologized for not believing your mother back then. If it is really artificial this time, I will find it out."

"Auntie." Li Yanzhi said, "Don't intervene in this matter anymore and leave it to me."

Li Yun looked at Li Yanzhi and took a deep look and said: "This should be said for me. In other words, my aunt has seen everything in her life. People's minds are changeable and sinister is hard to know. Aunty has experienced all kinds of storms and waves. You Different, you are still young, you shouldn’t get involved, listen to your aunt, and find someone to marry, okay?"

"Getting back the shares is the best explanation for your parents."

Seeing that the topic turned back to marriage, Li Yanzhi's eyebrows wrinkled, and she shook her head: "Auntie, marriage is not the only way."

"Why isn't it the only way?" Li Yun was anxious: "Okay, you don't want to get married, and you don't want to involve innocent people. Aunt can understand. Then, I will find someone for you, fake marriage, and get divorced when the shares are returned. , Isn't this okay?"

"If you want to get married in the future, it's up to you!"

This is her last concession.

Li Yanzhi tilted her head to meet Li Yun's eyes, and her eyes were determined: "No."

She said that she would not get married, that is, she would not get married, and fake marriages would not work either.

"I have another way with regard to shares, so my aunt should not interfere."

"What else can you do?" Li Yun stood up and scolded: "In other words, you are not alone now, you still have a company on your shoulders, and a responsibility of your parents. You know what I'm talking about. Before you Auntie doesn’t ask what you have done, but I don’t want you to lose a lot of money!"

Li Yanzhi had a slight headache when she heard that, and her brain neurites jumped suddenly. She pressed her slender fingers on her temples and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I know what I should do."

"You better know that, in other words, getting married is the fastest, most convenient and safest way!" Li Yun said: "If the shares fall into the hands of that person, you know that she will not return it to you."

Li Yanzhi's headache was even worse. She pressed her temples, her face was pale, and nodded: "I know."

As soon as her voice was knocked on the office door, Lou Ya said, "Mr. Li, it's time for the meeting."

Li Yanzhi looked up at Li Yun and said, "Auntie, go back first."

Li Yun said helplessly: "Think about it yourself."

Li Yanzhi was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

Needless to say, she has been thinking about it for a long time, and has been preparing for this plan for three years. Marriage is indeed the fastest and safest way, but it is not the only way.

She got up and sent Li Yun out of the office. Lou Ya outside the door raised her eyes to look at her, and whispered: "Mr. Li, are you uncomfortable?"

Her face was pale, and she sweated finely on her head, which she would only do when she had a headache.

Li Yanzhi nodded lightly and said, "You go to the conference room first, and I will come after I take the medicine."

Lou Ya didn't dare to ask more, bowed her head and walked to the meeting room.

Li Yanzhi turned and went back to the office. She took out the medicine bottle from the drawer, poured two capsules in her palm, looked up at the screen as she ate her head up, and the page was still on Qi Man's matter.

The relationship between Qi Man and Zhang Chunshan was indeed raging. It was originally only within the company, but later evolved to the entire Internet. Qi Man's identity has changed again and again, and there are various arguments. The internal staff was originally just in the mood for eating melons, but was later scolded to feel embarrassed. , And began to echo on the Internet: QM is airborne!

—A friend in Jinrong said that QM often goes to the general manager's office during working hours.

—Thank you, if you are in Jinrong, QM will be responsible for major projects when you enter the company. It must be related.

The news spread like this, and the spread spread quickly like the wind. People in the sales department naturally did not forget to talk about it. They disliked disgust and at the same time put a shameless label on Qi Man, and Chen Yuan was drawn into the topic. Center: "It's shameless. If I were she, she wouldn't want to stay in the company."

"Are you her?" Chen Yuan had a stomach irritation. Now, when she heard this, the woman who was squinting and talking, bombarded: "You can't do it if you want."

The woman who was blocked by her words froze for a few seconds, and looked at the other people with suspicious eyes, and no one knew what happened to Chen Yuan suddenly.

what's happenin?

What else?

She was standing on Zhang Ling's side anyway, but she had been used as an executioner to kill Mr. Zhang's daughter with her own knife. How could she feel like a fool about this matter!

