Third-floor living room in a luxury villa in the South City.

Around fifty years old, a slightly chubby middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, Uncle Wang, stood respectfully on the sofa.

With earnest eyes, he looked at Jiang Fengming, who was sitting on the sofa and was in his twenties, and said, "Young Master, now is not the best time for us to make a move. ”

Jiang Fengming stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out of the window.

Jiang Fengming's eyes were gloomy, and his tone was light, but he said irrefutably: "I can't wait, this is the best time to bring him down!" At the shareholders' meeting in three months, you don't want him to be our new chairman, right?! ”

Uncle Wang didn't say anything more.

I have always been the only one who obeys the orders of the master, but now the master is gone. He recognized the master's only son as the master. What the master decides, he must find a way to cooperate with it.

"Yes, young master, I'll do it."

After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he immediately disappeared into the villa.

Second uncle, one day I will get back everything that belongs to me!

Jiang Fengming raised his glass to the window, raised his head and drank the bitter and astringent wine in the glass.

In the next second, the glass fell to the ground and shattered into a glass slag.

Lin Qiangxiong was walking in the underground garage and was about to open the door when his mobile phone suddenly vibrate.

A text message appeared on the screen of the mobile phone: within three days, prepare 300,000, and write off the events of eight years ago.

Lin Qiangxiong read the text message, and quickly hallucinated around the underground garage cautiously and vigilantly.

There was silence in the garage, and there was no one.

Lin Qiangxiong stroked his chest, and as if he was weak, he quickly opened the car door and drove the car out of the garage.

After Lin Qiangxiong read the text message, his first thought was to hurry home and discuss countermeasures with his wife Su Meixiang.

Happy Home Community

Lin Qiangxiong quickly returned to the first floor of the building where he was located, took out the access card, and opened the door on the first floor.

As soon as Lin Qiangxiong opened the door of the unit on the first floor, a middle-aged man wearing a maintenance worker's costume came out of the door.

Lin Qiangxiong didn't pay much attention.

I usually see a lot of water delivery workers, delivery people, and all kinds of maintenance workers in the corridor, and I don't think much about it.

"Mei Xiang, look."

When Lin Qiangxiong returned home, he didn't have a greasy conversation with Su Mei as usual. He directly took out his mobile phone and showed Su Meixiang the text message he received.

Su Meixiang read the text message, and she was frightened for a while. But after thinking about it, I quickly calmed down.

After so many years, it has been calm.

The police didn't find any clues that year. That incident should never be known to the world.

"Could it be, Lin Qiqi did it? Li Liying disappeared, although some people suspected us at the beginning, but after so many years, the police did not find the slightest clue. Nowadays, no one will remember this incident of Chen sesame rotting grain. Now the only one who cares about Li Liying's disappearance is Lin Qiqi. After all, Lin Qiqi is her daughter. ”

Su Meixiang first thought of the blackmail text message in front of her, maybe Lin Qiqi was playing ghosts.

"If it was really Qiqi who did it, it would be easy to do. Next time Qiqi comes home, let's test her! ”

After listening to Su Meixiang's idea, Lin Qiangxiong felt that there was some truth, and a stone in his heart seemed to have landed.

"Mei Xiang, it's still you at the critical time, be more calm and witty!"

After Lin Qiangxiong finished speaking, he hugged Su Meixiang happily, and pecked Su Meixiang on the face.

"Dead ghost, how is the business going today?"

Su Meixiang inadvertently pushed Lin Qiangxiong away and asked.

"Don't mention it, business is getting more and more difficult to do now, people are getting old and can't keep up with the times," Lin Qiangxiong said helplessly.

Lin Qiangxiong is also telling the truth, his business has been difficult to do in recent years, and the small company can barely sustain itself.

The conversation between the two, Jiang Fengming heard it clearly in his villa.

Jiang Fengming has almost investigated the beginning and end of Li Liying's disappearance.

Another mastermind of Li Liying's disappearance case was Jiang Mutian, the new chairman of Fengming Group. is also his second uncle of Jiang Fengming.

Jiang Fengming used a lot of tricks to bring down his second uncle Jiang Mutian, but it didn't have the slightest effect.

