Jingjiang City is located 450 kilometers west of Linjiang.

It is a famous "ore market" in South China.

One-third of the "spiritual ore" in the entire South China region is produced in the mining areas around Jingjiang.

Of these, more than half of them are in the hands of the Fu family, a "big mineral producer" in Jingjiang.

It was late at night.

The city has fallen silent after a day of hustle and bustle, the streets are sparsely populated, and most of the lights in the city have been extinguished.

In a luxury villa in the "Longting Villa District" in the northern suburbs of Jingjiang City, the door is open and the lights are bright.

In the lavishly decorated hall on the first floor, an old man in Tang costume in his sixties reclined on a soft sofa made of exotic animal skins, playing with the rosary beads in his hand with great interest, and his face crawling all over the ravines had a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Behind him, there stood a row of black-clad bodyguards in suits and leather shoes, standing straight, with a cold expression, and the waistband of his trousers was all bulging, obviously hiding "guys".

On the sofa opposite, two young girls were sitting side by side.

One person has long hair like a waterfall, a beautiful face, dressed in white, and a look of anxiety on his pretty face.

The other was dressed in denim, with short hair, and his appearance was also very delicate, and a pair of heroic eyes looked at the old man opposite for a moment, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The old man in Tang costume leaned back on the sofa and looked at each other with the two girls.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the third time you've been here, right?"

"For the fourth time," the short-haired girl corrected.

"Oh...... Yes, yes," the old man in Tang costume patted his forehead, "I almost forgot, plus this time, exactly four times, look at my memory." ”

The short-haired girl snorted coldly, with a sneering look on her face.

The girl in white took over the conversation and said eagerly: "I hope you can tell us Chen Yuan's whereabouts, he has been missing for more than half a month, and if something happens, the school will not be able to explain to Chen Yuan's parents." ”

The old man in Tang costume glanced at her with a smile, but there was no trace of closeness in his tone, and said lightly: "Miss Ning, I have said many times that missing people should go to the police station, I am in the ore business, and I have no obligation to help you find missing people." ”

The short-haired girl sneered: "You are worthy of being a businessman, and you can leave yourself clean in just a few words." ”

The old man in Tang costume frowned slightly, "What does Miss Wu mean by this?"

"What do I mean, you know it in your own heart,"

Wu Qiong's eyes narrowed slightly, "The Fu Group secretly acquired 'Changfeng Mining' as early as half a year ago, and in less than half a year, the mining areas under 'Changfeng' have ceased production one after another, and the 'Baisha Mining Area' has stopped production two months ago. A mining area that has been suspended for two months has suddenly 'returned to the light', resumed production, and is still releasing tasks at Linda to recruit 'mine protectors' with high salaries, don't you think...... Isn't this too weird?"

"So you wanted to ask this. The old man in Tang costume fiddled with the rosary and said with a smile: "This matter originally belonged to 'trade secrets', but the two of them have special identities, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”

As he spoke, he straightened up and said slowly: "I don't deny that Fu's Group acquired 'Changfeng Mining', but the entire acquisition process is strictly implemented in accordance with the laws officially promulgated by Huaxia, and there is no trace of illegal ingredients involved. ”

"The reason why the 'Baisha Mining Area' resumed production is that the group recently received an order from other places to produce a large number of spirit stones in a short period of time. During the production period, I happened to encounter a few 'underground beasts' to make trouble, so I recruited 'mine warriors' from all walks of life to ensure that the production could go smoothly. ”

Wu Qiong listened word for word, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Fu Yunchao, what you said about 'all walks of life.'"

Does it refer to the 'Warriors Association', or does it specifically refer to 'Linda'?"

"I specifically went to the Martial Arts Association to learn about the situation, and they have not received a call from 'Changfeng Mining' recently, and in addition, the 'police intervention' you marked on the 'mission information' is also completely false, how can this be explained?"

"I'm ashamed to say that this thing is ...... It is indeed caused by my lack of supervision. ”

Fu Yunchao put the rosary on his lap and sighed lightly: "I didn't know in advance that the 'Alien Beast Disaster' in the 'Baisha Mining Area' had already caused such a serious impact. Unexpectedly, they misinterpreted what I meant, and secretly concealed it from the police and the 'Warriors Association', and released mission information at Linjiang University. ”

Seeing that Wu Qiong and Ning Xi's faces were not good, he continued: "But don't worry, I have dismissed the main person responsible for this incident and investigated it, and the mission information released at Linda has also been withdrawn in time, and it will not cause any trouble to the teachers and students of your school." ”

Wu Qiong shook his head again and again when he heard this, and secretly cursed, "If there is a father, there must be a son", and turned to look at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi comprehended the meaning, turned to the old man in Tang costume, and said, "Uncle Fu, I have another question. ”

"We have ascertained Fu Qingzhu's true identity. He is not the 'branch disciple' of the Fu family at all, but your son, one of the heirs of the Fu family's estate. Because of some things in the school, there is a lot of contradiction between him and Chen Yuan, and now, the Fu family's Changfeng Mining 'accidentally' released a false task in Linda, and this task was 'coincidentally' received by Chen Yuan, and it didn't take long for Chen Yuan to disappear mysteriously, don't you think all this happened too coincidentally?"

"What do you mean?" Fu Yunchao's face sank and said, "You mean...... With the help of the family business, my son deliberately set a trap to deceive you students at Linda?"

