Chapter 128 He escaped again!
Looking back at the study in the manor, assistant Li You teleported to appear next to Hei Huomian.
When Hei Huomian heard the other party's concise first report, he immediately ordered the twelve secret guards to secretly protect Bai Shuiru, and then signaled Li You to continue reporting:
“The preliminary findings are:
Liao Minrou did die, as Min Ying said, from having her throat cut by a toothbrush handle sharpened into a blade, but the photos in the sealed archives show that her expression before death was indeed very strange. "Li You handed the tablet to his boss, "Her eyes, which were opened as wide as she could, were filled with creepy fear. It can also be said that she was forced to commit suicide because of fear."
"She even kept her right hand holding the toothbrush until her death."
"Also, during my investigation, I met a forensic assistant who claimed to have the ability to see ghosts and spirits. She claimed that when she followed the forensic doctor to the crime scene, she briefly saw a thin black and purple light wrapped around Liao Minrou's neck and limbs."
Hearing this, Hei Huomian tilted his head and looked at the assistant.
Li You nodded in response and flipped the tablet again, "When I was about to leave, the forensic assistant secretly showed me another autopsy report."
Hei Huomian thought for a moment, frowned, and continued in a tone that he did not want to admit:
"Could it be that Xu Yanlai is also dead?"
As the King of Hell, the increase in the number of people in the underworld is beneficial to the KPI of his position and the development of his life, but the successive deaths are all related to his little girl, which has to attract his attention.
Li You nodded and raised his hand to signal Hei Huomian to check the tablet:
Sure enough, the cause of death of Xu Yanlai and Liao Minrou was exactly the same, and the estimated time of death was almost the same.
Hei Huomian handed the tablet back to Li You and said silently:
"It seems that Liao Minrou exchanged her own daughter for Xu Yanlai not only to avenge Zhong Xichu, but was instructed by 'them'. It is even possible that 'Bai Shuiru's' rough life was designed by them."
"What's the purpose?" Li You frowned in confusion.
"...I'm afraid it has something to do with me." Hei Huomian responded, while activating the Hellfire Order:
"All secret guards will be on guard by her side 24 hours a day to ensure her safety. If there is any mistake, you will never expect to be reincarnated after completing the contract."
Li You immediately stood up respectfully and took two steps back. After paying his respects, he hurried on to continue his investigation.

Time is like a windmill in the hands of a child. When air is blown into the windmill, it turns quickly and three days pass.
In a certain cemetery, Bai Shuiru visited the graves of Bai Yangxuan, Liao Minrou, and Xu Yan in turn, and finally stood in front of Zhong Xichu's grave, his eyes fixed on the other's photo, and silently confided:
Mr. Zhong, although I have no relationship with your...daughter, I would like to thank you on her behalf for raising her for twenty-two years.
I will try my best to live well for her.
Bai Shuiru bowed three times respectfully towards Zhong Xichu's tombstone, then turned around and hurried down the mountain, as if he was afraid of being caught up by something.
Bai Shuiru, don't let Mr. Zhong see it!
Don't let him see that Baishuiru you are actually... you are actually...
Suddenly, Bai Shuiru felt someone holding her slender and strong arm. She shrank back and stood still, with a stiff neck and not daring to look back.
Very confused!
"Shui Ru."
The familiar call, with its worry and concern, gently but powerfully lifted the fog from the little girl's eyes.
Bai Shuiru took a long breath and slowly turned around, looking up at the person who came.
Hei Huo Mian was standing on a higher step, gazing at him lovingly.
The little girl frowned slightly and tried to pull back her arm, the distance and confusion in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Hei Huomian's eyes dimmed slightly, he slowly loosened his hand, and responded cautiously:
"I, I called you twice just now, but you didn't answer me."
"Oh, sorry, I didn't hear it." Bai Shuiru pursed her lips apologetically, turned around and continued to walk down the stairs in a daze.
Hei Huomian hurriedly followed, staring at the figure walking down the mountain step by step.
Hei Huo Mian, why did you give birth to:
Are you afraid that the little brush will disappear before your eyes again if you just blink?
No, no.
Hei Huomian shook his head in denial and focused on following her down the mountain.
The two walked to the foot of the mountain, and the driver waiting beside them immediately opened the car door and invited Bai Shuiru to get in first.
Hei Huomian then bent down and walked into the car to fasten Bai Shuiru's seat belt, closed the back door on her side himself, locked his eyes on the door, and then got in the car from the other side.

"Miss Bai, is there anything I didn't explain clearly enough?"
"Miss Bai?"
Bai Shuiru came back to her senses and stared blankly at the middle-aged male lawyer sitting on the single sofa next to her, dressed like an elite in a suit and tie.
"Sorry... lawyer."
