What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]
Chapter 60
Li Huaicheng looked at the small box in his hand, and for some reason, his eyebrows twitched. Seeing Jiang Siyuan's look full of expectation, he put the box in his pocket, and said: "Hua has no tradition of opening gifts in front of guests. , I’ll go back to my room and look at it later.”
Although Jiang Siyuan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, he also knew that Li Huaicheng would not open it if he didn’t read it, so even the loss was only for a moment, and Zhou Ziyou’s words quickly shifted his focus. Zhou Ziyou looked at Li Huaicheng’s hairstyle Said: "Your hairstyle today is super MAN, very cool, which hair stylist did it, I will do it another day."
He Dong sneered: "What you like is that it looks taller when it's puffed up."
"get out!"
Zhou Ziyou, who was poked at the center, became angry from embarrassment, and kicked towards He Dong, who dodged without haste, with a very public smile on his face.
Jiang Siyuan smiled and said, "Your hairstyle is very handsome today."
Li Huaicheng: "Thank you."
He Dong and Zhou Ziyou chased and ran to the other side, Jiang Siyuan suppressed the smile on his face and asked, "Did you catch the person you mentioned yesterday?"
Yesterday because of Li Huaixin's incident, Li Huaicheng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, so he simply called Jiang Siyuan, because Jiang Siyuan was there when Li Huaixin fell into the water, so when he told him what happened, Jiang Siyuan Soon as a bystander, he gave his own advice.
The two discussed for a long time, although they did not come to any conclusion, Li Huaicheng felt relieved in his voice and fell into a deep sleep.
"No, my father is already sending someone to look for him." Li Huaicheng smiled wryly, "Before, I could only find reliable private investigators to help investigate, but there were no clues at all, even the Li family couldn't ask the investigators to investigate in a short time To find out this matter, after all, I don’t even know the appearance of the suspect, now that I know the identity and appearance of that person, things will be much easier.”
Jiang Siyuan also saw through the worry hidden in Li Huaicheng's eyes, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, that person doesn't have the guts to do it a second time."
Li Huaicheng shook his head. How could he not be worried? Li Huaixin saw that person's face again yesterday. If that person really wanted to prevent future troubles, he would very likely attack her again. Now Li Huaixin's safety has become the biggest concern of the whole family question.
Last night, Li's father found a simulated portrait artist overnight, and drew the portrait of that person according to Li Huaixin's dictation. It turned out that the person was actually Zhang Da, the son of the old gardener of Li's family, and immediately sent people to arrest him. , but when they arrived at the place where Zhang Da lived, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan were halfway through talking, Zhou Ziyou and He Dong had already walked back with their shoulders crossed, Zhou Ziyou straightened out his messy collar and hairstyle, lay down on the table in a lack of interest, and said, "It's so boring. , let's find something to play with."
"what do you want to play?"
He Dong casually ate a piece of fruit, and lazily said: "Have you not had enough fun at the bar these days? Be careful of kidney deficiency after playing too much."
"Young people's world, what do you know?" Zhou Ziyou rolled his eyes.
"You guys go to my room to play games." Li Huaicheng walked to the edge of the terrace, glanced at the cars that were coming in one after another, and said to them: "I have to go down and say hello to the guests."
Zhou Ziyou patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "Thank you for your hard work."
The three of Jiang Siyuan left, and Li Huaicheng also went downstairs.
Although he had to deal with the guests during the day, he could not be said to be busy. When the banquet started, Li Huaicheng, as the protagonist of the banquet, became really busy.
The cups of wine are intertwined, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, and the people passing by are smiling sincerely or falsely. I don’t know how many times they have confronted each other in private. with.
Gao Sijin, who was looking at this side from a distance, showed a satisfied smile, and said to Li Zhiming: "Huaicheng has grown up, it's time to join the Gaoyuan Group as an intern."
Li Zhiming frowned slightly, looked at the smiling Gao Sijin, and said, "He's still young, wait until he's a senior."
