Three days later, Song Qingyu was cremated.

Before her death, she told Zhan Rong that if she died one day, then don't erect a monument for her, and don't prepare a grave for her, just cremate her and scatter her ashes into the Rongjiang River.

In accordance with her last wishes, Song Qingge made a very delicate urn after she was cremated, and on a sunny day, Zhan Rong personally scattered her ashes into the Rongjiang River.

Previously, Song Qingge had deliberately found Zhan Rong, hoping that he could send Song Qingyu on his last journey. She has been favored and cared for by him for nine years, and has loved him silently for nine years, and she has not been able to give him anything in this life, but this unrequited love is no one can compare.

Zhan Rong didn't have any opinions, and when it was the Zhan family's family banquet, he turned his head and asked Xiao Qi, "If I send Qingyu, will you mind?" ”

Xiao Qi was making a fuss because Zhan Yi didn't break her crab legs, and said casually without raising her head: "No, you can give it to whoever you like, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

After speaking, he continued to kick Zhan Yi under the table, and did not forget to shout at Feng Zhiyu: "Fifth sister-in-law! Your family style is too bad, this kind of man who doesn't know what to do with pity and cherishing jade, take a break early! I'll introduce you to a better one! ”

Feng Zhiyu lowered his head and smiled, and Zhan Yi slapped Zhan Shu on the head, "You dead girl has hard bones, isn't it?" I owe you clean up, who do you want to introduce to her?! ”

Xiao Qi's fingers pointed at a table of people, and finally landed on Zhan Rong, raising his eyebrows and saying: "I think the fourth brother is good, gentle and considerate, much better than you!" Compared to him, you're a stinking shit! ”

Zhan Rong was stunned for a moment, and the whole family was stunned for a moment.

Although he knew that Xiao Qi had never been able to speak with his brain, these words still deeply pierced Zhan Rong's heart.

She didn't hesitate to push him to someone else, and frankly, it really hurt him.

What Zhan Rong thinks about Xiao Qi can be said to be God knows, you know and I know, but what Xiao Qi's attitude is towards Zhan Rong, everyone really can't see it now.

She has been pampered since she was a child, her mind is very simple, she rarely thinks about these things, she just gags and chases TV series every day, and she has no heart or lungs to the extreme.

If Xiao Qi likes Zhan Rong, but that girl has been mixed with several brothers since she was a child, and she doesn't seem to be very special to anyone, except for a little awe of Zhan Qi, she is the same to everyone else. But if she doesn't like Zhan Rong, compared to those few, she seems to like to stick with Zhan Rong extraordinarily.

So what kind of attitude she has, the family is also a little unpredictable.

The people at the table were very silent, Song Qingge pulled Zhan Qi when he saw this, and whispered, "Do you see anything?" ”

Zhan Qi raised his eyebrows and replied in a low voice: "King Xiang has a dream goddess without a heart?" ”

Song Qingge pursed his lips and shook his head, "I can't say it well, but I always feel that Xiao Qi vs. Zhan Rong is actually not as ...... as everyone sees Compared to the relationship between men and women, I think she seems to be more dependent on Zhan Rong, probably because among the few of you, Zhan Rong is the closest to her. ”

Compared with usual, Zhan Yi seemed to have a much higher EQ today, and he probably saw that Zhan Rong's face was wrong, he immediately raised his hand and flicked it on Xiao Qi's head, frowned, and said: "I want to die, you, she is my woman, who do you want to introduce my woman to?" ”

Xiao Qi pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he said that it was really not good to say these things in front of Feng Zhiyu, and he snorted and lowered his head and continued to eat his own crabs.

Originally, it was just a small episode, and no one present took it seriously, but they didn't expect that one day later, this episode would become a time bomb, and Zhan Xiaoqi became an unspeakable pain in the hearts of everyone present.

*

A few days later, Zhan Qi received a phone call from the person he had sent to investigate the whereabouts of the key.

The man said cautiously on the phone: "Mr. Zhan, the key has been identified, it is the key to a private bank in Kyoto twenty years ago, but this bank has now been acquired by the Kyoto Commercial Bank, if you take the key to the Kyoto Commercial Bank and ask, maybe there will be a result." ”

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Qi thought about it and finally informed Shi Yu.

He had found the key, and he must have wanted to know more about the origin of the key and the cause of their parents' deaths than anyone else.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhan Qi and his brothers took Xiao Qi and Song Qingge to the Kyoto Commercial Bank.

