Xiao Cheng became more confused, and before he could ask more, Xiao Meiyu hung up the phone in a hurry.
He quickly came to the downstairs of the group, and saw Xiao Meiyu standing in a corner, wearing a black dress, with the veil hanging down from her hat, covering her face.
"Mom, what's the matter with you?"
Xiao Meiyu raised her face and stared closely at Xiao Cheng. Suddenly, she stretched out her hands and grabbed his arm severely, "Xiao Cheng, you must do your mother a favor!"
"What busy?" Xiao Cheng's face flashed a question.
Xiao Meiyu gritted her teeth, as if she had made some great determination, "Mom recently has a sum of money and wants to transfer the account with you. If someone asks you whether the money is yours, you must say yes! "
"Are you talking about the eight million?" Xiao Cheng remembered that strange phone call and looked at Xiao Meiyu suddenly, "But, how come you have so much money?"
Xiao Meiyu's eyes dodged, "You don't have to dare to do this, anyway, in the end it's all your money..."
"No!" Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed fiercely, "You must tell me!"
Xiao Meiyu raised her head, her eyes hazy with tears, "Xiao Cheng, this money belongs to your father."
Xiao Cheng suddenly understood. He stood up straight, took a step back, and said shocked, "Are you secretly transferring Dad's property? Mom, are you confused? How can you do this!"
"You are confused!" Xiao Meiyu nearly collapsed, staring at Xiao Cheng with wide-eyed eyes, "Without me, after Qin Yikun's death, you won't get a penny, do you know? know!"
Looking at his mother who was already out of control, Xiao Cheng widened his eyes and suddenly shouted, "Mom, calm down!"
Xiao Meiyu was frightened for a while and stayed there in a daze.
"Mom, it's still too late to correct the mistake." Xiao Cheng's eyes were filled with heartache and disbelief. It was unexpected that Xiao Meiyu would fall into such a situation because of money paranoia, and he couldn't accept it even more. She kept saying it was for herself!
After listening, Xiao Meiyu let out a sneer. She raised her head and stared at Xiao Cheng blankly, "Xiao Cheng, are you educating me?"
"I'm begging you." Xiao Cheng looked sad and put his hands on his mother's shoulders, "Mom, this is going to go to jail!"
Xiao Meiyu knocked his hand off and stared at him with hatred of iron and steel, "You are not a thing! After so many years, are you willing to be trampled under their feet? You are afraid of going to jail, I am not afraid!"
After speaking, she left without looking back.

Qin Lizheng sat in front of the desk, looking very tired.
The night before, Qin Yikun was rescued again because of a sudden fainting. He stayed in the hospital until the early hours of the morning, and then came to work.
This kind of life has been going on for a month. Although the relationship with his father was very tense before, but at this time, he could not leave him alone in the hospital anyway.
At this moment, the phone rang on the desk, he rubbed his eyebrows and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Qin? I am your father's attending physician."
Qin Lizheng immediately regained consciousness, and whispered to the end of the phone, "It's me."
The doctor paused for a while, "I want to talk to you about Mr. Qin's condition—"
"Okay, I see, I need to go to the hospital, I will..."
"Mr. Qin, don't worry first." The doctor pondered a little, then said slowly: "We isolated a toxin from Mr. Qin's blood. This is not accidental... I initially suspected that it was caused by someone deliberately poisoning it. ."
Poisoned? Qin Lizheng was stunned, and his handsome face seemed to be covered by snow and ice, and his eyes were completely astonished.
He would never think of this result anyway.
"Mr. Qin, I suggest you call the police first."
After a long time, he said: "Okay, I see." Qin Lizheng slowly hung up the phone.
He leaned back on the large seat, constantly adjusting his breathing, and the blue veins on his forehead were looming. In about three or two minutes, he stood up and strode out toward the door.
At this time, Chen Tao stepped forward. He kept walking and ordered: "Contact me a private detective."
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Understood."
At the same time, Xiao Cheng was sitting in the office, and seeing Qin Lizheng coming in, he withdrew his complicated thoughts and hurriedly gave a smile: "Oh, why did President Qin come down and inspect?"
Qin Lizheng's expression was faint, and his eyes were as deep as the sea, like two dry wells. He glanced at Xiao Cheng calmly, walked into the office, sat opposite him, "Sit."
Xiao Cheng shrugged his shoulders, then sat across from him, eyes fixed on him, and the corners of his mouth were smiling but he knew very well that it was impossible for Qin Lizheng to come to his office for no reason.
Qin Lizheng was always expressionless, looking at Xiao Cheng, he said: "Just now, I received a call from the doctor."
Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's the matter? Isn't it Dad..."
"Dad's recent situation is not very good, but the doctor said that his condition is not an ordinary disease, it is likely to be poisoning."
