C1394 They're All Alive!
"More than ten years ago, when we were only ten years old."
Chu Xuanming coughed lightly, then said, "During that meeting of the Four Great Clans, we children would gather together to play.
I remember that Qi Huanchen had a fever that time, and the butler brought him medicine to drink.
However, he refused to drink it no matter what. He even said that he would throw up if he smelled the medicine, and that he was allergic to medicine.
Because of this, he was laughed at by us for a long time."
"There was indeed such a thing. I remember it too," Wang Yao said. Huo Qiling nodded.
"That's right! Why would a person who can't even smell the medicine and is allergic to it know about rare foxtail grass?"
Lin Nan smiled and said: " Have you thought about this question carefully?"
At this point, he only needed to report the Qi Family's ID number.
Huo Wenqing said seriously, "Master Lin, you mean... this banquet was planned. Did the Qi Family prepare for it?"
"Yes! The Qi Family calculated a lot, including me. I have to admit that they are really brilliant! " Lin Nan nodded and said.
"What do you mean?"
Chu Jingyi had just understood, but now he was confused again.
"The Qi Family was poisoned, and they took out the antidote. How could they suspect such a clumsy act?" Lin Nan asked.
Everyone nodded their heads after hearing what Lin Nan said.
If they did this, it would be too obvious.
"However, they predicted that I would appear today, and I would definitely know what the antidote is.
So, after I tell them what I need, they will naturally take out the antidote to save me.
If any part of this is missing, it will arouse the suspicion of others.
And I happen to be the most important point that they are using."
" Hiss... "
After listening to Lin Nan's analysis, everyone drew a cold breath.
If they had really calculated this step, then the Qi Family was truly frightening.
However, huo Wenhai said the most critical question, "But isn't the one who poisoned the butler of the Chen Family? What right do you have to say that it was the Qi Family? "
"Then don't you think that the Chen family's reaction was a little strange?"
Lin Nan smiled faintly and said," Chen Shaoan actually didn't want me to investigate that butler's death. "
Hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered.
Indeed, chen Shaoan's reaction at that time seemed to be the same.
However, at that time, they thought that Chen Shaoan was still arguing with Lin Nan, which was why he said that.
"So, I suspect that there is some kind of secret between Qi Family and Chen Family, or rather, a deal."
Lin Nan sighed. "However, I can't figure out why Chen Shaoan would help Qi Chaosheng like this. He even... didn't hesitate to use the Chen family's housekeeper's life to help him."
At this point, everyone fell silent again!
Lin Nan himself was stuck in this dead end alley, unable to walk out.
At this time, huo Wenqing gritted his teeth and said. "I know of a possibility!"
"What possibility?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
"Because Chen Shaoan owes Qi Chao a big favor!"
"What favor? Why didn't I know?" Chu Jinyi asked in confusion.
"Chen Shaoan's life... was actually saved by Qi Chaosheng!"
Huo Wenqing knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply revealed this secret.
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked.
The knot in Lin Nan's heart suddenly opened.
"So that's how it is. Then it makes sense. No wonder the people of Qi Family protected the Chen family and drugged them in the kitchen.
My speculation just now. Not saying it all makes sense. At least it was eighty to ninety percent correct.
The Chen family was just a scapegoat. The true mastermind was definitely the Qi Family.
He wants to use today's cocktail party to build up his image of glory. As for his goal... I don't know."
"What the hell is Qi Chaosheng up to?" Chu Jingyi frowned.
Huo Wenqing was completely convinced by Lin Nan.
He only saw Qi Chaosheng's methods towards Huang Ming, while Lin Nan had almost restored the entire process through a few tiny details.
His thoughts were so meticulous that even someone like him, who had been floating in the business world for several decades, couldn't catch up to him!
"Very interesting, I was actually used as a chess piece today." Lin Nan smiled faintly.
His smile was filled with gloominess.
The feeling of being used as a chess piece was really unpleasant.
"It's getting late. Let's go back and rest early." Huo Wenqing said.
"Brother Huo, are we just going to wait and see?" Chu Jingyi asked.
"Yes!"
Huo Wenqing nodded affirmatively. "Although we don't know what that Qi Chaosheng's goal is for the time being, if he threatens us, we won't just sit and wait for death. None of us will be the catfish on the chopping board! "
" Hahahaha, I think so too! "
Chu Jingyi laughed loudly and said, "Brother Huo, this time, we have to unite against the outside world!"
"If we have a common enemy, then we must be friends!"
Huo Wenqing said, "Brother Chu, if there's a situation, let's contact again. See you in the future."1
"Okay, see you next time." Chu Jingyi cupped his fists.
Huo Qiling approached Lin Nan and asked in a low voice. "Master Lin, what do you plan to do?"
"Let's wait and see." Lin Nan smiled meaningfully.
……
Late at night, the Chen family mansion was filled with cries.
Liu Kui usually took special care of his servants, and there was no one in the estate who didn't respect him.
He didn't expect that when he went out in the morning, he would turn into a cold corpse at night.
"Butler Liu, why did you leave just like that? Last time, I threw two bowls and plates, and you couldn't bear to let me get punished. You were the one who paid for it and bought it again. How could the heavens not open their eyes to such a kind person!?"
"Uncle Liu, the peach tree you planted in the backyard only bloomed next year. You can't see it anymore..."
"Butler Liu..."
Seeing this group of servants weeping endlessly, chen Shaoan's eyes also turned red.
"Three days of Spirit Guardian, bury Uncle Liu."
After saying this, chen Shaoan walked out of the hall and into his study.
When he came to the study, chen Shaoan suddenly threw all the brushes, ink, and inkstones on the desk onto the ground. Then he let out a long sigh and said, "The ancestors of the Chen Family, i, chen Shaoan, have let down my ancestors!"
"Dad!"
Chen Yifeng walked in, his eyes red.
Chen Shaoan restrained his emotions and said, "Yi Feng... It's hard for me to feel at ease. Now, uncle Liu exchanged his life for mine. "
"Dad, don't say that. Uncle Liu is loyal to the Chen family. He did it voluntarily." Chen Yifeng comforted him.
Chen Shaoan recalled the scene of Liu Kui accepting his request without hesitation in the hotel, and his heart fiercely tightened.
There was no way for him to survive if he poisoned and pleaded guilty in the hotel. Liu Kui surely knew that.
However, liu Kui didn't have any complaints.
He'd died for the sake of the Chen Clan, and he was willing to do so.
"Yi Feng, go and send some money to Uncle Liu's wife and son tomorrow. Tell them that Uncle Liu died by accident. After that, the Chen family will take responsibility for their lives." Chen Shaoan sighed.
Chen Yi Feng was surprised and asked, "Uncle Liu's wife and children were all buried because of that forced dismantling?"
"That was just an excuse to poison himself."
Chen Shaoan gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, uncle Liu's wife and children are still alive."