After Bai Shuiru finished sweeping the tombs, she returned to Sucong Manor with Hei Huomian, and saw a man who claimed to be Lawyer Zhong Xichu sitting in the living room waiting for her to come back.
"My last name is 'He'." The lawyer smiled politely and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.
Hei Huo Mian, who was sitting next to her, leaned towards her and asked in a gentle voice:
"Are you tired? Why don't we do it another day..."
"It's okay, no need." Bai Shuiru shook his head at Hei Huomian, then looked at Lawyer He, "Sorry, I'm a visual person, can I watch and listen to you at the same time?"
"Of course." Lawyer He waited for Bai Shuiru to pick up the will document and slowly read it before he deliberately slowed down his speech and explained:
"According to the will revised by Mr. Zhong Xichu half a month ago..."
"Half a month ago?" Bai Shuiru looked at Lawyer He in surprise. After confirming from the other party's affirmative expression that he was not hallucinating, he returned his gaze to the documents.
That is, Mr. Zhong changed his will after I was kidnapped by Xu Yanlai?
Did he have a premonition at that time that he would...
"Mr. Zhong's 23% stake in Zhongding Grain and Agriculture, properties around the world including the luxury home where he has lived for a long time, Chunyue Xiaofeng, as well as his private collections and all the cash in his personal account will all belong to you, Miss Bai."
Bai Shuiru took a deep breath.
Even though the Zhong family is not as wealthy as the Hei family, this huge inheritance is something that ordinary people may not be able to achieve even if they work hard for several lifetimes.
Lawyer He paused and continued:
"I believe Miss Bai has just received the news from the Municipal Criminal Police Brigade about the sudden death of Ms. Liao Minrou in the detention center."
Bai Shuiru nodded in response.
Liao Minrou committed suicide by hanging in a strange way, and the expression frozen on her face was extremely strange.
Bai Shuiru recalled that when Min Ying came to Sucong Manor personally to tell him the news, his expression and tone were full of undisguised suspicion.
It was just that the higher-ups thought that there was nothing suspicious about the evidence; perhaps the relatives of the Liao and Zhong families thought that family disgrace should not be made public, so they secretly put pressure on them, so the detachment finally closed the case with the conclusion that "Liao Minrou committed suicide."
At that time, Min Ying was indignant and vowed to investigate the cause of death thoroughly.
"Because of Ms. Liao's behavior during her lifetime," Lawyer He opened another document and handed it to Bai Shuiru, "all her jewelry, cash, personal collections, fixed assets, 19% of the shares of Liao Media Group, and the 6% of Zhongding Grain and Agriculture shares given to her by Mr. Zhong when she got married will also all belong to Ms. Bai."
"Also, Mr. Hei has entrusted me to handle the inheritance procedures for all the property under Xu Yanlai's name." Lawyer He pushed another document in front of Bai Shuiru, then put the pen in front of her and subconsciously looked at the gold watch on his wrist. "After you have read it and found no problem, please sign so that I can help you complete all the relevant procedures."
Bai Shuiru looked at the will in front of him and sneered at himself in his heart.
Three servings came right away.
Everything just fell into the hands of me, a person who had nothing to do with them at all.
"Shui Ru?"
Hei Huomian gently touched Bai Shuiru's elbow and reminded her in a gentle voice:
"Mr. He probably has other clients who need his advice."
"Sorry." Bai Shuiru nodded to Lawyer He, tremblingly picked up the pen and quickly signed the three documents. He quickly put the pen down and announced with a smile:
"Okay, I don't have anything to do now. Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer He."
"Then I'll go fishing." She waved to Hei Huomian and ran briskly towards the warehouse, her eyes quickly filled with confusion.
After Hei Huomian went upstairs to the study to handle the official business of the Minghuo Group for a while, Uncle Nan knocked on the door and invited him downstairs for dinner.
Hei Huomian glanced at his parents and younger brother sitting around the dining table, as well as Bai Shuiru's empty seat, and finally asked Uncle Nan who was waiting nearby.
"Miss Bai responded to my dinner inquiry two and a half hours ago. She said she wanted to go fishing and bring back grilled fish."
Hei Zhan Ze looked at his watch, then met Hei Huo Mian's eyes, "Three hours ago, I went fishing and ran into Shui Ru. I chatted with her for more than ten minutes before I came back. She said she wanted to be alone for a while."
Hei Huomian then contacted the twelve secret guards, but none of them responded to him.
Bai Shuiru apparently used the same trick she used to escape from the two secret guards last time:
Use the ability of driving floating to the limit and stun the dark guard.
However, this time he had to deal with twelve secret guards at the same time.
Hei Huomian gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly:
Damn, this little liar escaped again!
Bai Shuiru, do you really not want to stay by my side? !
