Chapter 40 Is it safe? Qing Gu snatched his phone…

When dialing this number, Lan He didn’t hesitate at all. He had rehearsed this moment countless times in his heart and looked forward to it for who knows how long.

The phone connected, and a male voice speaking fluent foreign language came from the other end: “Lan He.”

Lan He walked towards the bathroom while holding the phone: “How did you know it was me?”

The other end laughed: “The day someone came to buy the Sixteen-sided Dice, I knew it was you. This number is specially prepared for you.”

“You really are something.” Lan He turned on the faucet. The noise of running water immediately filled the bathroom. This was his usual method of preventing eavesdropping when discussing important matters. “Log into x Gallery in half an hour. I will upload four photos.”

“No problem!” The other party replied readily. “How have you been these years? I heard that Da Sang has been looking for you.”

“I’m fine, I’m very safe.” Lan He didn’t want to say more. “Then I’ll leave it to you. The commission will be as previously agreed.”

“Thank you, boss, ha, wait for my news!”

“Okay, then goodbye, Juris.”

“Bye-bye!”

Ten minutes later, he uploaded four photos of cultural relics to x Gallery. This gallery was built on a free server overseas and automatically cleared the gallery every two days, leaving no trace at all.

Afterwards, he turned off the computer and, in the spirit of not wasting, took a fragrant and pure white milk bath in the bathroom.

Just as dawn was breaking, Tuxi Ling took a shower in the public bathroom of the Municipal Bureau. When he lay down on the bed in the rest room, he could barely open his eyes.

After 36 hours of non-stop pursuit, the two suspects were still nowhere to be seen. The game platform of Xiao Xu was also in trouble. Qing Gu hadn’t been online for several days.

Tuxi Ling was a little annoyed. He had finally put aside his pride and borrowed a large sum of money from Lan He, but it was useless.

Just now he contacted Jia’an Gu and asked if he had any news about Qing Gu. Jia’an Gu said that he hadn’t been able to contact Qing Gu for several days either. He called the hotel where he was staying, and they said that he was still in the hotel and had gone downstairs for breakfast in the morning, but he refused to answer the phone.

“Officer Ling, I suspect that Qing Gu is protesting.”

“Protesting what?”

“After you came to my house last time, I asked him to return to China immediately. Maybe my tone was not very good. He’s just throwing a tantrum at me! Don’t worry, when he runs out of money in a few days, he will obediently come back.”

“Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation.”

Tuxi Ling was still worried and planned to sleep for a while. After the colleagues from the Economic Investigation Department went to work, he would go and inquire about the accounts of Gu’s Trading to see what the situation was. If there was a problem, he would ask Director Liu for instructions to see if they could merge the cases.

He turned over on the bed, his eyes falling on the necklace placed on the bedside table.

He hadn’t been home these days, and this necklace had become a hot potato. It was a little conspicuous to put it in his pocket, and he was worried about being seen if he put it in the office, so he could only wear it on his chest.

The pendant was too big and sometimes felt a little uncomfortable against his body, but he didn’t seem to regret accepting this small trouble. Occasionally, when no one was around, he would take it out and look at it a few times, trying to find the pattern of the numbers on it.

Eight sides are numbers, and eight sides are flower shapes. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern.

Tuxi Ling looked at it under the desk lamp for a while, and the alarm clock rang.

It was already dawn?

He just stared at a necklace and missed his short rest time.

The colleague from the Economic Investigation Department said that the investigation of Gu’s Trading had ended. The client had transferred 80 million yuan to their foreign account. After this payment was recovered, except for the transaction details of that sum of money being burned on the day of the explosion, there were no flaws in the company’s other accounts.

Tuxi Ling sighed. He always felt that there was something wrong with this family, but Qing Gu, the only one he could catch, was still abroad, and he didn’t know when he would be back.

At this moment, the phone rang. It was Shengbo Xia calling.

“Team Ling, Suspect No. 1 has shown his face!”

–

Early in the morning, Si’nian He accompanied Lan He to the hospital to remove the stitches, and then went to the notary office with him. Xiaocheng Chu had been waiting there for a long time.

In this way, Weiyu He’s third will officially took effect. The 7.4 billion yuan in assets, including wealth management, funds, bonds, trusts, and other movable and immovable properties, were transferred to Lan He, and 59% of the shares of He’s Group and the Aerospace Charity Foundation were transferred to Si’nian He. Lan He would no longer participate in any affairs of the group, including profits and dividends.

For Si’nian He, all of this was completely unexpected. He even suspected that his adoptive father, Weiyu He, was testing him to see if he was qualified to inherit the inheritance.

But, had he really passed the test?

Ya Gu triggered the third will because of her affair and divorce, but the culprit was himself. Thanks to Lan He’s intention to secretly digest the matter, otherwise, would he still be qualified to inherit the inheritance?

He obviously knew the contents of this will a long time ago, so why did he let himself go? If he was discredited, the entire group would surely fall into his hands. How could he not be tempted at all?

Could it be that the confession that time touched his heart?

That’s right, after being together for so many years, he couldn’t possibly have no feelings for his enthusiasm at all!

Thinking of this, he felt a little excited: “Brother, it’s noon, it’s time to eat. Since you like candlelight dinners, we…”

“Not going.” Lan He interrupted him.

Like hell, he was bringing up things he shouldn’t!

The only candlelight dinner he had in his life was with Ya Gu, and that meal was unforgettable for him. Another one?

Si’nian He was given another cold shoulder, but he became even more excited. He didn’t even realize that no matter how Lan He treated him, he could absorb it all. The colder he was, the more motivated he became.

