CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

When he arrived at Xu Yitian's house, he kept a close eye on his surroundings, afraid of being discovered.

Guo Shaoheng stopped in front of the door, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then gently knocked on the door.

However, there was no response. Guo Shaoheng frowned, silently speculating about the reason why Xu Yitian's family had left.

Faced with this situation, Guo Shaoheng had no choice but to turn to his neighbors for help. He cautiously walked to the door of the first neighbor and rang the doorbell.

When the door opened, a middle-aged woman looked at Guo Shaoheng with some surprise.

She was wearing a drab nightgown, clearly annoyed by him.

"Good evening. May I bother you for a moment?" Guo Shaoheng asked politely.

The woman frowned slightly, watching Guo Shaoheng warily. She was clearly uneasy about the stranger's visit.

"Who are you? What do you want?" the woman asked, her voice revealing a hint of doubt and wariness.

Knowing he couldn't reveal his identity at this moment, Guo Shaoheng raised his head and pulled his hat down to cover his face.

I am a friend of Xu Yitian, and I heard that his family members have suddenly disappeared. I would like to ask if you have any information about this matter?

The woman relaxed her guard slightly, shook her head, and indicated that she did not know anything about Xu Yitian's family situation.

I'm sorry, I don't know Xu Yitian's family very well. They are usually very low-key and don't interact much with their neighbors.

Guo Shaoheng nodded somewhat disappointedly, but still persisted.

Do you know any other neighbors? Or are there any other places that might provide clues?

The woman thought for a moment, then pointed to a building on the other side of the street.

There's an old lady living over there who knows a lot about the neighborhood. Maybe you could ask her.

Guo Shaoheng was overjoyed and nodded gratefully.

Thank you so much for your help. I'll go and ask that old lady about it.

He turned and left the neighbor's house, heading straight in the direction the woman had pointed.

On the way, he kept pondering this perplexing disappearance.

When Guo Shaoheng arrived at the building, he saw an old woman standing outside the door washing clothes. Even late at night, she persisted in doing her housework.

Guo Shaoheng walked up to the old lady and greeted her with a smile.

Good evening. May I bother you for a moment? I'm Xu Yitian's friend. I heard that his family members suddenly disappeared, and I'd like to ask if you have any clues about this matter?

The old lady stopped what she was doing and looked at Guo Shaoheng with tired but gentle eyes.

Xu Yitian, is it? That poor child… The old lady sighed softly.

She continued, "The disappearance of Xu Yitian's family is truly perplexing; we have no idea what happened."

"Their family usually gets along well with their neighbors, but they don't interact much. I'm sorry, I can't provide you with any clues."

Guo Shaoheng felt somewhat frustrated, but he did not give up.

Are there other people or places I should investigate? I need to find any information that can help me find clues.

The old lady thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Perhaps you could go to the Zhao Group. That child used to work on their construction site."

Chapter 673 Looking for Evidence

Guo Shaoheng's eyes flickered, and he thanked the old lady for her suggestion. Guo Shaoheng pushed open the office door and saw Gao Qilin processing documents.

He went inside and cautiously told Gao Qilin the results of his investigation. Gao Qilin frowned, looking very worried.

"Are you sure this lead is credible?" Gao Qilin asked.

Guo Shaoheng nodded. "Yes, although it's just information from neighbors, I think it's worth investigating further."

Gao Qilin remained silent for a moment, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

He knew this clue was very important, but also very dangerous.

After all, it's too subjective of them to draw conclusions based solely on the accounts of some neighbors.

Therefore, Gao Qilin decided to first have an in-depth exchange with Guo Shaoheng and obtain more convincing evidence.

“We need more information to support this lead,” Gao Qilin finally said, making his decision.

"You continue investigating the reasons behind Xu Yitian's family's disappearance and the people who might be involved. I will look for more evidence on the other hand."

Guo Shaoheng was pleased with Gao Qilin's meticulous attitude. "Okay, I will find more clues as soon as possible," he said resolutely.

Over the next few days, Guo Shaoheng continued to gather clues.

He visited the residents near Xu Yitian's home and spoke with them in detail.

“We need more reliable information and clues to ensure our investigation is not misled,” Gao Qilin said. “At the same time, we must proceed with extreme caution.”

Guo Shaoheng nodded, his expression resolute. "I will conduct a careful investigation and find out the truth as soon as possible."

