Chapter 381 I'm Still Clean
Liang Jing tried to hold back, but seeing Liang Chihui's suave outfit, he couldn't help but say, "You seem to be in a good mood."
"Not bad." Liang Chihui stood straight and upright. "He Sang is plump and healthy. I feel at ease."
Liang Jishen glanced at him.
"In March, a supplier from another city slandered Lao San, alleging fraud. You took 150 million to fill the hole. Is that true?"
"Yes, I borrowed it from an underground bank."
"Is your father the legal representative of the bank?"
Liang Chihui's face remained calm, "Yes."
"Father's money is also yours. Take as much as you need. Isn't signing a loan contract redundant?"
"The supplier was hired by my father. The third brother's investigation into Guanghe Group has threatened my father. I want to teach him a lesson. If I confess that I am helping him fill the hole, my father will refuse the loan, and I won't be able to spare 100 million in cash at the moment."
Liang Jing was stunned. "Did father really frame the third brother?"
During this period, Liang Jing vaguely heard that his father and the third son were secretly competing with each other, and the relationship between father and son was indifferent. He always thought that it was the second son who was causing trouble and sowing discord in order to divide the family property. He did not expect that his father would be so cruel to the third son.
"Where is the legal representative of Guanghe Group?"
Liang Chihui remained calm and said, "It's still my father."
Liang Jing frowned, "The registered legal representative's surname is Shang."
"Shang Zhiqiang was my great uncle's cousin. My father and my great uncle were good friends. My great uncle's twin children were studying in France, and my father covered all their tuition. The condition of the deal was that my great uncle would arrange for my cousin to become the legal representative of the Guanghe Group. After the Guanghe Group was shut down, Shang Zhiqiang was imprisoned and sentenced to nine years. He later developed advanced liver cancer and died in the intensive care unit."
Liang Chihui poured a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. "I do know some of the inside stories of Guanghe Group. My father bribed Ni Hong. For two years, Ni Hong worked for my father without my knowledge. My father promised her to marry into the second wife's family and become Liang's second wife. The compensation for the families of the deceased in Guanghe Group was transferred from the Yunhai Building account by Ni Hong without my permission. I was completely kept in the dark."
Liang Jishen said nothing. The crisp sound of chewing the apple spread rhythmically in the living room, causing his scalp to numb inexplicably.
Liang Chihui calmed himself down and said, "If I am guilty, it is a case of knowing but not reporting. I am not reporting it not for myself, but for the reputation of the Liang family. My father is absurd and greedy, and I must not implicate the Liang family and affect my eldest brother's career and the future of the third brother. I am willing to sacrifice myself and take it all on myself."
Liang Jing was silent for a while, then asked Liang Jishen, "Did Tong Da tell the second brother?"
"No."
"Did father tell you?"
"Not yet." Liang Jishen put down the fruit knife, his face as cold as ice. "Just because I didn't tell my second brother doesn't mean he's not a suspect. Zhao Kai went to arrest Tong Er, and will take Ni Hong back to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow. My father is being interrogated."
Liang Chihui's smile widened, and he drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. He said frankly and fearlessly, "Third brother, interrogate him carefully."
The two looked at each other, Liang Jishen stood up and smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry, second brother, I will conduct a thorough investigation."
He left first, buttoning his shirt.
Liang Jing went to the study to handle official business, Liang Chihui went up to the third floor to meet Yao Wenjie, and came out of the old house twenty minutes later.
The magnolia tree in the courtyard was a deep inky black under the night sky, and deep in the shadow stood the shadow of a man.
Liang Chihui walked over, glanced at him nonchalantly, and opened the car door.
"You've put her under house arrest?" The man held his cigarette in one hand and took a puff with his eyes lowered. "The phone is disconnected."
"I'll pass on what you want to say." Liang Chihui's shirt gleamed under the streetlight, like a pool of clear, shimmering water, making him appear reserved and aloof. "She's your second sister-in-law, and you're your younger brother-in-law. Uncles and sisters-in-law should avoid suspicion, so there's no need to talk. When you get married, I won't interfere with any contact between the second and third wives."
Liang Jishen's eyes were fierce.
"Besides, she's a living person with her own thoughts and schemes. How can I keep her under house arrest?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to explain, second brother?" Liang Jishen had been running around these past few days, his days and nights mixed up, and he'd lost a lot of weight. He used to be the most burly of the three brothers, with hard, tendon-like muscles all over his body, but the slight weight loss made his bones look even more heroic and fierce. "I didn't mention He Sang."
"Then who are you going to mention?"
"Alpaca." Liang Jishen held his cigarette sideways. "I haven't seen an alpaca in a long time. Are you keeping it under house arrest?"
"Third brother, don't look for trouble."
Liang Chihui was patient with He Sang, but in fact, he didn't have much patience with other people.
The reason why outsiders think he has a gentle temper and is the kindest of the three young masters is that no one in the business world dares to hire him. Everyone obeys him on the surface, and he is good at disguising himself, so naturally he has left this good reputation.
"The alpaca is in the mansion's backyard. If I don't put it under house arrest, should I send it for a ride on the street?"
Liang Jishen raised his eyelids, and the chill he had just felt in the old house was replaced by anger. "Second brother, don't be too arrogant. Tong Da, father, and Ni Hong are all in my hands. Your good days will not last long."
"I'll wait and see." He pointed it out, and Liang Chihui simply followed suit, "Your next question, are you going to ask for He Sang?"