Gao Sijin shook his head, "He's not young anymore. I was already studying in the company at such a young age. Sometimes being young is an advantage, and the development of the studio that Huai Cheng and Lei's two children jointly invested in is also very good. I think he is mature enough now. Judging from the development of his small studio in the past few years, he is worth cultivating in terms of vision and ambition. In a few years, I may not have such energy. "
Gao Sijin's last sentence seemed to be a sigh, Li Zhiming's eyes shone, and he frowned and said to Gao Sijin, "Don't say such things again."
Gao Sijin shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "You should know, I can't wait any longer."
Li Zhiming's eyebrows were raised high, and just as he was about to say something, he saw his wife walking towards him with his youngest son, so he could only not mention it for the time being.
"Dad, uncle, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them didn't seem to be in a good mood, Li Huaicheng couldn't help asking one more question.
Gao Sijin's usual gentle smile had returned to his face: "We were just talking about your internship in the company."
Li Huaicheng was slightly surprised, and said, "Is it so early?"
"It's getting late." Gao Sijin said with a smile, "The earlier you enter the company, the earlier you can get started. Moreover, during your school days, you spend more time studying in the company and getting a feel for the overall atmosphere. The real job has to wait until you graduate."
Li Huaicheng pursed his lips, looked at his mother who suddenly fell down for some reason, nodded and said, "I see, uncle."
"Why are you all here?" Without saying a word, Fang Rui walked over with a smile, and said to Li Zhiming: "Uncle Li is looking for you, it seems that there is something he wants to tell you."
Li Zhiming nodded, whispered to his wife, then turned and left.
Noticing that the smile on Gao Sijin's face has faded a little since Fang Rui came over, Li Huaicheng turned his head to Fang Rui and smiled: "It's nothing important, by the way, Aunt Fang Rui grew up with her parents before, so she should treat her old The house is very familiar."
Fang Rui didn't know why Li Huaicheng asked that question, but she still nodded with a smile and said, "The few trees that grew out of nowhere in the garden in the backyard were planted by a few of us. It was just a whim, but I didn't expect them to grow very well. "
Li's mother also laughed, and said warmly: "Because Fang Bo took good care of it, I still remember that I said before that we would plant one there after we had a child. I didn't expect that after we really had a child, I would forget it."
"Yes." Fang Rui tied a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling delicately: "We were really innocent back then."
"Aunt Fang, do you often go to the courtyard to play?" Li Huaicheng smiled lightly, as if purely curious.
Fang Rui smiled slightly and thoughtfully said: "Of course I will go. The rockery and tourist trees over there are the best cover for us to hide and seek. We will still play there until we enter junior high school."
Li Huaicheng opened his eyes slightly, seemed to be very interested in this, and turned to ask Gao Sijin: "Does uncle play with mom and the others?"
"Your uncle can't." Li's mother said with a smile: "Don't look at your uncle now, he was very old when he was young, and he didn't like to laugh at all. He was younger than us, but he never liked to play with us , every time I sit there and read a book, and let me take him home after we finish playing."
Gao Sijin had a faint smile on his face, as if he was not interested in this topic. When he glanced over the crowd, he suddenly stopped and reminded Li Huaicheng, "Is that your friend over there? He seems to be in a little trouble now. .”
Li Huaicheng turned his head to look, frowned when he saw the scene over there, talked to Li's mother and the three and passed.
As soon as he approached, Li Huaicheng saw a young man with a haughty expression and said to Cheng Xin: "Not everyone can come in here. I'm afraid it took a lot of thought to be able to sneak in with your identity, but let me tell you..."
"What did you tell him?" Li Huaicheng approached slowly and asked with a smile on his face.
"Li Ershao." The young man saw Li Huaicheng's eyes lit up, and Cheng Xin, who didn't even look away, said with a smile on his face: "I've been wanting to talk to you today, but there are always people around you. Someone, some time ago I heard that you are interested in skiing, and there is a ski resort in my family that I want to invite you to play with, I wonder if it is an honor?"