"This... how is this possible?"
Xiao Chengzhen was on the spot, poisoned...
Qin Lizheng's fingers interlaced, pressed against his chin, and stared at Xiao Cheng with deep eyes, not letting go of any subtle changes in his expression, "Who do you think will be the murderer?"
Xiao Cheng frowned, those eight million... Originally, the inheritance that his mother had mentioned repeatedly was originally referring to this matter!
He suppressed his beating heart, and observed the expression on Qin Lizheng's face without showing off his expression, but that face was as smooth as usual, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
"What do you mean?" He asked quietly.
Qin Lizheng just looked at him quietly, "If you can do these things quietly, you should be the closest person."
Xiao Cheng's heart tightened and he took a deep breath. He said, "What about your decision?"
Qin Lizheng said every word: "Call the police."
Xiao Cheng stood up immediately, "No way!"
Qin Lizheng's gaze shifted upward, looking at Xiao Cheng's face blankly, raising his eyebrows: "So, do you know who it is?"
Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "You and I both know things well, so we don't have to bend around." He lowered his gaze, and he said with some difficulty, "My mother is getting older. You can send her to jail again. Killed her?"
"That's your mother, not my mother." Qin Lizheng raised his eyebrows without a trace. "If you do something wrong, you will pay a price."
"I am looking for you today, not to ask your opinion, but to inform you." He stood up as he said, "Xiao Meiyu, I will never let it go."
Xiao Cheng squeezed his fists and knelt on the ground.
Qin Lizheng paused.
"Big brother!" He tried to suppress his emotions, and said, "Can you look at my face?"
Qin Lizheng's back was straight, but he never looked back.
Xiao Cheng's eyes were red, and his voice begged in a hoarse voice, "I know that it's useless to say anything. I just hope you can raise your hand high and let my mother go, I'm willing to take her away from Qin's house. I won't show up in front of you in the future! I won't ask for a dime from the Qin family!"
Qin Lizheng hadn't spoken for a long time, his hands hidden under the sleeves of his suit clenched into a fist, and he never relaxed for a moment.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, "The person she almost killed, you and I call him Dad."
"Brother..."
"The best I can do is not to offend you."
Xiao Cheng's face suddenly turned into the color of death gray, but Qin Lizheng ignored him, opened the door and walked out of the office.
He was walking in the corridor when his cell phone rang suddenly.
"Hey?"
"Boss, Mrs. Qin left home in a hurry and is now in an apartment in the suburbs."
Qin Lizheng's voice sounded mechanically, "...Call the police."

hospital.
In the huge ward, thick curtains hang down to prevent any light from coming in. Qin Yikun lay weakly in her arms, even worse than the previous two days.
The door opened and Qin Lizheng walked in.
Qin Yikun raised his muddy eyes and looked at him quietly.
Qin Lizheng lowered his eyes and slowly said, "I have something to say..."
"It's about beautiful jade."
Astonishment flashed through Qin Lizheng's eyes, he looked up at him.
Qin Yikun turned his gaze out of the window and said after a long while: "I have lived together for so many years, what did she do, I can't feel it?"
Qin Lizheng's expression moved slightly, which was somewhat incomprehensible.
"... For so many years, she has been complaining to me. I know, I know..."
Looking back, Qin Yikun said: "But I can only pretend to be ignorant. Only in this way will it not affect Xiao Cheng... I have lost one son, and I cannot lose another one."
Qin Lizheng felt shocked. He never expected that Qin Yikun, who had always been mean in his eyes, would have such a paternal love.
He clenched his fist a little bit, his voice did not fluctuate: "I have called the police."
Qin Yikun's brows were frowned, and the sadness in his muddy eyes could not conceal. After a long time, he sighed heavily, "All mistakes are my fault."
After leaving the hospital, Qin Lizheng's mood was not lighter, but heavier, his chest was like a stone, which made him breathless.
&&
Early the next morning, Xiao Meiyu committed suicide.
After Qin Lizheng heard the news, he didn't say anything for a long time. He sat alone in the office, letting the phone ring again and again.
Did he... did something wrong
Xiao Meiyu did pay the price, and it was the heaviest, but his heart was heavy, and only the sentence that repeatedly asked himself was left in his mind: Is he wrong
When he went to the hospital, Qin Yikun apparently also received the news. Qin Lizheng felt a dull pain in his heart when he looked at his face that seemed to be ten years old in an instant.
He was standing in front of Qin Yikun's bed, Qin Yikun always looked out, without even looking at him.
Qin Lizheng left the ward and took out his mobile phone, only to realize that there were more than a dozen missed calls, all from the secretary.
He frowned and called the phone back, "What's the matter?"
"President Qin, the general manager... He handed in his resignation letter."
Qin Lizheng was stunned for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I see."