"Yes. Ning Xi did not back down, looked directly into the other party's eyes, and said word by word, "I suspect that Fu Qingzhu has a personal vendetta and uses family power to set up a trap to retaliate against Chen Yuan." ”

"It's nonsense!" Fu Yunchao raised his sleeves and said with a calm face, "Although my Fu family's wealth is not as good as that of the Ning and Wu families, they can't allow two yellow-haired girls to talk in front of me." ”

"Qingzhu has a pure character from a small age, treats people modestly, and over time, he will inherit the Fu family's industry and be in charge alone, how can he fall into his identity and do such a hurtful thing?"

Wu Qiong was about to vomit.

Turning a blind eye to his excesses, he said coldly: "Such a good seedling of 'pure character and modest treatment' should stay in the main vein and cultivate well, what does it mean to send it to the branch vein?"

"That's the family's experience for him," Fu Yunchao said coldly, "As long as he can survive three years, I will hand over the Fu family's property to him to take care of, and this year is exactly the third year." ”

"Okay, the mouth is on your face, it's up to you to say whatever you want," Wu Qiong smiled coldly and stopped talking.

Ning Xi calmed down a little, let out a long breath, and said slowly, "Uncle Fu, I have no intention of offending you. But there are too many inexplicable coincidences in this matter, and all kinds of signs also show that Fu Qingzhu and Chen Yuan's disappearance are absolutely inseparable, if you agree to settle the matter and hand over Chen Yuan, I will also take a step back and no longer continue to investigate this matter, if I have to defend Fu Qingzhu, I will use all means to thoroughly investigate this matter until Chen Yuan is found. ”

The righteous words she said in this passage were loud and clear.

Not only Fu Yunchao was slightly stunned, but even the row of bodyguards behind him changed slightly.

Although Ning Xi's tone was calm, there was a strong threat in his words.

It's nothing more than four words: hand over people to eliminate disasters.

In fact, long before Chen Yuan's disappearance, Ning Xi wanted to use the family power behind him to put pressure on the Fu family.

At that time, the evidence was insufficient, and the family was rashly raised, but there was a suspicion of "making trouble out of nothing and bullying the weak".

In order to collect evidence, she and Wu Qiong ran around day and night for half a month, and endured it until now.

Now that the evidence of the crime is sufficient, he can finally issue an "ultimatum" to the Fu family.

The Ning family is the top three "behemoths" among the eight great families in South China, second only to the Linjiang Ling family and the Jianghuai Mo family in strength.

No matter how you look at it, it is not comparable to the level of the Fu family.

If you add the fifth-ranked "Xihe Wu Family", even the Ling and Mo families will have to retreat, not to mention the Fu family, which is far behind in strength.

"Without Ning Tengchu's support behind her, this little girl would never dare to talk like this, Qingzhu is right, that kid and Miss Ning are indeed tired, otherwise...... How could she move out of the family to protect each other?"

Fu Yunchao sat back on the leather sofa, picked up the rosary from the table, and fiddled with it one by one.

The road now before him is nothing more than three.

First, inform Fu Qingzhu to "let go" and let Chen Yuan live.

Although this can calm Ning Xi and Wu Qiong's anger, there are also great security risks.

Chen Yuan already knew Fu Qingzhu's overall plan, and if he was allowed to return to Linda alive, Fu Qingzhu would inevitably be expelled from Linda. The plan that he had been planning for a long time with "that one" could only be put on hold.

In addition, Chen Yuan had already entered the "Blood Bat Cave" and met the "Demon Bat" that the Fu family had stocked under the mine.

Once he stabs this matter to the police, it will definitely cause endless trouble to the Fu family.

In case the police use the "Blood Bat Cave" as a breakthrough to find out the "secrets" buried under other mines, the Fu family will definitely face a catastrophe, which is obviously not the result that Fu Yunchao is willing to see.

The second is to refuse to admit the account, and resist Ning Xi and Wu Qiong to the end.

At present, this road is not very easy to follow.

Once this is done, it will immediately arouse the anger of the Ning and Wu families, and put the Fu family in a situation where they are under attack.

The relationship between the Fu family and the Ling family is not very stable, and the latter will naturally not offend the two giants of the South China business community at the same time for the sake of a Fu family, Fu Yunchao can only swallow all the evil consequences caused by this incident.

The first and second will not work, and the only way to go is the third road.

Chen Yuan has been missing for half a month, and even if he doesn't die, he is already dying.

As long as he was trapped for a few more days, without the Fu family's intervention, he would already starve to death in the cave.

As soon as Chen Yuan died, the threat to the Fu family disappeared, and when the time came, there would be another scene to "rescue" Chen Yuan and return it to Ning Xi.

As soon as he thought of this, Fu Yunchao's heart suddenly disappeared.

Put the rosary on his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "Just now, the contemptible person was excited for a while, and his tone was too heavy, Miss Ning, don't mind too much." Since you suspect that Qingzhu designed to frame Chen Yuan, I will call him for you, and immediately send more people to carry out a carpet search of the 'Baisha Mine Cave', if it is found that this matter is really done by him, I will punish him heavily, and I will not tolerate it, but if it is not him, then ......"

Just as he was about to continue, a short and fat man dressed as a housekeeper suddenly rushed into the hall, knelt down in front of Fu Yunchao, handed over a psychic mobile phone that had been connected, and said with a crying voice: "Home...... The head of the family, there is an accident in the mine, young master...... The young master ...... him."

Fu Yunchao's smile froze, and before he could finish speaking, he snatched the phone.

After only listening to two sentences, the phone fell out of his hand, and the whole person fell straight back, and fell crooked on the sofa with a "bang", his face was like ashes, and he slowly spit out four words in his mouth: "I ...... when God dies."
