Chapter 222 Power
Chen Yimin returned home and after a night's rest , he continued to search the Internet, but had not received any information about the murder case in the suburbs.
After arriving at the company, Chen Yimin refreshed the Internet again. Finally, there was a post on the forum about a fire in a rental house in the suburbs, and two photos were attached. Chen Yimin recognized it as Liu Pengfei's house at a glance.
Two or three minutes later, when Chen Yimin refreshed the page again, he found that all the messages on the forum had been deleted.
He stared at the computer screen with a frown on his face. The Zhang family, one of the four major families... was truly extraordinary. Even the news about one person could be blocked so easily.
After work, Chen Yimin disguised himself, painted his face darker with foundation, and with just a few strokes he turned himself into a clown. Then he put on a set of cheap clothes and walked towards the suburbs.
He was wearing a pair of very old shoes, his hair was messy, his eyes were covered by bangs, and the sharpness in his eyes was inadvertently revealed.
Arriving at the rental house in the suburbs, Chen Yimin grinned and bought a bowl of beef noodles from the noodle shop next door. He looked aside casually: "I heard that there was a fire here last night. Is it true?"
The boss of the noodle shop rubbed his face and nodded with a look of fear: "Yes, I heard that someone was burned to death. When he was carried out, his body was all black. It was really scary to look at... Later the ambulance came, and I heard that there was a fire while cooking, and he was burned to death... You have to be careful with natural gas nowadays..."
The boss shook his head and said it was terrible, then warned the children playing nearby to be careful when using natural gas.
The child looked at him in confusion. Chen Yimin ate two mouthfuls of noodles, paid the money and left.
He felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that the Zhang family was really different... They could settle this matter so easily!
Chen Yimin let out a breath and felt bad. He went back to take a shower, changed his clothes, and went to a nearby bar.
The bar was in a mess, Chen Yimin drank one glass of wine after another. If he had known, he should have asked someone to investigate again. He was rich and powerful at that time, but now he is really a phoenix in poverty.
And I don’t know whether the evidence has been destroyed by them.
I guess he won’t find anything even if he checks now.
Moreover, he did know very little about the affairs of the four major families, and many things were very one-sided.
Chen Yimin held up a clean wine glass, shook it gently, opened the system interface, and bought a new lighter.
Whenever he was confused, he would habitually buy a lighter.
Many times, he relied on this lighter to walk out.
"Congratulations to the host for making a successful purchase. You won a lighter, and buy one get one free for superb makeup skills."
Chen Yimin used the technology and sighed. He really didn't know what this thing was for. He was a little drunk, and his eyes were blurry. A beautiful woman came over.
She painted her lips red, supported her chin with one hand, and tilted her head to look at him: "Would you be so lucky as to buy me a drink?"
The woman had a delicate appearance. The tails of her eyes were outlined with pink eyeliner, slightly upturned, and embellished with sparkling glitter. She looked very charming. Chen Yimin stared at her face for a few seconds.
"Your eyeliner is not drawn well. It will look better if you draw it a little higher, making your eyes look bigger."
The woman was stunned for a moment, glared at him, then turned and left.
You're really sick!
Even when I invited her to have a drink, she was reluctant and said that her makeup was not done well.
What does a straight man know about wearing makeup or not? Her sisters all praised her for being so beautiful today.
Chen Yimin paid the bill, rubbed his slightly swollen temple, and walked towards the door. He was drunk as hell, and when he got out of the elevator, Chen Yimin found a dark figure squatting in front of his house.
Xia Li raised her head, revealing a pretty face that was tearful. She took a deep breath and choked up, "Chen Yimin."
"Um."
Chen Yimin responded, took out the key and opened the door, inviting her, "Come in if you have anything to say."
Xia Li shook her head, her eyes slightly red, looking pitiful like an abandoned puppy. "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to be with me..."
Chen Yimin was silent for a moment, then said, "I have always regarded you as a friend."
Xia Li wiped her tears, stood up, rushed over and hugged him tightly, her heart beating fast, and she put her red lips to his.
Xia Li said: "Chen Yimin, this is the last time I come to see you. From now on, we will never meet again. I am getting married. Goodbye..."
Chen Yimin was stunned , but he didn't push her away. Then Xia Li left resolutely. Chen Yimin stretched out his hand, touched her hair, and then withdrew it suddenly.
What right does he have to keep her?
What kind of identity did he use to keep her? Chen Yimin sighed, "I hope you will always be happy in the future."
Xia Li paused, and she turned around. Under the light from the corridor, her tear-stained face was revealed: "I will never feel happy if I am not with you. "
Chen Yimin finally did not try to keep her. He still carried a deep hatred on his shoulders and closed the door with a heavy heart.
Lying on the bed, his mind full of Xia Li's tearful face, Chen Yimin suffered from insomnia, a rare occurrence. He sat on the balcony and smoked all night.
His feelings towards Xia Li were complicated.
Chen Yimin was a little distracted throughout the whole day, and even made a few small mistakes at work. Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, what's wrong? You are in such a bad state today. Do you want to take a leave?"
Chen Yimin came back to his senses and shook his head: "I'm fine."
When I clicked on the webpage and searched for the Zhang family, a message popped up that the Xia Group was engaged to the eldest son of the Zhang family.
Clicking on the photo, Xia Li's smiling face caught his eye, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Chen Yimin's breath was caught in his throat. Xia Li was engaged to someone from the Zhang family?
No……
He will deal with the Zhang family in the future. If Xia Li gets engaged to a member of the Zhang family, then he...
Chen Yimin opened the phone number of Xia Li, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time. He wanted to tell Xia Li not to get engaged to someone from the Zhang family, but his fingers paused again.
He didn't have the face to say such things to Xia Li.
Gu Chen looked at Chen Yimin, who was distracted, lost, and finally full of decadence. He swallowed and said, "Brother, are you heartbroken? As the saying goes, heartbreak is a normal part of life. Cheer up! Wake up, wake up, what kind of girl do you like? I'll introduce my friend to you, how about that!"
"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Yimin turned off the computer, picked up the water cup and filled it with water, then rejected him expressionlessly.