It is estimated that Zhang Ling and Qi Man are the same, looking at her is the same as looking at a monkey.

The more Chen Yuan thinks about it, the more maddening Qi Man can make it. The two are unfamiliar. This Ling, who knows that Qi Man is Mr. Zhang’s daughter, does not disclose any news. It is plausible that she will behave like a monkey in front of colleagues. Black material', thinking that he is smart, but stupid at home!

She was so angry that she had to hold back secretly.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, when discussions on the Qi Man and Zhang Chunshan incidents were at its highest on the Internet, Jinrong PR invited several major media to hold a press conference. It goes without saying that it was to deal with this ‘scandal’.

Hot discussion on the Internet, all kinds of rhetoric have appeared.

—Come, come, place a bet, I guess Zhang Chunshan will say that he has divorced his wife and is currently in a relationship with QM!

-Get out of my way and ask me to say how to wash this wave? Zhang Chunshan divorced? QM didn't get involved in the marriage? Your goddaughter? Relatives?

—No matter how you wash it, you won’t have to wash it!

The beating really didn’t have to be washed, and Qi Man didn’t plan to wash. Under countless lights, in front of the reporter, she was sitting at a long table with Zhang Chunshan next to him. Reporter ||gun||short||gun, the question is unresolved, who Did not speak.

At the request of the media, this press conference was broadcast live on the whole network. Before it started, the barrage was maxed out. Even so, many praised Qi Man for his high appearance, and of course he was all scolded as cerebral palsy.

Qi Man couldn't see those barrages, but she could guess one or two. Next to her was the third person in the public opinion center, Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan always bowed her head, and did not say anything when faced with reporters' questions. Many barrage said she had been caught by public relations.

Zhang Ling stood among the people below. Among the sales staff, someone muttered: "What does Qi Man want to clarify?"

"There are so many eyes watching the beating, how can I clarify?"

Zhang Ling pursed her lips when she heard this.

Yes, everyone saw the beating. Even if Qi Man clarified her relationship with her dad today, even if people knew that she was Zhang Chunshan’s daughter, what about her bad temper. , Beating people casually in the company, and cooperating with Chen Yuan's resignation, when the time comes, Qi Man's reputation will be ruined.

As long as Chen Yuan remains silent throughout, her victim image will be stabilized.

Zhang Ling's wishful thinking is very good, but she has never thought that people's hearts will change. Chen Yuan, who swore in front of her to pull Qi Man into the water last second, will stand in front of everyone and bend over to Qi Man this second:" Sorry Miss Qi, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I don't know that you and Zhang are always a father-daughter, and shouldn't listen to company rumors and spread the "scandal" between you and Mr. Zhang."

A word is full of uproar!

The camera and lens also turned from Qi Man to Chen Yuan in an instant. Everyone wanted to bring a magnifying glass to see her clearly. By the way, they broke her words into pieces and analyzed them carefully. But that's what they said. Can't do without this meaning.

Qi Man is Zhang Chunshan's daughter.

"Miss Chen, you mean Miss Qi is Mr. Zhang's daughter?"

"Miss Chen, are you telling the truth?"

OMG!

This is much better than hitting people!

Zhang Chunshan got out of thin air with a daughter, and his lover became a relative. The reporter turned his attention from Chen Yuan to Zhang Chunshan. Many reporters asked directly for the sake of a gimmick: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, is Miss Qi really your daughter?"

"Mr. Zhang? If Miss Qi is your daughter, does it mean that you have cheated on your marriage?"

It was originally a live broadcast, and the barrage was so full that Zhang Chunshan's expression was unclear. He paused for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"I am very loyal to my marriage!"

The reporter asked: "Then Miss Qi and you really have a father-daughter relationship?"

Zhang Chunshan nodded: "Yes, she is the daughter of my ex-wife and me."

Ex-wife?

The reporters who come here are not young, they are mostly old, and they still have a little impression of the news that Zhang Chunshan’s wife took her child to commit suicide in the sea. He never expected that the child did not die, and he would come back more than two decades later. Up!

