Chapter 276 Shen Minghui is under investigation!
Deng Qian was pulled and lost her balance. She steadied herself by holding onto the table with her other hand. She and He Wei looked at each other, but she was thinking about how to answer the question.
"I..." Deng Qian swallowed her words, "What does this have to do with you?"
He Wei scoffed, "Of course it's related. If love is about fulfilling someone's wishes, then can you help me win over Chu Rou and then let us be together?"
"You're crazy!" Deng Qian broke free from her wrist. "Chu Rou will never come back to you in this lifetime."
"Mo Chi is younger than you, richer than you, and most importantly, cleaner than you. You not only slept with He Yin, but you also slept with me. What makes you think you can compare to Mo Chi? If I were Chu Rou, I would choose Mo Chi over you!"
He Wei's eyes twitched slightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He stood up and looked down at Deng Qian.
Deng Qian panicked. She was angry at herself for speaking without thinking, which had clearly angered He Wei. She was even more afraid of provoking He Wei to have an attack.
She took two steps back, licked her lips, and tasted the salty, metallic taste of blood. "He Wei, I just want to wake you up and stop provoking Chu Rou. Mo Chi has already made a strong statement. If it happens again, he won't tolerate it. You can't beat the Mo family."
He Wei took a step forward, closing in on Deng Qian. His face was clearly filled with anger, yet a smile lingered on his lips. He reached out and grabbed the back of Deng Qian's neck. "You're the one who proposed a marriage of convenience with me. You know all about my past. He Yin is just a tool I need to vent my negative emotions."
"And what about you? In the hotel, you took off your clothes and let me have my way with you. Now you're saying I'm unclean? That you think I'm dirty? Are you trying to provoke me with these words because you're itchy?"
"I didn't..." Deng Qian was frightened by He Wei's gaze, and she tried to calm him down with a trembling voice.
He Wei lowered his head and kissed Deng Qian's lips, but it was more like a bite than a kiss.
Deng Qian's lower lip was already broken, and after He Wei's brutal kiss, the break was torn even wider, and the taste of blood filled both of their mouths.
He Wei was like a leopard out of control. He lifted Deng Qian's skirt, tore her panties, and forcefully penetrated her body.
Gone is the gentleness and consideration from before; He Wei is punishing Deng Qian for her rude remarks.
It hurts! It hurts even more than the first time.
The physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional pain. Deng Qian closed her eyes, enduring the agony inflicted upon her by the person she loved behind her.
...
Chu Rou had only been back in City C for a few days when she received a message from Shen Luo: Shen Minghui was under investigation!
An anonymous tip-off accused Shen Minghui of embezzlement and bribery.
There was no substantial evidence; it was simply because Shen Minghui wore and used designer brands, which was inconsistent with his income.
The matter reached the provincial level, and an investigation team was dispatched to investigate Shen Minghui.
After learning the news, Chu Rou was very worried and called Shi Jingman to inquire about the situation.
"Mom, is Uncle Chen alright?"
Shi Jingman said calmly, "It's alright. He's on vacation now and has plenty of free time. He just spends his days in the study wiping the big vase that the inkstone gave him."
"If your feet are straight, you have nothing to fear. Let them investigate. Your Uncle Chen can take a break and stay home with me."
Chu Rou understood. Her Uncle Shen had been falsely accused. As long as he hadn't done it, he wasn't afraid of being investigated.
"Mom, if you need anything from me or Mo Chi, just give me a call anytime."
"Okay, don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Shi Jingman leaned on Shen Minghui's shoulder, looking worried. "Honey, are you really alright?"
"If others don't believe me, don't you believe me?" Shen Minghui patted Shi Jingman on the shoulder. "All I've brought home over the years is my salary and the returns from my investments. I haven't had any other windfall."
Shi Jingman nodded, "I know all that. I'm just worried that the people who are trying to harm you behind your back might come up with some more underhanded tricks."
"He won't be able to keep this up for long."
Shen Minghui narrowed his eyes. He had wasted a few days trying to find out more about Zhang Gang's matter, but before he could submit his report, Zhang Gang had already attacked him.
But this is good, it saves him the trouble of making a trip. Since an investigation team is coming down, they can check everyone's information.
The review team first investigated Shen Minghui's workplace but found no problems.
Then they checked Shen Minghui's personal assets, and all of them could be traced back to their origins.
Finally, an investigation was conducted into Shen Minghui's personal belongings, and it was found that he indeed possessed many high-end luxury items.
The investigation team spoke with Shen Minghui, "Director Shen, can you explain where these luxury goods came from? And the antique vase in your home, we had it appraised, it's worth tens of millions."
"How much?" Shen Minghui asked in surprise. He only knew that the vase was an antique and wouldn't be cheap, so he thought it would cost over a million. He never expected it to be worth tens of millions.
He dared not wipe it again; he would be heartbroken if he accidentally damaged it.
“A conservative estimate would be ten million,” a member of the review team said. “Don’t you even know the value of this antique?”
"I don't know, it wasn't me who bought it." Shen Minghui calmed down and his attitude became peaceful.
"Was that a gift from someone else?" The members of the review team's eyes lit up; they had found a breakthrough!
Shen Minghui glanced at the two people opposite him. "It was a gift from my son-in-law. Is there a problem?"
Before the two people opposite him could speak, Shen Minghui continued, "And the luxury goods I use, some were gifts from my son, and some were gifts from my son's girlfriend."
"What do your son, his girlfriend, and your son-in-law do?"
Shen Minghui was just waiting for them to ask. He straightened his back and answered calmly, "My eldest son is a lawyer and runs his own law firm in City C. My younger son is a student at the University of Science and Technology of China. Both of their girlfriends are rich heiresses from City D."
“My stepdaughter is now the vice president of the Mo Group in City B. Her husband, who is also the son-in-law who gave me the antique, is the vice president of the Mo Group, and the youngest son of the Mo Group’s big boss.”
“The children are all successful and I don’t have to worry about them. I just support their education and help them grow into successful individuals. They want to show their respect to me by giving me expensive luxury items.”
"Sigh!" Shen Minghui sighed heavily. "I should be more low-key in this position, but I can't let the children down. I'm afraid of hurting their feelings, so I had no choice but to use everything I could."
"I just didn't expect that by using the gifts the children gave me, I would hurt other people's self-esteem. Some people's descendants are really not up to any good, so they have to falsely accuse me of embezzlement and bribery."
“I have enough money to spend, enough to eat and drink, and I don’t need to subsidize the children, so why should I live in fear and do illegal things?”
The two people opposite them were speechless with shock!
Which idiot reported this? Didn't they even check before reporting it? Shen Minghui has already fallen into a gold mine, what reason does he have to embezzle money!