Liang Jishen always felt uneasy whenever he came into contact with He Sang, and the veins in his temples bulged unconsciously.
Liang Chihui smiled intriguingly, "Third Brother, I've always had you beat, and you've always schemed against me. We've fought frequently this year, and you've lost more than you've won. Now you're about to win a big one, and I'm not unprepared. Since you understand my personality, do you think I'll let you go at this juncture?"
"Liang Lao Er——"
"You call me the second son, which proves that you are aware that you are the third son of the Liang family. I am not asking you to share the same hatred and be on the same boat with your father. Your father is the foundation of the Liang family. You are cutting off the foundation of your own family. You are unfilial, unrighteous, disloyal and unbrotherly."
Liang Chihui slowly approached him, shoulder against shoulder, and spoke word by word, "The Liang family has collapsed, your father is a criminal, you are no longer eligible to eat the public rice bowl. The Liang Group has also collapsed. Your business methods are inferior to mine, and I am superior to you. It is a foolish dream for you to make a comeback in the business world. Ji Xilan lives a life of luxury and spends money lavishly. It is very difficult for you to support her. Let me take care of your second sister-in-law."
He laughed, got in the car, and the Bentley drove out of Yishan Manor, turned a corner, and disappeared into the magnificent gate halfway up the mountain.
Liang Jishen extinguished his cigarette on the spot, his eyes dim and unclear.
......
Liang Chihui worked overtime at the Liang Group until dawn. The public relations department kept the news secret from the outside world. The Municipal Bureau is currently in the stage of collecting evidence in confidence and has not publicly announced the arrest of Liang Yanzhang.
The situation is generally under control.
He returned to the resort that morning, and Assistant Fan came downstairs to meet him. He reported on He Sang's situation, "Ms. He took a bath last night, had a midnight snack, and watched a movie. She went to bed promptly at 10:00. This morning, she drank a bowl of soy milk and a Western set meal. After dinner, she went to the Performing Arts Department to order a show. Bodyguards were present the entire time, and Ms. He was unable to contact the outside world."
"Um."
Take the elevator upstairs, and as soon as you go out, you will hear the faint sound of music floating in the corridor.
Assistant Fan didn't notice. "Director Hua of the General Hospital's son has been accepted by his dream company. The company's boss is doing you a favor. Otherwise, his son's mediocre qualifications wouldn't have gotten him into one of the top ten companies in Hebei Province. Director Hua owes you another favor."
Liang Chihui put her index finger on her lips, signaling him to be quiet.
The melody became clearer and clearer. Whether it was exquisite or not was secondary. It had a stirring quality. Assistant Fan looked across and said, "It's the Performing Arts Department playing music."
In the center of the 17th floor is a lush welcoming pine tree, surrounded by a golden carp pond that divides the floor into two parts. To the south is a large flat suite, and to the north is the resort's performing arts department.
At all high-end dinners and drinking parties for important people, there are Chinese women's music troupes and Western men's bands to perform to entertain the guests.
Liang Chihui listened to the music attentively for a long time. Then he took a step and quietly pushed open the entrance door of the suite.
The beaded curtain in the audio-visual room fell, and the wind outside the window happened to blow by, making the beads jingle. There was a guzheng on the light walnut-colored stand. He Sang's hands were white and slender, and her Xiangfei pink artificial nails plucked the strings, just like her, pink and charming.
Liang Chihui stared at the scene through the beaded curtain.
After unveiling the mystery of where the tune came from, her playing wasn't as seductive anymore, but to Liang Chihui's ears, it felt itchy and had a kind of indescribable beauty.
"Have you ever learned the guzheng?"
He Sang shuddered and raised his head.
"I borrowed the piano from the performing arts manager... I took a cramming class in high school to get into acting for the arts exam, which gave me 20 extra points."
Her smug look made Liang Chihui laugh, "Mrs. Liang is so powerful?"
"Not really." She was honest. "I have no talent. I studied day and night for three months, but I only learned to play one piece. I took the exam out of sheer courage."
Liang Chihui sat on a chair not far away, "You are playing 'Night Rain at Banana Window'."
She couldn't help but wonder, "Have you heard of it?"
"I heard it in the private room of Yunhai Building."
"Yunhai Tower..." She walked around the guzheng stand, came to Liang Chihui, bent down, and looked him in the eye. "She's Director Liang's ex-girlfriend, right?"
He leaned back, "I guess so."
He Sang took off the artificial nail on his middle finger and placed it in a small box. "Which one?"
"I have too many old lovers to remember them all." Liang Chihui stared at her half-truthfully, wanting to smile but not quite.
"Bingbing." She was not annoyed or jealous, and she held her chin up to recall, "Boss Ni told me that you like Bingbing the most."
"Nonsense." Liang Chihui frowned, "I like to marry her directly, why do we have to become ex-lover?"
"Bingbing dumped you." He Sang chuckled, "She found out you're not capable..."
"You're getting more and more out of control. I've been too indulgent with you." Liang Chihui also laughed, "I've never slept with her."
Finally, he added, "I have never slept with any woman in Yunhai Tower."
He Sang said nothing.
Liang Chihui looked at her, "What is Mrs. Liang thinking about?"
She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but when it came to her lips, she swallowed it back and didn't say it in the end.
"No."
"Are you thankful?"
He Sang was stunned. "What are you thankful for?"
"I'm still clean."
She couldn't help laughing, "Congratulations to Director Liang, he's a rare clean man."
Liang Chihui tapped the armrest of the chair, "Mrs. Liang, congratulations."
