Chapter 329 Getting Involved

Hearing

All eyes in the room, including those of the police officers, turned to look at him!

The Pi family members, who rushed over after receiving the notification, also glared angrily at Wen Ni.

"I...this matter has damaged Chairman Pi's reputation!" Wen Ni said dazedly, struggling to open her mouth. "With so many people around, I can't say..."

"Can't you say? In my opinion, it's clearly you who killed our chairman, and now you can't find a reason to exonerate yourself!" The woman who spoke was in her sixties.

With a barrel waist and no neck, she looked large and burly. Her hands, adorned with three large gold bracelets, exuded an air of extravagance that made her instantly recognizable as the arrogant and domineering Mrs. Pi!

"You dared to murder our father! You bastard! We must make you pay with your life!" The three brothers and Mrs. Pi's faces looked like they were made from the same mold, and they shouted in unison.

Judging by their momentum, if it weren't for the police officers holding them back, they probably would have rushed forward and beaten Wen Ni black and blue!

Maggie gripped Wen Ni's hand tightly, her voice trembling, "Hua Ying! At this critical juncture, just tell the truth! This is to prove your innocence. The heavens will remember you and won't blame you!"

"I……"

Wen Ni shrank back slightly and bit her lip in embarrassment.

"explain!"

"Speak quickly!"

She looked up and around, and saw a group of people eyeing her covetously!

She sighed softly, finding it rather difficult to say, "Actually, it's Chairman Pi who likes me!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"You may look a bit young, but you're a man! My dad would like you!?"

"This is utterly fabricated and utter nonsense!"

The three brothers reacted the most strongly.

The others, however, fell silent in unison!

The people who know Chairman Pi's likes and dislikes best are none other than his wife of over fifty years, who is estranged from him, Ban Gou who used to associate with him, and several police chiefs who were also bribed behind his back.

“This is a huge check from Chairman Pi, saying that if I stay with him, he will help me run the shop and make a living!” Wen Ni pointed to the table. “There’s also a letter of commitment signed and sealed by him underneath!”

"This really looks like Dad's handwriting!" The three brothers were dumbfounded.

"I was so surprised and couldn't believe that Chairman Pi liked me! I wasn't prepared for this, so I didn't intend to accept his kindness." Wen Ni lowered her eyes, feeling saddened. "But after drinking a cup of tea, I felt weak in the legs and couldn't take a step. At that moment, Chairman Pi suddenly came over and hugged me, and I don't know why, but I actually responded to him! But after only a short while, he suddenly fainted and coughed up blood!"

Those present listened to her description with varying expressions.

The one who lost face the most was Mrs. Pi, and her three sons who were greatly shocked!

"Sir, the preliminary test results for the tea are in!"

What was the result?

"Excluding highly toxic drugs, the test strip concentration is 80%, indicating a high level of functional drugs!" The police officer's reply was clear: "Our initial suspicion is that it was caused by aphrodisiac drugs that triggered heart failure."

"Aphrodisiac!!"

"So Chairman Pi wanted to use drugs to liven things up, but he forgot that he's already in his seventies or eighties and can't handle such stimulation!" Ban Gou said from the side, seemingly sighing, his tone low and pointed. "Madam Pi, don't misunderstand, I just think it's a real pity that Chairman Pi, with his illustrious reputation, has been ruined by something like this! If this gets out, where will you and your son, and even the entire Pi Clan Chamber of Commerce, put your faces?"

"That old bastard..."

Mrs. Pi gritted her teeth, staring at Chairman Pi's corpse covered with a white sheet, her face turning pale and then purple.

Others may not know what kind of person Pi Seman is, but surely Madam Pi knows?

It's not surprising at all that this lecherous old man would do something like drugging someone!

"Now that Boss Pi has passed away unexpectedly..." Wen Ni seized the opportunity and continued to speak.

She gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, forcing herself to sit up straight, and looked sincerely at Mrs. Pi and her three sons.

