Chapter 398 Can He Accommodate My Child?
Back at the mansion, the nanny couldn't wait to greet him at the entrance. "Sir, what are the test results?"
Liang Chihui pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Start cooking some dishes that pregnant women like to eat tomorrow."
"Oh, my eyesight is right! Miss He is pregnant." The nanny said happily, "The Liang family has a grandson. The family business is passed down from father to son, from grandfather to grandson. You are now more legitimate."
He Sang felt embarrassed and restrained. He changed into slippers and stood there motionless.
"Sir, the head of the Liang Group's legal team is in your study." The nanny poured a cup of warm water and handed it to He Sang. "I'll make a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. You can quench your thirst first. Don't rush to exercise. Get through the first three months, then slowly start exercising. You're too thin."
She muttered, "I weigh a hundred pounds."
"At least keep her weight up to 120 pounds. A woman who looks plump is a sign of nobility."
He Sang felt that the Liang family's nannies, regardless of which young master they served or which house they lived in, were exceptionally feudal and traditional. It wasn't impossible that they were deliberately flattering. The rich and powerful appreciated compliments like "noble, wealthy, upper-class, and well-connected," and it was their job to cater to their tastes. But the nannies in the old house were truly feudal. The Weng family's father and mother were born in the late 1940s, wealthy and powerful, and the rules were set then. Fangjie's mother was the old lady's nanny, and Fangjie was Weng Qiong's dowry nanny. These ideas were deeply ingrained.
"She looks better when she's a little fatter." Liang Chihui looked at He Sang. "Don't worry. Fat has its own beauty, thin has its own beauty. Each has its merits. It's all good."
The nanny was busy in the kitchen. He Sang was drinking water from a cup. "Two hundred pounds?"
"You can try 300 kilograms, and then change your name to He Yuhuan." Liang Chihui teased her, "I'm curious about what she looks like." He raised his hand and took off the hair tie that tied her ponytail. Her hair seemed to be freed, surging and spreading, shining with the light of black gemstones.
"I understand the third brother."
Liang Chihui said this without any context, went upstairs and locked the study door.
The lawyer stood up from the sofa. "According to your instructions, yesterday the legal team reported Zhao Kai for illegally detaining Liang Yanzhang, but..." He changed the subject, "The situation is not good."
Liang Chihui closed his eyes and massaged his solar plexus without saying a word.
"First, during the five days Liang Yanzhang was detained at the Municipal Bureau, no officer interrogated him under the guise of 'investigating the case.' Only the Third Young Master came forward to force him to confess. Furthermore, we couldn't report the fairness or personal relations of the process unless we first reported the Third Young Master for his illegal involvement in the case. Unfortunately, Liang Yanzhang disagreed, so the matter was left unresolved."
The nanny knocked on the study door and asked if she wanted to have a midnight snack.
"No." Liang Chihui said in a low voice, "Has she returned to her room?"
"Miss He was exhausted and lay down without taking a shower."
He frowned, "There are so many germs in the hospital, I have to take a shower."
The nanny asked through the door, "Then should I wake up Miss He?"
Liang Chihui was silent for a second, "You take a rest, I'll be there later."
The nanny left, and the lawyer continued his report. "Secondly, Guanghe Group's funds flowed into banks, and the banks' funds flowed into the lending market for money laundering. This clue leads to Madam Yao's Thai factory. Although Old J didn't betray Madam Yao, the Third Young Master has extensive connections in Thailand. He contacted Old J's enemies, and they are willing to cooperate. After all, eliminating Old J would benefit the enemies."
The lawyer pulled out a blueprint from his briefcase. "Warehouse No. 3 of a paint factory on the Thai-Myanmar border is where Old J keeps his cash. Two-thirds of it is Madam Yao's money. His enemies have figured it out."
Liang Chihui still kept his eyes closed. "In Thailand?"
