Bai Shiqi looked at Liu Qingyang drinking one glass after another. He knew what he was enduring.
"How is it? You can't figure it out, right?"
"What can't I figure out?"
"I don't understand why he would worship your grandfather and your father's memorial tablets. Also, he left an empty memorial tablet for you. Is this what you don't understand?”
"Yes, I didn't expect him to do this. Actually, you invited me over for dinner today because you wanted me to see these, right? I want them to see me. Your idea is not bad. I observed everyone's reaction when they saw me tonight. It wasn't as strong as I expected. You must be very disappointed!"
"What am I disappointed about? You're the most disappointed! You're in luck tonight. Brother, be careful. The second daughter of the Shao family is not to be trifled with. She changes boyfriends faster than she changes clothes. Unfortunately, you took a liking to her tonight. Your troublesome days will come in the future.”
"Is that so? Why didn't I notice? You still don't know me. Other than your sister, everyone else is just a pile of bones in my eyes. I can't be bothered with them.”
"White bones, it must be the bones of the White Bone Demon! Anyway, I've reminded you. It's your business whether you care or not. Anyway, that little girl is not to be trifled with. Last time, she took a fancy to a boy. The boy had a girlfriend, and he forced him to be with her. The boy did not agree, so she got someone to beat him up. Then, she almost got someone to rape the boy's girlfriend. Sigh! "If Shao Ying hadn't called me and I had run to the school to stop her, this little girl would have gotten into trouble. Just this matter, she still acted as if nothing had happened and continued to go back to school to attend her classes. I was about to die of anger. I originally wanted to tell her parents, but you also know what kind of people the Shao family is. Other than Uncle Shao Kang's family who has some compassion, I really don't agree with the others. He looked so arrogant, as if someone owed their family something.”
"Is that so? This little girl was so capable. Just like the Shao family. Alright, let's not talk about them. Since you invited me to dinner tonight, tell me your intentions! You wouldn't invite me over for a meal so casually, right?”
"I know nothing can hide from your eyes. I just want to see their reaction, especially the old man. Why is there no evidence for what happened back then? Think about it, who was he back then? As long as you say one word, isn't your father's matter simple? But why didn't he say anything? Shouldn't the relationship between your two families be deeper than ours? But why didn't he show up? The reason was that he was also involved, but why didn't he say anything all these years? Don't you find it strange? From the moment you entered the door, didn't you see the wine glass in his hand tremble slightly? Although he hid it well. But it's useless, really."
"I won't let the person who hurt my family live a good life, no matter who he is.”
"Don't worry, I won't either. You were once my good brother. Although I didn't cry after what happened to Uncle Liu, my days were really not good during those years. Are you full? Did he wear warm clothes to school? Especially when I saw my sister become depressed day by day and call your name in the hospital, I swore that I would find you. If you died, I would find the murderer who framed Uncle Liu back then, no matter who he was.”
"Hahaha, looks like I didn't befriend you for nothing.”
"What do you think? I just want to give Uncle Liu an explanation. I can't forget how he taught me how to play chess when I was young. When he's free, he freeloads at your house. Uncle Liu takes care of me better than your biological son. How can I not care about his matters?”
"How is it? Are you still playing chess?”
"I'm not playing anymore. I suddenly thought of Uncle Liu, but sometimes, I go to the old man's house and play a few games with him.”
"Is he still playing?"
"He's fine. He's playing by himself. I asked him why. He always smiles and doesn't speak. Actually, I know that he's regretting what he did! Actually, sometimes I wonder why he could hate me so much back then. He was the secretary of the provincial party committee. He could solve the problem with a word. Why didn't he say anything? He was afraid that he would offend someone and lose his official position. Or something else? Did you know? I had thought of many ways to absolve him of his crimes, but for some reason, I rejected them all. I also suspected my father and Uncle Shao Kang, but in the end, I really couldn't think of how much power they had to do this at that time. After all, Uncle Liu was still in position at that time. Although Uncle Shao was also in the bureau at that time, his position wasn't enough to threaten Uncle Liu! There must be a mastermind behind this. "After Uncle Liu was arrested, Uncle Shao Kang took over Uncle Liu's position. As far as I know, he even caused a ruckus at that time. He caused a ruckus. In the end, he locked himself in his room for three days without eating or drinking. It was only after my father went in to persuade him that he went to work. I've also thought of getting something out of the old man's mouth, but you know who the old man is. Whenever I mention your father, he'll find an excuse or just smile. Sometimes, I find it hard to associate such a kind old man with the murderer who hurt Uncle Liu. It was true. Maybe I have my own selfish motives, or maybe I'm avoiding it and not willing to believe it. After I saw you at school last time, I checked again. In the end, I talked to the old man, but he still laughed it off. A while ago, I wanted to have a good talk with you to see what to do about this matter. However, you schemed against me behind my back. I was so angry that I didn't want to tell you anymore and let you investigate it yourself.”