Zhang Chunshan also took advantage of the wave of his life-saving father’s personal settings, which he had worked so hard to find for so many years. "The resurrection of the dead" and "sorrowful father", the two topics directly soared. The reporter felt that this wave of interviews was not profitable. Do not forget to ask: "Miss Chen, so you were really beaten?"

Chen Yuan looked at the reporter and apologized: "I believe that if you hear that your mother is being vilified, and you and your father spread unnecessarily scandals, you will also beat others."

"I shouldn't have misunderstood Miss Qi by listening to others."

The reporter followed up and asked: "Ms. Chen is someone else referring to?"

"It doesn't matter who you mean, what matters is that the officials at the higher level crush people to death."

The senior officials crushed people to death.

Who else is one level higher than her official?

It's not Zhang Ling.

The reporter doesn't know, but can internal employees know?

Zhang Ling is Zhang Chunshan's adopted daughter, and Qi Man is her biological daughter. Does this adopted daughter have a crooked mind with her biological daughter?

No wonder Qi Man has been forced to spread scandals since he joined the company. He also said that he was robbing projects, robbing customers, and ruining Qi Man's reputation. It turned out that the key point was here!

The people standing next to Zhang Ling looked at her with strange eyes. Although they didn't dare to speak directly, they betrayed them with their expressions. Zhang Ling's face was red, let's see what she was doing! She didn't let the news spread! She didn't make the "scandal" either! Why look at her!

She wanted to question very much, but with so many eyes, she felt hairy in her heart. She didn't dare to look back and turn her head away!

Rake upside down and pour dirty water.

All the tricks she used on Qi Man bounced back! In full view! Live on the whole network! What kind of public opinion will become, what she will be suspected by everyone, you can know without thinking! When Zhang Ling returned to the office, everyone was shaking. She opened the company forum and asked about the vicious words behind her name, why she can't tolerate Qi Man, why she deliberately finds faults, and why her adopted daughter is still deliberately trying to kill her biological daughter. What's more, she said that as a deputy manager, she should be an individual first. Dogs have more conscience than her!

Zhang Ling was anxious and her sanity gradually collapsed. She couldn't bear to call the computer maintenance department and ordered them to find out the computer code of the poster before the evening!

The maintenance manager looked confused: "Manager Zhang, there is no such thing as computer code."

Zhang Ling stunned and reacted. She hung up the phone viciously and screamed at the quiet office: "Qi Man!!!"

Qi Man is very good, his image is perfectly reversed, Jin Rong’s boss’s biological girl, a plain princess, a miracle of resurrection, a smart and beautiful woman, no arrogance or impatience, with a bottom line, and elegant talk. After the live broadcast, Jin Rong’s official propaganda department Fans soared, all went to Qi Man.

This battle is undoubtedly beautiful.

Beautiful enough that Li Yanzhi saw it, Cheng wanted to cheer for Qi Man, playing with public opinion between applause, she was so smart, she had clearly won the battle, but she couldn't be happy, Li Yanzhi stared at the screen, her eyes were dark and her face was sideways. Tight, the facial lines appear sharp because of the reflection of the screen, a bit sharp and cool.

Qi Man is Zhang Chunshan's daughter?

When did Qi Man know about this?

When following her?

Li Yanzhi's temples began to jump again, her brain nerves were pulling desperately, and she was half leaning on the desk in pain, rubbing her forehead gently with her fingers.

The office was quiet, and a bell rang. Li Yanzhi looked pale and looked over. A familiar name flashed on the screen. She looked at it for a few seconds and picked up: "Aunt Tang."

"Well, have you watched the news?" Tang Yun said, "That Qi Man is Zhang Chunshan's daughter?"

Li Yanzhi pursed her lips to conceal the tumbling emotions in her heart. The headache became more severe, and she coughed.

After a few seconds—

"Yes." Li Yanzhi's voice was slightly lower, hoarse, and tense: "Aunt Tang, can you do me a favor?"

Tang Yun's voice was warm, with a smile: "Just say it."

Li Yanzhi said: "Let's have a meal together tonight." She paused: "Call Qi Man."

Some things, she must ask Qi Man clearly.
