The light in the bar was dim, casting a thick shadow on Qiu Shou's beautiful face, making her look even more mysterious and dangerous.
Xiao Zheng listened to Qiu Shou's narration in silence. His heart was in turmoil, and he could not control himself.
If what Qiu Shou said was true, then Bai Zhenqing was killed by Bai Ziwen himself?
They were father and son, whose blood was thicker than water. How could Bai Ziwen be so ruthless? Why did he do it? Didn't Bai Wushuang inherit the Bai family?
Xiao Zheng gasped. He took a sip of his cocktail to calm himself down, but his whole body was cold.
Xiao Zheng was an orphan. He longed for the atmosphere and warmth of a family since he was young. This was also the reason why he could tolerate Dong Bijun's bullying of him.
He could not bear to destroy the harmony of the Lin family.
But now, he found out from Qiu Shou that Bai Ziwen was most likely the culprit behind Bai Zhenqing's murder.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xiao Zheng, who cared about his family.
"Boss Qiu, do you have evidence that Bai Ziwen did it himself?" Xiao Zheng asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.
"If I had concrete evidence, I would have told Bai Wuxia directly. Why did you have to take a roundabout route to save the country and inform Boss Xiao first? "Qiu Shou said calmly.
"Since you don't have concrete evidence, how can Boss Qiu be so sure that Bai Ziwen did it?" Xiao Zheng said solemnly. "Doesn't Boss Qiu know that Bai Ziwen is Bai Zhenqing's youngest son?"
"So what?" Qiu Shou's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light as she pursed her lips. "Bai Ziwen is not the first man to kill his own father, and he will not be the last. Boss Xiao, you can't do it just because you have a strong sense of family. It's like asking everyone to be like you. "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of his cocktail and said calmly, "Boss Qiu, you don't even have concrete evidence to make such a presumptuous claim. Can I suspect that this is just a conspiracy by Boss Qiu? "
"Oh?" Qiu Shou's scarlet lips curled up slightly as she asked slowly. "Boss Xiao thinks that I have a conspiracy?"
"You want to take revenge on the Bai family, you want to destroy the Bai family. We might as well stir up internal strife within the Bai family and take the opportunity to involve more forces, "Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes. "At that time, wouldn't the descendants of the Zhao Clan be able to sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and take revenge effortlessly?"
Clap clap.
Qiu Shou raised her snow-white arm and lightly clapped her hands. "Boss Xiao is truly intelligent. You've seen through my scheme in an instant."
She said it very lightly. How could she feel embarrassed when her conspiracy was exposed?
"But — even if I think so, can Boss Xiao remain indifferent?" Qiu Shou said slowly. "You can clear Bai Ziwen's name? Can you deny that Shang Jingtian's marriage with the Bai family was to help Bai Wushuang ascend the throne, and to exterminate Bai Wuxia and collude with him? "
After a pause, Qiu Shou said meaningfully, "Boss Xiao, my original intention and thoughts are not important. What's really important is what kind of ambition is hidden behind this conspiracy. "
Xiao Zheng clenched the cocktail in his palm. He was speechless.
Qiu Shou was right. Whether this was a conspiracy or not, and whether Qiu Shou wanted to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of others. Bai Zhenqing's death was indeed strange. Bai Ziwen was a suspect that could not be cleared. Even Bai Wuxia did not mention this matter. It was unknown whether she wanted to suppress it or if she had other plans.
What about the descendants of the Zhao Clan who were hiding in the surroundings and could bare their fangs at any time?
Were they not involved at all?
Xiao Zheng's mind was racing as he quickly sorted through all the clues.
In the end, he realized that no matter how he thought about it, he would face the most serious problem.
Bai Wuxia would face the encirclement of Bai Ziwen and Shang Jingtian at any time.
Wait — Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed as if he had caught onto something!
That's right.
The reason why Qiu Shou provided this information to him, was it because she wanted to use him to destroy the marriage between Bai Ziwen and Shang Jingtian?
After all, for the sake of Bai Wuxia, Xiao Zheng could not sit back and do nothing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng's back was drenched in cold sweat.
This Qiu Shou's thoughts were really meticulous and vicious.
She grasped everyone's thoughts and set up a plan to create contradictions and conflicts. As for herself, she was just hiding behind the scenes and watching the show.
Xiao Zheng finished the cocktail in his glass and exhaled a mouthful of foul air. "It's really hard for you, Boss Qiu. Not only do you have to busy yourself with the Lin Corporation's affairs, but you also have to consider these grudges. "
"It's my duty." Qiu Shou smiled.
"Thank you for the reminder, Boss Qiu." Xiao Zheng smiled and returned to his original state. "If Boss Qiu has any doubts in the future, feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything I know. "
Qiu Shou narrowed her eyes and asked, "I do have a small question." "I wonder if Boss Xiao can answer it for me."
Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. This woman was really willing to be taken advantage of. He nodded and said, "Boss Qiu, please ask."
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
Qiu Shou stared straight at Xiao Zheng. Her scarlet lips parted slightly, revealing her full and perky breasts, outlining the curves of her cheongsam. She was extremely irritating.
…
When Xiao Zheng left his seat, he only saw Qiu Shou's beautiful eyes filled with mischief.
A good man doesn't fight with a woman?
Xiao Zheng did not answer Qiu Shou, nor did he criticize her.
Because in terms of strength, he had no confidence that he could defeat Qiu Shou. In terms of background and connections. Duke Ye had said that as long as the descendants of the Zhao family did not bring disaster to the country and the people, the higher-ups would not interfere.
This was equivalent to Zhao Zhangfeng receiving a gold medal for his descendants to be exempted from death. It did not matter how the descendants tormented them.
Could Xiao Zheng fight to the death with Qiu Shou?
Yes. He might not be able to defeat Qiu Shou. Moreover, Qiu Shou had a couple who lacked experience in Jianghu but were extremely powerful.
In terms of connections, even Duke Ye thought highly of the descendants of the Zhao family. Xiao Zheng did not dare to underestimate them.
Moreover, she had Lin Laoyao to support her …
She was really a monster with no weaknesses in all aspects.
…
The next morning, the sky was gloomy.
The sky was dark and gloomy. Even people's mood was affected. It was extremely depressing.
Xiao Zheng and Bai Wuxia put on specially prepared black suits and drove to the White Cloud Villa.
Bai Zhenqing's memorial service was held in the villa. The host was Bai Wushuang. The master of the Bai family. The two brothers, Bai Wuxia and Bai Ziwen, would also personally thank the guests to show their respect.
Before the car got close, Xiao Zheng saw the ox carts piled up outside the gate.
Military cars with license plates from various military regions.
Public cars from government agencies.
Including some luxury cars with license plates that obviously could not be obtained by ordinary people. For example, 88888, 66666.
Could ordinary people get such nature-defying license plates?
Because Old Lin was accompanying them, Xiao Zheng did not take a taxi like the day before. Instead, he contacted the White City branch and sent a Mercedes-Benz. It was a reflection of the identity and status of the boss of Xin Ao.
The driver parked the car. Xiao Zheng and Bai Wuxia slowly got out of the car and went straight to the memorial service.
The originally spacious hall was already crowded with people. There were enough chairs, but there were too many people and the air was a little thin.