"Yes. The Thai police have some connections with the Third Young Master. As long as they can confirm that it's Madam Yao's money, they will probably help."
Liang Chihui opened his eyes and stared out the window at the brightly lit buildings. "Your legal team isn't as good as the provincial leaders, and your perspective is too short-sighted. The Liang family is one of the four major families, with a vast foundation. The Weng family has prestige overseas. Even though the two families aren't on good terms, with Liang Jing as a bond, they are ultimately related by marriage. The higher-ups know the Liang family has serious problems, but they still don't dare to act rashly. What if Liang Yanzhang sues Zhao Kai for defamation due to insufficient evidence? It would cause a huge upheaval in the overseas Chinese community and the powerful circles of Hebei Province, and the Municipal Bureau would be in for a laugh."
The lawyer suddenly realized, "So the Third Young Master is taking the blame for Zhao Kai?"
Liang Chihui played with the antique jade toad on the desk. "Tong Er is the murderer, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Tong Da accused Liang Yanzhang of hiring the killer, but he couldn't produce the recordings and remittance records. There's insufficient witnesses and evidence, so the Municipal Bureau can't detain him. If he's acquitted and free, he will clear all remaining evidence. Therefore, the third brother promised the provincial government that he would personally defeat Liang Yanzhang and recover the Liang family's overseas assets. The provincial government is only concerned about the overall situation. As for Liang Jishen's personal violations, they are insignificant compared to the tens of billions of stolen money."
The lawyer was surprised that Liang Chihui had seen through the mystery. "If the Third Young Master succeeded, Zhao Kai would have taken over the interrogation, which would have been a credit to the Municipal Bureau. If he had failed, Zhao Kai would have avoided a direct confrontation with Liang Yanzhang from beginning to end, and this incident would have turned into an internal conflict within the Liang family. Zhao Kai allowed people outside the Municipal Bureau to come and go without permission, and punished them one by one, with at most a demotion. The Third Young Master would have taken the primary responsibility, and the outside world would have had little impact."
Liang Chihui laughed and said, "You are not too stupid."
The lawyer also laughed, "Originally, Tong Er disappeared and they were helpless, but Liang Yanzhang confessed himself. This is a big problem for us. Even if we can't catch Tong Er, we can still convict and arrest him."
"Since Tong Er is useless now, let's use him to coax He Sang."
The lawyer understood and asked, "Send it to the city police station?"
"Um."
"Is he...tight-lipped?"
Liang Chihui moved his chair and stood up. "Tong Er is guilty of a crime that is undoubtedly punishable by death. He has no wife or children, and his brothers depend on each other for survival. Tong Da is now unable to escape prison, and his sister-in-law is his last relative. He only hopes that his sister-in-law will have enough food and clothing and live a stable life for the rest of her life. Why not be strict? Only when I am safe can his sister-in-law be safe."
The lawyer nodded, "Then rest assured."
Liang Chihui walked out of the study and pushed open the door to the master bedroom.
He Sang fell asleep lying on her stomach in the middle of the bed. She always slept in that position until dawn.
He slowed down his pace and tried to approach as quietly as possible.
Her long hair swayed and cascaded from the edge of the bed, like a layer of shimmering water on a clear spring.
So gentle that I have no bones and no strength.
Liang Chihui sat down and took out a hard object from his pocket. It was the wedding ring she had returned to him, which he had thrown away and then picked up again.
He gently put it into He Sang's ring finger.
She is as bright as pearls and as beautiful as jade.
Liang Chihui caressed it.
......
The next morning, Yao Wenjie and Liang Yanzhang met.
Liang Jishen arrived at the Municipal Bureau at ten o'clock. Through the square window, he saw a man and a woman, one sitting and one standing.
Zhao Kai and several subordinates were wearing eavesdropping devices next door. Liang Yanzhang's room was a wall, while Zhao Kai's view was a floor-to-ceiling window.
Single-sided visual glass customized exclusively for municipal and district bureaus.
