Ye Lai looked dullly at the remaining food on the table in front of him, holding a wine glass in his hand. He had a bitter smile on his face. He was completely drunk. He didn't know how much wine he drank tonight, nor did he know tomorrow. How to spend it.

L

There was a sound of water dripping from the kitchen, and the whole room was in a mess. The store would continue to open tomorrow, but Ye Lai knew very well that the candy store would not exist tomorrow.

"dad!"

squeak

The room door was pushed open.

"Jiaojiao!"

Ye Lai immediately recovered his smile and looked at the door with a smile at his cute and beautiful daughter Ye Jiao, who was wearing white pajamas.

Ye Jiao walked over cautiously, and Ye Lai hugged his daughter.

"Dad, I can't sleep!"

Ye Jiao looked at her father carefully, and Ye Lai snorted.

"It's okay, Jiaojiao, it's okay."

Ye Jiao climbed into her father's arms and leaned against him quietly, worry and fear in her young eyes.

Ye Lai patted his daughter's back gently, and after a while her daughter fell asleep in his arms. Ye Lai did not move, just stared at the messy kitchen quietly, which had not been cleaned for almost four or five days. .

His wife passed away from blight a few years ago. Until now, there is still no medical treatment that can cure blight. His daughter lost her mother when she was 3 years old. Ye Lai raised her daughter single-handedly.

In order to have a better future, Ye Lai worked hard, especially after the introduction of the citizen class, Ye Lai worked even harder. He is now the sales manager of the company's regional area and one of the company's small shareholders. The store now has two employees. Ye Lai only needs to take his daughter with him every day and go out to negotiate with some customers, which is much easier than before.

Ye Lai was extremely regretful at this moment. He should not have listened to his friends and distributed the magic candy. Now there is a problem with this candy.

And just tonight, that friend came over and talked with Ye Lai all night. The company wanted Ye Lai to resist everything. This was what the company boss McCullin meant. Ye Lai didn't know what to do.

But it was impossible not to agree. Ye Guang glanced at the daughter in his arms. He looked at everything in the distance with a solemn expression. No matter what, he would definitely go to jail, and his daughter would have no one to take care of her. The only relative he has is himself. If his daughter is sent to an orphanage, Ye Lai cannot imagine what her daughter's future will be like.

The company has made it very clear that it will help him take good care of his daughter, and will also give him some shares. An internal contract document has been shown to Ye, and Ye Lai also hesitated and finally signed it. People from the company Everything has been taken care of, and the people from the business department will come over tomorrow.

Ye Lai once thought about finding Jean, but in the end Ye Lai gave up such thoughts and ideas because he did do something he shouldn't have done. Even if he found Jean, the result would be the same. Ye Lai would definitely go to jail, at least Ten years or more.

Last year, when the economy fluctuated violently, the situation of the candy industry was not very good, because the candy industry relied on the grain industry, and the drastic changes in the grain industry caused losses to the entire group company. In order to stabilize the market, And holding market share, the company launched this magical candy, and Ye Lai won the right to sell this candy at that time.

Sure enough, this kind of magic candy with good taste quickly swept the market. However, the good times did not last long. After just a few months, this candy had problems because the raw material contained a new type of synthetic chemical substance. The effects of this substance on the human body are beginning to emerge, especially in children.

Later, Ye Lai learned that the company's internal claim that there would be no side effects was a lie. This substance was pushed directly onto the market before it was even put into practice, and Ye Lai could not absolve himself of the blame.

Someone must bear the consequences of this matter, not the company, but the instigator. Ye Lai knows exactly what will happen to him. He did something he shouldn't have done and committed an irreparable crime. He should bear the responsibility. Some responsibility is also due.

Ye Lai has been thinking about it these past few days. The company just mentioned it at the beginning and sent someone to explain it tonight. Ye Lai also knows that this is the time the company is giving him to think about it.

If something goes wrong in the group, many people will lose their jobs and their daughters will become helpless.

Yue Yue has decided to bear all the responsibilities, but he still worries about his daughter. The company has said that he will be treated generously, even if he enters prison, because as long as he has money in prison, everything will be easy to handle. .

Ye Lai pressed his forehead and carried his sleeping daughter upstairs. After arriving in his daughter's room, Ye Lai gently put his daughter down, closed the door and returned to the restaurant on the second floor, where he began to tidy up.

