Chapter 154: Love His Iron Bones, Fear His Annihilation

After going upstairs, Chen Qing went straight to the study. The man was wearing beige home clothes, with a serious expression, and was talking on the phone.

Her eyes were red, and she burrowed into his arms, her throat choking with sobs, "Jiang Jingyan..."

Jiang Jingyan didn't have time to stop her. He hugged her with one hand and put the phone away. "Are you having a nightmare?"

She just shook her head, and a helpless yet amusing joke passed by her ear, "Do you know how many people are looking at you across the street?"

Chen Qing froze and quietly opened one eye to look. On the computer screen were four senior executives of Huasheng, with embarrassed expressions and avoiding glances.

She wanted to get up and move away, but Jiang Jingyan tightened his arms and his knees suddenly spread apart. The only thing left in the camera was his broad body and the upper half of his arm that looked like a white lotus root.

"You tell me." His voice was calm and indifferent. "Vice Chairman Kong previously controlled an offshore company. Within a month, it was rebranded and the relevant personnel disappeared without a trace. The board of directors was completely unaware. Do you believe they didn't collude with anyone?"

The speaker's voice was slightly older, and his tone was respectful. "You personally handed Vice President Kong over to the Economic Investigation Team. He didn't have time to deal with the aftermath. If it weren't his people, it's very likely that a third party took advantage of the chaos and took advantage of the situation to seize the company. Furthermore, this company wasn't incorporated into the group structure and wasn't under the management of the board of directors, so it really wasn't on anyone's radar."

Jiang Jingyan pressed the volume button on his phone and leaned on Chen Qing's hip. "Half of the board members don't tell the truth, and the other half don't dare to tell the truth. I'm not satisfied with the result you've brought."

There was a strange silence.

Chen Qing's lips touched the man's hot flesh. These people should be his confidants, secretly helping him to find out the inside story of the group.

She gently reminded, "Monitor."

The damp air made Jiang Jingyan's cheekbones bulge. He tilted his head, "Lian Zhuo placed a jammer in the study."

"Even secretaries carry these things around?"

He nodded lightly, but his face turned blue with endurance and half of his body was numb.

The person on the other end of the screen thought he was angry and quickly stated, "If you suspect Vice President Kong of using the group's projects to support his own company, we can directly add a charge of embezzlement."

"I don't want him to confess." Jiang Jingyan held up a cigarette but didn't light it. "Regulatory authorities found him to have embezzled 50 million yuan in public funds, of which 8 million yuan couldn't be reconciled. Huasheng set up a cultural and creative company in another province two years ago. It was inconspicuous, so no one paid much attention. However, the company operated under the banner of public welfare, but its suppliers had dealings with Vice President Kong's company."

The other end suddenly realized, "Vice President Kong is secretly colluding with the supplier to leave a way out for his family."

"This money comes from the people, and every penny must be spent. Let's do it."

The person on the screen exited the meeting, and Jiang Jingyan grabbed his phone. "Watch this secretly. If there's any movement, contact me directly."

"These people are not valued in the group because they don't want to go along with the corrupt practices. They are 100% loyal to you. Don't you trust them?"

"It has nothing to do with trust. Promoting a high-profile investigation in the open will inevitably lead to new traps."

"clear."

Chen Qing's grip around his neck tightened. Jiang Jingyan's aura was incredibly complex. His integrity, self-discipline, and strategic planning alone had stirred a hurricane through her youthful, indifferent life, a force that pierced her very being and her heart.

She was proud and fascinated, but also very nervous.

Since ancient times, loyal ministers have had a hard time having a good end. Under justice, there are piles of dead bones, and behind fairness, there are towering tombstones. If one is not careful, thousands of arrows will be fired, and he will have no place to be buried.

Although she was madly in love with his majesty and strength, she did not want to see his passion extinguished in the dust one day.

"Jiang Jingyan." Chen Qing moved her lips to the man's cheek, lightly touching it. "When are you going to rest?"

"Can't you sleep without me? Why are you even more annoying than when you were little?"

She swayed from side to side, "I'm asking when you'll finally rest."

Jiang Jingyan put on the computer and helped her swivel the chair.

The dim light shone into his eyes, making them look lingering and doting. "I'm going to rest. Will you support me with your small treasury?"

"Sure, it's not like we can't afford it."

Her tone was arrogant, and her eyes curved into a crescent moon, which made Jiang Jingyan laugh, "Where is Miss Chen going to keep me?"

"Let's go to the south to find Master Xiao and Sister Meng."

"Neither Zhounan nor this place are within your consideration. Did Tang Xiaoming try to incite you to rebellion?"

Chen Qing grabbed the buttonhole of his collar without saying a word.

Not being here means being away from the Yan family; not going to Zhounan means being away from Meng Hongwen.

She didn't have the ability to comprehend the current situation, but she had a feeling that something big was going to happen.

Jiang Jingyan never worried about things that might happen out of thin air. He used kisses to smooth out her frown over and over again, and used his warm and dry palms to guide her heart to peace bit by bit. They spent three days in peace and tranquility in the villa.

On the fourth day, when Chen Qingsheng woke up, there was no one by the bed.

After she finished washing up, she walked downstairs slowly. When she caught sight of the figure in the living room, she was about to say hello when suddenly a wine glass flew out and shattered not far away, spilling crimson liquid all over the floor.

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard You Meng talking.

"Calm down, Chen Qing is still asleep."

Tang Xiaoming clenched his fist and pressed it against his brow. "How can I be calm? He was taken away by the provincial government and his phone was confiscated. The charges will only be serious, not minor. I can't even help him."

You Meng patted his back, "Who delivered the message?"

"Jingyan's subordinates."

"The subordinates can come, but where are the secretaries?"

“It’s been detained.”

Chen Qing's throat seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand. She stumbled forward and didn't even notice when her toes hit the corner of the table.

"Detain?" Her voice was distorted and hoarse, shocking Tang Xiaoming's face.

You Meng winked and helped Chen Qing sit down. "Just cooperate with the investigation, don't panic."

Chen Qing understood the nature of seizure. Generally, seizure would only be carried out after direct evidence was obtained. Contact with the outside world was prohibited to avoid collusion and transfer of assets.

Lian Zhuo was detained, and Jiang Jingyan's situation was not much better.

Chen Qing's eyes were covered with mist, and he pinched his thighs to steady himself, "Master Xiao, who captured you?"

Tang Xiaoming fiddled with his phone and said unhappily, "Does it matter who arrests them? Don't you know who ordered them to arrest you?"

He was too distraught to comfort anyone.

Chen Qing's eyes widened. "Yan Baiqing?"

You Meng put his arm around her shoulders and smoothed her messy hair. "We don't know the specific situation. The Yan family isn't the only force behind Mr. Jiang's plan. Young Master Xiao is just anxious, but he doesn't blame you."

Tang Xiaoming cursed under his breath and threw his cell phone away. He, who always took everything in a playful way, became extremely angry at this moment.

"I can't tell you. No one in the city has heard any news." He looked at Chen Qing, his attitude unyielding. "Contact Yan."

Chen Qing hurriedly took out his cell phone and stopped again.

“Hit him!”

Her tone was 50% firm and 50% confused, "I don't think now is a good time to contact him."

"Are you unwilling to break up with Yan Baiqing?"

Chen Qing didn't bother to argue with him and ran out.

Tang Xiaoming quickly grabbed her, tearing the collar of her clothes out of shape. "Just stay still. Haven't you caused enough trouble for him?"

You Meng patted his arm, "Let go!"

Chen Qing trembled in her arms, and even heard the sound of teeth chattering. "Mr. Xiao, I have a way. Let me out."