Li Huaicheng frowned at this man's arrogant attitude. He turned his attention to Cheng Xin without answering his question, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I left you here alone, are you okay?"
Cheng Xin smiled wryly and shook his head, with the blush on his cheeks from being ridiculed in public, "I'm fine."
The young man didn't expect Cheng Xin to know Li Huaicheng, and he seemed to have a good relationship with him. His smiling face froze, and his voice lowered a lot: "I don't know what relationship Li Ershao has with this person?"
The smile on Li Huaicheng's face was restrained, and he looked at him and said lightly: "I also want to ask what is your relationship with him, and what identity does 'your identity' refer to?"
The young man's complexion changed, he looked at Cheng Xin who was standing aside with downcast eyes, his face quickly returned to a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Cheng Xin and I are acquaintances, it was just a joke, I didn't expect But Li Ershao saw it, sorry for disturbing your birthday party."
Li Huaicheng raised his eyebrows. When he heard this young man speak just now, he thought he was an arrogant dude, but now he seems to know how to advance and retreat. Even so, he deliberately embarrassed Cheng Xin at today's banquet. Li Huaicheng's eyes swept across Focusing on Cheng Xin standing aside, it seems that the relationship between this young man and Cheng Xin is not simple.
"He's right." Cheng Xin looked up at Li Huaicheng and smiled, with embarrassment that could not be concealed because of lying on Junxiu's face: "I have some conflicts with him, he said that because he was angry, it's actually nothing wrong .”
Li Huaicheng saw that Cheng Xin was unwilling to say more and no longer asked any more. He looked at the young man who expected Cheng Xin to say that, and did not even change his expression. Li Huaicheng brought Cheng Xin in front of Zhou Ziyou and the others, "I There are a lot of things today, please help me take care of Cheng Xin."
Zhou Ziyou recognized Cheng Xin as the owner of the restaurant where they had dinner once, and asked curiously, "When I saw the movement over there, I thought you looked familiar, but I didn't expect it was really you? What happened?"
He Dong patted Zhou Ziyou's head: "If I ask you to take care of it, you will take care of it. There are so many words."
Cheng Xin smiled shyly, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyou didn't ask any more questions. Although he was very curious, he didn't know how to look at his face. When he saw someone calling Li Huaicheng to come over, Zhou Ziyou and his brother took Cheng Xin's shoulders and patted their chests to reassure Li Huaicheng. Said: "Don't worry, we are covering him."
Li Huaicheng nodded, and left with the people who came. While greeting the guests, he was distracted by Cheng Xin's affairs.
In his previous life, Cheng Xin didn't like to mention his family's affairs very much. Apart from knowing that Cheng Xin's mother died in a car accident when he was very young, Cheng Xin never mentioned other things. Xin also obviously didn't want to say more, Li Huaicheng was thoughtful.
In his memory, Cheng Xin answered a phone call before he got into a car accident in his last life. He happened to have something to do and didn't hear what Cheng Xin said. After leaving the hotel, not long after he left, he died unexpectedly.
In this life, Li Huaicheng has been trying to avoid Cheng Xin's death. Before today, he always thought that Cheng Xin's car accident was just an accident. Car accidents may not be as simple as they seem.
However, apart from the phone call and the date of that day, there are almost no other clues in the information he has. Even if he suspects that Cheng Xin did not die in an accident, it is just an intuition. It seems that this life wants to stop Cheng Xin. Death was not as easy as he had thought.
"Brother cut the cake!"
Li Huaijin and Li Huaixin came pushing several layers of big cakes. The lights in the banquet hall gradually dimmed. The guests sang the birthday song along with the music. .
The dinner party at Li's house was brightly lit, but Jiang Huaikang's current residence in a small residential area on the outskirts of Qing City was dark.
He was standing by the window, the room was not turned on, and the neon billboards on the streets in the suburbs were not like the city. There were only a few sporadic windows showing light, and more of it was the moonlight, which made the bedroom look even darker.
