Chapter 124

Chapter 98: Fanwai Five: The Desire of Control

In the funeral home, there were other people in the place where they signed, so it was not suitable for chatting, so Qi Ji waited for the signing to finish before finding a remote place to talk with Xia Jing.

Qi Ji did not explain his true relationship with Pei Yusheng for the time being, but only said that the other party was his colleague. He asked, "When did you meet Mr. Pei before?"

Xia Jing's expression didn't seem to be fake, she said, "It was when I went to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the collection of evidence."

At that time, Xia Jing's parents and elder brother both entered the illegal organization by mistake, and were indirectly killed. After that, the organization was thoroughly investigated for its illegal activities, and all the people involved were arrested. As a family member of the victim, Xia Jing was once invited by the public security personnel to assist in the investigation.

It was also at that time that Xia Jing met Pei Yusheng for the first time, and her fear of him continued to this day.

After listening to her, Qi Ji's doubts did not subside much.

Public Security Bureau?

Why did Mr. Pei go there?

Qi Ji had an impression of the fight against illegal organizations. He still remembered the call he received from Xia Jing at the riverside to borrow money. Qi Ji's memory has never been wrong, and he just learned about Wen Chuming at that time. Looking back now, he is still very impressed.

But at that time, wasn't Pei Yusheng in B city and S city, busy treating insomnia and dealing with Pei Xiaolin's affairs?

How can you come to Qi Ji's hometown when you have time?

And Qi Ji had never heard Pei Yusheng mention this.

He asked Xia Jing, "What was he doing at the Public Security Bureau at that time?"

Xia Jing whispered, "I don't know. I just saw him talking to a man in uniform, and someone called that man director."

At that time, Xia Jing looked at them, and then met Pei Yusheng's gaze, and shivered in fright. Pei Yusheng's gaze stayed on her for a few seconds, and the gaze that seemed to carry substantial weight scared Xia Jing into silence, and did not dare to look up again.

Qi Ji was puzzled: "Director? Is he talking to the Director?"

"Okay, it seems so."

Qi Ji remembered that Xia Jing had told him when Xia Jing called him to borrow money that the debt company that deceived Qi Ji's parents had also been investigated. Qi Ji immediately went to check his account for debt repayment, and found that the money had not been taken away. Not long after that, he received a call from the Public Security Bureau of S City, saying that all relevant personnel had been arrested and brought to justice, and asked him to cooperate with the collection of evidence.

The huge debt that had been on Qi Ji's shoulders for many years was completely wiped out in this way.

The Public Security Bureau also helped him recover some of the money.

Qi Ji hadn't thought much about it before, but thought it was the result of the official and special investigation team's inspection. But now, he had to consider the connection between these things.

Could it be because of Pei Yusheng that the debt company was investigated?

Thinking of this, Qi Ji thought of another doubt, and he asked: "What did you just say, Qianqiu Cemetery was closed three years ago?"

Xia Jing hesitated a little, and didn't seem to dare to speak. After Qi Ji's questioning, she said: "Because Qianqiu is the highest-standard cemetery here, anyone who has the conditions will choose this one. However, Qianqiu's space is limited, and since three years ago, it has been announced that the cemetery has been closed to the public."

Since the closure of Qianqiu, other cemeteries have gradually developed, and there are several cemeteries that have been modeled after Qianqiu's operation, and have always been very popular.

"I heard people say that there will be one or two new places in Qianqiu every year," Xia Jing said, "but they are all reserved for special customers. Ordinary people just use money to buy them, and they will not buy them. Might be available."

Qi Ji felt more and more strange.

Then why did he have a place as soon as he called?

Thinking of the high price that the staff said on the phone, Qi Ji asked, "Then do you know the price of Qianqiu Cemetery?"

Xia Jing said: "They seem to have a lot of price points. I don't know the specifics, but the cheapest one seems to be 70,000 to 80,000 yuan."

Qi Ji frowned.

The price of the cemetery he had just set a few hours ago was 80,000.

But the 70,000-80,000 yuan that Xia Jing said was clearly the lowest price three years ago, and what Qi Ji bought for the 80,000 yuan was a double tomb.

The contract has been signed, and the cemetery that went to this morning is indeed the address indicated on Qianqiu's official website. Logically speaking, it should not be a low-price fraud, so what could be the reason?

The more Qi Ji thought about it, the more wrong he felt.

Xia Jing was also very tired after lining up all morning. Qi Ji ordered a taxi to take her home, while she walked to the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw the man waiting for him outside the door.

Standing under the shade of pine trees beside the door, Pei Yusheng was tall with long legs and straight shoulders, as if he had also stood like a cedar. Ordinary people can't help leaning against the wall and under the tree after standing for a long time, but this young CEO, who was always regarded as a lazy and unruly at first, has never been so relaxed.

Even the back is always straight.

Qi Ji looked at the man, lost his mind for a while, and before he could speak, Pei Yusheng, who noticed his gaze, had already raised his eyes and eased his originally cold expression.

"Is it signed?" Pei Yu asked.

Qi Ji nodded, "Yes."

The man's expression didn't change. Qi Ji was hesitating whether to ask, when he heard Pei Yu say, "Let's go, I just made an appointment."

What position? Qi Ji was stunned for a moment: "Didn't we have lunch?"

Pei Yu said, "I found a place to apply heat to relieve stasis."

Only then did Qi Ji realize that Mr. Pei was still thinking about the bruises on his body.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing the man so serious, Qi Ji still did not refuse in the end.

It took about an hour to relax with the hot compress. After they had enough rest, the two walked around the small town and went to see where Qi Ji lived before.

