Pi Yuan's mood went from being relatively comfortable to being extremely upset in just a few days.

He couldn't understand why the boy from the Walsh family could go back on his word without any guilt when the matter had already been agreed upon and was almost just a signature away! What made him even more confused was why the Lang Group actually knew about the matter that he was sure was only known to the Pi family and its inner circle? !

"Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll send you to hell!" Pi Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred, but at this moment he had no other way to stop it except cursing. At this time, he could only think of a way to stabilize the shareholders within Pi's as soon as possible. You know, in order to cooperate with the Walsh family, Pi's Group gave up the expansion of the two trump cards of catering and accommodation this year, and used most of the turnover money to purchase high-grade metals and some necessary parts for weapons, in order to occupy the market quickly after signing the contract with the Walsh family. But now, all of this has gone to waste. If he doesn't handle it well, it will make the turnover of Pi's Group difficult, and it is very likely that Pi's will never recover!

If something like that really happened, he, the initiator of the contract, would naturally become the target of public criticism, and his position as CEO would be ruthlessly bitten off by the vicious wolves lurking around. This was absolutely intolerable and unacceptable to Pi Yuan.

Pi Yuan looked at the contract in front of him, his eyes darkening. When it came to the last resort, he could only sacrifice the car to save the king.

"President."

"What is it? Come in."

The person who came in was a woman dressed in seductive clothes, but judging from what she was holding, this woman should be Piyuan's secret technique. At this time, Secretary Yang's face had a bit of weirdness and indignation. She paused for a moment and told her own president what Lang Yixing asked her to tell him. Sure enough, the next second she saw the president's extremely rare angry expression.

Just when Secretary Yang thought the CEO might get mad, she saw the person opposite her suddenly change his expression. As if something extremely unscientific had happened, Pi Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Go call Sun Boliang over."

Secretary Yang raised her eyebrows. As the CEO's "personal" secretary, she knew everything about Sun Boliang and the CEO. So she called someone over now? Tsk tsk, could it be that she was trying to relieve her anger

However, as long as you don't get angry with her, it's fine. Don't be fooled by Pi Yuan's gentle appearance. He can be extremely abnormal when he starts to make trouble for others.

When Sun Boliang walked into Pi Yuan's office in confusion, he was pressed against the wall by a huge force! Without waiting for Sun Boliang to react, Pi Yuan almost roared and whispered: "I asked you to find out about that person. Three days have passed. Haven't you gained anything yet?"

Sun Boliang was pressed so hard that it hurt. He frowned and pushed Pi Yuan: "A Yuan, why are you so anxious? We have been looking for information about that person for three years, but we haven't found any clues. I have only been looking for three days, how can there be any news? What are you so anxious about? Has something happened? What rumors have you heard?"

Pi Yuan was pushed several times by Sun Boliang, and his feverish head slowly calmed down. His face was extremely gloomy, and he said to Sun Boliang: "Three years ago, I said that we should inject him with drugs to kill him when he was unconscious, but you thought I was unnecessary and said that we could definitely burn him to death. What happened? No one found him alive or dead! After three years, we still haven't found any clues about him! Before, I could still deceive myself and say that he must have been burned to ashes. But no matter how badly he was burned, it is impossible that there would be no residue left! So, that kid Pi Qing must have run away! He ran away!"

When Sun Boliang heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He knew that what Pi Yuan said was right, because not only was Pi Yuan deceiving himself, but even he himself would think over and over every night whether the person who grew up with him was burned to death. They couldn't find any clues in three years, and they could think that no clues were a good thing. But now, looking at Pi Yuan's expression, and thinking back to the back figure he saw at the exchange meeting before, Sun Boliang's face turned from pale to blue, and a possibility that made him feel terrified just thinking about it appeared.

"A Yuan... calm down... we have no evidence, and there is no possibility that he is still alive. Why do you think so? Is it because the Walsh family refused our cooperation for that reason?" Sun Boliang spoke gently, fearing that he would irritate Pi Yuan.

But these words just happened to irritate Pi Yuan's heart.

"Why would I think so?! Wales Richard used the bullshit excuse of 'I killed my cousin so I can't be trusted' to cooperate with Lang Yixing, and you saw Pi Qing's back at the exchange meeting. How could such two coincidences happen at the same time?! Who is Wales Richard? How could he not sign the contract just for that reason? Someone must have offered more attractive chips and prices! And who else could do all this except Pi Qing?!" Pi Yuan's eyes turned red with anger.

At this time, Sun Boliang, who had been blamed in various ways, calmed down instead.

He was silent for a moment and finally said suddenly: "There is another person who can do it!"

"who?!"

"Lang Yixing."

Pi Qing frowned: "Lang Yixing? Although I know he has been trying to steal our business, but even if he has taken action before, he has never succeeded."