The moonlight fell on Jiang Huaikang's face, making his thin face gloomy and desolate. He looked out of the window and murmured in a low voice: "There is a banquet over there now. I have been looking forward to it for so long, but now I have nothing to do with it." It's related, that's right, how could the second young master of the Li family's birthday have something to do with a counterfeit hahahahahaha..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Huaikang suddenly laughed out louder and louder, and tears rolled down his eyes. He thought of every birthday before the age of 14, the family gathered in the warm living room, and piles of flowers were placed on the table. Gao’s gift was a birthday cake with candles. His mother smiled and asked him to make a wish, and his father and brother also smiled, wishing him good health and happiness.
However, he has not celebrated his birthday for five years.Every year on this day, the Li family is still full of joy and laughter as always, but the person celebrating has changed from a counterfeit to the real blood of the Li family.
Looking at the light from the opposite building, Jiang Huaikang saw a family of three sitting in the living room watching TV with the curtains not drawn. The loneliness and loneliness almost overwhelmed him.
Those things were originally his, the love of his parents, the protection of his elder brother, the dependence of his younger sister... Everything that Li Huaicheng has now should belong to him.
The second young master of the Li family, who was destined to stand at the top of the pyramid since he was born, also belongs to him. He has carried this identity for 14 years, and this identity has already been integrated into his blood, so he always thought that even if Li Huaicheng came back There is no way to shake his position.
He took it for granted that he was the one who grew up with his parents, he was the one who received preferential treatment in school, and he was the one who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He has never been left behind in the few circles he should be in contact with, so these are his things.
But the reality tells him that even if he has held this identity for more than ten years, these things do not belong to him, but only belong to the real blood of Li Zhiming and Gao Si'an, so as long as he is deprived of this identity, everything he has been familiar with for more than ten years will be destroyed. Naturally, it was stripped from his body.
Whether it's identity or the family relationship he thought, it's just a blood connection that can strip away everything he owns and cherishes.
The sound insulation effect in the old-fashioned residential area is not good. There is an unpleasant noise of dragging stools and chairs upstairs, followed by laughter and laughter. There are children calling their mother with childish laughter, and there are men and women. The mixed voice coaxed the child, and everything made him stand alone.
On this day when he should have been happy, Jiang Huaikang clearly realized for the first time that he could never go back. Whether it was family affection or money status, everything that belonged to him before had disappeared.
The phone rang suddenly in the quiet room. Jiang Huaikang turned his head to look at the phone on the bed and then looked back. Now he doesn't want to talk to anyone.
However, the ringtone of the mobile phone was relentless, disturbing Jiang Huaikang to grab the mobile phone and want to throw it on the ground. However, seeing the string of irregular numbers, his face was slightly gloomy, and he answered: "Here It's Jiang Huaikang."
There was a man's voice over there, rough and dry, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to, but Jiang Huaikang smiled on his face, because the man said to him: "Happy birthday."
"Thank you." Jiang Huaikang asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's nothing serious, I'm just a little worried about you. After all, today is your adult birthday. You stay alone in the old and old small house, but Li Huaicheng is surrounded by everyone and holds a birthday party in Li's house. sad."
The smile on Jiang Huaikang's face faded a little bit, and said: "Of course I'm sad, those should be mine."
"Yes, you're right." The person over there laughed softly: "These should belong to you, Li Huaicheng, no, Jiang Yuan shouldn't appear here out of nowhere, but since he has appeared There is no way to make up for many things, but apart from those, there are still some things that should belong to you, so you naturally have to hold on tightly."
Jiang Huaikang nodded, he knew what this person was talking about, and he thought the same way: "Of course, I have stayed in Li's family for so many years, they didn't notice that their son was swapped, which caused me to be separated from my biological parents for so long, Now even if I go back, I can't make up for my loss, so naturally I should be compensated."
"You're right." The man's voice seemed to be encouraging, and said: "These should be yours. It doesn't matter if you don't have you at the birthday party. It doesn't matter if no one in the Li family remembers that today is also your birthday. It should belong to you, and you must take it back."