“Brother, if you’re not in a good mood…”

“Jiu Ya, stop the car.”

The car stopped by the side of the road, and Si’nian He was kicked out of the car. When the car started again, the driver, Jiu Ya, grinned silly. The current situation was somewhat familiar.

This bodyguard of his had abandoned his real employer and switched to Lan He’s side.

Si’nian He was a very capable person, but he admired Lan He even more. He spent the most time alone with him and knew very well how strong his heart was. He was a natural leader, but it was a pity that he didn’t seem to have any ambition.

“Young Master Lan, where shall we go next?”

“Home.”

“The broadcast just said that there was a major accident on the expressway. It’s been blocked for a long time and hasn’t been cleared yet. It should be faster if we detour to the lower city, but the road conditions are not very good!”

“Whatever.”

The car drove onto an uneven old cement road. When passing an intersection, a black electric car started on the side of the road and followed like a ghost.

On both sides of the road, one could vaguely see the smoke from the villages in the distance. The scenery was pleasant. Jiu Ya initially hummed a folk song full of local flavor, but he stopped humming as he hummed.

“Young Master Lan, there’s a car following us.”

Lan He understood Jiu Ya. He wouldn’t say it to scare him unless he was 100% sure.

He more or less knew who it was, so he smiled and asked, “It should still be those two people. Are you confident?”

Jiu Ya puffed out his chest and raised his head, saying in a super loud voice: “Of course! Jiu Ya will definitely wipe out the previous humiliation this time!”

Lan He curled the corners of his mouth.

“Please sit tight, Young Master Lan!” Jiu Ya suddenly accelerated and overtook the car in front. Sure enough, the car behind also sped up, tightly biting behind them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to overtake and change lanes, Lan He saw the car flashing behind him in the rearview mirror. It was a flamboyant purple Lamborghini, extremely showy. Even through the car window, he could hear the huge engine roaring as it accelerated.

Lan He was slightly stunned. How could it be him?

He patted the headrest: “Pull over.”

“Ah? Oh!” Jiu Ya obediently stopped the car, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start a big fight.

At the same time, the purple Lamborghini overtook them and stopped in front of their car. The door opened, and someone who looked a little familiar to Jiu Ya came down.

Oh, he remembered. He had seen him once. He was the younger brother of Young Master Lan’s ex-wife, and he had brought a family doctor to the He family on his sister’s orders that time.

It wasn’t an assassin after all?

He punched the cotton: “Young Master Lan, this…”

He saw that Lan He had already opened the car door and got out.

“Qing Gu?” Qing Gu’s face was a little swollen, and there was no brilliance in his eyes. Lan He felt that something must have happened to him. “What’s wrong with you? When did you come back? Are you feeling unwell?”

Qing Gu rubbed his eyes: “I arrived this morning, and I haven’t gotten over the jet lag yet.”

“Oh, then what are you doing? Why didn’t you call if something happened?”

“The phone… is lost. Come to my car, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“About Man Qin.”

Qing Gu had always been unserious, but this time he gave Lan He a big surprise. He was silent for a moment and took the lead in walking towards Qing Gu’s car.

Jiu Ya wanted to follow, but he stopped him: “Wait for me here for a while.”

Jiu Ya wanted to follow Officer Ling’s “never leave” principle, but Lan He’s expression was serious, and this Qing Gu was a friend, so nothing should happen. So he nodded, leaned against the hood of his car, and took out a cigarette.

It seemed like he was smoking to relieve boredom, but in reality, he was guarding against emergencies. This Young Master Lan had been facing one difficulty after another recently, and he was really scared.

As soon as the car door closed, all the noise outside was blocked. Qing Gu put his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at Lan He, and quickly moved his eyes away, as if he was guilty.

“Lan He, I…”

“What did you just say about Man Qin?”

“Maybe, what he did to Uncle He has something to do with me.” Qing Gu swallowed. “But I really didn’t expect him to do that kind of thing! The police, the police are already eyeing me, I can’t escape, I…”

He was talking incoherently, but Lan He’s phone rang inappropriately.

Qing Gu’s condition was a little abnormal, and Lan He didn’t want to interrupt him, but when he saw that it was Tuxi Ling calling, he patted his shoulder: “Qing Gu, calm down a bit, I’ll answer the phone first.”

Qing Gu glanced at the caller ID on his phone screen, his face instantly became very ugly. Lan He ignored his abnormality because he was too happy and answered the phone with a smile.

“Hello? Officer Ling!”

“Lan He, where are you?”

“On the way home, the expressway is blocked, so I’m taking the Xiachang Road.”

“Are you safe now?”

“Huh?” This question made Lan He stunned. “Me? Safe, right? I’m with Qing Gu!”

Tuxi Ling’s shocked voice came from the receiver: “What? Qing Gu? He’s back in the country?”

“Ah…” Lan He was stunned again and subconsciously glanced at Qing Gu.

At the moment their eyes met, Qing Gu snatched his phone and pressed the button to start the car at the same time. The car sped out like a rocket.

Jiu Ya, who was not far away, was forced to inhale a large mouthful of exhaust fumes, and his cigarette fell out. When he realized something was wrong, he had already instinctively ran back to open the car door.

He cursed a national essence, and the accelerator pedal almost went into the fuel tank, but Qing Gu was driving a sports car, and even the best sedan was inferior in this regard.

The wide wheels of the Bentley burst the small stones on the road and ran over Lan He’s phone, and the call interface with Tuxi Ling immediately turned pitch black.