Fortunately, there is an old consultant in the bank who is about to retire is the old man in the past, Zhan Qi handed him the box in his hand, the old man opened it and took out the key, and after carefully identifying it with reading glasses, he nodded, raised his eyes and said, "This key is indeed the key to the safe of Jiacheng Bank." ”

Shi Yu looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure?" It's been more than 20 years, how can you be sure that this is the key to Jiacheng Bank back then? ”

The old man smiled and said: "Because Jiacheng Bank was the largest private bank in Kyoto at that time, all the safes were imported from the United States, the keys were all customized, and a safe was only equipped with one, except for the depositor, even the bank did not have a second one, and this batch of keys was made very uniquely, so my memory is particularly deep." After Jiacheng Bank was acquired by the Bank of Beijing, it notified all the depositors and retrieved their deposited items. However, because of the suddenness of the acquisition, there were still a few depositors' items that were not retrieved in time, and it was only in the next ten years through newspaper searches and media publicity that some overseas Chinese who had gone abroad or went to the sea to do business came back to pick them up. ”

Zhan Qi asked, "Then have all the safes stored back then been taken away?" ”

The old man shook his head, "No, there are still two cabinets, and no one has come to pick them up." But because our bank deposits are generally very valuable things, such as antique jewelry, gold bars and gold nuggets, so the bank does not dare to open it rashly, for fear that one day the depositor will come back to find trouble, and the two cabinets are still in the vault. Since I was transferred from Jiacheng Bank, I am considered an old man, so the president has been putting me in charge of the two safes, waiting for the depositor or his family to pick up the contents, but I have not waited for 20 years. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the well-dressed young men in front of him, and asked tentatively, "Is ...... sir?"

Shi Yu got straight to the point and said: "To be honest, this key is what I found from my late mother, it should be my mother's relics, and after investigation, it was found that it belonged to your bank, but as for what my mother stored in your bank, we don't know very well, so this time I came mainly to open the safe to have a look." ”

The old man nodded, thought for a while, and was a little embarrassed: "But I'm sorry sir, our safes all need double insurance, in addition to the key, we also need an eight-digit password." Because if this kind of thing is easier to lose after all, if the customer loses the key and someone opens the safe, then our bank will not be able to bear this responsibility. Now that you have the key, do you know the password to the safe? ”

"This ......" Zhan Qi is also a bit of a dilemma.

If it is a four-digit password, they have to calculate it for half a day, and it is difficult to match, not to mention that this is an eight-digit password, and it is simply impossible to crack it.

But after all, the things inside were about the relationship between Jing Liang and Lin Nan and Shi Zhongnian back then, no matter what, they had to try their best to open the safe.

A group of people lowered their eyes and began to think about countermeasures, and in the end, Song Qingge reacted first and proposed: "Why don't you try the date of birth?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of several people lit up, and they looked up at each other, and they all thought that this was a good idea.

Zhan Qi immediately said to the old man: "Then please help us try it." ”

The old man's face was a little hesitant, "If you only have the key and don't know the password, according to the regulations, we can't give the password to the other......"

"Old gentleman, this thing is related to an explosion murder case back then, it is very, very serious, you can be accommodating......" Zhan Zheng said and stepped forward and stuffed a stack of money into the old man's hand.

The old man looked at them with an embarrassed face, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, anyway, there are only these two safes left here, these are more than 20 years, except for those close to them, no one should have this key, please come with me." ”

The old man led them straight to the bank's vault, took out the key and opened the first door first, then opened the second door with the password, and made a gesture to them, "Everyone, please come in." ”

Almost all banks have escrow business, and the Beijing Bank is no exception, this vault is very large, there are nearly two hundred safes, the old man took them to the innermost, pointed to a cabinet in the corner and said: "Those two safes have been locked here." ”

Opening the green safe, the old man took out the small safe inside, and sure enough, there was a rusty open lock hanging on it, and there was a combination lock next to it.

Zhan Qi and Shi Yu glanced at each other, stabbed the key into the keyhole, and with a slight twist, the lock opened.

It turned out to be ......

Everyone present gasped in unison, Zhan Qi stabilized his mind, and began to lock the combination again.

The first password he tried was Shi Zhongnian's own date of birth, but he didn't open it after trying it, which proved that it was not this.

Xiao Qi on the side reminded, "Is it Bai Zhi's birthday?" ”

This is also possible, after all, Bai Zhi is the only little wife who has been recognized by Shi Zhongnian for so many years.

She and Bai Ling are twin sisters, Zhan Qi naturally knows Bai Ling's birthday, but he was afraid that Song Qingge would misunderstand, so he explained to her first: "I didn't mean to remember her birthday, I just didn't forget it......"