It doesn't matter if there is no one at the birthday party, and it doesn't matter if no one in the Li family remembers that today is also his birthday...
Jiang Huaikang repeated this sentence in his mind, looked out the window and murmured: "I will definitely take it back."
……
The day after Li Huaicheng's birthday, Zhang Da, the gardener's son, found him—he died in the back hill of Li's old house. The date of death was preliminarily confirmed to be during Li Huaicheng's birthday party, around [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.
The death of Zhang Da not only broke the clues of the Li family's investigation again, but also made Li Zhiming very angry.Zhang Da committed suicide, but the place he chose to die was the back mountain of Li's house, and the time was still on Li Huaicheng's birthday, so he didn't need to guess to know his sinister intentions.
Compared with the anger of the rest of the Li family, Li Huaicheng himself doesn't care, but as far as he knows, even in the back mountain, the Li family will have security teams patrolling it for safety, and yesterday's birthday party patrol was even more rigorous. How did that person get up there without anyone noticing.
"Don't be afraid." Li Huaijin sat beside Li Huaicheng, saw him drooping his eyes and said nothing, thought he was frightened, and comforted him softly: "We will definitely find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible."
The person who murdered Li Huaixin committed suicide on the day of Li Huaicheng's birthday. Before that, the Li family suspected that Li Huaixin fell into the water and Li Huaicheng was dropped by the same person. This time, Zhang Da's death confirmed the Li family's guess.
Zhang Da is just the son of an old gardener in the Li family. The old gardener had no conflicts with anyone in the Li family when he was in the Li family. The salary given by the Li family has always been at the top level in the industry. Later, the old gardener left the Li family. When Hou fell ill, the Li family also provided a lot of help, so there was no enmity between the two parties in terms of money or feelings, and what must be said, the Li family was even kind to Zhang Da's family.
So why Zhang Da did this is almost a question that everyone in the Li family can't figure out.
Looking at the dignified Li family sitting in the living room, Uncle Fang also looked a little serious. He thought for a while and said, "I remember that Zhang Da often came to Li's house to play when he was a child, although when he met Master Zhiming and Miss Si'an, She will be a little shy, but she has never had any conflicts with the young master and young lady, and it is even more impossible to vent the conflict on the young master and young lady, so there may be other reasons that we don't know about."
The matter of Zhang Da's death cannot be concealed, and Li's family cannot collect his body without authorization, so they can only contact the police to operate. Naturally, Fang Bo can't hide it, and Li's father had sent someone to watch him as early as the night before. He's really involved, and it's even better if he can show his feet.
But so far he has nothing unusual, even when he learned that Zhang Da committed suicide, he was more surprised than them, because he had more contact with the original gardener and Zhang Da as a housekeeper than the Li family.
"I've thought about this too." Li Huaicheng narrowed his eyes to cover the look of inquiry in his eyes, and said, "Besides, the fact that I was born has nothing to do with him, and my mother was not in Qingshi when she gave birth to me. I think he should have joined it later, the real murderer behind the scenes must know the Li family very well, at least as much as Grandpa Fang."
Li Huaicheng raised his eyes slowly when he spoke, and after seeing Fang Bo's pensive expression, he was thoughtful. Although he had no motive, Fang Bo is indeed the biggest suspect now, just looking at his puzzled expression does not seem to be fake.
If it wasn't for him, then the person behind the scenes might be the object of his initial suspicion - Fang Rui.
Although Jiang Siyuan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, he also knew that Li Huaicheng would not open it if he didn’t read it, so even the loss was only for a moment, and Zhou Ziyou’s words quickly shifted his focus. Zhou Ziyou looked at Li Huaicheng’s hairstyle Said: "Your hairstyle today is super MAN, very cool, which hair stylist did it, I will do it another day."
He Dong sneered: "What you like is that it looks taller when it's puffed up."
"get out!"
Zhou Ziyou, who was poked at the center, became angry from embarrassment, and kicked towards He Dong, who dodged without haste, with a very public smile on his face.
