Sister Wang touched her nose and said, "I actually know that."
"Four years ago, Mr. Fei's fortunes suddenly turned, and he met a prominent figure."
"That gentleman admired Mr. Fei very much. With his support, Mr. Fei's career has made rapid progress."
The fifth person in this story appears.
Baili Xin: "Who exactly is this important person?"
"Oh, Master, you've got me stumped. I'm just a cleaner, and I don't really know who this big shot is. I only heard Mr. Fei talking to that big shot on the phone occasionally while I was cleaning. Mr. Fei respected him very much and called him 'President'. Although I don't know who he is, I know he must be a big shot with connections."
President
s419m: In the context of this city, the president is roughly equivalent to the chairman of the board as we usually understand it, and should be the person at the helm of a certain chaebol.
Baili Xin: You said that in the sleepwalking scene we saw last night, did Father Fei open the door for the chaebol leader
s419m: And this man at the helm was having an affair with Li Manyu? Father Fei went to the garden to pick roses and put them away, and then he sacrificed his wife like a brothel madam
Father Fei drove away all the servants, leaving only Mrs. Zhang, whom he trusted the most.
Mrs. Zhang must be a very special person, otherwise she wouldn't have taken you to the physical examination.
Fei's father waited for the arrival of the chaebol's boss late at night. When the boss entered the house, he took the roses prepared by Fei's father in advance to please Li Manyu. Li Manyu became Fei's father's prop for climbing up the ladder. Fei's father acted like he loved Li Manyu, but his behavior was extremely despicable. This is what you guessed before, "Fei's father may have done something wrong to Li Manyu."
Such a huge fortune was obtained through the sacrifice of a woman. This led to Li Manyu's darkening, and she began to deliberately hook up with others in front of Fei's father, such as Da Zhuang.
Baili Xin: The one being sacrificed might not be Li Manyu, but the original owner.
s419m: Huh? What do you mean
Baili Xin's deep gaze fell on the rose garden outside: There are many contradictions.
Father Fei and Li Manyu loved the original owner very much, and the servants knew it very well.
The original owner hated roses. Even the servants knew it, so how could Fei's father and Li Manyu not know it
The back garden is so big, but Fei's father planted this rose garden outside the original owner's window. As long as the curtain is opened, the original owner will always see the roses he hates the most.
If he truly loved the original owner, Father Fei would not do this.
s419m: Why did Mr. Fei do this
Baili Xin said in a deep voice: For domestication.
To tell the original owner, I know what you hate and what you despise, but I have the final say in this family. I can easily deal with your likes and dislikes.
The roses were deliberately planted outside the original owner's window, simply to make the original owner remember his identity, status and situation at all times.
Baili Xin: One more thing, why did the original owner hate roses so much
People instinctively hate bed bugs because they cause them trouble.
But the seemingly harmless still flowers and plants cause people to have strong aversions. In most cases, it is not because they hate the still objects themselves, but the associations that the still objects bring.
Roses brought very bad associations to the original owner, so he hated roses.
s419m: This bad association is the chaebol leader who will come late at night. That's why this room is equipped with so many invisible surveillance cameras and a see-through two-way mirror.
They spied on him and monitored him where the original owner couldn't see, and tamed him like an animal in a cage.
Baili Xin: The smartest lie in the world is not to lie, but to use montage techniques to piece together fragmented information.
Fei Yinuo's anger will immediately attract our attention. At this time, his status in this family is unattainable, and he also holds the key to the next room, and even has hatred towards the original owner.
But we forget a crucial point, which is the time difference.
Fei Yinuo only started to rise half a year ago, but his status in this family should not have been very high half a year ago.
Half a year ago, the control of this family had always been in the hands of Fei's father. Baili Xin raised his eyes and casually glanced at the hidden cameras. This room had been decorated for a long time, and the cameras were not installed recently.
The same goes for the bathroom, where traces of time can be seen on the glass walls.
These are the products of more than a few years ago, and Fei Yinuo did not have the energy to do these things at that time.
s419m: The key to the next room...
Baili Xin: Mrs. Zhang only said that the key to the next room was in the hands of Fei Yinuo, but she did not say when it was in his hands. Perhaps when Fei Yinuo was in charge, the original owner had already left.
s419m: But Li Manyu and Zhang Sao both said that you had only been away from home for a few days.
