Chapter 19: The Death of Ye Cheng
The hot search list has been dominated by the entertainment industry all year round, and generally speaking, wealthy families choose to be invisible, except for major events such as bankruptcy and heir succession.
But now, the scene is unprecedented. A series of four dark red entries occupy the main list, and the topic is all tightly around the Ye family
Song Shinuo clicked on the hottest one and swept it from top to bottom at a glance:
"At 12:10 noon today, the news that has been circulating on the Internet has been verified, and the Ye family publicly announced the death of their eldest son. It is reported that the son of the Ye family was in the ancestral worship a few days ago, the wheelchair overturned on its side, slipped from the hillside under repair in the Tianci Cemetery, and died of a severe head injury. ”
"The drag racing case that caused a sensation in Kyoto before, resulting in one death and one injury, was indeed the son of the Ye family. The family of the deceased has reported the case many times, but they have all been pressured with money to calm the matter, and once the news was exposed, it caused heated discussions among the masses. ”
"The Ye family assisted the pharmaceutical industry, and fell into negative news, which led to a volatile situation and huge fluctuations in the stock market. Mr. Ye, the chairman of the current group, has only one son, who is the heir? The argument is a mystery. ”
"Shocked! The illegitimate child of the Ye family was exposed, and he made his first public appearance to speak on behalf of the Ye family! ”
Breathing suddenly tightened. Song Shinuo quickly pulled down and clicked to play the latest video. It's very short, it's a fragment of the press conference held by the Ye family.
For a full minute and a half, I saw the person first, and then heard his voice.
Ye He smiled and sat in the main seat, adjusting the microphone. He is taller and thinner, dressed in a decent gray suit, his former bookish aura has faded, and his facial features are handsome and gentle: "Thank you for your concern about this matter, I will briefly reply to a few ......"
His lips were very pale and his blood was weak, and after he finished the long sentence, he clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly twice, and soon a bodyguard came out to protect him. The comments below are polarized, and some people speculate that she may have been thinking too much these days, so she looks a little weak. Song Shinuo knew that Ye He's body had always been like this.
How so? Didn't you go to England for treatment? How could it not be cured?
When the video reaches the end, it repeats and repeats, repeating until her paused fingertips no longer touch the screen, and then automatically jumps to the next one-
"Senior sister? Masters! A slightly nervous call pulled her back to reality, and the little junior brother was raising his hand and waving it in front of her eyes, "What's wrong with you?" It doesn't seem to be very good, is it uncomfortable? ”
I don't know how long it took, but the students in the finance class left early. Song Shinuo was wearing a white experimental coat, and under the light of the computer room, his complexion was colder and whiter, and his expression was solemn.
"It's fine." Song Shinuo shook his head, curled up his faintly trembling fingertips, and clenched his fists to withdraw his pocket. She stepped aside, took the initiative to dial the number for the first time, and was picked up immediately after almost two rings.
"Huo Yizhou." Song Shinuo heard his pretending calm voice and confirmed: "I saw the news." Ye Cheng is dead, right?"
"Nono? To be honest, a little disappointed, I thought you took the initiative to invite me to dinner. Huo Yizhou's low magnetic voice came, he should still be in a meeting, took the mobile phone away, vaguely ordered "pause", and then moved it back to his ear after explaining, and also changed to a quiet place: "Yes, and the cause of death is very strange." There is eighty percent reason to suspect that he was killed, and the news is just a cover for peace. ”
"The murderer and the one who framed me at the birthday party should be the same."
Although there is no intersection, half a month ago, Ye Cheng was a living person that Song Shinuo had seen with his own eyes. She has such a good memory, she can see it through at a glance, and she knows that although the other party is delirious, she is quite protected in the Ye family, and it is impossible to leave people by her side.
In the case of the entire Ye family going to worship their ancestors, so many bodyguards, so many pairs of eyes watching, it could only be that someone inside did it. And the biggest suspect, and at the same time as the biggest beneficiary, the motive is self-evident -
Ye He is on the cusp of extreme turmoil, either turning over in one fell swoop or being ruined.
"The Ye family is already worried about external and internal troubles, and they don't dare to take risks easily. Even if Mrs. Ye made trouble about her son's death again, Old Man Ye insisted on concealing it, just because he was afraid of the outside world. Huo Yizhou chuckled lowly, there was a faint mockery in his words, and he didn't hide his joy, "I released the news." ”
"Seeing that Mrs. Ye loves her son with a heart, but she can't even give a decent public funeral, it's really pitiful. I'll give her a hand. ”
For the rest, let them eat dogs.
-
Since the call has been made, this dinner is of course inevitable, and Song Shinuo can't refuse.