Jiang Siyuan smiled and said, "Your hairstyle is very handsome today."
Li Huaicheng: "Thank you."
He Dong and Zhou Ziyou chased and ran to the other side, Jiang Siyuan suppressed the smile on his face and asked, "Did you catch the person you mentioned yesterday?"
Yesterday because of Li Huaixin's incident, Li Huaicheng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, so he simply called Jiang Siyuan, because Jiang Siyuan was there when Li Huaixin fell into the water, so when he told him what happened, Jiang Siyuan Soon as a bystander, he gave his own advice.

Li Huaicheng pursed his lips, looked at his mother who suddenly fell down for some reason, nodded and said, "I see, uncle."
"Why are you all here?" Without saying a word, Fang Rui walked over with a smile, and said to Li Zhiming: "Uncle Li is looking for you, it seems that there is something he wants to tell you."
Li Zhiming nodded, whispered to his wife, then turned and left.

"Your uncle can't." Li's mother said with a smile: "Don't look at your uncle now, he was very old when he was young, and he didn't like to laugh at all.

Li Huaicheng frowned at this man's arrogant attitude. He turned his attention to Cheng Xin without answering his question, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I left you here alone, are you okay?"
Cheng Xin smiled wryly and shook his head, with the blush on his cheeks from being ridiculed in public, "I'm fine."

Li Huaicheng raised his eyebrows. When he heard this young man speak just now, he thought he was an arrogant dude, but now he seems to know how to advance and retreat. Even so, he deliberately embarrassed Cheng Xin at today's banquet. Li Huaicheng's eyes swept across Focusing on Cheng Xin standing aside, it seems that the relationship between this young man and Cheng Xin is not simple.
"He's right." Cheng Xin looked up at Li Huaicheng and smiled, with embarrassment that could not be concealed because of lying on Junxiu's face: "I have some conflicts with him, he said that because he was angry, it's actually nothing wrong .”
Li Huaicheng saw that Cheng Xin was unwilling to say more and no longer asked any more. He looked at the young man who expected Cheng Xin to say that, and did not even change his expression. Li Huaicheng brought Cheng Xin in front of Zhou Ziyou and the others, "I There are a lot of things today, please help me take care of Cheng Xin."
Zhou Ziyou recognized Cheng Xin as the owner of the restaurant where they had dinner once, and asked curiously, "When I saw the movement over there, I thought you looked familiar, but I didn't expect it was really you? What happened?"
He Dong patted Zhou Ziyou's head: "If I ask you to take care of it, you will take care of it. There are so many words."
Cheng Xin smiled shyly, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyou didn't ask any more questions. Although he was very curious, he didn't know how to look at his face. When he saw someone calling Li Huaicheng to come over, Zhou Ziyou and his brother took Cheng Xin's shoulders and patted their chests to reassure Li Huaicheng. Said: "Don't worry, we are covering him."
Li Huaicheng nodded, and left with the people who came. While greeting the guests, he was distracted by Cheng Xin's affairs.
In his previous life, Cheng Xin didn't like to mention his family's affairs very much. Apart from knowing that Cheng Xin's mother died in a car accident when he was very young, Cheng Xin never mentioned other things. Xin also obviously didn't want to say more, Li Huaicheng was thoughtful.
In his memory, Cheng Xin answered a phone call before he got into a car accident in his last life. He happened to have something to do and didn't hear what Cheng Xin said. After leaving the hotel, not long after he left, he died unexpectedly.
In this life, Li Huaicheng has been trying to avoid Cheng Xin's death. Before today, he always thought that Cheng Xin's car accident was just an accident. Car accidents may not be as simple as they seem.
However, apart from the phone call and the date of that day, there are almost no other clues in the information he has. Even if he suspects that Cheng Xin did not die in an accident, it is just an intuition. It seems that this life wants to stop Cheng Xin. Death was not as easy as he had thought.
"Brother cut the cake!"