Jiang Fengming also learned by accident that the second uncle was involved in such an old case. Naturally, this opportunity could not be missed. There is no 100% possibility of hitting with one hit, and Jiang Fengming will not make another attack easily.

So this time, he must let his second uncle confess his guilt conclusively and withdraw from the Fengming Group.

Lin Qiangxiong, Su Meixiang, Li Liying, Lin Qiqi.

Jiang Fengming pondered over these names, planning what to do next.

In the confidant teahouse in Nancheng, Lin Qiqi and Jiang Fengming sat opposite each other.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, there were no other guests in the tea house, and it was very quiet.

Lin Qiqi looked at Jiang Fengming opposite suspiciously, took out his mobile phone and handed a text message to Jiang Fengming.

"Did you send me a message asking me out?"

There is only a short line of words on the text message: Li Liying may not be dead, come to the Zhixin Teahouse quickly.

When he received the text message, Lin Qiqi was about to go to the school cafeteria to eat, and he left the campus without thinking about it, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment and came to the Zhixin Teahouse.

"Lin Qiqi, before the third year of junior high school, was a genius girl in everyone's eyes. When I fell from my balcony in the third year of junior high school, I became a waste material from then on, which is really embarrassing! ”

Jiang Fengming looked at Lin Qiqi and smiled evilly, and talked about Lin Qiqi's life like a treasure.

"The purpose of your coming to me today, tell me directly."

Lin Qiqi looked at Jiang Fengming in front of him and said lightly.

"It's simple, I need you to restore your true colors, a genius girl. I know you can. Then he became Jiangnan's girlfriend, approached Jiang Mutian, and then acted according to my instructions. ”

Seeing that Lin Qiqi was unmoved, Jiang Fengming continued: "In return, I will find out the truth about your mother Li Liying's disappearance for you, and give your mother justice." If you're lucky enough and your mother is still alive, you can be reunited again. ”

"It's not difficult to grow to be the first in the school. But, who is Gangnam? What charm can I have to make him like me? Besides, why should I trust you? ”

"You don't have a choice. Because there is no one in this world who can really help you except me. Stop pretending to be by your side in order to stay by Su Meixiang and Lin Qiangxiong. Look at all these years, have you gained the slightest? What useful information can you get from reading newspapers for so many years? As long as you show up by Gangnam's side, I can guarantee that he will fall in love with you! ”

Jiang Fengming's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through Lin Qiqi at a glance, made Lin Qiqi feel uncomfortable.

His plan for so many years, in Jiang Fengming's opinion, is actually naïve and ridiculous?

"You have to tell me who you are. You know me so well, you have no reason to hide something from your partner. ”

Very good, very good!

Jiang Fengming was very satisfied with Lin Qiqi's performance.

"I am Jiang Fengming, the second shareholder of Fengming Group. Others, when you should know, will naturally tell you. This is my private number, there is nothing special we don't want to contact. In one year, as long as you cooperate with me, a year later, I will give you a truth! ”

After Jiang Fengming finished speaking, he got up and left the Zhixin Teahouse.

Lin Qiqi looked at the phone number left by Jiang Fengming on the table and fell into deep thought. Soon, Lin Qiqi's eyes were firm and he walked out of the Zhixin Teahouse.

This time, Lin Qiqi decided to take a gamble.

Since he is by his stepmother's side, he has endured it for many years without finding the slightest and making no progress. Then she Lin Qiqi chose to believe that Jiang Fengming was once.

Maybe this time, it will be a great opportunity to find my mother.

Coming out of the Zhixin Teahouse, Lin Qiqi went directly to the school leader's office.

The students in Class C took the initiative to ask to be transferred to Class A, and it was the first time that the teachers present had encountered such a thing.

Most people just ignored Lin Qiqi's brain convulsions. Only Ji Bai's homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang Xiaoping, felt that Lin Qiqi's courage was commendable.

happened to be free in the afternoon, so Wang Xiaoping decided to give Lin Qiqi a chance to take a separate exam and prove himself.

Lin Qiqi took the test paper handed over by Wang Xiaoping, immediately sat down in the office, and quietly began to answer the questions.

Three hours later, Wang Xiaoping unbelievably took a mathematics test paper and a science comprehensive test paper that Lin Qiqi had completed, and walked to the other teachers present.

