Chapter 62 Pretending to be sick when you're not is not a good habit!
Chen Yi was very familiar with the leader; he was the son of Liu Chengxin's subordinate and mortal enemy.
Well, your dad's always causing trouble for my husband, Lao Liu, and now his son's doing just that.
No matter how much she complained in her heart, Chen Yi still managed to keep a straight face.
"Xiao Xu, you must be Vice Minister Xu's son, right? I saw you in your father's office last week. Do you think this is a misunderstanding? Private deals? We would never do such a thing. Besides, given my family's situation, we don't need to."
The meaning behind her words was very clear: first, your father works under my husband, so you should be careful in your actions; second, she explained that the private transaction was definitely a frame-up, and you should find the culprit instead of causing trouble for them.
Xu Zhenghu was a shrewd man; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the director of the Revolutionary Committee in his early twenties. He understood Chen Yi's meaning, but...
Xu Zheng forced a stiff smile, and his words were utterly disrespectful.
"Aunt Chen is just joking. Without solid evidence, our Revolutionary Committee wouldn't dare to barge into your Liu family's door."
The higher-ups take this matter very seriously. When I came, the leader emphasized that we absolutely cannot be given special treatment. I'm just following orders.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's heart, which had been pounding in her chest, sank completely.
It seems someone from above is targeting the Liu family. Who could it be?
Chen Yi mentally went through all the families that had a grudge against her.
The Wang family? The Cheng family?
Before she could figure it out, Xu Zhenghu ordered his men to take action.
"Aunt Chen, I'm so sorry, someone come and take her away!"
"No need, we can walk by ourselves, don't touch me." As expected of the Revolutionary Committee members, they still dared to act like this even knowing the identities of the two women.
The men Xu Zhenghu ordered acted in a particularly improper manner, with several even attempting to touch the two men's private parts.
"Xiao Xu, there's no need for that." Chen Yi's tone wasn't very good, and Mrs. Jiang was also quite annoyed by the group's actions.
Having lived most of my life, this is the first time anyone has dared to treat her like this.
"Aunt Chen, please cooperate a little. These are the rules issued from above. You lot, behave yourselves properly. Can't you see that Aunt Chen is unhappy?"
"Haha, okay, we'll definitely do as the boss says."
It would have been better if they hadn't said anything, because this order only made their actions even more outrageous.
Some even tried to tie the two people's limbs together and drag them along the ground.
"How dare you? Put it down! I told you to put it down, do you hear me?" Seeing that her sister-in-law's hands and feet had been grabbed by these people, Mrs. Jiang was furious and kept shouting.
"What are you doing? Put them down right now!"
Seeing his wife and sister being humiliated like this by these people, Liu Chengxin was about to go crazy with anger.
"Uncle Liu?" Xu Zhenghu asked in surprise. Wasn't it said that Liu Chengxin had been held up? Why would he come back at this time?
When he saw Madam Tan following Liu Chengxin in, he was not only panicked, but also terrified.
Why would this female Yama (the King of Hell) come to the Liu family?
"Mrs. Tan?"
"Xu Zhenghu, is that it? You've got some nerve, trespassing on private property and humiliating a cadre's family member. You can't afford to take that charge, and I wonder if your father, Xu Weilai, can either?"
Mrs. Tan's voice wasn't loud, and her tone was even calm, but Xu Zhenghu was still terrified.
"Madam Tan, no, I didn't, we received orders from our superiors..." Xu Zhenghu tried to struggle a bit, but Madam Tan stopped him immediately.
"Orders from above? Where's the document? Show it to me."
"this……"
"What, nothing? Then this matter is even more serious. We need to add the charge of slandering an official. Xiao Li, take him away. As for those rabble behind him, call the chief of the Beijing Police Bureau and ask him how he handled things."
If you don't want to sit here, then get out of here.
Xu Zhenghu didn't dare to struggle at all. Compared to his arrogance just now, he was like a wilted eggplant.
How could he not be dejected? Falling into Madam Tan's hands, she could fabricate charges even if he wasn't guilty, let alone the fact that he was caught red-handed.
This is truly the end. Not only are my own future and my father's career ruined, but I don't even know if the legacy left by our ancestors can be preserved.
"Mrs. Tan, thank you so much for today." Liu Chengxin said sincerely. If it weren't for Mrs. Tan, things wouldn't have been resolved so easily.
"If you don't have anything to say, there's no need to say more. I'm not doing charity work. I help you because you have value."
"Little Li, bring it here." Madam Tan clapped her hands.
Secretary Li brought over a stack of documents, and Mrs. Tan began to speak slowly and deliberately.
"My request isn't unreasonable. Just provide me with five bottles of your skincare products every month. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Mrs. Tan glanced at the three people standing in front of her.
"Of course, no problem."
Liu Chengxin sighed inwardly. It was truly a case of being made and ruined by skincare products. He really didn't know what magic those products had.
...
"Brother, it's obvious that someone is plotting against our family behind the scenes. Xixi's skincare products are already few in number, and almost all of them are used to build relationships. Where would there be any left to sell to others?"
The group sat on the sofa and carefully reviewed the incident.
"Let's go to the hospital. Talk is cheap. Once we find out whether this lady had an allergic reaction to our skincare products, everything will be resolved."
This is not just about a skincare product; on a larger scale, it's related to the reputation of the Liu family and Liu Chengxin.
If this isn't handled properly, it will become a prime target for others to attack Liu Chengxin during the next ministerial election.
...
"Did you buy your skincare products from our store?"
In the hospital ward, Mrs. Jiang looked at the woman wrapped up like a mummy with great astonishment.
Chen Yi, who was standing to the side, also had her lips trembling.
Good heavens, this thing has its ankles wrapped in gauze. Is it an allergic reaction in its ankles?
Thinking back to the cautious way her friends used skincare products when she visited their homes a few days ago, Chen Yi became even more certain of her suspicions.
"Yes, oh? No, I had someone buy it from your store."
How many bottles did you buy?
"It seems like one bottle, no, it's two bottles, I remember now, it's three bottles."
Chen Yi subtly probed her for answers, and after hearing the answer she wanted, she smiled.
"Three bottles? We can only buy one bottle of skincare products at most. No, we don't sell anything. These skincare products are all given as gifts to relatives and friends. As for where your skincare products come from, I think you know better than us."
Wang Diyou, who was lying in bed pretending to be weak, was secretly groaning in his heart.
What was all this about? But when she thought about what her family had promised her husband, Wang Diyou became stunned again.
"This is outrageous! Officials are bullying ordinary people!..."
Before she could finish wailing, the door to the ward was opened again.
The person who arrived was Liu Chengxin; he had just gone to investigate the woman's background.
"Wang Diyou, the eighth young lady of the third branch of the Wang family. Miss Wang, faking illness when you're not sick is not a good habit!"