Li Huaijin and Li Huaixin came pushing several layers of big cakes. The lights in the banquet hall gradually dimmed. The guests sang the birthday song along with the music. .
The dinner party at Li's house was brightly lit, but Jiang Huaikang's current residence in a small residential area on the outskirts of Qing City was dark.
He was standing by the window, the room was not turned on, and the neon billboards on the streets in the suburbs were not like the city. There were only a few sporadic windows showing light, and more of it was the moonlight, which made the bedroom look even darker.
The moonlight fell on Jiang Huaikang's face, making his thin face gloomy and desolate. He looked out of the window and murmured in a low voice: "There is a banquet over there now. I have been looking forward to it for so long, but now I have nothing to do with it." It's related, that's right, how could the second young master of the Li family's birthday have something to do with a counterfeit hahahahahaha..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Huaikang suddenly laughed out louder and louder, and tears rolled down his eyes. He thought of every birthday before the age of 14, the family gathered in the warm living room, and piles of flowers were placed on the table. Gao’s gift was a birthday cake with candles. His mother smiled and asked him to make a wish, and his father and brother also smiled, wishing him good health and happiness.
However, he has not celebrated his birthday for five years.Every year on this day, the Li family is still full of joy and laughter as always, but the person celebrating has changed from a counterfeit to the real blood of the Li family.
Looking at the light from the opposite building, Jiang Huaikang saw a family of three sitting in the living room watching TV with the curtains not drawn. The loneliness and loneliness almost overwhelmed him.
Those things were originally his, the love of his parents, the protection of his elder brother, the dependence of his younger sister... Everything that Li Huaicheng has now should belong to him.
The second young master of the Li family, who was destined to stand at the top of the pyramid since he was born, also belongs to him. He has carried this identity for 14 years, and this identity has already been integrated into his blood, so he always thought that even if Li Huaicheng came back There is no way to shake his position.
He took it for granted that he was the one who grew up with his parents, he was the one who received preferential treatment in school, and he was the one who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He has never been left behind in the few circles he should be in contact with, so these are his things.
But the reality tells him that even if he has held this identity for more than ten years, these things do not belong to him, but only belong to the real blood of Li Zhiming and Gao Si'an, so as long as he is deprived of this identity, everything he has been familiar with for more than ten years will be destroyed. Naturally, it was stripped from his body.
Whether it's identity or the family relationship he thought, it's just a blood connection that can strip away everything he owns and cherishes.
The sound insulation effect in the old-fashioned residential area is not good. There is an unpleasant noise of dragging stools and chairs upstairs, followed by laughter and laughter. There are children calling their mother with childish laughter, and there are men and women. The mixed voice coaxed the child, and everything made him stand alone.
On this day when he should have been happy, Jiang Huaikang clearly realized for the first time that he could never go back. Whether it was family affection or money status, everything that belonged to him before had disappeared.
The phone rang suddenly in the quiet room. Jiang Huaikang turned his head to look at the phone on the bed and then looked back. Now he doesn't want to talk to anyone.
However, the ringtone of the mobile phone was relentless, disturbing Jiang Huaikang to grab the mobile phone and want to throw it on the ground. However, seeing the string of irregular numbers, his face was slightly gloomy, and he answered: "Here It's Jiang Huaikang."
There was a man's voice over there, rough and dry, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to, but Jiang Huaikang smiled on his face, because the man said to him: "Happy birthday."
"Thank you." Jiang Huaikang asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's nothing serious, I'm just a little worried about you. After all, today is your adult birthday. You stay alone in the old and old small house, but Li Huaicheng is surrounded by everyone and holds a birthday party in Li's house. sad."
The smile on Jiang Huaikang's face faded a little bit, and said: "Of course I'm sad, those should be mine."
"Yes, you're right." The person over there laughed softly: "These should belong to you, Li Huaicheng, no, Jiang Yuan shouldn't appear here out of nowhere, but since he has appeared There is no way to make up for many things, but apart from those, there are still some things that should belong to you, so you naturally have to hold on tightly."
