After being severely beaten by Xu Hongmei yesterday, Zhang Tingting has become completely obedient and no longer has the arrogant and domineering attitude she used to have.
She came out of the room and saw Xu Hongmei sitting on the sofa, her face calm and a smile on her lips, seemingly in a good mood. Only then did she muster up the courage to walk over and timidly ask, "Mom, um... how did things go?"
Xu Hongmei glanced at her sideways and snorted.
"With your mother on the case, is there anything I can't handle? Don't worry, your father will be out in a few days."
She was so confident because she had destroyed all the evidence from back then.
Even if Ye Linchen were to report it, he wouldn't have any real evidence; at most, he'd only have some irrelevant bits and pieces.
Moreover, those who were involved back then have long been dealt with by her, so who would dare to gossip?
Therefore, in her view, Ye Linchen's report was nothing but empty talk and a bluff.
Even if the disciplinary committee wanted to investigate, they wouldn't find anything useful.
As long as the Ye family withdraws their report, the disciplinary committee's investigation will naturally come to an end, and her husband will be able to get out unscathed.
However, after this incident, Xu Hongmei finally understood.
My precious daughter's personality is too outgoing; I can't let her run wild outside anymore.
Otherwise, if Ye Linchen reports them today, and Wang Linchen or Li Linchen reports them tomorrow, the Zhang family can't afford the trouble.
Thinking of this, she looked up at Zhang Tingting, her tone softening.
“Tingting, once this matter is resolved, you don’t need to study at Jiangcheng University anymore. Mom will go abroad with you.”
She believed that as long as Zhang Tingting was kept under her watchful eye, nothing serious would happen.
Zhang Tingting was reluctant to go abroad.
She doesn't speak English well, so she can't understand what people are saying when she goes out, and she can't take her subordinates with her. Who will help her with her work?
What if a foreigner bullies her?
"Mom, didn't you say you could handle things? Why did you go abroad? There are foreigners everywhere; I'm not used to it at all."
"Do you think this is a vegetable market, trying to haggle with me? Let me tell you, there's no going back. Go and get ready; we'll leave as soon as the paperwork is done." She narrowed her eyes, guessing, "Probably in the next day or two."
Although Zhang Tingting was extremely unwilling, she could only pout and go back to her room.
What Xu Hongmei never expected was that Ye Linchen had no intention of letting the Zhang family go.
Not only did she not withdraw her report, she also obtained a large amount of evidence of corruption and bribery by the Zhang family.
In particular, all the evidence of Xu Hongmei bribing the Ye family in an attempt to buy off the Ye family members was sent to the Discipline Inspection Commission.
That evening, Xu Hongmei received another call. When she heard the news, she felt as if she had been hit on the head with a club, and her vision went black.
A surge of anger rushed to her head, burning her internal organs with pain.
"Smack!"
Xu Hongmei bent down and ruthlessly swept the entire set of expensive blue and white porcelain teaware off the coffee table and onto the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The teacup and teapot shattered into pieces, shards flying everywhere, and scalding hot tea spilled all over the floor.
Zhang Tingting, who was sitting next to her, was startled and screamed repeatedly. She quickly moved aside, afraid of being splashed by the shards.
"This Ye family has truly gone too far! They've got some nerve, daring to trick me!"
"No, we can't just let it go like this!"
Xu Hongmei picked up the phone with a livid face. Just as she was about to call her lawyer, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
The sound was urgent and heavy, as if it were about to smash the door.
Xu Hongmei felt a sudden sense of foreboding.
Only her confidants knew about this rented room; she didn't tell anyone else.
Her confidants were far away in the capital and dared not come without her orders.
So who could be knocking on the door?
Zhang Tingting didn't think much of it and ran to open the door.
"Wait! Find out who it is before you start!" Xu Hongmei shouted.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Zhang Tingting had already opened the door.
Several discipline inspection officials in uniform were standing outside the door.
Zhang Tingting sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to close the door.
A staff member reacted quickly, blocking the door with one hand to prevent her from closing it, while his other hand swiftly pulled out an ID from his pocket and showed it to Zhang Tingting.
“We are from the Discipline Inspection Commission, this is my identification.”
"We have received a report that Comrade Xu Hongmei is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Zhang Tingting's eyes widened as she looked at the words on the document, then turned her head and looked at Xu Hongmei in a panic.
Xu Hongmei slowly stood up from the sofa, her heart sinking to the bottom.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
I'm afraid I'm doomed this time.
What she didn't know was that the Discipline Inspection Commission had been watching her ever since the day she left Beijing.
However, at the time they did not have any solid evidence, so they did not take any action and could only secretly monitor her movements.
Now that Ye Linchen's report materials have arrived, he immediately and swiftly issued an order to arrest Xu Hongmei and bring her back to Beijing for investigation.
Xu Hongmei did not struggle or resist, and cooperated fully with the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
She smiled and looked at the staff.
“You must have made a mistake. I did nothing. Those so-called accusations are slander against me. However, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation. I believe the organization will find out the truth and give me justice.”
Zhang Tingting, however, was not as calm as her. She rushed forward in terror, grabbed her tightly, and wouldn't let her leave, yelling at the staff.