"My end won't be good." Liang Yanzhang smiled miserably, "Wenji, I can't make it up to you in this lifetime."
"You won't be able to compensate me in your next life." Yao Wenji patted her chest. "Because of you, I gave up my former love, my innocence, my marriage, everything a woman cares about most. Everything was destroyed in your hands. You are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve death."
The muscles in Liang Yanzhang's jaw were twitching and spasming.
"Chi Hui is a real talent. His scheming and strategy in the business world far surpass Liang Jing and Liang Jishen. Even though you don't like him, you have to cultivate him. You know very well that the Liang Group will prosper if he is handed over to him. The eldest and third sons are suitable for politics, not good seedlings for business." Yao Wenji approached him step by step, "I betrayed you. It's a grudge between you and me. You took it out on Chi Hui. He has lived in fear in the old house since he was a child. Have you thought about his face when he grows up? Bodyguards, servants, relatives, which one of them doesn't flatter the powerful and bully the weak? If you don't value him, how will outsiders treat my son well? They ridicule and bully Chi Hui to please Ji Xilan. When she is happy, she blows your pillow to increase their salary and get benefits, so they intensify their actions."
Liang Yanzhang was hunched over and looked much older.
"I feel guilty towards you and your son..."
Yao Wenji laughed contemptuously, "Do you love me?"
"like."
"No, you don't love me, nor Ji Xilan. You've been with so many women, but who have you ever loved? You only care about your own selfishness and your desire to win." Yao Wenji laughed heartily. "Your Liang family, your hard work, I sacrificed my entire 33 years of my youth, and I've plundered it all."
Zhao Kai looked stern and pressed the recording button.
"Even if the Third Brother had all his skills, he couldn't recover them. Hundreds of billions of Thai baht are in the hands of a Burmese man. Do you know how complicated the handover process is?"
Zhao Kai stared straight at Yao Wenjie on the other side of the glass.
"Yan Zhang, we were married after all, and I feel so sorry for you. You've worked hard all your life, and in the end, your money and your property have been taken away from you, and your son is ashamed of you. Do you regret it? Weng Qiong truly loved you, the Weng family truly supported you, Liang Jing and the third brother were truly filial to you. You are blind and heartless, and you deserve the situation you are in today."
Liang Yanzhang's eyes were dull and empty.
Zhao Kai ordered the police officer, "Take Yao Wenji back."
The police escorted Yao Wenji out. Liang Jishen walked in and grabbed Liang Yanzhang's collar with a fierce look in his eyes. "He Sang is pregnant."
"Liang Chihui might have kidnapped her and taken her abroad."
"My eldest brother is nearly forty years old and has no desires. Liang Chihui can barely protect himself, let alone marry and have children. After I have reorganized the Zhonghai Group, Lao Zhang has arranged for a secret mission with unknown risks. He Sang is most likely pregnant with the only blood of the Liang family, your only offspring."
These three sentences were like thunder out of the blue.
Liang Yanzhang's cloudy pupils sparkled with light. "How old are you?"
"More than a month."
"Can it be saved?"
Liang Jishen's face was expressionless. "Do you want to keep it?"
The chair creaked sharply, and he was so excited that he spoke incoherently, "The Liang family has few descendants... Third brother, please protect the eldest grandson of the Liang family."
"Liang Chihui is the current chairman of the Liang Group. You refused to give him up in order to prevent the group from going bankrupt and the stock price from plummeting. He Sang is pregnant with my flesh and blood. Can Liang Chihui tolerate my child? Can Yao Wenji tolerate your eldest grandson?"
Every word pierced Liang Yanzhang's heart, and his face turned pale.
"Liang Group, Changsun, you choose one." Liang Jishen opened the door and turned his back to him. "Zhao Kai will formally interrogate you this afternoon. The interrogation recorder will be on throughout. I am not qualified to be present. Please consider it carefully."
