Chapter 249 How can we let the Wei family off the hook?
Cui Xiao smiled, but upon closer inspection, one could see a bitter undertone in her smile.
"Thank you for your help, Nam Gyi."
At this moment, Cui Xiao didn't treat her as a guest of the law firm, but as a friend, a friend of his own.
The two walked towards the car, but as soon as they turned around, Xie Nanzhi felt a weight on her shoulder. She glanced to the side and realized she hadn't even noticed when he had arrived.
At this moment, Wei Chizheng had already draped his suit jacket over her shoulders.
After completing this series of actions, Wei Chizheng confidently took a half-step back. He was wearing a dark gray shirt and hadn't tied a tie in his haste to come out.
Wei Chizheng looked at her intently. "It's cold."
Xie Nanzhi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she subtly withdrew her gaze from Xie Nanzhi's.
This scene made Cui Xiao feel envious. "I had always heard them say that Mr. Wei favored Nanzhi to the extreme. Seeing it today, I can confirm that the rumors are true."
A lighthearted remark eased the somber mood; Xie Nanzhi quipped, "A person with a showy personality."
Cui Xiao, "I clearly love you to the core."
The three got into the car, and she didn't ask Cui Xiao why she had asked for help so late at night.
If it weren't for a last resort, Cui Xiao wouldn't have bothered her.
Xie Nanzhi chatted with her casually, deliberately avoiding the topic of Zhou Mubin. If she wasn't mistaken, the reason Cui Xiao was alone here in the middle of the night was probably related to Zhou Mubin.
The atmosphere was fairly good; at least by the time Cui Xiao was taken home, she seemed to have regained her composure.
On the way back, Xie Nanzhi sat in the passenger seat. After all that commotion, it was already past midnight.
While waiting at a red light, Wei Chizheng took her hand and asked, "Wife, are you sleepy?"
To be honest, I was sleepy when I first got home, but now that sleepiness has passed, I'm not sleepy at all. "I'm not sleepy, what's wrong?"
Wei Chizheng turned his head and asked, "Wife, do you want to go to the mountain to watch the sunrise?"
How could Xie Nanzhi bear to refuse such a rare romantic opportunity?
The two intertwined their fingers, and Xie Nanzhi smiled and said, "Okay."
Now drive to the foot of the mountain, and you can see the sunrise when you climb up.
However, watching the sunrise was just a pretext; Wei Chizheng really wanted to have a different experience with Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi didn't seem worried at all about the investigation into the Nanzheng Group. Xie Yuanyang asked her if the annual meeting would still be held on time.
Xie Nanzhi's reply was that everything would remain the same.
On the way down the mountain, Xie Nanzhi's eyelids kept drooping uncontrollably, so Wei Chizheng carried her down.
Xie Nanzhi woke up after being gently carried into the car.
Wei Chi asked with concern, "Did I wake you up?"
Xie Nanzhi shook her head. "No. I'll drive. You can take a nap."
Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard. Wei Chi carried Xie Nanzhi on his back, being very careful the whole way. The journey that should have taken half an hour took him more than an hour.
Xie Nanzhi had slept well, and she felt sorry for Wei Chizheng when she saw his bloodshot eyes.
The two were husband and wife, destined to spend their lives together, so Wei Chizheng didn't mince words with her. "Okay, I'll sleep for half an hour."
They switched places, and Xie Nanzhi started the car. Within minutes, she could hear the even breathing of the man beside her.
At the same time, Xie Nanzhi's phone vibrated.
The latest message is: "Mr. Nan, remember to rescue me."
The next one, which was also Su Mu's first, was: "Done."
The message was probably sent when we were going down the mountain, but Xie Nanzhi was asleep and didn't hear it.
Then, Xie Nanzhi swiped her finger to the left on the screen and pressed the delete button.
After clearing the messages, Xie Nanzhi closed her phone and put it back in her pocket.
More than an hour later, the car arrived at the villa.
Xie Nanzhi woke Wei Chizheng up. He opened his eyes, his eyes slightly bloodshot. "Rest well at home today."
Xie Nanzhi hadn't even unbuckled her seatbelt. "I'm going to the company today."
Wei Chizheng, his curiosity piqued and his drowsiness dispelled, asked, "Going to the company, is this preparation for closing the net?"
Others might not understand, but Wei Chizheng saw it very clearly: Xie Nanzhi was never at a disadvantage; she was simply playing along with his scheme.
Xie Nanzhi smiled. "Smart."
Hearing her say that, Wei Chizheng fastened his seatbelt again. "It would be a bit unfair of President Nan not to take me with him."
Xie Nanzhi looked back at Wei Chizheng, "Then let's go together."
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xie Nanzhi arrived at Nanzheng Group and received a call from her superiors.
The investigation into Nanzheng Group has concluded, and it is permitted to continue operations from today.
Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chi entered the building, but she only notified Xie Yuanyang and a few senior executives.
Before 10 a.m., Nanzheng Group received an uninvited guest.
Wei Huaibo.
And his good grandson.
Xie Yuanyang stood next to Xie Nanzhi, who remained seated throughout, her arrogance mirroring that of Wei Chizheng.
Wei Huaibo looked at the woman in front of him. In just a few years, her temperament had changed so much.
It has to be admitted that it's no wonder that her son and grandson still remember her fondly, given her broad vision and capabilities.
Xie Nanzhi leaned back gently, her fingertips seemingly casually brushing across the table. "What brings the two members of the Wei family here?"
Wei Huaibo's face darkened, seemingly ashamed. "Xie Nanzhi, for the sake of the two children, you shouldn't have been so ruthless towards the Wei family."
Xie Nanzhi chuckled, "What are you saying, Mr. Wei? I'm just a woman, how could I have that ability? Besides, I'm barely able to take care of myself, how could I have the energy to do anything else?"
Xie Yuanyang said sarcastically, "Yes, our General Manager Nan has been busy with tax issues lately. He's lost weight these past few days, and he even has red veins on his face. Old Wei, you can't wrongly accuse someone."
Wei Huaibo gritted his teeth in anger and took a deep breath.
He orchestrated the tax problems of Nanzheng Group, including the employee who filed the whistleblower complaint.
These days, it's much easier to smear someone than to prove your innocence. Besides, he doesn't believe that a company as big as Nanzheng Group is completely free of tax problems.
Every investigation will be accurate.
Wei Huaibo wanted to embroil Xie Nanzhi in a public opinion storm, firstly to suppress her arrogance, and secondly because she might face imprisonment due to tax issues.
In this way, he could easily gain custody of the two children.
Unexpectedly, Xie Nanzhi had already obtained evidence from the beginning that the employee who made the real-name report was acting under someone else's instructions. She had been holding back all this time, just to deliver a heavy blow to the Wei family.
The person who instigated this revealed that the mastermind behind it was Wei Huaibo. Not only that, several large companies that had been relying on Wei's business suddenly turned against him, willing to pay huge sums in compensation rather than breach their contract and cease cooperation.
Combined with Xie Nanzhi's previous methods, this series of measures immediately reduced the Wei family's annual revenue by 50%.
Furthermore, the news that Wei Huaibo instigated his subordinates to frame others has not yet been fully exposed. Presumably, Wei's stock price will plummet tomorrow, with a conservative estimate of losing hundreds of billions.
Wei Huaibo suppressed his anger and asked, "President Nan, how can we let the Wei family off the hook?"
Xie Nanzhi suddenly looked at Pei Jingchuan, her eyes filled with a coldness that seemed to contain a block of ice. "If President Wei is willing to put aside family ties for the greater good, I might consider it."
