Chapter 617

"Old Chi won't be back for a while, so drink some water first."

Niu Xiang didn't drink the water poured by Bai Junyao.

"I'm not here to look for Lao Chi. If I were to look for him, I would look for him at work. I'm here to look for you."

Bai Junyao pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Yes, please tell Comrade Zeng Li not to waste time on me. Although I'm not a good person, I'm not a threat to the country."

Bai Junyao stood up: "Why don't you tell her yourself? You've had dinner together, so you have her contact information, right?"

Bai Junyao received a text message on his phone. He looked down and saw it was from Zeng Li.

When he looked up again, he asked directly: "Who killed Niu Cheng?"

Niu Xiang looked out the window.

Nothing at all.

But my intuition is that someone is watching me.

He watched me day and night, and was only quiet for two days when Zeng Li was directing the exercise.

Niu Xiang asked softly, "Is this a text message from Comrade Zeng Li?"

Zhaocai told Zeng Li all the details.

Bai Junyao lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Niu Xiang: "From other friends."

Niu Xiang glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. Please pass this message to Comrade Zeng Li. I'm leaving first."

"No delivery."

Bai Junyao texted Zeng Li: "Do you still need me to pass this on?"

Zeng Li replied, “No need.”

Jinbao, who had been prepared long ago, passed by Niu Xiang.

He was sure that Niu Xiang looked at him, and he was also sure that he had no emotions and his facial expression did not change.

"Mom, this face won't work on Niu Xiang."

There was a long silence.

Zeng Li was puzzled. She closed her eyes and turned around in her office chair, asking Jin Bao, "What has Liang Zihui been doing recently?"

Jinbao came to the park that Niu Xiang often went to and sat down to experience it.

"Mom, he didn't do anything. He's very quiet."

"He mentioned it the night before yesterday. He wondered when Mom would auction off the remaining items. He was waiting, but he hadn't done anything to raise the money."

Zeng Li left work early and went to Chi Xilu's house to see what was so special about those antiques.

"Call Chi Xilu."

The center forward went to make a phone call.

Chi Xilu was closer and arrived first.

Zeng Li teased him the first time they met: "Nephew, why didn't you answer your dad's call? He called me instead."

Chi Xilu held Zeng Li's head as she walked in, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't call me nephew."

Zeng Li slapped his hand away: "You don't salute me when you see me? I'm still older than you even if I'm one year older."

Chi Xilu stared at Zeng Li for two seconds with dark eyes, then gave a standard military salute: "Major General Zeng."

"Good boy."

You shouldn't expect Zeng Li to say anything nice.

He turned his gaze away from Zeng Li and pointed at the things in the living room and said, "I checked these things on the first day I came back. There's no problem."

"I also had Artu check it out, and there was nothing wrong with it."

Zeng Li walked inside as she spoke.

Chi Xilu followed behind him: "There is another possibility. The senior officials from Country M specifically want something in here."

Without keeping anyone in suspense, he shared the news he had received with Zeng Li.

"I asked someone to find out. Sri Che has wanted the Qing Ding for a long time. He is one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Country M."

Zeng Li glanced back at Chi Xilu, then at Qing Ding in the room. "These are truly high-ranking officials. They have the final say on interpreting the Constitution and can make legally binding rulings on various legal cases. Furthermore, they serve for life and are not accountable to anyone, including the president. They have enormous power."

Zeng Li's gaze returned to Chi Xilu, and she asked tentatively, "Let's try putting it up for auction?"

Chi Xilu disagreed: "It's a bit risky."

Zeng Li continued to tempt him: "If he really wants the Qing Ding, we can arrange for Chen Jingshan to raise the price and see where his limit is. Where does the money come from? It's easy to trace the cash flow."

"Even if he gets it and takes it away overnight, or wants to ship it to Country U, I can get it back."

Chi Xilu didn't eat this cake and reminded Zeng Li: "Have you ever thought about another possibility?"

"He wants to destroy the Qing Ding."

Zeng Li leaned against the escalator and said, "This Qing Ding has been in his hands the entire time, and Sri Che has wanted it for a long time, so it's really possible."