Ye Lai plans to open a shop and do business as usual tomorrow, but people from the business department will definitely come over tomorrow, so Ye Lai just needs to wait quietly.

What is supposed to come will definitely come, Ye Lai knows very well.

Didi didi

The phone rang and Ye Lai hurriedly picked it up.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye!"

There was a dry female voice on the phone, and Ye Lai hummed.

"It's nothing. You just need to do what I told you tonight. The company has prepared a lawyer for you and will help you as much as possible. As for your daughter, she will do what is said in the contract. It’s up to us to take care of it.”

Ye Lai hummed and nodded with a worried look.

"Please think about it, Mr. Ye Lai. This is all for the company. After all, the company has been very kind to you over the years, right!"

"Yes, I understand."

End of call

In a spacious living room, a woman with a pointed nose and a black dress, holding a glass of wine in her hand, smiled evilly. Chen Qiao and some other businessmen were sitting in the living room.

"Thank you for your help!"

The woman's name is McCullin. She is the patriarch of the Sora family and the owner of the leading candy industry candy group in the city.

This time, McCullin can only cooperate with the core members of the Gourmet Association. Chen Qiao also used his relationship to smooth out the relationship with all parties in the association. He only needs to perform a play tomorrow morning. The current operation department is not as good as before. It is easy to smooth out, and many problems can be solved privately by finding some senior executives of the operation department.

After all, the city's economy is still declining. It seems to have improved, but from the perspective of the stock market and current prices, the city's economy is still falling. As long as the economy cannot be stabilized, these businessmen will occupy an absolute dominant position. This is inevitable because the city is facing an aging society and a new round of unemployment.

These problems are the reasons why most businessmen are fearless at present. Chen Qiao smiled and picked up the wine glass on the table and walked to McCullin's side.

"We helped you this time, and it will be your turn to help us next time?"

"Of course, Chen Qiao, but you have changed a lot."

Chen Qiao's originally smiling expression became frozen.

"Nothing is immutable."

"Chen Qiao, I think you'd better do something. After all, your eldest brother, including your brothers and sisters, still hold shares in the Chen family. If one day they bite you back........."

Chen Qiao interrupted McCullin's words.

"You don't need to worry about this, McCullin. Our Chen family is different now, and I am not the Chen Qiao of the past."

Chen Qiao stood up, and the other businessmen also stood up and planned to leave. McCullin looked at the businessmen who left and smiled sinisterly.

"Everything will be over tomorrow."

At this time, a mutant appeared in the living room, and McCullin scratched his head.

"I don't want any problems in the future, so I'll leave it to you, Latu!"

The mutant nodded.

"But at this juncture, is it really okay?"

McCullin nodded.

"Just wait for a while, only the dead won't speak."

Latu hummed.

"I know."

McCullin sighed. She didn't dare to do this kind of thing in the past, but now it's different. The times have completely changed. This is an era for businessmen. The Operations Department and the parliamentarians are no longer to be feared.

This is the general view of businessmen nowadays, and it is also the core issue. For businessmen, the Acting Department will not be as tough as before. This is certain. Many policies issued by the 12 departments recently are very beneficial to businessmen, but businessmen will not be easily confused by the petty profits in front of them this time.

Now the intentions of the Acting Department and the councillors are very clear. They hope that businessmen can spare no effort to carry out economic activities, but most businessmen now only need to consolidate their original industries, and then slowly occupy the market step by step at the right time. Only those small and medium-sized businessmen responded, but this is a drop in the bucket for such a huge city.

"The future belongs to us!"

McKullin laughed. She has clearly seen the future. From childhood to adulthood, McCullin has been very successful because she knows how to judge the situation. She has seen the situation over the years and can easily resolve the crisis every time. Now the company can grow and develop, thanks to her intelligence.

In the trap set by the Hillman family, countless people were affected, including Chen Qiao and others, who were burned because they were too close to the Hillman family.

McKullin rarely interacted with the Hillman family because she felt danger. Such a sense of danger was innate, and this time was the same. If it was not handled well, the group would suffer heavy losses.

"Cruelty is necessary in many cases. Those who know the truth do not need to live. All this is to feed more people."

McKullin's expression sank.

3:09 a.m.

