The carriages and horses at the east gate left in droves, and the rising dust soared upward, like an unpredictable swimming dragon under the morning light.

Jiang Cao stood by the east-facing window on the fifth floor, looking down at the east gate that had turned from hustle and bustle to tranquility, with no emotion on his face.

Behind him is a study room with all kinds of famous books at home and abroad, and the study is a wood structure of ash as a whole, ventilated and sunny, resulting in a room that is not as bright as the outside.

Under the dark cover, he looked at the man below, like a strategizing emperor, as if everything on this island was under his control.

Not long after, there was a rhythmic knock on the door in the study.

Jiang Xiao retracted his gaze, left the window, and returned to his desk. "Come in."

The deep and magnetic voice, like these ancient books full of historical witnesses, is calm and authoritative.

Jiang Yuanfan shrunk in and looked at his cousin who was pressing his head inside. "Brother, what's the matter?"

Early in the morning, you won't call him over to be scolded, right?

Jiang Cao sat on the chair and looked at his cousin, who had no merits except for his handsome face. "Sit."

Words like gold are even more frightening.

Jiang Yuanfan was so nervous that he couldn't do it, but he still pulled out the chair, sat down nervously, and asked uneasily: "Is it because of Li Jiansheng?" ”

Jiang Cao's deep eyes looked at him for a while. "What is your relationship with Miss Lin?"

It turned out to be about his ex-girlfriend!

Jiang Yuanfan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "The relationship between ex-girlfriends." Brother, she is a gold-earner who wants to marry into a wealthy family, and it is not worth your attention. ”

Jiang Cao's eyes were cold. "Really?"

"Yes, she admitted it herself."

"And you believed what she said?"

Jiang Yuanfan saw that he didn't believe it, so he said, "I can't believe it." She said at first that she was going to my brother, but didn't my brother have a partner? And then she probably saw you last night, and hit you with the idea again. It's the first time I've seen someone as cheeky as her. ”

Hit him up with an idea?

I didn't see it.

Jiang Cao thought of the events of the morning and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Yuanfan saw that his expression softened a little, and immediately added fuel and vinegar: "Let me tell you, I made a bet with a friend the night before I broke up, sent her a message, and she immediately came to the bar to find me." So I said brother, don't be deceived by her simple and beautiful appearance, this kind of woman doesn't want me money, is it possible that I am handsome? ”

Jiang Cao stared at him coldly and asked rhetorically: "I don't like it so much, and you still take her home?" ”

He seemed to be calm when he asked, but in fact, even if the sun was shining behind him, Jiang Yuanfan felt a chill.

Jiang Yuanfan met his cousin's dark eyes, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

It's over, he just said too much, he won't go back!

Jiang Yuanfan said tremblingly: "Brother, I'm here—she has to come—"

If you have to come, give her the invitation letter that was originally going to be given to the principal?

It's not the first time he's dealt with these warblers, and it's not that he doesn't know the rules of the family, how can he invite a woman who has broken up to the island?

Jiang Cao looked at the spitting person, his eyes slightly gloomy. "Pregnant?"

These cold words were like a sharp blade with a murderous aura, which frightened Jiang Yuanfan and hurriedly shook his head. "No, no! Brother, you can't talk nonsense, I'm innocent with her! ”

He said this like a big girl who was afraid of being taken advantage of.

The reason why Jiang Yuanfan is so nervous is mainly because the Jiang family has always had rules, and there are only two ways to get pregnant before marriage, either marry back or leave the house.

He, the young master of flowers, is reluctant to end his freedom or money, how dare he do such a thing?

But only such a thing can threaten him.

Jiang Cao looked at the person whose face was white. "Then why did you give her the invitation? Say! ”

One said a word, startling the nervous people.

Jiang Yuanfan looked at his cousin who was persecuting him, pulled down his face, and hung his head in frustration. "Just ......"

At that moment, there was another knock at the door, interrupting him.

Jiang Cao looked at Jiang Yuanfan, who wanted to avoid, and ignored the people outside the door.

Yang Minghao, who was outside the door, said without waiting for a response: "Brother Cao, there is something." ”

"—Come in."

Yang Minghao pushed the door in, saw the deadlocked atmosphere, and the listless third young master, and knew that he was scolded again.

When Jiang Yuanfan saw him, it was like seeing a savior, and his eyes rekindled hope.

