Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

Shen Jiyuan frowned deeply.

Sun Huai from Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory? He felt like he'd heard that name somewhere before.

He squinted at Zhao Tong, "Do you have any leads on the person who was following us this morning?"

Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment.

Shen Jiyuan's gaze sharpened. "Zhao Tong, I know your difficulties, but since this matter involves the safety of me and my son, I cannot stand idly by. I have the right to know."

Zhao Tong sighed, gestured with his chin toward the sofa, and said, "Sit down and let's talk."

"Hey, I was planning to come over for dinner tonight, but I didn't expect you to run into trouble again so soon."

Zhao Tong unplugged the USB drive and strolled over to the sofa, where he sat down.

Shen Jiyuan glanced at him, and finally lifted Shen Ji off the stool. Shen Ji was already numb from being lifted so much that he obediently stood on the ground like a little chick.

The father and son walked over to the sofa and sat down with their arms crossed.

Seeing the two of them making the same movements, Zhao Tong couldn't help but laugh again. "Hey, you two, even without a DNA report, I doubt anyone would doubt your father-son relationship."

Shen Jiyuan glanced at Shen Ji and snorted proudly in his heart.

That's right, look who this face resembles.

"Alright," Shen Jiyuan said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense, just spit it out."

Zhao Tong sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and said in a deep voice, "Two days ago, we received an anonymous report. The person who reported the incident said that eight days ago, he found a woman who was seriously injured at the old Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory."

"The person who reported the incident didn't dare take her to the hospital directly, so they called 120."

"But when the ambulance arrived, it couldn't find the exact location. Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory is currently relocating, and the old factory site has been abandoned."

"The person who reported the incident had no choice but to go out and meet the ambulance. However, when he returned with the ambulance, the injured person was gone."

Shen Jiyuan narrowed his eyes. "Gone? Was that Su Qian?"

Zhao Tong nodded. "The person who reported the incident was very strange. He and the medical staff searched around but couldn't find anyone, so they had no choice but to leave."

"According to our investigation, the medical staff who were dispatched that day reported the incident to the police after they could not find the person, but the police that responded was not from our city's public security bureau, but from the local police station."

"When the police contacted the Su family, they said that Su Qian had already returned home."

"That concludes the matter."

"Until the day before yesterday..." Zhao Tong said in a deep voice, "The person who discovered Su Qian before the day before yesterday anonymously reported that he suddenly saw the news that Su Qian had died, and that she had died of illness."

"He found it strange, but was afraid of getting into trouble, so he hesitated for a long time before anonymously calling the police."

Zhao Tong said, "We investigated Su Qian's cause of death, and the Su family is indeed adamant that Su Qian died of illness, and they even have complete hospital medical records and a death certificate."

"We have checked Su Qian's hospital records and procedures, and they completely match what Su's family said. She has always been in poor health and has to be hospitalized from time to time."

"But..." Zhao Tong raised his eyes slightly, "There are two ways... let's call it the way of death for now. According to the person who reported the case, even if the ambulance arrives in time, Su Qian's injuries might not be enough to save her."

"Heh." Zhao Tong curled his lips. "It's rather interesting that one person can die in two different ways."

Shen Jiyuan frowned as he listened. "And then?"

"Because someone called the police, and we verified the 120 emergency dispatch records and police report records from the provincial hospital, which indeed matched the person who called the police, we temporarily believed the person who called the police that Su Qian was murdered."

That's why the investigation was launched.

"We found out that Su Qian had another son, but he disappeared after Su Qian's death."

"Until..." Zhao Tong's gaze shifted and landed on Shen Ji, "he appeared in front of your house."

That's how everything happened.

Shen Jiyuan raised an eyebrow. "Can we really believe what that person who called the police said?"

Zhao Tong shrugged. "Hey, that's why I told you to take the police academy entrance exam with me back then."

"Your family has no shortage of heirs, so why do you insist on coming back to inherit the family fortune?"

Shen Jiyuan ignored him with a cold face.

Zhao Tong chuckled, "The person who called the police did have a lot of contradictions in their story, but guess what? The phone data they left behind doesn't show any information about them at all, and even their voice when they called the police was altered."

Shen Jiyuan frowned.

Zhao Tong said, "This person... is no ordinary person, able to bypass the police system's tracing and location tracking."

Shen Jiyuan asked in a deep voice, "So, you mean that the people following us and that fat man Wei Tian are very likely connected to the person who killed Su Qian?"

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "That fat man is Sun Huai's cousin from Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory. As for the people following you..." He paused and said, "We don't have any leads on that side yet."

Shen Jiyuan truly couldn't understand. "Isn't Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory the Su family's largest business partner? Su Qian is the person in charge. They have no reason to kill Su Qian, do they?"

If we had to find a reason, it would most likely be that something went wrong during the collaboration and Su Qian discovered it, so Sun Huai hired someone to silence her.

But... how big of a problem would it take for someone to kill the person in charge to cover it up?

That's incredibly audacious.

"Dad," Shen Ji whispered, leaning close to him, "Little Fatty's mom keeps saying she wants to have someone kill my mom so she can take her place as the young mistress of the Shen family!"

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback.

Oh right, how could he have forgotten about the Su family?

Why did the Su family conceal the cause of Su Qian's death?

And Su Qian is dead, so why are so many people coming to find Shen Ji?

Could it be that Shen Ji possesses something they desire?

Shen Jiyuan suddenly remembered that Shen Ji's dog father always carried a small backpack on his back, which Shen Ji said was a keepsake left to him by Su Qian.

He hadn't opened it since Shen Ji returned.

Could it be that Su Qian really left something for Shen Ji?

It seems he needs to go back and take a good look at the things that Shen Ji brought back, including Shen Ji's stray dog ​​father, he needs to check them thoroughly too!

Zhao Tong raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, I've told you everything I know. I heard from that kid Lao Jiang that you're also looking for someone to investigate Su Qian's death?"

"Hey, tell me, what's going on between you and Su Qian...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jiyuan's cold glare made him swallow his words back.

Zhao Tong grinned, raised his hand and made a zipping motion, then shrugged and said, "By the way, for your safety, the team will send someone to protect you."

Shen Jiyuan said coldly, "Do I need your protection?"

Zhao Tong retorted righteously, "I don't need it, but my son does." He clapped his hands with a smile at Shen Ji, "My good son, your godfather will protect you from now on."

Shen Ji: "..."

Shen Jiyuan's face darkened. "Go to hell! When did I ever agree to be your godfather?"

Zhao Tong retorted confidently, "You wouldn't agree to me becoming your godfather either, and besides... godfather sounds awful, people who don't know better would think I'm committing a crime."

Shen Jiyuan and Shen Ji: "..."

Zhao Tong smiled and picked Shen Ji up from the sofa. "Come on, your godfather will take you to buy candy so your dad can work hard to earn money for your milk powder."

He leaned close to Shen Ji's ear and whispered, "Let him be a beast of burden. All the money he earns will be your inheritance. We won't bother him."

Shen Ji chuckled, "What my godfather said is absolutely right!"

The two, one big and one small, strolled leisurely out of the office right under Shen Jiyuan's nose.

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

What happened to your promise to protect him closely?
