Chapter 190

Xie Rongcheng, now 58 years old, is from Mawei Village, Xingsha County, Xiangcheng. He was a college student in the 80s, but he was not satisfied with the status quo when he was young. He resigned from his public office in the 90s and went to work in the south. Seeing the right opportunity, he worked in real estate with others and earned his first pot of gold. Later, he went to Hong Kong to develop, and he was involved in real estate, finance, and logistics industries, and he was completely established in the Hong Kong business community. After 2001, Xie Rongcheng firmly grasped the rapid economic development of the mainland, came back to invest in the development of multiple real estate projects, and his assets expanded exponentially, and his business territory further expanded. Now, although he is not as good as those wealthy people in Hong Kong, he is already a well-known figure.

When Xie Rongcheng was in his 20s, he married a university teacher in his hometown and had a daughter. After he went south to work, the couple spent less time together. Five years later, they divorced and the daughter went to his wife.

Today, Xie Rongcheng's first wife has retired and has been living in Xiangcheng with her second husband, who is also a university professor. They also have a son. Both children are very successful. The daughter is studying for a doctorate and the son is studying for a master's degree. However, the simple and down-to-earth life trajectory of this family seems to have nothing to do with billionaire Xie Rongcheng.

When Xie Rongcheng was 35 years old, he married another wife in Hong Kong. At that time, he had made a lot of money and married an unknown female artist. They had a son. Ten years later, when their only son was 10 years old, they divorced. Surprisingly, Xie Rongcheng did not want this son. He had a very tight control over his property. I don't know what means he used, but he only gave the mother and son a sum of money and successfully divorced. This caused a lot of discussion outside, saying that this son must not be his.

Two years after the divorce, his second wife was arrested by the police for drug abuse and drug trafficking and was imprisoned. His son went to study in the UK and never returned to Hong Kong.

Eight years ago, in 8, when Xie Rongcheng was 2016 years old, he was diagnosed with early liver cancer. Later, he brought his brothers and sisters from his hometown to Hong Kong and joined the management of Huading Group.

After reading Xie Rongcheng's basic information, Li Qingyao had some guesses in his mind. For example, could it be that Liu Tingmei and he were from the same hometown, which made him help her? In addition, Xie Rongcheng created so much wealth in his life, but when he was old, he was suffering from a terminal illness, his wife and children left him, and he was alone, and he took Liu Tingmei in as his adopted daughter. What story was hidden in this?
You will know everything only after meeting Xie Rongcheng.

When Li Qingyao and Xia Yongze drove to the sanatorium on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, the results of Xie Xinrui's expedited DNA comparison came out.

Her DNA completely matched the DNA found in the bloodstains in the cabin, and her kinship with Liu Tingmei's parents was 99.99%.

The police also found several blonde wigs in her home, all made of real hair, one of which was an exact match to the broken hair in the cabin.

Xie Xinrui is Liu Tingmei, and she is also the owner of the pistol that killed Qian Chengfeng and attempted to murder Luo Long in the cabin.

Ye Songming's diary mentioned that she was "tall and thin". It has been confirmed that Xie Xinrui is 171cm tall. On the day of the murder of Qian Chengfeng, she must have worn large-size shoes to confuse the police. The stride length corresponding to her height is also consistent with the police's calculations.

She has the financial resources and channels to support her criminal plan and purchase a gun. She is the serial killer the police are looking for.

The sanatorium is very large and is built around a lake. Xie Rongcheng lives alone in a small building inside it.

Li Qingyao and his companion followed the staff and drove to the front of the building. They drank tea and waited for a while on the first floor. Then they saw a foreign doctor and a female nurse coming down the elevator pushing Xie Rongcheng in a wheelchair.

Li Qingyao looked at Xie Rongcheng carefully. He was much thinner than a few months ago. If he seemed energetic and elegant the last time they met, he looked old and sick now. His face was pale and dark, with many more wrinkles and puffy and dark eye bags.

Without waiting for them to speak, Xie Rongcheng looked up at Li Qingyao and said with a smile: "Miss Li, can you please accompany me for a walk alone?" Li Qingyao nodded to Xia Yongze, indicating that he should stay here. Xie Rongcheng said to the nurse: "You stay too."

The nurse hesitated, and Xie Rongcheng said, "This is a police comrade. It's safer for me to be with her than with you."

Li Qingyao replied: "I'm fine. But I don't know anything about medicine. If you need anything, I'm afraid I can't take care of you."

"It's okay. We won't go far. We'll be where they can see us. And my condition has been stable these days. I'll be fine."

There is a greenway by the lake. The sun is shining brightly at this time, and the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. The sparkling lake water is like a soft mirror, spreading under their feet. Li Qingyao pushed Xie Rongcheng and walked slowly. He looked at the surrounding scenery and didn't speak, so she didn't speak either.

"Li Jincheng's sister?" He asked suddenly.

"Yes."

But he stopped asking.

"Did Xie Xinrui mention my brother to you?"

He smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked up at her and said sincerely, "I sincerely hope that you can find your brother as soon as possible and that he is healthy and safe."

Li Qingyao's heart warmed and he said, "Thank you."

After walking a few more steps, she asked, "Why did you adopt Liu Tingmei back then?"

Xie Rongcheng looked at the vast water surface, where a water bird was flying by. He sighed softly and said, "She was very unique and desperate at that time. You know, every pore and every strand of hair on her body revealed despair. She and I, I guess, are just like nature."

"You were..."

"You are a police officer, you should have checked my information, right? When I was diagnosed with cancer, the doctor discussed with me the five-year survival rate. Fortunately, I have lived for five years, which is enough. I raised my son for ten years, but found out that he was not my biological son. My marriage was also a trap set by my friend and her. If I hadn't discovered it early and fought back against them severely, I am afraid that most of my property would have been swindled away by them. The business war dramas on Hong Kong TVB are very exciting, but the scam that happened to me was even more bloody and vicious than the TV dramas. At that time, I really wanted to kill them.

I want to have a successor, but my own daughter doesn't recognize me. Because I cheated on her and abandoned her and her daughter, she is very ambitious and said that she will never recognize me in this life and doesn't care about my money. It is gratifying that my ex-wife raised a very good child, but she no longer belongs to me. Of course, this is also my own fault. When I was young, what did a wife and a daughter in my hometown mean? How could I compare to Hong Kong and Shenzhen? I could have any woman I wanted. At that time, I felt that I was still young, how could I not have a successor? There were many women who gave birth to sons for me.

2017 was the year when my assets reached the highest level and I was the richest. It was also the year when I realized that I would end up with nothing in this life. Then, I met Liu Tingmei.
