Chapter 216: Old Man Qiao is dead
Huo Yunzheng was woken up by the vibration of the phone.
He opened his eyes, and his head was clear.
Gently raised his head, gently moved the woman sleeping on his arm to the pillow, watched her head arch, and then fell asleep soundly, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed carefully, picked up the nightgown next to him and put it on.
Picked up the phone and walked out of the room.
Went to the study.
It's a routine for him to wake up every morning.
It's just that today's call was not from Chen Yun in China.
It was Ling Jingfan's phone call.
He frowned, answered the phone, and Ling Jingfan's somewhat tired voice came from there: "BOSS, there is a situation." ”
"What's going on?"
"The old man of the Qiao family died last night."
Huo Yunzheng's body stiffened slightly, even if he had no expression, his face was a little colder at this time: "What's the matter?" ”
"When the maid entered the room this morning, Old Man Qiao's body was cold and he was shot to death."
Ling Jingfan was also very surprised.
Obviously, when he went to see Old Man Qiao before, he was still planning to stuff his granddaughter to Huo Yunzheng.
I didn't expect to die after only a few days of not seeing him.
"The last person to leave from Old Man Qiao's study last night was Qiao Jin Yu."
Huo Yunzheng was stunned: "But Old Man Qiao died in the room." ”
"Yes, the problem now is that Qiao San firmly believes that it was Qiao Jin Yu who killed the old man, and now he has begun to collect the people outside the Qiao family."
"What is Qiao Jinyu's situation now?"
Ling Jingfan poured the cold coffee in his hand, his scarlet eyes showed that he hadn't slept all night, and his voice was a little hoarse: "It's not good, Qiao Jin Yu has been busy in the Chinese market in China for the past two years, and he is obviously a little loose about the industry in the United States, and he is ready to hold a board meeting in the morning." ”
Huo Yunzheng was silent for a few seconds, and then said lightly: "I know, I will go to the board meeting." ”
"BOSS, I think ......"
"Needless to say, I have to go over this matter, and it's time for people to know who the Riley family is in charge of this generation."
Ling Jingfan didn't know how to dissuade him.
In fact, Huo Yunzheng's current focus is also on the Huaguo side, and it is not suitable for exposing too much in the United States.
Even if he wants to be exposed, he must at least wait until the Chinese market is stable, and then settle Lin Man and the child before exposing his identity.
"It's too risky."
Huo Yunzheng pursed his lips, leaned back, and said in a deep voice: "I know, but ......"
"When I was most helpless, it was Qiao Jinyu who reached out to help me, and I still have to know how to repay Entu."
Ling Jingfan was suffocated when he heard such a reason.
In good conscience, Huo Yunzheng's actions were the best for their subordinates.
A sentient and righteous boss, at least make their brothers more willing to follow.
If he's that kind of indifferent boss, I'm afraid no matter how fiery his heartfelt heart is, it will slowly cool down.
"Do you need me to prepare anything for you?"
"How's it going about Lynman going to Riley's family tree?"
Ling Jingfan was stunned: "Her name has been added." ”
Huo Yunzheng hooked his lips: "That's good, in order to prepare the Riley family's car, then, transfer Chen Xue, Chen Bing, Chen Miao, and Chen Lei back, and let Chen Xue and Chen Bing follow Xiaoman." ”
Ling Jingfan was slightly stunned.
Immediately hooked his lips, it seems that this time the boss wants to make a big news.
But......
He licked his lips excitedly, people who mix them are born with a spirit of not admitting defeat and daring to take risks.
So this time, for him, it is a matter of exercising people.
"Okay, I'll call now."
"Hmmm......"
Ling Jingfan hung up the phone anxiously.
Huo Yunzheng stood at the window of the study, looking at the scenery outside the window with a long look.
lit a cigarette that he hadn't smoked for a long time, and the smoke was thick, blurring his cold and resolute face even more.
The spicy nicotine irritated his throat.
After a while, I picked up my phone again and dialed out.
The phone rang for a while but no one answered, Huo Yunzheng's eyebrows did not move, and he looked patient.
Finally, the phone was finally connected.
The voice that came was full of exhaustion: "Yun Zheng." ”
"Jin Yu ......"
Qiao Jin Yu smiled bitterly: "I didn't kill my grandfather." ”
"I know."
"But they didn't believe me."
Because everyone knows that after the death of Old Man Qiao, the Qiao family will be the master of Qiao Jin Yu.
"Even my father didn't trust me."
Huo Yunzheng's voice was extremely cold, revealing ruthlessness: "Jin Yu, I can stand up and support you, but you have to stand up on your own, now there is no evidence that you killed the old man, everyone in the Qiao family's mansion that night is suspicious, your top priority now is to find out the murderer." ”
Qiao Jin Yu rubbed his face, his sour eyes closed tightly, and after a long while, he opened it faintly.
"I know, thank you, I owe you a favor for this matter."
Huo Yunzheng hooked his lips: "Well, you just need to know whether you have killed someone or not, if you don't, then no one can force you to confess." ”
I don't know why, Huo Yunzheng's words gave Qiao Jin Yu infinite confidence.
He leaned back in his chair, his mind relaxed.
"Hmmm......"
"I've hung up the phone, if there's anything you need help with, just say it."
"Good ......"
Huo Yunzheng hung up the phone.