Baili Xin cast his gaze on Sister Wang who had started cleaning again, "Sister Wang, when did I run away from home?"
Sister Wang: "It's been a long time, about half a year, right? After Mr. Fei became seriously ill, the eldest son took over the family, and not long after that, you ran away from home."
Baili Xin: "No one called the police?"
Sister Wang was embarrassed by the question: "Master, you can't blame Mr. Fei and Madam for this. After all, they were in trouble at the time. The young master was a new official and everyone knew that you were driven out by the young master. Mr. Fei was seriously ill and spoke out, and Madam was a lowly person, so she naturally didn't dare to provoke the young master, so she didn't call the police."
Baili Xin's expression was indifferent, and he just said "Oh" softly, "Yeah, I know."
s419m: Damn, it really is a time error, just as you inferred.
Baili Xin: Do you remember where we met Father Fei last night
s419m Recall for a second, at the door of the next room!
Baili Xin: Don’t you find it strange? If the next door is really under Fei Yinuo’s control, why would Fei’s father go to the next door while sleepwalking
s419m suddenly realized: Wow, it turns out that Father Fei is the one who hides the deepest. He is truly a hypocrite with a beastly heart.
Host, where is that black shadow? Is there any clue about him
Baili Xin: There is still more than a day left, so there is no rush. What I am more concerned about now is what happened half a year ago.
Four years ago, the original owner, Fei's father, Li Manyu, Fei Yinuo, and the mysterious chaebol helmsman.
A lot of information gradually began to surface.
"By the way, Sister Wang." Baili Xin saw the disappeared Fei Yinuo walk into his field of vision from a corner through the window. "You just said that I used to like being with Fei Yinuo? Has my relationship with him always been bad?"
"How can we talk nonsense about the master's family?" Sister Wang smiled helplessly. "Anyway, it seemed more harmonious than now. At that time, the young master didn't hate you as blatantly as he does now."
"Hey, young master, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take something. I'll come back to clean up this room later." The questions were getting more and more serious. Sister Wang felt that if she continued talking, she would lose her job. She hurriedly packed up the cleaning tools, and left the room carrying the bucket and vacuum cleaner.
Baili Xin walked to the door and chased her footsteps, which could be described as "fleeing in panic."
s419m: Master Host, you scared her.
Baili Xin withdrew his gaze, closed the door and walked into the bathroom.
The young man’s gorgeous, cold face was reflected in the huge, bright floor-to-ceiling mirror.
He couldn't see what was on the other side of the mirror, but he knew that behind the mirror there was a long sofa, on which sat a motionless skeleton, with its two empty eye sockets facing this side...
___________________________
When Baili Xin was going downstairs, he bumped into Feynuo.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or Fei Yinuo was waiting for him on purpose, but every time he walked to the second floor, he saw Fei Yinuo leaning against the wall with his arms folded and a cold expression.
He had no intention of leaving, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here.
Baili Xin glanced at Fei Yinuo and was about to continue walking down, but Fei Yinuo suddenly raised his foot and rushed towards Baili Xin.
Baili Xin instinctively dodged and easily avoided Fei Yinuo's hand.
However, Fei Yinuo seemed to have practiced grappling. When Baili Xin dodged Fei Yinuo's attack the first time, he did not give up. Instead, he quickly retracted his arm in mid-air and grabbed Baili Xin again.
Baili Xin retreated repeatedly, and when he reached the stairs, he grabbed Fei Yinuo's arm with his backhand, frowned, and said coldly: "Fei Yinuo, what are you doing?"
Fenuo laughed coldly, "My stupid brother has never practiced any physical skills."
Baili Xin was stunned, and the next second Fei Yinuo turned over his hands and grabbed Baili Xin's wrist, and his hand reached towards Baili Xin's face like a ghost.
By the time Baili Xin reacted, a pair of cold hands were already on his face.
The hands rubbed back and forth on his face, as if looking for something.
The palm of the hand rubbed from the forehead to the chin, and then quickly retracted after a few seconds.
Fei Yinuo's brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character. He looked at Baili Xin with disgust, then strode up the stairs without looking back.
______________________
The awkward and weird atmosphere at the dinner table could no longer be hidden.
Father Fei was sitting next to Li Manyu, but Li Manyu was openly flirting with Dazhuang.
Red Hair and Mr. Mouse also keenly noticed the unusual ambiguity between the two, and both looked a little unhappy.
