Chapter 76

Views:

Pi Yuan was woken up by a series of phone calls from his father early in the morning. He had a really good time in the past month or so. Not only did he minimize the negative impact of the failed contract with the Walls family, he also signed two relatively good contracts, which gave Pi's company some time to relax.

Even his own problems in that area were getting better and better with a cup of "magic wine" every day.

Pi Yuan originally thought that his life would start from this point and would continue to be smooth sailing until he had complete control over the Pi family and became the object of everyone's envy.

But reality soon gave him a hard slap in the face, a slap so hard that Pi Yuan almost couldn't get up - it was already early July, and early in the hot morning, Uncle Pi called his son to tell him that something big had happened.

Pi Yuan originally thought that his father was just exaggerating, but when he found out what had happened, he felt terrible.

"How is this possible?! The case three years ago was closed! The police said that he died from an accidental fire after being drunk! How could someone suddenly reopen an old case?!" Pi Yuan was angry and a little panicked at this moment. After all, he had already suspected that Pi Qing, who he thought was dead, might still be alive. Although the private detectives he sent out had not found any evidence that Pi Qing was still alive, Pi Yuan was not as calm as he appeared to be.

Pi Yuan even once thought that the previous contract with the Walsh family had been broken, and that Pi Qing was very likely involved. However, he had no real evidence and his life had gotten better recently, so he chose to forget about it.

But now, this forgotten thing exploded in his ears like a thunder, frightening him so much that he almost lost his soul.

"I'm going to investigate this matter thoroughly! Someone must be displeased with me and wants to do something about it!"

After the initial brief moment of doubt and uncertainty, Pi Yuan's IQ quickly returned. He himself was a person who was good at using conspiracies and tricks. After encountering such a thing, it was simply impossible for him not to think about that. Therefore, he quickly thought of a possibility. Therefore, when Pi Yuan said he wanted to investigate, he gritted his teeth.

He gnashed his teeth and turned on the TV, switching to the channel his father mentioned. He watched a young man who claimed to be Pi Qing's friend yelling at the reporters in front of Pi's door with a face full of righteous indignation:

"Pi Yuan is not a good guy! The day before the fire at Pi Qing's house, Pi Qing told me that he suspected his cousin was up to no good and wanted to harm him! At the time, I thought it was just a joke from Pi Qing and ignored it, but who knew that he got drunk and died in a fire the next day?! Ha, it's ridiculous! Pi Qing doesn't like drinking at all, how could he get drunk?!"

Reporters were naturally happy to follow up on such shocking gossip. One reporter asked, "Why didn't you tell the police three years ago?"

Pi Qing's friend snorted, his face full of self-blame and anger: "I was originally thinking of calling the police, but the police concluded the next day that Pi Qing died of a drunken fire. How could they hastily come to a conclusion about a major fire incident, especially a fire incident caused by the head of the Pi family, in just one day? There must be something fishy going on here! If I had called the police at the time, I might have died like Pi Qing, also from a drunken fire!"

"Later, I secretly checked and found out that the deputy chief of the police station in City A had a close personal relationship with Pi Yuan. After that incident, it took Deputy Chief Wu less than three months to become the chief. Haha, do I need to continue?"

At this point, there is really no need for him to continue. As long as you are not a mentally ill person, you can guess that Pi Qing's death is probably related to his cousin Pi Yuan. Of course, you say that this is just a person who suddenly spoke nonsense in front of the Pi's company like a convulsion. There is no evidence for this matter at all, but rumors are often the last thing to be proven. As long as people think about it, it is basically what they think.

What's more, what that person said was very logical and well-founded. The most direct evidence is that if you check, the case of Pi Qing was hastily concluded in just one day. Although it took a few more days to close the case, it was extremely perfunctory. And that Deputy Director Wu has indeed become the director now. Coincidentally, he has also attended some of Pi's gatherings several times.

In this case, if people don't keep it in mind, then it is absolutely impossible.

For a moment, Pi Yuan's situation was extremely bad. After watching the live broadcast, Pi Yuan was so angry that he smashed the remote control.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated, but the biggest problem now is how he will deal with people's suspicion! An explanation must be given, but what the reason is and when to choose to explain are all things that need to be considered.

Just when Pi Yuan was having a headache about this matter, the doorbell rang urgently. Before Pi Yuan had time to look to see who it was, the sound of keys rang again. This time, Pi Yuan knew who it was without even looking.

Sure enough, Sun Boliang ran in with a panicked look on his face. The first thing he said when he saw him was: "A Yuan! Did you see the news in today's morning paper?! The incident involving Pi Qing has been exposed!"

