Fu Zhai, the housekeeper who was over fifty years old hurriedly entered the main hall, did not stop at his feet, turned to the restaurant, and almost bumped into a servant who was leaving.

Narrowly staggered, the housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, went to Old Man Fu with a look of urgency, and whispered something in his ear.

At the dinner, the other people saw that the old man's face sank, and they suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Go and ask someone in." Old Man Fu commanded in a low voice.

"Hey." The butler, who had received the order, hurriedly turned around, and trotted up on his elbows when he left the main hall.

After Fu Jichen and Shen Jianian finished talking on the phone, the mobile phone fell into his trouser pocket, returned to the restaurant, found that the atmosphere was wrong, and asked Fu Feibai next to him after sitting down: "What did you talk about when I was away?" ”

Fu Feibai put one hand to his mouth, and said secretly: "The housekeeper passed a message to grandpa, and grandpa's face changed after hearing it, and he felt that something big had happened, and everyone didn't dare to speak." ”

The TV was on in the main hall, and the sound of the Spring Festival Gala sketches came in, accompanied by the laughter of the audience inside, which made the atmosphere in the restaurant more and more dead.

Fu Jichen picked up the cigarette case from the table, knocked out a cigarette, twisted the tobacco with his fingertips, and before he could light it, several footsteps came from far and near.

He turned sideways and looked up into the main hall, where the sweaty butler came first, followed by several policemen.

Old Man Fu got up and walked to the main hall, his back was straight as loose, his steps were steady, his face was majestic, and the demeanor of the head of the family was vividly displayed in him.

The three policemen nodded respectfully when they saw the old man, and the one who was the leader politely explained his intentions: "Old man, it is really rude to come to the door to disturb the Chinese New Year's Eve, we have received a report from the people, the third master of the Fu family is suspected of a case of infringement, please ask the third master to follow us to the bureau for investigation." ”

The third master of the Fu family?

After listening to the policeman's words, the people in the restaurant looked at Fu Huaxian in unison, some secretly gloating, some couldn't help but show worry, and some watched coldly.

Fu Jichen sat silently, a cigarette between his fingers was not lit, and he threw it on the table, playing with the sleeping white jade lion in his hand.

Another policeman added: "Don't worry, the old man, just take the third master to ask according to the rules, if it is confirmed that the matter has nothing to do with the third master, we will return him to a clean house." ”

Fu Huaxian's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned in the chair with a pale face, listening to the old man negotiate with the police.

The old man asked a few questions, wanting to understand the specific circumstances of this case so that he could come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

The old man is accustomed to wind and waves, and his heart is clear, the police can come to the door, and he must have some evidence in his hand, and he will not come to the door to take people for no reason.

The police thought for a while, and answered the old man's question with a humble attitude: "It is said that the case is currently under investigation, we can't reveal too many details, the old man, we can trust, tell you the truth, the deceased is a girl who has just turned eighteen, surnamed Dong, a freshman at the Beicheng Film Academy, jumped off the building at the Mandry Hotel at 8:05 tonight and committed suicide, leaving a suicide note in the hotel room before his death, indicating that the third master had violated and abused her. ”

What the police said, some of which were disclosed in the news report, are facts that are known to the public, and they are not considered violations.

Old Man Fu's face was heavy after hearing this, and his eyes were shrewd and sharp, not as muddy as other old men.

He looked at Fu Huaxian, who was sitting there motionless, with judgmental eyes, and never thought that the most honest and introverted person in the family would be involved in such a lawsuit.

"Don't get over here yet!"

Old Man Fu shouted angrily, Fu Huaxian returned to his soul, stood up and went to the main hall with a wooden face.

"Explain to the police what is going on." The old man was very angry, and the housekeeper was worried that there was something wrong with his body, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm, but he waved his hand to block it, and his sharp gaze shot directly at Fu Huaxian, "Do you know the girl surnamed Dong?" Let's be honest! ”

The rest of the people in the dining room couldn't sit still and went to the main hall to listen.

Only Fu Jichen sat firmly like a mountain.

Fu Feibai moved his chair away, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, his footsteps stopped: "Brother, aren't you going to take a look?" It feels like something is serious. ”

"There are police officers handling cases, and there is a grandfather in charge of the overall situation, so I'm going to join in the fun."

Fu Jichen poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly, the tea in the Rose Manor was not bad, and the tea in the Fu family's old mansion was even better.

His habit of drinking tea since he was a child was imperceptibly influenced by the old man.

There were many people in the main hall, and the third master of the Fu family was silent for a long time, and the anger in the old man's chest became more and more intense: "What about you!" ”

Fu Huaxian swallowed his saliva, his lips trembled and said, "With, I've met her a few times." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Fu had a strong bad premonition in his heart.

His third son was married at an early age, and divorced again in less than a year, and has not married another wife since, nor has a son and a half daughter under his knees, and is inconspicuous among his brothers and sisters.