Fei Yinuo didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine. He touched Baili Xin's face early in the morning and went back to his room. Not long after, he hurried downstairs and went to the company without eating. He still didn't appear at the dining table.
Mr. Fei turned a blind eye to the ambiguity between Li Manyu and Da Zhuang, but Red Hair and Mr. Haozi couldn't hold it back anymore.
After Da Zhuang and Li Manyu secretly held hands under the tablecloth for the nth time, the red-haired man finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, pressing the table, "Da Zhuang, we have been bothering uncle and aunt at their house for several days, why don't we leave today!"
When she spoke, she pronounced the words "uncle and aunt" particularly well, and glared at Da Zhuang threateningly.
Da Zhuang turned a blind eye and said, "I want to stay for a few more days."
He seemed to be answering the red-haired man's question, but his eyes were always on Li Manyu.
The two people's eyes moved back and forth in the air, almost being pulled into shredded potatoes.
Li Manyu smiled gently at Da Zhuang, and raised her head gracefully in the red-haired man's angry eyes, "You two, is it our family's fault for not hosting you well? You've only stayed at our house for two days. Xiao Xin is usually very shy, and it's rare for her to meet friends. Why don't you stay at our house for a few more days, okay?"
"Not at all!" The red-haired girl's eyes widened, her pretty face flushed with anger, "Your family really didn't treat us well enough. There's a vixen smell in the room, it's really unpleasant!"
"Redhead!" Da Zhuang growled, glancing at Redhead coldly with a threatening look, "That's enough, you're too rude. Uncle and auntie entertained us so warmly, and you actually said that their family smells like a fox. Apologize to Auntie Manyu right away!"
The red-haired girl's face flushed with grievance, but she didn't run away. She pulled Da Zhuang and said, "Brother Da Zhuang, I'm letting you go for your own good. Your live broadcast room hasn't been broadcast for two days, and there are no new video clips uploaded. If this continues, your live broadcast room will gradually lose popularity. Let's go back. I'll edit the exploration video I shot last time and do the post-production for you."
Da Zhuang was a little hesitant.
"Live broadcast room, is it your supernatural live broadcast room you mentioned last time?" Li Manyu's gentle voice interrupted the red-haired man's weak pleading, and she looked at Da Zhuang ambiguously with her cheek in her hand, "I remember you said you wanted us to invest in it, was it this live broadcast room you were talking about?"
When Da Zhuang heard the words "investment", he immediately turned around and looked at Li Manyu with eager eyes, "Yes, it's this live broadcast room."
Li Manyu chuckled: "Da Zhuang, how much money do you need? Is five million enough?"
Da Zhuang's eyes suddenly widened, and Red Hair and Mr. Haozi were also stunned.
Seeing that Da Zhuang didn't say anything, Li Manyu continued to talk on her own: "Why? Five million is not enough? What about ten million?"
Da Zhuang finally reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough! Ten million is enough!"
Li Manyu snorted softly, and glanced at the red-haired man with a triumphant smile on her face, "Then let's go back to the question just now. Do you want to stay in our house for a few more days?"
Da Zhuang agreed without thinking, "Of course, we will stay!"
As he spoke, he pulled the red-head beside him and used brute force to pull the red-head back to his seat.
Seeing this, Mr. Haozi just sat there quietly and didn't say much.
After dinner, when Baili Xin passed by the garden, he heard a very low quarrel. He was familiar with the protagonists of the quarrel. They were Red Hair and Da Zhuang.
Baili Xin couldn't hear clearly, so he used the invisibility card and walked towards them.
Behind the secret wall of the garden, a man and a woman were hiding in a corner blocked by trees. The man trapped the woman inside, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing and tense.
Da Zhuang: "Red Hair, you are crazy. Do you know that because of your recklessness just now, I almost lost a major shareholder worth 10 million! Why did you suddenly ask to leave? Didn't we agree to leave after we got the sponsorship?"
The red-haired man cried, "Have you forgotten that you are my boyfriend? I promised you that I would get sponsorship to leave, but I didn't know you would use this method to get sponsorship. Da Zhuang, I look down on you."
Da Zhuang suddenly hugged the aggrieved redhead in his arms, "Okay, dear. I am doing this for our future. Li Manyu and I are just playing around. Li Manyu has a husband, and I have you. Can it be that there is really a future between her and me? Little fool, you should know that I only love you in my heart, and you are the only one in my future plans."
