Chapter 104 Exposure
He Sang climbed down with a red face and sat with his back to him.
Police cars drove into the factory building. The fire was still burning and only a broken shell remained of the brick building.
The mess on the ground frightened Gu Jianghai so much that his face turned pale. He stumbled through the reeds and said, "He Sang—"
His eyes lit up, "In the southeast!"
More than a dozen police officers gathered around, their flashlights focused on one spot, making it as bright as daylight.
“Amitabha—” He gasped, “It’s good to be alive, it’s good to be alive!”
Gu Jianghai searched all the way here, wishing he had wings to fly away. If He Sang died in the territory under his jurisdiction, it would be a top-tier case.
She is somewhat famous in the drama circle and has a close relationship with Liang Jishen. Moreover, in all homicide cases, whenever a young girl is killed, public opinion will be unprecedentedly high.
There hasn't been a major case in Chang'an District in twenty years.
"Are you hurt?" Gu Jianghai helped He Sang up. The wound on her throat was shallow and scabbed over, with congealed blood on the surface of her skin. "Let's go to the hospital for an X-ray. We don't want to leave a scar."
The subordinates supported Liang Chihui. His injuries were slightly serious, with his elbows and jaw scraped.
"Where are the kidnappers?"
"Xiao Li is leading the hunt." Gu Jianghai hesitated, "Sending a message to Hebei Province?"
Liang Chihui glanced at He Sang, she said nothing and twisted her fingers.
So pitiful.
"Keep it a secret, I'm fine."
Gu Jianghai also glanced at He Sang, "What about you?"
She shook her head. "It's okay."
He Sang knew very well that Liang Chihui needed at least a few days of recuperation for his injury and he should return to Hebei Province, where the medical facilities were good and it would be convenient for him to go home. He chose to conceal it just to accommodate her.
Could such a gentle, considerate, and gentlemanly man be Feng Zhikui's protector? Would he allow the Guanghe Group to commit so many evil deeds?
Too many questions and too many indescribable emotions grew and expanded in her body. She pressed her chest anxiously and followed Gu Jianghai into the car.
Liang Chihui got into the second police car, lay sideways on the seat, and stared at the car in front.
There was a rugged and narrow road on the way down the mountain, and the police car slowed down to avoid a rear-end collision. Gu Jianghai's car was driving normally and disappeared in an instant.
While turning around, Huang Biao called, "Mr. Liang, are you looking for me?"
The driver was a newly graduated trainee police officer who had not yet learned the ropes. Noticing that Liang Chihui was being very cautious, he proactively swerved and pulled over to the side of the road, then got out of the car to check the fuel tank.
The police cars behind passed by one after another.
"You are tired of living."
Huang Biao's forehead was sweating. "Boss Liang, did I do something wrong?"
Liang Chihui stared at the convoy at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Guanghe Group went public again, but why didn't they even change their name?"
"I warned him, but he wouldn't listen!" Huang Biao trembled with fear. "He arranged for his thugs to intercept He Jinping's daughter. You were in the car... I also knew about that."
Liang Chihui sneered, "He is so bold."
"Mr. Liang, Zeng Mingwei's wife is a friend of Miss He. She's meddling in other people's business and insists on investigating Guanghe Group. Please save Zhikui. He's my cousin's only son, and she's seventy years old..."
Before Huang Biao finished speaking, Liang Chihui hung up.
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises.
The day after the kidnapping, the photos that Susu took secretly were exposed.
Not only this part, but also in the open space of the western suburbs factory building, He Sang "riding" on Liang Chihui's waist, with his clothes disheveled and passionate towards each other, was secretly photographed.
Judging from the angle of the photo, the person who took the photo had ambushed in the reeds in advance.
The news first came out from the Zhang Group. Zhang and Liang were sworn enemies, and Zhang's close business partners also began to spread the news.
Although Liang Chihui was not a public figure and would not make the news, his title as one of the four young masters of Hebei Province was very famous, and it also caused a stir in the upper class.
Those powerful and wealthy colleagues who disliked the Liang family, were jealous of Liang Jing, and had suffered great losses at the hands of Liang Jishen, all caught up with him and teased him to their heart's content at the wine table, in the club, and at the card game.
The banter was almost out of control.
Some said that the Liang family looked down on actors, and Liang Chihui was obsessed with He Sang, so he transferred He Sang to another province for a tryst. This time they went to a warehouse in the western suburbs for a tryst. When the passion reached its climax, for some unknown reason, the factory building caught fire, and the two hugged each other and jumped off the building. They suffered some minor injuries, and even alarmed the police.
Some also said that He Sang was gifted in matters between men and women. He was pure in appearance, playful, had a flexible body and a nimble tongue, and completely captivated the playboy Liang Ergongzi.
