While Su Zhenwu worked hard overnight to hide under Liu Yuee's bed as a cameraman, the hall of the three-story building of the head of the Su Family was filled with smoke.
Su Zhengdong and his brothers were discussing how to arrange Su Xu's funeral with a gloomy face. Although the Su Family blocked the news immediately after getting the news and claimed that Su Xu died of illness, everyone knew the truth.
Even if ordinary people didn't know the truth, there were many childes who followed Su Xu to seek pleasure at that time. Although these people usually hung around Su Xu and promised the Su Family that they would keep their mouths shut, how could such a scandal be covered up?
Therefore, with the current status of the Su Family, Su Xu's funeral should have been held in a big way after his death. However, his death shamed the family, so there were differences on the funeral standard.
Su Zhengdong and Su Zhengxi had always been close. They insisted on keeping a low profile and holding a secret funeral. If they held a big funeral, the Su Family would lose all its face.
However, Su Zhengbei, who had never liked to express his opinion, uncharacteristically insisted on holding a big funeral this time. He said that only in this way could the Su Family have a clear conscience. Otherwise, it would not be a cover-up here, and people outside might talk about it.
The two sides argued endlessly with their own reasons. Su Zhengdong had always been strong, but this time Su Xu's death made him lose face. He had no face to say anything and could only smoke in silence. Then, Su Zhengxi and Su Zhengbei quarreled with each other with red faces and thick necks, and no one could give in to the other.
As the head of the family, Su Zhengnan didn't express his opinion from beginning to end. He also felt a headache and muttered in his heart, "Although Xiang 'er did this thing cleanly, she should not disregard the face of the Su Family at all. She left me, the head of the family, in a mess. What a fraud!"
But he also understood his daughter's way of doing things. Only in this way, for the sake of face, the Su Family would not carefully investigate the cause of Su Xu's death and desperately help cover it up. This was indeed a good way.
However, he did not know that at this moment, Su Ningxiang was looking at Granny Hua with a strange expression with a surprised face. "Granny, you said that he died before our people had time to do it?"
"Yes, Miss, I'm also puzzled. I originally planned to take action in these two days, but I didn't expect him to die so quickly. This saves us a lot of trouble."
Granny Hua said gloatingly, "It seems that this guy has done too many bad things. Now this is his retribution."
Su Ningxiang frowned and shook her head. "I don't think it's that simple. Why did the murderer do this?"
"Murderer? Does Miss really think that he was killed by someone? "
Granny Hua asked in confusion.
"Yes, I don't think it's a coincidence. Someone must have murdered him. No, I must find out who did it."
Su Ningxiang said with a solemn expression. Her intuition told her that this was likely a conspiracy against the Su Family.
Although Granny Hua was very powerful, she had always believed in her mistress's wisdom. She stood quietly at the side for fear of disturbing her mistress.
Because she was very clear that although most people in the Su Family did not treat her mistress well, her mistress still had feelings for the Su Family. She wanted to kill Su Xu because that bastard wanted to kill the young master and eliminate the threat for the young master. She did not want to destroy the whole Su Family.
She secretly sighed and felt pity for the fate of her mistress and her daughter. Madam had a hard life, but so did her mistress. The young master was her mistress's biggest reverse scale.
This made Granny Hua secretly decide to temporarily hide the danger that the young master encountered last night from her mistress. Otherwise, she did not know how distressed her mistress would be.
She secretly blamed herself. It was all because of her lack of consideration. She should have sent more people to protect the young master's safety.
The Heavens took pity on her. The Young Master was safe and sound. If anything happened to him, who knew what kind of crazy things the Young Miss would do.
Su Ningxiang did not notice Granny Hua's self-blame. Her mind was all about Su Xu's death. Who killed Su Xu?
Could it be Su Chen? Impossible. Although this nephew was very scheming and ruthless enough, he had the motive to kill Su Xu in order to fight for the position of the head of the family.
But she knew Su Chen very well. He was a proud and capable guy who had a great view of the overall situation. He was also one of the few children in the younger generation of the Su Family who was close to her.
He had never taken Su Xu seriously. He would never do such a stupid thing. Otherwise, it would not be him but Su Xu who was listed as one of the Eight Childes in Yan Jing.
Who else could it be except him? The Su Family had been high-profile in recent years and had offended many families and forces. Every one of these families and forces was suspicious.
After all, there was no outstanding person in the third generation of the Su Family. In the fourth generation, only Su Chen and Su Xu could be on the stage. Killing Su Xu would easily cause chaos in the Su Family and speed up the process of decline.
It had to be said that even if Su Ningxiang was very intelligent, she could not think of any clues in the situation without any clues.
But she had a faint intuition that this matter was not over yet. The behind-the-scenes manipulator might make another move. But at present, she could only take one step at a time. There would be a time when the truth would come to light.
Just as she thought, at this moment, in a single-family villa, a middle-aged man wearing white gloves stood expressionlessly in the corner of the living room, without any sense of existence.
In the hall, Su Chen was pacing back and forth, frowning. "Tell me again in detail, how did Su Xu die?"
