Chapter 411 The Sky Collapses
He Sang stood up from his chair, "Where's Chi Hui?"
"Director Liang is busy with official business." The bodyguard draped a men's suit jacket over her shoulders. "The evening breeze is cool, and it's raining heavily in the surrounding provinces and cities."
She glanced at the coat, then at the bodyguard, and knew what was going on.
Liang Chihui planned to leave the country overnight.
"I'm going to the bathroom, okay?"
The bodyguard hesitated, "It's too late."
He Sang deliberately asked to go to the bathroom in front of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zheng. It was an ordinary request, but the bodyguard disagreed, which clearly showed that something was fishy. She thought the bodyguard would consider the overall situation and agree to let her go so that they wouldn't become suspicious.
Unexpectedly, the bodyguard would rather sacrifice the overall situation than agree.
It seems that the arrow is on the string and is about to be fired.
The more critical the situation, the more cautious Liang Chihui became, and the more carefully the bodyguards monitored her.
"I can't hold it..." she complained. "Holding it is bad for my stomach..."
The bodyguard knew that she was pregnant, and Assistant Fan had also reminded him over the phone that the safety of Miss He and the child must be guaranteed, so Mr. Liang took it very seriously.
He didn't dare to neglect it, "I'll take you there."
The bodyguards escorted her downstairs in a hurry.
The two ladies in the private room looked at each other in bewilderment. "There's a rumor going around that the Liang family has collapsed."
"It's just gossip." Mrs. Zheng calmed herself. "Secretary Liang and the Third Young Master are standing firm. The Liang family will never fall. Secretary Liang's logic and words, and the Third Young Master's courage and strength, are the province's trump cards. When entertaining foreign guests and holding press conferences, Secretary Liang is the anchor, responsible for debating with all the heroes. The Third Young Master is now in business. He used to be the backbone of major cases. He prosecuted and investigated, and Zhao Kai was arrested. 'The Liang and Zhao team up' is not just a boast, but a real achievement. Is the province crazy? They have to touch the Liang family."
Mrs. Lin held her chin in her hand and ate a table full of preserved fruits and vegetables, finding them tasteless.
The Lin family has the closest relationship with Liang Chihui. Liang Chihui has invested in Mr. Lin's company. The Liang family has extensive connections and is well-connected. The Lin family has always been flattering Liang Chihui, tightly binding him and sharing the benefits. Mrs. Lin is a cultured and well-educated woman who despises the so-called vanity of "rich wives' socializing." If it weren't for Mr. Lin's resources, she would not bother to please He Sang and play with a little girl.
"Fang Jingru is a member of the inspection team. The Liang Group has falsified its financial statements. Guanghe Group is suspected of murdering He Jinping, the deputy director of the project acceptance inspection. There are also underground banks laundering money. The bosses behind these businesses are Liang Yanzhang and the second son. They must be immediately liquidated and shut down."
Mrs. Zheng's pupils trembled for a long time before calming down. "Can the Second Young Master turn over?"
Mrs. Lin grabbed the teacup, and a thin-skinned walnut was crushed at the bottom of the cup, breaking into pieces in an instant. "It's very dangerous."
The bodyguard was waiting at the door of the women's restroom.
He Sang turned the locks of the cubicles one by one. When she reached the north cubicle, she found it locked from the inside. She knocked on the door and asked, "Ma'am?"
"What's the matter?" the other party asked impatiently.
"Do you have your cell phone?"
“I didn’t bring it!”
The bodyguard was just one door away, too close to him. He Sang was afraid he might hear him. "I'd like to borrow your phone to contact my family. Five hundred yuan as a reward."
The door slowly opened and the woman walked down the stairs, half believing and half doubting.
He Sang took out the cash from his bag, and the woman took the money and handed over her cell phone.
"You're not a human trafficker, are you?"
She was wearing gold and silver jewelry, and even a hairpin was worth a fortune, not to mention the limited edition platinum bag. It was really strange that she didn't even have a cell phone.
"I lost my phone." He Sang explained and entered Liang Jishen's number.
"There's a landline at the front desk that guests can use." The woman was even more surprised.
"Mrs. Liang, do you need wet wipes?"
He Sang shuddered, his face pale.
He is a waiter in the private room.
She quickly returned the phone to the woman, ran straight to the cubicle, and closed the door. "I don't need it."
The waiter came in and made eye contact with the woman. "Hello."
