Peerless CEO Falls In Love With Me

C972 The Intent of the Pearl of the Sea



C972 The Intent of the Pearl of the Sea

"I've verified it again. You didn't do anything bad last night!" Hai Zhu whispered in my ear, "You're getting stronger and fiercer than before."    

    

Hai Zhu, of course, didn't know why I was getting more and more ferocious.    

    

At the same time, Hai Zhu's words made my heart jump. So Hai Zhu wanted to do that thing with me to verify this.    

    

Hai Zhu seemed to have become more and more scheming, and more and more suspicious.    

    

I felt a pang of sadness, and a deep uneasiness.    

    

In the afternoon, Hai Zhu went to the company and I went out.    

    

I need three things now: how did the police react to what happened last night? How was Dong Xue? Where were she, Alai and the bodyguards? What happened to Lee Shun and Qin? Where are they?    

    

I made a few calls, whether it was Lee Shun's or Qin's, whether it was Dong Xue's or Alai's, none of them worked.    

    

I contacted Fourth Brother again, but he also didn't have any news.    

    

It was as if these people had vanished from this world overnight.    

    

As we passed the People's Square, I saw Lee and his wife, Qiu Tong and Lee, playing with Snowy on the lawn. Qiu Tong was sitting on a chair beside them, watching them silently.    

    

I did not appear, did not greet him, looked at him from a distance for a long time, then turned and left.    

    

There was nothing else on that day.    

    

The next day, a piece of news that I had anticipated but still gave me the chills came over me: The police have begun to arrest Lee Shun in public!    

    

The first to tell me that this is the Emperor.    

    

It was the Emperor who took the initiative to invite me to meet him. The meeting place was a teahouse on the coast in the suburbs.    

    

In the morning, there were very few people at the teahouse. The Emperor and I had tea in a small room.    

    

The Emperor told me that within 30 minutes of the shooting, the police had arrived at the scene. At this time, both sides had disappeared, leaving only the corpses on the ground. Other than Bai Laosan, the other two dead were villagers who were innocent.    

    

The police blocked the scene and conducted a routine investigation for evidence. They quickly came to a preliminary conclusion and decided that this gunfight was a gang fight. According to the police's analysis and the eyewitnesses' reports from the nearby villagers, the police determined that Bai Laosan and Lee Shun were the two parties to the war. Bai Laosan and the two dead men were both from Lee Shun, Bai Laosan was hanged and the other two villagers were killed by Lee Shun while passing by.    

    

So the police issued an order to arrest Lee Shun.    

    

"Do you really think that's what happened?" I asked the Emperor.    

    

The Emperor laughed: "I don't think that's important. The police have authority over them. They are the law enforcers, the machines of violence. According to what I've heard, the police have ample evidence that Lee Shun was present at the scene with his men, that there was a gunfight, that Bai Laosan was still dead, and that two other innocent villagers were killed. Given the feud between Lee Shun and Bai Laosan, of course Lee Shun would have been the biggest suspect, and anyone else would have thought so. "    

    

"In other words, the police have suspected Lee Shun of killing Bai Laosan and two innocent villagers!" "No," I said.    

    

"Yes!"    

    

"The police have now focused their pursuit on Lee Shun. What about Bai Laosan's case?" "No," I said.    

    

The Emperor said, "There is a preliminary conclusion within the police department that a lot of Bai Laosan's affairs, which were exposed by the media in the past few days, have been investigated without any evidence. This is a public scandal, and the police decided not to open a case for investigation. Moreover, the police officials have ordered that he is dead, and there is no point in wasting manpower and resources to investigate him.    

    

The higher-ups had instructed them to focus on pursuing Lee Shun, which also meant that the police seemed to no longer have any interest in the matter regarding Bai Laosan and Young Master Yanjing as well as the other media's incidents. They had to put it on hold for a long time, or else the case would be quietly dropped.    

    

And now that Bai Laosan was dead, the public's attention would no longer be focused on him. It was meaningless to get along with a dead person and no one would continue to pester him. Now, the public's attention was focused on the gunfight that night and the innocent people who were killed. And now, the biggest suspect was Lee Shun! Lee Shun became the focus of police attention. "    

    

Hearing the Emperor's words, I couldn't help but think of Guan Yunfei.    

    

Bai Laosan's death was a heavy blow to Guan Yunfei, who wholeheartedly wanted to use Bai Laosan's accident to topple Lei Zheng. With his death, the police quickly came to a conclusion, that he had no reason to continue inciting the media to talk about Bai Laosan, and that he had no right to interfere in the police case. That was Lei Zheng's territory, it didn't count.    

    

If Lei Zheng took this opportunity to instruct the police to stop their further investigation of Bai Laosan and fully investigate the murder of Bai Laosan and the innocent villagers, no one could say what was inappropriate about it. Guan Yunfei was even more speechless. Even if Sun asked him to increase his publicity and coverage of Lee Shun, he would not be able to refuse.    

    

Without a doubt, Guan Yunfei must be extremely disappointed at this moment.    

    

Undoubtedly, Lei Zheng was greatly relieved. He was finally able to catch his breath under Guan Yunfei's pressure. Perhaps he would have to fight back next. Of course, as Qiu Tong had analyzed, before he caught Guan Yunfei's braid, his attack might not have been directed at Guan Yunfei, but it might have been aimed from another direction.    