"Last night, Young Master Xu was in a bad mood. After drinking a little, he found a woman …"
The person who stood respectfully in front of Su Chen to report the situation was Su Qin, a branch of the Su Family. Everyone thought he was Su Xu's man. No one knew that he was actually Su Chen's informant beside Su Xu.
"Wait, why was he in a bad mood?"
Su Chen asked keenly. Like Su Ningxiang, he immediately felt that this matter was abnormal after receiving the news of Su Xu's death. It was very likely to be a conspiracy against the Su Family. If his intuition was right, soon he would be pushed to the teeth of the storm and become the biggest suspect.
"Because Young Master Xu fell in love with Murong Yanran, the First Miss of the Murong Family, at first sight. You know, Young Master Xu has a strong jealousy and possessiveness. In these years, any friend of the opposite sex who appeared around Miss Murong would be quietly killed by him. This time is no exception. The man is called Ding Ning, a doctor from Ninghai, so he bribed Jingang and used Zhao Zifeng to fall in love with Xiao Nuo of the Xiao Family …"
Su Qin eloquently told the ins and outs of the matter. Su Chen's face became more and more gloomy. He looked at him coldly and said, "The shooting was instigated by him? Why didn't you tell me until now? "
"I … I … Young Master Xu was in a bad mood these days, so I didn't have a chance to report to you. Young Master Chen, you just returned to Yan Jing, so I … I didn't have time …"
Su Qin lowered his head and said in fear and trepidation with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Although Su Chen was less than 30 years old, the power he exuded made him feel great pressure. Su Xu and he were not at the same level at all. Only those who did not know would compare him with Su Xu.
Su Chen did not speak and stared at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Until the sweaty head was almost down to the waist of his trousers, Su Chen said lightly, "Forget it this time. I don't want it to happen again."
"Yes, Young Master Chen, I know I was wrong. I will report to you in time next time."
Su Qin was relieved. When he raised his head, he was shocked to find that his back was soaked with sweat.
"I will go back to the Su Family. After all, he is my cousin. I have to go and offer incense to him."
Su Chen picked up the suit on the hanger and said indifferently. He stepped out, and the middle-aged man, who was like a sculpture, quickly followed him with vigorous steps.
"Young Master Chen, what should I do next?"
Su Qin asked respectfully.
"Surrender yourself to the task force and report Su Xu!"
Su Chen left a sentence without looking back and closed the door.
"What …"
Su Qin suddenly looked up at Su Chen's back, and his face was full of dull expression.
"Young Master Chen, why do you want Su Qin to report Young Master Xu? Isn't this not good for the Su Family? "
The middle-aged man with white gloves acted as the driver. He, who rarely spoke, could not restrain his strong curiosity and asked.
Su Chen sat in the back, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with both hands, and said with a tired face, "Paper can't cover fire. It's better for the Su Family to report it than for others to expose it."
"But, no one knows that it was Young Master Xu who did it?"
The middle-aged man still didn't understand.
Su Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. Su Xu courted his own death, but even his death was used by others. This matter is not that simple. Just wait and see."
The middle-aged man saw that he didn't want to say more, so he closed his mouth and concentrated on driving. He knew that Su Chen was willing to say so much to him, which showed that he trusted him enough. If he asked more, he would be a little impolite.
Su Chen crossed his hands together, and his two thumbs kept turning. His brain was also spinning fast. He felt that a huge conspiracy was waiting for him. How should he deal with the next situation?
Perhaps, it was time to talk to his little aunt and listen to her ideas. If there was anyone in this world who could make him feel admiration, it was only his little aunt who was as wise as a demon.
At the gate of the Su Family's courtyard, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a black Mercedes-Benz met unexpectedly.
The two cars did not drive straight in as usual, but stopped in front of the gate and got off with tacit understanding.
The aunt and nephew nodded and then walked side by side. After a long silence, Su Chen broke the silence. "It wasn't me."
"I know!"
Su Ningxiang nodded without hesitation.
Su Chen showed a touch of gratitude in his eyes and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid no one will believe it except my little aunt."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Your grandfather and father will definitely believe it."
Su Chen heard these comforting words, but the smile on his face became more and more bitter. In court, it was invalid to testify by immediate family members, let alone this kind of free testimony.
"Since the other party has done this, there must be a backup plan. We will deal with it when it comes. There is nothing to be afraid of. Our Su Family is not a vegetarian."
Su Ningxiang's tone was soft, but it contained a strong determination.
"Well, aunt is right."
Su Chen's expression was obviously a lot more relaxed. He took a deep breath, and his face flashed with a resolute color. He repeated as if to emphasize, "Our Su Family is not a vegetarian."
"Do you have a suspect?"
Su Ningxiang asked in a light tone.
"There are too many targets, so there is no target."
Su Chen grinned and said with a wry smile. This was also something that could not be helped. He always did not like to offend people, but the Su Family was a big family with a big business. They were used to being arrogant and offended many people. What's more, the big family that offended people was around him.
This little aunt was not inferior to men. For the interests of the Su Family, she had never been soft-hearted in the business war. She had always killed without leaving any future trouble, and she had offended many people.
"Tell me what you know, and I will help you analyze it!"
Su Ningxiang knew what he was thinking and said indifferently.
