Chapter 196 Jiang Yongxiao Released on Bail

Xie Jinghuai frowned, seemingly unable to bear hearing her defend Jiang Shiyuan; a cold, disdainful smile curved his thin lips.

"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. It is Jiang Yongxiao's own evil intentions that have dragged the company down. Even if he doesn't encounter trouble today, he will eventually drag down Yongheng Technology and cause it to fail completely."

Lin Zhixin pursed her lips, "But... after all, Chairman Jiang is my sister's uncle, and I still feel guilty."

"Zhixin, you don't need to feel guilty, you did a great job."

Xie Jinghuai looked up and gave her an approving smile. "You are a member of the Xie Group, and everything you do should be based on the interests of the Xie Group. I am very pleased that you are fair and impartial."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Brother Jinghuai. I will continue to work hard in the future." Lin Zhixin smiled sweetly, her eyes fixed on Xie Jinghuai with a look that resembled a dog's.

She didn't want to be just a member of the Xie Group.

She still wants to be Jinghuai's woman.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Xie Jinghuai answered and Han Xu hurriedly walked in.

"Mr. Xie, Jiang Yongxiao is still being held in the police station. Someone has submitted new evidence, saying that Jiang Yongxiao is also suspected of gambling and bribery."

Lin Zhixin sneered inwardly.

This old man is probably going to spend the rest of his life in jail!

The man's phoenix eyes darkened. "New evidence? Who submitted it?"

Han Xu paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "When I went to the police station to find out what was going on, I happened to run into... President Fu's secretary, Xing Zhen, who had just come out of the police station."

"Fu Chenzhou?" Xie Jinghuai's jaw tightened.

"Oh, so the person who reported Chairman Jiang must be President Fu."

Lin Zhixin stood beside the icy man, arms crossed, "Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?"

Xie Jinghuai tapped his well-defined fingers on the table, his voice gentle:

"Zhixin, I have something to say to Secretary Han. You can go back now."

"Alright then, Brother Jinghuai."

Lin Zhixin looked on with reluctance, her eyes practically drooling as she gazed at Xie Jinghuai. "By the way, I booked our usual restaurant tonight. I've already told Tongtong, and she's overjoyed."

Tongtong and I will go over first tonight. Jinghuai, you must come after you're done with your work!

"Hmm." Xie Jinghuai smiled slightly.

Han Xu saw this and was so angry that his stomach felt like it was going to cramp.

The president seems to be in a good mood today. Whether it's because he's going to have some alone time with Lin Zhixin tonight, or because he's about to bring down Eternal Technology, is unclear.

After Lin Zhixin left the office, Xie Jinghuai's face changed, his handsome features suddenly darkening:

"Is Fu Chenzhou's involvement in Eternal Technology not to help Jiang Yongxiao, but to kick him while he's down?"

Han Xu thought for a moment and nodded. "It seems that's true at the moment."

Xie Jinghuai's face was ashen. His tall figure slowly stood up, turned around, and stood with his back to the light, gazing at the steel forest outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a long pause, he seemed to understand something, and let out a cold laugh:

"Oh, I see."

Han Xu looked completely bewildered. "President Xie, what do you mean?"

"Fu Chenzhou may seem to be kicking someone when they're down, but in reality, he's helping Jiang Shiyuan."

Han Xu became increasingly confused as he listened. "Help? How can what he's doing help his wife?"

"Help Jiang Shiyuan seize power."

Xie Jinghuai narrowed his phoenix eyes coldly and glanced at Han Xu behind him. "Jiang Shiyuan is the founder's daughter, and Jiang Yongxiao has no children. If something happens to him, the shares in his hands will naturally fall into Jiang Shiyuan's hands."

Furthermore, Yongheng Technology is not a publicly listed company; it's essentially a family business. With the founder's daughter holding shares and the support of the president of Guangji, inheriting the company would be perfectly legitimate.

It seems that Fu Chenzhou has not given up.

He's still secretly eyeing his woman!

Han Xu suddenly realized that the president's analysis made perfect sense.

But……

Is it possible for a wife who has no scientific research or technical knowledge and has never been involved in management to suddenly take over the company?