    

The Emperor continued, "Bai Laosan's death doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. I heard that you ate with Minister Guan and Sun Dongkai from the city council's Ministry of Propaganda on the night of the crime. And in this case of Lee Shun, I heard that the relevant leaders of the city committee have instructed them to thoroughly investigate Lee Shun's evil deeds in recent years in Hsinghai, and to dig up Lee Shun's background.    

    

Lee Shun hadn't made any movements in the Hsinghai for the past one or two years and had been messing around in the Ningzhou. It seemed that his actions during the last one or two years didn't become the focus of attention for the police. In that case, your brother seems much more secure. "    

    

Hearing this, my heart quivered. What was the meaning of digging deep into the background?    

    

I looked at the Emperor and said, "You know quite a lot. You knew nothing the night of the shooting, and now you seem to know everything. "    

    

The Emperor chuckled, "Brother, you have to protect your own soul when you do things. I know what I should know, I know what I shouldn't know. I definitely won't know."    

    

I said, "Then, do you really think that Bai Laosan and those two villagers were killed by Lee Shun?"    

    

The Emperor said, "It doesn't matter what I think. The point is, what the police think. As far as I'm concerned, I wish all three of them had committed suicide. "    

    

I said, "I think it was Lei Zheng who arranged for these three dead people to be killed. "Lei Zheng wanted to keep his mouth shut to protect himself. He was afraid to investigate Bai Laosan's background and pull him out, so …"    

    

The Emperor smiled. "Where is the evidence?"    

    

I said, "No!"    

    

The Emperor said, "Brother, if you say that you can't do anything, you have to give us proof! It doesn't matter if you say this in front of me, but if you say it out loud, you have to be responsible. This is slander and framing. "    

    

I said, "I also suspect that Wu De and you are involved in this as well."    

    

The Emperor laughed out loud. "You suspect me? "Let me tell you the truth, I definitely did not participate in this. As for the others you suspect, I will say the same thing again. You can suspect anyone, but you must have evidence. There is no evidence, and words have no basis.    

    

I said, "You can find evidence! Even if you were not involved in this matter, you would definitely be aware of it! "    

    

The Emperor looked at me sternly. "If I said that you wouldn't believe me if I didn't know about this!"    

    

"Yes!"    

    

"But I really don't know about it! I don't have any evidence to support what you just said. No matter what, Bai Laosan is also Lei Zheng's brother-in-law. No matter what, General and Bai Laosan are friends, I don't believe that they would go and kill Bai Laosan. As for the so-called reason you've analyzed, it's even more ridiculous. " The Emperor said.    

    

"You are lying with your eyes wide open!" "No," I said.    

    

"I did not! I won't easily suspect anyone until the truth is revealed! " The Emperor said: "Brother, the law values the evidence, Bai Laosan's death, I really did not know beforehand. As for who exactly killed Bai Laosan, I will not jump to the conclusion! "    

    

I looked at the Emperor, wondering if the words he had said were all an act.    

    

The Emperor continued: "Bai Laosan seems to be fine, but he is dead. Lee Shun is still alive, but he is missing and has become the target of pursuit. This pair of enemies had been fighting for so long that it seemed that the victor had been decided. However, it seemed that it was impossible to tell who was the victor. Sigh. In the end, it seemed that no one could achieve true victory because of all the grudges between the martial arts world and people. The dead are long enough, and the victor is without joy. "    

    

I said, "Let me ask you something!"    

    

"Speak!"    

    

"Where are Alai's bodyguards and Dong Xue? Do you know? "    

    

"I don't know!" The Emperor replied very straightforwardly.    

    

"Can you figure it out?" I said again.    

    

"No way!" The Emperor replied in a very nimble manner.    

    

"Then do you know if they're dead or alive?"    

    

The Emperor smiled. "Brother, you are trying to trick me into telling you that I really do not know, and that under the current circumstances, I will not go around asking for their whereabouts. I don't want to make trouble for myself.    

    

Also, little brother, let me give you a word of advice. Right now you are in the limelight, so it is fortunate that you are not involved. Don't go around asking around for information or you might get yourself involved.    

    

As for Alai's bodyguards and Dong Xue's group, I believe that they will appear when the time comes. You don't have to worry about that. "I know you care about Dong Xue's safety. Actually, you underestimated Dong Xue's ability. She will still protect herself. She's actually a very smart girl."    

    

Somehow, the Emperor's words made me feel a little relieved. I said, "If that's the case, you seem to know some things about them!"    

    

The Emperor said, "No comment. I only know that Dong Xue is not a fool. She won't jump into a pit of fire. She has the ability to protect herself. Sometimes, a woman's sense of self-protection is much stronger than a man's."    

    

I felt some relief again.    

    

The Emperor said, "Bai Laosan is dead. Lee Shun is wanted. Some people are happy while some are worried. There was more than one person he was happy for and perhaps even more than one who was worried. "Based on my analysis, I don't think Lee Shun would be caught that easily and this show doesn't seem to end that easily. In fact, the true curtain has just started."    

    

I said, "What do you mean?"    

    

The King gave a meaningful smile and said, "Go on and understand it for yourself. You're not retarded, you're an extremely smart person, you probably know that as well. "    

    

I said, "I'm willing to be a retard in front of you. Speak!"    

    

I won't tell you. I will only tell you, I am just like you, I know nothing, I am also a retard, I am also willing to be retarded in front of you! "    

    

I smiled at the Emperor. "I want to treat you as a friend, but you are unwilling!"