He smoked another cigarette before he walked to the window, pushed it open, and let the morning wind blow the smell of smoke away from him.
After a long while, he turned around and returned to the room, lifted the quilt and got back into bed, hugged the delicate body into his arms, and rubbed it tightly, the feeling of powerlessness hanging in the air, and then gradually retreated, looking at the woman's delicate and picturesque eyebrows, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Man, I hope I can succeed immediately."
Lin Man, who was sleeping in a daze, turned around, reached out and patted the man's back gently.
It's as if you're putting a baby to sleep.
This subconscious action instantly softened Huo Yunzheng's heart.
He hugged her hand tightly, his thin lips close to her ear, and whispered a promise: "Xiaoman, I will let you live the best life." ”
"Hmm......"
Lin Man, who was sleeping in a daze, seemed to feel that the man was saying something in his ear.
But the heavy sleepiness was even stronger, so that she couldn't even open her eyes.
I had no choice but to fall asleep again in a daze.
Looking at her squeamish appearance, Huo Yunzheng subconsciously hooked his lips, but after coming back to his senses, the matter about the Qiao family was still a mess.
The good-looking sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning again.
…………
And the Qiao family at this time.
It's a mess.
Qiao Jinyu sat on the main seat, looking at the uncles, brothers and sisters with different expressions below.
The only person who looked haggard and was only sad for Old Man Qiao was Qiao Jingshan, who knew early that she had no inheritance rights and was not old enough, she sat beside Qiao Jin Yu obediently, holding his fingers tightly, and cheering for her brother with her meager strength.
They are all waiting for a lawyer.
Even if the murderer of Old Man Qiao has not been found at this time, the inheritance has already begun to be distributed.
"The eldest brother is really calm, if it weren't for your son, the old man wouldn't have died, you can still sit here and wait with peace of mind, you are so thick-skinned."
It was the third child of the Qiao family who said this, Qiao San.
The boss of the Qiao family snorted coldly and glanced at him coldly: "It's better to say less if there is no evidence, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”
"I'm so scared, otherwise how about you let Jin Yu kill me too?"
Qiao San didn't feel scared, but grabbed his fingers and sneered casually.
"Jin Yu won't want to kill you, after all, it's tiring to kill you, but it's just an illegitimate child, do you think the old man still treats you as a green onion?" It was the second master of the Qiao family, Qiao Jingyan's father, and the famous old man of the Qiao family.
If it weren't for Old Man Qiao's accident this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have returned to Qiao's house.
"Daddy—"
Qiao Jingyan couldn't help but shout sharply.
At this time, I don't know what kind of mess he is wrapped in, he has no son, if he makes trouble again, it is estimated that he will not even be able to guarantee his life.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyan felt sad for a while.
The old man is here, she is the eldest lady of the Qiao family, if the old man is gone, the person in charge will be replaced by Qiao Jin Yu.
She changed from the eldest lady to the daughter of the Qiao family who was separated from the room.
The status behind him can be said to have plummeted.
At this time, she couldn't help but regret a little, she knew that the old man died so quickly, and she wouldn't have let Huo Yunzheng help her get out of the marriage.
Otherwise, she has now found a rich husband and lives an easy life.
Thinking like this, between her eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.
Qiao Jingfei sat quietly beside Qiao Jin Yan, she was the daughter of Sanfang, but she didn't even have the status of an illegitimate child.
"I said, Qiao Er, you haven't been home for many years, I heard that the old man is dead, and you came back in such a hurry, what are you doing here?"
Not to be outdone, Qiao San retorted, holding his chin in his hand, with an indifferent expression: "Besides, I don't want anything else, my mother's stall has to be returned to me." ”
"You can get it if you want it? Naive. ”
Qiao Er was not affected at all.
This sentence was about Qiao San, but it was like a slap in the face of the other people present.
Yes, they each have what they want, but can they really get what they want?
Qiao Jin Yu didn't speak all the time.
Except for Qiao Jingshan, no one else spoke to him.
Qiao Jingyan silently raised her eyes and glanced at him, and sighed helplessly.
I don't know what to do in the future.
The future is bleak.
I don't know how long it took.
The closed door suddenly pushed open from the outside.
At the forefront was a tall man in a black suit, while in his hand he held a petite, soft woman in a pink and purple dress, with a symbolic emerald ring on her finger and a very gentle expression.
Suddenly, there was silence for everyone present, and after a while, there was an uproar again.
"Huo Yunzheng, this is the Qiao family's business, what do you want to do when you appear?"
Qiao San couldn't help jumping out all of a sudden.
Everyone knows that Huo Yunzheng is Qiao Jin Yu's friend, and it is definitely not a good thing to appear here.
Huo Yunzheng looked innocent: "Didn't you say that you want to read the will?" We, the shareholders, weren't you invited to come and testify? ”
Shareholder? 、
Everyone looked at Huo Yunzheng in disbelief. 、
When did Huo Yunzheng become a shareholder of the Qiao family?
"Mr. Riley, please be seated."
The housekeeper dragged Huo Yunzheng to the wide leather seat behind the table with an indifferent face, and also moved a chair for Lin Man very intimately.
Mr. Riley?
Could it be ......
But isn't Huo Yunzheng just the name of the Riley family? When will you be the master of the Riley family?