Song Qingge smiled disappreciatively, "I know, your memory is so good, it's normal that you can't forget it, it's nothing." ”

One sentence made the people next to her couldn't help but praise her, they have all discovered one thing now, that is, Song Qingge's emotional intelligence is really not ordinarily high, this sentence doesn't sound like much, but after thinking about it carefully, she not only gave Zhan Qi face, but also praised Zhan Qi, and also relieved Zhan Qi's psychological pressure, it's just not too smart.

Zhan Yi on the side immediately scolded Xiao Qi, made a look and said, "Learn more." ”

Xiao Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures." ”

Zhan Yi: "......"

However, Zhan Qi used Bai Zhi's birthday but still couldn't open the password, and then they used Lu Jiangxia's birthday, Shi Xia's birthday, in short, they thought of all the people related to Shi Zhongnian, but it took nearly two hours, and they still couldn't open the password lock.

Song Qingge stared at the dilapidated safe, and suddenly said, "Zhan Qi, you try 19660518." ”

Zhan Qi glanced at her with some puzzlement, but he didn't ask more, just lowered his head and turned the number on the combination lock, and when the last "8" was right, with a soft "click", the combination lock really popped open.

Zhan Qi raised his head and looked at her in astonishment, "This is ......"

Song Qingge looked at the lock, couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, I don't know whether it was sarcasm or helplessness, and said: "This is my mother's birth date, I really didn't expect that Shi Zhongnian would use her birthday as a password." ”

Although Shi Zhongnian is indeed perverted and disgusting enough, in terms of his feelings for Zhen Yuan for more than 40 years, he is indeed a pathetic and pitiful person.

The two locks were opened, and Zhan Qi opened the door of the safe, only to find that there was nothing special inside, only two tapes and a document, and there was no label on the tape, so he couldn't tell what it was for.

Afraid that this would be some strong evidence, in order not to leave fingerprints, Zhan Qi took the white gloves handed over by Zhan Zheng, took out the tape and looked at it over and over again, this was a very old tape, which didn't look like something for commercial use.

But now there are too few people listening to tapes, and tape recorders are not common, and if you want to listen to the contents for a while, you have to find a tape recorder.

Seeing this, the old man on the side immediately said, "I still have an old Walkman there, if you don't mind, you can use it." The old man scratched his head embarrassedly, "People are old, and they can't play MP3 with you young people, and it's most comfortable to listen to tapes, so I've always kept them at hand." ”

Zhan Qi nodded and said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

The old man quickly fetched them a Walkman, and kindly gave up the office for them to use.

Zhan Qi plugged the tape into the Walkman, pressed the play button, and a group of people sat down, quietly listening to the contents with bated breath.

With a "rustle" sound, soon there was a sound of people talking inside, and the first one was a male voice full of energy-

"What's the matter with Mr. Shi looking for the two of us today?"

This person's voice was clear and clean, with calmness and calmness, Zhan Qi was stunned for a moment, but only a few seconds to recognize that this was the voice of his biological father Jing Liang. Not only him, but Shi Yu and Xiao Qi next to him naturally heard it, Shi Yu's eyes widened in surprise, and Xiao Qi directly covered his mouth in disbelief.

Then came Shi Zhongnian's voice, although it was twenty years ago, he still spoke in that annoying and frivolous tone, "Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing are really nobles and difficult to invite, and Song Qingtian's right-hand man is different. ”

"Since Mr. Shi knows that our husband and wife are people under Brother Song, don't you think it's a little inappropriate to come out of us like this?"

It was Zhan Qi's biological mother Lin Nan who spoke, Lin Nan's tone was very cold, with disdain and alienation, obviously looking down on Shi Zhongnian.

Shi Zhongnian smiled, "It's just a matter of communicating feelings, Mrs. Jing doesn't need to be so guarded, right?" ”

Lin Nan snorted and didn't say anything, Jing Liang said: "What's the matter with Mr. Shi, just say it directly?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I know that the two of you are Song Qingtian's people, but the two of you should also know that Song Qingtian and I want to come to each other, with him without me, with me without him, I want to talk to the two of you today, I don't know if the two of you are interested in leaving Song Qingtian and being my middle-aged person?"

His tone was very steady, and when he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent, obviously Lin Nan and Jing Liang were a little surprised.

