Chapter 66: Qianling's Past
In Bai Linglong's death room, Mu Ziqian's face turned pale, although he was trying his best to hide it, but everyone could clearly see his nervous expression from him. When Qin Jian asked Shu Xiaoran to analyze the red wine placed on the bedside just now, Mu Ziqian's expression was obviously different from the people around him. If he has nothing to do with this matter, if he says it, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Facing Chu Ming's questioning, Mu Ziqian seemed to want to pretend not to know:
"Huh? What the? I don't know! ”
Mu Ziqian seemed hesitant when he said this, and he didn't seem to have any confidence.
Maybe this lie can only fool himself.
"Don't pretend, when Qin Jian asked Xiao Ran to check the wine glass just now, wasn't you the most nervous person? Or who are you worried about? ”
Mu Ziqian was speechless.
Chu Ming went on to say:
"This glass of red wine was brought to Bai Linglong by yourself or by you, am I right, Mr. Mu Ziqian."
"Huh?" As soon as Chu Ming spoke, Mu Ziqian suddenly froze as if he had been told something, and then the expression on his face became even more panicked and uneasy. It seems that a bead of sweat the size of a bean can be seen between its temples.
"Why did you give Bai Linglong this glass of high-strength red wine? What is your purpose? ”
Seeing that Mu Ziqian had not spoken, Ling Yu secretly thought that maybe Chu Ming's conjecture was correct, so he simply asked Mu Ziqian directly.
"No, it's not that I want this, it's someone who told me to do it, I thought it was, it's just..."
Mu Ziqian stood in place, his body was still shaking, his legs were shivering, the temperature in the room was obviously not low, but he showed that he was in the snow outside.
Before he finished his words, it was as if he couldn't finish his words halfway, as if he had solved half a riddle and was about to touch the answer, but for a moment he didn't know anything.
Ling Yu then asked him, "What is this?" What do you think it is? ”
Mu Ziqian took a deep breath, as if he had given up the last cover-up, and wanted to tell everything. He coughed twice in his throat, soothing his nervousness, as if he was thinking that he would only need to prove his innocence.
His voice was a little higher at this time than before:
"I thought it was just a prank!"
"Prank?" Shu Xiaoran, who had been listening, muttered to himself.
Why do you say that this is a prank, Bai Linglong is indeed dead, and her whole body has been stripped of her clothes and is posed like this, as if she is completing a work of art.
And after Qin Jian listened to Mu Ziqian's narration, coupled with what he said before, Qin Jian walked up to Mu Ziqian and continued to ask him:
"You just said that you were instructed to do this, right? Does he want you to give Bai Linglong sleeping pills and high-strength red wine? ”
After Qin Jian finished speaking, Mu Ziqian hurriedly explained:
"No, no, no!" He shook his head vigorously: "He just asked me to give Bai Linglong a glass of high-strength red wine, and he didn't mention the matter of sleeping pills." ”
Mu Ziqian looked at the red wine glass on the bedside table and said:
"Just now I heard you say that sleeping pills and alcohol were detected in Bai Linglong's body, and then you have to check the red wine on the bedside table, and you all know that sleeping pills and alcohol are deadly poisons mixed together, and the alcohol in her body must have been caused by me, I am afraid that this matter will involve me, so I have been afraid."
Ling Yu has been looking at Mu Ziqian, and years of experience have told her that Mu Ziqian doesn't look like he's lying.
"You said that someone asked you to do this, why did he want you to send red wine to Bai Linglong, and one thing, why did you do what he said?"
Ling Yu's words were like a cold wind in the cold winter, and the blade like a blade pierced into Mu Ziqian's heart.
I saw Mu Ziqian look at Bai Linglong, who was white and bloodless on the bed, as if he saw the angel-like figure in his heart a few years ago:
"You don't know, in fact, Bai Linglong is my ex-girlfriend!"
His words stunned everyone present, no one would have thought that the young lady of the Bai family, Bai Linglong, who has the face of an angel, and Mu Ziqian, the young chairman of Ziqian Group, still have a curious past.
Mu Ziqian's eyes were misty, he didn't know where to look, he wanted to see Bai Linglong on the white sheets, but at the same time he wanted to avoid this scene. He leaned his back against the wall, then looked at the chandelier on the ceiling, which was not very bright, and said to Ling Yu:
"At that time, I had nothing, and I was not the chairman of Ziqian Group, compared to me now, I was just a poor student at that time."
