Chapter 163 My husband's name is Liang Yizhi
“She’s dead,” Liang Yizhi said.
The conclusion that Li Duoyu's identity was acknowledged was also relayed back to the Shen family.
He says this to everyone now.
Liang Weiyue was slightly surprised, "But you still married someone else's wife. We need the Shen family's help, so we can't offend them. We still have to keep the three-year agreement."
Liang Yizhi pursed his lips and said, "I know."
Liang Weiyue softened his tone, "I understand you're a normal man too. If there's a real need, it's perfectly acceptable to discreetly place one outside."
Liang Yizhi gave a very faint smile, his expression unreadable, and said, "I'm in a hurry, I'll be going now."
...
As Ji Ying walked out of the Black Star Building, Xie Lingfang's words felt like thorns piercing her heart; it would be a lie to say she wasn't sad.
It started raining sometime earlier, and her car was still parked at the end of the open-air parking lot. If she ran over in the rain, she would definitely get soaked.
Just as she was hesitating, a large black umbrella silently appeared over her head.
She turned around and saw Xue Qin.
"Miss Ji, the rain is quite heavy. Please use this umbrella first."
Ji Ying took the umbrella but didn't thank her. Instead, she asked directly, "Where's Liang Yizhi? He should be free by now, right?"
Xue Qin looked troubled: "Mr. Liang is here today to discuss important matters. We must get to the base immediately. The car is already waiting over there."
Ji Ying finally couldn't hold back her anger. "He came to provoke me, and now he's acting all cold and indifferent just because he's unhappy. What kind of attitude is that? Even if we really want to draw a line, we should at least make things clear before we become strangers."
“Uh…” Xue Qin smiled awkwardly, “Miss Ji, please don’t be angry. We’re only going out for three days. I’ll contact you as soon as we get back.”
That sounds more like human language.
Ji Ying pursed her lips, said nothing more, and walked alone into the rain with her umbrella.
...
Chairman's office at Black Star Power.
Xie Lingfang had already left, and Liang Weiyue sat alone at his desk.
His assistant brought him a pot of freshly brewed Biluochun tea, but he didn't drink it, only staring at the heavy rain outside the window.
"Have I been too indifferent to things in Kun City these past few years?" he suddenly asked.
The assistant didn't understand why he asked that question and didn't answer immediately.
"I didn't expect Gu Yanchen's wife to look so much like her. Do you think the second son has investigated this?"
His assistant had been with him for twenty years and knew the whole story.
It was immediately clear who he was asking about.
"Second Master is always meticulous in his actions, so he must have investigated. Since he has publicly acknowledged the 'death,' that person... is probably really gone."
Liang Weiyue nodded. "What he admitted is definitely true. I heard that Gu Yanchen and his wife have a bad relationship."
"Yes, they're going through a divorce," the assistant replied in a low voice.
Liang Weiyue lowered his head and touched his face. "Do you think she would like a more mature man?"
The assistant hesitated for a long time before struggling to persuade him: "Chairman Liang, if you really have this intention, you must keep it a secret from your wife. Otherwise, she may disappear like the previous ones."
Liang Weiyue took a sip of tea, his gaze deep and unfathomable, but his tone was calm and even.
"The tea was brewed well today, so I'll give you a bonus this month."
...
The police arrived too late.
When they arrived at Qimeng Residence, Wen Lingxue had already fled upon hearing the news.
However, the fingerprints extracted at the scene matched the half-fingerprint left on the sneakers and also matched the fingerprints extracted from Platinum Bay.
At this point, suspicion against her for murdering Zhang Cheng increased significantly, and she was officially listed as a wanted person by the police.
In just three days, the situation at Chenxi Group also changed dramatically.
Huang Haoran strives to increase funding for the laboratory with a "self-developed" achievement, and it seems the group's main business is about to emerge from its predicament. However, Gu Yi strongly opposes the allocation of funds at the board meeting, and subsequently, the group suddenly experiences a break in its cash flow.
The investigation revealed that, in addition to the lab having already consumed a large portion of the company's investment, Gu Yi had also secretly transferred a huge sum of money to bribe his backers, causing Chenxi to fall into a financial crisis.
Previously, Gu Yi and his son, who had almost controlled the overall situation, suddenly became the target of public criticism, and Gu Yanchen, who was already marginalized, could not reverse the decline. Chenxi Group officially faced bankruptcy.
Wangyuan Residence.
Gu Yi was so angry that he smashed all the furnishings in the room.
Gu Gong couldn't stand it and advised, "When he said he wouldn't take care of you anymore, it was because he thought Chenxi was going to go bankrupt and we wouldn't have any money left for him. But we haven't collapsed yet, have we? There's still hope!"