The rumors intensified. Hu Dafa had been sulking in frustration when he couldn't get what he wanted. Now that He Sang was hooking up with the Liang family, he didn't dare to openly make things difficult for her, but he fanned the flames. He booked VIP tickets and waited for He Sang to perform in "Lust, Caution" on stage. He excitedly booed loudly, "Why are you playing Wang Jiazhi? Show us how you seduce men!"
He Sang was in poor condition and only performed for one-third of the role, so a female B-role substitute was substituted.
Dean Huang personally went backstage to comfort her and approved a long vacation for her so that she could avoid the limelight and then perform again.
Liang Chihui was recuperating in a hotel and needed someone to take care of him. It was difficult to hire a short-term nanny, and the hospital nurses were concerned that he was a man and were unwilling to go to the hotel to accompany him day and night.
He Sang considered it over and over again and agreed to take a leave.
......
This uproar also caused an earthquake in China Overseas Group.
Liang Jishen turned down four meetings within two days, and refused entry to everyone from committee members to security guards.
He Sang called at noon.
It rang seven or eight times, but he didn't answer and just hung up.
When the call came again, Liang Jishen turned off his phone.
Cheng Xun didn't even eat a single bite of the lunch he ordered.
"Mr. Liang, is the food not to your liking?"
He stared at his phone with a blank expression.
The Third Secretary brewed a cup of tea, his favorite Lu'an Guapian tea, and said, "Deputy Secretary Liang, please cool down."
Liang Jishen wasn't familiar with the Third Secretary, and since he had just recruited him into his team, he wanted to give him some face. He pointed at the desk and said, "Put it down."
The third secretary handed over the report from the finance department, "Project payment—please review it."
Liang Jishen flipped through it and found that the amount of repayment was half of what he expected.
"Isn't it 60 million?"
"The province's tax revenue last year was half of the year before, and due to financial difficulties, it paid an initial payment of 30 million."
The man frowned, untied his tie with one hand, and picked up the phone with the other.
Zhonghai Group has four internal lines: one directly connected to the secretariat, one directly to the board of directors, one directly to the municipal government, and one directly to the provincial government. When Lao Zhang arrived at his office, he angrily said, "Ji Shen, what are you doing? Isn't that girl your woman? Is she with your second brother again?"
"Transfer money."
Liang Jishen didn't pick up the fuss.
"Money?" Lao Zhang choked. "I want a debt."
"That's 30 million short."
"You're such a stubborn ass! Can you give me two months' grace?"
Liang Jishen pulled off his tie and threw it on the sofa not far away. "Raise interest rates."
Old Zhang laughed. "No wonder they call you the Iron-faced King of Hell behind your back. You only care about the truth and not your relatives! Add me, I'll add you, okay?" Old Zhang said earnestly, changing the subject. "That girl and your second brother are making a big fuss. You'd better..."
He became impatient and unplugged the phone line.
"Is the cafeteria still open?"
Cheng Xun said, "Open."
The man got up and stayed in the office for two days and one night. Finally, he showed up. From the deputy general manager's office on the seventh floor to the cafeteria on the second floor, wherever he passed, he was greeted with strange and inquiring greetings.
Liang Jishen nodded one by one, cold to the core.
"Isn't He Sang Deputy Secretary Liang's lover? Why is she involved with President Liang?"
"Boss Liang is so charming! He's the fourth young master of Hebei Province, and he deserves the title. What woman wouldn't be attracted to him? Deputy Secretary Liang is too serious and doesn't understand romance."
"He Sang is very young, right? Young girls like romantic, badass men, and Mr. Liang fits the bill perfectly."
The female employee walked around the dining table to the window to scoop soup, and found Liang Jishen beside her. Her face changed immediately.
"Deputy Secretary Liang..."
Another employee heard this and immediately stood up, stammering, "Liang..."
Liang Jishen's deterrent power was too strong. Without uttering a single word, he carried a thousand-pound weight, suffocating everyone.
"Get back to work!" Cheng Xun smoothed things over. "Deputy Secretary Liang is magnanimous and won't argue with you. Gossiping about leaders is a taboo at China Overseas Group. Do you understand?"
They nodded yes repeatedly and dispersed.
Liang Jishen clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged and then calmed down. He stood in front of the window and lit a cigarette.
Cheng Xun whispered, "Little girls love gossip, don't take it to heart."
He was silent, finished the cigarette in his hand, and went upstairs to the office.
"Book your ticket for the nearest train."
Cheng Xun nodded and said, "I told Miss He to wait for you at the apartment?"
"I won't see her." Liang Jishen walked into the inner room and changed into a more comfortable casual business suit. "Let's go to the Orthopedic Hospital."
Cheng Xun's heart skipped a beat.
The men of the Liang family have never fallen for women, but it is the women who have suffered so much. They are used to being proud in the love field.
This time, Liang Jishen has lost all face, Miss Song is likely to have her hard work finally rewarded, and Miss He will fall out of favor.