Pi Yuan's face turned dark. "What do you mean by exposed? That person is a lunatic! It's just a trick used by some people to kill us! If he is really a good friend of Pi Qing, why doesn't he have any evidence? Instead of rushing to seek justice for Pi Qing, every sentence he says hints that I killed Pi Qing? So, use your brain and think carefully! There is another possibility!"

Although Sun Boliang was a bit selfish, he was not a fool. After being reminded by Pi Yuan, he immediately reacted and said with a very ugly expression: "It turned out to be Pi Qi?! I knew that scoundrel was not a good guy!"

Pi Yuan's face was still gloomy, fearing that Pi Qi had more tricks up his sleeve.

"Now that things have turned out like this, why don't you go to the company today? Otherwise someone will say something bad that will make you feel bad." Sun Boliang couldn't help but speak, but Pi Yuan shook his head and denied it: "No, if I don't go today, it will make me look guilty. No matter what, I must go today. Not only must I go, but I must go with a normal look so that I don't look weak."

After saying this, Pi Yuan seemed to have reaffirmed his thoughts. He turned around, put on his clothes and went to the company. Sun Boliang originally thought that Pi Yuan was just trying to save face, but after arriving at the company, he realized how correct Pi Yuan's concerns were. When they arrived at the company, Pi Qi and Qiu Yuan, and many shareholders of Unicom, had already arrived at the top floor meeting room.

Sun Boliang could imagine that if Pi Yuan didn't come today, then under Pi Qi's guidance, even if Pi Yuan really didn't do this, he would be completely suspected by the shareholders. The evidence was the surprise and disappointment in Pi Qi and Qiu Yuan's eyes when they saw him and Pi Yuan.

Even though Pi Yuan was furious, his expression was gentle at this moment: "Why are you all here today? Is there something important at the company or a contract to be signed?"

The shareholders were skeptical about the news they had seen this morning before Pi Yuan came. However, when they saw Pi Yuan come to the meeting room so calmly and talk to them, they began to doubt him again. If he really did it, he shouldn't be so calm, right? Could it be that someone really didn't like the Pi family? Did they want to attack the Pi family? That wasn't just Pi Yuan's business, it was directly related to all of them.

But the shareholders were hesitant and didn't know what to say, but Pi Qi didn't hesitate at all. He first showed a surprised expression on his face, and then said anxiously: "Brother... did you see the news this morning? I know it was definitely not you!! You are usually the best to me, and you always go to his villa to play, how could you hurt him? And Boliang and Aqing grew up together! He even has the key to Aqing's house. With such a good relationship, how could he hurt Aqing? That person really has ulterior motives and wants to use Aqing's affairs to discredit our Pi family!"

Pi Yuan was almost killed by Pi Qi's words! Pi Qi's words seemed to emphasize that he had a good relationship with Sun Boliang and Pi Qing and that he could not harm Pi Qing, but secretly he was pointing out that the two of them had the opportunity to commit the crime! He always went to find Pi Qing, Sun Boliang and the key. As long as they conspired together, it would be a reappearance of the incident!

Looking at the expressions of the shareholders at this time, they have indeed become suspicious again after just slightly loosening up. Those who can stand here are basically either foxes or weasels, and each one is more cunning than the other. Thinking about the unclear relationship between Sun Boliang and Pi Yuan, which everyone knows, and thinking about the fact that Pi Yuan did take over Pi's from Pi Qing, these shareholders are more "shocked" than the other!

They still remember the anxiety they had when they thought that no one would take over Pi's business after Pi Qing died three years ago. After all, although Pi Qing was a relatively new second-generation rich man, he did a good job of protecting Pi's business. What should they do if they die without an heir? Then, when everyone was confused and entangled, Pi Yuan took out the share transfer letter with a sad face.

Pi Yuan got all the shares of Pi Qing, which was 65% of the shares! Directly controlling the company. And then? Then he took over Pi's.

Although the shareholders were somewhat confused at the time, after Pi Yuan took over Pi's, he developed Pi's business well, so the shareholders turned a blind eye. Anyway, as long as it didn't bother them, it was fine.

Now thinking back to the situation at that time, the shareholders and the company's top management immediately started to have conspiracy theories. Damn, if there were no problems in this, I would have left my head for you to kick around!

But then again, what about the two cousins, Pi Qi and Pi Yuan? Why do they look like they are going to have a fight? You have to know that 20% of the 65% stake held by Pi Yuan has been given to Pi Qi. If these two big guys fight, the result is really hard to predict.

Tsk tsk, should we watch the show or place bets in advance? This is really a dilemma! Of course, at this time, no one would have thought that the final chips would be on a... hehe, "dead person".