"At the beginning, I was still in the entrepreneurial stage, and like most young people with ideals, I wanted to use my own ability to make a career in Chengguang City, but who knows how difficult this road is."
"It was Bai Linglong who changed you, right?" Chu Ming asked.
"That's right, I met Bai Linglong after that, maybe because we were more fateful, and then we got together soon, and she also told me frankly that she was the daughter of Bai Qianfeng, a business elite in Chengguang City, but I didn't want her to be the one, I just cared about her."
"And Linglong may have moved her because of my thoughts, she took a huge amount of money from her father privately and offered me to start a business, at that time, my first thought after I learned about this matter was to let her return the money, if her father knew about it, he would not easily spare her."
"But she told me that the money was equivalent to being lent to me and I would pay it back to her after I succeeded in starting a business, and her father liked this kind of young and idealistic person, and if her father knew that the money was used up like this, he would not blame it."
"Under Linglong's plea, I also accepted that money, and I was really touched by what she did, at that time I thought, if I succeed one day, I will definitely live up to Linglong, and I will personally come to her father Bai Qianfeng to propose marriage."
Mu Ziqian said this, there seemed to be a faint smile on his face, yes, at that time, he should be the happiest time, without too much trouble and pressure, and there is a woman who understands him by his side. Anyone else would enjoy that time.
Qin Jian looked at Mu Ziqian, who had a smile on his face, and said:
"The truth is the same as you thought, you finally succeeded and had your own Ziqian Group."
Mu Ziqian went on to say:
"That's right, with the help of Linglong's money, my career quickly got off to a start, and after that, there was the current Ziqian Group in Chengguang City. After the success of my career, I began to plan to marry Linglong. ”
"And what about later? How could the two of you be separated? Shu Xiaoran couldn't help asking.
Mu Ziqian went on to say:
"Hehe, it's ridiculous to say, after my career success, I basically know everything about the business world, it can be said that I have almost never met opponents in the younger generation, and there is a steady stream of people who work with me."
"But!"
Speaking of this, Mu Ziqian paused slightly, and seemed to say something he didn't want to mention:
"However, a few months ago, because of the problems in the cooperation between the companies, I and another company became each other's biggest competitors, at first I didn't know who the general manager of this company was, they told me that I was just a middle-aged man, and I relied on the business thinking of the younger generation, and quickly made the other company collapse."
"Afterwards, this company was facing bankruptcy, and this matter also went into a lawsuit, and it was only when I was fighting the lawsuit that I learned that the company that I was competing with was the company of Linglong's father Bai Qianfeng."
"When I learned about this matter, I originally wanted not to file a lawsuit, and gave the other party a sum of money, not to mention that the other party was Linglong's father, no matter how to say it, it was also because of the money she borrowed from there that today's Ziqian Group was born. So I just want to be soft, Linglong and I are about to get married, and Bai Qianfeng is my father-in-law, although we haven't met yet. He didn't know me. ”
"I'm afraid that it will affect our relationship in the future, so I plan to rescue Linglong's father's company for this."
"But I didn't expect that after becoming Linglong's father, he didn't care what relationship I had with Linglong, for a business elite like him, losing to me as a hairy boy who had just debuted, if this matter was spread, I was afraid he would suffer from the ridicule of others."
"Therefore, he tried his best to win the lawsuit, only in this way could he save the so-called face on his face, but in the end, what he didn't expect was that because things were not good for him, I tried my best to lose to him, but he still lost the case in the end."
Ling Yu listened to Mu Ziqian's words, and thought about this collection art exhibition, she thought that maybe it was because of Mu Ziqian that his company suffered a huge loss, and he just used the opportunity of the art exhibition to auction and raise a sum of money. And if you use the twin mirrors, you can gather more people.
"But what does this have to do with Bai Linglong?" Ling Yu continued to ask questions to Mu Ziqian.
Mu Ziqian shook his head and smiled bitterly, not at all like he was proud of what he had just said about his own business:
"After Bai Qianfeng lost the lawsuit, Linglong knew about it, she blamed me for why I targeted his father so much, and said that if it wasn't for his father's funds, how could I have achieved today."
"But how did Linglong know the sinister world of the mall, for the innocent her, she would never be able to understand how complicated the world inside was, and besides, at that time I had already left his hand on his father, who insisted on fighting me to the end."
"That's what I said to Linglong, but she didn't believe it, she only trusted her own judgment, and she insisted that I did it on purpose."
"Eventually, she left me!"
Mu Ziqian raised his head, as if he had finished a long story, a story that was important to him but brought him infinite sadness!
