Love You Till the End-Chapter 943 - 942: Did You Find Anything Out About the Shooting Incident Before?

Qi Jingren’s call came back, and after much consideration, Su Jiuyi decided to tell her what Su Manning had said. After all, if something really happened, Qi Jingren was a trustworthy friend.

It was lunchtime, and few people were in the garden. Just as Shi Aoju was about to drive out, he noticed some blurry smudges on the windshield. With his obsession with cleanliness, there was no way he would drive out with the car in such a state.

So he got out of the car, intending to get a different one from the garage, when he happened to see Su Jiuyi walking through the garden with her head down from a distance.

Why isn’t she taking a nap?

His hand rested on the car door as he calmly watched the little woman who was lost in thought.

"Hey," he spoke coldly, with a slight frown on his brow.

Hearing his voice, Su Jiuyi turned to where it was coming from, meeting Shi Aoju’s deep eyes. His gaze was like an unfathomable lake, perfectly concealing his thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Aoju’s noble and stern facial features softened under the sunlight, making him appear slightly more relaxed.

Su Jiuyi had been preoccupied with how to deal with Xiao Chen, not noticing him until now.

Seeing him seemingly about to go out, she thought it made sense, as Shi Aoju was always busy. It wasn’t unusual for him to head out in the middle of the night for work.

She shook her head and said with a hint of insincerity, "Nothing."

In truth, what she’d been contemplating was that if Su Zhenxiong really forced her to marry Xiao Chen, she would run away from home. The money she’d earned from working during college, along with what she made at Ciaos, would be enough to sustain her for a while.

Besides, she could stay a bit longer with the Shi Family, but she wasn’t sure if there had been any progress on that case.

"Did you find out anything about the previous shooting incident?" she probed.

Hearing her question, Shi Aoju frowned. After buying the land in the west of the city yesterday, he had someone clear the area and discovered a secret passage in an abandoned building. From the photos taken by his assistant, it seemed to be an underground casino, with many cigarette butts and empty wine bottles inside, but completely deserted. It seemed like they had moved after catching wind of something.

That area, though abandoned, still bore the government’s sign. Running a criminal organization on public property in today’s law-abiding society was incredibly bold. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The hijacked cargo had been recovered, but only the boxes and a few rifles. The possibility that the gun used in the shooting of Su Jiuyi was among them couldn’t be ruled out, so to be safe, he had each fingerprint checked, but as expected, there was no useful result.

As for the mall, Qin Shaobai had already identified employees matching the identity information. According to feedback from Song Zhike’s team, they were ordinary people, with nothing suspicious about them.

His investigators discovered that during yesterday’s auction, there was a businessman acting suspiciously, making numerous covert phone calls and being the last contender against the Aotian Group for the land.

It seemed like he had predicted Shi Aoju’s intention to buy the land, pushing the price up significantly. It eventually caused the auction organizer to exceed their budget when securing the land.

However, the man’s identity bore no suspicious traits; he was just an ordinary businessman with clean accounts and no involvement in underground activities or records of arms trafficking. Either this was his true identity, or he was hiding something.
