Convicting someone requires evidence, so the authorities chose to close the case.
But suspicion does not.
So the matter doesn't end here; there will definitely be further investigations.
After eliminating all impossibilities, Su Yi, who had a conflict with Zheng Ziye of the Zheng family on the day of the incident, would obviously be the main suspect.
He certainly couldn't hide the fact that he had been to the Zheng family that night.
Su Yi was well aware of this, but he didn't care.
What could they do by suspecting him?
The entire Zheng family died of sudden illnesses; no matter how strange or unbelievable, this was an undeniable fact.
...
A few days later, Shen Mingwen, who had been under intense suspicion and investigation, contacted Su Yi as soon as some restrictions were lifted after the case was closed.
Upon meeting, he exclaimed:
"Mr. Su is truly skillful."
To be honest, he was completely dumbfounded that morning and didn't understand what was happening.
It wasn't until he was under heavy surveillance and investigation these past two days that he pieced together what happened at the Zheng family that night.
Shen Mingwen's first reaction wasn't gloating.
Instead, he was thankful that he hadn't offended Su Yi when he came to sell gold before.
During their first meeting, his daughter had neglected Su Yi, but Su Yi had been generous and didn't hold it against them.
Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what the Shen family's fate would be now.
Look at the Zheng family; not a single survivor was left.
It was too tragic.
The key was that they couldn't even complain, as they all died of natural causes.
"What skills? I was just lucky. I guess the Zheng family might have some kind of hereditary disease," Su Yi said seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be a family history of hereditary diseases that suddenly flared up," Shen Mingwen certainly couldn't disagree.
His main stance was that whatever you say is right.
However, he didn't come here today just to say these things.
After exchanging pleasantries, he took out a large pile of documents.
The Zheng family's assets were divided into two parts: those that could be seen and those that couldn't.
Shen Mingwen couldn't easily tamper with the legitimate industries that could be seen, as the Zheng family was all dead.
Moreover, most of those who died that day were just the Zheng family's direct descendants; some more distant relatives or kin were definitely still alive.
Such a large family couldn't possibly not find a few heirs.
Even if these people inheriting the family business according to inheritance law were all incompetent fools, it wouldn't be a matter of a day or two to swallow these legitimate enterprises; it would have to be done slowly.
As for those shady, illegitimate industries, that was much simpler.
The rules of the underworld: whoever wins takes all.
Shen Mingwen looked refined, but he wasn't a good person either.
With such a good opportunity in front of him, he had no intention of letting the Zheng family off the hook.
In just a few days, he swept all the Zheng family's gray income into his pocket like autumn leaves.
The methods used naturally didn't need to be said.
But Shen Mingwen didn't dare to swallow these things alone; he didn't even dare to keep them for himself.
Now he was sending them all to Su Yi.
As long as Su Yi nodded, these industries, with a total value of no less than three billion, would all be his.
However, after briefly looking through these documents, he smiled:
"Brother Shen has misunderstood. I'm not good at management; these industries are useless to me."
If he didn't want the industries, then he wanted money.
Shen Mingwen understood instantly and said:
"It just so happens that many of our family's industries overlap with the Zheng family's. Since Mr. Su doesn't want these industries, then I'll shamelessly accept them."
"However, our Shen family doesn't have much liquid capital right now. Mr. Su, give me three days to prepare, and I'll give you a down payment of one billion in three days."
"I'll manage these industries afterward, and all the profits will be split five ways with Mr. Su. What do you think?"
One billion, plus getting a 50% share of the profits without doing anything.
Su Yi was quite satisfied with this plan and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, it was something he got for free; he was too lazy to worry about managing it himself.
Having someone handle all the miscellaneous matters for him, and he just needed to split the money, of course, there was no reason to refuse.
At most, he would just earn a little less, which wasn't a big deal.
He always had to give people some sweeteners for doing things.
The key was that for Shen Mingwen, these industries were also picked up for free.
Anyway, he was in this line of work himself, and he had plenty of people under him. Being able to get so many industries for doing a little work was, of course, a pure profit.
Only the world where the Zheng family was harmed was achieved.
"Oh, right!"
After settling the company's affairs, Shen Mingwen took out another document and handed it to Su Yi:
"This is the land deed to the Zheng family's mansion. After Mr. Su said he was interested that day, I've been asking people to handle it. Because something big just happened here, it was more troublesome to get it done, but fortunately, it's been taken care of."
"Mr. Su just needs to sign his name, and that mansion is yours."
"But moving in will probably have to wait for a while. It's still under official lockdown right now, and even if it's unlocked, so many people just died inside, so it's a bit inappropriate to move in without cleaning it up."
Su Yi didn't care about whether people died or not; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted that house while letting Yue Ling massacre inside.
After signing his name on the document, he only said to notify him when the official seals were removed.
As for now, he didn't need to stay in a hotel every day; he had already moved into the villa he had bought for more than twenty million before.
The day after the Zheng family's incident, the villa property management notified Su Yi that the building he bought had been thoroughly cleaned inside and out, and at his instruction, all the furniture had been replaced with new ones.
He moved in with Yue Ling that night.
He had already been living there for several days.
"Everything that needs to be said has been said. I've been personally busy lately because of the Zheng family's affairs, and I have something to do later, so I'll leave first."
Shen Mingwen was very self-aware. After discussing serious matters for an afternoon, seeing that it was almost dinnertime, he took the initiative to leave.
The main reason was that he was now somewhat afraid of the young man in front of him.
His medical skills were amazing; he could save someone with terminal cancer in minutes.
But his methods were too ruthless, killing entire families at the drop of a hat; who wouldn't be afraid?
After seeing Shen Mingwen off, Su Yi lay directly on the sofa and continued to be his salted fish.
The farm's affairs were being handled by Zhou Yan, and production had already resumed, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.
Now he had a pocket full of money, and there was nothing he needed to do.
This was the laid-back life he had dreamed of. If he didn't have the system, he could lie like this for the rest of his life.
However, this kind of comfortable life would never last long.
Less than half an hour after lying down, a phone call came.
Taking out his phone, he saw that it was his mother calling.
Because he was afraid of scaring his mother with his sudden wealth, Su Yi hadn't told his family about his specific situation these days. He only said that he had been pulled by a friend and made a lot of money doing some business, and he had sent two million home.
At first, no matter how much he pleaded, the two elders were unwilling to accept it.
It wasn't until Su Yi rummaged for a long time and found a card with a balance of more than six million, took a screenshot of the balance, and sent it to them that his mother reluctantly accepted it.
She even said she would help him save it.
Su Yi also knew that these two old folks probably wouldn't be willing to spend it, but now that he was in Jiangcheng, he didn't have time to go back, and he couldn't say much, only planning to take some time to go back to his hometown sometime.
But after his family knew that he was financially well-off, another problem arose.
Urging him to get married.
Su Yi now had a headache whenever he saw his mother's phone call.