Huo Yizhou intended to make up for the previous aquarium-themed restaurant, and used a lot of power to temporarily clear a table in the fully booked seats.
The restaurant is luxuriously decorated, with a deep blue carved floor at your feet, surrounded by blue screens on all sides, and you can see a variety of fish through the floor-to-ceiling observation panels, as well as a marine life science booklet with an introduction. Huo Yizhou thought that Song Shinuo would be very interested in these, but he was disappointed.
It's not like a simple lack of interest, Song Shinuo frequently wanders, as if he has not yet broken free from the buffering afterglow of a huge event, and his eyes are a little dignified. Huo Yizhou stared at her side face for a while, sighed, and knocked on the table with his fingers: "Today, why aren't you happy?" ”
"Or who did you meet today and have an impact on you?"
It is not an inquiry, but an affirmative statement in tone. He picked up a pair of peach blossom eyes, and his gaze was deep and sharp for a moment, as if it was real, and he knew everything in the commercial field-
In this eye, Song Shinuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was very transparent.
But Huo Yizhou quickly reined in the sharp edge of watching the fire. He hooked his lips and smiled, folded his hands in a relaxed gesture to enlighten: "Nono, no matter what happens, you can tell me about it." ”
Song Shinuo raised his eyes to look at him and paused slightly. She knew that there was no way to avoid the topic, so she avoided the important and used other excuses as excuses. She briefly talked about what Lin Nanxin did in the laboratory at noon, deliberately omitting the part that mentioned Ye He, and did not use any adjectives in the narration.
The third perspective is objective and calm, Huo Yizhou listened carefully, and probably could imagine Lin Nanxin's consistent arrogance, clearly:
"The last time she was in your Association for Science and Technology, did she also have a conflict with someone?" He deduced that Song Shinuo was angry about the data loss, and explained casually, "I was supposed to look for you that day, but Lin Weiyao had to stop by and pick her up." ”
"Lin Nanxin has always had this temper. She had been suffering from congenital heart disease since birth, and after undergoing surgery, she was cured by rejection, but she was far from cured. Because of this, the Lin family's doting on her can be called conniving, and it also nurture her character. ”
"Nono." Huo Yizhou smiled, "Don't worry about her, I'll ask her to apologize to you in person another day." ”
The implication is that we should sympathize with the patient and see that she has a pitiful background.
He thought he was mediating, but he didn't know that between the two words, the key words had stepped on Song Shinuo's bottom line. “...... So? Song Shinuo answered uncharacteristically, his expression was unwavering, and his words were light but cold: "If you are not in good health, you can steal and commit crimes, and you can easily be forgiven, is this the truth?" ”
Her speed of speech sounded slightly faster than usual, Huo Yizhou noticed it, was stunned, and frowned: "Of course not." I mean, Lin Nanxin ......"
"You know what? In this world, there are many people who are not in good health, but not everyone has the same conditions as Lin Nanxin to receive treatment. ”
Song Shinuo's eyes grew cold: "This is not a reason to do whatever you want. ”
In her memory, she will always have Ye He's face in the summer of her junior year of high school, with a fever for half a week. Pale, dehydrated, and with limited medical technology, every diagnosis says that he will not survive, and he may close his eyes and sleep forever. At that time, she squatted beside the hospital bed, witnessing him pulling with death little by little, and his eyes were always gentle: "When I was young, I had to survive the college entrance examination, and I had to take my mother back to Kyoto." ”
"I'm going to get the future on my own, to get everything I should have."
Song Shinuo closed his eyes.
"Sorry Nono, I didn't mean that." The scene inexplicably developed out of control, Huo Yizhou was a little impatient, and just about to add something, the mobile phone on the flat table suddenly vibrated twice, and Lin Nanxin's three words jumped above the screen of the caller ID.
Huo Yizhou "tsked" and ignored it: "I didn't want to help her speak." If you hate her, I'll call ......."
He watched every change in her expression, paused, and the faint joy that he couldn't explain spread in his heart, and he guessed wisely: "You, are you jealous?" ”
And Song Shinuo just looked at him coldly, feeling confused, and felt that the other party could not communicate.
She struggled to calm her mind, realizing that she was just out of control, and taking her anger out on someone who didn't have to, something that would not have happened under normal circumstances. This is not right.
A sharp tingling pain enveloped her with tinnitus and she couldn't breathe. Song Shinuo's gaze stayed on Huo Yizhou's face for a few seconds, and finally slowly moved away, breaking away from his gripping wrist. When he spoke, he had regained his usual calm: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Didn't hate her. I'm not interested in your relationship. To put it mildly, as if returning to the starting point of the first acquaintance, she turned around without hesitation: "I'll go back to school first." ”