"Hahaha, how did I trick you?”
"You still dare to say no. Do you think I don't know that you've planted such a huge landmine beside me?”
"I knew that I couldn't hide anything from you. Since you already knew about it, why didn't you pull it out? The fact that you can still keep it until now proves that you're becoming more and more shrewd. Not bad, like a real businessman."
"I'm a businessman to begin with. I'm covered in the stench of money. I can't compare to a great intellectual like you.”
"I told you I couldn't find anything after all these years. How did you find anything?”
"Actually, it wasn't me who found out. It was my father and Uncle Shao Kang who found out. Have you forgotten the relationship between the three of them in the past? I once told you that my father and Uncle Shao Kang couldn't be the murderers who harmed Uncle Liu. Otherwise, would they still need to look for them after running around all these years? Do you really think that they're looking for you to silence you? "If that's true, then the price they paid is too high. Have you forgotten that my father is a businessman? A businessman won't do a business that loses money.”
"That's true. So it's always been my goal that has a problem! But since they had found out, why didn't they tell the disciplinary department? That way, my father wouldn't have died in prison.”
Are you stupid? You're really an intellectual. What can they do if they tell the discipline inspection department? Uncle Liu was already dead. And the old man was still alive. Could Uncle Shao Kang personally send his father in? Don't forget that he's the deputy governor now. If it were you, would you do this? I think Uncle Shao Kang must be in pain. Didn't you see the look in his eyes when he saw you today? I observed that he was sitting at the table, not taking a single bite of the food. He was just drinking. My dad too. I think they all know who you are.
"Have you noticed that the second son of the Shao family, Shao Zhuang, doesn't look right either? Although he didn't have a part in what happened back then, based on my observation, he definitely knows something. He had just graduated a year ago! She was working as a secretary in the municipal government. He definitely knew about this. Otherwise, he would not have such an expression today. Only the third son of the Shao family, Shao Da, was eating by himself. At that time, he was still young and was probably in his fourth year! All my information was stolen by Fei 'er from Uncle Shao Kang's house.
I remember when I was in my second year, I went to his house to play chess with the old man. Uncle Shao Kang came back. At that time, he seemed to be the deputy secretary of the Political and Law Committee. He seemed to be in charge of public security and discipline inspection. I'm not sure about the details. When he came home, he took a leather bag. I glanced at it inadvertently. It seemed to have Uncle Liu's name written on it. I saw him walk into the room and put the bag behind the books on the second floor of his bookshelf. I knew that it must be very important. After we get home, I'll find an excuse for Fei 'er to steal that thing back. We ran to the typing and photocopying department three stops away from home and photocopied all those things, then asked Fei 'er to send them back. I remember Fei 'er once asked me why? I told him that if he wanted to see Brother Qingyang sooner, he had to help me. At that time, she had just started her first year of middle school.
"Therefore, every time I go to the Shao family's house, I will pay attention to the documents that Uncle Shao brings back. As long as Uncle Liu's name is on it, I will remember where he put it. Then, I will let Fei 'er steal it, and we will make a copy. Wasn't this a little despicable? Fei 'er also asked me, and I said that as long as I can find the murderer for Uncle Liu, it's worth it.
"What did I say? Why did you confirm that I was Liu Qingyang after meeting me for the first time? You knew that I would come back, and that I would come back for revenge.”
"Actually, when I first saw you, I really didn't recognize you. After all, it's been more than ten years, and you look like your mother. It was the afternoon of the second day after I met you. A few people from the municipal bureau came to my place for lunch. One of them was your classmate at the police academy, right? They were talking about Uncle Liu's problem when I happened to walk past the private room. At that time, I went in and toasted them. Then, I pretended to chat with them and asked about your situation. Only then did I know that you were back. The teacher who approached my sister was actually my good brother, Liu Qingyang. However, he had now changed his name to Ren Zhong. The company was going to go public and there was a problem in the restaurant. I was so busy that I didn't have time to care. My sister suddenly fainted and was hospitalized. All these things added together made me exhausted and I didn't have time to care about you. When I was about to talk to you, I realized that you had placed a time bomb beside me, so I couldn't be bothered with you. But we're still brothers, and I swore in front of Uncle Liu's memorial tablet that I would help him find the murderer. That's why I asked you to come tonight. I think you got the answer you wanted. What are you going to do next?"
"My mind is a little messy tonight. I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I've thought about it.”
Liu Qingyang didn't expect Bai Shiqi to tell him everything so frankly. It turned out that he was wrong. If he had known this would happen, he would have contacted him in the past and found out the mastermind together. But now that he had some clues, why was he so hesitant? If family was the best way to appease people, then how could evil be appeased? We all don't want everything to happen, but it still happened.
In front of fame and fortune, people seemed too small. What did family and friendship count for?