Ye Jiao breathed quickly and climbed out of bed. Sweat had soaked the pillow. After turning on the light, Ye Jiao got up again. Although she was only 7 years old, she knew a lot of things. Her father was in a bad situation now. She hoped that her father would tell her what happened, but her father never said anything.

Ye Jiao's room is tidy, everything is almost symmetrical, the bed is placed in the middle, with a striped quilt. She was diagnosed with congenital obsessive-compulsive disorder when she was very young. This symptom will become more obvious as she grows older. Ye Jiao always sees a lot of strange things. When the symptoms occur, she needs to use neat things to calm her mood.

"It's all because of me!"

Ye Jiao muttered. She was a little worried about her father. She knew that his father would never tell her anything, but Ye Jiao still got up and went downstairs. When she came to the restaurant on the second floor, everything was neatly tidied up. Ye Jiao Looking at her father who was already sleeping on the sofa, she walked over cautiously, brought a blanket, sat next to her father, then lay down and covered her with the blanket. The sofa was large enough to accommodate Ye Jiao. He leaned against the nearby chest with peace of mind and listened quietly to his father's heartbeat.

All this made Ye Jiao feel at ease, and soon Ye Jiao fell asleep.

8 a.m.

Ye Jiao opened her eyes on time. This was the time she got up every day, exactly. Ye Jiao looked at her father who was still sleeping next to her. After getting up, she returned to her bedroom. After washing up quickly, she got on a boat. Wearing a beautiful blue dress, she combed her hair and went downstairs.

"Miss, why are you up? Boss, is he okay?"

Ye Jiao nodded. The two clerks had already opened the shop. In the entire candy shop, all the candies were neatly placed. This was placed by Ye Jiao. Every day, she would look at the candies on the shelves and sort them out. The uneven candies are arranged neatly. Many people will feel strange when entering this store, because the candies are arranged neatly and look beautiful.

Ye Jiao began to examine the candies carefully and adjusted the positions of the candies very accurately.

The two clerks were also surprised. Ye Jiao was able to accurately keep the distance between the candies consistent. Now Ye Jiao is placing the candies again, and people have already entered the store. The business here has always been very good, but the recent society There are rumors in the Internet that the company introduced poisonous candies, causing the business of their stores to be slightly worse than before.

Both shop assistants like this place very much. The boss Ye Lai is a very nice person, and her daughter is also quite sensible and well-behaved. Just because she has this congenital disease, she is a little different from ordinary people, but this little girl has a very high IQ. At just 7 years old, he already knew most of the Chinese characters, and his grades in school were very good.

This is another calm morning as always. The two clerks are still receiving customers as always. They will also explain in detail the rumors that some customers have heard.

When Ye Jiao sees that the shelves are empty, she will immediately go to the back to find the corresponding goods and replenish them immediately.

It's just that Ye Jiao was a little uneasy today because she had a nightmare last night. She couldn't remember what it was exactly, but it was just a very scary dream.

crunch

9:47 am

A 5-section management vehicle parked at the entrance of the store. Ye Jiao, who was looking at the candies, was startled. The two clerks were also the same. Then more and more management vehicles approached, and a bunch of 5-section management vehicles came over. people got off the management vehicle.

snap

A box of marble candy placed at the door fell to the ground, making a crackling sound. Ye Jiao looked at the members of Section 5 who entered the store in fear. She seemed to have seen a demon-like scene, and her voice was completely blocked in her throat. , completely unable to emit.

Ye Jiao didn't know what the people in Section 5 were saying. She couldn't hear the sound. She just felt very scared. Very scared. The two clerks were directly pressed to the ground and put on handcuffs. Ye Jiao looked at it blankly. Looking at everything in front of him, people from Section 5 passed by him one by one and went directly upstairs.

Soon Ye Jiao saw her father being forcibly taken away with handcuffs. His father seemed to be arguing with someone from Section 5, but he was roughly hit on the back with a stick. He looked at his father. With a distorted expression, Ye Jiao could no longer see clearly. In front of her eyes, there were only colorful worlds, all of which were twisted together. Ye Jiao was breathing rapidly.

Many people gathered at the door. Ye Jiao didn't know what was going on. Her whole body was sore and she had no strength at all. She could only watch her father being escorted out. Then the people from Section 5 set up a cordon. Ye Jiao looked at everything blankly. , at this time a female clerk came over and squatted in front of Ye Jiao.

"Why are you so rude? There are children here."