Jiang Cao whispered: "Go on!" ”

Jiang Yuanfan, who was yelled at by him, said loudly: "She has my photo in her hand!" ”

Yang Minghao didn't help him, but asked with a smile: "What photo?" Do you have nude photos? ”

Jiang Yuanfan said resentfully: "Didn't there be a death outside the bar last time?" I looked a little more and was photographed by her. ”

Saying that, he also complained depressedly. "She said she was going to give the picture to the police, what can I do?"

Jiang Cao looked at Yang Minghao next to him. "Didn't that man fall from the building?"

Jiang Yuanfan hurriedly said: "I saw a lot of blood in that room. It's just that I didn't see the body at the time, so I didn't take it seriously. ”

Yang Minghao looked at the frightened Jiang Yuanfan, and said conservatively: "I heard that he stole Wu Ershao's things, and was stolen by someone-"

He gestured around his neck.

Jiang Yuanfan was extremely shocked when he saw his movements.

Everyone said that Second Young Master Wu was mixed up in the Tao and was not a good thing, but hearing about this and feeling it up close are two different things.

What's more, it was so bloody that it was found in front of his eyes.

Jiang Yuanfan was stunned for a while, and immediately said when he thought of something: "I did see Chen Weizhong in the bar that night!" ”

Hearing his words, Yang Minghao suppressed his voice and said cautiously: "Brother Cao, I also came to tell you that Xu Changming, the vice president of the Lin Group, returned to the company early this morning and didn't bring anyone with him. ”

Jiang Cao asked, "Are there any employees at work?" ”

"Just some logistics." Yang Minghao guessed: "Is it possible, then Second Young Master Wu knew that someone was in the Chalin clan, so he wanted Li Jiansheng, the president, to take the blame, so he killed him last night and let Lei Bing investigate the case under his control to achieve the goal he wanted?" ”

Jiang Yuanfan listened to Yang Minghao's words, thought of the corpse outside the bar, and said firmly: "It must be Li Jiansheng who Wu Shaoyi instructed Chen Weizhong to kill, so that he can be his scapegoat!"

It's entirely possible.

Before Jiang Cao thought about it, he had no intention of mentioning Wu Shaoyi of the Lin Group.

He sent an invitation letter to Li Jiansheng, in addition to giving Wu Shao a face, and also to let the Lin Group have no management in the past two days, so that he can spend this weekend peacefully.

As for Feng Xiaotao and Zhang Lian, it was Wu Shaoyi who brought them to the island with his own connections.

The elders of the Jiang and Wu families are very familiar with each other, and the banquet is also hosted by Wu Shaoyi's planning company, and he brings one or two important employees of the company to the meeting, and he is not good at interrogating too much.

Jiang Cao thought at that time that the company's financial director and the director of the factory were not in Rongcheng, so it would be more convenient for the people above to verify, so he didn't care.

Now it seems that Wu Shaoyi brought several veterans of the Lin Group to Mingjiang Island, and he has a bigger chess game to play.

Jiang Cao asked the two of them. "After the incident, did Wu Shaoyi see Feng Xiaotao and Zhang Lian?"

Yang Minghao said affirmatively: "At least I've seen Feng Xiaotao." At that time, before Lei Bing finished asking him, he was called away by Chen Weizhong. ”

"Where's Zhang Lian?"

"Not sure."

Jiang Cao thought for a while. "Go check it out."

"I'll go."

Yang Minghao responded and left in a hurry without delay.

Jiang Yuanfan saw him leave, supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, got up slowly, and said cautiously: "Brother, I won't bother you, go first-"

He looked at his cousin coldly, and sat back for a moment.

Jiang Cao turned the ring on his index finger and looked at the people who had been instigated. "Do you still like Miss Lin?"

"No, really!"

"That's fine, so as not to get into trouble."

Jiang Yuanfan thought that he said that Lin Yu was a trouble, and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Cao looked at his cousin, who would not do much harm to society, closed the table and read half of the book, and said hurriedly: "You can go." ”

Hear his calm and slightly cold words.

Jiang Yuanfan quickly got up as if he had been amnestied. "Okay brother, I'll help grandpa walk the dog!"

After saying that, he ran away with a cigarette.

Jiang Cao looked at the people who ran away, lowered his eyes, and eased his expression a little.

Lin Yu - What do you want to do here?

His eyes were deep, and after thinking for a while, he put the book back on the shelf and left the ancient book room used for collection.