While others need at least four hours to complete the test papers, Lin Qiqi completed them in three hours, and they were all full marks.

The test paper was randomly selected by Wang Xiaoping, and the person was personally watched by Wang Xiaoping, and there was no possibility of cheating.

"Classmate, what's your name? You can transfer to my class today! ”

A male teacher who applied for Lin Qiqi's application for class transfer before, and was not impressed, turned on the snatching mode as soon as he read the test papers that Lin Qiqi had completed.

"Teacher Wang, my name is Lin Qiqi, I want to prove myself again through the second monthly exam before coming to your class."

Lin Qiqi looked at Wang Xiaoping and said affirmatively.

"Okay, okay, okay, then I'm waiting for you to join!"

Wang Xiaoping was very excited if he had received a treasure.

Three days before the monthly exams, the school gives students a three-day holiday as usual.

Lin Qiqi did not return to Lin Qiangxiong's house as usual. Instead, he went to the northern city to visit his grandmother.

"Grandma!"

Lin Qiqi pushed open the door of the bookstore and ran straight to the old woman in her sixties and nearly seventy years old who was sitting in the store. Squatting on the old woman's lap, tears almost falling.

Grandma was also very happy to see Lin Qiqi come back, and hurriedly helped Lin Qiqi up, looking at Lin Qiqi with pity to see if Lin Qiqi was fat or thin.

Lin Qiqi's mother was pronounced dead four years ago because she had been missing for four years.

Since the age of ten, the only person in the world who is still really good to Lin Qiqi is his grandmother.

Four years ago, the same day my mother was pronounced dead. His father, his wife, Su Meixiang, got a certificate to register their marriage. The next day, he held a wedding with Su Meixiang, and held a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

Lin Qiqi still remembers the day his mother disappeared.

That day was Lin Qiqi's tenth birthday.

's mother was busy with Lin Qiqi's birthday party, but her father didn't return for a long time.

When the party was about to start, my mother answered a phone call and hurried out of the house and never came back until it was dark.

The next day, his father Lin Zhongxiong finally returned home, but brought Lin Fei'er a thunderbolt from the blue: her mother was missing, and she hired someone to find a night, but to no avail.

At first, Lin Zhongxiong seemed to be very active in finding his mother's whereabouts. It didn't take long for him to plunge headlong into his own business.

His father, Lin Zhongxiong, was often away from home for the whole month on the grounds that he was busy with business.

Grandma was relieved that Lin Fei'er was alone, so she simply took Lin Fei'er to live with her.

When he was a child before, Lin Qiqi did not doubt the authenticity of his mother's disappearance. is just complaining about his father, too busy with his career and neglecting his mother and himself. It wasn't until I overheard the conversation between my stepmother and my father Lin Zhongxiong that I realized that my mother's disappearance may not be simple.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, Lin Qiqi found an excuse to move back to his house.

Lin Fei'er originally followed her stepmother Su Meixiang's surname Su, named Su Fei'er, and came to her house with Su Meixiang. On the day her stepmother married her father, Sophie changed her surname to Lin Feier.

Stepmother Su Meixiang was very harsh on Lin Qiqi, who returned to the Lin family.

If it weren't for his grandmother's support, Lin Qiqi's previous life, clothing, food, housing and transportation would be even more unsatisfactory.

Although Lin Zhongxiong is not a rich and noble person, it is not a problem to keep a few members of the family and live a prosperous life. However, the financial power of the family is in the hands of Su Meixiang. My father has never cared much about Lin Qiqi's life and learning.

So as long as Su Meixiang doesn't behave too much towards Lin Qiqi, Lin Zhongxiong also turns a blind eye most of the time.

Grandma is old, Lin Qiqi feels sorry for her grandmother, and she doesn't want her to be too tired. I asked my grandmother to sell the bookstore out, but my grandmother refused in various ways.

Lin Qiqi knew in his heart that his grandmother was working hard to support the bookstore all for herself.

Grandma has no other children, just Lin Qiqi's mother has a daughter. Now there is only one granddaughter like Lin Qiqi left, who naturally holds her love on the tip of her heart.

It's autumn, but it's still hot.

