She had finally figured it out, and a weight was lifted off her shoulders. "Sigh! A-Che is very capable, so it's not surprising that he was noticed by the higher-ups. It's just that it puts a lot of pressure on the family's mindset!"
To be honest, I almost got caught up in it myself! If I had been any more impulsive...
She was embarrassed to admit that Director Mu's threat had indeed made her consider using the old man's network of connections, but after thinking it over, she decided against it and stopped herself from doing so.
Mr. Xiao chuckled and said, "You'll get used to it. When someone in the family takes a position, we family members will have many different experiences."
After all, national security is paramount!
The Japanese invaders were so devastated because there were too many traitors who turned against them. This was a desperate measure taken by the country after learning from the lessons of that time.
Therefore, he agreed with this move, as did the old man, so he stayed in another place without insisting on returning.
"Dinner's ready, sweetie. You've been busy for days, come and eat! Mom made your favorite dishes!"
Xiao's mother had overheard their conversation and understood the truth of the matter, which made her truly happy.
"Alright, let's eat! Huanhuan has to work overtime today, let's have her go home and stay there, so she doesn't have to go back and forth and get exhausted!"
Mentioning Lin Huan, Xiao's mother's face lit up with a smile. "That's right, it's all thanks to this child and Liu Liu's care. Otherwise, how could we two old folks have recovered so easily!"
Mentioning Liu Liu brought another pang of pain to their hearts. If it weren't for the late hour and Nannan's insistence that they not run back, they would have just returned to the city to see the child.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, Liu Liu is fine now. Her godfather and the others are taking care of her. I'll be going back tomorrow."
After having dinner and washing up, Bai Yajing returned to her room and stood by the window, gazing at the starry sky.
With mixed feelings, is this a test? If this is indeed a test, then she has two choices: whether to run around proving her husband's innocence or to wait for the organization to find out the truth.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered what her grandfather often said: "One should be like bamboo, straight on the outside and hollow on the inside, preferring to break rather than bend."
At that moment, she had her answer.
He found the paper Wu Zhiyuan had sent, and without even looking at the phone number on it, he set it on fire.
Two weeks later, Bai Yajing was summoned to the Discipline Inspection Commission again.
This time, Director Mu's attitude softened considerably.
"Comrade Bai Yajing, our investigation has made new progress." Director Mu pushed over a file bag. "This is the family income and expenditure statement you provided. After verification, it does indeed contradict the information in your report."
Sigh, the Bai family is indeed wealthy. He disagreed with the initial offer of 30,000. With the Bai family's financial resources, they really wouldn't care about that amount of money. But the higher-ups said that if the offer was too high, it would be fake! After all, 30,000 is nothing to the Bai family, but it's a huge sum for others!
In reality, the maximum amount of kickbacks one can embezzle is limited to these; anything more is impossible. The black market boss isn't stupid; why would he forgo his own capital and profits?
Bai Yajing showed no surprise upon hearing this: "So... my husband is innocent?"
"The investigation is ongoing." Director Mu looked at her meaningfully, "However, we've noticed a very interesting phenomenon—during the investigation of your husband, quite a few people have tried to help."
Bai Yajing's heart skipped a beat: "What does Director Mu mean by this?"
It seems that not all of those opponents can remain calm...
"Someone tried to interfere with the investigation through connections," Director Mu said slowly. "But you, Comrade Bai, although you were very anxious, you never resorted to any improper means."
Your reaction is simply to check the records and ledgers from that year in an attempt to find evidence to prove Xiao Che's innocence.
Even your Xiao family and Bai family's connections weren't touched, and the organization appreciates that.
Bai Yajing understood what he meant, and a weight lifted from her heart. Her eyes welled up slightly with tears: "I...I just believe the truth will come to light. I believe the organization wouldn't wrongly accuse someone without reason."
She gritted her teeth and secretly glared at Director Mu. This old man was a superb actor and extremely cunning. Last time, even she was almost fooled by him!
If she had actually believed his lies that day and done something she shouldn't have, he would be giving a completely different story today!