"I won't accept a single penny of the check he gave me, and I'll return the entire three million to you! Madam Pi's three sons are all outstanding individuals; whoever inherits the Pi Family Business Association will surely achieve great things and make significant progress! I only beg you not to publicize this matter, otherwise it will only tarnish the Pi family's reputation, and I... I won't be able to face anyone anymore..."

"Inheritance rights." Upon hearing the key phrase, the three sons' eyes lit up, and their sorrow vanished.

yes.

Now that their father, Pi Seman, is dead, won't the massive Pi Clan Merchant Guild fall into the hands of the three of them? This time, they no longer need to worry about their father handing it over to others!

Mrs. Pi didn't shed a single tear.

Her shrewd eyes darted around, then she glanced at the corpse covered in a white sheet, before turning her head away with a look of disgust, refusing to look at it again!

"Today, Chairman Pi suddenly fell ill with a recurring ailment and died in your association's premises, with one of your people! You owe us a full amount of compensation! Otherwise, I'm not letting this go!"

The spearhead is aimed directly at Wen Ni, who is in poor condition.

"Mrs. Pi is mistaken."

Before Wen Ni could answer, Ban Gou interjected, "I haven't even investigated the matter of Chairman Pi drugging my club's employees yet!"

"you……"

"Mrs. Pi, please accept our deepest condolences. When Chairman Pi's farewell ceremony is held, our Kok Wong Club will certainly present a generous gift!"

Ban Gou deflected Madam Pi's criticism with a single sentence.

Mrs. Pi suppressed her anger and called her bodyguards to carry Pi Seman's body away quietly.

Ban Gou handed a cigarette to the sheriff.

"Since Chairman Pi's family isn't pursuing the matter, Chief, shall we close this case here?"

"That's fine, it saves us the trouble!"

The sheriff took the thick cigarette, and inside, in the center, was a check!

The sheriff's brow twitched, but he calmly stuffed the cigarette back into his inner pocket. "Mr. Ban Gou, feel free to call me anytime if you need anything! We'll call it a day now, so as not to disturb your business!"

"Excuse me, Sheriff."

Ban Gou is the most experienced in dealing with this kind of thing.

He watched the group leave.

Ban Gou then took the time to attend to Wen Ni, who was not in good condition!

"I'll give you three million. You can break your promise to me and run away with him. Why stay here, toiling like a slave in this dark and hopeless world?"

"If I just leave, what about Maggie? What about Ge Gang?" Wen Ni replied with her eyes closed, using her last bit of strength. "How long can the favor of those in power last? When the novelty wears off, where will I go? In this world, only by becoming stronger can one truly defy fate! Isn't that right?"

Ban Gou's previously skeptical expression suddenly froze.

In his daze, Wen Ni in his sight was already powerless, slumped back!

Upon seeing this, Ban Gou's expression immediately darkened, and he hurried forward with concern.

He touched Wen Ni's burning cheek with the back of his hand. The heat made his brow twitch, and he quickly turned to Maggie and ordered, "Go! Fill the bathtub with cold water!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Once the bathtub was full of water, Wen Ni was picked up by Ban Gou and thrown into the water along with her clothes.

Seeing Wen Ni's wet body and flushed face, Ma Qi was afraid that Wen Ni's fact that she was a girl would be exposed. She didn't care about so many rules and mustered up her courage to grab Ban Gou and push him out!

"Brother Ban Gou! Leave this to me! You're of high status! It's damp and wet here, so please don't get your clothes dirty!"

"Alright, take good care of this kid!"

Ban Gou frowned and glanced at Machi before turning and walking out of the bathroom. He leaned against the glass door and lit a cigarette.

The burning sensation in his throat made him cough twice, barely managing to suppress the inexplicable restlessness rising within him!

"Damn it, no wonder that old lecher Pi had wicked thoughts, this kid... definitely has some problems!"
