Fang Jiawen looked out the window at the quiet night in the distance, and the evening breeze brought the slightest chill of early winter.

Lin Qingrou originally thought that she should never see Fang Jiawen again, but things are always so coincidental. Fang Jiawen unexpectedly said an invitation to chat with Lin Qingrou, although Lin Qingrou didn't know what Fang Jiawen wanted to talk about, she still agreed.

The two were silent to each other, Fang Jiawen kept quietly looking out of the window, and Lin Qingrou, she couldn't speak.

"He kept asking me to give birth to the baby, and this may be my punishment." Fang Jiawen finally broke the silence and said calmly. There was a hint of hoarseness in her voice.

Lin Qingrou knew that what Fang Jiawen was talking about was the man in black who appeared in Du Zeming's ward before. The child in Fang Jiawen's belly belongs to this person.

"You don't seem to be in good spirits." Lin Qingrou handed over the phone and let Fang Jiawen glance at it.

Fang Jiawen laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I originally thought that I could cope with this kind of upper-class life of fighting for power and profit, and I used to think that I was so comfortable living in the Du family's mansion. It's a pity that I was too clever and ended up being the plaything of these men. ”

"I advise you to cut off all contact with the Du family as soon as possible. I lost this game, and you can't afford to play it, only by trying your best to escape from this filthy so-called upper class can you have the opportunity to pursue the life you want. ”

Fang Jiawen said, taking out a cigarette and a lighter from her small bag. Seeing that she was about to pick up the cigarette and send it to her mouth, Lin Qingrou couldn't help but step forward and snatch the cigarette from Fang Jiawen's hand. Fang Jiawen was obviously caught off guard by Lin Qingrou's move, and was stunned for a while.

Lin Qingrou pinched off the cigarette in her hand and threw it out of the window. She looked at Fang Jiawen, and suddenly felt that this woman, who had always appeared in front of her with a proud attitude, looked so helpless and pitiful at this time, and she felt a little sympathetic to Fang Jiawen.

Fang Jiawen smiled bitterly, looked at Lin Qingrou and said: "The previous reports and articles that circulated were revealed to reporters by me, and some people want to make the inside story of the Du family's life public, so as to expose the true face of the Du family's hypocrisy and ugliness." The Du family has got into trouble with an opponent, didn't you want to take your son Du Lin away from the Du family before? I advise you to take action as soon as possible, otherwise Du Lin will definitely be implicated, once the Du family is defeated, then he will not get anything even if he stays in the Du family. ”

Lin Qingrou was very curious about who Fang Jiawen said wanted to bring down the Du family, but unfortunately Fang Jiawen no longer paid attention to what she was typing on the mobile phone screen. Fang Jiawen picked up her bag, turned around and walked past Lin Qingrou, Lin Qingrou heard her hoarse voice and said: "Lin Qingrou, you and I are both victims of the struggle of the wealthy, you are so self-conscious." ”

Fang Jiawen gradually walked away, and muttered to herself: "I'm really bored talking to a mute." ”

She took another cigarette from her purse, expertly put it in her mouth, and lit it for herself.

Lin Qingrou looked at Fang Jiawen's back and felt that there was such a sadness, which existed in herself before, and now it also exists in Fang Jiawen, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Du Zeming was not at home this night, and he was not at the company or the bar. In the dim light, two men sat facing each other on the sofa in the living room. The figure of one of the men appeared a little low and trembling, while the other was tall and solemn.

Before getting off work today, Du Zeming received a message from Lian Nuo, and he helped Du Zeming find the missing Zhao Ran. So, according to the address sent by Lian Nuo, Du Zeming happened to block Zhao Ran's way before he left.

"Zhao Ran, you have been working in Hongming Group for six years, and you have been my assistant for almost three years." The tall, tall figure was the first to speak.

"Yes, Mr. Du, I'm sorry." Zhao Ran said in a slightly weak tone.

"Well, there's nothing to say about our acquaintance, and we get together and disperse, but I'd love to know why you betrayed me?" Du Zeming came this time to know the answer to this question. Because he had to find out who was behind it against the Du family.

Zhao Ran replied expectantly: "I can't afford to mess with those people, they keep threatening my family, and even go to my sister's hospital to cause trouble, which makes our whole family uneasy." ”

"So, you promised the gang that they did something to my office and stole the footage from my computer?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Du. I want to trade these things for them so that they don't bother my family anymore. ”

"Why don't you call the police, or you can tell me directly, with the strength of our Du family, can't we protect you?"

