"For example... the pool of blood on the ground inside the cordon outside. ∈↗," Yin Xiu said, looking at Manager Fang.

Manager Fang's expression changed slightly, but he immediately forced himself to calm down and said, "What this gentleman wants to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Are you sure you're going to say it here?" Yin Xiu glanced at the two receptionists at the front desk.

Manager Fang opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he did not let Yin Xiu speak. After taking a slight breath, he changed his words, "I'm really sorry for letting you two stand here for so long and I forgot to invite you two." Let’s sit down in the office.”

Okay, the meaning is very clear, it's just an excuse and a different way of saying it.

Yin Xiu didn't care, nodded slightly to Ji Xueqing, and followed Manager Fang to the elevator. After a while, the three of them went directly to the top floor and walked into Manager Fang's office.

"You two can sit down casually. Do you need anything to drink?" Manager Fang asked politely.

Ji Xueqing responded casually: "Coffee bar."

"I'll just boil water." Yin Xiu also said meaningfully.

"Wait a moment, you two."

Manager Fang responded and immediately used the internal phone to notify the secretary to bring two cups of coffee and a cup of boiled water. After the secretary left, Manager Fang looked at Yin Xiu and said, "I wonder what I call this gentleman?"

"My surname is Yin." Yin Xiu responded calmly.

Manager Fang nodded and said, "I wonder what Mr. Yin wanted to say just now?"

I was asking what Yin Xiu said when he was down there before.

Yin Xiu pursed his lips slightly, shook his head with a slight smile, and said: "Isn't Manager Fang asking questions knowingly? I don't think Manager Fang would deny that the pool of blood outside the building was left by a dead person, right?"

Manager Fang admitted very frankly, "So what? It was just an accident and someone fell down. Although it will have some minor impact on the building, what does this have to do with what Mr. Yin said before?"

"oh?"

Yin Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Then I would like to ask how that person fell. And when did he fall."

Manager Fang frowned visibly. Looking at Yin Xiu, he probably didn't understand why Yin Xiu was asking this.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "The reason for the fall is still unknown, but the police are already investigating. As for the time of the fall, it is initially confirmed that it should be between 11 and 12 o'clock last night."

"I just don't know what Mr. Yin's purpose is in asking these questions?"

"Between eleven and twelve o'clock last night?" Yin Xiu nodded slightly thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Then I still want to ask. Does Manager Fang know who the person who fell from the building is?"

Manager Fang answered calmly: "Since Mr. Yin wants to know, it's okay to tell you. The person who fell was an employee of a company on the 16th floor. The person in charge of the company said that the person worked overtime at the company last night..."

After speaking, Manager Fang asked again: "Mr. Yin, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yin Xiu heard a hint of dissatisfaction in the other person's tone, but he didn't care. He just smiled and continued: "Manager Fang, there is no need to be so anxious. I do have one more question to ask Manager Fang."

"Oh? Please ask, Mr. Yin."

Manager Fang was patient. He probably also wanted to see what Yin Xiu meant by asking these nonsensical words, so he answered in such a cooperative manner.

Yin Xiudao: "I just want to ask Manager Fang. Don't you have some guesses about the reason why the man fell from the building or... some other ideas?"

Yin Xiu looked at Manager Fang with a somewhat meaningful smile.

Ji Xueqing probably vaguely heard what Yin Xiu meant in this sentence, and couldn't help but look at Manager Fang in confusion...

"Mr. Yin, I don't quite understand what you mean." Manager Fang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Judging from his tone, it was obvious that he was beginning to feel impatient.

Yin Xiu didn't care, and just said something that seemed to have nothing to do with the preface, "Two days ago, we came to Botian Building for the first time to have preliminary discussions with Manager Fang. As soon as we walked out of the building, we were stopped by several people. Those people said something to us, to the effect of warning us not to rent this building. Otherwise, there may be consequences that we will regret."

"I wonder what Manager Fang thinks about this matter and those people?"

Yin Xiu suddenly brought up this matter, causing some subtle changes in Manager Fang's expression. Ji Xueqing was also stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Yin Xiu suddenly mentioned this matter. He looked at Yin Xiu in surprise.

After returning that day, Ji Xueqing actually didn't take this matter to heart. If Yin Xiu hadn't suddenly mentioned it at this moment, she would have forgotten about it.

"Mr. Yin, if you have anything to say, just say it straightforwardly. There is no need to beat around the bush." Manager Fang finally lost his composure and said.

Yin Xiu nodded. Said: "Actually, I don't like to go around in so many circles. Since Manager Fang feels that he should be more straightforward and straightforward, then I won't be so subtle."

After a slight pause, Yin Xiu looked directly at Manager Fang and said, "I think you, Manager Fang, should also know that the person who fell to death last night was probably not an accident, right?"

"Unsurprisingly, someone should be targeting your building. And the person who died last night is probably related to the other party. And..."

"And what?"

Manager Fang couldn't help but ask. In fact, he was very surprised at Yin Xiu's judgment at this moment. Naturally, he didn't know that some things were actually revealed from his heart by Yin Xiu using his mind-reading skills.

