Chapter 224 I’m Looking for You
"Who forced you?" Zhao Kai lit a cigarette outside the door and leaned against it.
Mrs. Zhao buried her hands tightly, sobbing and twitching.
Manager Cui carried the medicine box and brought a waitress to help He Sang clean the wound. Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything until Zhao Kai finished smoking. He patted the box and asked, "How much?"
"Twenty kilograms of gold bars, two hundred thousand US dollars in cash, and proof of full payment for a manor in Australia."
He Sang handed the key to Zhao Kai, who squatted down to open the box.
When the lid of the box was opened, Zhao Kai was stunned.
There was not a single piece of stolen property in the box that Mrs. Zhao confessed to having, except for a box full of worthless copper ingots.
He Sang was also stunned and looked at Liang Chihui instinctively.
The man had just treated the wound on his back. There was a large bruise mixed with blood, which was slightly more serious than her injury.
She looked at Manager Cui again.
Manager Cui was even more shocked. "How could this happen?"
Mrs. Zhao sensed something was amiss and crawled toward the box. She checked the note and saw it was her handwriting. The box was numbered 3, Liang Jishen's third child, and it was the third box on the shelf, one of fifteen.
No substitution.
Besides, who will adjust it?
She followed the instructions, stacked the gold bars with her own hands, withdrew money from the bank's foreign exchange window, wrote notes, sealed the box, put it on the shelf, and locked the door. No one else intervened.
Switched things without anyone noticing?
"Impossible!" Mrs. Zhao stumbled to her feet. "Cui Hongbo! You stole my key?"
Manager Cui looked innocent. "I don't even know where your keys are. How could we steal them if you were on guard against your employees?"
He Sang suddenly figured it out.
The mastermind behind the scenes thought he had a flawless plan, but in fact Liang Jishen was just pretending to fall into the trap. Even if the police found the horn comb and the wine cellar, Liang Jishen would still escape safely.
She was worried for a whole day and night and didn't eat a single bite. It turned out that everything was under Liang Jishen's control.
The opponent didn't beat him in this game.
Instead, it alerted the enemy and revealed that someone was targeting him and plotting to murder him. No matter how brilliant the other party's tricks were afterwards, the higher-ups trusted Liang Jishen and believed that he was wronged.
His performance of the game within the game was exciting and brilliant.
Only He Sang suffered.
She tried every possible way to redeem herself and clear his name, even taking risks alone. Although the injury was minor, she was still hurt.
Unexpectedly, Liang Jishen also trapped her in it.
The more anxious and frustrated his woman became, the more realistic the situation became.
"Tell President Zhao that his wife should come back to the bureau with me and cooperate with the investigation." Zhao Kai said, and took the initiative to reach out to Liang Chihui, "Mr. Liang is frightened."
Liang Chihui shook his hand and said, "Director Zhao is very timely."
"Because I don't believe Ji Shen took bribes. I know him too well. I'm greedy, but he's not. I have a family to support, so it's inevitable that I'm short of money. The Liang family is rich. They have enough assets to open a bank. Why would he embezzle money? It's not worth it." Zhao Kai was happy. "Mr. Liang has a wide network of contacts. Find out who framed him."
Liang Chihui remained calm and said, "I'm checking. What are you doing? Why don't I take your seat?"
Zhao Kai laughed heartily. "Just kidding, I'll definitely check it myself."
"I was just joking." Liang Chihui let go and brushed off the folds of his shirt. "Goodbye."
Zhao Kai ordered, "Xiao Ding, send Mr. Liang off!"
“No need.”
Liang Chihui passed by Mrs. Zhao without looking away or stopping.
Mrs. Zhao shrank back for a long moment before rushing towards He Sang. "I mean no harm! Bribery isn't a serious crime. Mr. Liang has made contributions to the China Overseas Group. His merits and demerits offset each other. The most he'll have to pay is a fine. I don't mean to ruin his reputation! Mrs. Liang is your mother-in-law. Considering our friendship..."
"You plotted against her own son. I care about our friendship, but does she?" He Sang pried Mrs. Zhao's hand away. "Your attempted bribery failed, but Ji Shen won't give up. He'll pursue you. Your sentence is a foregone conclusion. Will your backers save you? Once you're released, will President Zhao accept a wife with a criminal record?"
Mrs. Zhao was trembling all over and sweat was pouring out of her body.
"If you tell me who's behind this, maybe Ji Shen will forgive you and give up pursuing the responsibility."
Mrs. Zhao fell on the box in a daze.
After leaving the guild hall, He Sang got into Lao Yang's car, and Zhao Kai led the team back to the Municipal Bureau.
"Uncle Yang, I plan to go to another province."
Old Yang was startled. "Yourself?"
"right."
"The situation with the Third Young Master is complicated, and Secretary Liang can't contact him. I advise you to stay at the old house. After all, Secretary Liang is in Ji Province, and you are his sister-in-law, so he will naturally take care of you." Old Yang joked, "Secretary Liang has two younger brothers, and finally he has a sister-in-law. He treasures her very much."
He Sang forced a smile. "Please thank my elder brother for me. I've been having trouble sleeping and eating in Hebei Province. Going to another province will allow Ji Shen and I to look after each other. My elder brother is busy with official duties and has to divert his attention to take care of me. I'm really a burden to him."
Old Yang didn't say anything else. He took He Sang to the hospital, gave her a tetanus shot, and then drove her to the station. He then rushed back to Liang Jing's office to report.
Liang Jing also didn't say anything. The "bribery" case was settled and she was free again. It was natural for her to go see the third brother, and he had no reason to stop her.
Moreover, this girl is stubborn and has her own ideas. Even if it is for her own good, no one can stop her.
He reviewed a pile of documents and suddenly looked up. "Where is the third brother in the province?"
"He should be under police surveillance."
Liang Jing was silent for a moment. "Find out more and inform He Sang to go straight to the destination. She will arrive in the province around 8 o'clock in the evening. It's not safe for the girl."
......
He Sang arrived at Mr. Qiu's manor at 9:20.
There was a police car outside the manor with four plainclothes officers with walkie-talkies stuck in their collars. They noticed He Sang coming over and probably knew her, so they didn't say anything. The atmosphere was tense, but the captain in the lead mentioned Liang Jing by mouth.
The white carved iron door was not locked, and the servant led her into the entrance hall.
"Sir, Madam, there is a young girl looking for Mr. Liang."
Mrs. Qiu was surprised. "The police actually let us go? They must be plainclothes women, right?"
He Sang walked around the screen in the living room. The orange light was warm and bright. At the end of the light, Liang Jishen was sitting on a rattan chair on the terrace, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. His aura had not diminished at all, and he still exuded the manliness of brutal domination.
Tenacious and profound.
She almost lost her balance.
Ever since learning last night that he was caught in the whirlpool, He Sang has been feeling like every second was a year.
She even imagined how miserable and destitute he was.
Whenever I think about it, my heart aches.
"Oh, it's you!" Mrs. Qiu was overjoyed and turned around and shouted, "Mr. Liang, it's Xiao He looking for you!"
Liang Jishen's back trembled, and he stood up suddenly. They looked at each other from a distance, with emotions surging in his eyes.
He quickly put out his cigarette and walked over.
With every step he took closer, tears welled up in He Sang's eyes. He stood under the lamp in perfect condition, just a few feet away from her.
Liang Jishen wanted to hug her, but she dodged.