Sun Boliang nodded, "Yes, he didn't succeed before. But it doesn't mean he won't succeed later. If we assume that Pi Qing... is really alive, then according to the fire at that time, even the identification experts on the scene confirmed that even if Pi Qing escaped and miraculously avoided all surveillance, he must have suffered severe burns all over his body. Otherwise, he could have returned to Pi's after recovering from his injuries. But for three years, not only has he not appeared in Pi's, but he has disappeared from the face of the earth. There is no trace of him anywhere. In this case, we can infer one thing."

Pi Yuan paused, his eyes flashing with a gleam of light: "He is alive, but in poor health, or he is not in good health."

Seeing that Pi Yuan had finally calmed down, Sun Boliang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, maybe this is the fundamental reason why there has been no news about him in the past three years. He can't come out to see people. But... even so, he must hate us. So he must be paying attention to us, and this contract was planned by him from the beginning, so..."

"So, when I was trying to steal his achievements, that shady guy finally couldn't hold back anymore and turned to Lang Yixing? He told Lang Yixing everything he knew and asked Lang Yixing to help him?" Pi Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't this kid afraid that he will lose the entire Pi family in the end?"

Sun Boliang chuckled: "He probably wants the entire Pi family to fall now."

Pi Yuan snorted. He found that once he accepted the assumption that Pi Qing was still alive, all the things that had previously made him feel inexplicable and even a little creepy suddenly became simple. This was just the last resistance of an ant. As long as he could determine the location of this ant, he could crush this insect to death in a few minutes.

Pi Yuan picked up the phone, "Pi Ying, it's your turn. Go check if there's anyone around Lang Yixing who's behaving strangely or wearing special clothes to cover up his identity recently? Also check if Lang Yixing has any plans or actions recently. This is a very important matter, don't mess it up."

Pi Ying's cold voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Got it." Then the call was disconnected.

Pi Yuan looked at the phone that was hung up first, his face was a little gloomy. If Pi Ying was not the most trusted and most powerful security chief of the Pi family, he would never tolerate someone treating his orders so lightly. Forget it this time, wait until he completely kills Pi Qing, then deal with these disobedient people.

Sun Boliang looked at Pi Yuan's expression and thought for a while: "How about I find other people to investigate as well?"

Pi Yuan thought about it and finally nodded.

At this time, on the other end of the phone, in an ordinary building, a tall man with strong muscles was lying on the sofa, squinting his eyes. In addition to him, there were three other people in the room. The four of them were the family guards of the Pi family. In fact, to put it bluntly, they were all child mercenaries picked up by Pi Dad and Pi Grandpa in war-torn areas. 20 years have passed. They grew up in the Pi family. Pi Grandpa passed away and Pi Dad died unexpectedly. They suddenly lost their direction. If Pi Qing, the second-generation ancestor, could barely make them feel that they could help him, then this arrogant Pi Yuan who called and acted arrogantly was a pile of mud that could not even be helped to climb the wall.

"Brother, what did that piece of mud say? What did he ask us to do again? Really, he probably doesn't know that the four of us still hold 10% of the Pi family's shares? He really thinks we are running dogs." A red-haired young man who looked only about 24 or 25 years old snorted, "At least Pi Qing knew how to talk nicely before. Although he is quite naive and spoiled."

Pi Ying is the eldest of the four. He was fifteen years old when he was picked up. He has now established his own power. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, "That's enough. After all, he is the 'successor'. If he wants to investigate, then let's go and investigate."

"Brother! Are you stupid? What successor? Aren't we 60% sure that it was Pi Yuan who killed that Xiao Bai Jiaohua? Why are you still working for him! If we count the successor, it should be Xiao Baihua!" The red-haired young man was particularly dissatisfied.

As a result, he was kicked by the female man next to him. "Are you stupid? Since we have suspicions, we have to find some evidence to prove those suspicions. I have also heard some rumors these days that it seems that Lang Yixing's wolf has some connection with the missing Xiao Baihua. If this is true, then if we investigate Lang Yixing, we will naturally be able to find Xiao Baihua. Then we can just ask him directly about the facts. Let's find Xiao Baihua and see whether we can help him or not."

The red-haired young man calmed down after hearing this, and nodded. This is indeed the way to go. However...

“Second sister, that’s the Wolf King… There’s White Sword, Glasses, Big and Small Knives, and Big and Small Hammers around. Are the four of us going to investigate them? Except for the eldest brother, I guess everyone will be knocked down in one move, right?!” After all, they’ve been in the underworld before, so naturally they’ve heard of the Wolf King’s name.

Then he was kicked again.

"You're stupid! Can't you be sneaky?! Learn from me!"

Red Hair pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at the charming man opposite him, "Do you want me to learn how to be a shemale? ! Thank you, but no thanks!"
