Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 547: First Hearing the True Events of That Year

"If only it had been this easy from the start."

Su Chen pursed his lips and sat back down on the couch, his expression becoming exceedingly grave as he waited for Qin Ming to speak.

Qin Ming looked at him and shook his head helplessly, sighing:

"I haven't been able to uncover much so far, but I can say for certain that the Su Family, the Situ Family, and the Zheng Family were definitely involved in that incident back then."

"Any leads?"

At this moment, Su Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten—it was his first time hearing anything about the truth of those past events.

"Su Lou of the Su Family died out of town, not in Yandu. The reason he went out of town was that a corporation under the responsibility of Su Yuan from the second branch had encountered a major issue. At that time, the main branch was in charge of the Su Family, so he reported to Su Lou. Su Lou then rushed over immediately that very night, only to never return."

"Judging from some traces and signs, the problems of that corporation were very likely a ruse orchestrated by Su Yuan himself, with the goal of luring Su Lou there. Su Lou was impeccable in all other respects, his only fault being his deep sentimentality, especially towards his family—to whom he was nearly blindly devoted!"

Speaking of Su Lou, Qin Ming too felt deeply wistful. Such a once-in-a-generation outstanding man had met his demise so young—it was truly regrettable and deplorable.

"Due to Su Lou's death, his wife Mu Tong became depressed, losing interest in food and drink. She was close friends with Mrs. Zheng Qiusheng from the Zheng Family and Lady Situ from the Situ Family. Seeing her in such a state, they persuaded her to take a trip. Yet unexpectedly, she was poisoned and passed away, less than 24 hours after returning to Yandu."

Qin Ming continued:

"Speaking of Mu Tong, she was in no way inferior to her husband Su Lou; her demeanor and beauty were unmatched. Nowadays in Yandu, probably only that young lady from the Pei Family could compare with her."

"A celestial couple once envied by all passed away one after the other within a month—it really seems like fate playing tricks on us!"

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Su Chen's whole being seemed to tremble, his face turning deadly pale, though he tried hard to control it!

"Are you alright?"

Qin Ming asked, his heart already harboring certain suspicions. In fact, he had always had these suspicions, but he had been reluctant to believe them!

"I'm fine."

Su Chen mustered a faint smile and said:

"What about Su Yi, the old Family Head? Are there any clues about his death?"

"I've looked into it, but there's no particularly useful information yet."

Qin Ming shook his head and said:

"That's about all I have been able to find out so far."

"Old Qin, thank you!"

This was the first time Su Chen addressed him as Old Qin, and the first time he sincerely thanked him.

However, Qin Ming didn't feel honored by this; instead, he felt a sense of unease.

"Su Chen, are you..."

Before Qin Ming could even finish his question, Su Chen had already stood up and laughed:

"The tea here is really not bad, I'll come back for another drink next time."

After saying that, he walked toward the door of Qin Ming's office. Just as he opened the door, Qin Ming's voice rang out from behind him again:

"Su Chen, please don't do anything rash!"

Su Chen turned his head and gave him a smile filled with mischief, then left without another word...

"Hopefully, he won't stir up any major trouble!"

Qin Ming watched Su Chen's retreating figure and slumped onto the sofa, his expression somewhat defeated...

Having returned to his car, Su Chen didn't drive away immediately, but instead sat and lit a cigarette, rolling down the window to ponder.

"It seems this old guy is still not being honest!"

Su Chen smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.

In the conversation just now, Qin Ming mentioned the current Su Family, Zheng Family, and Situ Family but deliberately left out the Shen Family and Pei Family, the two biggest clans.

The Pei Family he was unsure of, but the Shen Family?

Going by the principle that whoever benefits the most has the most motive, the Shen Family was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of the incident back then.

If it weren't for the disaster that struck the main branch of the Su Family, the Shen Family would not have had the chance to leapfrog into the position of the number one clan!

Moreover, considering Su Lou's talents, there was no possibility, at least in the foreseeable future, for the gap not to widen even further!

Just by that alone, the Shen Family can't be absolved of involvement, and they might even be the masterminds behind it all!

Of course, the second branch of the Su Family also gained a lot, after all, with the main branch in trouble, all of the family's business and power fell into their hands.

However, given the status and influence of the second branch of the Su Family at that time, it would have been quite difficult for them to orchestrate the whole scheme.

Su Chen also understood Qin Ming's predicament. After all, the Shen Family was the number one family in Yandu. If the Shen Family were implicated, the fallout would be too great!

After smoking two cigarettes and clearing his head a bit, Su Chen started the car and left the area...

These days, those young masters had also become increasingly restless, as the people they sent out had all failed to return, and when discovered, all were found dead!

This filled them with both shock and fear, and when they gathered together, they realized that each had sent out at least two or three groups of martial artists, none with low realms, yet all had vanished without a trace!

They wondered, just who was that guy? Could he really be that terrifying?

For a time, no one dared to send more people out, because it was tantamount to sending them to their deaths!

They even became scared, fearing that the madman would suddenly come after them for revenge, so they dared not even step out the door...

....

As Su Chen was rushing back to Rainbow Mansion from the Special Security Bureau, at Qimeng Tower's third floor, in Qi Meng's boudoir,

A woman wearing a bustier and a light gauze robe was lounging on a sofa, her fair skin and shapely contours faintly visible.

At that moment, she was giving a seductive smile to a man seated next to her, each grin and giggle seemed full of charm, ensnaring the soul!

This man was not breathtakingly handsome, but rather somewhat chubby. He seemed to be sitting upright, but the desire lurking in his eyes was blatantly obvious.

If the young masters of Yandu saw this man, they would surely be startled, because this man was none other than Shen Lin, the most disdained eldest son of the Shen Family!

Because Shen Shao was so extraordinarily stunning, he eclipsed all peers of his age and also made others in the Shen Family lose hope of becoming the Family Head at an early age.

Therefore, Shen Lin, who should have been the first in line to succeed, indulged himself in drinking and the pleasures of the flesh, living a life of debauchery.

Naturally, Shen Lin's self-degradation also drew everyone's contempt, and usually, when walking down the street, most were unwilling to even greet him.

Of course, this also included the implication of courting favor with Shen Shao, as Shen Lin's status made him a natural enemy, even if he was worthless!

But who would have thought that Shen Lin, like a waste, would appear in Miss Qi Meng's boudoir!

This was something even Shen Shao couldn't achieve!