"Who asked his father to commit the crime? This candy has caused many children to be poisoned to varying degrees and suffered physical damage."

A male staff member said, and the female staff member picked up Ye Jiao, who was dazed and her eyes were dull.

"Little sister is fine, aunt will take you first..."

Ye Jiao suddenly came back to her senses. She struggled. The female clerk let her go. Ye Jiao suddenly ran out. Seeing that the manager who escorted her father away had already driven away, Ye Jiao walked quickly. After chasing him, all the noise in her ears began to disappear little by little. Ye Jiao only saw everything twisted in front of her. She didn't know what she was chasing, where she was chasing, and where her father was going to be taken.

Until her legs and feet were exhausted, Ye Jiao stood at a loss on the street, not knowing where she was going. She looked around, and she ran to other places unknowingly. Ye Jiao stood helplessly on a tree. Next to the electric pole, Ye Jiao looked towards the Public Security Management Office not far away, and she walked over step by step.

Soon Ye Jiao was taken to a room by a female staff member.

"Little sister, it's okay, just stay here."

Ye Jiao didn't speak, just looked at the ground blankly. Her father's friends and some people from the company who had talked with her father at the cocktail party appeared in her mind.

Ye Jiao quietly stared at everything in front of her.

At this time, Ye Lai was in the interrogation room, explaining everything. He lowered his head and said something. He colluded with the head of the technical department to make a profit with this candy that had not been actually tested. He began to admit his crime.

Soon the interrogation ended. Ye Lai wanted to see his daughter, but was eventually rejected. Ye Lai was taken to the underground detention room. After he entered, he was not put in a straitjacket.

At this time, at the door of Ye Jiao's room, several team leaders were discussing whether Ye Jiao should stay or go. In the management office of Section 5, a man who claimed to be a member of the Criminal Children Rescue Association came over.

The man provided all the qualifications and then took out the agreement that Ye Lai had signed with him to take care of his daughter. After all the audits were fine, the man came to Ye Jiao's room.

Ye Jiao's ears were buzzing. She couldn't hear what the man said, but she was still led by the man's hand and walked. Ye Jiao was like a walking corpse at this time, and was led out of the public security management office by hand.

Half an hour later, Ye Jiao was taken to a house, and then she was pushed in roughly by the man.

Click

Ye Jiao looked at everything in front of her at a loss, without any strength in her body. Her heart was completely eroded by fear, her mind was blank, her breathing was always rapid, and everything in front of her was extremely distorted.

At this time, at the door of this basement, the man who brought Ye Jiao here smiled and took the money from the extremely strong man in front of him.

"Mr. Latu, it's completely okay. I will take care of it. This child has a congenital disease. Everything will be normal at that time, including her autopsy report."

Latu hummed, glanced at the door of the basement, and then turned around and walked away.

"Remember it..."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Latu, we have dealt with this kind of thing many times. In the past two years, we have handled this kind of thing very well."

Latu nodded with satisfaction and turned around and walked away. Soon Latu walked out of a building in a residential area. When he turned the corner, Latu smelled a strong smell of perfume, and Latu pinched his nose.

As soon as he turned the corner, Latu saw a man dressed strangely, wearing a woman's dress and heavy makeup, walking towards him. Latu became alert and clenched one hand into a fist.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

Suddenly, the perverted man shouted, and Latu was startled. He subconsciously punched him directly, but the next second Latu felt something was wrong, and his fist was blocked by the other party's finger.

"You started it first, don't blame me!"

Bang

Accompanied by a loud bang, Latu only felt that he was lying on the ground, and his consciousness began to become more and more blurred, and the guy in front of him walked step by step.

"Pah!"

Hawke walked past the mutant who was knocked out by him in a chic manner, and then walked straight. He came here to visit a friend and colleague from the past. His health has been getting worse recently. If he doesn't go to see him, the next time may be at his funeral.

However, Hawke felt that the man's eyes were a little strange, as if he was going to do something dangerous. He turned around and took a look, then waved his hand.

"It has nothing to do with me!"

3 o'clock in the afternoon

Latu woke up with a start, and in front of him were several people from Section 5.

"Sir, why are you sleeping here?"

Latu covered his aching abdomen, and then the image of the demon appeared in his mind. Immediately, Latu felt his back numb, but after looking at the time, Latu panicked and ran quickly.