Gao Qilin smiled and encouraged him, "Very good, I believe you can do it." Cheng Yu sat in his spacious office, frowning as he answered a phone call from his subordinate.

An anxious voice came through the phone: "Mr. Cheng Yu, someone has inquired about the family of the deceased Xu Yitian."

After listening to the phone call with a gloomy expression, Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction and worry.

He asked coldly, "Have you found out who went to inquire?"

The subordinate nervously replied, "We are investigating, and we will have results soon."

Cheng Yu nodded. "Continue to monitor this matter and find out the person's identity as soon as possible." His tone was firm.

A few minutes later, Cheng Yu told Zhao Ruilong the news with a blank expression.

Zhao Ruilong sat in his seat, lazily crossing his legs, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Just take care of that person after we find him."

Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Ruilong and sneered. "Do you think this is just a small problem? We paid such a high price to block the case."

"Don't you find it strange that people are actually starting to inquire about it now?"

Zhao Ruilong looked at Cheng Yu calmly, "Since we've already sent people to investigate, there's no need to overthink it. Once we find that person and take care of him completely, no one will know about this."

...Guo Shaoheng waited silently for the contractor who had received the money to enter the office.

After a moment, the door opened, and a short, middle-aged man walked in. His face showed obvious tension and unease.

Guo Shaoheng stared intently at the contractor, his gaze revealing determination and resolve.

Instead of blaming the contractor, he patiently and understandingly persuaded the contractor to lower his guard and tell him the truth.

The contractor said in a trembling voice, "At that time... I received a sum of money... as long as I kept silent and didn't reveal the cause of Xu Yitian's death."

Guo Shaoheng stared at the contractor, and he could feel the guilt and remorse in the man's eyes.

He knew that this person had once chosen to conceal the truth in order to save his own life.

"Why did you choose to remain silent?" Guo Shaoheng asked calmly.

The foreman answered, trembling, "Because I was afraid of retaliation. Those people gave me money and told me that if I dared to tell anyone, they would make me regret it."

"Have you thought about Xu Yitian's family?" Guo Shaoheng said calmly. "They lost their husband and father, and they also need an explanation."

A flicker of hesitation and pain crossed the contractor's eyes. "I know... I know they suffered a lot too. But I was really scared at the time..."

Guo Shaoheng clenched his fist gently, his gaze resolute.

"Now you don't need to be afraid, because we will protect you. Tell me everything, and we will seek justice for Xu Yitian."

(dedede) The contractor sensed the firmness and determination in Guo Shaoheng's words. His voice trembled as he described in detail how he had concealed the truth after receiving the money in order to save his life.

He recounted his inner struggles and his inability to let go.

Guo Shaoheng listened quietly without interrupting. He knew that what this person needed right now was to confide in someone and find redemption.

Finally, the foreman stopped and remained silent for a moment. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I'm truly sorry to Xu Yitian and his family."

Guo Shaoheng gazed at the contractor, his eyes revealing understanding and tolerance.

“We will make the right decision,” he said slowly. “Give me all the relevant evidence you have gathered during this time.”

Chapter 674 Meng Yu's Reunion

The foreman nodded tremblingly, took a folder out of his pocket, and carefully handed it to Guo Shaoheng.

Guo Shaoheng took the folder and looked intently into the contractor's eyes. "You made the right choice. We will seek justice for Xu Yitian."

A hint of relief and gratitude flashed in the contractor's eyes. He knew that although he couldn't undo the mistake, he at least still had a chance to seek justice for Xu Yitian and his family.

Guo Shaoheng stood up and stopped at the office door. "You're alright now, you can leave."

The foreman stood up shakily, looking at Guo Shaoheng with deep emotion. "Thank you... I... I'm really sorry."

Guo Shaoheng nodded slightly. "I hope you can face your past and take responsibility for your previous choices."

The foreman silently left the office, knowing he was about to face even tougher days. Guo Shaoheng walked heavily into the Qiangsheng Group's office, feeling a suffocatingly heavy atmosphere in the air.

The evidence the contractor had just given him deeply wounded his heart; the truth filled him with anger and sorrow.

000 Gao Qilin sat behind his large desk, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

When Guo Shaoheng walked into the office, Gao Qilin looked up and saw his pale face, his eyes revealing deep sorrow and anger.

This was all orchestrated! They not only killed Xu Yitian, but also tried to cover up the truth! Guo Shaoheng clenched his fists.

Gao Qilin silently watched the furious Guo Shaoheng.