The silence lasted for nearly half a minute, and just when people were almost driven crazy by this half minute, Jing Liang opened his mouth first, "As far as I know, Mr. Shi also has a lot of capable men under him, and there should be no shortage of the two of us, so why does Mr. Shi have to dig into our corners?" ”

Shi Zhongnian sneered and replied confidently: "Because you are Song Qingtian's people." ”

Jing Liang smiled, "Just because we are old Song people, you want to dig us?" ”

"I know that both of you and your husband are people who have returned from studying in Cambridge, and one is studying business and the other is engineering, which can be said to be the pillars of Song Qingtian's subordinates. And as far as I know, you two have most of Song Qingtian's economic pulse, so I need you. ”

For Chinese mainland in the eighties, the international students who came back from Cambridge studying abroad are very, very golden, and can be said to be the top high-end talents in the country.

Even Song Qingge was a little surprised, she had never heard Zhan Qi say that her parents studied in Cambridge before, and now she seemed to suddenly understand why the three of their brothers and sisters were so good.

Lin Nan was originally born in a scholarly family, and he looked down on people like Shi Zhongnian the most, and immediately sneered, "Do you need us, or do you need the resources in our hands?" ”

Shi Zhongnian said shamelessly: "Doesn't the need for you mean the resources in your hands?" It makes no difference. ”

Hearing his wife's unkind tone, Jing Liang immediately said: "It's better to make things clearer." ”

"I want Song Qingtian to die." Shi Zhongnian's tone suddenly cooled down, and he said bluntly: "The Song family can be said to rely on the two of you to support it, as long as the two of you leave, Song Qingtian will not be able to hold on." ”

Lin Nan did not hesitate: "Brother Song is kind to our husband and wife, what benefits do you want to dig us up?" ”

"Shiyuan is 100% and 30% of the shares, and you and your wife are 15%." Shi Zhongnian didn't smile, "You must know that this number is not low, and I only account for 12% of it, and you husband and wife can directly pull me off the horse together, how about it?" Think about it? ”

The conversation fell silent again, Jing Liang and Lin Nan were about to think, and after a while, Lin Nan said: "You came to us today too suddenly, we haven't thought about it yet, let's go back and think about it." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a week, you think slowly."

This is the end of the content of the first tape, and a group of people are a little dull after listening to it, and they already have the answer in their hearts, but they dare not make up their minds.

Zhan Qi put the second tape into the listening voice and pressed the play button.

The first voice to come was still Shi Zhongnian's voice, "I didn't expect the two of you to take the initiative to find me, how about it, how did you think about it?" ”

Jing Liang said: "My wife and I have already thought about it, and the conditions given by Mr. Shi are really tempting, so we decided to agree to you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Song Qingge's eyes immediately widened and he looked at Zhan Qi in astonishment.

She never expected that Jingliang and his wife would really betray the Song family.

However, Zhan Qi just tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, listen to it first." ”

Shi Zhongnian laughed, "Why is Mr. Jing so happy today?" It's not like you anymore. ”

"Because we have to think about the future, we have to think about our children."

"Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing are smart people, and they will never let you suffer when they are in the middle of their lives with me. Since the two of you agreed, then it was decided, by the way, in order to ensure safety, so we have sent someone to record our conversation in advance, as evidence of our cooperation, these recordings will be deposited in the safe deposit box of Jiacheng Bank, if one party repents one day, the other party can use these recordings to sue. The safe deposit box of Jiacheng Bank has two locks, for the sake of fairness, one of us holds the key of one lock, and the two hold the key of the clear lock, I use the combination lock, and the unlock must be held by both, otherwise there is no way to open the safe, how? ”

Jing Liang said: "Yes, Shi always thinks very thoughtfully." ”

Shi Zhongnian was very proud, "Then it's decided, as long as the two of you transfer Song Qingtian's customer information and working capital to my account, we will sign the share transfer agreement immediately." ”

Lin Nan said: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

The recording came to an abrupt end, and then Zhan Qi picked up the document, which was indeed Shiyuan's equity transfer letter, and the three of them had already signed their names.

There was silence in the office, and everyone was pondering something in their own hearts.

After Zhan Qi went to Zhan Gate, he begged Zhan Lu to send someone to investigate the matter for him, and the result was that Song Qingtian moved on the Jing family's gas in order to take revenge on Jing Liang and Lin Nan, who had jumped ship, which led to an explosion.

But now that he has listened to these recordings, if it was really his parents who betrayed him first, then even if Song Qingtian retaliated against them, could it be said that he could take it for granted?

If this is the case, then it means that his biological parents are to blame for everything.

In the end, he still failed Song Qingge.
