Song Yue cried for a long time, and finally Zhou Yanqing forced her into the car.

Zhou Yanqing found a hotel nearby and opened a room for him. Song Yue lost all her vitality, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she followed behind with few words.

Sending the person into the room, Zhou Yan lightly comforted him for a while, and seeing Song Yue's mood calmed down, he said: "I have to go back to work, you should be in a hurry to go home, have you decided on a date?" Air tickets?"

The distraught Song Yue suddenly raised her head, only then did she remember that her father was still waiting in the hospital. Although there would be no life-threatening without the operation, the operation time could not be delayed any longer.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, Dad's surgery can't be delayed any longer." Song Yue replied.

Zhou Yan checked the flight information lightly, and said: "There is a flight tomorrow afternoon, I will book a ticket for you, and I will come to see you off tomorrow."

Song Yue sent Zhou Yanqing to the door of the room, but couldn't help asking after all: "Brother Zhou, can I really see my brother..."

Hearing Zhou Yanqing's words, he was seriously reflecting on himself and his parents along the way. He tried to face this matter from his brother's point of view. As Zhou Yanqing said, he couldn't do it anymore He opened his mouth to ask his brother to see his father for the last time, but he really wanted to see his brother and say sorry in person.

Zhou Yan sighed lightly, and couldn't bear to say: "I will convey your original words to Mr. Song. As for whether he wants to see you, it depends on what he wants." He patted Song Yue on the shoulder, "Your father's The operation will go well, don't worry too much."

Two years later, Song Yanshan was still alive and well, so Zhou Yanqing had the confidence to say such a thing.

Song Yue nodded gratefully: "Thank you." After a pause, he continued, "Actually, my dad also misses my brother very much. Many times I saw him secretly crying with my brother's photo, and he also I've always wanted to come to my brother, but my mother... "

Zhou Yan twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and said nothing. Abandoning his wife and children is a fact, so what's the point of thinking about it in the corner, and what's the point of finding it

Coming out of the hotel, Zhou Yanqing went back to the company, parked the car steadily, he didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but took out his diary from the bag he carried with him.

He turned to the page of "Song Yue" and stopped. This page was densely written on a whole sheet of paper, and his eyes wandered over the most important information.

If Gao Lei is the key to open Pandora's box, then Song Yue is the one who stepped into the box with him.

In the previous life, on the day they came out of the cemetery, the two sat down in a coffee shop.

At the beginning, the two were very wary of each other, until Song Yue asked Zhou Yanqing again whether it had something to do with his brother's death, Zhou Yanqing decided to tell Song Yue what he knew, because he wanted to know why Song Yue wanted to So, did he also find something strange about Song Yu's death? And if he wants to gain Song Yue's trust, he must first show his sincerity.

Besides, apart from Song Yue, Zhou Yanqing has no other choice, Gao Lei has disappeared, who else can he go to.

So, Zhou Yanqing told him about meeting Gao Lei and telling him the address of the cemetery, but he concealed the "Farmer and Snake" email.

Song Yue was very shocked after hearing this. He hesitated for a moment and took out a document from his bag. It turned out to be a copy of the film investment cooperation agreement, but it was obviously not complete, and only two pages containing important information were copied. .

Zhou Yanqing took a quick look at it. It was a cooperative project between Song Yu's studio and a company called "Xianying Media". Song Yu's company was responsible for script investment, and "Xianying Media" was responsible for production and distribution. The investment amount was 30 million.

Film and TV investment is a project with relatively low risk in the investment industry, but the rate of return is much higher than that of any industry. The capital threshold is not high. It is normal for Song Yu to invest in one or two projects as an insider, but why does Song Yue have this

Zhou Yanqing hurriedly asked him, Song Yue said that it was the day after he attended Song Yu's funeral, someone sent a courier to him at the hotel, the sender's information was fake, and the number couldn't get through at all.

Zhou Yanqing was startled when he heard that, why would someone send this to Song Yue? Is there a problem with this investment project? Or is there a problem with the whereabouts of the 30 million huge sum of money

Regardless of whether it is true or not, what is certain is that this person knows the special relationship between Song Yue and Song Yu and wants to disclose some information, but the other party is afraid of implicating himself, so he can only remind Song Yue in such a cryptic way.

Is this person Gao Lei

Zhou Yanqing's eyes were red, and he squeezed Song Yue's arm tightly, asking him to explain everything in detail.

Song Yue was a little frightened, and nodded obediently.

Song Yue learned about Song Yu's suicide from the Internet. Although his mother did not allow it, he has been using the Internet to follow his every move since he knew that Song Yu had become a star in China.

That day, after seeing the trending news about Song Yu hanging himself, like everyone else, he firmly believed that it was fake news and someone fabricated it.

He originally wondered whether to tell his father Song Yanshan about this, but Song Yanshan had already learned about it from the Internet, and fell ill in a hurry.

After Song Yanshan's condition stabilized, Song Yue flew to China immediately and successfully got in touch with Meng Shiping.

The day he arrived was also the day when Song Yu's studio released the obituary. The police investigation had ended and the police report had been issued. Song Yu was already lying safely in the funeral parlor.

Song Yue was overwhelmed with grief, he followed Meng Shiping to the funeral home to see Song Yu's body in a daze, and followed Meng Shiping to the public security department. However, because Song Yue is a foreigner and cannot prove his family relationship with Song Yu for the time being, the police did not disclose the details of the investigation, but only informed of one investigation result, and he did not even have the right to view the autopsy report.