Lin Qiqi is wearing a dress today, with goose-yellow cotton embellished with osmanthus, a layer of light yarn outside, and a dress that reaches to the ankles. On his feet, he wears a pair of black leather shoes with a slight heel. Tied around his waist, a thin belt exposed Lin Qiqi's slender waist. The long hair of natural wheat color is naturally draped, and a headband is just right to embellish it.

It's obviously not powdered, but it's so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

After sending off a few guests, Lin Qiqi continued to return to the cashier counter to do the unfinished questions of the "College Entrance Examination Mock Science Comprehensive Paper" just now.

There was only one last chemistry question left, and Lin Qiqi finished the whole set of test papers. Although it was only a multiple-choice question, Lin Qiqi had no clue at all, and bit the pen and fell into deep thought.

"Pick C."

A voice seemed to come from above his head.

Lin Qiqi looked up and saw Ji Bai with a bright face who was smiling. I saw Ji Bai take out two old popsicles from behind him and raise them at Lin Qiqi.

"No, eat a popsicle to replenish your brain~"

Lin Qiqi took a popsicle from Ji Bai's hand, said thank you, and opened the bag to eat.

"Don't you ask me why I'm coming to your bookstore today?"

Ji Bai saw Lin Qiqi eating popsicles by himself, he didn't pay much attention to himself, and asked first without holding his breath.

"Oh, why did you come to my bookstore today?" Lin Qiqi picked up Ji Bai's original words and asked.

Lin Qiqi was actually a little curious about why Ji Bai visited his bookstore.

Is it a coincidence? No.

After all, the southern city is three hours away from the northern city by train, and it is not far away, nor is it close.

Is it because of yourself?

He specially found it, and it was even more impossible.

Lin Qiqi thought of Ji Bai deliberately coming to find him, this possibility, he couldn't help laughing at himself for being too sentimental.

"I'm looking for a book, and I've searched all the bookstores in the southern city, so I want to try my luck in the northern city."

Ji Bai made up a reason before he came. He wouldn't tell Lin Qiqi that as the son of the richest man in Nancheng, he could easily know all the information about Lin Qiqi from birth to the present.

Only by making up reasons in advance can Lin Qiqi identify it as a chance encounter.

"Oh, what a book, I'll help you find it, if you're lucky."

Lin Qiqi put down the popsicle in his hand, looked at Ji Bai with a serious expression and asked him.

"The little prince, to the little prince, if it is going to be printed and published in 1998, I must find it."

After Ji Bai finished speaking, he couldn't help but admire his ability to lie and admire the five bodies to the ground.

It's 2016, and it's strange to find a 1998 print and publication. Ji Bai couldn't help but give himself 99 likes silently in his heart.

Lin Qiqi glanced at Ji Bai and didn't speak, then walked to the cash register and took out a somewhat old but well-preserved copy of "The Little Prince" from one of the drawers at the bottom

"No, the little prince printed and published in 1998, although it is not very new, since you have specially looked for it, I will give it to you, thank you for today's popsicle, and the thing that almost crushed you last time, please don't dislike it."

Ji Bai picked up the book in Lin Qiqi's hand and turned the pages carefully.

Obviously, this book has been read by Lin Qiqi repeatedly, but it has not been damaged at all, which shows how much Lin Qiqi cherishes it.

This book won't be a relic left to her by Lin Qiqi's mother, right?

Ji Bai guessed like this, and suddenly wanted to slap himself a few times. Isn't it good to just talk about other books? I don't have to say anything about "The Little Prince".

Ji Bai, Ji Bai, now it's up to you how you shirk it!

Just when Ji Bai didn't know what to do, his mobile phone rang.

Ji Bai picked up his mobile phone, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

Ji Bai picked up the phone like a savior, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he preemptively said: "What, Jiangnan, you found the little prince in 1998 in City C?" That's great! That's great! Hurry back and tell Rikai not to look for him. I'll invite you to dinner when I get back. ”

Ji Bai didn't wait for the other end of the phone to answer, and quickly hung up the phone as if relieved.

"Jiangnan found it for me, that, it's not too early, I have to rush back to Nancheng."

"Oh, well~"

After Ji Bai finished speaking to Lin Qiqi, he glanced at Lin Qiqi with imperceptible reluctance, and quickly left the bookstore.

Lin Qiqi looked at the direction in which Ji Bai disappeared, inexplicably a little lost.

It turned out that he really came to look for books.
