Chapter 335 Confrontation and Game
Chapter 335 Confrontation and Game
A good night's sleep.
Shen Lanxi was woken up by a phone call.
"Master, no...something bad has happened! Someone broke into the hotel last night...and...killed someone!" Gao Zhi was still drunk and spoke incoherently.
Shen Lanxi was stunned for a moment, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she covered her forehead with her hands, her expression cold. "Besides me, who else did you contact yesterday?"
Gao Zhi was anxious. "Master, you're not doubting me, are you? Lei Xing and I both got drunk last night...Lei Xing?"
The man on the other end of the phone paused and said, "Lei Xing called me yesterday afternoon, but I didn't say anything."
Shen Lanxi, "This is Nanwan. If you don't say anything, they won't be able to find out?"
Gao Zhi immediately understood what was going on and was furious. "Good for you, Lei Xing! You're setting a trap for me with your honest face. No wonder you kept trying to get me to drink yesterday. This was clearly a premeditated plan."
Shen Lanxi turned over and got out of bed. "How's the hotel situation?"
"Our people discovered it in time. They only killed the victim, but the body is still in our hands."
Ten minutes later, Shen Lanxi came out of the bedroom neatly dressed and paused when passing the living room.
Shen Guiling was sitting in the living room playing chess in a black shirt. Noticing Shen Lanxi's gaze, he raised his eyes and smiled without hesitation, "Brother Lanxi, are you going out so early?"
Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and walked into the living room. He first glanced at Shen Guiling, and then his eyes fell on the chess board.
This game of chess was planned by him and Shen Guiling in the middle stage.
Shen Lanxi could tell at a glance that Shen Guiling was recreating yesterday's game of chess.
According to yesterday's chess moves, the red chess piece should be on the horse. Just as Shen Guiling's fingertips pressed towards the red horse, Shen Lanxi leaned over and took the lead in moving the cannon to checkmate.
Shen Guiling raised her eyes and met his gaze, "Brother Lan Xi, good chess."
Shen Lanxi, "The wine last night was good." After saying that, she turned and left the living room.
After a while, the sound of the door locking was heard.
Shen Guiling was not affected at all, staring at the chess game in front of him, "It's just a trick."
Just then, the phone on the coffee table vibrated.
Shen Guiling took a quick look, stood up and walked towards the balcony.
"dad."
Shen Qian's voice was particularly gloomy, "Where's Lan Xi?"
Shen Guiling, "He just went out, he should have received the news."
Shen Qian, "I didn't expect Lan Xi to be able to investigate this far. You really can't underestimate him at all. This time, thanks to your vigilance, otherwise it would be a big trouble if he really found out."
Shen Guiling looked at the boats coming and going at the ferry, his eyes icy, "Brother Lan Xi just came over to test me, I'm worried that he already suspects me."
"So what if I suspect you? I need evidence in front of the old man. Don't worry, I've dealt with all the people. Even if he continues to investigate, he won't be able to prove anything."
"..."

Prince Hotel.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.
Shen Lanxi was sitting in a black leather chair with her eyes closed.
After a while, Gao Zhi came in from outside with Gray Eagle.
"Master, we found it."
Gao Zhi handed the stack of information in his hand to Shen Guiling.
Shen Lanxi opened her eyes, took the information and looked through it.
Gao Zhi explained, "This is shrapnel dug out from a dead body. We asked someone to examine it and confirmed that it is military supplies."
Shen Lanxi didn't react much. With Shen Qian's current status, he was not surprised at all that he reached out to the military. He just didn't know if his grandfather would be as calm as he was when he knew about it?
"Follow this line of inquiry."
"Yes."
Originally Gao Zhi was still regretting that he had fallen into Lei Xing's trap, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better.
Shen Lanxi had long known that Shen Qian was the murderer behind the scenes, but he had no evidence, so he set up a mystery since entering Nanwan.
He knew that Shen Guiling was scheming and suspicious, so he deliberately appeared in front of him in order to arouse Shen Guiling's vigilance.
Shen Guiling would never believe that he came to Nanwan just for nothing to do, he would definitely secretly investigate his whereabouts.
But if Shen Lanxi deliberately revealed his intentions, Shen Guiling would definitely become suspicious, so he allowed Gao Zhi to become a loophole, allowing Shen Guiling to mistakenly believe that it was the result of his own investigation.
In fact, Shen Lanxi never thought of prying open the mercenaries' mouths. His plan from the beginning was to lure the snake out of its hole. Originally, he had no evidence, but now because Shen Qian was eager to kill and silence him, he had a clue.
Gao Zhi turned around and prepared to retreat, but suddenly thought of something and gave Shen Lanxi a thumbs up, "Master, awesome!"
As expected, the rookie young master is only not good at love, but he is good at everything else.
Shen Lanxi was in a low mood, and for some reason the chess game she played when she left the house suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Ah Ling, you did a great job. When I left you alone in Nanwan, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle those old ministers. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Shen Guiling smiled and said, "Grandpa taught me well."
Shen Qian was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Wait until Ma Wen secures his position, then you can return to Jinggang Harbor to prepare for the exam. The Military and Political Academy awards extra military points to the top scorer every year. South Bay is too small for you to hone your skills."
"understood."
Shen Guiling hung up the phone and turned to look at the chessboard with pieces of chess arranged in disorder on the coffee table.
When he first entered Shen Garden, Shen Qian warned him that he was just a chess piece and should not try to compete with anyone. Even if he had the wisdom of a hundred dragons, he would have to squat in front of Shen Lanxi, because no one in the Shen family would expect an illegitimate son to be more respected than the legitimate grandson. But now Shen Qian has gradually forgotten his original intention.
Shen Guiling raised his eyelids and waved his hand to disrupt the chess game in front of him.
They didn't seem to understand who was the chess piece.