Gu Yi grabbed his clothes, her eyes bloodshot as she questioned him, "Didn't you always say that Chen Xi had plenty of money? How come the company is facing a cash crunch in such a short time! The Gu family is the richest family in Kun City, so where is the money?"
"Of course there's money!" Gu Gong struggled to pull his collar back. "I'm afraid most of it is still in the old lady's hands and hasn't been put into the company at all!"
He took a breath and said in a sinister tone, "This matter is not simple; there must be a mole within the company!"
"A mole?" Gu Yi snorted coldly and pressed a button on the remote control. "I've found him."
The door to the dark room opened, revealing Huang Haoran hanging from a beam, covered in wounds and on the verge of death.
Gu Gong asked in surprise, "How could it be him?"
“Ever since we took over Chenxi, he has been constantly getting the company to invest money in his lab. He’s used up half of the company’s cash flow. Who else could he be but a mole?”
After saying that, he looked at Huang Haoran and asked, "Tell me, who told you to do this?"
"It's...it's Ji Ying," Huang Haoran said weakly.
What is she trying to do?
"Let Dawn go bankrupt."
Gu Yi angrily roared at Gu Gong, "Did you hear that? We've been tricked by her from beginning to end!"
Gu Gong's face turned ashen. "This woman cannot be kept alive. We shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place."
Gu Yi sneered, "You really think she can do it all by herself? She and Gu Yanchen are only superficially compatible, and they've completely fooled us!"
Gu Gong asked in surprise, "Weren't they always at odds?"
"That was all an act for us!" Gu Yi gritted his teeth. "They don't need to discuss anything. They understand each other's next move with just a glance. Their teamwork is terrifying!"
He clenched his fists, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"I'm going to take the Gu family's money. And I'll never let that woman get away with it. Since they're resorting to underhanded tactics, don't blame me for playing along with them to the very end."
...
At that moment, Ji Ying was coming out of the laboratory.
She shivered, rubbed her neck, and thought she was about to catch a cold.
Just then, my phone rang.
Xue Qin called her as promised.
"Mr. Liang has a dinner engagement later. Are you free now?" Xue Qin asked.
Ji Ying checked the time; it was almost 5:30. Just as she was about to say "yes," Liang Yanchuan appeared at the company entrance.
"Can we do it later?" Ji Ying said into the phone.
Xue Qin hesitated for a moment, glanced at his boss who had a hint of disappointment on his face, and said into the phone, "Then... let's contact each other again."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ying looked at Liang Yanchuan and said, "You'd better have something important to say."
"I've made some progress on Gu Yi's case, which you asked me to investigate. Four years ago, he was suddenly sent abroad by Old Master Gu, who also canceled his household registration, preventing him from ever returning. A few months after he left, Old Master Gu mysteriously passed away."
This matches the content of the phone call Wen Lingxue made.
"His smooth return to China this time was thanks to the identity of Laogo Zhang, an overseas Chinese from a small African country. Currently, no one in China is investigating him, which is entirely due to the secret arrangements made by his backer. Gu Yi also has quite a few gray and black businesses in Pakistan and has some influence."
After listening, a cold glint flashed in Ji Ying's eyes. "Since we can't shake him abroad, then we'll just let him rot on this land."
Liang Yanchuan nodded and said, "I heard a rumor that Chenxi Group has run out of cash flow."
Ji Ying paused for a moment, then said, "Then we need to hurry up and prepare properly."
Liang Yanchuan patted her hand and said, "Take care of yourself."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when Ji Ying called him back.
"Does your second uncle usually live at the Liang residence?"
Liang Yanchuan didn't understand why she suddenly asked about Liang Yizhi, but still said, "He doesn't like to live at home; he spends most of his time at the Cloud Top Hotel."
I see.
After parting ways with Liang Yanchuan, Ji Ying returned to her apartment and made a steamed custard dessert by hand. She then went to the hotel, calculating the time it would take for Liang Yizhi to return from his social engagement.
She had been to his room and remembered it.
Ring the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened.
A woman with a graceful figure appeared at the door, wearing a silk slip dress.
"Who are you looking for?" The other person spoke with a Beijing accent, and their voice was somewhat affected.
Ji Ying was stunned for a moment, unwilling to believe the guess in her mind, and subconsciously took half a step back.
"Sorry, I might have gone to the wrong place..."
The woman leaned against the door and smiled languidly. "You might not have come to the wrong place. This is my husband's room. My husband's name is Liang Yizhi."