Yin Xiu continued to say unhurriedly: "And the person who died was not that simple. On the surface, the person should have fallen by himself, but in fact... Haha, I don't know if Manager Fang believes in this world. Is there some power that ordinary people cannot detect?"

"No matter how specific it is, I won't go into details. Manager Fang can call your boss and say that I can solve this problem for him, as long as he can convince me. I think he will understand what I mean. Otherwise, the person who fell to death last night would definitely not be the last one. I think you, Manager Fang, have made some guesses about this, right?"

Yin Xiu's words were still rather vague. But for Manager Fang, who knew something himself, he already understood the meaning of Yin Xiu's words.

Just because he understood it, he was even more surprised.

He suddenly looked up at Yin Xiu, his face full of shock, "You, are you really sure that the person who fell to death last night was affected by something unusual or the 'power' you mentioned? Did you just fall from the building?"

"Of course. Specifically, I think it would be more appropriate for Manager Fang to call your boss." Yin Xiu said lightly.

Ji Xueqing looked at Yin Xiu and Manager Fang in shock. What the two of them said just now was obviously beyond her level of understanding.

Ji Xueqing is not stupid. Naturally, I could tell that there were some unusual and deep meanings hidden in the somewhat implicit words of the two people.

However, Ji Xueqing did not ask Yin Xiu. After all, Manager Fang was here now, and it was not easy to ask some questions in front of other people.

Manager Fang took a deep breath, looked at Yin Xiu with a slightly complicated look, nodded and said, "You're right, these things should really be discussed with you by the boss."

After speaking he stood up. Said: "You two, please wait here for a moment, I will call the boss right now..."

After about half an hour, the boss of Botian Building finally arrived. He is also a middle-aged man in his forties and looks a little fat.

"Two, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I am the owner of Botian Building. My surname is Wei. This is my business card..."

After the middle-aged man walked into the office, he immediately apologized to Yin Xiu and Ji Xueqing. He took out two business cards and handed them to Ji Xueqing and Yin Xiu respectively.

Yin Xiu casually took the business card and glanced at it. The man's name was Wei Dawei. It's a very common name.

After a few simple greetings and introductions to each other, several people sat down one after another.

Wei Dawei immediately asked: "You two, Manager Fang called me just now and said that he had something important to ask me to come over. However, Manager Fang didn't explain it very clearly on the phone. I wonder if you two can elaborate. What's going on?"

Yin Xiu looked at Wei Dawei. Smiling, he said, "Boss Wei, let's just talk straight to the point. If we go around like this, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until dark before we can explain clearly."

"But if it's really dark here... Haha, I think Boss Wei should worry about his own life. I wonder if Boss Wei agrees with what I say?"

Yin Xiu looked at Wei Dawei opposite with a half-smile.

Wei Dawei almost suddenly broke out with a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Looking at Yin Xiu, his expression became a little stiff.

Ji Xueqing had no idea what Yin Xiu was talking about. I just knew that Yin Xiu's words meant something, but I couldn't figure out what exactly it was.

But she knew now was not the time for her to interrupt. So I just sat quietly and listened calmly.

"It seems...Mr. Yin knows everything."

Wei Dawei showed a wry smile.

Yin Xiu nodded lightly, "Absolutely. But there are still some things that I am a little confused about, and I would like to ask Boss Wei."

"I don't know what Mr. Yin wants to ask. Please tell me."

Wei Dawei didn't want to continue holding it and pinched it at this moment, so he answered simply.

"I'm a little curious as to who is trying to get into trouble with you, Boss Wei. They want to use this method to target Botian Building. So that innocent people will be harmed."

Wei Dawei smiled bitterly and said: "The other party is Hengtian Real Estate. They were my main competitors when I bid for the land of Platinum Tower, and I even had some problems with them at that time."

"It's just that I never paid much attention to it. The other party didn't do anything either. Until a few days ago, the other party suddenly came to my door and wanted to buy my building at the cost price. Mr. Yin also wanted to know, how could I do this? I'm willing to agree. The building has finally been built and can be put into use. How can I sell it easily? What's more, it's only a cost price... "

"That's true." Yin Xiu nodded.

Wei Dawei continued: "After I rejected him, the other party threatened me. But I didn't take it seriously. Then the next day, the other party came to the door again, and this time they offered a price higher than the cost price. I was given 20% of the quoted price. But I still didn’t agree.”

"That was the day I heard the news, saying that the Yinhai Municipal Committee has initially determined that in the next five years, Fucheng Road, including the area all the way to Daxue Road, will be the focus of Yinhai's development. Some large projects will be launched one after another. Mount your horse."

"Anyone who is not stupid knows that with this development plan of the government, the value of all houses and real estate in this area is bound to skyrocket in the next few years. Under such circumstances, it is naturally even more impossible for me to sell this building."

"If I can't think of anything unexpected, it should be that the other party got the news in advance, so they wanted to take advantage of my building before the news spread."

"It's just that the other party probably didn't expect that there was someone above me. Although they heard the news a few days later than them, under such circumstances, it would be impossible for them to force me to sell the building at a low price." ( To be continued.)