Zhao Ran raised his head, looked at Du Zeming with very helpless eyes, and said: "We are just ordinary people, we don't want to participate in the grievances and hatreds between your wealthy families, I just want them to let me go, so that our family can live in peace." ”

"Well, you've done all those things, and do you expect to be safe? I can prosecute you on suspicion of theft, leaking trade secrets, etc. Du Zeming said mercilessly, "If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price, Zhao Ran, you won't understand this." ”

As soon as Zhao Ran heard the indictment, his whole body trembled, and he almost begged and said: "Please let Mr. Du let me go this time, I was also forced to be helpless, for the sake of me for so many years of contributing to Hongming Group, please forgive me." ”

"Yes, but you have to tell me who is behind you?"

Zhao Ran shook his head vigorously and said eagerly: "I don't know, Mr. Du, I really don't know, they have always taken the initiative to contact me and tell me what to do, but they never reveal their true identity in front of me, so I really don't know." ”

"You'd better think clearly, do you prefer to go to jail, or tell the truth, with the ability of our Du family, we can let you stay in prison for a few more years." Du Zeming further threatened Zhao Ran and said.

Zhao Ran still shook his head, it seemed that he had truthfully explained what he knew.

Du Zeming felt that it was meaningless, so he didn't plan to ask any more.

Du Zeming originally hoped that he could know from Zhao Ran who the Du family's opponent was this time, but unfortunately Zhao Ran was just a pawn used by others, and there was no way to bring him useful information. Since Du Hongming appeared in Xiushan, Du Zeming also wondered if Du Hongming had single-handedly planned these incidents against the Du family. From the negative articles that exposed the inside story of the Du family's life, to the secretly exchanged videos of the charity donation scene attended by her mother Li Shujun, to the two videos circulating on social software such as self-media, these planned and purposeful behaviors can only be achieved by organizations or individuals with strong backgrounds.

But Du Zeming quickly alleviated his suspicion of Du Hongming, because according to his investigation, Du Hongming's return to China has not been long, and he should not have enough time to prepare for this series of incidents against the Du family, not to mention the inside story of Du's private life, which is not something that he, the abandoned son of the Du family who has lived abroad for many years, can learn one by one.

interrogated Zhao Ran, but still found nothing, Du Zeming's mood was depressed, he left the apartment where Zhao Ran was hiding, and drove home alone.

Halfway through, he received a call from his mother, Li Shujun, who was emotionally charged on the phone, and Du Zeming was told that Li Shujun had a verbal conflict with someone else when he was attending a dinner party. Both sides are unwilling to stop at the moment, and Li Shujun hopes that Du Zeming can rush there as soon as possible.

After Du Zeming answered the phone, he immediately turned around and went to the high-end club where Li Shujun was. Since the scandal at the charity donation site was exposed, Li Shujun has rarely attended events outside. She is a person with a very good face, and for those who are dissatisfied with her or have conflicts of interest on weekdays, it is a good thing to take this opportunity to slander and attack Li Shujun. Li Shujun can foresee such a scene, she doesn't want to be so slandered and embarrassed, so she can be regarded as living in seclusion these days, and can avoid many invitations to public events.

But this time it was an exception, Li Shujun attended the birthday banquet of a famous old woman in the celebrity circle. This old woman was known as the richest woman when she was young, and now her children are also working in government departments or her own enterprises, and her network is very large, and she is a very appealing lady.

Li Shujun has to attend such a scene, and she also needs to represent the Du family on such occasions to carry out some communication activities, which is the daily social needs of wealthy families. How many business opportunities and cooperation opportunities are discussed on such occasions, and being able to attend such activities is not an ordinary identity, but it is natural that you can join forces, share resources, cooperate to carry out several profitable projects, or win business opportunities with business opportunities, which are all normal things.

But today, there are always some people who provoke trouble for no reason, pointing the finger at Li Shujun. A rich lady who is not accustomed to Li Shujun's pretended posture and hypocrisy on weekdays, this time she saw the opportunity of the Du family's recent frequent accidents and sneered at Li Shujun. It's strange to say that these nobles, who think they are noble, highly educated, and well-cultivated on weekdays, are also very down-to-earth when they quarrel with each other.

Du Zeming could almost foresee how much the scene would be cheap, he would not have cared about these things, but this time he actively obeyed Li Shujun's call. Because of the recent series of times, it has caused a lot of trouble to the Du family or Li Shujun, and it is necessary for him to come forward to show his attitude to his friends in such a circle, and at the same time, he feels guilty for not properly handling these negative events.
