But Hua Chuyao was obviously very indifferent to this.

"Oh, intelligence officer."

The smile on Bai Xiaosheng's face and the movement of fanning him couldn't help but stagnate. Hua Chuyao's expressionless words made him feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain to the other party the difference between the intelligence officer and the Lord of Tianji Pavilion, but it was obvious that Hua Chuyao didn't care about these things. She just looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a suspicious look, as if she was very suspicious of the accuracy of his intelligence.

"Miss Hua, let's listen to what he said first?"

Ye Chen was a little helpless. Obviously, everything Hua Chuyao suffered made her feel inexplicable hostility towards everyone else. Moreover, the He family had cooperated with Hua Chuyao before, and coupled with the conflict between the Ge family and the He family, it was normal for Hua Chuyao to have some doubts.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Hua Chuyao glanced at him and didn't say anything again. It was obviously a pity.

Bai Xiaosheng wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his head, put away the folding fan in his hand, and barely recovered from his previous calmness.

"If you want to investigate this matter, it is not as difficult as you think. The Ge family was strong back then, and the only one who dared to stroke his tiger beard was the He family. At that time, the profits of shipping were huge. Although the Ge family did not intend to take it alone, the little profit left behind was probably not enough to fill the He family's appetite."

"At that time, Mr. Ge happened to hand him over to his eldest son. The He family would definitely not miss this opportunity. The Ge family's shipping scale is huge, so there must be many people escorting it, right?"

When Ge Changfei heard Bai Xiaosheng's words, his eyes lit up. He knew what Bai Xiaosheng meant.

Indeed, sea transportation is no better than others. On the vast sea, any accident may cause ships to be destroyed and people to die. In addition to the terrifying disasters of nature, there is another disaster that makes all sailors frightened - pirates.

Pirates are the same as robbers on land. This is a very ancient criminal industry. Pirates have existed since ships sailed. Especially after the sixteenth century when sailing, pirates have appeared in any commercially developed coastal areas.

The main feature of this criminal industry is that pirates are mostly not individual criminals, and often rob in the form of criminal groups.

There is almost no possibility of survival in ships after encountering pirates. Once they are targeted by pirates, men will find it difficult to survive, while women will most of them be robbed into pirate strongholds and be humiliated, which is also one of the reasons why pirates are notorious.

In addition to the particularity of Shanghai, once the ship is robbed, it is almost impossible to find a stronghold for pirates in the vast sea, so countries have almost zero tolerance for pirates.

But in fact, some large companies in various countries have agreements with pirates. Pirates on the route they often travel will receive a fee regularly, and this money is equivalent to protection fees. After paying this money, their ships will be unimpeded.

This is also a situation that pirates are happy to see. After all, they are fighting to the death for money. Most of the ships that encounter pirates will rise up and resist, so basically every time they rob, some people will be killed and injured.

Now that they can get something for nothing, they are naturally happy to see it.

Moreover, this will reduce their adverse effects in various countries. Now is a period of peace, and the navies of various countries are very idle and want to find opportunities to practice. To really attract the attention of the army, even if they can escape by chance, they will not dare to take action again for a long time.

Therefore, many pirates accepted this condition. Sometimes they even took money from people to eliminate disasters, provided protection for merchant ships in their waters, and blocked privateers who took advantage of their territory. However, the sea where the "Pingan" was sailing was exactly the route of the Ge family.

But because all the crew members were killed at that time, and the police had already determined that this was a sea looting incident, no one further investigated.

Now that Bai Xiaosheng mentioned this, Ge Changfei really felt something was wrong. With Hua Pingchuan's superb navigation skills, such a mistake was simply impossible. If he hadn't done it deliberately, then this matter would be worth pondering.

"Father, the sea area where the accident happened at that time was the He family's shipping route..."

Ge Wenhui also reacted and couldn't help but whisper.

"Um."

Ge Changfei nodded softly, lowered his eyes, looked at the information on the table, and the ancient Jing Wubo on his face made people unable to tell what he was thinking.

After a long time, Ge Changfei raised his head again to look at Bai Xiaosheng, with a hint of wisdom in his eyes:

"So you suspect that the people of the He family have colluded with He Jun and deviated from the route of the Ping An?"

"That's right, with the power of the Ge family at that time, He Jun, a small secretary, was fine to let him take some small profits. If he really wanted to control the cargo ship secretly, even if he had the courage and had no strength, there must be a stronger force behind him. In Donghang at that time, the only one who could hold on with the Ge family for a while was probably the only one who could hold on to the Ge family."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly:

"Of course, these are just my guesses, but if you think about these things, it should be easy for Mr. Ge to investigate clearly, right?"

Ge Changfei nodded without comment, a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes.

He has never seen any storms in his life. The entire Donghang wanted to kill him to be able to leave several streets. Ge Changfei was not surprised that the He family coveted his family business and wanted him to die. But if you use such despicable means, so many people died because of the incident and even killed people to silence him, Ge Changfei could not bear it.

"Wenhui, investigate this matter and start with the people in that sea area. No matter how much it costs, I just need to get the result."

"Understand father."

Ge Wenhui stood up to respond, then nodded to everyone, and hurried out of the door.

It seems that the old man is increasingly respecting his third son.

Ye Chen stood aside and saw all this.

This is true. The Ge family business is still too large. The reason why Mr. Ge can control it with one hand is because he built it himself and is more familiar with it. However, it is indeed difficult for him and his children to do this alone.

Now both Ge Wenyu and Ge Wenhui are highly valued. It seems that Mr. Ge is planning to take care of the family together.
