Chapter 233: One wave after another
With Lin Xiao's shouting, Jiang Wanning switched the call interface to the latest hot news.
When I saw a sea of red followed by numerous headlines with the word "explosion", my pupils suddenly shrank.
The internet has been buzzing with controversy lately about the major changes within the Jiang Group.
At this moment, all the entries about these things disappeared from the news section in an instant, and were replaced by another explosive news.
Jiang Wanning slid her finger across the screen and scanned it roughly.
All of them were negative news about Chen Canghui.
News such as [The rumored jade master Mr. Chen actually made his fortune by making imitations], [Jade with a raw material value of less than 100 yuan was sold at a sky-high price of one million yuan, has Mr. Chen crossed the legal red line], [Shocking news: A top master in the jade carving world once betrayed his master...], once they emerged, quickly occupied the headlines of major news.
The more Jiang Wanning read the content, the more frightened she became.
If she could still regard the news that occupied the first and second places on the hot word list as gossip, the speculations about the identities of Chen Canghui and even Chen Haishu that were later dug out by some paparazzi made Jiang Wanning shocked.
After all, Jiang Wanning only had a rough understanding of these speculations about the two people's true identities not long ago.
The person who is spreading this news now obviously knows the exact news earlier than Jiang Wanning.
But they chose to expose it at this juncture. What is their purpose?
Or perhaps...
Jiang Wanning inadvertently stroked the jade seal that she had just obtained from Chen Haishu not long ago, and her eyes became gloomy for a moment.
Or maybe someone knew something and deliberately spread rumors at this juncture in order to sow discord between her and Chen Haisheng.
If this is true, then the "traitors" mixed in with them are too scary, aren't they?
While thinking about this, Jiang Wanning received another call from Aunt An at the villa.
"Miss, when will you and the Second Young Master be back?"
The middle-aged woman's tone was filled with uncontrollable anxiety: "Just now, a group of police came to our house. They seemed to have accused Ms. Chen of some crime and forcibly took her away!"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Wanning stiffened in disbelief.
At the same time, his eyes narrowed dangerously at this moment.
The current situation is really one crisis after another.
…
When Jiang Wanning rushed back to the villa in Xingguo, Chen Canghui was no longer at home.
Chen Haishu sat dejectedly on the sofa. Compared to the last time he appeared, he looked as if his soul had been sucked away.
Seeing Jiang Wanning coming over, his tone became even more dejected: "How could this happen... Cang Hui and I were clearly ready to leave..."
The old man paused after he finished speaking, as if he remembered something, and his voice sounded even more regretful.
"I should have thought of this earlier. I should have known that these people wouldn't let it go so easily...!"
"By doing this, they're clearly trying to destroy Cang Hui!... How is this any different from destroying her!?"
Speaking of this, Chen Haishu seemed to hate his own incompetence. As he punched the coffee table in front of him, his expression was full of regret.
"Grandpa Chen..."
Jiang Wanning also glanced around the house at this time, and not surprisingly saw traces of several people in the living room who had been dragged and argued by the police.
"The police took Grandma Cang Hui away. Did they say what crime they were charging her with?"
Hearing Jiang Wanning's question, Chen Haishu finally looked up from his dejection and glanced at her: "Suspected of counterfeiting and selling inferior counterfeit goods... and a suspect in the Star Lord Hotel explosion case."
Many unexpected charges.
If we talk about every case that has been confirmed, what awaits Chen Canghui is an irreparable end.
At this point, Jiang Wanning finally understood that perhaps they were careless from the very beginning, and they were the ones who kidnapped Chen Canghui and then returned her.
The purpose from the beginning to the end was not just to prevent her from working in this industry anymore, but from the very beginning, he was prepared to ruin her reputation and destroy her completely!
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanning felt a little regretful. If it had been when Chen Canghui was just sent back.
She would have been able to pay more attention to the two elderly people in her busy schedule, instead of naively thinking that the matter would end so easily.
Wouldn’t it be possible that Chen Canghui would not be taken away again today?
Or maybe, if she had persuaded Chen Canghui to surrender from the beginning, instead of being soft-hearted and wanting to wait until the old man's hands were healed before discussing the matter, would the situation waiting for Chen Canghui now be less difficult or even hopeless?
But regretting it all now is obviously meaningless.
Jiang Wanning moved her lips dryly: "It was done by the police over there. My second brother is a lawyer. He should be able to contact the local police and get Grandma Cang Hui released on bail first. We can discuss the rest later..."
"It's too late."
Jiang Wanning was interrupted by Chen Haishu before she could finish her words.
She stopped talking abruptly when she saw Chen Haishu handing her a document with a look of despair.
"The other party came prepared." Chen Haishu's old voice became extremely hoarse at this moment.
"This is the plaintiff's lawsuit and evidence regarding Cang Hui's involvement in counterfeit jade artifacts over the years."
"When I was in charge of the family, I had some understanding of this aspect... I can see that the lawyer those people hired is a very powerful guy..."
"Before you came back, I took a quick look at the evidence. There's not a single logical flaw in the evidence listed. Even a single piece of it would be enough to make Cang Hui's life come to an end."
"not to mention."
Chen Haishu sighed: "These things... are indeed true..."
"The legal procedures in Singapore are different from ours. Since the lawsuit has been filed there, the court will go to court within three days at the latest."
Unless Jiang Wanning can successfully bail Chen Canghui out within three days, by then, there will be no room for redemption...
And it is just as Chen Haishu said just now.
These people must have planned all this as early as when they decided to send Chen Canghui back.
The myriad evidences listed in the indictment actually all include the time and entire process of all the counterfeit production that Chen Canghui participated in voluntarily or forcedly over the years. This is definitely not something that could be completed overnight.
"Under the current circumstances, unless we can convince the other party's lawyer that their evidence is actually fabricated, there's no way to turn the situation around..."
"But since they came prepared, how could their lawyer easily turn against us..."
Seeing that Chen Haishu was in despair, an extremely cold voice suddenly came from behind them.
"I'll go talk to him."
