Xiao Family Courtyard.

Although it is sunny outside, the atmosphere is extremely depressing and dull in the quaint study room.

Xiao Dongping, the contemporary helmsman of the Xiao family, had a gloomy face and walked around silently with his hands on his back. More than a dozen men and women were standing or sitting around, and they didn't dare to show up.

A moment later, an old forensic doctor with half-bad hair hurried in, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on him.

"Professor Zhu, has the autopsy been found?" The head of the Xiao family stared and asked in a deep voice.

The old forensic doctor nodded and said, "Based on the identification results just obtained, Your Excellency Xiao Tong... seems to have lost his life in a very short time because of acute blood poisoning!"

"Acute blood poisoning?" The people in the study looked at each other, surprised by the answer.

A fashionable middle-aged woman questioned: "As far as I know, although the consequences of this disease are serious, it does not even have a chance to rescue her. Moreover, Xiao Tong, a child, has always been healthy, how could he suffer from this disease for no reason?"

Another man also said: "Yes, Xiao Tong won't get sick for no reason, and there is no sign in advance! Since something happened, there must be an unusual reason."

The old forensic doctor explained: "It's just that the symptoms look a bit similar. To be precise, we detected a special toxin with unknown components in the blood of Your Excellency Xiao Tong. It is precisely because the red blood cells lose their normal function and undergo abnormal large-scale division and proliferation, blocking the blood vessels of the brain, causing ischemia and death from brain tissue!"

Xiao Dongping's face changed and he said in a stern manner: "Toxin? That's someone who is going to assassinate Xiao Tong? Who did it?"

Forensic Dr. Zhu spread his hands and said helplessly: "The ingredients of this toxin are very strange and have nothing to do with any known organisms or chemicals. I have been in this industry for most of my life and have never seen such things!"

"The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that this thing cannot be spread through the air. It must be entered into the human body with the help of mediums such as food and beverages before it can take effect, otherwise it can be done through injection. And it seems to have a certain period of latent brewing."

Xiao Dongping's face was gloomy and he pondered for a moment without opening his mouth.

The sound of footsteps of high heels sounded outside, and Xiao Mengying rushed in like a gust of wind. Seeing that the main relatives in the room had arrived, she asked in a trembling voice: "Dad, what's going on? Xiao Tong... why did he suddenly..."

She learned the bad news in the morning and rushed back from the imperial capital.

Xiao Dongping looked at his daughter, his face slightly relaxed, and briefly repeated the forensic's analysis results.

"Can it be...he did it?" Xiao Mengying murmured.

She is just a younger brother, and compared with other cousins ​​in the family, the relationship is naturally closer. Moreover, she also hopes to help Xiao Tong win the qualification of the head of the family and be able to share the rights of the family's senior management, but now she has turned into a bubble.

Xiao Dongping looked at his daughter with a cold look for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "You all go out first, Mengying stay."

The head of the family was obviously extremely prestige, and everyone had no objection to his orders, and they stood up one after another to withdraw.

When the door of the study was closed, Xiao Dongping stared at her and asked slowly: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"I don't know either." Xiao Mengying said blankly.

"Don't know? Hum!"

Xiao Dongping sneered and suddenly said, "A few months ago, did you secretly instruct someone to attack the boy from the Wei family?"

"This..." Xiao Mengying wanted to deny it, but when she touched her father's cold gaze, she nodded guiltily.

"It's indeed a stupid thing you did!"

Xiao Dong held his breath and turned blue, pointing at her and scolded him hard: "I have reminded you to use your brain more when thinking about things, don't always think about taking advantage of your mistakes and playing tricks! You just don't listen. Now that you have caused such a big mess, how do you tell me to say hello..."

Xiao Mengying was scolded by her father and was pale. She bit her lips tightly and said nothing, tears rolling in her eyes.

Xiao Dongping does have reason to be angry. The upper-class circles have their own conventional rules of the game. No matter how many dirty conflicts there are in private, many families or forces must still adhere to the bottom line of principles and not be too out of line.

Such as assassination and framing, which are not available to the top, are the most taboos among the superiors. After all, if you are on the first day of the lunar calendar, others will also be on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. It’s just that you compare who has more money!

Once the normal rules of the game in the entire circle are destroyed and everyone is in danger, no one has to do anything else. They will raise a group of experts to fight each other and kill each other!

Therefore, unless there is a major conflict of interest that is critical or life-and-death, or is forced to a desperate situation, no one will easily take risks and risk the consequences of being rejected by the entire upper-level circle to use this method to deal with their enemies.

What's more, there are state organs above to watch. The Chinese government is extremely strong now and has extremely strong control over the domestic situation. No matter how big a family or force is, it is impossible for the capital to challenge the state machine.

Therefore, although the senior executives of the Xiao family were extremely angry and dissatisfied with an old opponent like the Wei family, they did not intend to use such a way to destroy the rules of the game and could only fight back within the scope permitted by the rules.

However, Xiao Mengying, who was very ambitious and talented, did not think so much. In order to make some achievements as soon as possible to prove himself to his elders, the two brothers and sisters came up with such a self-righteous and clever idea when they decided.

There is no need to say more about what happened later. The Wei family has enough evidence in their hands and has recently filed complaints to higher-level forces through certain channels. Therefore, it can be foreseeable that the Xiao family will not have a good life in the coming years.

Xiao Dongping cursed for a while before calming down. He grabbed the already cold teacup on the table, opened it and took a few sips, and said angrily: "You don't have to stay at home. Get out of the Americas immediately and live for a year or two. Come back when the wind passes!"

Xiao Mengying nodded honestly, thought about it and asked with a numbness: "Then... what should I do about my brother? The Wei family and the others are too ruthless, we..."

"The current situation is not good for us. No matter what kind of thoughts we have, we can only endure it at the moment!" Xiao Dongping gritted his teeth and said, "I will get this account back sooner or later!"

No matter how much they scold, the siblings are the head of the family, so Xiao Dongping cannot be on the outside.

It’s just that Xiao Tong’s death was too bizarre and he died in his own family. On the surface, it seems that there is no connection with the Wei family. Therefore, even if the Xiao family believes that it was done by the Wei family, they cannot provide any convincing evidence.

The Wei family has evidence but the Xiao family does not, which means that in front of the superiors in the circle, the Xiao family will become extremely passive. In order to calm down this matter, it is necessary to take considerable benefits to deal with them.

So no matter how dissatisfied she felt, Xiao Dongping could only endure the anger and wait until she found an opportunity to counterattack in the future.

...

"...Xiao Tong's funeral will be held in three days, and there are no abnormal actions by the senior executives of the Xiao family."

In the sports car, Wei Lingyun drove and said to the stunning girl beside him: "It's that Xiao Mengying, who heard that she was scolded by her father closed the door and scolded her. That night, she took a flight to America and didn't even plan to attend her brother's funeral."

Zhao Xinglan smiled indifferently and said, "The helmsman of the Xiao family looks very smart!"

Wei Lingyun pondered and said, "I think so too. Maybe he was afraid that something would happen to his daughter, so he sent her away so urgently and waited for the wind to pass before coming back."

Zhao Xinglan smiled but said nothing. Sure enough, the head of the Xiao family was still smart. Although he could not figure out the cause of his son's death, he made the most accurate decision at present based on his experienced and rich experience and intuition, thus temporarily saving his daughter's life.