Then came Song Yu's simple funeral, except for Song Yue and the company staff, there was no one else.

After attending the funeral, Song Yue originally stayed two days before going back to discuss with his father how to deal with Song Yu's estate, because Song Yu did not leave any survivors, and his father is legally the first order of heirs.

As a result, Song Yue received the mysterious email the next day. He wasn't a fool either, so he realized that except for some strange things, he didn't rashly tell anyone about it. But he was not familiar with the place in China, so he planned to discuss it with his father after returning home. Never thought that when I went to the cemetery to bid farewell to Song Yu, I ran into the sneaky Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he tremblingly said: "The person who sends you the courier must know your hotel, room number or mobile phone number before sending it. Can you recall who knows your address?"

Song Yue slapped her head and suddenly realized: "There are only two people. The hotel was opened by Meng Shiping for me the day I arrived in S City. On the day my brother was buried, a beautiful sister sent me back to the hotel. I went to pay my respects to my brother in the cemetery today. Did you see that woman? I'm sure, only the two of them know."

Zhou Yan pondered lightly. Meng Shiping obviously didn't need to send Song Yue an incomplete agreement in this way. In the future, Song Yue will assist Song Yanshan in handling Song Yu's inheritance, and the company's detailed financial information will be shown to him. Then It can only be the "sister" in Song Yue's mouth.

What is she trying to say by sending a copy of this agreement? Let Song Yue investigate this company and this payment

Zhou Yan was annoyed for a while, and didn't go up to say hello today, but after thinking about it, the other party sent an express to Song Yue anonymously, which showed that she was as jealous of someone or some people as Gao Lei, even if she asked her face to face, she would definitely I also dare not admit it.

"Do you know the name of that sister?" Zhou Yanqing said with a straight face, "Have you ever been to your brother's company?"

Song Yue shook her head: "No, we were all very sad that day. I didn't say a word. I got off the car directly when I arrived at the hotel. I didn't have a chance to go to the company. Brother Meng said that the company was in chaos after my brother died, and it had a psychological impact on everyone. It's also very big, everyone needs psychological intervention treatment, and the company started a long holiday after my brother was buried, so I haven't had the opportunity to visit the company so far."

Zhou Yan nodded lightly, and told Song Yue that Gao Lei had sent him an email.

The blood on Song Yue's face faded completely, and she sat there pale like a sculpture.

Although the whole matter is still covered by clouds, both of them can confirm one thing, the story of "The Farmer and the Snake" and the 30 million film and television investment agreement, these two things are directed at one person, that is Meng Shiping, who is in a joint business relationship with Song Yu.

There is also Gao Lei's appearance in the cafe, and the mysterious "sister"'s secretive attitude. These all prove that they are afraid of a character who is more powerful than them. At present, it seems that it can only be Meng Shiping.

It's a pity that the public security department has closed the case, and these speculative things in their hands are not evidence. Together, the two decided not to startle the snake, but to find a way to see if they could find some evidence.

So the two split up, and Song Yue went to Meng Shiping to ask for the address of Song Yu's home. This should not be difficult, and Meng Shiping had no reason to refuse.

After Zhou Yanqing returned to his residence, he checked "Xianying Media" on the Internet immediately. This is a small film and television production and distribution company. It has only been established for one year and has released two short web dramas with average hit rates. .

He asked a few friends in the circle and found out that Xianying Media is indeed a formal company, but there are so many small companies like this that no one would care.

Song Yu's company and this company signed an agreement three months ago. The title of the movie on the agreement is "Life and Death Hunting", which is about police and robbers.

Zhou Yanqing also checked the movie, and found nothing other than the filing information, which means that the project has not been started since the contract was signed for three months. Generally, it takes at most two or three months for a film to start shooting. Even if the filming has not started, it is time to start looking for a director and production team. Some information can be found on the Internet, but there is no movement from this company.

Investing 30 million in a little-known small company, if the agreement is really agreed and signed by Song Yu, it means that Song Yu trusts this company very much, or Song Yu wants to bring capital into the group. But Song Yu himself didn't need it, could it be for other artists under the company

The mobile phone on the center console rang suddenly, and Zhou Yanqing, who was concentrating on it, was taken aback and pulled himself out of the memory.

Zhou Yan caressed his thumping chest, and answered the phone, it was Song Yu calling.

"I haven't come back yet, are you in trouble?"

Song Yu's gentle voice tapped on the eardrum, Zhou Yanqing's heart trembled, and he replied: "It will be there soon."

"Okay, be safe."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yanqing didn't go back to the company directly. He went to the cafe on the first floor to buy a cup of Monica's favorite coffee before going upstairs.

The elevator door opened, and Meng Shiping stood upright in the elevator.

Zhou Yanqing hurriedly nodded and said hello: "Brother Meng."

A flash of surprise flashed in Meng Shiping's eyes. He took a step aside and asked, "Doesn't the company have a coffee machine? Do you like this?"

Zhou Yan raised his hand lightly to glance at the coffee in his hand, and said with a smile, "No, Monica likes to drink it, so I bought it for her."

Meng Shiping smiled ambiguously: "You like her a lot?"

Zhou Yanqing didn't deny or admit it, he smiled lightly and replied, "Monica is quite cute."

Meng Shiping didn't seem to agree, he shrugged noncommittally.

The elevator went up, and the two stood silently on each side.

Zhou Yan stared at the ground lightly, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.