Jiang Huaikang nodded, he knew what this person was talking about, and he thought the same way: "Of course, I have stayed in Li's family for so many years, they didn't notice that their son was swapped, which caused me to be separated from my biological parents for so long, Now even if I go back, I can't make up for my loss, so naturally I should be compensated."
"You're right." The man's voice seemed to be encouraging, and said: "These should be yours. It doesn't matter if you don't have you at the birthday party. It doesn't matter if no one in the Li family remembers that today is also your birthday. It should belong to you, and you must take it back."
It doesn't matter if there is no one at the birthday party, and it doesn't matter if no one in the Li family remembers that today is also his birthday...
Jiang Huaikang repeated this sentence in his mind, looked out the window and murmured: "I will definitely take it back."
……
The day after Li Huaicheng's birthday, Zhang Da, the gardener's son, found him—he died in the back hill of Li's old house. The date of death was preliminarily confirmed to be during Li Huaicheng's birthday party, around [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.
The death of Zhang Da not only broke the clues of the Li family's investigation again, but also made Li Zhiming very angry.Zhang Da committed suicide, but the place he chose to die was the back mountain of Li's house, and the time was still on Li Huaicheng's birthday, so he didn't need to guess to know his sinister intentions.
Compared with the anger of the rest of the Li family, Li Huaicheng himself doesn't care, but as far as he knows, even in the back mountain, the Li family will have security teams patrolling it for safety, and yesterday's birthday party patrol was even more rigorous. How did that person get up there without anyone noticing.
"Don't be afraid." Li Huaijin sat beside Li Huaicheng, saw him drooping his eyes and said nothing, thought he was frightened, and comforted him softly: "We will definitely find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible."
The person who murdered Li Huaixin committed suicide on the day of Li Huaicheng's birthday. Before that, the Li family suspected that Li Huaixin fell into the water and Li Huaicheng was dropped by the same person. This time, Zhang Da's death confirmed the Li family's guess.
Zhang Da is just the son of an old gardener in the Li family. The old gardener had no conflicts with anyone in the Li family when he was in the Li family. The salary given by the Li family has always been at the top level in the industry. Later, the old gardener left the Li family. When Hou fell ill, the Li family also provided a lot of help, so there was no enmity between the two parties in terms of money or feelings, and what must be said, the Li family was even kind to Zhang Da's family.
So why Zhang Da did this is almost a question that everyone in the Li family can't figure out.
Looking at the dignified Li family sitting in the living room, Uncle Fang also looked a little serious. He thought for a while and said, "I remember that Zhang Da often came to Li's house to play when he was a child, although when he met Master Zhiming and Miss Si'an, She will be a little shy, but she has never had any conflicts with the young master and young lady, and it is even more impossible to vent the conflict on the young master and young lady, so there may be other reasons that we don't know about."
The matter of Zhang Da's death cannot be concealed, and Li's family cannot collect his body without authorization, so they can only contact the police to operate. Naturally, Fang Bo can't hide it, and Li's father had sent someone to watch him as early as the night before. He's really involved, and it's even better if he can show his feet.
But so far he has nothing unusual, even when he learned that Zhang Da committed suicide, he was more surprised than them, because he had more contact with the original gardener and Zhang Da as a housekeeper than the Li family.
"I've thought about this too." Li Huaicheng narrowed his eyes to cover the look of inquiry in his eyes, and said, "Besides, the fact that I was born has nothing to do with him, and my mother was not in Qingshi when she gave birth to me. I think he should have joined it later, the real murderer behind the scenes must know the Li family very well, at least as much as Grandpa Fang."
Li Huaicheng raised his eyes slowly when he spoke, and after seeing Fang Bo's pensive expression, he was thoughtful. Although he had no motive, Fang Bo is indeed the biggest suspect now, just looking at his puzzled expression does not seem to be fake.
If it wasn't for him, then the person behind the scenes might be the object of his initial suspicion - Fang Rui.