The woman pointed at He Sang's cubicle, confused, and asked, "Do you know it?"
The waiter smiled but didn't answer.
He Sang was afraid that if they continued chatting, they would be exposed, so he immediately opened the door and said, "You drank too much water."
"Your bodyguard was worried and asked me to take care of you." The waiter supported her. "The floor is slippery, don't fall."
"Hey! You can't fight—"
"Thank you, ma'am." He Sang interrupted the woman, "I won't bother you."
"The five hundred..."
He Sang ignored her and met the bodyguard outside the door. "Let's go." She was the first to step out the door.
The bodyguard stared at the waiter, who shook his head, "Mrs. Liang is indeed going to the bathroom."
"Did you call?"
"No, it's very quiet."
The bodyguard walked away.
After getting in the car and driving for forty minutes, He Sang leaned against the window and asked, "Is this the way back to Bixi Mansion?"
"To the docks."
"Salt Lake Dock?"
"Yes." The bodyguard sped along, running through four yellow lights in a row. "You and Director Liang are going to other provinces. There are subordinates in other provinces who are Director Liang's confidants who will meet you."
I guessed right.
The Liang family's sky collapsed.
"Where's my luggage?"
"We're going to other provinces to buy a new one. We're not short of money. Director Liang has real estate and cash in the local area."
Her heart was in turmoil. "Are they investigating the Liang family?"
The bodyguard said nothing.
He Sang understood that the men Liang Chihui sent at this critical juncture must be deeply trusted by him, and she was an untrusted "outsider", and even with the title of hostess, she could not dig out the inside story.
......
Zhao Kai received a call from the inspection team and was interrogating Ni Hong.
Her right leg was in a cast and her left hand was bandaged. Due to the severity of her injuries, two female police officers escorted her to lie on a stretcher, like a walking corpse.
"The manager of Yunhailou is a tainted witness?" Zhao Kai said in a high voice, "Did he expose Liang Chihui?"
Ni Hong's eyelids twitched.
"Liang Yanzhang has also confessed, so the evidence is conclusive."
She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Zhao Kai's phone.
Zhao Kai pretended not to notice and sighed meaningfully, "Men, self-interest is paramount. If you can achieve meritorious service and receive leniency, why don't you fight for it? Women, you're too attached to friendship. You protect your man, but does he protect you? He's eager to shift the blame onto you. Husband and wife run away from each other when faced with disaster. I feel sorry for women."
Ni Hong almost suffocated.
"The deputy director blocked Liang Chihui in the board office. Ji Shen went to find Secretary Liang, and Secretary Liang went to Bixi Mansion to pick up He Sang."
Zhao Kai hung up the phone and looked at Ni Hong. "You committed suicide by cutting your wrists... You are quite loyal."
She turned her head away.
"Liang Yanzhang's life is in danger, but Liang Chihui will be sentenced to at least fifteen years. Your crime is minor, so if you cooperate, you might get a reduced sentence. If you don't cooperate, Liang Chihui will be finished too. I sympathize with you for being fooled by a man, so I'll give you a chance."
Ni Hong said nothing.
"He Sang is pregnant."
Zhao Kai's words stirred up a thousand waves. Ni Hong seemed to have a last burst of energy. She sat up and gasped for breath.
"Is she really pregnant?"
Zhao Kai swayed his feet, "More than a month."
"Is it..." Ni Hong's voice was hoarse, "Liang Chihui's?"
"If it was Liang Chihui's, I wouldn't feel sorry for you. He's almost forty, and as a man, he wants a child to continue his bloodline. He has a father's instinct, so it's understandable that he abandoned you. But in fact, the child is Liang Laosan's."
Ni Hong was stunned.
Zhao Kai murdered someone and attacked his heart. "Liang Chihui knows who the father of the child is. Perhaps he is treating He Sang as a hostage. After all, he is the only blood of the Liang family. Not only Liang Lao San values him, but Liang Jing also values him. The provincial government is also concerned and does not want anything to happen to the pregnant woman. It is very likely that they will let him go. However, you know Liang Chihui's character, right? Would he be so subservient to a woman he has no interest in? He Sang is not just a hostage, he has feelings for him."
"Shut up."
"You know it clearly in your heart, so why deceive yourself?" Zhao Kai said helplessly.
"Shut up!" Ni Hong fell on the stretcher, twitching and crying loudly.