Redhead: "But you're dirty."
Da Zhuang sighed and said, "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for our future?"
"I don't want to do this either, but you know best how my live broadcast room is doing. It's just a false prosperity, and the results are getting worse and worse."
"Give me a few more days, okay? Once I get the 10 million yuan sponsorship, we'll leave immediately and I'll end things completely with Li Manyu."
The girl struggled out of Dazhuang's arms, and stared at Dazhuang with her pair of red eyes.
Just when Baili Xin thought the girl was going to slap Da Zhuang, she suddenly threw herself into Da Zhuang's arms, "Is what you said true? You only love me and have planned a future with me? After you get the money, will you really completely cut off contact with that vixen Li Manyu?"
Da Zhuang: "Of course, I only love Li Manyu's money."
Redhead: "Woo woo woo, then I believe you."
Baili Xin: "..."
This is truly the ultimate love brain, it can no longer be described as an ordinary love brain.
We suggest that she go dig 18-year-old wild vegetables to clear her mind first.
Da Zhuang's kiss chased the red-haired man's lips. Seeing that the two were about to have a fight, Baili Xin quietly retreated from the corner.
s419m: Li Manyu is really amazing. Honestly, is she addicted to stealing other people's husbands and boyfriends
Baili Xin: Da Zhuang’s wishful thinking has failed. Li Manyu will not invest in Da Zhuang.
s419m: They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they love to tell stories from a Chinese studio. Where are you going now, host
Prisin: Go to a place where there might be clues.
He walked through the garden along the route that Feynuo had just taken. After turning the corner, he found a narrow passage.
This passage is a gap between the house and the wall. It is very narrow and can only accommodate one person.
The ground was covered with fine sand, and because it was in the shade, two strips of damp green moss grew in the corners of the wall.
If he hadn't seen Fei Yinuo walking out from this position, Baili Xin might have thought that this was just a crack.
It gradually becomes dark at the end of this small gap, carrying an indescribable sense of mystery and taboo.
Baili Xin took a look inside and then crawled into the narrow gap.
At the end is a 90-degree angle formed by two walls. After turning the 90-degree angle, there is still a gap formed by a wall and the outer wall of the house.
The lush branches above the head made this small gap deeper and darker than the previous one.
Baili Xin did not slow down and continued to move forward.
Finally, he reached the end of the gap and saw a small iron door hidden in the corner of the house's outer wall.
The color of the iron gate is almost exactly the same as that of the outer wall. If you don’t go in to take a look, no one would know that there is another world here.
The handle on the outside of the iron door was wrapped with a thumb-thick chain and locked with a large copper lock.
Baili Xin took out a steel wire from his backpack and used it to wrench the copper lock. In a few seconds, the copper lock was opened.
Then he stuffed the chain, copper lock and steel wire into the backpack, and Baili Xin pushed open the iron door.
The iron door creaked, and a tiny crack appeared.
Baili Xin took a peek inside through the tiny crack. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
Taking out a flashlight from his backpack, Baili Xin pushed the iron door open completely and walked inside.
There was a button similar to a light near the door. Baili Xin pressed it, and the originally dark room suddenly became bright, and all the corners were clearly visible in Baili Xin's eyes.
This place looks like a craft room, and the air is filled with the unique smell of polypropylene and plaster.
There is a long corridor at the entrance, and a shoe cabinet and clothes rack are placed near the door.
Shoes and coats stained with ink and plaster lay or hung quietly.
Baili Xin walked along the corridor, and when he reached the end, a pale human model came into his sight without warning.
It was a human body model placed at the corner, just in the blind spot of the corridor. Facing the corridor, it could be said to be full of "surprises".
Baili Xin stared at the human model. The solid color made the face look a little distorted, but Baili Xin could still vaguely make out the appearance of the face.
It was a face that was very unfamiliar to Baili Xin. The model looked young, with a slender figure and delicate features.
The shape of this room is a bit like an excavator. The corridor looks long, but when you walk to the end of the corridor and turn a corner, you will find a very spacious room. The plaster model is placed between the corridor and the room.
Baili Xin stared at the plaster face for a while, then turned a corner and walked into the room.
The room that looked a little simple just now suddenly became different when it appeared in front of Baili Xin in the square center.