"I've only seen a few times, and the girl committed suicide for you?" The old man asked sharply.

In the restaurant, Fu Jichen took a sip of tea, raised the teacup and looked under the lamp, this thin porcelain cup can reveal the color of the green tea soup, such as the green mountains after the rain, the beauty is beautiful, but it is a little hot.

He put down his teacup and got up to go to the main hall.

Fu Feibai saw his figure, and was a little puzzled, he said that he didn't come to join in the fun, why did he come over?

However, Fu Jichen just passed through the main hall, didn't give a superfluous look here, went up the stairs, returned to the room and closed the door.

Let the huge waves downstairs be raging, and he just wants a piece of peace.

Fu Jichen went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he saw that it was not too late, he called Shen Jiannian. She said she was going to sleep at that time, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't she planning to keep the New Year?

The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and the girl's somewhat confused voice came from inside: "Hey? ”

"Really asleep?" Fu Jichen was slightly surprised.

"Hmm......" Shen Jianian snorted out with his eyes closed and his nose filled with a thick sleepiness, as if he would fall asleep again in the next second.

The person was woken up by himself, Fu Jichen didn't feel a little sorry in his heart, but teased her: "Shen Jianian, give you New Year's money, do you want to?" ”

Shen Jianian was not sober, and he only listened to him for a while: "I don't want it, don't touch me." ”

She was in a trance, she didn't remember that she was on the phone, thinking that like many nights before, Fu Jichen was lying beside her with her clothes half-faded, and when she was tired and confused, a deep voice asked her in her ear if she wanted more.

Fu Jichen held up his mobile phone, his body couldn't help but tighten, and after a while, he laughed lowly: "Shen Jianian, you still said that you didn't miss me." ”

Shen Jianian said "um" again, suddenly realized that something was wrong, opened his eyes suddenly, and realized that he was on the phone, and then recalled what he had just said, and the whole person was completely awake.

She didn't speak, and Fu Jichen couldn't see the situation on her side over there, so she asked in a low voice, "Asleep?" "I knew to make a video call to her, at least I could take a look.

Shen Jianian made up her mind not to make a sound, making him mistakenly think that she was asleep, and then took the initiative to hang up the phone, so that she could get through the trick without having to face embarrassment.

However, Fu Jichen never had the intention of hanging up the phone, and let the call time continue to grow.

Shen Jianian was struggling for a while, if she pressed the hang up button at this time, Fu Jichen would definitely know that she was not asleep, if she let it go, I don't know when it will be.

In case he won't hang up until dawn......

As soon as Shen Jiannian thought of that possibility, his scalp felt a little numb.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Fu Jichen suddenly spoke up, the man's voice was magnetic and smiling, and it had a demagogic magic in the night: "Shen Jianian, you pretend to be asleep." I hear you breathing. ”

The sound of breathing after falling asleep is different from when you are awake.

She certainly didn't know that the breathing he heard in the earpiece was rapid and disordered, like a rabbit falling into a trap, at a loss.

Only then did Shen Jianian realize that the mobile phone was too close to his cheek, and the ups and downs between breathing and breathing were all listened to by the people over there.

She felt like she was being played like a monkey.

"No kidding you, seriously." Fu Jichen's voice suddenly became gentle, with a hint of intimacy, "I'll give you New Year's money." In the pocket of your white puffer jacket, look for it yourself. ”

Shen Jiannian forgot about Fang Cai's embarrassment, got out of bed with a surprised face, and according to his prompts, went to the cloakroom to open the cabinet.

There was a row of winter clothes inside, and she found the white down jacket, reached into her pocket and touched it, and sure enough, there was something hidden.

Shen Jianian took it out, and with the light strip at the top of the cloakroom, he could see the thickness of the red envelope, which was just full of capacity, and no more banknote could be put in.

Before the phone hung up, Fu Jichen's clear voice came: "Found it?" ”

Shen Jianian stepped on the plush carpet with bare feet, looking at the thick red envelope in his hand, his eyes were a little hot, and he pursed his lips and couldn't speak for a long time.

"It might be a bit busy for a while, I'll get back to you in a few days." Fu Jichen explained to a child like a child, "The money is used to buy candy to eat, and it is not enough." ”

Shen Jianian licked his lips and leaned his back against the cabinet door, wanting to say something, but in the end he only responded with a low "um".

She was afraid that she would cry when she opened her mouth, and she was hypocritical and unproductive.

Fu Jichen told her a happy new year, and then urged her to go to bed.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside his room.

Fu Jichen put down his mobile phone and turned it on, Fu Feibai stood outside the door, acting as a courier, conveying the old man's meaning to him: "Grandpa asked you to go down to help deal with the third uncle's affairs." ”

Fu Feibai looked at his eldest brother sympathetically. Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too prominent, and you have to carry both big and small burdens.

You don't have to think about this kind of thing to know how tricky it is to deal with it.