In the evening, they went to an old restaurant for dinner. For the cemetery, the two got up very early in the morning, and the nightlife here was relatively scarce. After a walk after dinner, they went back to the hotel first.

Qi Ji simply took a shower and came out, and saw that the man had started a remote meeting on the computer at the table. Seeing this, Qi Ji slowed down, and lightly hugged the tablet onto the bed.

Before the question was answered, Qi Jixian checked the report by himself. At the beginning, there were a lot of official reports on the operation to eliminate illegal organizations, which was also the result of the special operation to eliminate gangsters and evil.

He read a lot of news and quickly found some articles related to debt companies. These manuscripts are no different from other news. Qi sent several articles and found some new information.

The report has a few lines describing the case of the debt company.

"There is a strong response from the masses", "According to the information of the informant".

Could this have something to do with Mr. Pei?

As Qi Ji was thinking about it, the screen in his hand lit up.

It was the call from Qi Mingyu.

Afraid of disturbing Pei Yusheng, Qi Ji ran to the outdoor balcony of the room before picking up the phone.

"Ming Yu?"

Qi Mingyu had already gone to the school to report, and this time he didn't go home with Qi Ji.

"Brother, how is your parent's business? Are you done?"

"Well, the urn is ready to be moved out."

Qi Ji briefly explained the matter, and finally told his brother about the weirdness of Qianqiu Cemetery.

Qi Mingyu fell silent after hearing this.

Qi Ji said: "I don't know if we are lucky or what. I always feel a little strange, otherwise I will ask their staff when I go there tomorrow..."

"If you ask them, you won't tell." Qi Mingyu said suddenly.

Qi Ji was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Why?"

Qi Mingyu didn't answer, but suddenly mentioned an irrelevant matter: "Brother, do you still remember Uncle Xue Zhongqi?"

Xue Zhongqi is the son of Mr. Xue, Qi Ji asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Mingyu said: "His lover is the Russian, Midov. I remember Grandpa Xue said before that when Uncle Xue went to work in Europe before, the traffic was inconvenient, and he got motion sickness after driving for a long time. Then one day, the place where he lived came to The company suddenly added a new bus line, which made his commute a lot easier."

Qi Ji also heard what his grandmother said about this, and he vaguely reacted.

Sure enough, Qi Mingyu said, "Uncle Xue later found out that the line was opened by Midov who bought the bus company and opened it up for him."

Qi Ji was slightly stunned.

This is...

Qi Mingyu took a breath and simply picked it out: "Brother, have you thought about President Pei?"

Qi Ji was stunned: "Could it be..."

What Mingyu means is, did Mr. Pei buy this place specially for him?

"But why did he take so much trouble... not tell me directly?"

Qi Mingyu tutted softly: "I don't know, I'm also very unhappy with what he did."

Unhappy for a long time.

Qi Ji: "...Ah?"

Qi Mingyu temporarily suppressed his emotions and said, "Instead of asking Qianqiu's people, you might as well ask Pei Yusheng directly."

Qi Zhi thought about it for a while and thought it was right.

After chatting with his brother, he went back to the bedroom, wanting to wait for Pei Yusheng's meeting to finish.

But after walking around for so long this day, and waking up too early in the morning, Qi Ji lay on the soft bed, and soon began to fight with his eyelids.

He forced himself not to fall asleep, raised his arms, dragged his chin and waited for others. However, the drowsiness attacked, and it was impossible to resist, and within a few minutes, Qi Ji closed his eyes and leaned over.

Before his chin slipped from the palm of his hand and fell to the ground, a slender hand reached out and supported his profile.

Qi Ji opened his eyes in a daze: "Hmm...?"

The man standing beside the bed rubbed his soft cheek with his fingertips and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you lie down and sleep?"

"I have something to ask Mr...." Qi Ji said vaguely, rubbing his eyes, and then his nasal voice subsided a little, "Is the meeting over?"

"Well, wait for me to turn off the computer." When Qi Ji rolled over and sat up, Pei Yusheng took his hand back. He walked to the computer and pressed the keyboard a few times, and then he turned off the computer.

The man walked back, sat beside Qi Ji, and said, "What's wrong?"

Qi Ji was still a little sleepy, but he had already woken up quite a bit. He had made a decision before, and he didn't bother to talk about Xia Jing directly.

"Does the matter of the debt company before that have something to do with Mr.?"

Pei Yusheng lowered his eyes.

The boy had already guessed this, and he did not continue to hide it, but said: "I have provided some clues, but the thorough investigation is still due to official actions."

Qi Ji's mood was a little complicated.

How much has Mr. Pei done for him?

He then asked, "What about the cemetery? My cousin told me that Qianqiu closed the garden three years ago, and ordinary people can't buy it."

Pei Yusheng pressed his eyebrows.

In the end, he still admitted: "I bought that spot when I came last time. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to take it, so I kept it vacant, and this time I let them take it out."

Qi Ji's heart swelled slightly.

"Then sir... why haven't you told me?"

Pei Yusheng was silent.

Qi Ji looked at him, and vaguely saw from the man's expression the strange silence of the other party when he had slept for three days.

Qi Ji was puzzled: "...Sir?"

Pei Yusheng closed his eyes, and after a long time he opened his mouth in a low voice.

"Qi Qi."

He called Qi Ji's name and looked down. The indoor light source was only lit on one side, and half of the man's face was hidden in the heavy shadows.

His voice was hoarse, with a complex, incomprehensible repressed emotion.

"Do you think I interfere too much in your life?"