However, Xie Jinghuai was determined to make it impossible, regardless of whether it was possible or not.

The man raised an eyebrow. "Han Xu, go to the police station and bail Jiang Yongxiao out."

Han Xu's pupils contracted. "You...you said you wouldn't care about him, why are you suddenly..."

"Not only should we bail Jiang Yongxiao out, but we should also ensure that he gets through this ordeal safely."

Xie Jinghuai narrowed his long eyes, his expression dark and dangerous. "Now that Fu Chenzhou has joined this game, wouldn't it be very boring if I didn't fight him?"

Moreover, in Beijing, it's always been him and me who's been fighting. That was true before, and it's true now.

His actions were certainly not simply to compete with Fu Chenzhou.

As long as Jiang Yongxiao still controls Eternal Technology, there will be no place for Jiang Shiyuan.

After all, his niece is no longer a naive young girl. He is unaware of their current marital status and fears that with the Xie family's backing, she might challenge him for control of the company.

From Jiang Yongxiao's perspective, he would never allow Jiang Shiyuan to enter Eternal, and even if she did, he would never allow her to come into contact with the core.

This idea coincided with his own.

His goal was to cut off all of Jiang Shiyuan's escape routes, leaving her with no way to make a living except by depending on him and being his wife, just like she had for the past five years.

At this thought, Xie Jinghuai's vision blurred for a moment.

He vaguely saw Jiang Shiyuan's gentle and kind eyes reflected in the glass window, holding Tongtong and showing him a tender smile that used to appear in his life every day, but which he had never paid attention to.

“Jiang Shiyuan, the troubles Yongheng is in today are not caused by anyone else; the instigator is yourself.”

Xie Jinghuai's prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his large hand involuntarily reached for the glass window, his five fingers clenching together.

That illusion vanished in an instant.

“If you had obediently come back and become Mrs. Xie, none of this would have happened, and the journey to eternity wouldn’t have been so difficult.”

...

Last night's ordeal, coupled with days of exhaustion, left Jiang Shiyuan so tired that she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was already afternoon.

She was completely unconscious, as if she had been drugged.

When Jiang Shiyuan woke up, she found herself sleeping in her bedroom bed. She instantly became alert and lifted the covers to check on herself.

The red-painted coat was removed, but the rest of the clothes remained unchanged, and there was no discomfort on the body.

Jiang Shiyuan clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she and Fu Chenzhou had intimate contact, it was when Fu Chenzhou was drunk and not in his right mind.

Fu Chenzhou, who was awake, probably wasn't that damp...

Jiang Shiyuan took a shower, put on her bathrobe, and walked out of the bedroom while drying her hair, then suddenly paused—

On the coffee table, there was a transparent cake box, neatly arranged, containing the strawberry cake that Fu Chenzhou had mentioned last night.

Jiang Shiyuan's stomach was growling with hunger, so she practically pounced on the coffee table, tore open the packaging, and took a big bite of the cake.

Shedding her identity as Mrs. Xie, she no longer needed to worry about her image and devoured the strawberry cake like a little pig.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Shiyuan called Banban, and the little guy answered quickly.

Hello, Aunt Jiang!

"It's alright."

Jiang Shiyuan felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Fu Yansi's voice, "Banban, the strawberry cake you gave Auntie was delicious, Auntie ate it all, thank you."

"Strawberry cake? What strawberry cake? I didn't buy any." Fu Yansi asked, bewildered.

"Ah." Jiang Shiyuan's almond-shaped eyes widened.

So, last night, Fu Chenzhou didn't come to deliver a cake; he deliberately waited near her house...

Just then, her phone vibrated; a WeChat message from Ye Yu had arrived, disrupting her thoughts:

【Ah Yuan, it's urgent, call back immediately!】

"Banban, Aunt Jiang is busy here, I'll call you back when I have time."

"Okay!

"Oh, and please thank your dad for the strawberry cake; it was delicious."

After ending the call, she quickly called Ye Yu:

"Senior brother, what happened?"

"Ah Yuan, something terrible has happened! Jiang Yongxiao has been released on bail!"
